Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquid tank technology, specifically relating to a multi-partition integrated device for suppressing liquid tank sloshing. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid tank sloshing is a common and complex dynamic problem in marine and ocean engineering, typically occurring in ships transporting liquid cargo, floating platforms, or other liquid storage facilities. Under external disturbances such as waves, wind loads, and ship acceleration, the liquid within the tanks experiences significant free surface sloshing. This sloshing phenomenon can lead to a series of adverse effects, including increased dynamic pressure loads on the hull, reduced stability of the ship or platform, and even structural damage in extreme cases, threatening navigation and operational safety.

[0003] Sloshing not only poses risks to the transportation of liquid cargo but also reduces transportation efficiency. This is especially true when transporting high-value liquids such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil, where dynamic pressure fluctuations and localized impacts caused by sloshing can pose a significant threat to cargo safety. Furthermore, liquid sloshing affects the overall motion characteristics of ships or platforms, potentially leading to navigation difficulties and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, effectively controlling liquid sloshing within tanks has become a critical technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering.

[0004] While some traditional methods exist to mitigate liquid sloshing, such as installing fixed or floating bulkheads, optimizing compartment structure, and adding dampers, their effectiveness is limited under high sea states or complex operating conditions, and they cannot completely suppress sloshing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-bulge integrated device to suppress liquid tank sloshing, in order to improve the safety of liquid transportation and the stability of ships.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] This specific embodiment is a multi-partition integrated device for suppressing liquid tank sloshing, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multi-partition integrated device for suppressing liquid tank sloshing includes a liquid tank body 1, which is located inside the ship's cabin. The liquid tank body 1 has a receiving cavity inside. symmetrically protruding snap-fit ​​plates 8 are provided on the side of the receiving cavity of the liquid tank body 1. A horizontal partition 2 is snapped between two parallel snap-fit ​​plates 8. A snap-fit ​​post 3 is protruding from one end of the horizontal partition 2 near the snap-fit ​​plate 8 and is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​plate 8. A liquid permeable hole 21 for liquid to pass through is vertically opened through the horizontal partition 2. Several liquid permeable holes 21 are opened on the horizontal partition 2 and are arranged in an equidistant array on the horizontal partition 2. A vertical partition 16 is vertically fixed in the receiving cavity at the bottom of the liquid tank body 1. A slot 161 for liquid to pass through is opened on the vertical partition 16.

[0030] Through the synergistic effect of the slot 161 on the vertical partition 16 and the liquid permeation hole 21 on the horizontal partition 2, this device significantly reduces the fluctuation and sloshing of liquid during transportation, thereby improving the safety and stability of liquid transportation. This technical solution takes into account both performance and practicality in its design and has broad application prospects, especially in the fields of liquid transportation, storage and related fields, where it can effectively improve operational safety and efficiency.

[0031] In actual operation, the vertical partition 16 has a protrusion of 2 / 3 of its length, namely the slot 161, which is close to the bottom wall of the liquid tank body 1. It is designed not to completely overlap with the bottom of the liquid tank body 1, so as to ensure that the liquid tank body 1 can maintain flow and energy exchange even when the liquid is less.

[0032] In this example, the optimal suppression effect can be achieved when the height of the vertical baffle 16 is located at 1 / 3 of the liquid depth inside the liquid tank body 1, and the two horizontal baffles 2 are located at 1 / 4 and 1 / 3 of the position below the free liquid surface, respectively.

[0033] In this example, all structures in contact with the liquid, including the vertical partition 16 and the horizontal partition 2, are coated with corrosion-resistant materials such as epoxy resin coating or polyurethane coating to prevent any physical or chemical reaction with the liquid inside the chamber, ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the device. This design not only improves the performance of the device but also extends its service life and is suitable for various liquid transportation scenarios.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first positioning hole 9 is provided on the inner side of the liquid tank body 1 between two corresponding snap-fit ​​plates 8. A positioning cavity is provided inside the horizontal partition 2. A first positioning component 4 is installed in the positioning cavity. The first positioning component 4 is fixed to the first positioning hole 9. The first positioning component 4 includes a slide rod 6 fixed horizontally in the positioning cavity. A positioning plug 5 is installed through the slide rod 6. One end of the positioning plug 5 is inserted into the first positioning hole 9. A top pressure spring 7 is sleeved on the slide rod 6 to assist the positioning plug 5 in pushing. A limit strip 41 is symmetrically fixed horizontally in the positioning cavity. The positioning plug 5 is snap-fitted into the limit strip 41.

[0035] By cooperating with the first positioning hole 9 and the first positioning component 4, the positioning plug 5 is pulled inward. When the positioning plug 5 is pulled, the top pressure spring 7 is compressed, so that one end of the positioning plug 5 is retracted as a whole, and the snap-fit ​​post 3 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​plate 8. When the positioning plug 5 is released, the positioning plug 5 is driven into the first positioning hole 9 under the action of the compressed top pressure spring 7. This allows for the initial positioning and fastening of the horizontal partition 2 during operation, and facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the horizontal partition 2 in subsequent operations.

[0036] The horizontal partition 2 has a fixed cavity at the end away from the snap-fit ​​post 3. A second positioning component 11 is installed in the fixed cavity. A second positioning hole 111 is drilled on the inner side of the liquid tank body 1. The second positioning component 11 and the second positioning hole 111 are positioned together. The second positioning component 11 includes a collar 14 that is rotatably embedded in the fixed cavity. An inserting ring 15 is fixed at the outer edge of the collar 14. A positioning insert 12 is installed through the collar 14. The positioning insert 12 and the inserting ring 15 are threaded together. A limiting post 13 is horizontally fixed in the fixed cavity. The limiting post 13 is installed through the positioning insert 12. The limiting post 13 is a block with a rectangular cross-section.

[0037] By cooperating with the second positioning component 11 and the second positioning hole 111, the embedded ring 15 is rotated, which drives the collar 14 to rotate as a whole. The positioning pin 12 is threadedly engaged with the collar 14, so that the positioning pin 12 is inserted into the second positioning hole 111. This allows the horizontal partition 2 to be adjusted to a specified angle. During operation, the device can be easily adjusted to a specified tilt angle and fixed according to different work requirements, thus adapting to different work needs.

[0038] An angle scale plate 10 is embedded on the inner side of the liquid tank body 1 at the outer edge of the corresponding snap-fit ​​plate 8. The angle scale plate 10 is engraved with scale lines. By setting the angle scale plate 10, it is convenient to effectively judge the overall tilt of the horizontal partition 2 after the horizontal partition 2 is installed.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] During operation, when the horizontal partition 2 needs to be installed, the positioning block 5 is pulled inward. When the positioning block 5 is pulled, the top pressure spring 7 is compressed, thereby retracting one end of the positioning block 5 as a whole. The locking pin 3 is then locked onto the locking plate 8. The positioning block 5 is then released, and under the action of the compressed top pressure spring 7, the positioning block 5 is inserted into the first positioning hole 9, thus completing the initial positioning and fastening of the horizontal partition 2. The horizontal partition 2 is then adjusted to the specified angle. The inserting ring 15 is rotated, which drives the collar 14 to rotate as a whole. The positioning pin 12 and the collar 14 are threaded together, thereby allowing the positioning pin 12 to be inserted into the second positioning hole 111, thus adjusting the horizontal partition 2 to the specified angle.

[0041] During operation, the liquid sloshes through the liquid permeation hole 21 on the horizontal partition 2 and the slot 161 on the vertical partition 16, which can effectively suppress the impact force generated by the liquid sloshing.

[0042] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
