Detailed Implementation

[0025] This application is based on the inventor's discoveries and understanding of the following facts and problems:

[0026] Dairy factories require a large number of storage tanks in their processes, and as production capacity expands, the demand for these tanks increases accordingly.

[0027] To maximize storage capacity by utilizing vertical space within limited installation area, vertical storage tanks are often used. While vertical tanks can fully utilize vertical space to increase the volume of a single tank, the process requires different liquids to be stored in tanks due to the inherent characteristics of the stored materials. Although vertical tanks can increase the volume of a single tank, they cannot increase the number of tanks, thus limiting the amount of material that can be stored per tank.

[0028] In related technologies, one way to increase the number of storage tanks when the total space is limited is to install the tanks in layers through a multi-level building, but this method has a high construction cost.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The vertical storage tank 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the vertical storage tank 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a tank body 10 and a plurality of inner liner 20.

[0034] The tank body 10 is oriented axially in the vertical direction (as shown by the arrow in the figure). Multiple inner liner 20 are disposed inside the tank body 10 and arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the tank body 10. Each inner liner 20 is provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe.

[0035] Specifically, the tank body 10 can adopt the same appearance, transportation, hoisting and positioning methods as existing vertical storage tanks, and each of the multiple inner tanks 20 can be used as an independent storage tank. It is preferred that there are two inner tanks 20.

[0036] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the vertical storage tank 1 is provided with a tank body 10 and multiple inner tanks 20, which are arranged vertically. The tank body 10 can serve as the outer shell and support for the multiple inner tanks 20, so that the vertical storage tank 1 can adopt the same appearance, transportation and installation method as existing vertical storage tanks. The multiple inner tanks 20 can be used as independent storage tanks. Compared with the vertical storage tanks in the related technology, it can also make full use of the height space under the limited floor area, increase the overall volume, and increase the number of storage tanks without changing the occupied space, so as to facilitate the storage of a variety of different liquids. Compared with the method of setting up storage tanks in a multi-story building in the related technology, the setting of multi-story buildings can be eliminated, reducing construction costs.

[0037] Therefore, the vertical storage tank 1 according to the present utility model has the advantages of high space utilization, easy to increase the number of storage tanks, and low cost.

[0038] The vertical storage tank 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the vertical storage tank 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a tank body 10 and a plurality of inner liner 20.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there is a space 11 between two adjacent inner liner 20, and the tank body 10 is provided with an inspection port 12 communicating with the space 11. Specifically, an inspection port 12 is also provided below the lowest inner liner 20 of the tank body 10. This facilitates maintenance of the bottom of the inner liner 20 through the inspection port 12.

[0041] More specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, each inner tank 20 is provided with a manhole 21, and each manhole 21 communicates with the outside of the tank body 10. This allows operators to easily enter and exit the inner tank 20 through the manhole 21, and the provision of a manhole 21 on each inner tank 20 facilitates the use of each inner tank 20 as an independent storage tank.

[0042] Advantageously, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the tank body 10 is provided with multiple sub-chambers 22, each of which is connected to multiple inner liner 20 through multiple manholes 21. Specifically, each sub-chamber 22 corresponds one-to-one with each inner liner 20. The sub-chambers 22 can be connected to other structures, or each sub-chamber 22 can be provided with an openable and closable sub-chamber door. This facilitates operation by personnel within the sub-chambers 22 and allows easy access to and from the manholes 21.

[0043] More advantageously, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each sub-chamber 22 is equipped with a stirring device 23, which extends into the inner liner 20. This allows the stirring device 23 to agitate the liquid inside the inner liner 20, making the inner liner 20 suitable for storing liquids that need to be agitated.

[0044] Furthermore, each sub-compartment 22 has an insulation layer inside its wall. This helps to maintain the temperature inside the sub-compartment 22, allowing the equipment inside the sub-compartment 22 to operate in environments with low ambient temperatures.

[0045] Furthermore, the tank body 10, the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe have an insulation layer inside their walls, and the insulation layer contains a drainage pipe and a wiring pipe. This allows the vertical storage tank 1 to be installed in environments with low ambient temperatures, ensuring that the equipment on the tank body 10 and the stored liquid maintain a reasonable temperature.

[0046] Figures 3-5 A vertical storage tank 1 according to some examples of the present invention is shown. For example... Figures 3-5 As shown, the outer surface of the tank 10 is provided with a top maintenance platform 31 and a middle maintenance platform 32. The top maintenance platform 31 is located on the upper surface of the tank 10, and the middle maintenance platform 32 is located at the maintenance port 12. This facilitates maintenance operations by operators on the maintenance platforms.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each sub-compartment 22 is equipped with a sub-compartment maintenance platform 33. This facilitates maintenance operations by personnel on the maintenance platform.

[0048] Specifically, multiple vertical storage tanks 1 can be arranged side by side, the top maintenance platforms 31 of multiple vertical storage tanks 1 can be connected to each other, the middle maintenance platforms 32 of multiple vertical storage tanks 1 can be connected to each other, and the sub-compartment maintenance platforms 33 of multiple vertical storage tanks 1 can be connected to each other, so as to facilitate the movement of operators between multiple vertical storage tanks 1.

[0049] Advantageously, each inner tank 20 is equipped with a breathing tube, a monitoring device, and a sampling valve. This further facilitates the independent use of each inner tank 20 as a storage tank, and allows for an increase in the number of storage tanks.

[0050] Other components and operations of the vertical storage tank 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
