Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid nitrogen insulation technology, specifically a multifunctional liquid nitrogen insulation device. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid nitrogen has a high thermal conductivity, which allows it to absorb and transfer heat quickly. Its evaporation rate depends on specific conditions, such as ambient temperature, air flow speed, and the container in which it is stored. Generally speaking, the higher the ambient temperature and the faster the air flow, the faster the heat conduction of the container and the faster the evaporation. The ambient temperature is generally around 20°C. At room temperature, the outside world is the heat source for liquid nitrogen, which is equivalent to being heated in a 360-degree range. Liquid nitrogen will evaporate very quickly. Therefore, liquid nitrogen needs to be stored in a professional liquid nitrogen storage tank.

[0003] However, the cryogenic liquid nitrogen tanks undergo long-distance transportation from the manufacturer to the user. During this process, slight loosening may occur at the connection between the liquid level gauge and the tank body of the liquid transport tank, leading to uncontrollable icing of the liquid nitrogen. This is not noticeable when the tank is not in use, but a large amount of frost will appear after use. The frost or ice inside the liquid nitrogen tank is mainly due to heat exchange between the inner and outer liner of the liquid nitrogen tank, as well as the condensation of water vapor in the air. When the liquid nitrogen from the transport tank is poured into the liquid nitrogen storage tank, ice is also poured into the liquid nitrogen storage tank, causing the stopper to freeze. If liquid nitrogen containing ice, ice shells, or impurities is added to the Dewar flask, it will directly affect the heat conduction, reduce the resolution, increase noise, and cause the electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer to malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional liquid nitrogen insulation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figures 1-5As shown, this application provides a multifunctional liquid nitrogen insulation device for a liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, comprising: an insulation upper cover 1 with an anti-slip groove 4 on its surface and an internal thread 101 therein; an insulation lower cover 2, comprising a lower cover body 201 and a lower cover inner liner 202, the lower cover inner liner 202 being disposed inside the lower cover body 201 and being movably connected to the lower cover body 201, and the lower cover body 201 having an external thread 203; and a filter component 3 disposed between the insulation upper cover 1 and the insulation lower cover 2 for filtering ice or impurities.

[0037] The liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 is insulated by the lower cover body 201 fitted onto it. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover body 201 are screwed together by the external thread 203 and the internal thread 101, thus providing a second layer of insulation for the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5. The threaded locking device is more airtight and has a better insulation effect than the bayonet device. During the process of using liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 filters the liquid nitrogen through the filter component 3 to ensure that ice or impurities are filtered out, which can effectively prevent ice or impurities from entering the Dewar flask and ensure that the electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer cannot work properly.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the filter component 3 includes a filter cup body 303, which has a folded structure. One end of the filter cup body 303 is connected to a strainer 306, and the other end is connected to a connecting plate 302.

[0039] The foldable filter cup body 303 facilitates the storage of the filter component 3. When the filter cup body 303 is in the folded state, it is stored in the heat-insulating cover 1. When the filter component 3 is taken out from the heat-insulating cover 1, the filter cup body 303 is unfolded without affecting the use of the filter component 3.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle ring 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter cup body 303 near the connecting plate 302.

[0041] The carrying ring 301 allows for easy movement of the filter component 3, and the rotating carrying ring 301 can be stored on the side wall of the filter cup body 303 when the filter cup body 303 is folded, without affecting the folding of the filter cup body 303.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, two sets of locking blocks 304 are provided on the connecting plate 302. The two sets of locking blocks 304 are distributed circumferentially. A fixing groove 102 is provided at the corresponding position of each locking block 304 on the heat insulation cover 1. A locking groove 103 is provided on one side of the bottom of the fixing groove 102. The locking groove 103 is distributed circumferentially inside the heat insulation cover 1.

[0043] When the filter cup body 303 is in the folded state, align the locking block 304 with the fixing groove 102, and then push the filter component 3 into the heat-insulating cover 1 until the locking block 304 is at the bottom of the fixing groove 102. Then rotate the filter component 3 so that the locking block 304 enters the locking groove 103, thus completing the storage of the filter component 3. This can prevent dust and save space. Conversely, the filter component 3 can be removed from the heat-insulating cover 1.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an external block 204 is provided on the lower cover body 201, and two sets of pins 205 are provided on the external block 204; a connecting rod 305 is provided on the connecting plate 302, and a through hole is opened at the end of the pin 205 corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 305. When both ends of the connecting rod 305 extend into the through hole, the filter component 3 is rotatably connected to the lower cover body 201.

[0045] By inserting both ends of the connecting rod 305 into the through holes of the pin 205, the filter component 3 can be rotatably mounted on the lower cover body 201.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower cover body 201 has an internal groove 208, and the lower cover inner liner 202 is disposed in the internal groove 208.

[0047] By setting up a separate lower cover body 201 and lower cover inner liner 202, when the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 needs to be poured out, the lower cover inner liner 202 can be removed from the lower cover body 201. At this time, the lower cover body 201 is still fitted on the tank opening 501, and the filter component 3 is rotatably connected to the lower cover body 201, so that the liquid nitrogen can directly pass through the filter component 3 when it is poured out, saving time and effort in filtering the liquid nitrogen.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 is provided with a tank opening 501, and multiple sets of limiting grooves 502 are provided on the tank opening 501; a sealing gasket 206 is provided in the inner liner 202 of the lower cover, and a limiting block 207 is provided at the corresponding position of each limiting groove 502 of the sealing gasket 206.

[0049] The sealing gasket 206 and the limiting block 207 inside the inner liner 202 of the lower cover provide a first layer of insulation for the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5. The limiting groove 502 and the limiting block 207 work together to limit the insulation of the lower cover 2, ensuring its sealing and insulation performance.

[0050] The specific details of this plan are as follows:

[0051] When liquid nitrogen transported over long distances needs to be poured into the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, the lower cover body 201 is removed from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, and then the screwed lower cover body 201 and the insulated upper cover 1 are separated. At this time, the filter component 3 is stored in the insulated upper cover 1. Then, the filter component 3 is rotated so that the locking block 304 moves from the locking groove 103 into the fixing groove 102 until the locking block 304 is aligned with the fixing groove 102. At this time, the filter component 3 can be removed from the insulated upper cover 1. Then, the folded filter cup body 303 is unfolded and the unfolded filter component 3 is placed at the tank opening 501. At this time, liquid nitrogen is poured into the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 through the filter component 3, which can filter out ice or impurities in the transport tank.

[0052] When it is necessary to pour the liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 into the testing instrument, first separate the screw-on lower cover body 201 and the heat-insulating upper cover 1. At this time, the filter component 3 is stored in the heat-insulating upper cover 1. Then rotate the filter component 3 so that the locking block 304 moves from the locking groove 103 into the fixing groove 102 until the locking block 304 is aligned with the fixing groove 102. At this time, the filter component 3 can be removed from the heat-insulating upper cover 1. Then unfold the folded filter cup body 303. At this time, insert the two ends of the connecting rod 305 into the pin 205. Inside the through hole, the filter element 3 is rotated and set on the lower cover body 201. The lower cover inner liner 202 is taken out from the lower cover body 201. At this time, the lower cover body 201 is still fitted on the can opening 501. The position of the filter element 3 is adjusted, and then the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 is poured into the Dewar flask. When the liquid nitrogen is poured out of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, it needs to pass through the filter element 3, which can filter ice or impurities again, effectively preventing ice or impurities from entering the Dewar flask and ensuring that the electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer cannot work properly.

[0053] After use, place the inner liner 202 back into the main body 201, then remove the connecting rod 305 from the pin 205. Fold the filter cup body 303, aligning the locking block 304 with the fixing groove 102. Push the filter component 3 into the insulated top cover 1 until the locking block 304 is at the bottom of the fixing groove 102. Then rotate the filter component 3 to allow the locking block 304 to enter the locking groove 103, completing the storage of the filter component 3. This method is both dustproof and space-saving. Finally, the insulation is secured by the engagement of the internal thread 101 and the external thread 203. The upper cover 1 is screwed onto the lower cover body 201, and the lower cover body 201 is fitted onto the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5. At this time, the sealing gasket 206 and the limiting block 207 in the inner liner 202 of the lower cover provide a first layer of insulation for the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5. Then, the insulated upper cover 1 and the insulated lower cover 2 are connected by screws to provide a second layer of insulation for the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5. The threaded temperature locking device is more airtight and has a better insulation effect than the bayonet device. In addition, the filter component 3 can be well stored in the insulated upper cover 1 without affecting its use, ensuring that the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 filters ice or impurities during the liquid nitrogen extraction process.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
