TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to chemical equipment technical field especially relates to a storage tank for nitric acid production. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important chemical raw material, nitric acid has a wide range of applications in chemical industry, metallurgy, dyes, medicine and many other fields. In the production process of nitric acid, the storage tank for nitric acid production plays a crucial role. It is a key equipment for storing nitric acid products and ensuring the connection of materials between production and use.

[0003] When the liquid level in the storage tank decreases, in order to protect the normal pressure in the tank, the outside air will enter the tank through the breather valve. Since nitric acid is volatile, when it comes into contact with air, nitric acid molecules will continuously volatilize from the liquid phase to the gas phase, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of nitric acid. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model provides a solution significantly different from the prior art to solve the technical problem of the prior art solution that easily leads to a decrease in the concentration of nitric acid. In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a storage tank for nitric acid production, which aims to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] By providing the floating plate, the contact between nitric acid and air above can be blocked. Since there is a gap between the floating plate and the inner wall of the tank body, the air bag can be inflated by the gas filling mechanism and expanded to seal the gap, ensuring that air cannot come into contact with nitric acid, solving the problem of a decrease in the concentration of nitric acid. By providing the flow dividing mechanism, when nitric acid is added to the tank body, it can avoid direct impact on the floating plate above, preventing damage to the floating plate.

[0007] Preferably, the gas filling mechanism comprises a U-shaped bracket installed on the top of the tank body, a cylinder provided inside the U-shaped bracket, an air outlet pipe connected to the bottom of the cylinder, the end of the air outlet pipe connected to the top of the tank body, a piston rod provided inside the cylinder, an electric push rod installed on the top of the U-shaped bracket, the end of the extension end of the electric push rod connected to the piston rod, an air inlet pipe connected to the outer surface of the cylinder, and a one-way valve provided inside the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe.

[0011] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is arranged on the outer surface of the air outlet pipe, and an electromagnetic valve is arranged in the exhaust pipe.

[0012] When the liquid level of the nitric acid in the tank body changes, the electromagnetic valve can be opened, so that the air in the air bag can be discharged outward from the exhaust pipe, thereby playing a pressure relief role, and at this time, the gap between the float plate and the inner wall of the tank body is restored, so that the float plate can float up and down with the change of the liquid level of the nitric acid.

[0013] Preferably, a climbing frame is arranged on the outer surface of the tank body, and a fence is arranged on the top of the tank body.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] In use, the setting of the floating plate can block the contact of nitric acid with air above, and since there is a gap between the floating plate and the inner wall of the tank body, the gap can be sealed by the air bag through the inflation of the inflation mechanism, so that the air cannot contact the nitric acid, and the problem of reduced concentration of nitric acid is solved.

[0035] In the present embodiment:

[0036] First, by adjusting the pressure inside the tank 100 through the breather valve 101, when the liquid level is lowered, the outside air can enter the tank 100 to balance the pressure, and the float plate 102 floats on the nitric acid to prevent the nitric acid from contacting the air. However, a gap is required between the float plate 102 and the inner wall of the tank 100 to ensure that the float plate 102 can rise and fall with the change in the liquid level. Therefore, whenever the liquid level of the nitric acid changes, the electric push rod 205 needs to be started to drive the piston rod 203 to move up and down inside the cylinder 202. When the piston rod 203 rises, the outside air enters the cylinder 202 from the air inlet pipe 206, and when the piston rod 203 descends, the air inside the cylinder 202 is pushed from the air outlet pipe 204 to the hose 106, thereby achieving the purpose of inflating the air bag 103 to seal the gap. When it is necessary to change the liquid level of the nitric acid, the electromagnetic valve 401 can be opened to allow the air inside the air bag 103 to be discharged from the exhaust pipe 400, thereby achieving the purpose of pressure relief. At this time, the gap between the float plate 102 and the inner wall of the tank 100 is restored, so that the float plate 102 can float up and down with the change in the liquid level of the nitric acid.

[0037] Next, when it is necessary to supplement the nitric acid inside the tank 100 through the liquid inlet pipe 105, the nitric acid enters the annular pipe 301 from the liquid inlet pipe 105, and after being divided by the multiple shunt pipes 302, it can impact on the deflector plate 303 with a small flow rate. The deflector plate 303 guides the nitric acid to flow along the inner wall of the tank 100 and into the lower part of the float plate 102 through the gap between the float plate 102 and the tank 100, thereby avoiding the direct impact of the nitric acid on the upper part of the float plate 102, which can cause damage to the float plate 102.

[0038] Finally, when it is necessary to maintain and inspect the breather valve 101 or the inflation mechanism 200, the worker can climb to the top of the tank 100 through the climbing frame 500, and the fence 501 can prevent falling.

[0039] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and of course cannot limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned embodiments can be implemented in whole or in part, and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present application still fall within the scope of the present application.
