TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field, and in particular to a cold-keeping structure and a low-temperature full containment tank. BACKGROUND
[0002] The low-temperature full containment tank is a device for storing liquid substances under low-temperature and normal-pressure conditions, which has significant safety and economic advantages. Its main features include: normal-pressure design to avoid the risk of high-pressure tank leakage, double-layer structure and high-efficiency insulation materials to reduce evaporation rate and ensure storage safety; relatively low construction cost, convenient maintenance, and less consumption of manpower and resources, suitable for large-scale liquid storage needs. It plays an important role in the field of low-temperature liquid storage such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and low-temperature products, and is indispensable in the energy, chemical, and medical industries. With the growing global demand for clean energy, the market demand for low-temperature full containment tanks continues to expand.
[0003] However, after the low-temperature full containment tank leaks, the low-temperature liquid or gas may cause the following effects on the foundation due to heat transfer to the foundation structure: the leakage of low-temperature liquid or gas may cause the foundation concrete to freeze, resulting in frost heaving or frost cracking, affecting the stability of the foundation; under low-temperature working conditions, the foundation may be damaged by cracking due to icing and frosting, making repair difficult; after being exposed to low-temperature impact, the mechanical strength of the foundation pile cap may change significantly, posing a safety hazard; if the foundation needs to be maintained, due to the low-temperature environment and the complexity of the structure, the repair difficulty and cost are high.
[0004] A cold-keeping structure for a full containment tank is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN116105062A, which sets up a cold-keeping structure between the inner tank and the outer tank, and a heat insulation structure between the outer tank and the foundation pile cap, to prevent the cold from being transferred to the foundation pile cap and causing the foundation pile cap to freeze. However, in this patent, the inner tank bottom and the outer tank are directly connected by the cold-keeping layer, and when stress concentration occurs at the inner tank bottom, the cold-keeping layer is easily affected and may deform or be damaged, which will affect the cold-keeping effect of the cold-keeping layer, and the heat insulation structure at the bottom of the outer tank may also be affected and may deform or be damaged, thereby causing the foundation pile cap to freeze. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a cold-keeping structure and a low-temperature full containment tank, by setting up a load distribution layer at the bottom of the inner tank and the outer tank, so that the load of the inner tank can be evenly distributed to the cold-keeping structure of the inner tank, and the load of the low-temperature full containment tank as a whole can be evenly distributed to the heat insulation structure of the outer tank, thereby avoiding stress concentration in the cold-keeping structure and the heat insulation structure, which may cause deformation and damage, and further solving the problem of freezing of the foundation pile cap caused by deformation and damage of the cold-keeping structure and the heat insulation structure in the prior art.
[0006] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides a cold-insulating structure for a cryogenic full-containment tank, wherein the cryogenic full-containment tank includes an outer tank and an inner tank located inside the outer tank, and a gap exists between the inner tank and the outer tank, including:

[0009] The first load distribution layer is located inside the ring beam and is disposed on the bottom side of the inner tank.

The setting of the second load distribution layer can evenly distribute the overall load of the low-temperature full-containment tank onto the second insulation layer, thereby reducing the probability of stress concentration in the second insulation layer, and thus ensuring that the second insulation layer can perform its continuous and stable insulation effect, thereby effectively preventing the foundation platform from freezing.
[0016] In some alternative embodiments, the first load-distribution layer is configured as a reinforced concrete layer or a plain concrete layer.
[0017] In some alternative embodiments, the second load-distribution layer is configured as a reinforced concrete mesh layer.

[0019] In some optional embodiments, the first part and the second part are configured in a hierarchical stacked structure, and a moisture-proof layer is arranged between the first part and the second part.
[0020] In some optional embodiments, the first part comprises a plurality of first unit plates spliced with each other, and the second part comprises a plurality of second unit plates spliced with each other, wherein the first part and the second part are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0021] In some optional embodiments, the first unit plates and the second unit plates are both configured as foam glass brick plates or pressure-bearing wood plates.
[0022] In some optional embodiments, the thickness of the first load distribution layer is configured as 75-150 mm.
[0023] In some optional embodiments, a waterproof elastic sealing protective layer is further included, the waterproof elastic sealing protective layer is configured in a ring belt structure, the radially outer side of the waterproof elastic sealing protective layer is connected with the foundation slab, and the radially inner side of the waterproof elastic sealing protective layer is connected with the outer tank bottom edge plate.
[0024] In a second aspect, the application provides a low-temperature full-capacity tank comprising any one of the cold insulation structures according to the first aspect.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0026] The cold insulation structure and the low-temperature full-capacity tank provided by the application can uniformly distribute the load of the inner tank to the first heat insulation layer, and then to the cold insulation layer, thereby effectively reducing the probability of stress concentration of the first heat insulation layer and the cold insulation layer, wherein the first heat insulation layer between the cold insulation layer and the inner tank bottom can effectively reduce the heat exchange between the inner tank and the outside, effectively prevent the internal heat loss and the external heat from entering, and provide a relatively stable temperature environment for the cold insulation layer, so as to ensure that the cold insulation layer can continuously and effectively play the cold insulation function; and the second load distribution layer can uniformly distribute the load of the low-temperature full-capacity tank to the second heat insulation layer, thereby reducing the probability of stress concentration of the second heat insulation layer, and ensuring that the second heat insulation layer can continuously and stably play the heat insulation effect, thereby effectively preventing the foundation slab from freezing.
