At present, the 150,000 cubic capacity of crude oil outer floating roof storage tank has been widely popularized. The capacity of the oil tank is increased, and the land occupation is reduced.

Therefore, the inclination of the floating disc during operation is set to 0~1°, so the change of the inclination of the floating disc is very important to the safety of the stable operation of the storage tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in combination with the drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and do not limit the present application.

[0026] Embodiment: as Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model discloses a floating roof tilting device for measuring the oil immersion depth, comprising at least one set of inner float level transmitters 2 installed on the floating roof 1. Each set of inner float level transmitters 2 has three transmitters, and the line connecting the three inner float level transmitters 2 forms an equilateral triangle. Each inner float level transmitter 2 is equidistant from the edge of the floating roof 1, and the bottom of the float, the bottom edge of the floating roof, and the oil surface are on the same horizontal plane; this ensures that the oil immersion depth is obtained more accurately.

[0027] The floating platform 1 is provided with a radar wave reflector 3 on the side of each inner float level transmitter 2. A radar level transmitter 4 is provided on the floating top, which corresponds to each radar wave reflector 3. The radar level transmitter 4 transmits radar waves to the radar wave reflector 3, and the radar wave reflector 3 reflects the radar waves and receives the transmitted radar waves through the radar level transmitter 4.

[0028] It also includes a data processing module, with each of the inner float level transmitters 2 and each radar level transmitter 4 connected to the data processing module; however, the data processing module is not shown in the diagram. There is at least one set of inner float level transmitters 2 on the floating platform 1, with three transmitters in each set. The lines connecting the three inner float level transmitters 2 form an equilateral triangle. Each inner float level transmitter 2 is equidistant from the edge of the floating platform 1, and the bottom of the float, the bottom edge of the floating platform 1, and the oil surface are on the same horizontal plane. These transmitters work in conjunction with the radar level transmitter 4. By obtaining the oil immersion depth of the floating platform 1 measured by each inner float level transmitter 2, and then calculating the oil immersion depth obtained from multiple sets of inner float level transmitters 2, the tilt angle of the floating platform 1 can be obtained with high accuracy, meeting the current requirements for monitoring the operation of the floating platform 1. The positions of the three internal float level transmitters 2 in each group are denoted as A, B, and C, respectively. The following calculation method is used to process the data information collected by the device of this utility model.

[0029] ha is the oil immersion depth at point A, hb is the oil immersion depth at point B, and hc is the oil immersion depth at point C.

[0030] Then the tilt angle of the floating platform

[0031] Where ha = h0 - H1 - H2a;

[0032] hb = h0 - H1 - H2b;

[0033] hc = h0 - H1 - H2c, where H1 is the total liquid level of the tank, h0 is the height of the floating roof, H2a is the distance from the floating roof to point A, H2b is the distance from the floating roof to point B, H2c is the distance from the floating roof to point C, and L is the side length of the equilateral triangle.

[0034] The floating roof 1 is provided with a vertically arranged mounting pipe 5, and a first flange 6 is provided on the mounting pipe 5. The inner float level transmitter 2 is inserted into the interior of the mounting pipe 5. The inner float level transmitter 2 is provided with a second flange 7 that mates with the first flange 6. The first flange 6 and the second flange 7 are fixed together by bolts. A rubber sealing ring is provided between the first flange 6 and the second flange 7. This facilitates the installation of the inner float level transmitter 2 and has the characteristic of good sealing effect.

[0035] The inner float level transmitter 2 is provided in 1-3 groups, wherein the inner float level transmitters 2 in the multiple groups are distributed on a circular line with the same center, and the distance to the center of the circle is consistent. The included angle between the center of the circle and the distance of each group of inner float level transmitters 2 is 20-30°.

[0036] To ensure measurement accuracy, this invention employs multiple sets of internal float level transmitters. Each set of internal float level transmitters forms a triangle with the same side length, and the tilt angle of each set of internal float level transmitters is calculated and averaged. This results in a more accurate tilt angle for the floating platform.

[0037] The radar wave reflector 3 is installed on the floating roof 9 via a disassembly mechanism. The disassembly mechanism includes a positioning block 10 welded to the floating roof 9. The positioning block 10 has a lateral insertion slot 11, one end of which has a lateral insertion port 12, and the other end of which is a closed end. The radar wave reflector 3 is fixed with a plug 14 that is laterally inserted into the slot 11. The positioning block 10 has a positioning bolt for fixing the plug 14. This eliminates the need to fix it to the floating roof with bolts, reducing drilling damage to the floating roof. It is also easy to insert and can move along the slot, facilitating position adjustment during installation.

[0038] Working principle: There is no less than one set of inner float level transmitters 2 on the floating roof 1. Each set of inner float level transmitters 2 has three transmitters. The line connecting the three inner float level transmitters 2 forms an equilateral triangle. Each inner float level transmitter 2 is at the same distance from the edge of the floating roof 1, and the bottom of the float, the bottom edge of the floating roof 1, and the oil surface are on the same horizontal plane. It is used in conjunction with a radar level transmitter 4. In this way, by obtaining the oil immersion depth of the floating roof 1 measured by each inner float level transmitter 2, and then calculating the oil immersion depth measured by multiple sets of inner float level transmitters 2, the tilt angle of the floating roof 1 can be obtained with high accuracy, which can meet the existing needs of floating roof 1 operation monitoring.
