Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acid and alkali storage tank technology, and specifically to a system for handling leaks in acid and alkali storage tanks. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the chemical industry, acids and alkalis, as important chemical raw materials or intermediate products, have wide applications. For example, in petrochemical and fine chemical industries, large quantities of acids and alkalis are needed for chemical reactions and product synthesis. Acid and alkali storage tank systems have become key equipment for storing and supplying acids and alkalis. Against the backdrop of increasing environmental awareness, the requirements for the storage, use, and discharge of acids and alkalis are becoming more stringent. Acid and alkali storage tank systems need to have better sealing and leak-proof functions to prevent acid and alkali leaks from polluting the environment.
[0003] Existing acid and alkali storage tank systems generally suffer from the following defects and deficiencies: 1) Long-term acid and alkali corrosion of the tank material can lead to thinning, cracking, and even perforation, affecting the tank's strength and sealing performance. Additionally, valves, pipelines, pumps, and other equipment are constantly exposed to corrosive media, making them prone to wear, corrosion, and aging. For example, decreased valve sealing performance can lead to media leakage, and pipeline corrosion and cracking can cause leaks or explosions. 2) Safety protection facilities in the tank area (such as dikes, guardrails, and warning signs) may be improperly installed or damaged, making it impossible to quickly isolate leaked substances in emergencies. Furthermore, the safety monitoring system is inadequate, failing to monitor the safety conditions inside and outside the tank area in a timely manner and unable to provide early warnings and timely handling of abnormal situations. 3) Some acid and alkali storage tank systems lack effective treatment structures for discharged liquids, resulting in environmental pollution when highly acidic or alkaline liquids are discharged. Moreover, some acid and alkali storage tanks leave liquid residue on the discharge side after the outlet valve is closed, posing a safety hazard, and highly volatile acids can also pollute the atmosphere.
[0004] Therefore, how to recover and process the remaining acid and alkali when an acid and alkali storage tank leaks has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

The lower electrode plate I17 is fixedly set at the corresponding position on the upper surface of the high-level tank 1. There are sliders I at the left and right ends of the upper electrode plate I16. There are also vertical slide rails I that match the sliders I at the positions of the sliders I on the left and right inner sidewalls of the alarm box I12.

Both the elastic rope II27 and the float plate II28 are made of corrosion-resistant material, and through the cooperation of the float plate II28, the elastic rope II27, the upper electrode plate II25, the lower electrode plate II26, and the spring II24, the liquid level monitoring and alarm functions are performed for the acid and alkali solutions in the high-level tank 1. The lower limit position of the float plate II28 is located inside the high-level tank 1 near its inner bottom surface, thus detecting leaks when the acid and alkali solutions in the high-level tank 1 are less than half full.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model:
[0033] (1) The high-level tank 1 is in working condition (i.e., outputting acid and alkali solutions).
[0034] (1.1) When the acid and alkali liquid storage volume in the high-level tank 1 exceeds two-thirds in the initial state, the output volume of the acid and alkali liquid can be monitored by the cooperation of pressure gauge 3 and flow meter 4. At this time, float plate I 19 and float plate II 28 will drop synchronously with the liquid level. If float plate I 19 reaches the lower limit before the set time, it indicates that the high-level tank 1 is leaking. At this time, the upper electrode plate I 16 contacts the lower electrode plate I 17, and the alarm I 13 will sound an alarm.
[0035] (1.2) When the acid and alkali liquid storage volume in the high-level tank 1 is less than half in the initial state, the output volume of the acid and alkali liquid can be monitored by the cooperation of pressure gauge 3 and flow meter 4. At this time, alarm component I does not work, and float plate II 28 drops synchronously with the liquid level. If float plate II 28 reaches the lower limit before the set time, it indicates that the high-level tank 1 has leaked. At this time, the upper electrode plate II 25 contacts the lower electrode plate II 26, and alarm II 22 sounds an alarm.
[0036] (2) The high-level tank 1 is in a non-working state (i.e., it does not output acid or alkali solutions).
[0037] (2.1) When the acid and alkali liquid storage in the high-level tank 1 exceeds two-thirds in the initial state, if the float plate I19 drops with the liquid level, it indicates that the high-level tank 1 is leaking; when the upper electrode plate I16 contacts the lower electrode plate I17, the alarm I13 will sound an alarm.
[0038] (2.2) When the acid and alkali liquid storage in the high-level tank 1 is less than half full in the initial state, the alarm component I will not work. If the float plate II 28 drops with the liquid level, it indicates that the high-level tank 1 is leaking. When the upper electrode plate II 25 contacts the lower electrode plate II 26, the alarm II 22 will sound an alarm.
[0039] (3) When alarm I13 or alarm II22 sounds, the valve core of reversing valve I6 moves to the left, so that the inlet P of reversing valve I6 is connected to its working port A. At this time, the acid and alkali in the high-level tank 1 can be transferred to the standby tank 10 by the corrosion-resistant pump II8. If the standby tank 10 is full and there is still acid and alkali in the high-level tank 1, the valve core of reversing valve I6 moves to the right, so that the inlet P of reversing valve I6 is connected to its working port B. At this time, the remaining acid and alkali in the high-level tank 1 is transferred to the low-level tank 7 by gravity until the acid and alkali in the high-level tank 1 is completely transferred. Then the high-level tank 1 that has been emptied can be maintained and repaired.
[0040] (4) After the maintenance and repair of the high-level tank 1 is completed, the valve core of the reversing valve II9 is moved upward so that the return port T of the reversing valve II9 is connected to its working port A. At this time, the acid and alkali liquid in the spare tank 10 can be pumped into the high-level tank 1 through the corrosion-resistant pump III11. Then the valve core of the reversing valve II9 is moved downward so that the return port T of the reversing valve II9 is connected to its working port B. At this time, the acid and alkali liquid in the low-level tank 7 can be pumped into the high-level tank 1 through the corrosion-resistant pump III11.
[0041] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0042] (1) By using alarm device I, alarm device II, pressure gauge 3 and flow meter 4 together, this utility model can facilitate the timely detection of leakage in high-level tank 1, thereby quickly and effectively transferring the remaining acid and alkali liquid in high-level tank 1, which not only reduces losses and pollution, but also facilitates the maintenance and inspection of the emptied high-level tank 1.
[0043] (2) By using the combination of reversing valve I6 and reversing valve II9, this utility model can transfer the remaining acid and alkali liquid in the high-level tank 1 to the low-level tank 7 when the spare tank 10 is full, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that there is still acid and alkali liquid residue in the high-level tank 1.

Without departing from the design concept of the present utility model, all modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
