Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil tank leakage detection technology, specifically relating to a device for detecting leakage in the intermediate interlayer of a buried double-layer metal oil storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] Application No. 201621476976.7 discloses a buried double-walled oil tank that is fixedly connected to a leak detector with bolts to achieve accurate and real-time detection of seepage. The detection layer is a vacuum-type seepage detection layer, and a vacuum valve is installed inside the detection layer to create a pressure difference, resulting in high sensitivity and significantly reducing the probability of liquid seepage into the soil. The outer tank is an explosion-proof fiberglass tank, and the outer side of the outer tank is coated with an anti-seepage coating, which has good corrosion resistance and electrical erosion resistance, thereby extending the life of the oil pipe, reducing the risk of explosion, and reducing maintenance costs. The leak detector is an ultrasonic leak detector, and a waterproof rubber membrane is installed on the outside of the leak detector, allowing for leak detection at any time.
[0003] However, when conducting gas filling leak detection on existing double-walled oil tanks, most of them place the detection device on the outside so that staff can easily observe the readings during filling to determine whether nitrogen leakage has occurred. However, after a long period of use, the connection between the current detection device and the connecting pipe is prone to loosening, which can lead to leakage from the connection of the detection device and affect the detection results. This can cause staff to mistakenly believe that there is a leak inside the oil tank, making it less practical. Utility Model Content

[0027] The double-walled oil storage tank, valves, venting and pressure relief valves, solenoid valves, pressure sensors, pressure switches, check valves, air tanks, and sealing rings in this case are all existing technologies. As long as the double-walled oil storage tank, valves, venting and pressure relief valves, solenoid valves, pressure sensors, pressure switches, check valves, air tanks, and sealing rings meet the requirements of this case, they are all acceptable.
[0028] Working principle: The electrical components mentioned in this application are all connected to an external power supply and control switch during use. After the utility model is installed, first check the installation, fixation, and safety protection of the utility model, and then it can be used. During use, the surfaces of the nitrogen supply port 6, system inflation port 7, and pressure detection port 8 of the detection box 4 are all connected by connecting pipes 5 through nuts 18, so that the connecting pipes 5 installed on the system inflation port 7 and nitrogen supply port 6 are connected to the connecting port 21. Then, the double-layer oil storage tank 2 is buried at the bottom of the ground 1, and the connecting pipe 5 installed on the pressure detection port 8 is connected to the gas storage tank 20. Slide the inner slider 101 to insert the buckle 103 into the surface of the plug 104, so that the fan block 105 is locked in the slot on the inner wall of the buckle 103. Under the pull of the spring 102, the tensioning member 10 drives the outer member 9 towards the detection box. 4. Proximity ensures that the connecting pipe 5 is securely connected to each output port. During inflation, open valve 11, solenoid valve 13, and check valve 17. Nitrogen is supplied by gas tank 20. Nitrogen is then filled into the interlayer 3 through nitrogen supply port 6 and system inflation port 7, achieving corrosion protection for the inner wall of the interlayer 3. Pressure sensor 14 can also detect whether there is any leakage inside the interlayer 3. When disassembling the connecting pipe 5, slide the lever 112 to rotate the converter 107 via connecting rod 111, causing the protrusion 109 to slide in the arc groove 108. The protrusion 109 drives the slider 110 to slide, and the slider 110 pushes the fan block 105 out of the slot, allowing the buckle 103 to remove the surface of the insert block 104. Then, rotate the nut 18 to remove the connecting pipe 5. This method is highly practical.
