[0003] Currently, cryogenic pump pools on the market achieve a vacuum effect by condensing gas molecules on an extremely low-temperature surface. Traditional cryogenic pump pools use insulation materials to address the problem of cold loss, but their insulation effect is poor and cannot effectively guarantee the purity of the liquid.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a cryogenic pump tank includes a cryogenic pump tank shell 1, a vacuum structure 5, an inner cylinder 14, a vacuum jacket 51, a corrugated metal ring 52, and a heat insulation layer 53. The inner cylinder 14 is disposed inside the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 and is sleeved within the cryogenic pump tank shell 1. The inner cylinder 14 and the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 All of the designs shown are circular. To ensure the stability of the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 and inner cylinder 14 during use, stainless steel or aluminum alloy should be selected as the materials.
[0024] To achieve vacuum isolation between the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 and the inner cylinder 14, a vacuum structure 5 is installed between them. The vacuum structure 5 includes a vacuum interlayer 51, a corrugated metal ring 52, and a heat insulation layer 53. Specifically, the vacuum interlayer 51 is formed within the gap between the inner cylinder 14 and the cryogenic pump tank shell 1. The heat insulation layer 53 is fitted inside the vacuum interlayer 51. The heat insulation layer 53 is composed of multiple layers of aluminum foil and fiberglass cloth, totaling 30-80 layers. The thickness and number of layers of the heat insulation layer 53 are adjusted according to the specific requirements of the vacuum interlayer 51 and the inner cylinder 14. The heat insulation layer 53 also wraps around the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 14, providing insulation to its outer circumference. The function is to place a corrugated metal ring 52 inside the vacuum interlayer 51. It should be noted that one side of the corrugated end of the corrugated metal ring 52 abuts against the side of the heat insulation layer 53, and the other side of the corrugated end of the corrugated metal ring 52 abuts against the inner wall of the vacuum interlayer 51. The design of the corrugated metal ring 52 provides a certain expansion space when the heat insulation layer 53 expands with temperature changes, reducing the probability of the heat insulation layer 53 damaging the vacuum interlayer 51. At the same time, since the heat insulation layer 53 abuts against the vacuum interlayer 51 and the corrugated metal ring 52, the fit between the corrugated metal ring 52 and the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 14 is further increased, further enhancing the heat insulation effect of the inner cylinder 14 during use.
[0025] The corrugated metal rings 52 are evenly distributed in the vacuum jacket 51, and the side of the heat insulation layer 53 away from the corrugated metal rings 52 is attached to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 14.
[0026] The top of the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 and the inner cylinder 14 is connected to a sealing plate 11 that seals the vacuum jacket 51. The sealing plate 11 is a circular design.
[0027] The bottom of the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 is welded with a mounting base plate 12, which is rectangular in shape when viewed from above.
[0028] The mounting base plate 12 has four threaded holes 13, which are located at the corners of the mounting base plate 12.
[0029] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that one side of the corrugated end of the metal corrugated ring 52 abuts against the side of the heat insulation layer 53, and the other side of the corrugated end of the metal corrugated ring 52 abuts against the inner wall of the vacuum jacket 51. The design of the corrugated metal corrugated ring 52 provides a certain expansion space when the heat insulation layer 53 expands with temperature changes, reducing the probability of the heat insulation layer 53 damaging the vacuum jacket 51. At the same time, since the heat insulation layer 53 abuts against the vacuum jacket 51 and the metal corrugated ring 52, the fit between the metal corrugated ring 52 and the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 14 is further increased, further enhancing the heat insulation effect of the inner cylinder 14 during use. Meanwhile, existing cryogenic pump pools solve the problem of cold loss by filling with heat insulation materials, but their heat insulation effect is poor and cannot effectively guarantee the purity of the liquid. This results in a large amount of gas in the traditional cryogenic pump pool needing to be vented before the cryogenic submersible pump is put into operation, causing waste and greatly increasing costs. Choosing a cryogenic pump tank with vacuum processing capability can effectively reduce the loss of liquid cooling, improve economic efficiency, and the vacuum pump tank has a reasonable design structure, low space occupation, convenient installation, and requires no subsequent maintenance, thus improving economic efficiency.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a cryogenic pump tank has an inlet pipe 4 installed inside the inner cylinder 14. The inlet pipe 4 passes through the inner cylinder 14 to the outside of the cryogenic pump tank shell 1, and the inlet pipe 4 and the cryogenic pump tank shell 1 are welded together.
[0032] The cryogenic pump tank shell 1 is connected to a cover 3 by flanges and bolts. A sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the cover 3, which is inserted into the inner cylinder 14 to increase the sealing between the cover 3 and the inner cylinder 14 during use.
[0033] A liquid outlet pipe 2 is welded to the cover 3, and the liquid outlet pipe 2 passes through the cover 3 and into the inner cylinder 14.
[0034] Working principle: When using this cryogenic pump pool, firstly, one side of the corrugated end of the metal corrugated ring 52 abuts against the side of the insulation layer 53, and the other side of the corrugated end of the metal corrugated ring 52 abuts against the inner wall of the vacuum jacket 51. The design of the corrugated metal corrugated ring 52 provides a certain expansion space when the insulation layer 53 expands with temperature changes, reducing the probability of the insulation layer 53 damaging the vacuum jacket 51. At the same time, since the insulation layer 53 abuts against the vacuum jacket 51 and the metal corrugated ring 52, the fit between the metal corrugated ring 52 and the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 14 is further increased, further enhancing the heat insulation effect of the inner cylinder 14 during use. Meanwhile, existing cryogenic pump pools use insulation materials to solve the problem of cold loss, but their insulation effect is poor and cannot effectively guarantee the purity of the liquid. This results in a large amount of gas in the traditional cryogenic pump pool needing to be vented before the cryogenic submersible pump is put into operation, causing waste and greatly increasing costs. Choosing a cryogenic pump tank with vacuum processing effectively reduces liquid cooling loss, improves economic efficiency, and features a rationally designed structure, low space occupancy, easy installation, and no need for subsequent maintenance. This improved economic efficiency ultimately led to the successful completion of the cryogenic pump tank project.
