Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating roof technology, and in particular to a flexible floating roof structure. Background Technology
[0002] A floating roof is a device used to store liquids, particularly in the petrochemical industry. It is a large disc that floats on the surface of a liquid, typically used to reduce evaporation losses. Floating roofs effectively cover the liquid surface, reducing the contact area between the liquid and air, thus slowing evaporation. Furthermore, floating roofs help prevent contamination and reduce fire risks. When designing and using floating roofs, factors such as the properties of the liquid, storage conditions, and the materials and structure of the floating roof must be considered to ensure safe and effective operation. On large ships, the oil in the tanks moves with the ship. Existing floating roofs in liquid storage systems are generally monolithic, lacking flexibility and unable to move with the liquid, leading to reduced sealing effectiveness and potential safety hazards. Therefore, a flexible floating roof is needed for effective sealing. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a flexible floating roof structure. Through the cooperation of rubber sealing gasket, placement box, positioning block, insertion rod, floating box, insertion groove, fixing plate, first spring and airbag, the floating roof can float on the oil surface, closely fit the oil body, and rise and fall with the oil in the oil storage tank. It has high sealing performance and low consumption; it is easy to disassemble and maintain the floating box and easy to replace with a new floating box.
[0004] This utility model also provides a flexible floating roof structure as described above, comprising: a rubber sealing gasket; a placement box fixedly connected to the inner surface of the rubber sealing gasket; a positioning block fixedly connected to the inner surface of the placement box; an insertion rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning block; a floating box provided on the inner surface of the placement box; and an insertion groove provided on the lower surface of the floating box. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rubber sealing gasket, and a first spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate. An air bladder is fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring. With these components, the floating roof can float on the oil surface, closely adhering to the oil volume, rising and falling with the oil level in the storage tank. It offers high sealing performance and low energy consumption; it also facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the floating box and makes it easy to replace with a new floating box.
[0005] According to the flexible floating roof structure described in this utility model, the insertion rod is movably connected to the insertion slot. These components facilitate the stabilization of the floating box and the placement container.

These components facilitate support of the airbag and improve the sealing performance.
[0007] According to the flexible floating roof structure described in this utility model, a counterweight block, which is circular in shape, is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber sealing gasket. These components facilitate the downward movement of the floating roof following the oil flow.
[0008] According to the flexible floating roof structure described in this utility model, a second spring and a third spring are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the placement box. These components facilitate the return of the placement box to its original shape after it floats freely with the oil.

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a flexible floating roof structure, comprising: a rubber sealing gasket 1; a placement box 2 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the rubber sealing gasket 1; a second spring 12 and a third spring 13 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the placement box 2; a positioning block 3 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the placement box 2; an insertion rod 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning block 3; a floating box 5 provided on the inner surface of the placement box 2; a sliding groove 15 provided on the inner surface of the placement box 2; the floating box 5 slidably connected to the sliding groove 15; a handle 14 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the floating box 5; an anti-slip texture provided on the outer surface of the handle 14; an insertion groove 6 provided on the lower surface of the floating box 5; and the insertion rod 4 movably connected to the insertion groove 6.
[0023] A fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rubber sealing gasket 1. A first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate 7. An air bladder 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring 8. A rubber sealing ring plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber sealing gasket 1. An air bladder 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rubber sealing ring plate 10. A counterweight 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber sealing gasket 1. The counterweight 11 is in the shape of a ring.
[0024] Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the float box 5, the float box 5 is pulled out of the placement box 2 by pulling the handle 14, so that the insertion rod 4 slides out of the insertion slot 6. When the oil level in the oil storage tank drops, the float is affected by the counterweight 11 and moves downward, thereby pulling the first spring 8. The first spring 8 drives the airbag 9 to move downward, so that when it moves to the oil surface, it is in contact with the oil surface. When the oil level rises, the oil pushes the float box 5 to move upward, thereby driving the airbag 9 to move upward, and driving the entire float to move upward.
[0025] Working principle: When using this device, when it is necessary to remove the float box 5, pull the handle 14 to pull the float box 5 out of the placement box 2, so that the insertion rod 4 slides out of the insertion slot 6. When the oil level in the oil tank drops, the float is affected by the counterweight 11 and moves downward, thereby pulling the first spring 8. The first spring 8 drives the air bag 9 to move downward, so that when it moves to the oil surface, it is in contact with the oil surface. When the oil level rises, the oil pushes the float box 5 to move upward, thereby driving the air bag 9 to move upward, and driving the entire float to move upward.
[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
