Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil storage technology, specifically a beamless reinforced stainless steel liquid-immersed honeycomb internal floating roof. Background Technology
[0002] The liquid-immersed honeycomb internal floating roof belongs to the field of oil storage technology. It is an energy-saving device installed in oil tanks. It is a floating top cover made of metal that can float on the surface of the oil. Covering the liquid surface can reduce the loss of oil evaporation.
[0003] Most existing internal floating roofs are pontoon structures, consisting of a pontoon box and a frame covering the skin. However, these internal floating roofs have low strength and are prone to deformation during use, which leads to a poor fit between the internal floating roof and the tank body and easily creates gaps. This reduces the sealing effect of the internal floating roof and makes the oil easily lost. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, the sealing assembly is in contact with the outer tank.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a beamless reinforced stainless steel liquid-immersed honeycomb internal floating roof, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a beamless reinforced stainless steel liquid-immersed honeycomb internal floating roof, including an inner floating cylinder 1. The outer surface of the inner floating cylinder 1 is provided with a side groove 2. A sealing component 3 is provided inside the side groove 2. The end face of the inner floating cylinder 1 is provided with a honeycomb through hole 4. An upper connecting groove 5 is provided at the upper part of the port of the honeycomb through hole 4. A lower connecting groove 6 is provided at the lower part of the port of the honeycomb through hole 4. An upper reinforcing mesh 7 is fixed inside the upper connecting groove 5. A lower reinforcing mesh 8 is fixed inside the lower connecting groove 6.
[0027] The upper part of the upper reinforcing mesh 7 is provided with an upper concave cavity 9, and the lower part of the lower reinforcing mesh 8 is provided with a lower concave cavity 10. A screw hole 11 is provided between the upper concave cavity 9 and the lower concave cavity 10. An upper float 12 is provided inside the upper concave cavity 9, and an external screw nozzle 13 is fixed to the lower part of the upper float 12. A lower float 14 is provided inside the lower concave cavity 10, and an internal screw nozzle 15 is fixed to the upper part of the lower float 14. By providing multiple honeycomb through holes 4 on the surface of the inner float body 1, the inner float body 1 is composed of honeycomb units. This design reduces weight and improves stability while ensuring strength. Furthermore, the buoyancy of the inner float body 1 can be improved by the upper float 12 and the lower float 14, preventing the inner float body 1 from sinking due to the increased weight caused by the addition of the upper reinforcing mesh 7 and the lower reinforcing mesh 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the external threaded nozzle 13 is threadedly fixed to the threaded hole 11, and the internal threaded nozzle 15 is threadedly fixed to the external threaded nozzle 13. This allows the upper float 12 to be fixed to the upper reinforcing mesh 7 by threading the external threaded nozzle 13 to the threaded hole 11, and the lower float 14 to be fixed to the lower reinforcing mesh 8 by threading the internal threaded nozzle 15 to the external threaded nozzle 13.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper float 12 is adapted to the upper concave cavity 9, and the lower float 14 is adapted to the lower concave cavity 10. The outer surfaces of both the upper float 12 and the lower float 14 are provided with rubber layers, which facilitates the fitting and fixing of the upper float 12 inside the upper concave cavity 9 and the fitting and fixing of the lower float 14 inside the lower concave cavity 10.
[0030] Furthermore, the upper reinforcing mesh 7 is fixed to the upper port of the honeycomb through hole 4, and the lower reinforcing mesh 8 is fixed to the lower port of the honeycomb through hole 4. The upper reinforcing mesh 7 and the lower reinforcing mesh 8 are fixedly connected. By fixing the upper reinforcing mesh 7 and the lower reinforcing mesh 8 at the upper and lower ends of the honeycomb through hole 4, the strength at the honeycomb through hole 4 can be improved, and the inner float body 1 can be prevented from deforming at the honeycomb through hole 4.
[0031] Furthermore, both the upper reinforcing mesh 7 and the lower reinforcing mesh 8 are composed of multiple reinforcing ribs combined with each other. Two adjacent upper reinforcing meshes 7 and two adjacent lower reinforcing meshes 8 are fixedly connected. By fixing the upper reinforcing meshes 7 and the lower reinforcing meshes 8 to each other respectively, the strength of the inner float body 1 can be improved from both the upper and lower sides, and deformation of the inner float body 1 can be prevented.
[0032] Furthermore, multiple upper reinforcing meshes 7 form a skeleton from the upper part of the inner float body 1, and multiple lower reinforcing meshes 8 form a skeleton from the lower part of the inner float body 1. The inner float body 1, the upper reinforcing meshes 7, and the lower reinforcing meshes 8 are all made of stainless steel, which is high in strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. The strength of the inner float body 1 can be improved by using the upper reinforcing meshes 7 and the lower reinforcing meshes 8.
[0033] Furthermore, the sealing component 3 comes into contact with the outer tank body. The sealing component 3 is made of foam weir plate material. The foam weir plate has the characteristics of being lightweight, water-resistant, moisture-resistant, and having a long service life, which can protect the tank body. Thus, the sealing component 3 can improve the sealing performance at the junction of the inner float 1 and the tank body.
[0034] In use, the inner float 1 is placed on the oil inside the tank, and the sealing component 3 seals the connection between the inner float 1 and the tank, preventing oil evaporation. The inner float 1 floats up and down with the oil level. The upper frame, composed of multiple upper reinforcing ribs 7, increases the strength of the inner float 1 from above, and the lower frame, composed of multiple lower reinforcing ribs 8, increases its strength from below. Therefore, the upper and lower reinforcing ribs 7 and 8 enhance the strength of the inner float 1, ensuring it does not deform during use, thus protecting the inner float. The inner float 1 fits snugly against the tank body to prevent the oil from evaporating due to reduced sealing caused by deformation of the inner float body 1. In addition, the upper float 12 can be fixed inside the upper concave cavity 9 by the threaded connection between the outer threaded nozzle 13 and the threaded hole 11, and the lower float 14 can be fixed inside the lower concave cavity 10 by the threaded connection between the inner threaded nozzle 15 and the outer threaded nozzle 13, and the upper float 12 and the lower float 14 are connected. Therefore, the buoyancy of the inner float body 1 can be improved by the upper float 12 and the lower float 14, and the inner float body 1 can be prevented from being immersed in the oil due to excessive weight. This allows the inner float body 1 to always float on the surface of the oil, thereby improving the performance of the inner float body 1.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
