Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mobile thermal energy storage technology, and in particular, it is a mobile thermal energy storage pressure vessel external box. Background Technology
[0002] Mobile thermal energy storage pressure vessels include mobile thermal energy storage tank trucks and mobile thermal energy storage tank containers. Their main application scenario is mobile heating, which means absorbing steam of suitable quality from an upstream heat source and transporting it by road to downstream heat users (including industrial and civil steam and hot water) to provide users with a suitable quality steam or hot water heat source, realizing waste heat utilization and energy conservation and emission reduction targets. The application of this product not only creates economic benefits for heat sources and heat users, but also achieves energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection.
[0003] The loading and unloading ports of commonly used mobile energy storage pressure vessels are installed at the rear of the vehicle frame, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, during filling, the operator stands on the work platform and connects the loading and unloading hose to the filling port. During unloading, the loading and unloading hose is also connected to the unloading port. Since the mobile energy storage pressure vessel is mounted on the vehicle frame, the height of the vehicle frame plus the operating space distance of the loading and unloading interfaces (filling port and unloading port) is about 1450mm above the ground. When connecting the loading and unloading hose to the loading and unloading port, the operator must use the work platform to carry out the operation. This results in low loading and unloading efficiency and is very inconvenient. Moreover, the working environment temperature inside the rear operating box is very high, usually above 60°C. The operator cannot stay in the working area for too long when loading and unloading the connecting hose. In order to address the above problems, this application provides an external box for a mobile thermal energy storage pressure vessel to improve loading and unloading efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an external box for a mobile thermal energy storage pressure vessel, so as to solve the problem that in the prior art, operators must use a work platform to connect the loading and unloading hose to the loading and unloading port, which results in low loading and unloading efficiency and great inconvenience.

However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a mobile thermal energy storage pressure vessel external mounting box, comprising a frame 2 and a thermal energy storage tank 1 mounted on the frame 2. An external mounting mechanism 3 is provided at the rear of the thermal energy storage tank 1. The external mounting mechanism 3 includes a first protective box 31, a second protective box 32, and external piping. The first protective box 31 and the second protective box 32 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the rear of the thermal energy storage tank 1 and connected to the frame 2. The external piping includes a filling extension pipe 5 and a steam unloading extension pipe 5. The filling extension pipe includes a filling connecting pipe 4 and a filling extension connector 6. One end of the filling connecting pipe 4 is connected to the thermal energy storage tank 1. The other end of the filling port pipe 11 at the tail extends into the first protective box 31 and is connected to the filling extension joint 6. The unloading extension pipe 5 includes an unloading connection pipe and an unloading extension joint 7. One end of the unloading connection pipe is connected to the unloading port pipe 12 at the tail of the thermal energy storage tank 1, and the other end extends into the second protective box 32 and is connected to the unloading extension joint 7. The external pipe specification is DN50 or DN65. With this structure, the loading and unloading port can be lowered to a height of 750mm above the ground. Operators can quickly connect the loading and unloading hose without the need for a work platform, which improves work efficiency and ensures that operators avoid operating in high-temperature environments.
[0022] Both the first protective box 31 and the second protective box 32 are fixed to the rear overhang beam of the vehicle frame 2 by bolts. The first protective box 31 and the second protective box 32 form a protective space at the rear of the thermal energy storage tank 1, which can protect the filling extension joint 6 and the unloading extension joint 7 and prevent them from being damaged by external forces. Both the first protective box 31 and the second protective box 32 are provided with openings that communicate with the outside, so that external devices can be connected to the filling extension joint 6 and the unloading extension joint 7 through the openings.
[0023] The filling connection pipe 4 includes at least two first flanges, a first pipe, and a first elbow. One end of the first pipe is connected to the filling port pipe 11 via the first elbow and the first flange, and the other end is connected to the filling extension joint 6 via another first flange. The unloading connection pipe includes at least two second flanges, a second pipe, and a second elbow. One end of the second pipe is connected to the unloading port pipe 12 via the second elbow and the second flange, and the other end is connected to the unloading extension joint 7 via another second flange.
[0024] Since the medium filled in the thermal energy storage pressure vessel is water vapor or saturated water, with a temperature typically between 100℃ and 220℃, these external pipes require insulation. Both the filling connection pipe 4 and the unloading connection pipe are equipped with insulation components. The insulation components include insulation materials, such as a glass wool layer or an aluminum silicate layer, with an insulation thickness of 30–50 mm.
[0025] 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.
