Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy technology, and in particular to a natural gas storage device for petrochemical applications. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases naturally occurring in underground strata. Its main component is methane, and it also contains small amounts of low-carbon alkanes such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as non-hydrocarbon gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. When burned, it mainly produces carbon dioxide and water. It is a relatively clean type of fossil energy. With the expansion of demand from automobiles, power generation, and other fields, the proportion of natural gas in the global energy structure continues to increase, and its role is constantly being upgraded.
[0003] Natural gas is a clean, efficient, and low-carbon fossil energy source. However, its physical properties and supply-demand dynamics directly drive the demand for storage equipment. As the global energy transitions towards low carbon, the proportion of natural gas in the energy consumption structure continues to increase. In the petrochemical field, natural gas is both a fuel and an important chemical raw material, widely used in industry and civil applications. Storage equipment is crucial for ensuring supply. During the storage and retrieval of natural gas, the pressure inside the storage tank fluctuates due to changes in the amount of medium. Currently, for natural gas storage equipment, overpressured gas is usually stored in external equipment, compressed, and then stored back into the tank, resulting in resource waste and space occupation.

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 1 , attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 The inner wall of the inner tank 15 is connected to a gas intake pipe 27, the inner wall of the gas intake pipe 27 is connected to multiple valves 23, the outer wall of the gas intake pipe 27 is connected to a one-way valve 22, the outer wall of the inner tank 15 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 26, the bottom of the bottom plate 201 is fixedly connected to a support leg 24, and the bottom of the support leg 24 is fixedly connected to a frustum rubber pad 25.
[0041] Specifically, the inner wall of the inner tank 15 is connected to a gas extraction pipe 27. Multiple valves 23 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of this pipe 27. These valves 23 control the flow of gas, ensuring that gas can be smoothly extracted from the inner tank 15. A one-way valve 22 is connected to the outer wall of the gas extraction pipe 27. The main function of this one-way valve 22 is to prevent gas backflow, ensuring that gas can only flow out of the inner tank 15 and cannot flow back in. In addition, a connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tank 15. 6. The function of this connecting block 26 is to fix the inner tank 15 to the outer tank 4 to ensure the stability of the inner tank 15. At the bottom of the base plate 201, a set of support legs 24 are fixedly connected. The main function of these support legs 24 is to support the entire device and ensure its stability during use. At the bottom of the support legs 24, a frustum rubber pad 25 is fixedly connected. The main function of this frustum rubber pad 25 is to absorb shock and prevent slippage, ensuring that the entire device will not cause safety hazards due to vibration or slippage during use.
[0042] Working principle: When the air pressure in the inner tank 15 is too high, the gas enters the back pressure valve housing 6 through the pressure reducing inlet pipe 9, compressing the piston column 8 and causing the spring 7 to contract. Then, the gas enters the outer tank 4 through the pressure reducing outlet pipe 5. When the air pressure in the inner tank 15 is normal, the piston column 8 moves downward to close the pressure reducing inlet pipe 9 due to the action of the spring 7, stopping the gas discharge. Alternatively, the pressure gauge 21 can be observed to determine whether pressure relief is needed. Rotating the knob 14 moves the threaded piston column 13 upward, allowing the gas to enter the pressure reducing outlet pipe 5 through the pressure reducing inlet pipe 9 and then enter the inner tank 15.
[0043] When the device needs to be moved, remove the latch 206. The locking rod 205 rotates downward due to gravity, straightening the moving leg 207. Rotate the locking rod 205 back to its original position and re-lock the locking rod 205 with the latch 206. At this point, the device can move. Due to the action of the connecting column 208, it can turn during movement. When it reaches the target position, the brake block 210 is used for braking. Remove the latch 206, rotate the moving leg 207 back to its original position, rotate the locking rod 205 again, and lock the locking rod 205 with the latch 206. At this time, the support leg 24 supports the device, and the movement of the device is completed.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
