Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquid cargo tank insulation and cold preservation technology, specifically relating to an insulation and cold preservation structure for a cryogenic C-type liquid cargo tank. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the insulation and cold preservation construction of cryogenic Type C liquid cargo tanks relies entirely on manual spraying of polyurethane, which presents the following problems:
[0003] 1. High cost: It requires a large investment in manpower and specialized spraying equipment, and manual operation is time-consuming, resulting in high combined costs of labor, equipment, and time.
[0004] 2. High environmental sensitivity: The spraying effect is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity. When the temperature and humidity exceed the standard, problems such as poor polyurethane curing and surface blistering are likely to occur, resulting in a low tolerance for construction errors.
[0005] 3. Redundant and time-consuming processes: The surface of polyurethane sprayed manually has poor flatness, and an additional grinding and leveling process must be added before the subsequent external protection construction, which not only increases material consumption, but also prolongs the overall construction cycle.
[0006] Therefore, we propose an insulating and cold-preserving structure for a cryogenic C-type liquid cargo tank. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insulating and cold-preserving structure for a cryogenic C-type liquid cargo tank, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] A plurality of pressure plate connecting assemblies are provided, and the plurality of pressure plate connecting assemblies are equally spaced on the outside of the liquid cargo tank body and the C-type end cap;
[0011] A prefabricated cold insulation block is disposed on the outer side of the liquid cargo tank body corresponding to the pressure plate connection assembly via a flexible insulating sealing assembly;
[0012] An outer protective plate is disposed on the outside of the prefabricated cold insulation block and the C-shaped end cap, and polyurethane foam is filled between the outer protective plate and the C-shaped end cap.

[0016] Preferably, the prefabricated cold insulation block has a stepped groove at the position corresponding to the pressure plate that is adapted to the T-shaped structure, and the prefabricated cold insulation block is pressed and fixed by the pressure plate.
[0017] Preferably, the flexible insulating sealing assembly includes a sealant and a flexible insulating block;
[0018] The flexible insulating block is disposed between the pressure plate, the prefabricated cold insulation block and the outer protective plate, and the connection between the flexible insulating block, the pressure plate and the prefabricated cold insulation block is coated with sealant.
[0019] Preferably, the outer protective plate on the outside of the C-shaped head has a hemispherical structure, and the prefabricated cold insulation block and the outer protective plate on the outside of the C-shaped head are aligned and smoothly connected.
[0020] Preferably, the polyurethane foam, the outermost prefabricated cold insulation block, and the pressure plate on the outside of the C-shaped end cap form a solidified integral structure.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. Reduce costs and improve efficiency, and decrease environmental dependence:

[0024] 2. Simplify processes and reduce material consumption:

[0026] 3. Improve the stability of insulation and cold preservation quality:
[0027] The use of prefabricated cold insulation blocks and internal cavity injection of foamed polyurethane ensures the smoothness of the insulation layer surface.

The flexible insulating block 402 serves two purposes: heat preservation and shrinkage buffer. The sealant around the flexible insulating block fixes it and reduces air convection.
[0037] The outer protective plate 5 is set on the outside of the prefabricated cold insulation block 3 and the C-shaped end cap 102, and polyurethane foam 6 is filled between the outer protective plate 5 and the C-shaped end cap 102.

The pressure plate 202 is connected to the fixing nut 201 through the threaded rod 203, and the pressure plate 202 presses down on the prefabricated cold insulation block 3. Then, a flexible insulating block 402 is filled between the pressure plate 202, the prefabricated cold insulation block 3, and the outer protective plate 5, and a coating is applied around the flexible insulating block 402.

[0046] External protection construction can be directly connected, shortening the interval between procedures and improving overall construction efficiency;
[0047] 3. Improve the stability of insulation and cold preservation quality:
[0048] Prefabricated cold insulation blocks and internal cavity filling with polyurethane foam are used to ensure the smoothness of the insulation layer surface. After the overall construction is completed, the outer surface of the liquid cargo tank is smooth and consistent, and the aesthetics are greatly improved.
