Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light hydrocarbon gasification technology, specifically to an installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gasification tank. Background Technology

[0002] As key equipment in industrial and civilian sectors, the safety monitoring of light hydrocarbon vaporization tanks is of paramount importance. Typically, various sensors, such as pressure, temperature, and level sensors, need to be installed on the vaporization tank to monitor its operating status in real time. The probes of these sensors need to extend into the tank or come into contact with the internal medium, while their transmitters or terminals are located externally.

[0003] For example, patent CN2466535Y discloses a light hydrocarbon oil reheating and vaporization device. This device includes a fuel vaporization tank with a fuel inlet pipe, an air inlet pipe, and a gas combustion pipe. Inside the fuel vaporization tank is a heat exchanger and a water heater that is circulated through a water pipe to the heat exchanger. A temperature controller is also included, connected to a temperature sensor in the fuel vaporization tank, an electric regulating valve in the water pipe, and a water pump. The sensing end of the temperature sensor is inserted into the fuel vaporization tank, while the other end is outside the tank and connected to the temperature controller via an electrical wire, enabling monitoring of the tank's internal temperature.

[0004] In the aforementioned solutions, sensors are typically installed by directly welding or threading, creating multiple independent interfaces on the tank wall. However, this installation method requires each sensor to have its own independent opening and mounting base, resulting in a large number of openings on the tank wall. This not only compromises the structural integrity of the tank and poses potential safety risks, but also increases manufacturing and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose an installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gasification tank to solve the technical problems of cumbersome sensor installation and high safety risks on the light hydrocarbon gasification tank in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an installation structure, including at least one limiting member and an installation component. The at least one limiting member is disposed on a connecting and fixing device and has a sliding groove. The installation component is slidably connected to the sliding groove of the limiting member and can be selectively fixed in the sliding groove or moved out of the sliding groove. The installation component has at least one installation cavity inside, and a plurality of installation positions for accommodating the installed component are formed in the at least one installation cavity. One side of the installation component has an opening corresponding to each of the installation positions, and the opening is used to expose the probe of the installed component accommodated in the corresponding installation position.

The fastener is configured to connect and fix the device, and the mounting member has a mounting cavity formed along the length direction of the slide groove. A plurality of mounting stations are formed in the mounting cavity along the length direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting member has an opening communicating with the mounting cavity on the side opposite to the opening, the size of the opening being configured to allow the mounted component to pass through and enter the mounting cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional dimension of the opening perpendicular to the extension direction of the chute is equal to the width of the chute opening.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly further includes a connector detachably connected to an opening side of the mounting assembly for sealing the opening.

[0012] In some embodiments, a connecting cavity is formed inside the connector, a connecting hole is provided at one end of the connector, the connecting cavity and the mounting cavity are connected through the connecting hole, and a heat dissipation vent is provided at the end of the mounting component and the connector opposite to the connecting hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fastener includes a connecting flange, which is installed on one end of the mounting member away from the connecting hole. The connecting flange is provided with a first pipe and a second pipe connected to the heat dissipation vent. The first pipe connects the mounting cavity and an external air source, and the second pipe communicates with the connecting cavity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the number of limiting members is two, the two limiting members are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and both are slidably connected to the mounting assembly.

[0015] In some embodiments, the opening of the mounting component is offset from the limiting member.

[0016] Secondly, this utility model also provides a light hydrocarbon gasification tank, including the installation structure, fixing equipment and installed components as described in any of the above.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the installation structure and light hydrocarbon gasification tank provided by this utility model, by setting at least one limiting component and installation assembly, integrates the installation points of multiple sensors into one unit, significantly reducing the number of openings on the tank wall and effectively ensuring the structural strength and sealing safety of the tank.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] To address the technical problems of cumbersome sensor installation and high safety risks on light hydrocarbon gasification tanks, this utility model provides an installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gasification tank that integrates the installation points of multiple sensors into one unit, significantly reducing the number of openings on the tank wall and effectively ensuring the structural strength and sealing safety of the tank.

[0027] It should be noted that the installation structure and light hydrocarbon gasification tank described in this utility model are used for, but not limited to, sensor installation. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the installation structure and light hydrocarbon gasification tank applied to sensor installation as an example. The principle of the installation structure and light hydrocarbon gasification tank applied to other types of components is essentially the same as that applied to sensor installation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In a first aspect, the present invention provides an installation structure, including at least one limiting member 1 and an installation component 2. The at least one limiting member 1 is used to connect and fix the device 3, and the limiting member 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12. The installation component 2 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 12 of the limiting member 1, and can be selectively fixed in the sliding groove 12 or moved out of the sliding groove 12. The installation component 2 is provided with at least one installation cavity 201 inside, and a plurality of installation positions for accommodating the installed component 4 are formed in the at least one installation cavity 201. An opening 202 corresponding to each installation position is provided on one side of the installation component 2.

[0029] In this device, the limiting member 1 is configured on the connecting and fixing device 3, and its inner side is provided with a sliding groove 12. The mounting component 2 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 12 of the limiting member 1, so that the mounting component 2 can be fixed on the gasification tank by the limiting member 1. At the same time, the mounting component 2 is provided with at least one mounting cavity 201, and multiple mounting positions for accommodating the mounted component 4 are formed in the mounting cavity 201. Each mounting position can accommodate a sensor. The sensor probe is exposed through the opening 202, which can achieve contact or monitoring with the medium inside the tank. This design reduces the number of openings 202 on the tank wall, maintains the structural integrity of the tank, and reduces safety risks. In addition, the mounting component 2 and the limiting member 1 are slidably connected and can be selectively fixed or removed, so that the entire sensor module can be easily installed or removed as a whole along the sliding groove 12, realizing rapid batch installation, maintenance or replacement, simplifying the sensor installation and disassembly process, and reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixed device 3 is a vaporization tank, and the installed component 4 is a temperature sensor or pressure sensor, used to monitor the temperature and pressure changes inside the tank in real time.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4In some possible embodiments, the mounting assembly 2 includes a fastener 21 and a mounting member 22 connected to each other. The fastener 21 is configured to connect and fix the device 3, and the mounting member 22 is provided with a mounting cavity 201 and mounting positions. Specifically, a mounting cavity 201 is provided on one side of the mounting plate along the length direction of the slide groove 12, and a plurality of mounting positions are formed in the mounting cavity 201 along the length direction. The side of the mounting member 22 away from the hole 202 is provided with an opening communicating with the mounting cavity 201. The size of the opening is larger than the size of the component 4 to be mounted, allowing the component 4 to pass through and enter the mounting cavity 201. The sensor can be placed in the mounting cavity 201 through the opening and fixed to the corresponding mounting position by bolts or other means.

[0032] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the opening is formed by the mounting cavity 201 extending through one side of the mounting member 22, such that the cross-sectional dimension of the opening in the direction perpendicular to the extension of the slide groove 12 is equal to the width of the groove 12, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the sensor.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, the mounting assembly 2 further includes a connector 23. The mounting component 22 is a frame-shaped structure with one open end, while the connector 23 is a box-shaped structure, detachably connected to the open side of the mounting component 22 by bolts to seal the opening. After the connector 23 is installed on one side of the mounting component 22, it seals the opening, thus sealing the mounting cavity 201. The opening 202 of the mounting cavity 201 is closed by the installed sensor. If no sensor is installed at the opening 202, other sealing elements can be used to close it, ensuring the sealing performance of the mounting assembly 2 and preventing the medium inside the tank from entering the interior of the mounting component 22.

[0034] Furthermore, both the connector 23 and the mounting component 22 are made of heat-insulating material to effectively isolate the high-temperature medium inside the tank from the influence of the sensor inside the mounting component 2.

[0035] For convenient heat dissipation of the sensor inside the mounting cavity 201, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, a connecting cavity 231 is formed inside the connector 23, and a connecting hole 232 is provided at one end of the connector 23. The connecting cavity 231 and the mounting cavity 201 are connected through the connecting hole 232. A heat dissipation vent is provided at the end of the mounting member 22 away from the connecting hole 232. The fixing member 21 includes a connecting flange 211, which is installed at the end of the mounting member 22 away from the connecting hole 232. A first pipe 212 and a second pipe 213 connected to the heat dissipation vent are provided on the connecting flange 211. The first pipe 212 connects the mounting cavity 201 and an external air source, and the second pipe 213 is connected to the connecting cavity 231.

[0036] When heat dissipation is required, an external air source supplies cooling gas to the mounting cavity 201 through the first pipe 212. The cooling gas flows within the mounting cavity 201, carrying away the heat from the sensor. It then enters the connecting cavity 231 through the connecting hole 232 and finally exits through the second pipe 213 and the heat dissipation vent, facilitating unified management and heat dissipation of the sensor. Furthermore, the connecting flange 211 is used to connect to the fixed device 3. It features a standard flange connection surface, ensuring a secure connection to the vaporization tank or other fixed device 3, while also facilitating disassembly and reinstallation. The connecting flange 211 has bolt holes, allowing the fastener 21 to be tightly connected to the vaporization tank or other fixed device 3 using bolts, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire mounting structure.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the limiting member 1 is a limiting frame 11, and the number of these two limiting frames 11 is set to be parallel and spaced apart, and both are slidably connected to the mounting assembly 2. The mounting axes of the two limiting frames 11 coincide and are parallel to the height direction of the light hydrocarbon gasification tank. This causes the mounting cavity 201 formed by the mounting assembly 2 to extend in the height direction of the light hydrocarbon gasification tank, and the mounting positions formed within the mounting cavity 201 are arranged along the height direction of the light hydrocarbon gasification tank, allowing multiple sensors to be distributed along the height direction of the gasification tank, facilitating the monitoring of media at different heights within the tank. Simultaneously, the parallel and spaced arrangement of the two limiting frames 11 enhances the stability of the mounting assembly 2 within the slide groove 12, preventing it from shaking or shifting during installation or use, further improving the reliability and safety of the mounting structure.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the opening 202 of the mounting component 2 is offset from the limiting frame 11 to avoid the limiting frame 11 affecting the exposure and monitoring of the sensor probe within the opening 202. In addition, the shape and size of the opening 202 match the probe of the mounted component 4, and sealing rings are provided between the wall of one side of the opening 202 and the sensor body, as well as between the mounting component and the connector, to ensure that the probe can be accurately and stably exposed inside the tank without the risk of media leakage.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 Secondly, this utility model also provides a light hydrocarbon gasification tank, including an installation structure as described in any of the above, a fixing device 3, and a mounted component 4. The fixing device 3 is a gasification tank, and the mounted component 4 is a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor. A limiting frame 11 is fixedly installed inside the gasification tank.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, a flange connection port 31 is provided at the top of the gasification tank. The mounting component 2 can be inserted into the gasification tank through the flange connection port 31. The flange connection port 31 corresponds to the position of the limiting frame 11. When the mounting component 22 is inserted from the flange connection port 31, it can slide smoothly along the slide groove 12 of the limiting frame 11 to the predetermined position. At this time, the connecting flange 211 is connected to the connecting flange 211 at the top of the gasification tank and can be fixed by bolts or other fasteners to ensure that the mounting component 2 is securely installed inside the gasification tank.

[0041] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: During installation, the sensor is first placed in the corresponding installation position within the installation cavity 201 through the opening and fixed with bolts. Then, the connector 23 is installed on one side of the mounting component 22 and fixed to the mounting component 22 with bolts. Next, the mounting component 22 is slid along the sliding groove 12 of the limiting frame 11 to the predetermined position until the connecting flange 211 aligns with the connecting flange 211 at the top of the gasification tank. Finally, the connecting flange 211 is fixed to the connecting flange 211 at the top of the gasification tank with bolts.

[0042] When the sensor needs to dissipate heat, the external air source is connected to the first pipe 212 to provide cooling gas into the mounting cavity 201. The cooling gas circulates in the mounting cavity 201, carrying away the heat generated by the sensor. Then it enters the connecting cavity 231 through the connecting hole 232, and finally exits through the second pipe 213 and the heat dissipation port.

[0043] When it is necessary to replace or maintain the sensor, simply loosen the bolts on the connecting flange 211 and slide the mounting assembly 2 along the slide groove 12 of the limit frame 11 to an easy-to-operate position to perform the sensor replacement or maintenance work.

[0044] This invention integrates multiple sensor mounting points into a single unit by incorporating at least one limiting component 1 and a mounting assembly 2, significantly reducing the number of openings 202 on the tank wall and effectively ensuring the structural strength and sealing safety of the tank. Simultaneously, this design allows all sensors to be easily installed or removed as a single module, greatly simplifying installation, maintenance, and replacement processes and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the multi-position design of the mounting assembly 2 offers flexibility and scalability, accommodating different types of sensors as needed. It adapts to future functional adjustments and expansions without altering the tank structure. When additional monitoring points are required, sensors can simply be installed within existing mounting assemblies 2 with available positions, without any modifications to the tank, demonstrating strong adaptability.
