Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of methanol filling structures, and more specifically, to a methanol filling structure that prevents methanol leakage. Background Technology
[0002] Methanol fuel is a new type of clean fuel made by blending industrial methanol or fuel methanol with denatured alcohol additives, or with existing national standard gasoline and diesel, in a certain volume using a strict scientific process. It can replace gasoline and diesel and be used in various motor vehicles and stoves. Because the methanol storage tanks at methanol refueling stations are limited, it is necessary to refuel the methanol at the refueling stations frequently. Usually, methanol is transported to the site by vehicle and then refueled into the storage tanks.
[0003] In existing technologies, when methanol needs to be added to the storage tank, the residual methanol in the main pipeline cannot be observed. Some methanol fuel may remain on the inside of the vertical part of the injection pipe and may even seep into the inlet pipe, causing methanol leakage, which poses a certain safety hazard. Moreover, after the filling is completed, the injection pipeline connecting the external tanker to the metering pump needs to be disconnected. At this time, the liquid remaining in the injection pipeline may cause secondary splashing, posing a risk of workers being burned by methanol solution, resulting in low safety. Utility Model Content

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner section extends to the bottom of the tank cavity, and the bottom of the inner section branches into multiple branch tubes. The outer ends of the multiple branch tubes are arranged around the bottom of the inner section at intervals, and the inner ends of the multiple branch tubes converge and communicate with the bottom of the inner section.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the bifurcated tube is provided with multiple peripheral holes.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the tank is provided with an injection head for injecting liquid methanol into the tank cavity. The injection head is equipped with a valve, which is used to open or close the injection head.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-2The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] A methanol refueling structure to prevent methanol leakage includes a tank body 100, the interior of which has a cavity 101 for storing liquid methanol. The tank body 100 is provided with a pipe, and the tank body 100 has an internal section 201 extending into the cavity 101 and an external section 202 exposed on the tank body 100. The external section 202 is connected to a pump body 800, and a connecting pipe 400 is connected to the pump body 800. The connecting pipe 400 has a longitudinally arranged longitudinal section 402, and the connecting pipe 400 is connected to a delivery hose 500 for delivering liquid methanol to a tank truck. The inner wall of the longitudinal section 402 is provided with a horizontally arranged upper protruding ring 602, which is arranged around the longitudinal section 402 in the circumference and forms a central hole 606; the inner wall of the longitudinal section 402 is provided with a horizontally arranged lower protruding ring 601, which is arranged around the longitudinal section 402 in the circumference and forms a tapered hole 604. Along the tapered hole 604 from bottom to top, the diameter of the tapered hole 604 gradually increases. The tapered hole 604 and the middle hole 606 are arranged at intervals, with an interval region 605. A sealing head 607 is provided in the tapered hole 604. The sealing head 607 is connected to a spring 603. The upper end of the spring 603 is fixedly connected to the upper convex ring 602, and the lower end of the spring 603 is fixedly connected to the sealing head 607. When the pump body 800 is in working condition, when the pump body 800 draws liquid methanol from the tank cavity 101 through the passage, the liquid methanol squeezes the plug head 607 to move upward, the plug head 607 disengages from the inner wall of the conical hole 604, the spring 603 is compressed upward, and the longitudinal section 402 is in a connected state. When the pump body 800 is in the stopped state, the spring 603 drives the sealing head 607 to move downward, and the sealing head 607 abuts against the inner wall of the tapered hole 604, and the longitudinal section 402 is in the isolated state.
[0022] The methanol refueling structure described above, designed to prevent methanol leakage, integrates the connecting pipe 400, spring 603, and pump body 800 into an automatic shut-off valve. When the pump body 800 starts, the longitudinal section 402 is in a connected state, and the sealing head 607 is pushed open by the pressure of the flowing methanol. When the pump body 800 stops, the longitudinal section 402 is in a disconnected state, and the spring 603 drives the sealing head 607 to fit tightly against the conical hole 604. This achieves a rapid-response, reliable, and automatic on / off control, ensuring smooth methanol flow within the tank 100 while preventing methanol leakage and backflow during shutdown, significantly improving the safety of the methanol refueling structure.
[0023] In this embodiment, when the longitudinal section 402 is in the isolated state, the spring 603 is in the pre-compressed state. By limiting the spring 603 to the pre-compressed state in the isolated state, an initial spring force can be provided to the plug head 607 when the pump body 800 is stopped. This ensures that the valve 301 can achieve instantaneous and rapid closure without delay when the pump body 800 stops, and also allows the plug head 607 and the conical hole 604 to fit tightly together, preventing methanol leakage.
[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 400 has a horizontally arranged section 401, which connects to the delivery hose 500. The horizontal section 401 ensures a smooth transition of the delivery hose 500 from vertical to horizontal, facilitating the connection between the connecting pipe 400 and the delivery hose 500. More importantly, it effectively solves the problems of sharp bends and undue stress in the delivery hose 500, thereby extending the service life of the delivery hose 500, ensuring smooth methanol delivery, and improving the operational convenience of the methanol refueling structure.
[0025] In this embodiment, the horizontal section 401 is provided with an inclined pipe hole 900, which is inclined upwards along the longitudinal section 402 to the delivery hose 500. By arranging the pipe hole 900 of the horizontal section 401 upwards towards the delivery hose 500, the delivery hose 500 has a self-draining function for residual liquid by utilizing the principle of gravity. This effectively drains residual methanol, thereby reducing methanol leakage and evaporation when disassembling the delivery hose 500, and significantly improving the safety and environmental friendliness of the operation process.
[0026] In this embodiment, the pipe hole 900 penetrates the inner end of the horizontal section 401 to form an inner end opening. The inner end of the horizontal section 401 is connected to the longitudinal section 402, and the inner end opening is connected to the longitudinal section 402. The pipe hole 900 penetrates the outer end of the horizontal section 401 to form an outer end opening 901, and the outer end opening 901 is connected to the delivery hose 500. An isolation ring 701 is protruding on the inner sidewall of the pipe hole 900, and the isolation ring 701 is arranged around the circumference of the pipe hole 900. A circumferential isolation ring 701 is installed inside the horizontal section 401 bore 900, which is equivalent to creating a physical barrier inside the horizontal section 401. This not only stabilizes the methanol delivery process by disrupting the flow field and promoting gas-liquid mixing, but more importantly, it effectively blocks flames and pressure waves that may be transmitted back from the delivery hose 500 end, thereby improving the backfire prevention safety level and intrinsic safety of the methanol refueling structure under extreme conditions.
[0027] In this embodiment, multiple isolation rings 701 protrude from the inner wall of the orifice 900, and these isolation rings 701 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the orifice 900. By setting multiple axially spaced isolation rings 701, it is possible to ensure that in the event of an accident during the filling process, the isolation rings 701 can form a multi-level defense, gradually weakening the intensity of the flame. In this way, a multi-level, cooperative protection and optimization structure is constructed within the horizontal section 401, enhancing the safety redundancy and reliability of blocking flame backflow, and further optimizing the flow field and eliminating gas resistance through continuous perturbation.
[0028] In this embodiment, an outer end ring 702 protrudes from the outer end opening 901. The outer end ring 702 is arranged around the circumference of the pipe hole 900. The outer end of the outer end ring 702 is connected to the outer end of the horizontal section 401. The inner end of the outer end ring 702 extends toward the middle of the outer end opening 901 to reduce the size of the outer end opening 901. An inwardly extending outer end ring 702 is provided at the outer end opening 901 of the horizontal section 401. This prevents the delivery hose 500 from accidentally detaching under pressure or external force, ensures the connection between the delivery hose 500 and the horizontal section 401, provides guidance for quick and accurate docking, and enhances the overall sealing performance. Simultaneously, by setting the outer end ring 702, the outer end opening 901 is reduced, which significantly reduces methanol leakage.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the inner section 201 extends to the bottom of the tank cavity 101. The bottom of the inner section 201 branches into multiple branch pipes 203. The outer ends of the multiple branch pipes 203 are arranged at intervals around the bottom of the inner section 201, and the inner ends of the multiple branch pipes 203 converge and communicate with the bottom of the inner section 201. By branching the bottom of the inner section 201 into multiple surrounding branch pipes 203, the inner section 201 covers a larger area of the bottom of the tank cavity 101, thereby enabling methanol to be transported out from the inner section 201 from all directions, reducing methanol residue and significantly improving methanol utilization.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the branch pipe 203 is provided with multiple peripheral holes 204. By providing multiple peripheral holes 204 on the outer periphery of the branch pipe 203, more methanol is allowed to enter through the peripheral holes, avoiding methanol residue in the tank 100. This not only almost completely empties the residual liquid in the tank and greatly improves the utilization rate of methanol, but also prevents suction port blockage by providing redundant paths. Furthermore, with a lower local flow velocity, the generation of eddies and the agitation of sediment are further suppressed, ensuring the stable operation of the pump 800 in the final stage of methanol delivery.
[0031] In this embodiment, the top of the tank 100 is provided with an injection head 300 for injecting liquid methanol into the tank cavity 101. The injection head 300 is equipped with a valve 301, which is used to open or close the injection head 300. The injection head 300 with valve 301 not only establishes an injection channel for the methanol injection structure, but also separates the injection and transportation functions of the methanol injection structure.
[0032] In addition, by controlling the opening and closing of valve 301, methanol is difficult to leak out of tank 100 and can isolate external contaminants, thereby ensuring the sealing of tank cavity 101 during standing and transportation, and improving the overall safety of storage and operation.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
