Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank sealing technology, and in particular to a tank sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] As core equipment for storing materials in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and food, the safety and sealing performance of storage tanks have always been a key focus of industry attention. Traditional storage tanks have revealed numerous problems during long-term use: On the one hand, the sealing structures at the inlet and outlet pipe connections of storage tanks are simple, often using a single gasket seal. Under pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, and material corrosion during material transport, the seals are prone to failure, leading to material leakage. This not only wastes resources but may also cause environmental pollution and safety accidents. On the other hand, some storage tanks lack effective leak detection methods, meaning leaks cannot be detected in time, often only becoming apparent when the leakage is substantial, increasing the difficulty and cost of accident handling.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional storage tanks rely heavily on rigid flange and bolt connections for piping, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and requiring specialized tools and significant manpower. When sealing components are damaged and need replacement, the tank often needs to be shut down for an extended period, impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, some storage tanks lack adequate protective measures, allowing dust and impurities from the external environment to easily enter the connection points, accelerating seal wear, shortening equipment lifespan, and rendering related sealing auxiliary equipment inoperable without external power, thus limiting the tank's use in certain special environments.

[0004] With the increasing demands for safety, reliability, and convenience of storage tanks in industrial production, we propose a storage tank sealing device. Utility Model Content
