Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquid transportation, and in particular to an explosion-proof tank heating device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, electronic specialty gases are widely used in the semiconductor industry, playing an important role in material preparation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes, and thin-film transistor fabrication. Electronic specialty gases are usually stored in low-temperature liquid form and transported in high-pressure tanks to save space.
[0003] Existing tank heating devices, such as the chemical storage tank heating device disclosed in utility model patent application number 202420603619.0, mainly include a chemical storage tank, a heating source, and a heat conduction pipe. A heating mechanism is provided at the lower end of the chemical storage tank, and the heating mechanism and the heating source are connected by a heat conduction pipe. An automatic valve is provided at the end of the heat conduction pipe near the heating source, and a first pressure sensor is provided at the end of the heat conduction pipe near the heating mechanism. In use, the first pressure sensor located at the front end of the heating mechanism can transmit the steam pressure entering the heating mechanism to the control center in real time, and control the opening and closing of the automatic valve through the control center to reduce the impact force of steam on the heating mechanism.
[0004] However, the electronic special gas unloading area is a potentially explosive hazardous environment. The heating device, as an electrical device and heat source, is itself a potential ignition source. Once a gas leak occurs, it can easily cause an explosion. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an explosion-proof tank heating device that eliminates the possibility of electrical components inside the cabinet becoming an ignition source by means of positive pressure explosion-proof technology, and integrates pressure, temperature, status monitoring and fault diagnosis to realize automated operation and pre-maintenance, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation and the risk of failure.
[0006] This utility model discloses an explosion-proof tank container heating device, comprising a container structure; it also includes a protection mechanism, a monitoring mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The protection mechanism is installed on the container structure and fills the container structure with nitrogen gas. The monitoring mechanism is installed on the container structure and monitors the system operation. The heating mechanism is installed on the container structure and heats the goods inside the tank container. Nitrogen gas is delivered into the container structure through the protection mechanism as a protective gas. Then, the heating mechanism is activated to heat and rotate an ethylene glycol aqueous solution, which is used to heat the goods inside the tank container. The monitoring mechanism monitors the entire heating process to ensure the safe operation of the device.
[0007] Preferably, the enclosure structure includes an explosion-proof cabinet, a first cover plate, a second cover plate, and a cable rack. The explosion-proof cabinet is installed in the working position, and the interior of the explosion-proof cabinet is provided with a cavity. The first cover plate is rotatably connected to the explosion-proof cabinet through three sets of hinges. The second cover plate is installed on the explosion-proof cabinet, and the cable rack is installed on the explosion-proof cabinet. The explosion-proof cabinet, together with the first and second cover plates, forms a closed cavity to prevent nitrogen leakage. The cable rack is used to neatly arrange the wiring, and the incoming and outgoing lines use rubber-sheathed cables.
[0008] Preferably, the explosion-proof cabinet is made of 304 stainless steel; 304 stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and can be used in humid and highly corrosive environments such as marine and chemical plants.
[0009] Preferably, the protection mechanism includes a gas source connection pipe, a positive pressure control system, an audible and visual alarm, and an exhaust valve.

The gas source connection pipe is connected to a gas source, and nitrogen enters the cavity of the explosion-proof cabinet through the gas source connection pipe. When the positive pressure control system detects that the pressure inside the cavity is below 60 bar, above 1000 bar, or the internal temperature exceeds the limit, it immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm to remind personnel to come for maintenance. In cases of ultra-low pressure, the power supply is cut off, and in cases of ultra-high pressure, the exhaust valve is opened to release the gas and ensure safety.
[0010] Preferably, the positive pressure control system also integrates pressure and temperature sensors; the pressure and temperature sensors monitor the temperature and pressure inside the cavity, and the monitored values are transmitted to the positive pressure control system for processing and display, so as to facilitate accurate judgment by the staff.
[0011] Preferably, the monitoring mechanism includes a quick-opening protective door, a gear switch, and a run reset button. The quick-opening protective door, the gear switch, and the run reset button are all installed on the first cover plate. After maintenance is completed, the gear switch is used to control the device to run again. The quick-opening protective door is electrically connected to the heating mechanism. Power is only allowed to the heating mechanism after the quick-opening protective door confirms that a safe positive pressure environment has been successfully established inside the explosion-proof cabinet, thus starting the heating cycle. For ease of operation and maintenance, the heating power of the heating mechanism can be adjusted via the gear switch.
[0012] Preferably, the quick-opening protective door also integrates a power indicator light, a pump indicator light, a heating indicator light, a pump fault light, a heating fault light, an ethylene glycol temperature controller, and a material temperature controller. The material temperature controller monitors the operation of the heating mechanism and controls the temperature of the goods inside the tank. The ethylene glycol temperature controller monitors and controls the temperature of the circulating medium, ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The system operating status is displayed by the power indicator light, pump indicator light, and heating indicator light, and the fault status is indicated by the pump fault light and the heating fault light.
[0013] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes an inlet pipe, a heater, a water pump, and a circulating water pipe.

The circulating medium, ethylene glycol aqueous solution, enters the heater through the inlet pipe for heating, and the water pump delivers the heated circulating medium, ethylene glycol aqueous solution, to the circulating water pipe to heat the liquid in the tank. Then, the ethylene glycol aqueous solution in the circulating water pipe flows back to the heater through the inlet pipe.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: nitrogen gas is delivered into the tank structure through the protection mechanism and used as a protective gas. Then, the heating mechanism is started to heat and rotate the ethylene glycol aqueous solution, which is used to heat the goods in the tank. The monitoring mechanism monitors the heating process throughout to ensure the safe operation of the device. Attached Figure Description
