DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0047] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] It should also be understood that although the present application has been described with reference to certain specific examples, those skilled in the art will be able to implement many other equivalent forms of the present application that have the features of the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined thereby.

[0050] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments described are merely examples of the present application and may be implemented in a variety of ways. Familiar and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to clarify the true intent based on the user's historical operations and to avoid obscuring the present application with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details described herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in a variety of ways with substantially any appropriate detailed structure.

[0052] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in a further embodiment," or "in other embodiments," which may all refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0053] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a fluid impact prevention device, as shown in Figures 1 to 21. The fluid impact prevention device is provided at the bottom opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 to guide the liquid injected through the injection pipe 13. The injection pipe 13 is vertically arranged near the bottom of the storage tank. The storage tank is specifically used to store liquid natural gas, ethane gas, and other gases. It can be used as a cryogenic liquid cargo storage tank for liquid cargo transport ships or as a cryogenic liquid cargo storage tank for other ships using cryogenic liquid cargo as fuel. The fluid impact prevention device includes:

[0054] A bottom plate 41 is provided below the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 and has a guide surface formed on a side facing the opening 40. The bottom plate 41 can protect the storage tank from the fluid in the injection tank and falling objects. The bottom plate 41 is specifically provided below the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 and is spaced apart from the opening 40.

[0055] Two parallel side walls 42, each of which is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 41 at its lower end, and each of which is fixedly connected to the outer side wall 42 at the bottom end of the injection pipe 13 at its upper end via a horizontal fixing plate 44. The side walls 42 serve as the main support for the fluid impact prevention device.

[0056] Two surrounding walls 43 are respectively disposed between the two side walls 42. The two surrounding walls 43 are arranged parallel to and perpendicular to the two side walls 42, and are connected to the two side walls 42 to form a whole, thereby enclosing a rectangular surrounding wall 43 structure;

[0057] Among them, at least one wall of the rectangular wall structure formed by the two side walls 42 and the two surrounding walls 43 is provided with a water hole, and the number of walls provided with water holes in the rectangular wall structure, as well as the number and opening size of the water holes are determined based on the flow rate and flow direction of the fluid after being diverted by the guide plate, that is, the flow rate and flow direction of the fluid diversion can be controlled by whether water holes are provided on the side wall 42 or the surrounding wall 43, and by adjusting the opening size of the water holes, so that the fluid injected into the storage tank is deflected and preferably injected in the direction opposite to the equipment component to be protected. At the same time, the sum of the opening cross-sectional areas of all the water holes is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13.

[0058] In order to be able to guide the injected liquid more quickly, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom plate 41 is a spherical panel, and the raised side of the spherical panel faces the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 as a guide surface, the center of the spherical panel is on the vertical axis of the injection pipe 13, and the bottom plate 41 is rectangular in its top view, and its area is larger than the area of ​​the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13. Compared with the bottom plate 41 in the horizontal plane, the bottom plate 41 of the spherical panel can make the vertically injected liquid produce a lateral velocity component, thereby realizing uniform and rapid diversion of the fluid to the surroundings, and can effectively reduce the impact load of the injected liquid on the bottom plate 41, thereby protecting the anti-fluid impact device.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the radius of the spherical panel is 2 to 4 times the radius of the injection pipe 13. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the side wall 42 is a flat plate. If a first water flow hole 45 is provided on the side wall 42, the first water flow hole 45 is provided on the side of the side wall 42 close to the bottom plate 41 and is centrally disposed. The upper portion of the first water flow hole 45 is provided in a semi-circular shape and is disposed on the ground to achieve diversion of the injected liquid and facilitate rapid discharge of the fluid.

[0060] At the same time, in this embodiment, both side edges of the surrounding wall 43 are connected to the side walls 42, and the bottom edge of the surrounding wall 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 41; if a second water flow hole 46 is opened on the surrounding wall 43, the second water flow hole 46 is opened on the side of the surrounding wall 43 close to the bottom plate 41 and is centrally arranged, and is semi-circular, and is arranged on the ground to achieve diversion of the injected liquid and help to quickly discharge the fluid.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the spherical panel is further provided with a conical protrusion in the middle of the side facing the injection pipe 13, so as to realize the diversion and diversion of the injected liquid through the conical protrusion; if no water hole is provided on at least one wall of the rectangular wall structure formed by the side wall 42 and the surrounding wall 43, then the protrusion provided on the guide surface formed on the side of the opening 40 of the bottom plate 41 facing the injection pipe 13 is provided close to the wall side of the rectangular wall structure where no water hole is provided, and a diversion groove is formed along the protrusion in the direction of the water hole, and the number of the diversion grooves is the same as the number of the water holes provided.

[0062] Specifically, the surrounding wall 43 can be in the form of a semi-enclosing wall, that is, a gap with a height dimension of 50mm-200mm is formed between the upper edge of the surrounding wall 43 and the edge of the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13, so that when the liquid is injected quickly and the liquid cannot flow out quickly through the set water hole, the liquid can flow out from the upper gap of the surrounding wall 43 to avoid clogging the injection pipe 13.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a horizontal fixing plate 44 is located at the top of the side wall 42, and its side facing the injection pipe 13 is an arc-shaped side edge 47. The radius of the arc-shaped side edge 47 is the same as the outer radius of the injection pipe 13, and the horizontal fixing plate 44 is fixed to the outer wall of the injection pipe 13 by welding. The horizontal plane where the horizontal fixing plate 44 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 is located, and the vertical spacing is 30mm-100mm, thereby facilitating welding of the horizontal fixing plate 44. At the same time, the horizontal fixing plates 44 on the side walls 42 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the injection pipe 13 to effectively fix the fluid impact prevention device to the lower end of the injection pipe 13, prevent the fluid impact prevention device from twisting, and ensure the stability of the device.

[0064] Furthermore, in order to further increase the connection strength between the horizontal fixing plate 44 and the injection pipe 13, the horizontal fixing plate 44 adopts a corner reduction structure on both sides close to the surrounding wall 43, so as to increase the length of the arc-shaped side edge 47 on the side where the horizontal fixing plate 44 is fixedly connected to the injection pipe within a limited space. At the same time, it can also ensure that the length of the side edge where the horizontal fixing plate 44 is fixedly connected to the side wall 42 remains unchanged.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the angle between the two ends of the arc-shaped side edge 47 of each horizontal fixing plate 44 and the line connecting the vertical axis of the injection pipe 13 is 90 degrees to 110 degrees, that is, the angle of the arc-shaped side edge 47 of the horizontal fixing plate 44 around the axis of the injection pipe 13 is 90 degrees to 110 degrees.

[0066] In this embodiment, the distance between the bottom plate 41 and the horizontal fixing plate 44 is 200 mm-400 mm, and the opening 40 of the injection pipe 13 is located between the bottom plate 41 and the horizontal fixing plate 44 .

[0067] In addition, in the above embodiment, the injection pipe 13 is provided on the pump tower. As shown in Figures 6 to 12, the pump tower further includes: a first unloading pipe 11, a second unloading pipe 12, and an emergency unloading pipe 14 arranged vertically, wherein the first unloading pipe 11, the second unloading pipe 12, the injection pipe 13, and the emergency unloading pipe 14 are fixedly connected in sequence by parallel supports to form a prism structure with a quadrilateral cross-section. The four vertical pipes, namely, the first unloading pipe 11, the second unloading pipe 12, the injection pipe 13, and the emergency unloading pipe 14, form a quadrilateral cross-section main frame. That is, the four vertical pipes are connected to the parallel supports to define a quadrilateral cross-section prism.

[0068] At the same time, the first unloading pipe 11 is provided with a first elbow 21 at the middle and lower part in the height direction, and the first elbow 21 is in the plane where the first unloading pipe 11 and the emergency unloading pipe 14 are located; the second unloading pipe 12 is provided with a second elbow 22 at the middle and lower part in the height direction, and the second elbow 22 is in the plane where the second unloading pipe 12 and the emergency unloading pipe 14 are located; the injection pipe 13 is provided with a third elbow 23 at the middle and lower part in the height direction, and the third elbow 23 is in the plane where the injection pipe 13 and the emergency unloading pipe 14 are located; wherein, the portion of the first unloading pipe 11 below the first elbow 21, the portion of the second unloading pipe 12 below the second elbow 22, the portion of the injection pipe 13 below the third elbow 23 and the emergency unloading pipe 14 are located. The area of ​​the quadrilateral cross-section formed by the cargo pipe 14 is 2 to 3 times the area of ​​the quadrilateral cross-section formed by the upper part of the first unloading pipe 11, the upper part of the second unloading pipe 12, the upper part of the injection pipe 13 and the upper part of the emergency unloading pipe 14, so that space for arranging relevant equipment can be formed between the first unloading pipe 11, the second unloading pipe 12, the injection pipe 13 and the emergency unloading pipe 14, that is, through the first elbow 21, the second elbow 22 and the third elbow 23, the space formed by the first unloading pipe 11, the second unloading pipe 12, the injection pipe 13 and the emergency unloading pipe 14 in the lower area of ​​the pump tower is increased, thereby facilitating the installation and arrangement of equipment such as the unloading pump 18, and at the same time, the pump tower has a variable cross-section structure.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the parallel supports are multi-layered, and each layer of parallel supports is connected to four vertically arranged risers to form an annular support on the same horizontal plane, and a diagonal brace 17 is provided between two adjacent layers of parallel supports to resist the torque of the pump tower. By arranging horizontal supports 16 and diagonal braces 17 in the pump tower frame structure, the pump tower is connected into an integral truss structure, thereby effectively resisting the sloshing load and improving the stiffness and torsional resistance of the pump tower.

[0070] Furthermore, since the low-temperature liquid cargo is injected into the storage tank through the injection pipe 13, there may be a temperature difference between the injection pipe 13 and other pump tower components, resulting in asynchronous thermal expansion and contraction. If the injection pipe 13 is connected to the horizontal support 16 and the diagonal support 17 by welding, it will cause greater temperature stress and cause structural safety risks. The injection pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the parallel support by the pipe clamp component 30. The pipe clamp component 30 can move the injection pipe 13 in the vertical direction and limit the movement of the injection pipe 13 in the horizontal direction. The pipe clamp component 30 can There are multiple ones, that is, the injection pipe 13 is connected to a layer of parallel supports through at least one pipe clamp component 30, each pipe clamp component 30 includes a pipe clamp sleeve 33 and a pipe clamp pad 32, wherein the pipe clamp sleeve 33 is concentrically arranged with the injection pipe 13, and at least two pipe clamp pads 32 fixedly connected to the pipe clamp sleeve 33 are provided between the pipe clamp sleeve 33 and the injection pipe 13, so that a distance of at least 10 mm is formed between the pipe clamp sleeve 33 and the injection pipe 13, and a connecting piece is provided between the pipe clamp pad 32 and the pipe clamp sleeve 33 for fixed connection, and the connecting piece can be a bolt or a rivet, etc.

[0071] In this embodiment, the injection pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the parallel support through the pipe clamp sleeve 33, and at least one pipe clamp connection elbow plate 31 is provided at the connection between the pipe clamp sleeve 33 and the parallel support. Specifically, one pipe clamp sleeve 33 is fixedly connected to two horizontal supports 16 in the same layer at the same time. Then, a large-sized pipe clamp connection elbow plate 31 can be set between the two horizontal supports 16, and the large-sized pipe clamp connection elbow plate 31 is fixedly connected to the two horizontal supports 16 and the pipe clamp sleeve 33 at the same time. On the outside of the two horizontal supports 16 away from the large-sized pipe clamp connection elbow plate 31, a smaller-sized pipe clamp connection elbow plate 31 is respectively provided to fix the corresponding horizontal support 16 and the pipe clamp sleeve 33 respectively, thereby improving the stiffness of the connection position between the horizontal support 16 and the pipe clamp sleeve 33 and reducing local stress concentration.

[0072] In addition, in the above embodiment, the position of the pump tower is limited by the pump tower base 50, and the lower end of the pump tower base 50 is fixed to the bottom of the storage tank, and the upper end passes through the pump tower bottom plate 15 and is connected to the pump tower bottom plate 15 through the top block 51 to limit the horizontal displacement of the pump tower. As shown in Figures 13 to 21, the pump tower base 50 also includes a cylinder 60, the lower part of the cylinder 60 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cryogenic liquid cargo storage tank, the middle part of the cylinder 61 is provided with support piles symmetrically arranged about the cylinder 61, the upper part of the cylinder 61 is provided with a connecting panel 63 on the outside of the cylinder 61, and the top block 51 is multiple and symmetrically arranged about the center line of the cylinder 61 in the vertical direction.
