The present disclosure provides a cryogenic storage tank, which is disposed in various tank regions, and is used for storing various cryogenic Liquefied gases, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and the like.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 6, the cryogenic storage tank includes an outer tank 1, an inner tank 2 and a support assembly 3. The inner tank 2 is arranged in the outer tank 1, and an interlayer 5 is formed between the inner tank and the outer tank 1. Supporting component 3 is located in intermediate layer 5 between outer jar 1 and inner tank 2, and its axial direction along this cryrogenic storage tank sets up, and one end is fixed in on inner tank 2, and the other end is fixed in on outer jar 1.
Wherein, outer jar 1 includes outer barrel 11 and locates outer head 12 at outer barrel 11 both ends, and inner tank 2 includes interior barrel 21 and locates the interior head 22 at interior barrel 21 both ends. In the present disclosure, the support member 3 is connected at one end to the inner vessel 2 and at the other end to the outer cylinder 11 or the outer closure 12.
It is understood that the support assembly 3 may include only the pulling tape 31 in the present disclosure, and both ends of the pulling tape 31 are connected to the outer side of the inner tank 2 and the inner side of the outer tank 1, respectively; as shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, the supporting member 3 may also include a pull belt 31 and connecting members disposed at two ends of the pull belt 31, wherein the connecting member at one end is welded to the outer tank 1, and the connecting member at the other end is welded to the inner cylinder 21.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the supporting member 3 includes a pulling strap 31 and connecting members disposed at two ends of the pulling strap 31, wherein the connecting member at one end is welded to the inner side surface of the outer cylinder 11, and the connecting member at the other end is welded to the outer side surface of the inner cylinder 21.
In the present embodiment, the connecting members at the two ends of the pulling belt 31 are respectively a reinforcing box 32 shown in fig. 3, a backing plate 33 shown in fig. 5, a reinforcing ring 34 shown in fig. 4, and an intersecting member 35 shown in fig. 9.
As shown in fig. 3, the reinforcing box 32 includes a reinforcing plate 321 and two reinforcing sidewalls 322 disposed on the periphery of the reinforcing plate 321, and the reinforcing sidewalls 322 extend from the reinforcing plate 321 to the inner cylinder 21 and are fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the inner cylinder 21. The side of the reinforcing plate 321 facing away from the inner cylinder 21 is fixedly connected with the pull belt 31. As shown in fig. 5, one side surface of the pad 33 is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the outer tube 11, and the other side surface is bonded and fixed to the pull tape 31.
In this embodiment, the drawstring 31 is connected with the inner cylinder 21 through the reinforcing box 32, and the reinforcing box 32 is connected with the inner cylinder 21 through the side edge of the reinforcing side wall 322, so that the contact area between the supporting component 3 and the inner tank 2 is effectively reduced, that is, the heat transfer area between the supporting component 3 and the inner tank 2 is reduced, the heat transfer quantity of the whole supporting component 3 can be effectively reduced, and the heat insulation performance of the whole cryogenic storage tank is further improved. In order to further avoid that the support member 3 transfers excessive heat to the outer vessel 1, the pad 33, which is attached to the outer cylinder 11, may be replaced with a reinforcing box 32.
Meanwhile, it can be understood that the reinforcing box 32 in this embodiment may also be replaced by a reinforcing ring 34 as shown in fig. 4, one end of the reinforcing ring 34 is fixedly connected with the inner cylinder 21, and the other end is fixedly connected with the pull belt 31. The contact surface between the reinforcing ring 34 and the inner cylinder 21 as well as the pull belt 31 is an annular end surface, and the contact surface is the same as the side edge of the reinforcing side plate 322 of the reinforcing box 32, so that the contact area is smaller, namely the heat transfer area is smaller, the heat transfer quantity of the whole supporting assembly 3 can be effectively reduced, and the heat insulation performance of the whole cryogenic storage tank is further improved. Similarly, in order to further avoid excessive heat transfer from the support member 3 to the outer tank 1, the backing plate 33 attached to the outer cylinder 11 may be replaced by a reinforcing ring 34.
Referring to fig. 13, in an embodiment, the pull tab 31 includes a main body portion 314 and connection portions 315 disposed at two ends of the main body portion 314, and a transition portion 316 is formed between the main body portion 314 and the connection portions 315 in a slope transition manner. The width of the connecting portion 315 is larger than that of the body portion 314, and the connecting portions 315 at both ends are connected to the reinforcing box 32 fixed to the inner cylinder 21 and the pad 33 fixed to the outer cylinder 11, respectively. One end of the transition portion 316 interfaces with the main body portion 314, and the width of the transition portion 316 is equal to the width of the main body portion 314. The other end of the transition part 316 is butted with the connecting part 315 at the same end, the width of the end of the transition part 316 is equal to that of the connecting part 315, and the width of the transition part 316 is gradually increased from the main body part 314 to the connecting part 315, so that the smoothness of transition from the main body part 314 to the connecting part 315 is ensured, and the stress concentration at the connecting part is reduced. The width of the connecting part 315 of the pull belt 31 is greater than that of the main body part 314 thereof, which is beneficial to enhancing the connecting strength between the pull belt 31 and the connecting parts at the two ends and ensuring the stability of the connecting structure of the support component 3. It is understood that the pull tape 31 in the above-described embodiment may also be a pull tape 31 having an equal width everywhere as shown in fig. 12.
Referring to fig. 6, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the supporting member 3 only includes a pulling strip 31, one end of the pulling strip 31 is welded to the outer side of the inner cylinder 21, and the other end is welded to the inner side of the outer sealing head 12.
Referring to fig. 14, in the present embodiment, the pull strap 31 includes a first wing 311, a second wing 312 perpendicular to each other, and a transition twisted rib 313 disposed between the first wing 311 and the second wing 312. The transition twisted rib 313 is formed by twisting a flat plate in a twist shape, two ends of the flat plate are perpendicular to each other, and a center line of the first wing plate 311 and a center line of the second wing plate 312, which are disposed at the two ends, are located on the same straight line.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the end of the first wing 311 is welded to the outer surface of the inner cylinder 21 vertically, that is, the first wing 311 is disposed along the radial direction of the inner cylinder 21. The end of the second wing plate 312 abuts the outer cap 12 and is welded to the outer cap 12.
In this embodiment, the transition twisted rib 313 between the first wing plate 311 and the second wing plate 312 can effectively avoid the dislocation and deformation caused by uneven stress between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 1. And the contact surface of the drawstring 31 with the inner cylinder 21 and the outer tank 1 is the end of the first wing plate 311 and one side of the second wing plate 312, so the contact area is small, the heat transfer area between the support component 3 and the inner tank 2 can be reduced, the heat transfer quantity of the whole support component 3 can be effectively reduced, and the heat insulation performance of the whole cryogenic storage tank is further improved.
It should be understood that, referring to fig. 9 to 11 in combination, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned pulling tape 31 and the inner cylinder 21, and the pulling tape 31 and the outer sealing head 12 may also be fixedly connected by a connecting member. The connection is an intersection 35. The intersection 35 includes a first connection plate 351 and a second connection plate 352 fillet-welded to the first connection plate 351. The fillet weld includes a vertical fillet weld and an oblique fillet weld. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the first connecting plate 351 of one of the intersecting members 35 is welded to the inner cylinder 21, and the second connecting plate 352 is connected to the first wing 311, where the second connecting plate 352 of the intersecting member 35 is fillet welded to the first connecting plate 351. As shown in fig. 11, the first connecting plate 351 of another intersection 35 is fit-welded to the outer head 12, and the second connecting plate 352 is fit-connected to the second wing plate 312, where the second connecting plate 352 of the intersection 35 is bevel-welded to the first connecting plate 351. The intersection piece 35 can increase the connection strength between the pull belt 31 and the inner cylinder 21 and between the pull belt 31 and the outer end enclosure 12 on the premise of ensuring the heat insulation performance of the cryogenic storage tank.
It will be appreciated that in some of the embodiments described above, the number of support assemblies 3 may be plural and arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the cryogenic tank.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, the supporting members 3 are disposed on two opposite sides of the inner cylinder 21 in pairs in the same direction, that is, the same end of each pair of pulling straps 31 is respectively connected to the outer side 221 of the same end of the inner cylinder 22 or fixedly connected to the connecting member (the reinforcing box 32 in this embodiment), and the other same end of each pair of pulling straps 31 is respectively fixedly connected to the inner side 111 of the same end of the outer tank 1 or the connecting member (the backing plate 33 in this embodiment).
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, the supporting members 3 are disposed on two opposite sides of the inner cylinder 21 in pairs alternately, that is, the same end of each pair of pulling straps 31 is connected to the inner side 111 of the outer can 1 and the outer side 211 of the inner cylinder 21 at the same end, and the other same end of the pulling straps 31 is connected to the outer side 211 of the inner cylinder 21 and the inner side 111 of the outer can 1 at the other same end.
It will be appreciated that when the number of support members 3 is singular, they may be arranged in the same direction or alternatively one part may be arranged to interact with another part to ensure support of the inner vessel 2.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the cryogenic storage tank further comprises a head support 4 arranged on two inner heads 22. It is located in the intermediate layer 5 between interior head 22 and outer head 12, and one end is fixed in on interior head 22, and the other end is fixed in on outer head 12, and the head supports 4 and is located the central axis of this cryrogenic storage tank to support inner tank 2 in radial direction, prevent that inner tank 2 from taking place radial displacement. When the supporting components 3 are arranged in the interlayer 5 in the same direction, the inner tank 2 can be prevented from axial displacement or circumferential torsion, and the end enclosure supports 4 are required to be arranged on the inner end enclosures 22 on the two sides to increase the support. When supporting component 3 is alternately arranged in interlayer 5 relatively, it can not only prevent inner tank 2 from axial displacement or circumferential torsion, but also prevent inner tank 2 from radial displacement, so can not set up head support 4.
In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting component 3 may be disposed in an interlayer between the outer cylinder 11 and the inner cylinder 21, or in an interlayer between the outer head 12 and the inner head 22, and both ends of the supporting component are respectively connected to the outer head 12 and the inner head 22 at the same end, so as to play a better supporting role, and replace the radial supporting component and the head support at the same time.
In this disclosure, through the supporting component who changes radial support piece in the cryrogenic storage tank into the axial direction setting, and supporting component connects in the intermediate layer between interior outer tank, and supporting component includes the stretching strap, and the one end and the inner tank of stretching strap are connected, and the other end is connected with outer jar. Because the thickness and the width of the stretching strap in the supporting component are thinner and narrower than the thickness of the existing supporting component, the width of the interlayer space can be effectively reduced, and the volume of the inner tank can be effectively increased. The technical problem of compress the volumetric of inner tank among the prior art because of support piece thickness is big is solved.
Meanwhile, the width of the drawstring is smaller, so the heat transfer area between the drawstring and the inner and outer cylinders is smaller, and the heat insulation capability of the storage tank is improved. And the supporting component has strong heat insulation property, so that the wear-resistant metal material can be directly used without considering the heat conductivity of the material, and the possibility of wear of the supporting component is reduced.
