Description

この発明は、球形、横置、縦置等の貯槽の水張試験や耐圧試験を行う際にバルブ故障やバルブ操作ミスなどにより、貯槽内部が負圧状態となることを防止する構造及び方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a structure and a method for preventing the inside of a storage tank from becoming a negative pressure state due to a valve failure or a valve operation error when performing a water filling test or a pressure resistance test of a storage tank such as a sphere, a horizontal installation, and a vertical installation. Is.

図11及び図12に示すように、水張耐圧試験を行う際に、バルブ故障やバルブ操作ミス等のヒューマンエラー、排水量に対する通気量が不足した場合などによって貯槽内部が負圧となり、貯槽を座屈損壊してしまうことがある。
1は、球形タンク、横置きタンク、縦置タンク等の貯槽、2は下部開口部、3は上部開口部、4は通気管(図12に示す)である。2aは下部開口部2に接続する水張水抜配管、3aは上部開口部3に接続する空気出入配管である。Aは空気、Wは水を示す。
As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, when the water pressure test is performed, the internal pressure of the storage tank becomes negative due to a human error such as a valve failure or a valve operation error or a shortage of air flow with respect to the amount of drainage. It may break down.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage tank such as a spherical tank, a horizontal tank, and a vertical tank, 2 is a lower opening, 3 is an upper opening, and 4 is a vent pipe (shown in FIG. 12). 2a is a water-filled drain pipe connected to the lower opening 2, and 3a is an air outlet / inlet pipe connected to the upper opening 3. A represents air and W represents water.

図11は、上部開口部3を締め切った状態で下部開口部から水を排出する際に、貯槽壁板が薄い場合に貯槽1内部が負圧となって座屈を生じた状況を示す。殊に、高圧下で気体や液体を貯蔵する貯槽1は、通常の場合、使用圧力としての内圧を基準に耐圧設計がなされており、内部が大気圧以下に減圧すること、すなわち外圧が作用することを想定した設計は経済的観点もあって行われていないことが多い。そのため、上部開口部3の空気出入配管3aの開口通気のための操作を忘れたり操作遅れなどのバルブ操作ミスやバルブ故障などがあった場合に、貯槽1の内部が負圧となって、Zに示すように貯槽を座屈損壊させる事故となった。   FIG. 11 shows a situation in which, when water is discharged from the lower opening with the upper opening 3 closed, when the storage wall plate is thin, the inside of the storage tank 1 becomes negative pressure and buckling occurs. In particular, the storage tank 1 for storing gas or liquid under high pressure is normally designed with a pressure resistance based on the internal pressure as the working pressure, and the internal pressure is reduced to below atmospheric pressure, that is, the external pressure acts. In many cases, such a design is not performed because of an economic viewpoint. Therefore, when the operation for venting the opening of the air inlet / outlet pipe 3a of the upper opening 3 is forgotten or there is a valve operation mistake or valve failure such as an operation delay, the inside of the storage tank 1 becomes negative pressure and Z As shown in Fig. 4, the tank was buckled and damaged.

図12は、上部開口部3は締め切った状態で通気管4を吸排気に使用する事例で、この場合は水抜き時に、吸気ラインのサイズ不足、弁の開度不足、弁の故障や詰まり等の原因により途中で吸気量が追いつかずに、貯槽1内が負圧となって座屈を生じた状況を示す。つまり、排水量に比較して上部の通気管4から供給される空気量が少ないために内部が負圧になって、Zに示すように貯槽を座屈損壊させた事故例である。   FIG. 12 shows an example in which the vent pipe 4 is used for intake and exhaust while the upper opening 3 is closed. In this case, when draining water, the intake line is insufficient in size, the valve opening is insufficient, the valve is broken or clogged, etc. This shows a situation in which the intake amount does not catch up on the way due to the cause, and the inside of the storage tank 1 becomes negative pressure and buckling occurs. That is, this is an example of an accident in which the amount of air supplied from the upper vent pipe 4 is small compared to the amount of drainage, so that the internal pressure becomes negative and the storage tank buckles as shown by Z.

上記のような負圧による事故を防止する従来技術として、例えば特許文献1の特開2003−128184号「タンク、コンテナ等の容器の破損防止機構」がある。この発明は、下部に排出部、上部にエア抜き部を有する型の容器の破損防止機構において、排出部の開放操作に連動させてエア抜き部の開放操作を行わせる連結手段またはエア抜き部の開放操作後でないと排出部の開放操作を行えないようにする連結手段を備えているものである。   As a conventional technique for preventing an accident due to the negative pressure as described above, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-128184 “Mechanism for preventing damage to containers such as tanks and containers” is disclosed. The present invention relates to a mechanism for preventing damage to a container having a discharge portion at the bottom and an air vent portion at the top, and a connecting means or an air vent portion for performing the opening operation of the air vent portion in conjunction with the opening operation of the discharge portion. It is provided with connecting means for preventing the discharge portion from being opened only after the opening operation.

また、他の従来技術として、例えば特許文献2の特開2003−301969号「真空安全弁の作動確認方法及びその作動確認構造」がある。この発明は、真空安全弁の負圧側配管の内部を作動側空間と開放側空間とに仕切るよう、シール板を挿入して作動空間を密閉し、シール板をスライドさせることにより作動側空間を負圧にして真空安全弁の作動を確認するようにしたものである。   As another conventional technique, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-301969 of “Patent Document 2”, “Operation Confirmation Method and Operation Confirmation Structure of Vacuum Safety Valve”. This invention inserts a seal plate so as to partition the inside of the vacuum side pipe of the vacuum safety valve into the working side space and the open side space, seals the working space, and slides the sealing plate to make the working side space negative pressure. Thus, the operation of the vacuum safety valve is confirmed.

図11に示すように貯槽の水張り満水の耐圧試験を行う際に、バルブ操作の忘れや遅れなどのミスやバルブ故障などにより貯槽内が著しく負圧になることにより、貯槽1を座屈損壊させる事故が発生することがある。   As shown in FIG. 11, when performing a pressure test of water filled with water in the storage tank, the storage tank 1 is buckled and damaged due to a significant negative pressure in the storage tank due to mistakes such as forgotten or delayed valve operation or valve failure. Accidents may occur.

図12に示すように水抜きの途中で吸気量が排水量に追いつかない場合、つまり水張試験や耐圧試験後の排水を行う際に、上部の通気管4から供給される空気量が少ない状況になっても貯槽1の内部を著しく負圧にさせることなく、貯槽1を座屈損壊させる事故が発生しないような機構が求められている。   As shown in FIG. 12, when the amount of intake air does not catch up with the amount of drainage in the middle of draining water, that is, when draining after a water tension test or pressure resistance test, the amount of air supplied from the upper vent pipe 4 is small. Even so, there is a demand for a mechanism that does not cause an accident that causes buckling of the storage tank 1 without significantly reducing the inside of the storage tank 1.

特許文献1の特開2003−128184号「タンク、コンテナ等の容器の破損防止機構」の発明は、エア抜き部が開放されていない状態での内容物の排出が行われないような機構とされているので、作業者の不注意で容器内に負圧が生じてしまうようなことはなく、作業者の取扱い不注意等による容器の破損を完全に防止できるが、通常使用時の構造機構であるため、装置が複雑でメンテナンスが大変であった。   The invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-128184 “A mechanism for preventing damage to containers such as tanks and containers” is a mechanism that prevents the contents from being discharged without the air vent being opened. Therefore, there is no negative pressure in the container due to carelessness of the operator, and damage to the container due to careless handling by the worker can be completely prevented. As a result, the equipment was complicated and maintenance was difficult.

また特許文献2の特開2003−301969号「真空安全弁の作動確認方法及びその作動確認構造」の発明は、簡単な構造で真空安全弁の作動を容易に確認することができるが、圧力検査時における高圧状態から急激な負圧に変化するのを確認するものではない。   In addition, the invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-301969 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-301969 can easily confirm the operation of the vacuum safety valve with a simple structure. It does not confirm a change from a high pressure state to a sudden negative pressure.

この発明は上述のような従来技術が有する問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、水張耐圧試験を行う際に、上部のマンホールや通気管など開口部のバルブ操作の忘れや遅れなどのミスやバルブ故障、或いは吸気量の不足などにより、貯槽内部が負圧状態とならないように、自動的に空気を吸い込むようにした吸排気装置を水張耐圧試験時に使用する負圧発生防止構造及び負圧発生防止方法を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and the object of the present invention is to control the valve operation of an opening such as an upper manhole or a vent pipe when performing a hydrostatic pressure test. A negative pressure to be used for water pressure test that uses an intake / exhaust device that automatically inhales air to prevent negative pressure inside the storage tank due to mistakes such as forgetting or delay, valve failure, or insufficient intake volume. The object is to provide a pressure generation prevention structure and a negative pressure generation prevention method.

請求項1の発明に係る貯槽の水張耐圧試験時に使用する負圧発生防止構造は、水張り時に空気抜き機能を有し、満水時に水がリークしない耐圧密閉機能を有し、かつ水抜き時に吸気機能を有する、浮力弁体とシール面体と支持枠体とで形成した一体型の吸排気装置を貯槽頂部の上部開口部に設けてなることを特徴とする。   The structure for preventing negative pressure generation used at the time of water-filling pressure resistance test of the storage tank according to claim 1 has an air venting function when water is filled, has a pressure-tight sealing function that prevents water from leaking when water is full, and an intake function when draining water An integrated intake / exhaust device formed of a buoyancy valve body, a seal face body, and a support frame body is provided in the upper opening of the storage tank top.

請求項2の発明に係る貯槽の水張耐圧試験時における負圧発生防止方法は、水張り時に空気抜き機能を有するとともに水抜き時に吸気機能を有する浮力弁体を設けて形成した一体型の吸排気装置を貯槽頂部の上部開口部に取付け、水張り時には下部開口部からの水張りとともに上部開口部に設けた吸排気装置から排気し、満水及び昇圧時には吸排気装置を密封状態に閉塞し、水抜き時には貯槽内部が負圧にならないように下部開口部からの排水とともに上部開口部に設けた吸排気装置から吸気することを特徴とする。   A method for preventing negative pressure generation during a water-filled pressure test of a storage tank according to claim 2 is an integrated intake / exhaust device formed by providing a buoyancy valve body having an air vent function when water is filled and an air intake function when water is drained Is attached to the upper opening at the top of the storage tank, and when the water is filled, the air is exhausted from the intake / exhaust device provided in the upper opening together with the water filling from the lower opening. Intake of air from an intake / exhaust device provided in the upper opening together with drainage from the lower opening so that the inside does not become negative pressure.

請求項1の発明に係る貯槽の水張耐圧試験時に使用する負圧発生防止構造は、水張り時に空気抜き機能を有し、満水時に水がリークしない耐圧密閉機能を有し、かつ水抜き時に吸気機能を有する、浮力弁体とシール面体と支持枠体とで形成した一体型の吸排気装置を貯槽頂部の上部開口部に設けたので、水張り時には貯槽内の空気を排出し、満水時には耐圧試験時には閉塞して圧力を保持し、水抜き時には排水量以上の吸気が可能となり必要空気量を取り込むため、吸気量の不足がなく負圧になることなく安全性が向上する。   The structure for preventing negative pressure generation used at the time of water-filling pressure resistance test of the storage tank according to claim 1 has an air venting function when water is filled, has a pressure-tight sealing function that prevents water from leaking when water is full, and an intake function when draining water Since the integrated intake / exhaust device formed by the buoyancy valve body, the seal face body and the support frame is provided in the upper opening of the top of the storage tank, the air in the storage tank is discharged when the tank is filled with water, and the pressure test is performed when the tank is full. The pressure is maintained by blocking, and when the water is drained, intake more than the amount of drainage is possible and the necessary amount of air is taken in. Therefore, safety is improved without a shortage of intake and no negative pressure.

この浮力弁体を設けて形成した一体型の吸排気装置を取付けて水張耐圧試験を行えば、水張り時に貯槽内の残存気体の排気が容易となり、完全排気によって耐圧試験圧力を容易に得ることができ、また、電気信号や測定器具を必要としないため機器の故障や操作ミスなどの不具合がなく、排水時の負圧による座屈損壊に対する安全を確保することができる。   If an integrated intake / exhaust device formed with this buoyancy valve is installed and a water-tight pressure test is performed, the remaining gas in the storage tank can be easily exhausted when water is filled, and the pressure test pressure can be easily obtained by complete exhaust. In addition, since no electrical signal or measuring instrument is required, there is no malfunction such as equipment failure or operation error, and safety against buckling damage due to negative pressure during drainage can be ensured.

請求項2の発明に係る貯槽の水張耐圧試験時における負圧発生防止方法は、水張り時に空気抜き機能を有するとともに水抜き時に吸気機能を有する浮力弁体を設けて形成した一体型の吸排気装置を貯槽頂部の上部開口部に取付け、水張り時には下部開口部からの水張りとともに上部開口部に設けた吸排気装置から排気し、満水及び昇圧時には吸排気装置を密封状態に閉塞し、水抜き時には貯槽内部が負圧にならないように下部開口部からの排水とともに上部開口部に設けた吸排気装置から吸気するので、水張り時の空気抜きを完全に行い、満水時の水密性が良く昇圧及び試験圧力維持も確実となり、水抜き時の排水も安全確実に行うことができる。
