【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
本発明は漏洩検知機構を有する地下タンクに関するもの
である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an underground tank having a leak detection mechanism.
(従来技術)
従来の給油所等の油施設において地下に埋設されている
ガソリン等の油タンクは消防法の規定によりスチール製
であるがこのようなタンクは一般に腐蝕し易く、又注油
孔の直下の部分が注入油圧力によって孔があき易い(エ
ロージョン)欠点があった。(Prior art) Gasoline and other oil tanks buried underground in conventional oil facilities such as gas stations are made of steel according to the provisions of the Fire Service Act. There was a drawback that holes were easily formed (erosion) in the parts due to the pressure of the injected oil.
更にタンク外周をコールタール等の瀝青材で防錆したも
のでも地上から浸透した油でこの防錆層が溶解しタンク
外周が土壌腐蝕され易い欠点があった。Furthermore, even when the outer periphery of the tank is rust-proofed with bituminous material such as coal tar, this rust-preventing layer is dissolved by oil seeping in from the ground, and the outer periphery of the tank is susceptible to soil corrosion.
又このような地下に埋設されたタンクのその孔あきの事
実を知るためには例えばタンク内に不活性ガスを注入し
てタンク内を所定圧とし、この圧力の時間的変化から洩
れを検出するようにしているが一般にタンクは大容量で
ありタンク内に導入するガス量も多いため作業が面倒で
あり且つ検知誤差も多くなる等の欠点があった。In addition, in order to know the fact that there is a hole in such a tank buried underground, for example, inert gas is injected into the tank to maintain a predetermined pressure inside the tank, and leakage is detected from the change in this pressure over time. However, the tank generally has a large capacity and the amount of gas introduced into the tank is large, making the work cumbersome and increasing detection errors.
(発明の目的)
本発明の目的は上記のような欠点を除去した漏洩検知機
構を有する地下タンクを得るにある。(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to obtain an underground tank having a leakage detection mechanism that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.
(発明の構成)
本発明の漏洩検知機構を有する地下タンクは流体を入れ
る内側タンクと、この内側タンクの外側に若干の間隙を
介して覆せた外側タンクと、これら内側及び外側タンク
間の前記間隙に開口する導管と、この導管を介して前記
間隙内に液体を導入する機構と、前記導管内の液体レベ
ルの変化を検知する機構とより成ることを特徴とする。(Structure of the Invention) The underground tank having the leakage detection mechanism of the present invention includes an inner tank that holds fluid, an outer tank that can be covered with a slight gap on the outside of the inner tank, and a gap between the inner and outer tanks. The device is characterized by comprising a conduit opening into the gap, a mechanism for introducing liquid into the gap through the conduit, and a mechanism for detecting changes in the liquid level in the conduit.
(発明の実施例) 以下図面によって本発明の詳細な説明する。(Example of the invention) The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.
本発明においては第1図、第2図に示すように例えば内
径約2m、長さ約6m、厚さ約6Illlの円筒状スチ
ール製内側タンク1の外周を約0.2a++*の間隙2
を介して厚さ約3mmの強化プラスチック(F RP)
の外側タンク3によって覆い、この外側タンク3の上部
よりこれを気密に貫通して延び前記間隙2に開口する外
径約80mm、厚さ約611II11のスチール導管4
を設け、この導管4を介して前記間隙2内に水等の液体
を充填せしめるようにし、この導管4内の液体のレベル
を検知する機構、例えば覗き窓(図示せず)を設ける。In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, a cylindrical steel inner tank 1 having an inner diameter of about 2 m, a length of about 6 m, and a thickness of about 6 Ill.
Reinforced plastic (FRP) with a thickness of about 3mm through
A steel conduit 4 having an outer diameter of about 80 mm and a thickness of about 611II11 extends from the upper part of the outer tank 3 through the outer tank 3 in an airtight manner and opens into the gap 2.
A liquid such as water is filled into the gap 2 through the conduit 4, and a mechanism for detecting the level of the liquid in the conduit 4, such as a viewing window (not shown), is provided.
尚5は前記内側及び外側タンク1.3の上部にこれらを
貫通して設けた油注入孔や通気孔等を有するタンクソケ
ットを示す。Reference numeral 5 designates a tank socket having an oil injection hole, a ventilation hole, etc., provided at the upper part of the inner and outer tanks 1.3 and passing through them.
本発明の前記内側及び外側タンク1.3間に間隙2を形
成せしめるには例えば内側タンク1の外周複数個所に長
さ約0.2 ratsの突起を設け、これらを覆うよう
外側タンク3を例えば2つ割りにして覆せる。In order to form the gap 2 between the inner and outer tanks 1.3 of the present invention, for example, protrusions with a length of about 0.2 rats are provided at a plurality of locations on the outer circumference of the inner tank 1, and the outer tank 3 is, for example, provided so as to cover these protrusions. You can split it in two and cover it.
然しなから内側タンク1の外周に例えば厚さ0゜2mm
の例えばサランラフブ(商標名)等のポリ塩化ビニリデ
ンの網等のシートを間歇的に又は密巻きし、その上にガ
ラスファイバーの布を密巻きし、この上に不飽和ポリエ
ステルを塗布して自然硬化せしめても良く、このように
すれば前記ガラスファイバーに不飽和ポリエステルが浸
透しこれらが自然硬化して外側タンク3を形成し、且つ
前記ポリ塩化ビニリデンのシート部分が約0.2mmの
空隙を伴った間隙を形成するようになる。However, the outer circumference of the inner tank 1 has a thickness of, for example, 0°2 mm.
For example, a sheet of polyvinylidene chloride mesh such as Saran Lavub (trade name) is wound intermittently or tightly, a glass fiber cloth is tightly wound on top of it, and an unsaturated polyester is applied on top of this and it hardens naturally. In this way, the unsaturated polyester penetrates into the glass fibers and these are naturally hardened to form the outer tank 3, and the polyvinylidene chloride sheet portion has a gap of about 0.2 mm. This leads to the formation of a gap.
本発明漏洩検知機構を有する地下タンクは上記のような
構成であるから若し内側タンク1に洩れを生じた場合に
は前記導管4及び間隙2内の液体が前記内側タンク1内
に流入し、導管4内の液体のレベルが低下するからこれ
を検知することによって内側タンク1の漏洩が検知され
るようになる。Since the underground tank having the leak detection mechanism of the present invention has the above-described configuration, if a leak occurs in the inner tank 1, the liquid in the conduit 4 and the gap 2 will flow into the inner tank 1, A leak in the inner tank 1 is detected by detecting the drop in the level of liquid in the conduit 4.
尚外側タンク3に洩れがあっても同様に導管4内の液体
のレベルが低下するのでこの際内側タンク1内の内容物
のレベルが上昇するか否かも同時に検知すれば一層確実
に内側タンク1の洩れか外側タンク3の洩れかを検知す
ることが可能である。Note that even if there is a leak in the outer tank 3, the level of the liquid in the conduit 4 will similarly drop, so if it is also detected at the same time whether the level of the contents in the inner tank 1 has risen, it will be more reliable to check the inner tank 1. It is possible to detect whether the leak is from the outside tank 3 or the outside tank 3.

よれば容易にタンクの漏洩を正確に検知出来るようにな
る大きな利益がある。(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the underground tank having the leak detection mechanism of the present invention has the great advantage of being able to easily and accurately detect tank leaks.
