The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of safety detection of large spherical tanks, and particularly, relates to a modular large spherical tank internal detection device with a self-locking function.
At present, as a storage pressure vessel commonly used in heavy industries, such as petroleum, chemical industry, and metallurgy, a spherical tank has the characteristics of large size, small floor area, easiness in operation and management, and the like. However, the spherical tank is made by welding steel plates of different specifications. Due to the particularity of the industry where it is applied, the safety degree of a weld is particularly critical, and certain requirements need to be put forward for the safety of the weld. The spherical tank not only needs to be detected after being manufactured, but also needs to be detected after reaching a certain service life. Therefore, periodic detection of the spherical tank becomes a critical process. However, the volume of the spherical tank is too large and the workload of pure manual detection is heavy. Therefore, it is of great significance to put forward a device that can perform safety detection on the interior of the large spherical tank.
In the existing spherical tank detection technologies, most of them only use the form of fixing one end of a central shaft, and the transmission stability of a device is poor; a mounting process of the detection device is cumbersome, which increases the workload of workers and reduces the work efficiency; most devices do not consider potential safety hazards in an actual operation. For example, in the case of sudden power failure, the safety of detecting instruments and workers cannot be guaranteed.
Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing large spherical tank internal detection technology, the present disclosure provides a modular large spherical tank internal detection device with a self-locking function. By adopting the self-locking function of the device, a safety coefficient of the detection device can be improved, and the safety of detecting instruments and workers can be guaranteed in the case of sudden power failure. By adopting a modular assembly method of the device, the mounting efficiency can be greatly improved without a rope or a chain, long-distance transmission of the device can be realized, and the device can be applied to detecting large spherical tanks with different diameters.

Since the detection group 2 is connected to the worm gear frame 1-13, the detecting instrument performs the horizontal rotational movement around the central axis of the large spherical tank. The other path of power is transmitted from the second connecting piece 1-11, passes through the gear shaft 1-4, the second central shaft 1-3-2, the third central shaft 1-3-3, the fourth central shaft 1-3-4, the fifth central shaft 1-3-5, and the sixth central shaft 1-3-6 in sequence, and reaches the worm shaft 1-5, so that the worm shaft 1-5 rotates.
