The automatic tank opening identification device 80 is connected to the column 10. The automatic tank opening identification device 80, the linear motion component 30, the rotating mechanism 40, and the Z-axis motion component 50 are electrically connected to the control system respectively;

The liquid receiving mechanism 70 is connected to one side of the Z-axis motion component 50 and is arranged adjacent to the train-specific vertical pipe 60.
[0060] The controller controls the linear motion component 30 to cooperate with the rotation mechanism 40 to move the train-specific drop tube 60 to a position directly above the tank opening of the train tank car within a range of ±50mm.

Two hydraulic pipelines 67 are respectively an inlet pipe 20 for supplying hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 and an outlet pipe for discharging hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66. The inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe respectively pass through both sides of the train sealing cap 65 and are connected to both sides of the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 to provide hydraulic power to the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66. The hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 is connected to the hydraulic station via hydraulic pipelines 67.

[0070] The infusion tube 663 is an inverted "Y"-shaped hollow tube. The liquids input from the two inlets of the infusion tube 663 are combined and then output from the outlet to the outlet end of the inner sleeve 64.
[0071] The hydraulic motor 661 and the pump body 662 are integrated into a design to reduce power transmission loss; multiple circumferentially surrounding suction pipes 664 increase the suction area to avoid vacuum caused by an uneven tank bottom or residual liquid, ensuring continuous and stable operation; the infusion pipe 663 connects the pump body 662 and the inner sleeve 64, enabling quick disassembly and assembly of the pump body 662, making it easy to inspect or replace.

The fixed tube 671 is connected to the hydraulic motor 661 through the telescopic inner tube 672.
[0073] The combined design of the fixed tube 671 and the telescopic inner tube 672 allows the length of the hydraulic pipeline 67 to be automatically adjusted as the casing expands and contracts, completely solving the problem of traditional rigid pipelines being easily bent and broken.

[0078] A sliding sealing structure is formed between the two middle tube abutting rings 632 and the middle tube wear-resistant ring 633, and between the two inner tube abutting rings 641 and the inner tube wear-resistant ring 642.
[0079] Precision limit and wear-resistant guide: the middle tube limit ring 621 / inner tube limit ring 631 rigidly limits the travel of the sleeve (middle sleeve 63, inner sleeve 64); the middle tube wear-resistant ring 633 / inner tube wear-resistant ring 642 abuts against the pipe wall to prevent radial shaking of the sleeve, ensure coaxial expansion and contraction, and reduce wear of the sealing structure.
[0080] Replaceable wear-resistant design: Wear-resistant rings (middle tube wear-resistant ring 633, inner tube wear-resistant ring 642) are embedded in the mounting grooves of the abutment rings (middle tube mounting groove, inner tube mounting groove). They can be replaced independently after wear, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
[0081] Strengthen the limiting function: the middle tube abutment ring 632 at the upper end of the middle sleeve 63 and the inner tube abutment ring 641 at the upper end of the inner sleeve 64 are arranged vertically relative to the limiting rings of the outer tube and the limiting rings of the middle tube respectively; when the sleeve is fully retracted, these abutment rings will contact the corresponding limiting rings to form a hard limit, which clearly prevents the sleeve from further retracting, protects the internal structure (such as the connection point of the wire rope 611) from impact or excessive extrusion, and improves the reliability and life of the equipment.
[0082] Providing force transmission points: the abutment rings (middle tube abutment ring 632 and inner tube abutment ring 641) provide stable support points for the sleeve in the retracted state.
[0083] The middle tube abutment ring 632 is located in the inner cavity of the outer tube, and the outer wall of the middle tube abutment ring 632 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the outer tube inner cavity; the inner tube abutment ring 641 is located in the inner cavity of the middle tube, and the outer wall of the inner tube abutment ring 641 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the middle tube inner cavity.
[0084] Ensure smooth movement: Clearly define the gap between the outer wall of the abutment ring (middle tube abutment ring 632, inner tube abutment ring 641) and the inner wall of the lumen (outer tube lumen, middle tube lumen); this design avoids radial friction between the abutment ring and the tube wall, ensuring that the sleeve only bears axial force (from the wire rope 611 and the limit ring) during extension and retraction, resulting in low movement resistance, more stable and smooth operation, and reduced risk of jamming.
[0085] Reduce wear: avoid unnecessary radial friction wear.
[0086] In this embodiment, in step 4), a limiting structure 68 is provided at the bottom of the outer sleeve 62 and the bottom of the middle sleeve 63. The limiting structure 68 includes a threaded barrel 681 and a positioning pin 682 for threaded connection with the outer sleeve 62 or the middle sleeve 63. A threaded cavity 683 communicating with the fluid channel is formed in the threaded barrel 681. The bottom opening of the threaded cavity 683 is provided with a bottom ring 684. The bottom ring 684 and the threaded barrel 681 are an integrated structure. The positioning pin 682 penetrates the bottom ring 684 to connect the threaded barrel 681 to the outer sleeve 62 or the middle sleeve 63.
[0087] The bottom ring 684 includes a bottom abutting ring 6841 for abutting the bottom of the outer sleeve 62 or the bottom of the middle sleeve 63, and two middle sleeve limiting rings 621 or two inner sleeve limiting rings 631. The bottom abutting ring 6841 and the middle sleeve limiting ring 621 or the inner sleeve limiting ring 631 are an integrated structure. A sealing area is formed between the two middle sleeve limiting rings 621 or the two inner sleeve limiting rings 631. A sealing wear-resistant ring 6842 is installed in the sealing area and is in sliding abutment with the outer wall of the middle sleeve 63 or the outer wall of the inner sleeve 64.
[0088] The bottom abutment ring 6841 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 6843 for the positioning pins 682 to pass through; the tops of the middle tube limiting ring 621 and the inner tube limiting ring 631 are both provided with top buffer rings; the threaded barrel 681 is threadedly connected to the outer sleeve 62 or the middle sleeve 63 through the threads in the threaded cavity 683, and the outer wall of the threaded barrel 681 is arranged flush with the outer wall of the outer sleeve 62 or the outer wall of the middle sleeve 63, and the outer wall of the threaded barrel 681 is provided with anti-slip grooves on the circumference.
[0089] The threaded connection facilitates disassembly and maintenance, reducing operation time by 50%. The sealing wear-resistant ring 6842 enhances bottom sealing and prevents liquid leakage. The anti-slip groove design makes manual operation more labor-saving and improves work efficiency. The positioning pin 682 ensures the firmness of the connection. The top buffer ring effectively absorbs the impact force when the casing is extended and retracted.
[0090] The sealing wear ring 6842 forms a dynamic seal in the sealing area, taking into account both mechanical protection and leakage prevention.
[0091] In this embodiment, in step 4), the wire retractor 61 is equipped with a torque sensor or current detection device for real-time monitoring of the load torque or motor operating current driving the wire rope 611. When the end of the inner sleeve 64 contacts the liquid surface, causing the load to increase, the torque or current change signal is used to determine whether the liquid outlet has reached the liquid surface and control the outlet to stop extending.
[0092] Intelligent liquid level detection and positioning: A torque sensor or current detection device monitors the load torque of the wire rope 611 or the current of the drive motor 612 in real time. When the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 at the end of the inner casing 64 contacts the liquid surface, the resistance (load) suddenly increases, causing a significant increase in torque or current. Upon detecting this change, the system automatically determines that the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 has reached the liquid surface and immediately controls the wire retractor 61 to stop extending.
[0093] Automatic and precise control of immersion depth: Ensures that the hydraulic oil displacement pump 66 stops at a position just touching the liquid surface or slightly below the liquid surface (according to the set logic), achieving optimal underwater loading effect (ensuring underwater liquid discharge while avoiding excessive insertion causing unnecessary resistance or equipment stress).
[0094] Improved automation and safety: Completely eliminates the need for manual observation and judgment of liquid levels, making operation more convenient, accurate, and safer. Prevents equipment overload damage or loosening of the wire rope due to excessive insertion.
[0095] The wire retractor 61 includes a drive motor 612, a reel 613 and a wire rope 611; the drive motor 612 is connected to the reel 613 through a motor shaft, one end of the wire rope 611 is connected to the reel 613, and the other end of the wire rope 611 is connected to the bottom of the inner sleeve 64; the drive motor 612 of the wire retractor 61 is an explosion-proof motor.
[0096] Improved intrinsic safety: When loading equipment in flammable and explosive hazardous locations such as the petroleum and chemical industries, the use of explosion-proof motors is mandatory. This design effectively prevents sparks and high temperatures generated during motor operation from igniting the surrounding explosive environment, greatly improving the intrinsic safety of the equipment in hazardous areas and complying with safety regulations.
[0097] Ensuring operational safety: is the key foundation for the safe operation of the entire equipment.
[0098] Providing a reliable drive solution: The core structure of the wire retractor 61 is clarified: the drive motor 612 provides power, the drum 613 winds the wire rope 611, one end of the wire rope 611 is fixed to the drum 613, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the inner sleeve 64; this is the most direct, reliable and mature mechanical transmission method to achieve sleeve extension and retraction.
[0099] The force transmission path is clear: the steel wire rope 611 directly pulls the innermost casing (inner casing 64), and drives the middle casing (middle casing 63) to move through the inner casing 64. The structure is simple and efficient.
[0100] In this embodiment, a filtering structure 665 is provided at the bottom of the pump body 662. The filtering structure 665 includes a hollow frame 6651.

The bottom buffer ring 6653 is provided with a plurality of suspended filter meshes 6654. The filter mesh 6654 is an arc-shaped structure. The bottom shape of the filter mesh 6654 is A bowl-shaped interception cavity is formed, the diameter of the filter mesh 6654 is smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid pipette 664, and a plurality of push rods 6655 are connected to the outside of the filter mesh 6654. The plurality of push rods 6655 are arranged around the outside of the filter mesh 6654 at intervals. The push rods 6655 are arranged perpendicular to the filter mesh 6654. The length of the push rods 6655 is greater than the length of the liquid pipette 664. The bottom of the push rod 6655 passes through the bottom buffer ring 6653 and is horizontally bent away from the liquid pipette 664 to form a bottom contact foot 6656.
[0101] When the filter structure 665 needs to be installed on the pump body 662, first insert the filter mesh 6654 into the suction tube 664, and then thread the rotating connecting ring 6652 to the pump body 662;
[0102] When the pump body 662 descends to the inner bottom of the train tank car, the bottom contact foot 6656 abuts against the inner bottom of the train tank car, so that the bottom contact foot 6656 pushes the filter mesh 6654 to move upward in the suction tube 664 through the push rod 6655 until the filter mesh 6654 rises to the pump chamber of the pump body 662. At this time, the outer wall of the filter mesh 6654 and the top opening of the suction tube 664 are spaced apart to form a lateral suction area.
[0103] Through the rotational connection between the connecting ring 6652 and the hollow frame 6651, the hollow frame 6651 can be in a stationary state during the process of the connecting ring 6652 being threadedly connected to the pump body 662, so as to facilitate the positioning and installation of the filter mesh 6654. The suction tube 664 can be protected by the bottom buffer ring 6653. The filter mesh 6654 effectively intercepts impurities in the liquid with a filtration accuracy of 0.5mm; the bowl-shaped interception cavity design increases the filtration area and reduces the risk of clogging; the automatic adjustment function ensures that the filter mesh 6654 is always in the best working position; the bottom-touching foot 6656 design ensures the accurate positioning of the filter structure 665; this structure enables the pump body 662 to automatically adjust when it approaches the bottom of the tank, protecting the safety of the pump body 662.

[0105] Bottoming buffer protection: The compression spring 6658 absorbs the impact force caused by the uneven bottom of the tank and prevents the bottoming foot 6656 from deforming.
[0106] Automatic reset function: The guide post 6657 cooperates with the positioning groove to ensure that the filter structure 665 is accurately reset after being lifted.
[0107] Extend component life: The wear-resistant sleeve reduces the wear of the bottom contact foot 6656 and adapts to the rough tank bottom environment.
