Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of gas dispensers, in particular to a safety device for preventing liquid spraying from a LNG gas dispenser used for liquid filling and gun withdrawal. Background Art
[0002] As a means of transportation, cars emit a large amount of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, lead compounds and other air pollutants every day. They are an important source of air pollution and bring serious harm to human health and the ecological environment. Energy conservation and emission reduction are the eternal theme of the development of the automobile industry. Continuously strengthening energy conservation and emission reduction has become an urgent need for my country's economy to achieve sound and rapid development. A gas filling machine refers to a gas filling device that provides fuel to natural gas vehicles in the form of compressed natural gas. The gas in the natural gas pipeline is generally pre-purified to remove sulfur and water in the gas, and then the pressure is compressed from 0.1-1.0Mpa to 25Mpa by a compressor unit, and finally the vehicle is filled with gas through a gas dispenser. When the existing LNG gas filling machine is in use, since liquefied natural gas will automatically gasify under atmospheric pressure, it is easy to spray out natural gas. Once it is sprayed into the surrounding environment, it is easy to cause safety accidents. Summary of the invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a safety device for preventing liquid spraying during liquid filling and gun withdrawal of an LNG filling machine, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a safety device for preventing liquid spraying from the gun when adding liquid to an LNG filling machine, comprising a filling pipe for adding liquid and a sealing cylinder installed at the end of the filling pipe to prevent natural gas from spraying out, wherein the sealing cylinder is slidably installed on the filling pipe, and a fixing cylinder is welded and fixed on the filling pipe, the side surface of the fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of a first spring sleeved on the filling pipe, the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the side surface of the sealing cylinder, and a limiting ring is integrally formed and fixed at one end of the filling pipe located in the sealing cylinder. The design of the limiting ring prevents the sealing cylinder from slipping out of the filling pipe. During the filling process, the sealing cylinder is covered at the filling port of the car, and then as the staff continues to exert force, the filling pipe is inserted into the filling port of the car, and then the valve on the filling pipe is opened to start adding natural gas liquid. After the filling is completed, the filling pipe is withdrawn. At this time, the design of the sealing cylinder effectively prevents the natural gas from spraying onto the body of the staff, and the use is safe.
[0005] As a further solution of the present invention: a liquid filling port for the liquid filling tube to pass through is opened at the end of the sealing cylinder, and an integrally formed first sealing ring is fixed around the liquid filling port on the outer wall of the sealing cylinder, and the first sealing ring can effectively improve the sealing effect between the sealing cylinder and the car.

As a further solution of the present invention: a sliding plate is slidably installed inside the fixed cylinder, and the sliding plate is sleeved on the liquid filling tube, one end of the sliding plate facing the outside of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod extends out of the fixed cylinder and is fixedly connected to one end of the side of the sliding ring, the sliding ring is slidably installed on the liquid filling tube, the other end of the sliding plate facing the outside of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting tube, the other end of the connecting tube extends out of the fixed cylinder and is fixedly connected to the other end of the side of the sliding ring, and the other end of the connecting tube is fixedly connected to one side port of the three-way valve fixed on the other side of the sliding ring, the other side port of the three-way valve is connected to the input end of the recovery tank, and the recovery tank is installed on the sliding ring.
[0007] It should be noted that the middle port of the three-way valve is connected to the atmosphere. In actual use, the filling pipe is first inserted into the gas filling port of the car. First, the middle port of the three-way valve is adjusted to be connected to the atmosphere. The sliding plate is pushed to slide to the end of the fixed cylinder toward the sealing cylinder through the sliding ring to discharge the air in the fixed cylinder. Then, the three-way valve is adjusted to connect the recovery tank with the connecting pipe. At this time, the sliding plate is pushed to slide back and forth in the fixed cylinder through the sliding ring. With the continuous reciprocating motion of the sliding plate, the natural gas in the sealing cylinder is extracted and squeezed into the recovery tank for storage, thereby achieving the effect of recovering the sprayed natural gas and improving the practicality of the safety device.
[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the recovery tank is threadedly fixed on the fixing frame, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame, and the other end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the sliding ring. The threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the recovery tank, thereby replacing the recovery tank. When a recovery tank is full of collected natural gas, the recovery tank can be removed and directly replaced with a new recovery tank.

[0010] It should be noted that when assembling the recovery tank, as the recovery tank body is threadedly connected to the fixing frame, the recovery tank body is pushed toward the three-way valve, and the end of the intake pipe is inserted into the three-way valve through the guiding action of the fixing frame. As the recovery tank body continues to move toward the three-way valve, the second sealing ring is stuck at the connection between the intake pipe and the three-way valve, thereby improving the sealing between the three-way valve and the intake pipe.
