DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to the description.
[0025] As Figures 1 to 3 shown.
[0026] A double-lock valve body connecting mechanism of the present application comprises:
[0027] The inlet pipe 1 is in communication with the fixed communication end 11 under normal conditions and a specific transport storage tank,
[0028] The valve body 2 is in communication with the fixed communication end 21 under normal conditions and a storage device at a unloading point, and the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2 is in communication with the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1.
[0029] The fixed shell 3 is installed on the outside of the inlet pipe 1 under normal conditions, the power member 4 is installed on the inlet pipe 1 to provide moving power for the fixed shell 3, and the fixed shell 3 covers the inlet pipe 1 and the outside of the valve body 2.
[0030] After the specific transport storage tank is transported to the unloading point, the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is in communication with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2, the fixed shell 3 is automatically moved from the outside of the inlet pipe 1 to the outside of the valve body 2 by the power member 4, the fixed shell 3 covers the inlet pipe 1 and the outside of the valve body 2, the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is in airtight communication with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2, and the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is in airtight communication with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2. One tight locking, the high-risk fluid medium in the high-pressure state flows through the valve body 2 from the inlet pipe 1, since the inlet pipe 1 and the outside of the valve body 2 are both sealed and covered by the fixed shell 3, leakage of the high-risk fluid medium in the high-pressure state is avoided, even if leakage occurs, since the fixed shell 3 is automatically moved from the outside of the inlet pipe 1 to the outside of the valve body 2 by the power member 4, direct operation and contact by personnel is avoided, and the problem of personnel being in a high-risk environment inhaling dangerous fluid medium is solved.
[0031] The inlet pipe 1 and the valve body 2 are externally threaded; the inner surface of the fixed shell 3 is threaded; the power element 4 is a miniature gear motor with a gear on the output shaft; the threads on the inner surface of the fixed shell 3 are screwed and connected to the threads on the outer surface of the inlet pipe 1 and the valve body 2 to form a sealed cover, the gear and the threads on the inner surface of the fixed shell 3 form a worm gear structure, the miniature gear motor drives the gear on the output shaft to rotate, realizing the screwing and covering of the fixed shell 3 from the outer surface of the inlet pipe 1 to the outer surface of the valve body 2. The power element 4 can also be an electric telescopic rod, the telescopic end of the power element 4 is fixed to the fixed shell 3, and the telescopic movement of the power element 4 drives the fixed shell 3 to fit with the inlet pipe 1 and the valve body 2 to achieve sealed covering.
[0032] The outer surface of the inlet pipe 1 is provided with a step for installing the power element 4, and the step and the fixed shell 3 form an installation groove for installing the power element 4.
[0033] The inner surface of the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is integrally or weldedly fixedly provided with a locking groove ring 13, and the locking groove edge 13 and the inner surface of the interface end 12 form a locking ring groove; a high-pressure locking block A 14 is axially slidably installed in the locking ring groove, and the outer bottom of the high-pressure locking block A 14 is tapered; the inlet pipe 1 of the interface end 12 is provided with a through hole, and a high-pressure locking block B 15 is radially slidably installed in the through hole, and the inner top surface of the high-pressure locking block B 15 is tapered, so that the high-pressure locking block B 15 is in inclined surface contact with the high-pressure locking block A 14; the inner surface of the valve body 2 of the interface end A 22 is provided with a limiting groove 23 for the high-pressure locking block B 15 to extend out and tightly contact, and the locking groove edge 13, the high-pressure locking block A 14 and the high-pressure locking block B 15 form a pressure-locked self-locking assembly at the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1.
[0034] When the inlet pipe 1 inputs high-pressure high-risk fluid medium, the high-pressure high-risk fluid medium presses the high-pressure locking block A 14 to slide in the locking ring groove formed by the locking groove edge 13 and the inner surface of the interface end 12 towards the high-pressure locking block B 15, so that the high-pressure locking block B 15 extends out radially and tightly contacts with the inner surface of the limiting groove 23 of the interface end A 22, achieving that the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is automatically connected and communicated with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2 from the inside through the pressure-locked self-locking assembly, realizing that the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is tightly locked with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2 at another place. Since the pressure-locked self-locking assembly can automatically realize that the interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is connected and communicated with the interface end A 22 of the valve body 2 from the inside, the problem of high risk and complicated operation of sealing and connecting the connecting pipe and the overflow valve body from the outside is solved. The double-lock valve body connection formed by the two tight locks effectively improves the reliability of the sealed connection and effectively resists the axial load and the radial load.
[0035] The high-pressure locking block A14 and the high-pressure locking block B15 can be made of elastic rubber and can be elastically deformed under pressure, or can be made of steel and can not be elastically deformed under pressure.
[0036] The pressure-locked self-locking assembly further comprises a reset member 16 installed at the lower part of the high-pressure locking block A14. When the high-pressure locking block A14 is not in a high-pressure state, the reset member 16 provides a reset force for the sliding of the high-pressure locking block A14 away from the high-pressure locking block B15 in the locking ring groove. The reset force provided by the reset member 16 cannot make the high-pressure locking block A14 disengage from the locking ring groove. The reset member 16 can be an elastic rubber block, an elastic member, or a spring. When the high-pressure locking block A14 makes the high-pressure locking block B15 completely extend radially and tightly contact the inner surface of the limiting groove 23, the spring is in the maximum compression state. When the high-pressure locking block A14 is no longer in contact with the high-pressure locking block B15, the spring is in the minimum compression state and does not generate elastic force.
[0037] The interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is provided with an annular overflow temporary storage groove 17 in the axial direction. The top of the overflow temporary storage groove 17 is provided with an air inlet 18 and an air outlet 19. The interface end 12 of the inlet pipe 1 is a conical surface. When the internal pressure of the unloading point storage device connected with the fixed communication end 21 increases, the high-pressure high-risk fluid medium pushes the inlet pipe 1 of the interface end 12 to move away from the valve body 2 in the axial direction to generate a gap. The leaked overflow of the high-pressure high-risk fluid medium is temporarily stored in the overflow temporary storage groove 17 through the limiting groove 23. The leaked overflow in the overflow temporary storage groove 17 is discharged from the air outlet 19 to a designated safe container through the air inlet 18 filled with air, thereby avoiding the overflow of the leaked gas.
[0038] The air inlet 18 and the air outlet 19 can be provided with an inductive pressure gauge and other early warning devices. Once the air inlet 18 and the air outlet 19 overflow, the early warning device generates a warning. At this time, the high-pressure high-risk fluid medium in the inlet pipe 1 can be quickly cut off and stopped to avoid the overflow of the leaked high-risk gas.
[0039] The mechanical arm 5 is rotatably and fixedly installed with the inlet pipe 1. The mechanical arm 5 moves in position and space when the inlet pipe 1 is connected with the valve body 2, or the inlet pipe 1 on the mechanical arm 5 is replaced to realize the automatic closed connection with the corresponding valve body 2.
