Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a sampling container placement device for ships. Background Technology

[0002] Designated sampling points must be established on board ships to collect representative, in-use fuel oil samples. There should be multiple sampling points, including those for main engines, auxiliary engines, boiler burners, emergency generators, and other equipment.

[0003] Currently, ship designs do not consider the placement of sampling containers. After delivery, crew members can only collect samples by hand using the sampling container. If sampling is conducted during navigation, sudden rocking of the ship may prevent crew members from keeping the sampling container aligned with the sampling tube, causing the sampled liquid to spill outside the container, making sampling difficult. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to operate when the sampling point is located below the steel plate.

[0004] Therefore, a sampling container placement device for ships is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sampling container placement device for ships, which reduces the difficulty of sampling and improves the convenience of sampling.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A sampling container placement device for ships, including:

[0008] An adsorption and fixing component, which can adsorb and fix to the lower end face of a steel plate;

[0009] A connecting component is connected to the adsorption and fixing component, and the connecting component is rotatable relative to the adsorption and fixing component;

[0010] An oil tray having a hollow receiving cavity, the oil tray being fixedly disposed at the end of the connecting assembly away from the adsorption and fixing assembly;

[0011] A sleeve is fixedly disposed in the receiving cavity, and the sleeve is used to fix the sampling container.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adsorption and fixing assembly includes a magnet and a fixing shaft, one end of the fixing shaft is connected to the magnet, and the other end of the fixing shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly.

[0013] In some embodiments, a bearing is fixedly sleeved on the fixed shaft, and the outer ring of the bearing is connected to the connecting assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes a first connector and a second connector that are interconnected, the first connector being rotatably connected to the adsorption and fixing assembly, and the second connector being connected to the oil pan.

[0015] In some embodiments, a first groove is formed on the first connector along the extending direction of the first connector, and a positioning hole is formed on the second connector. A bolt can pass through the first groove and the positioning hole to connect with a nut to lock the relative position of the first connector and the second connector.

[0016] In some embodiments, the second connector is provided with a liquid level detection device, which is used to detect the liquid level in the sampling container.

[0017] In some embodiments, the liquid level detection device includes a liquid level sensor and an alarm that are electrically connected to each other, the liquid level sensor being disposed on the second connector.

[0018] In some embodiments, a second groove is formed on the second connector along the extending direction of the second connector, and a fastener passes through the second groove to connect with the liquid level sensor.

[0019] In some embodiments, a lighting lamp is also included, which is disposed on the connection assembly.

[0020] In some embodiments, a fixing member is provided in the oil pan, and the fixing member is connected to the sleeve.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] This invention provides a sampling container placement device for ships. An adsorption and fixing component is adsorbed and fixed to the lower end face of a steel plate. A connecting component is connected to the adsorption and fixing component and can rotate relative to it. An oil pan is fixed at the end of the connecting component away from the adsorption and fixing component. A sleeve for fixing the sampling container is provided in the receiving cavity of the oil pan. During navigation, ships generally have small pitch and roll angles, which have little impact on sampling, but large heel angles can sometimes affect sampling. To prevent the sampled liquid from flowing out during heeling and rolling, the connecting component is rotatably connected to the adsorption and fixing component, which can counteract the effects of the ship's tilt. Under the action of gravity, the sampling container located in the sleeve can be kept horizontal, thereby preventing the liquid sample from flowing out. Moreover, by setting the position of the sampling container with the sleeve, the difficulty of sampling is reduced and the convenience of sampling is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0034] In the process of sampling fuel oil on ships, in order to reduce the difficulty of sampling and improve the convenience of sampling, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a sampling container placement device for ships. The sampling container placement device for ships includes an adsorption and fixing component 1, a connecting component 2, an oil pan 3, and a sleeve 4.

[0035] The adsorption and fixing component 1 is capable of adsorbing and fixing onto the lower end face of the steel plate. The connecting component 2 is connected to the adsorption and fixing component 1 and is rotatable relative to the adsorption and fixing component 1. The oil pan 3 has a hollow receiving cavity and is fixedly disposed at the end of the connecting component 2 away from the adsorption and fixing component 1. The sleeve 4 is fixedly disposed in the receiving cavity and is used to fix the sampling container 7.

[0036] During navigation, ships generally have small pitch and roll angles, which have little impact on sampling. However, larger heel angles can sometimes affect sampling. To prevent liquid leakage during heeling and rolling, the connecting assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the adsorption and fixing assembly 1, which can counteract the effects of ship tilting. Under the influence of gravity, the sampling container 7 located in the sleeve 4 can be kept horizontal, thus preventing liquid leakage. Furthermore, by fixing the position of the sampling container 7 in the sleeve 4, the difficulty of sampling is reduced, and the convenience of sampling is improved.

[0037] In some embodiments, a fixing member 31 is fixedly provided in the oil pan 3, and the fixing member 31 is connected to the sleeve 4. By providing the fixing member 31, the sleeve 4 can be further supported, ensuring the stability of the sleeve 4 after it is connected to the oil pan 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, the adsorption and fixing assembly 1 includes a magnet 11 and a fixing shaft 12. One end of the fixing shaft 12 is connected to the magnet 11, and the other end of the fixing shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 2. By using the magnet 11, it can be adsorbed onto the lower end surface of the steel plate on the ship, thereby realizing the installation of the ship sampling container placement device in a set position. After use, simply forcefully separate the magnet 11 from the steel plate. In other embodiments, a suction cup or electromagnet can also be used, without further limitations.

[0039] In some embodiments, a bearing 13 is fixedly sleeved on the fixed shaft 12, and the outer ring of the bearing 13 is connected to the connecting assembly 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the bearing 13 is a non-magnetic stainless steel thrust ball bearing. By setting the bearing 13, the frictional force of relative rotation between the fixed shaft 12 and the connecting assembly 2 can be reduced. Under the action of the gravity of the oil pan 3 and the connecting assembly 2, the sampling container 7 located in the sleeve 4 of the oil pan 3 can be kept in a horizontal state, thereby effectively preventing the sampled liquid from flowing out during the sampling process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 2 includes a first connecting member 21 and a second connecting member 22 that are connected to each other. The first connecting member 21 is rotatably connected to the adsorption and fixing assembly 1, and the second connecting member 22 is connected to the oil pan 3. By providing the first connecting member 21, it is convenient to rotatably connect with the adsorption and fixing assembly 1, and by providing the second connecting member 22, it is convenient to install and fix the oil pan 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, a first slot 211 is formed on the first connector 21 along its extending direction, and a positioning hole is formed on the second connector 22. A bolt 23 can pass through the first slot 211 and the positioning hole to connect with a nut 24, thereby locking the relative positions of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. With this configuration, the length of the connecting assembly 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs simply by adjusting the position of the bolt 23 in the first slot 211, thus adapting to sampling at different sampling points. Furthermore, using the bolt 23 in conjunction with the nut 24 to fix the relative positions of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0042] In some embodiments, a liquid level detection device is fixedly installed on the second connector 22. The liquid level detection device is used to detect the liquid level in the sampling container 7. By installing the liquid level detection device, the sampled liquid can be detected in real time, and when the set sampling liquid level is reached, the sampling personnel can be reminded to stop sampling in time. By adopting the above method, the labor intensity of the sampling personnel can be reduced.

[0043] In some embodiments, the liquid level detection device includes a liquid level sensor 5 and an alarm electrically connected to each other, with the liquid level sensor 5 disposed on the second connector 22. The liquid level sensor 5 can monitor the liquid level in the sampling container 7 in real time. When the liquid level in the sampling container 7 rises to a set level, the liquid level sensor 5 transmits a signal to the alarm, which is then triggered to alert the sampling personnel to close the sampling valve in a timely manner.

[0044] In some embodiments, a second slot 221 is formed on the second connector 22 along its extending direction, and a fastener passes through the second slot 221 to connect with the liquid level sensor 5. When not in use, the liquid level sensor 5 is at the highest position of the second slot 221. However, when needed, after the sampling container 7 is in place, the fastener is loosened, the liquid level sensor 5 is adjusted downwards, and then the fastener is tightened after stopping at the position where the liquid level alarm needs to be triggered. Through the above settings, the alarm position triggered by the liquid level sensor 5 can be flexibly set.

[0045] In some embodiments, the marine sampling container placement device further includes a lighting lamp 6, which is mounted on the second connector 22 of the connecting assembly 2. In some areas under the steel plate, the lighting is dim, making it difficult to observe the liquid level in the sampling container 7. By providing a self-powered lighting lamp 6, the sampling process can be observed at any time without the need for an external light source.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
