[0040] When the refueling platform is not used, the aircraft refueling equipment such as the lifting body 3 and the folding refueling arm 4 is located in the ground well pit body 1, and the well cover body 26 seals the ground well pit body 1, so that the apron space is not additionally occupied, and the possibility of interference between the refueling platform and other equipment of the airport is reduced; when the aircraft parked at the airport needs to be refueled, the lifting mechanism 6 drives the lifting body 3 to drive the folding refueling arm 4 to extend out of the ground well pit body 1, and since the movable connecting arm 5 has a certain movability, the position of the folding refueling arm 4 can be adapted, the communication between the folding refueling arm 4 and the refueling unit 2 is ensured, then the folding refueling arm 4 is taken off from the lifting body 3 and extended to the aircraft fuel port for connection, then the fuel conveyed by the pre-buried oil pipe is filtered and treated by the refueling unit 2, then the fuel treated by filtering is conveyed into the aircraft fuel port by the movable connecting arm 5 and the folding refueling arm 4, and refueling is realized; after refueling is completed, the folding refueling arm 4 is taken off from the aircraft fuel port and is folded and stored on the lifting body 3, then the lifting body 3 is driven to lower and store in the ground well pit body 1, and by arranging the refueling point at a position close to the aircraft fuel port, the operation intensity of the operator can be effectively reduced, and the refueling efficiency is improved to a certain extent.
[0041] With reference to Figure 1 andFigure 2 In order to facilitate the folding of the oiling arm 4, the lifting body 3 is provided with a connecting table 20, which is located below the well lid body 26, and the folding oiling arm 4 is located between the connecting table 20 and the well lid body 26. Specifically, the folding oiling arm 4 comprises a connecting pipe 41, an elbow pipe 42, a folding pipe 43, a joint pipe 44 and an oiling joint 45, wherein the connecting pipe 41 is fixedly provided on the connecting table 20 of the lifting body 3 in the vertical direction, the connecting pipe 41 is located on the side of the lifting body 3 close to the oiling unit 2, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 41 is used for communication with the movable connecting arm 5.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the folding pipe 43 is provided with a plurality of folding pipes 43, which are sequentially communicated between the plurality of folding pipes 43, and the adjacent folding pipes 43 are rotationally connected through the second rotary joint 8. The length of the plurality of folding pipes 43 can be designed to be the same or different according to the needs. Specifically, each folding pipe 43 is Z-shaped, the folding pipe 43 at one end of the plurality of folding pipes 43 is communicated with the elbow pipe 42 through the third rotary joint 9, and the folding pipe 43 at the other end is communicated with the joint pipe 44 through the fourth rotary joint 10. Further, the rotation axis of the second rotary joint 8 is parallel to the rotation axis of the third rotary joint 9, and the rotation axis of the third rotary joint 9 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first rotary joint 7. The rotation axis of the fourth rotary joint 10 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first rotary joint 7 and the rotation axis of the second rotary joint 8, respectively. The oiling joint 45 is fixedly communicated on the joint pipe 44, and the oiling joint 45 is used for connecting with the aircraft oil port.
[0043] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , wherein the first rotary joint 7, the second rotary joint 8, the third rotary joint 9 and the fourth rotary joint 10 all adopt a pipeline rotary joint with high sealing performance and low rotary damping. At the same time, a corrosion-resistant material is used as the rotary sealing element of the rotary joint, so as to resist the long-term corrosion of oil. Further, the specific structure and principle of the first rotary joint 7, the second rotary joint 8, the third rotary joint 9 and the fourth rotary joint 10 all belong to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] When the aircraft is refueled, the folding refueling arm 4 is removed from the lifting body 3, and the plurality of folding pipes 43 are unfolded in turn, so that the plurality of folding pipes 43 can be laid flat and extended linearly in a direction away from the lifting body 3 on the apron ground, and the elbow pipe 42 can drive the plurality of folding pipes 43 to rotate along the connecting pipe 41 through the first rotary joint 7, so that the horizontal extension direction of the folding refueling arm 4 can be changed, and the joint pipe 44 can be rotated to a vertical state, a horizontal state or an inclined state, which is beneficial to the connection of the refueling connector 45 with the refueling port of the aircraft for refueling. Through the specific design of the folding refueling arm 4, the refueling port of the aircraft can be quickly connected, and the refueling efficiency is improved to a certain extent. Moreover, the plurality of pipe bodies are not prone to mutual entanglement.
[0045] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the adjacent folding pipes 43 are fixedly provided with springs 11. Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the springs 11, the two ends of each folding pipe 43 are fixedly provided with pins, and the two ends of each spring 11 are fixedly provided on the two pins close to each other in the adjacent folding pipes 43. When the angle between the adjacent folding pipes 43 is 180°, the spring 11 is in a stretched state. Through the provision of the plurality of springs 11, the springs 11 can provide assistance when the folding refueling arm 4 is recovered, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
[0046] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the plurality of folding pipes 43 away from the refueling connector 45 are fixedly provided with casters 12. Specifically, except for the folding pipe 43 directly connected with the joint pipe 44, the casters 12 are fixedly provided on the remaining folding pipes 43. When the angle between the adjacent folding pipes 43 is 180°, the casters 12 on the plurality of folding pipes 43 are located at the same end of the corresponding folding pipe 43 and the side close to the ground, i.e. when the plurality of folding pipes 43 are laid flat in a direction away from the lifting body 3 (with reference to Figure 3 ), the casters 12 on the folding pipes 43 are located at the side close to the ground.
[0047] Since the plurality of folding pipes 43 can be unfolded in a direction away from the lifting body 3, through the design of the plurality of casters 12, the plurality of folding pipes 43 can be supported, and the folding pipes 43 can be laid flat. Meanwhile, when the plurality of folding pipes 43 are laid on the ground, the casters 12 can avoid the folding pipes 43 from directly contacting the ground, thereby reducing the abrasion of the folding pipes 43 during movement and saving labor for stretching the folding pipes 43.
[0048] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 7The movable connecting arm 5 is located below the connecting table 20, and the movable connecting arm 5 comprises an input pipe 51, a conveying pipe 52 and an output pipe 53 for facilitating fuel transmission. The input pipe 51 is fixedly communicated with the fuel filling unit 2, and the output pipe 53 is fixedly communicated with the lower end of the connecting pipe 41. The conveying pipe 52 is provided with a plurality of pipes, and the lengths of the pipes can be designed to be the same or different according to requirements. The pipes are sequentially communicated with each other, and the adjacent pipes are rotatably connected through the fifth rotary joint 13, so that the adjacent pipes can rotate. The pipe at one end of the pipes is communicated with the input pipe 51 through the sixth rotary joint 14, and the pipe at the other end is communicated with the output pipe 53 through the seventh rotary joint 15.
[0049] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the rotation axes of the sixth rotary joint 14 and the seventh rotary joint 15 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first rotary joint 7. Further, the rotation axes of the fifth rotary joints 13 between the adjacent pipes can be designed to be different from each other, and at least one of the rotation axes of the fifth rotary joints 13 is parallel to the rotation axis of the seventh rotary joint 15. The structures and principles of the fifth rotary joint 13, the sixth rotary joint 14 and the seventh rotary joint 15 are the same as those of the first rotary joint 7.
[0050] Since the pipes are connected through the rotary joints between the conveying pipe 52 and the input pipe 51, between the adjacent pipes and between the conveying pipe 52 and the output pipe 53, and can be folded and stretched in the vertical direction, the pipes can adapt to the up-down movement of the folding fuel filling arm 4 and ensure the fuel transmission.
[0051] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the connecting pipe 41, the elbow pipe 42, the folding pipe 43, the joint pipe 44, the input pipe 51, the conveying pipe 52 and the output pipe 53 are all made of hard pipes, and further, the pipes are made of stainless steel pipes. Since the metal pipes have low friction coefficient and excellent conductivity, the pipes can effectively reduce the friction between the oil and the pipes, reduce the possibility of static electricity generation and reduce the risk of static spark. By using the hard pipes for the whole fuel conveying pipeline, the possibility of static electricity generation can be reduced, the safety can be improved, and the normal fuel filling operation can be ensured in extreme environments.
[0052] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 7The ground flat iron (not shown in the figure) is pre-embedded in the ground well pit body 1. Copper wires 16 are fixedly connected between the connecting pipe 41 and the elbow pipe 42, between the elbow pipe 42 and the corresponding folding pipe 43, between adjacent folding pipes 43, between the joint pipe 44 and the corresponding folding pipe 43, between the input pipe 51 and the corresponding conveying pipe 52, between adjacent conveying pipes 52, between the output pipe 53 and the corresponding conveying pipe 52, between the output pipe 53 and the connecting pipe 41, and between the input pipe 51 and the ground flat iron. By reserving the connection points at both ends of the stainless steel pipe and the arrangement of the copper wire 16, an electrical clamping mechanism is formed, which helps to ensure that the potential of all stainless steel pipes is consistent at any time, so that all stainless steel pipes are grounded, facilitating the timely discharge of static electricity generated by the flow and friction of oil, and greatly reducing the risk of refueling. The ground flat iron serves as a potential grounding point in the ground well pit body 1, which helps to keep the refueling pipeline in a good grounded state and achieve the effect of timely drainage of static electricity generated in the pipeline.
[0053] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 7 Further, the first rotary joint 7, the second rotary joint 8, the third rotary joint 9, the fourth rotary joint 10, the fifth rotary joint 13, the sixth rotary joint 14 and the seventh rotary joint 15 are all connected to the corresponding stainless steel pipes at both ends by copper belts, which helps to ensure good electrical conductivity of all stainless steel pipes.
[0054] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A plurality of clamping seats 17 are fixedly arranged on the lifting body 3, and the clamping seats 17 correspond one-to-one to the folding pipes 43. The clamping seats 17 can be elastic clamping seats, and are used to clampingly fix the folding pipes 43. When the folding pipes 43 are clamped in the corresponding clamping seats 17, the length direction of the folding pipes 43 is vertical. Through the design of the plurality of clamping seats 17, the folding refueling arm 4 can be locked on the lifting body 3, so that the folding refueling arm 4 is not easy to fall off or the like in the retracted state.
[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate the operation of the operator, a control operation panel (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the lifting body 3, and the refueling unit 2 is electrically connected with the control operation panel to provide convenience for refueling operation. Further, in order to facilitate the filtering treatment of fuel, the refueling unit 2 includes a filter, a booster pump and a flowmeter. The pre-embedded oil pipe, the filter, the booster pump and the movable connecting arm 5 are connected in sequence. The filter is used to filter fuel, the booster pump is used to increase fuel pressure, and the flowmeter is installed on the pipeline between the booster pump and the movable connecting arm 5 and is used to measure the flow of fuel. The filter, the booster pump and the flowmeter are all electrically connected with the control operation panel. In other embodiments, the refueling unit 2 can only use a filter, a control valve and the like.
[0056] Referring to Figure 1 andFigure 8 In order to improve the sliding effect of the lifting body 3, the opposite sides of the support 21 are provided with coaxial linear guides (not shown in the figure), and the lifting body 3 is sleeved on the two linear guides of the support 21, so as to facilitate the linear lifting movement of the lifting body 3 and improve the smoothness of the lifting.
[0057] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In order to drive the lifting of the lifting body 3, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a counterweight 61, a guide wheel 62 and a steel wire 63. The counterweight 61 corresponds to the support 21 one by one, the lifting body 3 is located between the two counterweights 61, the counterweight 61 is slidably arranged on the corresponding support 21 in the vertical direction, the steel wire 63 corresponds to the counterweight 61 one by one, one end of the steel wire 63 is fixed on the corresponding counterweight 61, the other end is fixed on the lower end of the lifting body 3, the guide wheel 62 corresponds to the support 21 one by one, the guide wheel 62 is installed on the corresponding support 21, and the steel wire 63 between the counterweight 61 and the lifting body 3 is slidably lapped on the corresponding side of the guide wheel 62; the sum of the gravity of the two counterweights 61 is greater than the sum of the gravity of the lifting body 3, the folding oil adding arm 4 and the well cover body 26, the counterweight 61 is used to lift the lifting body 3 out of the ground pit body 1; The first locking mechanism 22 is arranged on the well cover body 26 for locking or unlocking with the ground pit body 1.
[0058] When refueling is needed, the locking between the well cover body 26 and the ground pit body 1 is unlocked through the first locking mechanism 22. At this time, under the action of the gravity of the counterweight 61, the lifting body 3 is pulled through the steel wire 63 to drive the folding oil adding arm 4 to move out of the ground pit body 1, so as to facilitate the refueling; when the refueling is completed, the well cover body 26 is pressed manually, so that the lifting body 3 is lowered and withdrawn into the ground pit body 1, the lifting body 3 pulls the counterweight 61 upward through the steel wire 63, and then the well cover body 26 is locked with the ground pit body 1 through the first locking mechanism 22, so as to realize the closure of the ground pit body 1, reduce the operation difficulty of the operator, and improve the work efficiency.
[0059] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 9 Further, the first locking mechanism 22 can adopt a mechanical lock similar to a door lock structure, and the lock tongue is moved by a key or a manually pulled mechanical lock lever, so as to achieve unlocking; the abutment of the lock tongue with the ground pit body 1 can realize the locking of the well cover body 26 and limit the upward movement of the well cover body 26. Specifically, the principle and structure of the first locking mechanism 22 in the field of lifting well are prior art, which will not be described here.
[0060] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 9The well circle 18 is embedded on the ground well pit body 1, the upper surface of the well circle 18 is flush with the apron ground, the well circle 18 has an opening 19 for moving the lifting body 3 out or in, the well cover body 26 is used for closing or opening the opening 19 of the well circle 18, when the well cover body 26 closes the well circle 18, the upper surface of the well cover body 26 is flush with the apron ground; the well cover body 26 adopts a type of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, the bearing capacity reaches F900 level, the well cover body 26 can bear 90 tons, and meets the requirements of aircraft passing.
[0061] With reference to Figure 1 And Figure 9 The cross section of the bottom wall of the connecting table 20 is larger than that of the opening 19, the connecting table 20 is used for abutting against the bottom wall of the well circle 18, thereby automatically limiting the lifting height of the lifting body 3; the second locking mechanism 23 is designed on the connecting table 20, the second locking mechanism 23 on the connecting table 20 also adopts a mechanical lock, when the connecting table 20 abuts against the bottom wall of the well circle 18, the locking tongue of the second locking mechanism 23 on the connecting table 20 abuts against the upper surface of the well circle 18, the position of the lifting body 3 is limited, so that the lifting body 3 will not move downward under the action of external force, when the refueling is completed, the locking of the locking tongue of the second locking mechanism 23 on the connecting table 20 and the well circle 18 is manually released, so that the lifting body 3 can be lowered under the pressing of external force. Among them, the lifting height of the lifting body 3 is designed at a reasonable level according to needs, which can make the operator conveniently take out and retract the folding refueling arm 4, and also can facilitate the operator to control the refueling amount, refueling speed and the like on the control operation panel. The second locking mechanism 23 belongs to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0062] The implementation principle of the embodiment 1 of the application is that when the refueling platform is not used, the lifting body 3 and the folding refueling arm 4 and other refueling equipment are located in the ground well pit body 1, and the well cover body 26 seals the ground well pit body 1, so that the apron space is not additionally occupied, which helps to reduce the possibility of interference between the refueling platform and other equipment of the airport.
[0063] When the airport needs to refuel the stationary aircraft, the first locking mechanism 22 is manually operated to unlock the well cover body 26, and then under the action of the gravity of the counterweight 61, the counterweight 61 pulls the lifting body 3 through the steel rope 63 to drive the folding refueling arm 4 to move out of the well pit body 1, at this time the multiple delivery pipes 52 of the movable connecting arm 5 can change the posture to adapt to the position of the folding refueling arm 4, until the connecting table 20 abuts against the bottom wall of the well ring 18, and the locking tongue of the second locking mechanism 23 on the well ring 18 is locked with the upper surface of the well ring 18, the position of the lifting body 3 is locked; then the operating personnel take off the folding refueling arm 4 from the clamping seat 17 on the lifting body 3, and unfold the multiple folding pipes 43 in turn, under the support of the multiple casters 12, the folding pipes 43 can be placed horizontally, then pull the refueling connector 45 to connect with the aircraft fuel port, then connect the line between the aircraft shell and the ground well static grounding terminal, return to the lifting body 3 control operation panel, operate the control operation panel, make the fuel filtered by the fueling unit 2 pass through the movable connecting arm 5 and the folding refueling arm 4 to the aircraft fuel port, and realize refueling.
