[0045] Further, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the other end of the fixed pipe 703 is fixedly connected to the first hose 704. The first hose 704 is fixedly connected to the air guide assembly 9 away from the fixed pipe 703. The first hose 704 is rotated to cooperate with the three-dimensional rotating pipe head 16 to cooperate with the auxiliary guide pipe 905 to change the position during the docking process, so as to be connected to the ship tank.
[0046] In example 2, the marine low-temperature fluid loading and unloading arm provided in example 1 is further optimized. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the auxiliary connecting assembly 8 includes an inner tube 804 movably mounted at the other end of the three-dimensional rotary pipe head 16, and an upper rack ring 806 movably connected to the inner wall of the inner tube 804. The inner wall of the upper rack ring 806 is uniformly and fixedly connected with three positioning rack plates 805, and the other ends of the three positioning rack plates 805 are connected with each other. The one side of the positioning rack plate 805 is movably connected with an elastic hinge 808, and the other end of the elastic hinge 808 is movably mounted with a sector plate 809. The ends of the three sector plates 809 away from the positioning rack plate 805 are close to each other, and the three sector plates 809 form a similar frustum structure to facilitate the rough butt joint operation. The end of the upper rack ring 806 close to the three-dimensional rotary pipe head 16 is fixedly connected with an auxiliary spring 807.

Since there is a certain deviation during butt joint, the arc edges of the three sector plates 809 form a similar frustum structure to contact the pipeline. If the edges are not aligned, only one or two sector plates 809 will be pressed, and the butt joint will be easily deviated. When the three-dimensional position of the three-dimensional rotary pipe head 16 and the position of the inner tube 804 are adjusted for preliminary butt joint, the three sector plates 809 are pressed to rotate through the elastic hinge 808, so that the three sector plates 809 contact the three positioning rack plates 805 to form a plane, and the inner tube 804 is separated from the pipeline in the ship tank.
[0047] The three sector plates 809 in the inner tube 804 are used for butt joint with the pipeline in the ship tank. The three sector plates 809 form a similar frustum structure after turning to perform rough butt joint with the pipeline, and the three sector plates 809 are turned through the elastic hinge 808 to form a plane with the three positioning rack plates 805 to separate the inner tube 804 from the pipeline. Thus, the three sector plates 809 form a frustum structure to perform rough butt joint with the pipeline in the ship tank, so as to protect the inner tube 804 of the loading and unloading arm, and the three sector plates 809 form a plane with the rack plate after turning to separate, so as to prevent impurities from entering during the unloading process.
[0048] Further, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The other end of the auxiliary spring 807 is fixedly connected with a positioning ring 810, and the outer wall of the positioning ring 810 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the inner tube 804. When the pipeline in the ship tank enters during butt joint, it will first contact the upper rack ring 806 and press the auxiliary spring 807 to shrink, so as to cooperate with the pressure during butt joint and continuously compensate the dynamic movement of the ship to absorb most of the alternating stress.

[0051] By pulling the auxiliary guide pipe 905 away from the tank, extrusion positioning spring 903 shrink, and then actuating the pulley ring 902 between the outer ring plate 901 and the inner ring plate 906, so as to change the position of the auxiliary guide pipe 905 to make it align with the gas valve pipe, release the auxiliary guide pipe 905, the positioning spring 903 push the auxiliary guide pipe 905 and the gas valve pipe connected, so as to be able to quickly connect the gas phase pipe 705, to ensure the efficiency of the crude oil loading and unloading.

[0055] The use process of the marine low-temperature fluid loading and unloading arm provided by the application is as follows:
[0056] Working principle: after the ship is berthed, the loading and unloading arm is in the "rest position", usually in the state of being lifted and withdrawn, the operator drives and controls the inner arm tube 13 and the outer arm tube 6 through the control system to move the three-dimensional rotating tube head 16 at the end to the front of the tanker pipeline.
[0057] Oil pipe butt joint: after the three-dimensional rotating tube head 16 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the inner tube 804 is contacted with the pipeline in the ship tank by the sector plate 809, and the arc edges of the three sector plates 809 are close to each other, since there is a certain deviation during the butt joint process, the arc edges of the three sector plates 809 form a conical frustum structure to contact the pipeline, if the edges are not aligned, only one or two sector plates 809 will be pressed and deviated, after the three-dimensional position of the three-dimensional rotating tube head 16 and the position of the inner tube 804 are adjusted to preliminarily butt joint, the three sector plates 809 are pressed to rotate by the elastic hinge 808, so that the three sector plates 809 and the three positioning frame plates 805 form a plane, and the inner tube 804 and the pipeline of the ship tank are separated.
[0058] Gas phase butt joint: in the unlocked state of the butt joint, the auxiliary guide pipe 905 is pulled to drive the fixed ring 904 to extrude the positioning spring 903 to shrink, drive the guide pipe to move away from the ship tank, after a certain gap is formed, the auxiliary guide pipe 905 is actuated, the pulley ring 902 slides between the inner ring plate 906 and the outer ring plate 901, the position of the auxiliary guide pipe 905 is changed, the auxiliary guide pipe 905 is connected with the gas valve pipe of the shore tank, after completion, the auxiliary guide pipe 905 is released, the positioning spring 903 is released, the fixed ring 904 pushes the auxiliary guide pipe 905 into the gas valve pipe, and the side tube 11 of the outer wall of the column tube 5 is connected with the gas valve pipe of the shore tank.
[0059] Unloading: in the process of loading and unloading crude oil materials, the pump body in the shore warehouse is started to suck crude oil through the three-dimensional rotating pipe head 16, first through the inner pipe 804, then impact the fan-shaped plate 809 to the three-dimensional rotating pipe head 16 through the elastic hinge 808, open the loading and unloading process, and in the process of stopping oil transportation, the elastic hinge 808 loses the pressure generated by the crude oil passing through, the fan-shaped plate 809 reversely flips and contacts with the positioning plate 805 to form a plane to separate, and the crude oil passing through the inner pipe 804 enters the shore warehouse through the outer arm pipe 6, the inner arm pipe 13, the detachable elbow 15, the column pipe 5 and the side pipe 11, so as to unload the crude oil materials in the ship tank to the shore warehouse. The three-dimensional rotating pipe head 16 of the loading and unloading arm allows it to follow within a certain range, absorbs these displacements and moments, and avoids causing excessive stress on the equipment or ship.
[0060] Gas phase balance: as the crude oil liquid in the ship tank gradually decreases, the air pressure of the ship tank becomes lower and lower, and as the crude oil liquid in the shore warehouse gradually increases, the air pressure of the shore warehouse becomes higher and higher.
