Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fuel dispenser technology, specifically to an automatic calibration device for fuel dispensers. Background Technology
[0002] Fuel dispensers are core metering and supply equipment in fuel retail terminals, widely used in various fuel refueling stations. Their core function is to precisely deliver fuel from storage tanks to vehicles or other containers according to preset flow rates or quantitative requirements through an internal, sophisticated metering system and actuator. As a critical piece of equipment directly involved in trade settlement, the metering accuracy of fuel dispensers directly affects the interests of both operators and consumers. Therefore, they must possess stable flow control, accurate flow measurement, and reliable safety protection mechanisms. In daily operation, core components such as flow measurement converters, encoders, and solenoid valves inside the dispenser may experience metering deviations due to long-term use, environmental wear, or mechanical vibration. This necessitates regular verification and calibration to ensure that the output fuel quantity matches the displayed value, maintaining fair and orderly market transactions. In the current technical field, the calibration of fuel dispensers relies on manual labor to perform tasks such as grabbing and fixing the fuel nozzle, operating the trigger, and recovering fuel. This manual labor is labor-intensive, and the inconsistency of manual operation leads to fuel nozzle positioning deviations, insecure fixing, and inadequate simulation operations, resulting in significant calibration errors and affecting the accuracy and reliability of the calibration results. At the same time, manual calibration is inefficient, with a long calibration time for a single fuel dispenser, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, multi-batch calibration. Furthermore, manual operation requires direct contact with fuel, posing safety hazards such as fuel leakage and evaporation, threatening the personal safety of operators and the on-site environment.

[0034] As a preferred option, further, such as Figure 12As shown, the locking hook operation unit 6 includes: a second fixed base 61, a slot housing 62, a fixed gear 63, a sixth micro motor 64, a first gear rack 65, a transmission gear 66, a fixed rack 67, a second gear rack 68, and a locking hook pusher 69; the second fixed base 61 is fixedly installed on the front side of the rotating end of the bottom micro rotating module 5212 in the left-right direction, and the cross-sectional shape of the second fixed base 61 is U-shaped; the slot housing 62 is rotatably installed on the inner left side of the second fixed base 61 via a rotating shaft, and the slot housing 62 is generally in the shape of a cuboid slot, with a hollow interior, the right side of the inner cavity reserving space for the movement of the first gear rack 65, and the left side reserving space for the movement of the second gear rack 68; the fixed gear 63 is keyed to the locking hook pusher 69. In the middle right side of the inner cavity of the slot housing 62, a fixed gear 63 serves as the transmission core, forming a meshing transmission pair with the first gear carrier 65. This transmits the rotational power of the sixth micro motor 64 to the first gear carrier 65, converting it into linear motion. The sixth micro motor 64 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the outer surface of the second fixed base 61. The rotating end of the sixth micro motor 64 extends into the inner side of the second fixed base 61 and is fixedly connected to the axis of the slot housing 62.

The housing 62 rotates around a pivot, simultaneously driving the fixed gear 63 to rotate synchronously, and has overload protection and power-off self-locking functions. The first toothed bracket 65 is inserted into the right side of the inner cavity of the slot housing 62 in the left-right direction. The right side of the inner bottom end of the first toothed bracket 65 is provided with a toothed groove that meshes with the fixed gear 63. The first toothed bracket 65 can slide smoothly left and right along the slot housing 62, meshing with the fixed gear 63 through its own internal toothed groove, and moving along the outer side of the fixed gear 63. At the same time, it carries the transmission gear 66, playing the role of power transmission and motion guidance. The transmission gear 66 is rotatably mounted on the inner left end of the first toothed bracket 65 through a pivot.

The fixed rack 67 meshes with the transmission gear 66 and provides a fixed meshing reference for the transmission gear 66. When the first gear carrier 65 drives the transmission gear 66 to move left and right, the transmission gear 66 rotates under the meshing action of the fixed rack 67, thereby driving the second gear carrier 68 to move. The second gear carrier 68 is inserted into the left side of the inner cavity of the slot housing 62 in the left-right direction. The upper inner side of the second gear carrier 68 is provided with a tooth groove that meshes with the transmission gear 66.The locking hook pusher 69 is fixedly installed at the left end of the second toothed frame 68.

The flexible material prevents scratching the oil gun locking hook and increases the contact area, ensuring no slippage or deviation during the pushing process.
[0035] The working principle is as follows: Step 1: The staff sends a start command to the controller 3 through the operation panel. The controller 3 activates the internal pre-made control program and starts the mobile chassis 1. The mobile chassis 1 moves smoothly along the preset navigation route based on its own walking mechanism and arrives at the external designated calibration station of the fuel dispenser to be calibrated, ensuring that the whole device is adapted to the position of the fuel dispenser nozzle. Step 2: After the equipment is in place, the controller 3 synchronously starts the gripping robotic arm 8, the first electric telescopic rod 4104, the first micro motor 4203, the second micro motor 4205, the third micro motor 4207, the fourth micro motor 4217, the fifth micro motor 4310, and the first micro electric telescopic rod 4308. Each component works in coordination according to the preset logic. Among them, the gripping robotic arm 8 drives the end clamping execution end to move to the preset clamping position outside the fuel dispenser nozzle through the internal multi-axis linkage structure. The opening and closing action of the clamping execution end realizes the clamping of the fuel dispenser nozzle. After clamping, the gripping robotic arm 8 drives the fuel dispenser nozzle to move to the preset calibration station below the calibration mechanism 4, accurately aligns with the top interface of the connector 44, and slowly inserts the fuel dispenser nozzle into the connector 44, ensuring a tight seal to prevent fuel leakage during the calibration process and ensure calibration accuracy. Step 3: The first electric telescopic rod 4104 is started. Through the telescopic action of its own telescopic end, it drives the connector 4106 to move synchronously. Under the transmission action of the connector 4106, combined with the longitudinal constraint and limiting action of the first limiting component 4103, it drives the double-layer mounting base 4105 to rise and fall along the vertical slot frame 4101 to the specified height, so that the handle fixing component 42 and the external fixing component 43 are accurately aligned with the handle part of the oil gun and the outside of the gun body respectively. Step 4: Regarding the fixing of the oil gun handle, the folding adjustment component of the handle fixing part 42 is activated first: the first micro motor 4203 drives the first rotating arm 4202 to rotate clockwise downwards or counterclockwise upwards to a preset tilt angle, with the rotating shaft on the inner side of the fixing base 4201 as the axis. Simultaneously, the second micro motor 4205 drives the second rotating arm 4204 to adjust the tilt angle in the same or opposite direction, with the rotating shaft at the other end of the first rotating arm 4202 as the axis. The third micro motor 4207 drives the rotating seat 4206 to rotate with the rotating shaft at the end of the second rotating arm 4204 as the axis. Through the three-degree-of-freedom linkage adjustment of the first rotating arm 4202, the second rotating arm 4204, and the rotating seat 4206, the fixing component is moved to the corresponding position on the outside of the oil gun handle. Subsequently, the fourth micro motor 4217 is activated, driving... The corresponding drive rod 4216 rotates clockwise upward around the hinge point with the mounting base 4208. Under the synchronous and coordinated action of the drive rod 4216 on the other side, the drive rods 4216 on both sides drive one end of the first connecting rod 4215 at both ends to move upward synchronously. The other end of the first connecting rod 4215 drives the second connecting seat 4214 to slide upward along the inner cavity of the slot cylinder 4209 and compresses the compression spring 4213. The second connecting seat 4214 synchronously drives the first connecting seat 4210 below to move upward, thereby driving the two-finger gripper 4211 and the single-finger gripper 4212 to rotate inward around their respective hinge points with the inner side of the mounting base 4208, simulating the action of a human hand gripping, realizing stable clamping of the oil gun handle, and ensuring that the oil gun does not shift during subsequent simulated operations. Step 5: While the handle is fixed, the external fixing component 43 simultaneously fixes the oil gun body: the fifth micro motors 4310 on the front and rear sides are started respectively, driving the corresponding rotating rods 4311 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotating rods 4311 drive the parallelogram transmission structure composed of the third limiting rod 4312 and the second connecting rod 4313 to move. Relying on the structural characteristics of the parallelogram mechanism's linkage and constant posture, the rotating rods 4311 drive the second connecting rods 4313 on both sides to move synchronously in the same direction under the guidance and limiting action of the third limiting rod 4312. This causes the buffer pads 4314 on the inner side of the second connecting rods 4313 on both sides to unfold outward, increasing the distance between the upper and lower buffer pads 4314, adapting to the gun body size of different specifications of oil guns, and improving the fixation. To ensure range and stability, the first miniature electric telescopic rod 4308 is activated, and its piston rod extends to drive the drive seat 4307 to move smoothly to the left along the inner cavity of the tank shell 4301. The drive seat 4307 drives the front and rear moving frames 4305 to move forward synchronously. Under the guidance and limiting action of the second limiting rod 4304, the moving frames 4305 drive the front and rear driving frames 4306 to move inward synchronously. Under the constraint and limiting action of the first limiting rod 4303, the driving frames 4306 drive the mounting plates 4309 on both sides to move precisely to both sides of the vertical outer wall of the oil gun, so that the buffer pad 4314 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the oil gun, thereby achieving auxiliary fixation of the oil gun body. Together with the handle fixing component 42, it forms a multi-dimensional fixing structure between the handle and the gun body, ensuring that the oil gun remains absolutely stable during subsequent calibration. Step 6: After the fuel nozzle is fully secured, the controller 3 switches to the calibration mode, simultaneously starting the drive motor 5103, the micro rotation module 5212, the third micro electric telescopic rod 5210, the second micro electric telescopic rod 5205, the sixth micro motor 64, the calibration sensor 45, and the fuel recovery device 7. All components work together to complete the simulated operation of the fuel nozzle and the fuel calibration process. The drive motor 5103 starts, and its output shaft drives the lead screw of the lead screw assembly 5102 to rotate uniformly around its own axis, according to the principle of screw transmission. The rotation of the lead screw is converted into the longitudinal linear motion of the lead screw nut, which in turn drives the movable seat 5201 connected to the lead screw nut to move up and down along the outer guide rail of the guide rod frame 5101 until the movable seat 5201 is precisely aligned with the preset operating position of the oil gun trigger. The micro rotation module 5212 is activated, driving the second fixed seat 61 to rotate around its own axis, which in turn drives the locking hook operation unit 6 to adjust its overall posture, so that the locking hook pusher 69 in the locking hook operation unit 6 is precisely aligned with the position of the oil gun locking hook, preparing for the subsequent locking operation. Step 7: The third miniature electric telescopic rods 5210 on the upper and lower sides are started simultaneously. Their piston rods extend and drive the telescopic frame 5209 at the corresponding position to extend forward along the inner cavity of the slot seat 5208, so that the trigger bracket 5211 at the front end of the top telescopic frame 5209 is inserted under the oil gun trigger. At the same time, the locking hook operation unit 6 at the front end of the bottom telescopic frame 5209 moves to the top of the oil gun locking hook, completing the precise alignment of the operating components. Step 8: The second miniature electric telescopic rod 5205 is activated, and its piston rod extends to drive the conical seat 5206 to move forward. Since the conical seat 5206 has a conical structure, its inclined surface is in close contact with the spring ball 5207 at the bottom of the lifting seat 5204. As the conical seat 5206 moves forward, the spring ball 5207 rolls upward along the inclined surface of the conical seat 5206, thereby generating an upward pushing force on the lifting seat 5204. Under the longitudinal limiting action of the second limiting component 5203, the lifting seat 5204 moves upward smoothly. Through the transmission action of the upper slot seat 5208 and the telescopic frame 5209, the trigger bracket 5211 is driven to lift the oil gun trigger upward, accurately simulating the action of manually pulling the trigger and triggering the oil gun to open. Step 9: The sixth micro motor 64 starts, driving the slot housing 62 to rotate downward around the hinge point with the second fixed seat 61. During the rotation of the slot housing 62, the fixed gear 63 inside it forms a meshing transmission pair with the first toothed frame 65. Under the action of the meshing driving force, the first toothed frame 65, which forms a moving pair with the slot housing 62, extends outward along the guide direction of the slot housing 62. Since the second toothed frame 68 and the first toothed frame 65 form a rotary linkage structure through the transmission gear 66, the constraint of this kinematic pair is coupled through the meshing transmission of the transmission gear 66 and the fixed rack 67, driving the second toothed frame 68, which forms a moving pair with the slot housing 62, to move outward in a straight line along the guide direction of the slot housing 62. After the second toothed frame 68 extends out of the inner cavity of the slot housing 62, it drives the locking hook pusher 69 to make close contact with the oil gun locking hook and continuously applies a pushing force to press it into the preset locking position, simulating the operation of manually locking the oil gun, ensuring that the oil gun continues to dispense oil and ensuring the continuity of the inspection operation. Step 10: After the fuel nozzle is triggered and turned on, the external fuel dispenser starts the normal fuel supply process. Fuel is injected into the connector 44 through the fuel nozzle nozzle and flows into the inlet of the calibration sensor 45. The calibration sensor 45 accurately detects the key parameters of the fuel flowing inside in real time, including fuel pressure, fuel injection speed, fuel flow rate, etc., and transmits the detected electrical signals to the controller 3 in real time. The controller 3 completes the data collection, analysis and storage to form a calibration data record. After the calibration is completed, the fuel flows out from the outlet of the calibration sensor 45 and is transported to the fuel recovery equipment 7 through the preset pipeline for sealed storage, realizing closed-loop fuel recovery. Step 11: When the calibration sensor 45 completes the preset duration of detection and the controller 3 records all calibration data, the calibration operation is completed. The controller 3 starts the reset program, and the third micro electric telescopic rods 5210 on the upper and lower sides start synchronously. Their telescopic ends shorten, driving the telescopic frame 5209 to retract to the initial position along the inner cavity of the slot seat 5208. This drives the trigger bracket 5211 and the locking hook operation unit 6 to retract synchronously, releasing the operation state of the oil gun trigger and the locking hook. The fourth micro motor 4217 starts in reverse, driving the drive rod 4216 to rotate in reverse. At this time, the compression spring 4213 resets under the action of its own elastic potential energy, pushing the second connecting seat 4214 and the first connecting seat 4210 to move downward, thereby driving the two-finger gripper 4211 and the single-finger gripper 4212 to rotate outward, releasing the clamping and fixing of the oil gun handle. Step 12: The first miniature electric telescopic rod 4308 is activated, its telescopic end shortens, driving the drive seat 4307 to move to the right along the inner cavity of the tank shell 4301, driving the front and rear moving frames 4305 and drive frames 4306 to reset outwards simultaneously, so that the mounting plate 4309 drives the buffer pad 4314 to disengage from the outer wall of the oil gun, completely releasing the fixed constraint on the oil gun body. The first electric telescopic rod 4104 moves in the opposite direction, driving the double-layer mounting seat 4105, the handle fixing component 42 and the external fixing component 43 to descend to the initial height, completing the reset of the calibration mechanism 4; Step 13: After the fixed constraints are released, the gripping robotic arm 8 starts, grips the oil gun above the connector 44, slowly pulls the oil gun nozzle out of the connector 44, and then drives the oil gun to the oil gun placement position of the fuel dispenser, and smoothly puts the oil gun back to its original position, completing the oil gun return operation. Step 14: The staff opens the drain valve of the fuel recovery device 7 and injects the calibration fuel stored inside the device back into the fuel storage chamber of the fuel dispenser through a special pipeline to realize the recycling of fuel. After the injection is completed, the drain valve is closed, and the staff closes all the actuators through the controller 3. The equipment returns to standby mode and waits for the next calibration operation.
