Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical sampling equipment technology, specifically a sampling device for inside a tank truck. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, tank truck sampling in China is mostly done manually, posing significant safety and environmental hazards. Sampling personnel are in close contact with hazardous liquids, increasing the risk of suffocation, poisoning, falls, and other accidents, resulting in extremely high safety risks. Due to space limitations within the tank, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control the sampling location and depth, leading to insufficient sample representativeness and failing to meet sampling requirements at specific depths. Furthermore, the sampling process requires repeated climbing and frequent operations, resulting in high labor intensity and making it unsuitable for large-scale, high-frequency operations. In addition, leakage, evaporation, and residual liquid discharge frequently occur during operation, causing environmental pollution and failing to meet the safety and environmental protection standards of modern chemical industries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce automated and closed-loop sampling technologies to reduce personnel risks, improve sampling accuracy and efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and promote the industry's safe and green transformation.

The manual lever is used to insert into the groove for fixation.
[0015] The liquid receiving hopper assembly includes a sampling bucket, a top cover, and a bottom plate, with a sampling container placed inside the sampling bucket.
[0016] The liquid receiving hopper assembly cooperates with the rotating liquid collecting mechanism. The rotating liquid collecting hood mechanism includes a rotating cylinder, a flange, a rotating cylinder mounting base, a connecting base, a standard flat key, a set screw, and a connecting shaft. The rotating cylinder mounting base is provided on the vertical motion beam, and the rotating cylinder is installed on the rotating cylinder mounting base.

[0020] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] The designed liquid receiving hopper assembly structure securely holds the sampling container during operation. The manual lever is inserted downwards at an angle into the rotating positioning seat. This design ensures that even when the mechanism is submerged in liquid and subjected to buoyancy, the manual lever can still be held in place by gravity against the groove of the support rod, preventing it from moving freely and becoming loose. This, in turn, secures the rotating seat and prevents the sampling container from floating out, ensuring reliability during sampling. Furthermore, all parts can be manufactured using PP material, making it suitable for corrosive liquids and increasing its versatility.
[0022] The designed liquid receiving hopper assembly is easy to operate. The rotating positioning seat and the manual lever can rotate on the support rod. When placing the sampling container, simply rotate the manual lever to rotate the rotating positioning seat to a certain angle and push it to the sampling port. Then push the manual lever inward to push it into the groove of the support rod to securely fix the sampling container. When removing the sampling container, simply pull the manual lever outward and rotate the rotating positioning seat to a certain angle to smoothly remove the sampling container.
[0023] The designed anti-collision shield assembly can protect the liquid receiving hopper assembly and sampling container from collisions. The anti-collision shield is equipped with a proximity switch sensing signal mechanism, which can detect the collision with the tank opening due to alignment deviation in time and stop the descent process, thus ensuring the safety of the system.
[0024] The rotating liquid collection hood mechanism ensures reliable collection of residual liquid during sampling. A gear-driven rotary cylinder rotates the liquid collection hood assembly to the outside, after which a vertical motion beam descends. This design ensures that the rotational movement of the liquid collection hood does not affect the downward extension and retraction of the receiving hopper, while effectively collecting residual liquid and preventing environmental pollution.
[0025] The positioning cover mechanism is equipped with a proximity switch sensing signal mechanism. When the vertical beam descends to the position of the tank opening, the positioning cover mechanism will contact the tank opening in time to sense and stop the descent of the vertical beam. The operating cylinder drives the liquid receiving hopper assembly to descend to the specified stroke of the cylinder. This structural design can realize the positioning and identification of vehicles with different tank opening heights to ensure that the sampling depth at the tank opening is consistent and the sampling state is consistent.
[0026] This device primarily enables automatic sampling. The sampling process in this automated tanker truck sampling device is fully automated. After the positioning system identifies the tank opening position, the control system controls a servo motor to drive the rotating support assembly, causing the horizontal moving beam to rotate around the column to a specific angle. Simultaneously, the vertical moving beam assembly, controlled by a servo motor, can move horizontally to the tank opening position. Then, a gear-driven rotary cylinder rotates the liquid collection hood assembly to the outside, and the servo motor drives the vertical moving beam to descend. During descent, the positioning hood assembly touches the tank opening, triggering a proximity switch signal. This signals the cylinder to drive the liquid receiving hopper assembly to a certain depth inside the tank opening, where the liquid sample is placed into the sampling container fixed in the liquid receiving hopper. After sampling for a specified time, the control cylinder automatically raises the liquid receiving hopper assembly to its position. Then, the gear-driven rotary cylinder rotates the liquid collection hood assembly to the bottom of the receiving hopper to collect residual liquid. Finally, the horizontal and vertical moving beam assemblies return to their original positions. This automated tanker truck sampling device features a fully automated sampling process. The liquid receiving hopper assembly is designed for ease of operation, offering a high degree of automation, improving sampling efficiency, and reducing labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0055] The working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0056] First, the operator places the sampling container 60 into the sampling bucket 6 of the liquid receiving hopper assembly, and drives the manual lever 64 to rotate the rotating positioning seat to a certain angle and push it to the opening of the sampling container 60.

Then, the rotary cylinder 34 is controlled to drive the liquid collection hood mechanism to rotate to the outside, and then the motor b is controlled to drive the vertical moving beam to descend. During the descent, after the positioning hood component touches the tank opening, the proximity switch senses the signal and controls the cylinder 43 to drive the liquid receiving hopper component to go deeper into the tank opening to a certain depth. At this time, the liquid sample is loaded into the sampling container 60 fixed in the liquid receiving hopper. After sampling at the specified time, the cylinder automatically drives the liquid receiving hopper component to rise to the position, and then the rotary cylinder 34 drives the liquid collection hood component to rotate to the bottom of the oil receiving hopper to collect the residual liquid. Then the horizontal moving beam and the vertical moving beam component return to their original positions. The operator can rotate the positioning seat 62 and the manual lever 64 on the support rod 59, pull the manual lever 64 outward, and then drive the rotating positioning seat 62 to rotate a certain angle away from the mouth of the sampling container 60, at which point the sampling container can be smoothly taken out.
