[0002] Tank truck quick connectors are mainly used to connect the hoses between tank trucks and other equipment when tank trucks are transporting liquids. The working principle of tank truck quick connectors is to quickly connect and disconnect the hoses of tank trucks and other equipment. For fluid transportation, it can greatly improve the loading and unloading efficiency. For chemical liquids, petroleum derivatives, volatile, toxic and harmful liquids, such as liquefied hydrocarbons, liquefied hydrocarbon substances are Class A and Class A fire hazard media, with obvious fire and explosion hazards, and are equipped with wave-proof baffles and anti-static grounding chains. It is necessary to ensure the tightness and reliability of the quick connector.

After the male connector is inserted into the female connector, it is limited by the cam locking mechanism on the female connector to achieve effective docking. However, due to the wear of the cam locking mechanism over a long period of time, its reliability is reduced, and there is a possibility of loosening of the docking, which may cause leakage. For volatile, toxic and harmful fluids, the reliability of the docking needs to be guaranteed. Summary of the invention

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a self-closing locking anti-slip device dedicated to liquefied hydrocarbons comprises a female connector shell 1, a female connector sleeve 2 is installed in the female connector shell 1, a plurality of ball grooves are provided on the circumference of the inner tube wall on the right side of the sleeve 2, balls 3 are installed in a circle of ball grooves, a push piece 4 is installed on the left side of the ball 3, the push piece 4 is connected to a self-closing valve core 5, the valve core is connected to the push rod through a spring 7, locking handles 8 are installed on the outer sides of both sides of the sleeve 2 through a connecting rod mechanism, and a limit pin 6 is provided between the female connector shell 1 and the female connector sleeve 2.
[0023] The female connector housing 1 is provided with a through pin hole, and the female connector sleeve 2 is provided with a groove 9 corresponding to the pin hole. The limit pin penetrates the pin hole and falls on the groove to realize self-resetting locking.
[0024] A limiting step 10 is provided between the female connector housing 1 and the female connector sleeve 2 .
[0025] The female joint sleeve 2 is arranged corresponding to the valve core, and both are in a cone shape.
[0026] The push piece 4 is a ring-shaped ring body, and the middle of the ring body is connected to the valve core 5 through a push rod.
[0027] Directions:
[0028] Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the male connector 12 is ready to be inserted into the female connector sleeve 2 of the utility model, and the stop pin 6 is pulled out from the groove of the female connector sleeve 2. At this time, the female connector housing 1 and the female connector sleeve 2 are in a separated state, and then the locking handle 8 is held and pulled successively. Under the action of the connecting rod mechanism, the female connector sleeve 2 is disengaged from the female connector housing 1 ( Figure 4 As shown), it can be seen from the figure that the female connector sleeve 2 extends from the right side of the female connector housing 1. When extending, the ball on the female connector sleeve 2 has a large range of movement due to the limiting step 10 of the female connector housing 1. When the male connector 12 is inserted into the female connector sleeve 2, the ball does not block the insertion of the male connector, so that quick docking can be achieved. After docking, the locking handle 8 is released, and the female connector sleeve 2 drives the male connector to retract into the female connector housing 1. At the same time, the ball presses against the ball under the action of the limiting step 10, and the ball is stably stuck in a circle of grooves of the male connector. The limiting pin 6 also falls into the groove of the female connector sleeve 2, further locking it. When the male connector retracts, it pushes the annular ring body, and the annular ring body moves the valve core 5 to the left through the push rod. At this time, the female connector sleeve 2 is completely connected with the male connector ( Figure 6 As shown), liquid medium transportation can be achieved.
[0029] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the female connector shell 1 is provided with a through pin hole, and the female connector sleeve 2 is provided with a groove 9 corresponding to the pin hole. The limit pin passes through the pin hole and falls on the groove to realize self-resetting locking. When the limit pin is pulled out, there is no interference between the female connector shell 1 and the female connector sleeve 2, and the two can move relative to each other to release the lock. When the limit pin is inserted, the female connector shell 1 and the female connector sleeve 2 are locked by the limit pin, that is, locking is realized, thereby preventing detachment or accidental disconnection.
[0030] In the above embodiment, a connecting rod mechanism is installed outside the female connector housing 1 and the female connector sleeve 2, and the connecting rod mechanism includes a handle, and the two ends of the handle are hinged on both sides of the female connector sleeve 2. One end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to the handle, and the other end is hinged to the female connector sleeve 2. One end of the second connecting rod 11 is hinged to the handle, and the other end is hinged to the female connector housing 1. The user can operate the handle to Figure 2 It is observed that when the handle is pulled to the left, the female connector sleeve 2 extends from the female connector housing 1, and when released, the female connector sleeve 2 retracts into the female connector housing 1.
[0031] The above are all preferred implementations of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, various equivalent modifications to the present invention belong to the protection scope of the claims attached to this application.
