Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metering tanks, in particular to a metering tank for calibrating fuel dispensers. Background Art

[0002] As a professional metering device, the metering tank for calibrating fuel dispensers is mainly used for calibrating fuel dispensers at gas stations. It has accurate volume scales, can provide an accurate oil measurement environment for fuel dispensers, and ensure that the metering accuracy of fuel dispensers during refueling meets national standards. This device is usually designed with a stable support structure, easy-to-operate interfaces, and necessary sealing measures to ensure the smooth progress of calibration work. The metering tank for calibrating fuel dispensers is a key tool for regular calibration of fuel dispensers at gas stations. By comparing the amount of oil output by the fuel dispenser with the actual measured amount of oil in the metering tank, the metering error of the fuel dispenser can be accurately evaluated, ensuring that the metering accuracy of the fuel dispenser meets relevant standards and regulations. This is of great significance for protecting the rights and interests of consumers and ensuring the operation order of gas stations.

[0003] In the existing design of the metering tank for calibrating fuel dispensers, in order to facilitate the rapid injection of oil, a funnel is usually installed at the top of the tank body. However, the core problem of this design lies in the connection method between the funnel and the tank body - a sliding connection. Although this connection method is convenient for installation and disassembly, it has significant drawbacks in actual operation. When the oil is injected into the tank body through the funnel at a relatively fast speed, due to the pressure of the oil itself and the impact force generated during injection, it is very easy to form leakage at the connection between the funnel and the tank body. Once the oil overflows, it will not only cause waste of oil products, but more importantly, it will directly affect the accuracy and reliability of fuel dispenser calibration. In addition, the overflow of oil may also cause environmental pollution, increasing the difficulty and cost of cleaning work. Therefore, a metering tank for calibrating fuel dispensers is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

The bottom surface of the threaded column is rotatably connected with an adjusting disc through a bearing.

[0009] Preferably, according to any of the above solutions, a sealing groove is formed on the top surface of the support ring. The sealing ring is slidably connected with the support ring through the sealing groove. The depth of the sealing groove is equal to the thickness of the sealing ring.

[0010] Preferably, according to any of the above solutions, a blocking ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the funnel. The top surface of the blocking ring is in contact with the bottom surface of the top cover.

[0025] As an optional technical solution of the present utility model, a spirit level 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the metering tank body 3. The spirit level 15 is perpendicular to the support legs 1. A bottom plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each support leg 1. A threaded column 17 is threadedly connected inside the bottom plate 16. The bottom surface of the threaded column 17 is rotatably connected with an adjusting disc 18 through a bearing.

[0030] A fuel dispenser verification metering tank has the following working principle:

[0031] 1): When the verification operation of the fuel dispenser is required, first place the metering tank body 3 at the use position. At this time, observing the spirit level 15 can determine whether the metering tank body 3 is level, and twist the threaded column 17 to drive the adjustment disc 18 to lift and lower. The metering tank body 3 can be leveled by the lifting and lowering of several adjustment discs 18.

[0032] 2): Insert the funnel 6 into the inside of the diversion pipe 4 until the seal 7 is completely inserted into the seal groove 19. Then twist the locking bolt 8 to lock the bottom of the funnel 6 inside the diversion pipe 4. The arrangement of the sealing ring 7 can greatly improve the sealing performance between the funnel 6 and the diversion pipe 4.

[0033] 3): After the funnel 6 is installed, screw a suitable limiting ring into the threaded sleeve 12. The appropriate limiting ring 13 can be selected according to the barrel diameter of different fuel nozzles. Then screw the top cover 9 onto the top of the funnel 6. The barrel of the fuel nozzle can be inserted into the limiting ring 13 through the through hole 10. At this time, the gap between the barrel of the fuel nozzle and the limiting ring 13 is small, which can prevent the oil from flowing back.

[0034] In summary, for the calibration metering tank of the fuel dispenser, when the calibration operation of the fuel dispenser is required, the metering tank body 3 needs to be placed at the use position first. At this time, observing the spirit level 15 can determine whether the metering tank body 3 is level, and turning the threaded column 17 can drive the adjusting disc 18 to lift and lower. By the lifting and lowering of several adjusting discs 18, the metering tank body 3 can be leveled, which can ensure the accuracy of the metering operation. Subsequently, insert the funnel 6 into the inside of the diversion pipe 4 until the seal 7 is completely inserted into the seal groove 19, and then turn the locking bolt 8 to lock the bottom of the funnel 6 inside the diversion pipe 4. The setting of the sealing ring 7 can greatly improve the sealing performance between the funnel 6 and the diversion pipe 4, and can prevent leakage at the connection between the funnel 6 and the diversion pipe 4. It will not only cause waste of oil products, but also will not affect the accuracy and reliability of the fuel dispenser calibration. After the funnel 6 is installed, screw a suitable limit ring into the threaded sleeve 12, and the appropriate limit ring 13 can be selected according to the barrel diameter of different fuel nozzles. Subsequently, screw the top cover 9 onto the top of the funnel 6, and insert the barrel of the fuel nozzle through the through hole 10 into the limit ring 13. At this time, the gap between the barrel of the fuel nozzle and the limit ring 13 is small, which can prevent the backflow of the oil fluid. Moreover, the setting of the exhaust pipe 23 facilitates the discharge of the air inside the metering tank body 3, preventing the increase of the internal air pressure of the metering tank body 3, and can ensure the accuracy of the fuel dispenser calibration metering.
