[0029] The following description is used to disclose the present disclosure so that those skilled in the art can implement the present disclosure. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles defined in the following description of the present disclosure can be applied to other implementation schemes, variant schemes, improvement schemes, equivalent schemes, and other technical schemes that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of the present disclosure, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.
[0031] It can be understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more". That is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in other embodiments, the number of the element can be multiple. The term "a" should not be construed as limiting the quantity.
[0032] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "linked", "fixed", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or capable of communicating with each other; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0033] In the related art, when filling a liquid into a device for storing liquid, the pipeline of the liquid supply device needs to be inserted and connected to the pipeline of the liquid storage device so that the liquid in the liquid supply device can enter the liquid storage device through the two pipelines. For example, when a liquid supply trolley capable of supplying an emulsion such as resin supplies liquid to a storage barrel capable of storing an emulsion, the pipeline of the liquid supply trolley needs to be docked and conducted with the pipeline of the storage barrel so that the emulsion in the liquid supply trolley can be supplied into the storage barrel.
[0034] However, when the related art personnel insert and connect the two pipelines, a high alignment accuracy is required between the two pipelines, and the operation difficulty is high. Otherwise, the two pipelines are easily damaged during the insertion process.
[0035] In view of the above situation, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pipeline connection assembly. The pipeline connection assembly of the embodiments of the present disclosure can enable the two pipelines to be docked and conducted without damage when there is an alignment deviation between the two pipelines.
[0036] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram when the pipeline connection assembly of the first embodiment of the present disclosure connects pipelines. Refer to Figure 1 The pipeline connection assembly of the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a movable sleeve 10 and a first flexible seal 20.
[0037] The movable sleeve 10 is used to sleeve on the pipe end of the first pipe body 81. The first flexible seal 20 is sealed between the first pipe body 81 and the movable sleeve 10.
[0038] Optionally, the movable sleeve 10 can be sleeved outside the first pipe body 81. The first flexible seal 20 is arranged between the inner wall of the movable sleeve 10 and the outer wall of the first pipe body 81. Or the movable sleeve is sleeved inside the first pipe body, and the first flexible seal is arranged between the outer wall of the movable sleeve and the inner wall of the first pipe body.
[0039] Wherein, when the second pipe body 91 is docked with the first pipe body 81 through the movable sleeve 10, the first flexible seal 20 can be deformed by force to yield an activity space for the movable sleeve 10 to move so as to guide the formation of a pipe end docking between the second pipe body 91 and the first pipe body 81.
[0040] In other words, when the second pipe body 91 and the first pipe body 81 are docked with an alignment deviation, the alignment deviation mainly means that the axis of the second pipe body 91 and the axis of the first pipe body 81 do not coincide on the same straight line, and there is a gap between the two axes. Therefore, when the second pipe body 91 is inserted into the movable sleeve 10 to be docked with the first pipe body 81, the outer wall of the second pipe body 91 will generate a radial extrusion force on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 10, so that the movable sleeve 10 can extrude the first flexible seal 20 under the action of the radial extrusion force, causing the first flexible seal 20 to deform, causing the first flexible seal 20 to yield an activity space, and further enabling the movable sleeve 10 to move to a position where it can guide the pipe end docking of the second pipe body 91 and the first pipe body 81. Thus, when there is an alignment deviation between the second pipe body 91 and the first pipe body 81, the second pipe body 91 and the first pipe body 81 are also docked without damage.
[0041] Optionally, the first flexible seal 20 has elasticity, and the first flexible seal 20 can be implemented to include a first elastic sealing ring. Thus, after the first pipe body 81 and the second pipe body 91 are separated, under the elastic action of the first elastic sealing ring, the movable sleeve 10 can return to its initial position before movement.
[0042] Optionally, the inner diameter of the movable sleeve 10 gradually increases from one end close to the pipe end of the first pipe body 81 to the other end far from the pipe end of the first pipe body 81. Thus, the second pipe body 91 can conveniently enter the movable sleeve 10 and be inserted and fixed at the position with a smaller inner diameter of the movable sleeve 10 and be docked with the first pipe body 81, so as to conveniently realize the mutual insertion between the movable sleeve 10 and the second pipe body 91.
[0043] Optionally, a second flexible seal 83 is provided outside the second tube body 91. Alternatively, a second flexible seal for sealing connection with the second tube body is further provided on the inner wall of the movable sleeve. Specifically, the second flexible seal 83 may be implemented to include a second elastic sealing ring. When the second tube body 91 is located within the movable sleeve 10 and is butted against the first tube body 81, the second flexible seal 83 seals between the movable sleeve 10 and the second tube body 91. Thus, the sealing performance between the first tube body 81 and the second tube body 91 is good, and the second flexible seal 83 can achieve sealing between the movable sleeve 10 and the second tube body 91 during the process of inserting the second tube body 91 into the movable sleeve 10.
[0044] Figure 2 is a schematic structural view of the liquid storage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a top view of the liquid storage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is Figure 3 a cross-sectional view taken along the A-A section line in
[0045] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the liquid storage device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the pipeline connection assembly and the liquid storage container 30 as described above. The liquid storage container 30 forms a liquid storage cavity 301, and one of the first tube body 81 and the second tube body 91 communicates with the liquid storage cavity 301, and the other communicates with a liquid supply device 900 that supplies liquid to the liquid storage cavity 301.
[0046] For example, the first tube body 81 is provided in the liquid storage container 30 and communicates with the liquid storage cavity 301 to serve as a pipeline for feeding liquid into the liquid storage container 30. The second tube body 91 is provided in the liquid supply device 900 and communicates with the liquid supply device 900 to serve as a pipeline for discharging liquid from the liquid supply device 900. Alternatively, the second tube body is provided in the liquid storage container and communicates with the liquid storage cavity to serve as a pipeline for feeding liquid into the liquid storage container. The first tube body is provided in the liquid supply device and communicates with the liquid supply device to serve as a pipeline for discharging liquid from the liquid supply device.
[0047] Optionally, referring to Figure 4 , the liquid storage device further includes a flushing assembly 32 and a driving member. The flushing assembly 32 includes a first liquid outlet head 321 and a second liquid outlet head 322. The first liquid outlet head 321 and the second liquid outlet head 322 are oppositely provided in the liquid storage cavity 301 and communicate with the first tube body 81. Thus, when the liquid ejected from the first liquid outlet head 321 and the second liquid outlet head 322 can be mutually flushed, so as to achieve uniform mixing of the liquid, and the liquid can be stored in the liquid storage device in a relatively uniform state.
[0048] Optionally, the first liquid outlet head 321 is located directly above the second liquid outlet head 322. Thus, the liquid can be ejected downward from the first liquid outlet head 321 from top to bottom and ejected upward from the second liquid outlet head 322 from bottom to top, so that the liquid is fully counter-jet mixed.
[0049] Specifically, the driving member can be a driving pump. Thus, when a liquid such as liquid resin is driven by the driving pump, the liquid resin can be ejected downward from the first liquid outlet head 321 from top to bottom and ejected upward from the second liquid outlet head 322 from bottom to top, so that the liquid resin is counter-jet, and then the uniform mixing of the liquid resin is realized, and the liquid resin can be stored in the liquid storage container 30 in a relatively uniform state.
[0050] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 , there are two pipeline connection components, and the two pipeline connection components are respectively communicated with the first liquid outlet head 321 and the second liquid outlet head 322, so that the first liquid outlet head 321 and the second liquid outlet head 322 can receive the supplied liquid.
[0051] Optionally, the first liquid outlet head 321 and the second liquid outlet head 322 can be the liquid outlet ends of two first pipe bodies 81, or can be two spray heads provided at the liquid outlet ends of the two first pipe bodies 81.
[0052] Optionally, a liquid inlet channel 8101 is formed in the first pipe body 81, and the first pipe body 81 is provided with a first heating part 8102 for heating the liquid inlet channel 8101. Thus, when the external temperature is relatively low, for example, when winter comes and the ambient temperature is low, the first heating part 8102 can heat the liquid inlet channel 8101, so that the first pipe body 81 is heated and the liquid in the first pipe body 81 can always remain in a liquid state even when the external temperature is too low.
[0053] Specifically, when the liquid is resin and the external temperature is relatively low, the first heating part 8102 can heat the liquid inlet channel 8101, so that the first pipe body 81 is heated and the resin in the first pipe body 81 will not solidify due to the too low external temperature, and the liquid resin can always remain in a liquid state even when the external temperature is too low.
[0054] Optionally, the first heating part 8102 includes a first heating cavity for accommodating a heating liquid. Specifically, the first heating cavity is arranged around the outer peripheral side of the liquid inlet channel 8101 and is isolated from the liquid inlet channel 8101. Thus, when a heating liquid such as hot water is accommodated in the first heating cavity and surrounds the outer peripheral side of the liquid inlet channel 8101, the first heating cavity can fully and uniformly heat the liquid inlet channel 8101.
[0055] Optionally, the liquid storage container 30 is provided with a second heating part 302 for heating the liquid storage cavity 301. Thus, when the external temperature is relatively low, for example, when winter comes and the ambient temperature is low, the second heating part 302 can heat the liquid storage cavity 301, so that the temperature of the liquid storage cavity 301 rises and the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 301 can always remain in a liquid state even when the external temperature is too low.
[0056] Specifically, when the liquid is resin and the external temperature is relatively low, the second heating part 302 can heat the liquid storage cavity 301, so that the temperature of the liquid storage cavity 301 rises and the resin in the liquid storage cavity 301 will not coagulate due to the too low external temperature, and the liquid resin can always remain in a liquid state even when the external temperature is too low.
[0057] Optionally, the second heating part 302 includes a second heating cavity for containing a heating liquid. Specifically, the second heating cavity is arranged around the outer peripheral side of the liquid storage cavity 301 and is isolated from the liquid storage cavity 301. Thus, when a heating liquid such as hot water is contained in the second heating cavity and surrounds the outer peripheral side of the liquid storage cavity 301, the second heating cavity can heat the liquid storage cavity 301 fully and evenly.
[0058] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , the liquid storage container 30 forms a first liquid outlet 303 and a second liquid outlet 304 communicated with the discharge pipe 70, and is provided with a cover body 33 capable of opening and closing the first liquid outlet 303. The discharge pipe 70 discharges the liquid in the liquid storage container 30 outward, so that the liquid can be used for the production activities in the production workshop. For example, the liquid resin is supplied to the production workshop, so that the production workshop can use the liquid resin to produce materials such as ink. Thus, when the discharge pipe 70 cannot discharge the liquid well, the relevant technicians can open the first liquid outlet 303 by using the cover body 33, so that the liquid can continue to be discharged through the first liquid outlet 303.
[0059] Optionally, a discharge driving member 71, such as a discharge pump, is provided on the discharge pipe 70 for driving the liquid to be discharged from the discharge pipe 70.
[0060] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the liquid storage device further includes a monitoring device and a processor. The monitoring device includes a liquid inflow monitor 41 and a liquid outflow monitor 42. The liquid inflow monitor 41 is disposed at the first pipe body 81 for monitoring the liquid inflow of the first pipe body 81. The liquid outflow monitor 42 is disposed at the discharge pipe 70 for monitoring the liquid outflow of the discharge pipe 70. The processor is respectively connected to the liquid inflow monitor 41 and the liquid outflow monitor 42, and is configured to determine the remaining liquid amount in the liquid storage container 30 according to the liquid inflow and the liquid outflow.
[0061] Specifically, the liquid inflow monitor 41 and the liquid outflow monitor may be flow meters. Thus, those skilled in the art can better understand the liquid inflow, liquid outflow and remaining liquid amount of the liquid storage device according to the above monitoring device and the processor.
[0062] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present disclosure described above and shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present disclosure. The advantages of the present disclosure have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present disclosure have been shown and described in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present disclosure may have any deformation or modification without departing from the principle.
