Detailed implementation manner

[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-4 shown, the present invention provides an intelligent vision loading arm with quick alignment and locking, including a fixed loading arm 1. Two positioning blocks 2 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed loading arm 1. Positioning holes 3 are opened on one side of the outer walls of the two positioning blocks 2. A docking loading arm 4 is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the fixed loading arm 1. Two positioning plugs 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the docking loading arm 4. Fixing holes 6 are opened at the tops of the two positioning plugs 5. Threaded bolts 7 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixing holes 6, and the outer walls of the two bolts 7 are movably inserted into the interiors of the two positioning blocks 2. A detachable sleeve 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixed loading arm 1. A strip plate 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the detachable sleeve 8.

[0024] The effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 1 is that when it is necessary to quickly connect the docking swivel 4 to the fixed swivel 1 on a transport vehicle or a storage tank, since two positioning blocks 2 are installed on the outer wall of the fixed swivel 1, and positioning holes 3 are formed on one side of each of the two positioning blocks 2, and then two positioning inserts 5 are installed at the corresponding end of the docking swivel 4. When the two positioning inserts 5 are exactly inserted into the two positioning holes 3, the docking swivel 4 is exactly docked with the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or the storage tank. Also, since fixing holes 6 are formed at the tops of the two positioning inserts 5, and through the action of two bolts 7, the two bolts 7 pass through the two positioning blocks 2 and are threadedly connected to the interiors of the two fixing holes 6, thereby fixing and limiting the two positioning inserts 5 in the two positioning holes 3. Thus, after achieving the quick docking and installation between the docking swivel 4 and the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or the storage tank, locking can also be achieved through the two bolts 7 to ensure the stability after quick alignment and installation, reduce the docking and installation time, and thereby improve the connection efficiency between the swivel and the transport vehicle or the storage tank.

[0025] Embodiment 2: As Figures 2-4 shown, two electric push rods 10 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the strip-shaped plate 9. Output ends of the two electric push rods 10 are both fixedly installed with connection blocks 11. A limiting groove 12 is formed at the top of the detachable sleeve 8. A sliding block 13 is movably embedded in the inner wall of the limiting groove 12. A mounting seat 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding block 13. The outer wall of the mounting seat 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer walls of the two connection blocks 11. A threaded hole 15 is formed at the top of the mounting seat 14. A threaded column 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 15. The top of the threaded column 16 is fixedly installed with a base 17. The bottom of the base 17 contacts the top of the mounting seat 14. A rotating camera 18 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 17.

[0026] The effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 2 is that when the docking swivel 4 is connected to the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or storage tank, two electric push rods 10 installed on one side of the strip plate 9 are activated to drive the two connecting blocks 11 to move. Since a limiting groove 12 is provided at the top of the detachable sleeve 8, a sliding block 13 is movably embedded in the inner wall of the limiting groove 12, and the mounting seat 14 installed between the two connecting blocks 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding block 13. Therefore, the two electric push rods 10 can drive the two connecting blocks 11 and the mounting seat 14 to move back and forth until they are moved to an appropriate distance. Since the base 17 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 15 on the mounting seat 14 through the threaded column 16 installed at its bottom, the operator can comprehensively observe the docking situation between the docking swivel 4 and the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or storage tank by rotating the camera 18, and the external sensors and image processing technology are used to assist the process of this rapid docking and installation, further ensuring the accuracy of the docking between the docking swivel 4 and the transport vehicle or storage tank, thereby improving the connection efficiency between the swivel and the transport vehicle or storage tank.

[0027] Working principle: First, when it is necessary to complete the docking and installation between the docking swivel 4 and the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or storage tank, the two electric push rods 10 are first activated. Under the action of the limiting groove 12 and the sliding block 13, the two electric push rods 10 drive the two connecting blocks 11 and the mounting seat 14 to move forward an appropriate distance, and through the external sensors and image processing technology, the mounting seat 14 and the rotating camera 18 on the base 17 can clearly observe the docking and installation between the docking swivel 4 and the fixed swivel 1 on the transport vehicle or storage tank. Since two positioning blocks 2 with positioning holes 3 are installed on the fixed swivel 1, and two positioning inserts 5 with fixing holes 6 are installed on the docking swivel 4, and in cooperation with the rotating camera 18, the two positioning inserts 5 are quickly inserted into the two positioning holes 3 to achieve rapid alignment and installation, and through the action of the two bolts 7, the two positioning inserts 5 can be locked in the two positioning blocks 2 and the two positioning holes 3 to improve the stability after docking and installation. Generally speaking, in oil fields or gas fields, the swivel is used to transport liquids or gases, and the swivel with the rotating camera 18 can ensure the precise docking of the docking swivel 4 when connecting to the transport vehicle or storage tank, has intelligent vision performance, can reduce the leakage risk, and thus improves the use effect of this intelligent vision swivel with rapid alignment and locking.

[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
