Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil and gas recovery, in particular to a locking joint for a sealing cap liquid level switch. Background Art
[0002] With the increase of the country's environmental protection governance efforts and the increasing attention of the owner units to oil and gas recovery. At present, many oil storage depots and refineries in China have set up oil and gas recovery systems, and the oil tank trucks for transportation are also equipped with oil and gas recovery facilities to recover the volatile oil and gas, which greatly improves the problem of oil and gas volatilization during the loading process and achieves good social and economic benefits. In the process of oil and gas recovery, airtight loading is the key link of oil and gas recovery.
[0003] At present, the sealing cap liquid level switch is generally installed on the panel of the sealing cap by assembly. Due to the deficiency in the design of the locking joint, there is a gap at the fixed part of the liquid level switch and the sealing cap panel, resulting in the leakage of oil and gas, a strong smell, and potential safety hazards.
[0004] The above reasons lead to oil and gas leakage during the loading process of oil tank trucks, which brings great difficulties to the volatilization collection and recovery of oil and gas. Due to the leakage gap, the tightness between the sealing cap and the tank truck is not good, the oil and gas recovery pipeline cannot meet the set pressure requirements, and the oil and gas recovery system cannot be used normally, affecting the utilization efficiency of the oil and gas recovery device.

The specific dimensions adopted in this embodiment are only for illustrating the technical solution by way of example and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] As Figure 1-7 shown, a locking joint for a sealed cap liquid level switch includes a sealed cap assembly 1, a locking joint assembly 2, and a liquid level switch 3; a round hole is provided at the top of the sealed cap assembly 1, and the liquid level switch 3 passes through the round hole; the locking joint assembly 2 includes a welded external thread 2.1, a lower gasket 2.2, packing, an upper gasket 2.4, and a sealing nut 2.5; the welded external thread 2.1 is of a hollow structure, and an external thread is provided on the outer wall, which is fixed above the round hole at the top of the sealed cap assembly 1; the lower gasket 2.2, the packing, and the upper gasket 2.4 are sequentially arranged in the inner cavity of the welded external thread 2.1 from bottom to top. The diameter of the lower gasket 2.2 is larger than the diameter of the round hole. The inner wall of the sealing nut 2.5 is provided with an internal thread, which is machined corresponding to the external thread of the welded external thread 2.1; the packing is of a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the packing closely adheres to the outer wall of the liquid level switch 3. The welded external thread 2.1, the lower gasket 2.2, the upper gasket 2.4, and the sealing nut 2.5 are all parts made of metal processing.
[0031] Through the combination of the locking joint assembly 2 of the present utility model, the liquid level switch 3 is locked, and the sealing pressure can be adjusted and maintained at any time. Coupled with the self-filling characteristic of the packing under pressure, the sealing effect of this sealing device is good, achieving a good sealing effect, preventing oil and gas from leaking, and improving the utilization efficiency of the oil and gas recovery device.
[0032] The sealing nut 2.5 and the welded external thread 2.1 play a role in pressing and sealing, and can be pre-tightened at any time during use. A sealing cavity is formed between the upper gasket 2.4, the lower gasket 2.2, and the sealing nut 2.5. The sealing material is graphite packing 2.3, which has excellent wear resistance and stability.
[0033] The sealed cap assembly 1 includes a conical sealed cap 1.1, a sealed cap panel 1.2, and a bolt 3; the sealed cap panel 1.2 is connected to the top of the conical sealed cap 1.1 through the bolt 3, and the round hole is provided at the top of the sealed cap panel 1.2. The bolt 3 is an M10 bolt pair.
[0034] The round hole on the surface of the sealing cap panel 1.2 has a size of φ30mm, which can pass through the liquid level switch 3 and can hold the lower gasket 2.2 in place without dropping.
[0035] The conical sealing cap 1.1 is a fluororubber sealing ring. The fluororubber sealing ring is a sealing ring made of a copolymer of vinyl fluoride and hexafluoropropylene. It is an annular cover composed of one or several parts, fixed on one ring or gasket of the bearing and contacting or forming a narrow labyrinth gap with the other ring or gasket to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and the intrusion of foreign objects. Moreover, the fluororubber sealing ring has its own compensation property and has good sealing performance with the tanker opening.
[0036] Both the upper gasket 2.4 and the lower gasket 2.2 are provided with diagonal cutting grooves. When the liquid level switch 3 is inserted, it can be divided into two parts, and after the liquid level switch 3 is inserted, it can be combined into one component for assembly, playing a self-tightening role.
[0037] The outer surface of the sealing nut 2.5 is provided with a knurled structure, which plays an anti-slip role during manual pre-tightening.
[0038] The packing is graphite packing 2.3. The graphite packing 2.3 is mainly made of graphite wires reinforced by various reinforcing fibers, metal wires, etc. through precision weaving. The graphite packing 2.3 in the present utility model is formed by labyrinth weaving, with a long service life, good sealing performance, low price and high cost performance. The sealing packing made of graphite packing 2.3 has extremely good wear resistance, which can reach dozens of times that of ordinary sealing rings. The graphite packing 2.3 does not react with many chemical substances at room temperature and can operate stably in a relatively harsh chemical environment.
[0039] The sealing nut 2.5 rotates and presses down on the welded external thread 2.1 through a threaded structure, compressing the upper gasket 2.4. The acting force of the upper gasket 2.4 is applied to the top of the graphite packing 2.3. The bottom of the graphite packing 2.3 is provided with a lower gasket 2.2. By squeezing the graphite packing 2.3 to become smaller, and then squeezing it tightly against the hard tube of the liquid level switch 3, a sealing effect is achieved.
[0040] The working principle and implementation plan of this solution:
[0041] The assembler installs the liquid level switch 3 and passes through the welded external thread 2.1, graphite packing 2.3, sealing nut 2.5, and lower washer 2.2 from bottom to top. The bevel-cut structure is installed and pressed into the inner cavity of the welded external thread 2.1 in sequence. After the graphite packing 2.3 is cut to an appropriate length, it is segmented and pressed into the inner cavity of the welded external thread 2.1 in sequence, and compacted. The upper washer 2.4 is installed on the upper part of the graphite packing 2.3. The sealing nut 2.5 is screwed into the welded external thread 2.1 by thread. By continuously rotating and pressing down, the lower washer 2.2, graphite packing 2.3, and upper washer 2.4 are pressed in sequence; the extrusion forces of the lower washer 2.2 and upper washer 2.4 act on the graphite packing 2.3, and the graphite packing 2.3 is compressed to squeeze the rigid pipe part of the liquid level switch 3. Through continuous extrusion, a good sealing effect is achieved.
[0042] In this way, the manufacturing cost of the locking joint of the sealing cap liquid level switch and the application cost of the sealing cap can be reduced, which is convenient for on-site personnel to carry out relevant operations, so as to facilitate popularization and use.
