[0002] A loading arm, a telescopic and movable pipe, is mostly used for liquid loading and unloading at oil and chemical terminals. The medium in the pipe is such as oil, water, etc. The loading arm is a special equipment in the fluid loading and unloading process of the petrochemical industry. It is connected to a rigid pipe and an elbow through a rotary joint to realize the movable equipment for transmitting liquid media between railway tank cars, motor tank cars and the storage and transportation pipeline on the trestle, so as to replace the old hose connection, and has the characteristics of high safety, flexibility and long service life.

[0003] Most of the connection parts of the loading arm are connected by means of flange connection. During the use of the loading arm, problems are more likely to occur at the flange connection part.

The upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 are rotatably connected through a rotating shaft. Sealing gaskets are arranged at the connection parts between the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 and the first swivel pipe 1 and the second swivel pipe 3. A clamping mechanism is arranged on the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11. Through the clamping mechanism, the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can be quickly disassembled and installed. The clamping mechanism includes an upper fixing block 12, a lower fixing block 13, a sliding groove 14, a sliding block 15, a first spring 16, a block groove 17, a block 18, a second spring 19, a connection groove 20, a clamping groove 21, a top block 22, a control groove 23, and a control rod 24.

[0039] Further, the upper fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper protective shell 10, the lower fixing block 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the lower protective shell 11, the sliding groove 14 is opened on the lower side of the upper fixing block 12, the sliding block 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 14, the first spring 16 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the sliding block 15, and the upper end of the first spring 16 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the sliding groove 14.

[0040] Furthermore, when starting to work, the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can limit and fix the first flange 2 and the second flange 4, thereby reducing the vibration between the first flange 2 and the second flange 4. At the same time, they also block rainwater and snow, preventing rainwater and snow from falling on the second swing pipe 3 and the second flange 4. When it is necessary to disassemble the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11, the staff push the front control rod 24 backward, then the control rod 24 drives the top block 22 to move backward, and then the top block 22 pushes the clamping block 18 to move backward. Then the clamping block 18 moves backward into the clamping block groove 17. At this time, the second spring 19 starts to be compressed, and the clamping state between the clamping block 18 and the clamping groove 21 is released. At the same time, push the rear control rod 24 forward. According to the above, the clamping states of the two clamping blocks 18 and the two clamping grooves 21 will be released. After that, pulling the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can open them, and then they can be removed. During installation, the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can be installed and fixed to the first flange 2 and the second flange 4 according to the above method. In this way, the flange connection part of the swing pipe can be protected, thereby preventing rainwater, snow, etc. from entering the swing pipe through the flange connection part and avoiding the decline in the quality of the extracted petroleum.

[0041] Working principle: When starting to work, the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can limit and fix the first flange 2 and the second flange 4, thereby reducing the vibration between the first flange 2 and the second flange 4. At the same time, they also block rainwater and snow, preventing rainwater and snow from falling on the second swing pipe 3 and the second flange 4. When it is necessary to disassemble the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11, the staff push the front control rod 24 backward, then the control rod 24 drives the top block 22 to move backward, and then the top block 22 pushes the clamping block 18 to move backward. Then the clamping block 18 moves backward into the clamping block groove 17. At this time, the second spring 19 starts to be compressed, and the clamping state between the clamping block 18 and the clamping groove 21 is released. At the same time, push the rear control rod 24 forward. According to the above, the clamping states of the two clamping blocks 18 and the two clamping grooves 21 will be released. After that, pulling the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can open them, and then they can be removed. During installation, the upper protective shell 10 and the lower protective shell 11 can be installed and fixed to the first flange 2 and the second flange 4 according to the above method.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
