Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas application technology, specifically to an integrated gas supply terminal. Background Technology
[0002] Different gases have different functions, and different gas-using equipment requires different gas supplies. With technological advancements and upgrades to gas-using equipment, multiple gases will be used in combination on the same equipment, such as transport ships, which use oxygen, nitrogen, and air. Therefore, the industry needs to move towards a model where multiple gases can be supplied to a single terminal.
[0003] Currently, the existing terminal gas supply structures on the market are usually single gas supply structures, that is, one terminal provides one gas supply method. In this case, the terminal includes a gas supply control panel and a gas supply pipeline. The gas supply pipeline includes an inlet, an outlet, several valves, and a gas processing structure. The inlet is connected to the gas source, and the outlet is located on the terminal and selectively connected to the gas-using equipment. Several valves and the gas processing structure are located on the pipeline between the inlet and outlet, and the valves are connected to the gas supply control panel. In use, the operator connects the gas-using equipment to the outlet and controls the opening and closing of each valve through the gas supply control panel, so that the gas supplied by the gas source can enter the gas-using equipment after passing through the gas processing structure (such as a drying and dehumidification structure, a pressure reducing structure, etc.), thus realizing the gas supply. Although existing terminals can meet gas supply needs, each terminal can typically only supply one type of gas. If a gas-using device requires the use of multiple gases, multiple terminals need to be installed simultaneously. This would occupy a significant amount of space, especially in situations where deck space is limited, such as on ships. This would affect the installation and use of the terminals, resulting in wasted space and hindering the widespread adoption of gas supply terminals. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, this invention aims to provide an integrated gas supply terminal that partitions several operating areas for different gases on a single control panel. Simultaneously, several sets of gas supply pipelines are arranged within the same frame, enabling the installation of multiple gas supply pipeline systems on the same platform. This meets integrated gas supply needs, avoids the space-consuming problem of separate arrangements, and allows the entire system to be moved out or hidden from the platform, ensuring no space is occupied when not in use, further preventing space waste and facilitating the widespread adoption of integrated gas supply terminals.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] An integrated gas supply terminal, installed on a platform, has the following features:
[0007] The frame has an inner cavity and an opening on the platform. The frame can be moved out of the opening or retracted into the opening.
[0008] The operation panel is located on the frame and has several operation areas.
[0009] Several sets of gas supply lines are installed inside the frame, and each set of gas supply lines corresponds to an operating area. The control valves and instruments of each set of gas supply lines are installed in the corresponding operating area on the control panel.
[0010] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, different operating areas on the control panel are different colors.
[0011] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, each gas supply pipeline includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of each gas supply pipeline is located at the bottom of the frame, and the outlet of each gas supply pipeline is located on the side of the frame. All outlets are located on the side of the frame away from the operator.
[0012] The aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal also includes a latch. Several latches are provided on the outer wall of the frame. Each latch includes a rotating arm. Several slots are provided on the outer wall of the frame in a horizontal direction. Each slot corresponds to a rotating arm. One end of each rotating arm is hinged to one end of the slot.
[0013] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, the joint between the connecting pipes in each gas supply pipeline is an endless joint, and the interface of the endless joint is welded to the corresponding connecting pipe.
[0014] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, a lifting assembly is provided at the bottom of the frame, the lifting assembly is installed on the carrier on which the platform is located, and each gas supply pipeline has an air inlet connected to a flexible hose.
[0015] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, an isolation cylinder is provided below the platform, the upper end of the isolation cylinder is fixed to the platform, the frame is slidably disposed inside the isolation cylinder, the lifting part of the lifting assembly is disposed inside the isolation cylinder, and the power source of the lifting assembly is disposed outside the isolation cylinder and is poweredly connected to the lifting part.
[0016] In the aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, a cover plate is provided on the platform at the opening, and the cover plate covers the opening when the frame is retracted into the opening.
[0017] The positive effects of the above technical solution are:
[0018] The aforementioned integrated gas supply terminal, by setting up several sets of gas supply pipelines within a frame and dividing the control panel on the frame into several operating areas corresponding to each set of gas supply pipelines, and with the control valves and instruments of each set of gas supply pipelines installed in the corresponding operating area on the control panel, achieves the goal of installing multiple sets of gas supply pipelines within the same frame, meeting integrated gas supply needs and avoiding the space waste caused by requiring separate space for each set of gas supply pipelines. This saves installation and usage space. In addition, by installing the frame at the opening of the platform, and by allowing the frame to be moved out of the opening or retracted into the opening, the frame can be concealed. When not in use, it can be hidden under the platform, avoiding the problem of occupying space on the platform during normal use, further avoiding space waste. When in use, it can be moved out of the platform, meeting the needs of convenient operation and facilitating the promotion and use of integrated gas supply terminals. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives, and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following embodiments are provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6The technical solution provided by this utility model is described in detail, but the following content is not intended to limit this utility model.
[0027] Figure 1 This is a state structure diagram of an embodiment of the integrated gas supply terminal of this utility model; Figure 2 This is another structural diagram of an embodiment of the integrated gas supply terminal of this utility model. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated gas supply terminal provided in this embodiment is installed on a platform 1. The platform 1 has an opening 11, allowing the integrated gas supply terminal to be moved out of or retracted into the opening 11. This enables the integrated gas supply terminal to be placed or hidden on the platform 1. When in use, the integrated gas supply terminal can be placed on the platform 1 for convenient operation and use; when not in use, it can be hidden under the platform 1, thus avoiding the problem of occupying too much space on the platform 1 when not in use. This is particularly suitable for platforms with limited space, such as ship decks, making it more adaptable and easier to promote. Furthermore, the integrated gas supply terminal provided in this embodiment includes: a frame 2, an operation panel 3, and several sets of gas supply pipelines 4.
[0028] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of different operating areas of the operation panel of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the control panel 3 is mounted on the frame 2. The frame 2 has an inner cavity, providing installation space for the subsequent installation of several sets of gas supply lines 4. Furthermore, the control panel 3 is provided with several operating areas 31. By dividing the operating areas 31, conditions are provided for different operating areas 31 to correspond to different gas supply lines 4, thus enabling operators to quickly and accurately operate the corresponding gas supply lines 4 through different operating areas 31.
[0029] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation of several sets of gas supply pipelines according to a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, several sets of gas supply pipelines 4 are all installed within the inner cavity of the frame 2, realizing the arrangement of several sets of gas supply pipelines 4 within the same frame 2 for use as a comprehensive gas supply terminal. This achieves unified installation of multiple sets of gas supply pipelines 4 within the same frame 2, saving installation space and avoiding the problem of excessive space occupation when multiple sets of gas supply pipelines 4 are installed individually, resulting in more rational space utilization. Furthermore, each set of gas supply pipelines 4 corresponds to one operating area 31. During installation, the control valve 41 and instrument 42 of each set of gas supply pipelines 4 are installed in the corresponding operating area 31 on the operating panel 3. That is, when using it, the operator can control the corresponding set of gas supply pipelines 4 by operating the control valve 41 and instrument 42 within the same operating area 31, preventing the problem of misoperation and ensuring higher safety.
[0030] Specifically, different operating areas 31 on the control panel 3 are distinguished by different colors, which makes it easier to differentiate them, and the manufacturing cost is low, making it easy to promote and popularize.
[0031] More specifically, each air supply pipe 4 located within the inner cavity of the frame 2 includes an air inlet 43 and an air outlet 44. During installation, the air inlet 43 of each air supply pipe 4 is positioned at the bottom of the frame 2, ensuring it remains hidden beneath the platform 1. Furthermore, the air outlet 44 of each air supply pipe 4 is located on the side of the frame 2, facilitating easy connection of the air supply line when the frame 2 is moved outside the opening 11 of the platform 1. Additionally, all air outlets 44 are positioned on the side of the frame 2 away from the operator, ensuring that pipes connected to the outlets 44 are kept away from the operator, thus improving safety. Preferably, each air supply pipe 4 also includes a vent 45, similarly located on the side of the frame 2 away from the operator, ensuring the safety of the pipes and the operator during venting operations.
[0032] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a state of the latch according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing another state of the latch according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, several latches 5 are also provided on the outer side wall of the frame 2. Each latch 5 includes a rotating arm 51, and several slots 21 arranged horizontally are correspondingly provided on the outer side wall of the frame 2, so that when the frame 2 is placed horizontally, the slots 21 are also in the horizontal plane. During installation, each slot 21 corresponds to a rotating arm 51, and one end of each rotating arm 51 is hinged to one end of the slot 21, so that the rotating arm 51 can swing within the corresponding slot 21, thereby allowing one end of the rotating arm 51 to extend or retract into the slot 21. When the frame 2 is moved out of the opening 11 and the rotating arm 51 is deflected out of the slot 21, the other end of the rotating arm 51 is supported on the edge of the opening 11 of the platform 1, thereby limiting the frame 2 on the platform 1 after it is moved out of the opening 11, preventing the frame 2 from accidentally retracting into the platform 1 and causing safety hazards, and maintaining stability during use. When the frame 2 needs to be retracted, the deflecting arm 51 can be deflected so that the end of the arm 51 that was previously deflected can be retracted back into the groove 21, maintaining the flatness of the outer wall of the frame 2 and facilitating the retraction of the frame 2.
[0033] More specifically, the joints between the connecting pipes in each gas supply line 4 are endless joints. That is, when the connecting pipes in the gas supply line 4 need to be connected, endless joints are used for connection. At this time, the endless joint is a type of sleeve pipe at the interface that does not fit into the connecting pipe. During installation, the interface of the endless joint is directly welded to the corresponding connecting pipe. Since there is no sleeve pipe extending from the interface of the endless joint, its size is smaller, thus avoiding the problem of occupying a large internal cavity space of the frame 2 due to pipe connection. The structure is more compact and conducive to the miniaturization design of the terminal.
[0034] More specifically, a lifting assembly 6 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 2. During installation, the lifting assembly 6 is installed on the carrier on which the platform 1 is located. At the same time, the frame 2 is installed on the carrier on which the platform 1 is located via the lifting assembly 6, so that the lifting assembly 6 can move the frame 2 relative to the platform 1, thereby moving it out of the opening 11 of the platform 1 or retracting it into the opening 11. In addition, each air supply pipe 4 has an air inlet 43 connected to a hose 46, which is connected to the corresponding air source. This satisfies the pipe connection requirements and allows the deformation of the hose 46 to adapt to the lifting requirements of the frame 2, making the structural design more reasonable.
[0035] More specifically, an isolation cylinder 7 is installed below platform 1. The upper end of the isolation cylinder 7 is fixed to platform 1, achieving stable installation of the isolation cylinder 7. The isolation cylinder 7 can also serve as the mounting carrier for the lifting assembly 6. Furthermore, the frame 2 is slidably positioned within the isolation cylinder 7, allowing relative movement within it. This provides the frame 2 to be moved out of or back into the opening 11. Simultaneously, the lifting part of the lifting assembly 6 is located within the isolation cylinder 7, while the power source 61 of the lifting assembly 6 is located outside the isolation cylinder 7 and connected to the lifting part. This isolation cylinder 7 isolates the lifting part of the lifting assembly 6 from the power source 61, ensuring safe operation even if the power source 61 is electrically driven and the gas supply line 4 contains flammable or explosive gases, thus enhancing safety. It is worth noting that the lifting assembly 6 includes, but is not limited to, existing electric telescopic poles on the market. The telescopic part of the electric telescopic pole is installed inside the isolation cylinder 7, and the motor of the electric telescopic pole is installed outside the isolation cylinder 7. The transmission structure between the telescopic part and the motor of the electric telescopic pole passes through the isolation cylinder 7 to realize the power connection between the telescopic part and the motor, which can meet the usage requirements.
[0036] More specifically, a cover plate 12 is also provided on the platform 1 at the opening 11. At this time, the cover plate 12 can cover or open the opening 11. When in use, if the frame 2 needs to be moved out of the opening 11, the operator first opens the cover plate 12 to facilitate the frame 2 to be moved out of the opening 11. If the frame 2 is retracted into the opening 11, the operator can close the cover plate 12 to cover the opening 11, thereby maintaining the flatness of the surface of the platform 1, realizing the concealment of the integrated gas supply terminal, and improving the utilization rate of the platform 1.
[0037] The integrated gas supply terminal provided in this embodiment includes a frame 2, an operation panel 3, and several sets of gas supply pipelines 4. The operation panel 3 is set on the frame 2, and the several sets of gas supply pipelines 4 are set in the inner cavity of the frame 2. The operation panel 3 is divided into several operation areas 31 corresponding to several sets of gas supply pipelines 4. The control valves 41 and instruments 42 of each set of gas supply pipelines 4 are installed in the corresponding operation area 31, realizing the purpose of installing multiple sets of gas supply pipelines 4 in the same frame 2, realizing integrated gas supply, thereby avoiding the problem of occupying too much space if multiple sets of gas supply pipelines 4 are set up separately, saving installation and use space. In addition, the frame 2 is installed on a platform 1 with an opening 11 and can be moved out of the opening 11 or retracted into the opening 11, realizing the concealable installation of the frame 2. It can be hidden under the platform 1 when gas supply is not in use, avoiding the problem of occupying space on the platform 1 when gas supply is not in use, further avoiding space waste, and facilitating the promotion and use of integrated gas supply terminals.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
