Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of aviation fuel water testing equipment, specifically relating to a storage box for an aviation fuel vehicle water tester. Background Technology

[0002] Modern aviation fuel transportation and refueling equipment tests the water content of fuel. Because the requirements for water content are quite stringent, current regulations, in addition to real-time monitoring through automated equipment, also add a human inspection step during the handling process. This involves sampling fuel through closed-circuit samplers installed on aviation refueling trucks or other transportation and refueling equipment. This testing process is generally called a water content analyzer.

[0003] Existing Shell water content analyzers consist of a container holding diaphragms and a syringe module. Several diaphragms are placed inside the container. Before each test, the diaphragms are removed and the analyzer's specifications are checked. Then, a certain amount of oil is drawn into the sampling port of a closed-circuit sampler using the syringe module and brought into contact with the diaphragm. The color of the test strip on the diaphragm is observed. When the free water concentration in aviation kerosene is below 10 ppm, the test strip is pale yellow. If the free water concentration increases, a pale green or distinct green color will appear. The operator verifies the water content based on the color. This operation is a current standard requirement, and the equipment is typically carried by the operator or placed in a vehicle for periodic use. The diaphragms (i.e., the Shell water content analyzer in this application) are small and discarded after each test. However, such items cannot be discarded indiscriminately, especially in aircraft operating areas such as the tarmac, as this can create FOD (foul-forming matter). Relying solely on standard operating procedures cannot completely solve this problem. Furthermore, this one-time testing process has a limitation: when the diaphragm fails, the color change cannot reflect the water content. Utility Model Content

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] This embodiment discloses a water tester storage box for aviation fuel trucks, which is set on the flat plate of the aviation refueling truck and maintains an equipotential state with the aviation refueling truck. It has a space for holding the water tester and fixes and limits the water tester.

[0040] Specifically, the storage box in this embodiment includes a box body 1, which is a rectangular vertical structure. Its bottom is fixed to the flat surface of the aviation refueling vehicle and is generally placed in an empty space near the closed-circuit sampler. The box body 1 has a large space inside for placing the water meter, and the top of the box body 1 has an opening, on which a box cover 3 is provided, which is movably connected to the box body 1 and is closed by the box cover 3.

[0041] The entire box body 1 has a certain degree of waterproof performance. The lid 3 is a full-coverage design with a barrier. Its volume is larger than the opening size of the box body 1, which can cover the opening from top to bottom to form a good covering effect. At the same time, a sealing structure is set at the corresponding position of the lid 3 to improve the waterproof performance.

[0042] Inside the box 1, the vertical space from the opening downwards is divided into two areas by a horizontally placed base plate 4, namely the upper area and the lower area. In this embodiment, the upper area is used to place the various components of the water meter, and the lower area is used to place the disposable water meter shell (i.e., the diaphragm of the water meter in the prior art) after the test is completed. Therefore, the volume of the upper area in this embodiment is larger than that of the lower area.

[0043] In the upper section, two vertically placed partitions are provided. The side of the first partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1 and the bottom plate 4, thereby dividing the upper section into two parts in the horizontal direction. One part is the water tester verification area 10. Then, in the other part, a second partition is provided to divide it into a water tester placement area 8 and a water tester slide 9. The water tester slide 9 connects the upper section and the lower section. Used testers fall into the lower section for collection through the water tester slide 9.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-8 In this embodiment, the structure of box 1 is optimized and limited.

[0045] The box body 1 itself is made of thin metal sheet, and the partition and bottom plate 4 are integrally formed from the same metal sheet as the box body 1. The second partition is an L-shaped plate that is set in the middle of the first partition and connects to the side wall of the box body 1. Its side is connected to the first partition, the inner wall of the box body 1 and the bottom plate 4. The second partition and the first partition together form the water testing shell verification area 10.

[0046] Furthermore, a verification sponge 13 is installed at the bottom of the verification area 10 of the water testing shell. The bottom of the verification sponge 13 has a waterproof layer, i.e., a waterproof film, while the top surface has a recess. The entire verification sponge 13 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the verification area 10 of the water testing shell. During installation, the verification sponge 13 needs to be squeezed and deformed to be inserted, and a certain effect is achieved through its squeezing and expansion force. In use, the tested water testing shell is placed on the verification sponge 13, which has absorbed a certain amount of water, to moisten it. A normal water testing shell will absorb water and change color, while a failed water testing shell will not change color or the color will not match, which reflects whether the water test was effective.

[0047] Furthermore, the rectangular water-testing shell slide 9 within the housing 1 creates an L-shaped space for the water meter placement area 8. A limiting sleeve 11 is installed within this space. In this embodiment, the limiting sleeve 11 is made of rubber or non-absorbent sponge material, possessing some elasticity but offering superior anti-slip properties. Three placement holes 12 are provided on the limiting sleeve 11 for placing the water meter syringe and the tube containing several shells. The size of the placement holes 12 is smaller than the cross-sectional dimensions of the water meter and the tubes, thus achieving a limiting effect through elastic expansion.

[0048] The lid 3 at the opening of the box body 1 is designed as a cover, with a handle 5 on the front for easy opening and closing. The lid 3 is hinged to the box body 1 for rotational connection. When the lid 3 is fastened to the opening of the box body 1, its edge will conform to and block the side wall except for the hinged connection, thus providing a certain degree of coverage and restraint, and also offering some waterproofing. To further enhance its waterproof and dustproof performance, a corresponding rubber ring can be installed at the opening of the box body 1 for sealing.

[0049] The bottom of the box body 1 also features two L-shaped fixing plates 7, made of metal sheets of the same material and thickness as the box body 1, and with the same width. These plates are connected to the bottom of the box body 1 by rivets, bolts, or welding, and have a screw hole on their outer side for bolting to the flatbed of the aviation refueling vehicle. These fixing plates 7 create a gap between the box body 1 and the flatbed surface, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the flatbed surface from seeping into the box body 1 through the bottom. Simultaneously, the metal fixing plates 7 ensure that the box body 1 and the flatbed are at the same electrical potential.

[0050] The bottom of box 1 also has an opening connecting to the lower section, and a drawer 2 is located at the opening. The surface of drawer 2 has a pull ring 6. (See reference) Figure 8 The base plate 4 has a hole that connects to the water testing shell slide 9. After the shell is verified, it falls through the water testing shell slide 9 and is collected in the drawer 2. After the crew completes the refueling operation and returns to the corresponding area, they can take out the drawer 2 and empty the shell stored inside.

[0051] This utility model is not limited to the optional embodiments described above, and anyone can derive other various forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. The specific embodiments described above should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model shall be determined by the claims, and the description can be used to interpret the claims.
