BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0010] To more clearly illustrate the solutions in this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained from these drawings without creative effort.

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the automated CNG filling valve remote closing device of this utility model;

[0012] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the fit between the valve handle sleeve and the valve handle of the remote closing device for automated CNG filling valves;

[0013] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the fit between the valve handle sleeve and the valve handle; this is in exploded view mode.

[0014] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of the automated CNG filling valve remote closing device of this utility model.

[0015] The markings in the diagram are explained as follows: 1. Valve handle sleeve; 11. Square tube body; 12. Steel wire connecting lug; 13. Connecting hole; 14. Locking screw hole; 15. Locking screw; 2. Guide rail; 3. Movable bracket; 4. Bracket pulley; 5. Steel wire rope; 6. Electric actuator; 7. Remote controller; 9. Control harness. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the automated CNG filling valve remote closing device includes a horizontally arranged guide rail 2, on which a horizontally movable support 3 is provided. The top of the movable support 3 is provided with a support pulley 4, and a steel wire rope 5 is provided on the support pulley 4.
