[0025] The gas flow prevention backflow assembly 8 comprises a backflow prevention outer bin 801 arranged on the side edge of the top end of the support column 2, a backflow prevention inner bin 802 arranged in the backflow prevention outer bin 801, an air inlet cavity 803 arranged in the backflow prevention inner bin 802, the output end of the loading and unloading arm 4 extending through the backflow prevention outer bin 801 and the backflow prevention inner bin 802 into the air inlet cavity 803, and a gas conveying cavity 804 arranged on the side edge of the air inlet cavity 803, and the end of the conveying pipe 7 extending through the backflow prevention outer bin 801 and the backflow prevention inner bin 802 into the gas conveying cavity 804.

[0026] The air inlet cavity 803 and the gas conveying cavity 804 are connected through two gas conveying channels 805 arranged therebetween, a closing plug 806 is slidingly arranged on the side edge of the air inlet cavity 803, the end of the closing plug 806 is inserted into the end of the loading and unloading arm 4, two limiting insertion grooves 807 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the air inlet cavity 803, a support insertion rod 808 is slidingly inserted into the limiting insertion groove 807, the end of the support insertion rod 808 is connected to the side edge of the closing plug 806 perpendicularly, a resisting spring 809 is sleeved on the support insertion rod 808, one end of the resisting spring 809 is connected to the inner wall of the air inlet cavity 803, and the other end of the resisting spring 809 is in contact with the side wall of the closing plug 806.

[0027] In the embodiment, the two sides of the backflow prevention inner bin 802 are connected to the backflow prevention outer bin 801 through the fixed connecting blocks 810 arranged therebetween.

[0028] The backflow prevention inner bin 802 is more stably arranged in the backflow prevention outer bin 801.

[0029] In the embodiment, the side edge of the air inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the support column 2 through the fixed clamps arranged therebetween.

[0030] The air inlet pipe 5 can be stably fixed on the support column 2.

[0031] In the embodiment, the end of the conveying pipe 7 is connected to the top end of the support column 2 through the connecting plate arranged therebetween.

[0032] The gas flow prevention backflow assembly 8 arranged on the conveying pipe 7 can be stably arranged on the top end of the support column 2.

[0033] In the embodiment, the existing CNG loading and unloading arm is used for loading and unloading natural gas in actual use, but lacks a corresponding gas flow backflow prevention mechanism, and when the gas pressure in the tank body is higher than the gas pressure in the mother station, the residual air or other natural gas of different qualities in the tank body will enter the mother station through the valve when the valve is gradually opened, thereby affecting the purity of the natural gas stored in the mother station, and there is a certain defect in use.

[0034] In summary, when the user needs to use the loading and unloading arm 4 to load and unload natural gas, the gas flow prevention assembly 8 is arranged between the loading and unloading arm 4 and the conveying pipe 7.

When the natural gas is conveyed through the loading and unloading arm 4, the high-pressure natural gas can push the closing plug 806 resisting the end of the loading and unloading arm 4, so that the natural gas can enter the gas inlet cavity 803. The natural gas in the gas inlet cavity 803 enters the gas conveying cavity 804 through the gas conveying channel 805, and is conveyed into the transfer tank through the conveying pipe 7.

[0035] When the user opens the valve on the loading and unloading arm 4, the residual high-pressure gas in the transfer tank enters the gas conveying cavity 804 through the conveying pipe 7. Since the closing plug 806 resists the opening of the gas conveying channel 805 and the gas inlet cavity 803, the gas in the tank can be blocked, thereby effectively preventing the residual gas in the tank from entering the mother station through the loading and unloading arm 4, making the natural gas conveying process safer, effectively preventing the risk of backflow of residual gas in the transfer tank, ensuring the purity of the natural gas stored in the mother station, and making the use more convenient for the user.
