[0023] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with specific implementation and by referring to the drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is only exemplary and not used as a limitation on the scope and application of the utility model.

[0024] As Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the device contains the guide frame fixed on the crane pipe downpipe 5 and the telescopic drive mechanism 2 installed on the guide frame and can be axially telescopic relative to the crane pipe downpipe 5, the bottom of the telescopic drive mechanism 2 is installed with the liquid receiving mechanism through the hinged shaft 11, the liquid receiving mechanism and the telescopic drive mechanism 2 form a flap structure through the hinged shaft 11, it can be understood that the two ends of the liquid receiving mechanism should exist weight difference, under the action of the weight difference, the two ends of the liquid receiving mechanism can swing up and down with the hinged shaft 11 as the center; when the telescopic drive mechanism 2 drives the liquid receiving mechanism to move away from the bottom of the crane pipe downpipe 5 and enters the liquid pouring station, the liquid receiving mechanism is inclined under the cooperation of the crane pipe downpipe 5 and the hinged shaft 11 and then automatically pours out the residual liquid in it, the outflowing residual liquid enters the pouring opening along the outer wall of the crane pipe downpipe 5 to realize recovery, specifically, the end of the liquid receiving mechanism in contact with the crane pipe downpipe 5 is resisted by the crane pipe downpipe 5 to swing with the hinged shaft 11 and then forms a height difference relative to the other end; when the telescopic drive mechanism 2 drives the liquid receiving mechanism to move close to the bottom of the crane pipe downpipe 5 and enters the liquid receiving station, the liquid receiving mechanism can swing with the hinged shaft 11 as the center and then be located directly below the bottom of the crane pipe downpipe 5 to realize the purpose of receiving the residual liquid on the outer wall and the inner wall of the crane pipe downpipe 5.

[0025] The telescopic drive mechanism 2 is any one of pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electric cylinder, and the pneumatic cylinder is preferred in the embodiment.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, in the loading crane pipe liquid receiving device, the liquid receiving mechanism forming the flap structure with the telescopic drive mechanism 2 can not only automatically enter the liquid receiving station to realize receiving the residual liquid from the outer wall and the inner wall of the crane pipe downpipe 5, but also automatically enter the liquid pouring station to pour out the received residual liquid without manual pouring and recovery, and without adding additional liquid level detection equipment, which reduces the use cost and improves the automatic performance of residual liquid treatment. In addition, in the execution process of the present scheme, the telescopic drive mechanism 2 only needs to move in the vertical direction to drive the liquid receiving mechanism to automatically swing based on the flap structure without rotating in the horizontal direction, which simplifies the device structure and reduces the overall volume of the device.

[0027] The liquid receiving mechanism comprises a liquid receiving groove 8 and a counterweight 7. The liquid receiving groove 8 comprises a liquid receiving end and a non-liquid receiving end. It can be understood that the size of at least the liquid receiving end should be adapted to the bottom of the vertical pipe 5. In the embodiment, the size of the liquid receiving end is preferably greater than the size of the bottom of the vertical pipe 5, so as to facilitate safe and effective receiving of residual liquid from the outer wall of the vertical pipe 5 and the inner tube. It can be understood that the shape of the liquid receiving groove can be designed as required. In the embodiment, the liquid receiving groove is preferably in the shape of a boat.

[0028] Specifically, when the telescopic driving mechanism 2 drives the liquid receiving mechanism away from the bottom of the vertical pipe 5 into the liquid releasing position, the end of the liquid receiving end in contact with the vertical pipe 5 is resisted by the vertical pipe 5, so that the current weight (the sum of the weight of the liquid receiving end itself and the resistance) is greater than the weight of the counterweight 7. At this time, the liquid receiving groove 8 is inclined, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 2 When the telescopic driving mechanism 2 drives the liquid receiving mechanism close to the bottom of the vertical pipe 5 until the liquid receiving end is not resisted by the vertical pipe 5 into the liquid receiving position, in this state, since the weight of the counterweight 7 is greater than the weight of the liquid receiving end, under the action of the counterweight 7, the liquid receiving groove 8 starts to rotate around the hinge shaft 11 until the liquid receiving end is in close contact with the bottom of the vertical pipe 5, as shown in FIG. 5. Figure 3 As can be seen, the present scheme comprises a liquid receiving groove 8 and a counterweight 7 cooperating with a hinge shaft 11 to form a flap structure. The use of the flap mode instead of the existing horizontal rotation mode can significantly simplify the design structure and use procedure of the liquid receiving mechanism, and improve the convenience and automation performance of the liquid receiving device.

[0029] The guide frame comprises a mounting base 4 and a guide rod 1. The mounting base 4 is fixed to the vertical pipe 5 by the hoop 6. In the embodiment, the mounting base 4 is mounted at a position close to the middle of the vertical pipe 5. The telescopic driving mechanism 2 is fixed to the mounting base 4. The guide rod 1 is mounted on the mounting base 4 and located at the outer periphery of the telescopic driving mechanism 2. The guide rod 1 can constitute a fixing frame of the telescopic driving mechanism 2 to limit and fix the telescopic driving mechanism 2, ensuring stable operation.

[0030] The guide rod 1 is a straight optical axis which is installed on the mounting base 4 through a linear bearing 3 and whose bottom end extends out of the linear bearing 3 to be hinged with the liquid receiving mechanism to move up and down synchronously with the liquid receiving mechanism. Specifically, in the embodiment, the downward movement of the straight optical axis constitutes a limiting frame of the transmission shaft of the telescopic driving mechanism 2. The limiting frame moves up and down synchronously with the liquid receiving mechanism to limit the transmission shaft of the telescopic driving mechanism 2, ensuring stable telescopic movement of the transmission shaft and avoiding shaking or deviation of the transmission shaft.

[0031] A linkage plate 10 is arranged between the mounting base 4 and the liquid receiving mechanism, and serves as an intermediate connecting plate between the liquid receiving mechanism and the telescopic driving mechanism 2 and the linear optical shaft. Specifically, the transmission shaft of the telescopic driving mechanism 2 and the bottom end of the linear optical shaft are both fixed to the upper end of the linkage plate 10, and the hinge shaft 11 is fixed to the bottom of the linkage plate 10. The arrangement of the linkage plate 10 can simplify the connection structure between the transmission shaft, the linear optical shaft and the liquid receiving mechanism.

[0032] A magnetic proximity switch 9 is arranged at the initial end and the terminal end of the telescopic stroke of the telescopic driving mechanism 2. A magnet corresponding to the magnetic proximity switch 9 is arranged on the telescopic driving mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the magnet is a magnetic ring provided on the telescopic driving mechanism 2, i.e., the pneumatic cylinder. The magnetic ring is arranged at the bottom of the piston of the pneumatic cylinder. The magnetic proximity switch 9 arranged at the initial end and the terminal end of the telescopic stroke of the telescopic driving mechanism 2 can monitor the running stroke of the piston of the pneumatic cylinder, and thus determine whether the pneumatic cylinder drives the liquid receiving mechanism to reach the liquid receiving station or the liquid discharging station.

[0033] In this embodiment, the magnetic proximity switch 9 is arranged on the cylinder body of the pneumatic cylinder. Of course, the magnetic proximity switch 9 can also be arranged on a support frame arranged around the pneumatic cylinder.

[0034] A control unit is arranged, which at least includes a controller and a liquid receiving electromagnetic valve and a liquid discharging electromagnetic valve for controlling the operation of the telescopic driving mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the controller can be a local controller or a remote controller, which is designed according to actual needs. It can be understood that the liquid receiving electromagnetic valve and the liquid discharging electromagnetic valve should be arranged in the control circuit of the pneumatic cylinder. Specifically, when the liquid receiving program is started, the liquid receiving electromagnetic valve is opened to start the extension of the pneumatic cylinder. When the liquid discharging program is started, the liquid discharging electromagnetic valve is started to start the contraction of the pneumatic cylinder.

[0035] The use principle of this embodiment includes:

[0036] This device is used in combination with a crane pipe. In the initial state (which can also be referred to as the liquid receiving station), the pneumatic cylinder is extended to drive the liquid receiving groove 8 to be located at the bottom of the crane pipe vertical pipe 5 (as shown in Figure 3 ). When the crane pipe is started, the crane pipe vertical pipe 5 runs above the tank opening. The controller sends a signal to the liquid discharging electromagnetic valve. At this time, the liquid discharging electromagnetic valve is opened, the pneumatic cylinder is retracted, the linear optical shaft can ensure that the pneumatic cylinder runs stably and is not easy to be twisted, and the liquid receiving groove 8 is lifted and tilted under the joint action of the crane pipe vertical pipe 5 and the pneumatic cylinder to pour the residual liquid into the tank opening (as shown in Figure 2 ). At the same time, the magnetic proximity switch 9 arranged at the initial end senses the magnetic ring of the pneumatic cylinder and gives an open-to-position signal. At this time, the liquid discharging step is completed, and the loading can be performed. When the loading is completed, the crane pipe vertical pipe 5 is lifted to a certain height, the controller sends a signal to the liquid receiving electromagnetic valve, the liquid receiving electromagnetic valve is opened and controls the pneumatic cylinder to be extended, and the liquid receiving groove 8 is lowered to the initial position (as shown inFigure 3 ), at this time the lower magnetic proximity switch 9 senses the pneumatic cylinder magnetic ring and gives a received position signal, at this time the liquid receiving is completed, and the crane pipe returns to the standby position.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the device can automatically realize the alignment, liquid receiving and liquid releasing operations without the participation of personnel, greatly reducing the safety hazards to the operating personnel, and the device has simple structure, convenient operation and low use cost, and has certain practical value and economic benefits.

[0038] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and the well-known specific structures and characteristics and other common knowledge in the scheme are not described in detail. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the present application, some improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application, and these will not affect the effect and practicality of the present application. The protection scope claimed in the present application should be subject to the content of the claims, and the specific implementation mode and the like recorded in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
