[0027] The method for using the device: first, connect the quick connector 8 with the oil tank truck, for diesel, connect the upper end of the quick connector with the diesel unloading port, after the connection is completed, pull down the locking buckle 10 to make it rotate downward around the rotating shaft 9, so as to lock the quick connector and the unloading port, for gasoline, directly connect the lower end with the gasoline unloading port, in this process, the tapered plug 13 will be compressed due to the pressure, so as to compress the elastic component, open the channel between the quick connector 8 and the oil inlet 11, after all the connection work is completed, open the oil valve of the oil tank truck, let the oil sample enter the transparent glass measuring cylinder 1 through the quick connector hose 2, as the oil sample flows in, the float 6 will rise along the guide groove 5 and indicate the current liquid level, after collecting enough oil sample, close the oil valve and stop the oil sample from flowing in, then open the pressure relief switch 701 to balance the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the transparent glass measuring cylinder 1, at this time, the density measuring meter 4 will be vertically suspended in the oil sample, the user observes the scale number parallel to the density measuring meter 4, reads the density value of the oil sample according to the scale line, at the same time, the quality of the oil sample can be directly checked through the transparent glass measuring cylinder 1, such as whether there are impurities, after the measurement is completed, open the float check valve 7 and connect it to the siphon device to safely return the oil sample in the transparent glass measuring cylinder 1 to the oil tank, finally, disassemble the quick connector 8 of the unloading port, and end the density measurement operation, the whole process is not only fast and convenient, but also avoids exposing the oil sample to the air, ensuring the safety of the staff and the accuracy of the measurement results.

Connect the water inlet of the water pump 18 to a reliable clean water source, open the water inlet valve 1701, and start the water pump 18 to pump clean water into the annular water spraying pipe 17, so that the annular water spraying pipe 17 generates uniform water flow to comprehensively flush the inside of the oil discharge quick connector 8. The water flow will be sprayed out of the multiple nozzles of the annular water spraying pipe 17, covering the entire inner wall, including hard-to-reach corners. During the cleaning process, the opening of the water inlet valve 1701 can be adjusted as needed to control the water flow and pressure, ensuring the best cleaning effect. After cleaning is completed, close the water inlet valve 1701 and stop the water pump 18, and then drain the waste water in the oil discharge quick connector 8.
