Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas refueling devices, specifically to a cryogenic refueling gun for liquefied natural gas. Background Technology

[0002] The cryogenic LNG filling nozzle is a dedicated piece of equipment for LNG refueling systems, primarily used to refuel LNG vehicles. Its design includes a sealing structure and bracket to ensure convenient and reliable operation. The nozzle connects to the filling hose and is freely movable, operated via a scissor-type dual-handle mechanism. After the nozzle aligns with the filling holder, LNG begins to be dispensed through the nozzle. Once filling is complete, the operator must detach the nozzle from the nozzle holder.

[0003] The existing structure uses a scissor-type operation for dual-handle drive. During use, the operator needs to forcefully pry the two handles during positioning and disassembly after docking. A considerable amount of force is required to complete the operation smoothly. When refueling different vehicles, the operator needs to repeatedly pry the two handles, which can easily lead to strain on the operator's arms. Utility Model Content

An alloy clamping block is fixedly installed at the end of the alloy arm.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the structure can be stably clamped onto the liquid filling bracket by the design of the number and distribution of alloy clamping blocks.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the automatic connection mechanism further includes a T-shaped pipe, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the base.

[0018] The above technical solution, through the design of the connecting pipe, allows the inner cavities of the tee pipe and the annular pipe to be connected, making it convenient for users to control from the grip.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cryogenic filling gun for liquefied natural gas, comprising:

[0031] Base 1, with a handle 11 fixedly installed on the right side of base 1;

[0032] Ejector mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the left side of base 1. Ejector mechanism 2 is used to control the filling status.

[0033] Automatic connection mechanism 3 is set on base 1 and ejector mechanism 2. Automatic connection mechanism 3 is used to automatically clamp on liquid filling card holder.

[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the ejector mechanism 2 includes a square pipe 21, which is fixedly installed on the left side of the base 1. An internally threaded interface pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square pipe 21. An extension pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the left side of the square pipe 21. A limit rod 25 is fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of the square pipe 21. A slider 26 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod 25. An ejector pin 27 is fixedly connected to the left side of the slider 26. A threaded component 24 is threadedly connected to the right side of the square pipe 21. The threaded end of the threaded component 24 extends into the inner cavity of the square pipe 21 and is rotatably connected to the right side of the slider 26. The pipe connector body 3... After connecting to the liquid filling seat, manually rotate the threaded part 24. Because the end of the threaded part 24 is rotatably connected to the slider 26, the slider 26 can be pushed to the left on the outer wall of the limit rod 25, causing the ejector pin 27 to move to the left. The end of the ejector pin 27 can then open the switch structure inside the liquid filling seat, facilitating the smooth operation of the filling work. Rotating the threaded part 24 in the opposite direction will drive the ejector pin 27 to move to the right, releasing the opening state of the liquid filling seat. A circular groove is reserved on the side of the base 1, which allows the operator to control the rotation of the threaded part 24 on the square pipe 21 from the other side of the base 1.

[0035] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the automatic connection mechanism 3 includes a pipe joint body 31, which is fixedly connected to the left end of the extension pipe 23. A connecting support rod 32 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pipe joint body 31. An annular pipe 33 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting support rod 32 away from the pipe joint body 31. A strip pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular pipe 33. An elastic element 341 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the strip pipe 34. A sliding block 342 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic element 341 away from the inner wall of the strip pipe 34. The sliding block 342 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the strip pipe 34. A limit block 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the strip pipe 34. 44. A sliding shaft 343 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding block 342 away from the elastic element 341. The end of the sliding shaft 343 away from the sliding block 342 extends to the outside of the strip tube 34 and is fixedly connected to an alloy arm 35. An alloy clamp 36 is fixedly installed at the end of the alloy arm 35. The automatic connection mechanism 3 also includes a three-way pipe 38, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the base 1. A connecting pipe 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the three-way pipe 38. The end of the connecting pipe 37 away from the three-way pipe 38 is fixedly connected to the right side of the annular pipe 33. The pipe joint body 31 is prior art and is used to adapt and connect with the vehicle's liquid filling card holder, while also serving as... The sealing function is achieved by designing the actual length of the gas source pipe 383 according to the usage environment. The gas source pipe 383 is a flexible hose, and the end of the gas source pipe 383 away from the input valve 382 is connected to an external gas source. The strip pipe 34 has four evenly distributed through holes at one end near the annular pipe 33. The inner cavity of the strip pipe 34 is connected to the inner cavity of the annular pipe 33 through these through holes. By controlling the opening of the input valve 382, ​​pressurized gas can be delivered into the three-way pipe 38. The gas can pass through the connecting pipe 37 and the annular pipe 33 into the inner cavity of the strip pipe 34. The air pressure pushes the sliding block 342 to slide, and then through the sliding shaft 343 and the alloy arm 35... The transmission causes the alloy clamp 36 to be clamped on the outer wall of the vehicle's liquid filling seat, thus achieving automatic fixation and reducing manpower consumption. When the gas pushes the sliding block 342 to slide, it will simultaneously stretch the elastic element 341. After the filling is completed, the control output valve 381 is opened. The initial elastic force of the elastic element 341 can drive the sliding block 342 to reset and slide. The limit block 344 limits the sliding block 342. The gas inside the strip tube 34 will pass through the annular pipe 33, connecting pipe 37 and three-way pipe 38 and then be output from the output valve 381. At this time, the alloy clamp 36 will move away from the liquid filling seat and release the clamping and fixing state.

[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4As shown, an output valve 381 is fixedly connected to one side of the three-way pipe 38, and an input valve 382 is fixedly connected to the other side of the three-way pipe 38. An air source pipe 383 is fixedly connected to the end of the input valve 382 away from the three-way pipe 38. A switch control device 384 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the three-way pipe 38. Both the output valve 381 and the input valve 382 are existing electric valves, which are closed when not in operation. The switch control device 384 is a combination structure of an existing control switch and a power supply. The power supply is used to supply power to the output valve 381 and the input valve 382, ​​and the control switch is used to control the opening and closing of the output valve 381 or the input valve 382 to facilitate the use of this structure.

[0037] Working principle: In use, the filling hose is first connected to the internal threaded interface pipe 22, and then the pipe connector body 31 is mated to the filling seat. Then, the control input valve 382 is opened to deliver pressurized gas into the three-way pipe 38. The gas can pass through the connecting pipe 37 and the annular pipe 33 into the inner cavity of the strip pipe 34. The air pressure pushes the sliding block 342 to slide, and through the transmission of the sliding shaft 343 and the alloy arm 35, the alloy clamp 36 is clamped on the outer wall of the vehicle filling seat. Then, the threaded part 24 is manually rotated in the forward direction, pushing the slider 26 to the left on the outer wall of the limit rod 25, causing the ejector pin 27 to move to the left. The end of the ejector pin 27 can then open the switch structure inside the liquid filling seat, facilitating the smooth operation of the filling process. After the filling is completed, the threaded part 24 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the ejector pin 27 to move to the right, releasing the opening state of the liquid filling seat. Then, the output valve 381 is opened, and the initial elastic force of the elastic part 341 can drive the sliding block 342 to reset and slide. The gas inside the strip tube 34 will pass through the annular pipe 33, the connecting pipe 37 and the three-way pipe 38 and then be output from the output valve 381. At this time, the alloy clamp 36 will move away from the liquid filling seat, releasing the clamping and fixing state. Then, this structure can be pulled out from the liquid filling seat to complete the filling operation.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
