[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] The utility model provides a portable oil filling connector pressure relief special tool.

[0028] In an embodiment of the utility model, a portable oil filling connector pressure relief special tool includes oil discharge pipe 1, protective cover 2 and safety assembly, one end of oil discharge pipe 1 is provided with the spout 3 for inserting the oil filling connector, the outer wall of spout 3 is sleeved with protective cover 2, the other end of oil discharge pipe 1 is detachably connected with external liquid storage equipment;Safety assembly is arranged on oil discharge pipe 1 and is used for balancing the potential difference between oil filling connector and external liquid storage equipment.

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the portable oil filler neck pressure relief special tool in the use process, the staff inserts the pipe 3 into the pressure relief port of the oil filler neck, and abuts the protective cover 2 to the outer wall of the oil filler neck, so that the residual oil in the oil filler neck can flow out along the pipe 3 and the oil discharge pipe 1 and be transported into the external liquid storage equipment, thereby completing the collection and taking operation of the oil, the structure is simple, reasonable and convenient to use. Further, since the protective cover 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe 3, when the pipe 3 is inserted into the oil filler neck, if the oil is instantaneously splashed out, the protective cover 2 can block the oil splash and collect the oil in the inner cavity of the protective cover 2, thereby not only avoiding the waste and pollution of the environment caused by the oil leakage, reducing the economic loss, but also effectively preventing the oil mist or oil from directly contacting the staff and causing harm to the health of the staff, and reducing the probability of secondary accidents such as staff slipping and equipment damage caused by oil splashing, safe and reliable to use.

[0030] Understandably, the external liquid storage equipment can be a water bucket, an oil recovery tank or an oil circulation system, etc., when the protective cover 2 is filled with oil, the staff only needs to pour the oil into the external liquid storage equipment to quickly recover the splashed oil, further reducing the waste of oil and improving the economic efficiency and work efficiency; at the same time, the portable oil filler neck pressure relief special tool in the actual manufacturing process, the staff can open the oil outlet on the outer wall of the protective cover 2 and install the plug in the oil outlet, when the oil in the protective cover 2 needs to be discharged, the staff can remove the plug so that the oil can flow out of the oil outlet to the external liquid storage equipment, without removing the protective cover 2 and the pipe 3 to pour the oil, realizing the synchronous discharge of the protective cover 2 and the oil filler neck, not only simplifying the operation steps, reducing the labor intensity of the staff, but also further improving the work efficiency, reliable to use.

[0031] Need to be explained is that, since the oil discharge pipe 1 is provided with a safety component, the safety component can be an anti-static wire or an equipotential connector, etc., so that the potential difference between the oil filler neck and the external liquid storage equipment can be balanced through the safety component, thereby avoiding the discharge spark caused by charge accumulation, eliminating the safety hazard of the discharge spark igniting the oil vapor, and significantly improving the safety in use. In addition, the portable oil filler neck pressure relief special tool is not used, the staff can wind and bind the oil discharge pipe 1, thereby facilitating carrying and taking, being beneficial to carrying and storing.

[0032] In an embodiment, the safety component includes a wire and two static electricity clamps 4, the wire is wound on the outer wall of the oil discharge pipe 1, and the two ends of the wire are connected with the two static electricity clamps 4 respectively, and the two static electricity clamps 4 are respectively used for detachable connection with the oil filler neck and the external liquid storage equipment. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, by winding the wire spirally on the outer wall of the oil discharge pipe 1, not only the wire interference with the oil flow is avoided, but also the synchronous bending of the wire and the oil discharge pipe 1 is ensured, and the structure design is simple and reasonable; at the same time, since the two static electricity guides 4 are connected to the two ends of the wire respectively, the static electricity guides 4 can be alligator clips or magnetic clips, and the static electricity guides 4 have insulating handles and anti-skid tooth patterns, so that the operation safety of the staff using the static electricity guides 4 can be ensured, and reliable clamping in the oil environment can be adapted. Specifically, the portable oil filling connector pressure relief special tool in the use process, the staff clamps two static electricity guides 4 on the metal shell of the oil filling connector and the external liquid storage equipment (such as the edge of the metal bucket), so as to form a closed conductive path, and then the potential difference is forced to balance before pressure relief, realizing electrostatic protection and improving the use safety.

[0033] In another embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The wire is arranged in the oil discharge pipe 1, and the two ends of the wire extend out of the oil discharge pipe 1 and are connected to the two static electricity guides 4. It can be understood that the wire can be an oil-resistant insulated wire in the prior art, by arranging the wire in the oil discharge pipe 1 and enabling the wire to form a coaxial layout with the oil discharge pipe 1, the wear risk caused by external winding of the wire can be avoided, and the flexibility of the wire and the oil discharge pipe 1 as a whole can be maintained, and the structure design is simple and reasonable.

[0034] In still another embodiment, the oil discharge pipe 1 and the safety assembly are integrated. As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 It can be understood that by integrating the oil discharge pipe 1 and the safety assembly, the assembly step between the oil discharge pipe 1 and the safety assembly can be omitted, the assembly gap is avoided, the assembly error is eliminated, and the manufacturing is easy. Further, the oil discharge pipe 1 can be a steel wire wound conductive rubber pipe, which generally includes three layers from the inside to the outside, i.e. an inner lining layer, a reinforcing layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is an oil-resistant fluororubber pipe, which can ensure the passability of the oil; the reinforcing layer is a spiral copper-plated steel wire mesh, which can not only serve as a pressure bearing framework of the oil discharge pipe 1, but also form a continuous conductive path; the outer layer can be an ultraviolet-resistant neoprene, which can cover and shield the inner lining layer and the reinforcing layer, and at the same time, an electrostatic grounding mark is marked on the surface of the outer layer to improve the use safety. It should be noted that the copper-plated steel wire mesh is provided with a quick-release grounding terminal at both ends by laser welding, thereby forming a complete conductive path from the oil filling connector to the external liquid storage equipment.

[0035] In an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1As shown, the oil drain pipe 1 and the protective cover 2 are both transparent material pieces; the end of the protective cover 2 away from the oil drain pipe 1 is open and provided with a sealing ring 5. Understandably, by adopting the transparent material pieces for the oil drain pipe 1 and the protective cover 2, it is convenient for the staff to visually check the flow state of the oil in the oil drain pipe 1 and the accumulation of the oil mist or oil in the protective cover 2, thereby improving the controllability of the pressure relief operation. Further, when the staff inserts the insertion pipe 3 into the oil filler joint, at this time, the protective cover 2 abuts against the oil filler joint and closes the opening, and at the same time, the sealing ring 5 at the opening is elastically deformed under the pressure and fills the gap between the protective cover 2 and the oil filler joint, thereby effectively preventing the oil from leaking and ensuring the collection effect of the oil, which is reliable in use.

[0036] In an embodiment, an external drainage pipe is connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 2 and detachably connected to an external oil storage device. Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 By the external drainage pipe, the oil in the protective cover 2 can be directly delivered to the external oil storage device, without the need for the staff to perform other recovery operations on the oil in the protective cover 2, which is more simple and convenient in use and improves the work efficiency. In addition, the detachable connection between the external drainage pipe and the external oil storage device can be a buckle or a clamping sleeve joint, so as to clamp and limit the external drainage pipe, prevent the external drainage pipe from shaking at will and affecting the normal flow of the oil into the external oil storage device, and ensure the drainage effect of the oil in the protective cover 2.

[0037] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
