They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-4 An automatic locking pneumatic sealing cap includes a sealing cap body 1, a plurality of pressure blocks 2 disposed below the sealing cap body 1, and a sealing drive mechanism installed on the sealing cap body 1 for driving each pressure block 2 to flip upward together; wherein the pressure block 2 is used to flip upward to abut against the lower edge of the can opening 18, so that the sealing cap body 1 is pressed onto the can opening to achieve loading arm sealing.

[0023] The sealing drive mechanism includes a support frame 3 fixedly mounted above the sealing cap body 1. The support frame 3 has a downward through-hole in the middle, and a double-outlet cylinder 4 is correspondingly provided in the installation hole. The double-outlet cylinder 4 includes a cylinder barrel 5 and a piston rod 6. The cylinder barrel 5 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support frame 3, and the piston rod 6 is coaxially slidably disposed inside the cylinder barrel 5. The two end faces of the piston rod 6 are connected to form a conveying channel.

[0024] A mounting plate 7 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the piston rod 6. The middle part of the mounting plate 7 is provided with a discharge port 19 that communicates with the conveying channel. The edge of the mounting plate 7 is provided with a number of mounting grooves 8 that match the number of pressure blocks 2. A mounting shaft 9 is fixedly provided in each mounting groove 8. A swing arm 10 is rotatably sleeved on each mounting shaft 9. The other end of each swing arm 10 is connected to a pressure block 2. A connecting arm 11 is provided between each swing arm 10 and the cylinder 5. The two ends of each connecting arm 11 are rotatably connected to the swing arm 10 and the cylinder 5, respectively.

[0025] A first hinge seat 12 is fixedly provided on the side of the swing arm 10 near the corresponding connecting arm 11, and a second hinge seat 13 matching the first hinge seat 12 is fixedly provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 5. Both ends of each connecting arm 11 are rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 12 and the second hinge seat 13, respectively. The rotatable connection is achieved by additionally installing hinge seats, eliminating the need for slotting or drilling into the swing arm 10 and connecting arm 11 themselves, thus ensuring the overall strength of the swing arm 10 and connecting arm 11 and improving the clamping effect of the pressure block 2. In this embodiment, the connecting arm is L-shaped to prevent interference with the bottom of the cylinder.

[0026] The sealing cap body 1, support frame 3 and mounting plate 7 are all coaxially arranged. The mounting groove 8 is evenly arranged on the mounting plate 7 along the circumference. Several fastening bolts 14 that connect to the bottom of the piston rod 6 are provided on the mounting plate 7 between the mounting groove 8 and the discharge port.

[0027] A connecting flange 15 is fixedly provided on the top of the piston rod 6. The inner diameter of the connecting flange 15 corresponds to the diameter of the conveying channel. The connecting flange 15 is used to connect with the loading arm to ensure that a seal is formed between the loading arm and the conveying channel.

[0028] The other end of the swing arm 10 is fixedly or rotatably connected to the pressure block 2, and a buffer pad 16 is fixedly installed on the pressure block 2; a sealing gasket 17 is provided between the cylinder 5 and the support frame 3 to ensure the sealing effect of the can opening.

[0029] This utility model also includes an air supply device and an air delivery pipe, wherein one end of the air delivery pipe is connected to the air supply port of the air supply device, and the other end of the air delivery pipe is connected to the two air ports of the dual-outlet cylinder 4 through an air supply switching valve. The air supply switching valve is specifically a three-position four-way reversing valve, the structure, connection relationship and working principle of which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Working principle: This utility model is an automatic locking pneumatic sealing cap. During loading, the operator places the lower edge of the sealing cap body 1 onto the tank opening, so that the lower part of the sealing cap body 1 extends into the tank opening. Figure 2 The loading arm vertical pipe is connected to the sealing cap via the connecting flange 15, and then the air supply device is turned on to introduce air into the air port of the double-outlet cylinder 4, thereby driving the piston rod 6 and its mounting plate 7 to move downward. The mounting plate 7 drives one end of the swing arm 10 to move downward. Since the connecting arm 11 and the swing arm 10 are rotatably connected and have a fixed length, the swing arm 10 is pulled by the connecting arm 11 during the downward movement, and the other end of the swing arm 10 gradually flips upward and outward until the pressure block 2 abuts against and presses against the lower edge of the tank opening. Figure 3 At this point, the sealing cap body 1 is pressed against the tank opening to achieve a sealing of the loading arm.

[0031] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
