Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fluid loading and unloading device, and in particular to an environmentally friendly fluid loading and unloading connector. Background Technology
[0002] Fluids are generally transported using tank trucks. The tank trucks are filled by connecting storage tanks to the tank trucks via pipe joints for pressurization. The existing form of the tank truck interface is primarily a male connector, with at least one groove formed around the circumference of the male connector's insertion post. The groove has an arc-shaped cross-section. Currently, conventional female connectors are often used for connection. After connection, two cams on the female connector are manually rotated to engage the cams into the grooves.
[0003] The female connector contains a leak-proof sealing mechanism. After filling and before separating the pipe joint, it is usually necessary to perform operations outside the pipe to ensure the leak-proof sealing mechanism is sealed before pipe separation. Current technology uses a gear and rack mechanism inside the connector to control the sealing piston, and an operating mechanism outside the pipe to control the gears. However, the gear and rack are constantly exposed to highly corrosive fluids, which significantly reduces their lifespan, causes operational difficulties, leads to incomplete sealing, and can result in leaks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by proposing a fluid loading and unloading environmentally friendly connector with high connection reliability.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a fluid loading and unloading environmental protection connector, including a connecting flange component and a quick docking component. The quick docking component includes a female connector, a positioning steel ball, a fixing sleeve and a backstop spring. A connecting valve body is provided between the connecting flange component and the quick docking component. The characteristic is that the connecting valve body includes a core tube connected between the female connector and the connecting flange. An outer shell tube that can rotate along the core tube is fitted outside the core tube. A rotary sealing mechanism is provided between the two ends of the outer shell tube and the core tube.
[0006] The female connector has a leak-proof sealing buckle and a sealing body that mates with the sealing buckle on its inner diameter. A piston rod that connects to the sealing body is located inside the connecting core tube.
[0007] The connecting core tube has a spiral groove on its wall. A transverse control rod is fixedly installed at the end of the piston rod. The end of the transverse control rod extends out of the spiral groove of the connecting core tube. A limiting straight groove that cooperates with the transverse control rod is opened along the axial direction of the outer shell tube on the inner wall of the outer shell tube. The end of the transverse control rod is set in the limiting straight groove.
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved by the following technical solution: a positioning and locking mechanism is provided between the core tube and the outer shell tube.
[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: the positioning and locking mechanism includes a locking groove provided on the core tube wall, and a corresponding locking hole and positioning pin provided on the outer shell tube.
[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: the outer shell tube is equipped with a handle for convenient rotation of the outer shell tube.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the transmission mechanism and drive mechanism of the leak-proof sealing mechanism are both set inside the outer shell tube, which has a simple structure, high connection reliability, convenient operation and good leak-proof effect. Attached Figure Description
