Description

An emergency release structure for an LNG unloading arm Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of LNG loading and unloading arm technology, and in particular to an emergency release structure for an LNG unloading arm. Background Technology

[0002] LNG (liquefied natural gas) loading and unloading arms are a type of equipment specifically designed for loading and unloading liquefied natural gas. They are mainly used for the transfer of LNG between ships and shore-based facilities. Their function is to safely transport LNG from ships to shore storage tanks or vice versa. The operation must ensure safety, accuracy, and efficiency, so loading and unloading arms are required when loading and unloading liquefied natural gas.

[0003] Currently, when using LNG loading and unloading arms, a detachment structure is required to separate the LNG loading and unloading arms. However, the current detachment structure is difficult to quickly disconnect the loading and unloading arms from the LNG carrier or shore base, which poses a safety hazard during use.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose an emergency detachment structure for LNG unloading arms. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an emergency release structure for an LNG unloading arm to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An emergency release structure for an LNG unloading arm includes a connecting plate, a vertical plate fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the connecting plate, a support plate fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the vertical plate, a U-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the left side of the support plate, a connecting disc slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate, an opening on the right side of the support plate, a control plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the opening, a housing slidably connected to the outer surface of the control plate, the left side of the housing fixedly mounted to the right side of the U-shaped plate, a toothed groove on the bottom surface of the control plate, an insertion port on the right side of the connecting disc, an insertion block inside the insertion port, the right side of the insertion block fixedly mounted to the left side of the control plate, a control port on the bottom surface of the housing, and two support blocks fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the housing. A gear is fixedly rotated on one side of the two support blocks that are close to each other. A motor is fixedly mounted at the front end of the gear, and the back of the motor is fixedly mounted to the front of one of the support blocks. The gear meshes with the toothed groove.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a protective shell is fitted onto the outer surface of the motor, and the upper surface of the protective shell is fixedly installed to the bottom surface of the housing.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the interior of the housing is provided with a buffer pad, and the left side of the buffer pad is fixedly installed with the right side of the control panel.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a fixing seat is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the housing, and the bottom surface of the fixing seat is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the support plate.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the upper surface of the connecting plate has two insertion holes, and the inner wall of each insertion hole is slidably connected with an insertion rod. The upper surface of each insertion rod is fixedly installed to the inner top wall of the U-shaped plate.

[0012] In a further embodiment, two mounting holes are provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate, and warning stickers are fixedly installed on both the front and back of the housing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This application incorporates a motor that powers the gears, enabling them to rotate. The meshing of the gears and their teeth allows the control panel to move left and right, thereby controlling the movement of the insert block. This releases the insert block from the positioning of the connecting plate, allowing the connecting plate to move downwards along the U-shaped plate. This enables the connecting plate to detach quickly, disconnecting the loading / unloading arm from the LNG carrier. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The working principle of this application is:

[0027] In use, the connecting plate 4 and connecting plate 1 are connected to the loading and unloading arm and the transport ship. When an emergency separation is required, the motor 22 is started, which drives the gear 18 to rotate. The gear 18 and the tooth groove 17 work together to push the control plate 14 to move. As the control plate 14 moves, the plug 13 is pulled out of the socket 15. As the plug 13 moves, it releases the positioning of the connecting plate 4, allowing the connecting plate 4 to move downward along the U-shaped plate 5, thereby separating the connecting plate 4 from the support plate 6.
