Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of sealing devices for large loading arms tank openings, specifically a bladder-locking sealing device for large loading arms tank openings. Background Technology

[0002] In liquid loading and unloading operations in industries such as petroleum and chemicals, the large loading arm is a key device connecting storage tanks and transportation equipment. Its tank opening sealing performance is directly related to operational safety, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency.

[0003] In the existing technology, the sealing of the tank opening of the large loading arm is mostly done by mechanical compression, which can effectively achieve the sealing effect. However, there are still technical defects in practical applications. Most large loading arm tank openings are prone to leakage of oil and gas from the tank opening due to uneven distribution of compression force. There is still room for improvement in this aspect. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model mainly provides a large loading arm tank opening airbag locking sealing device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A large loading arm tank opening airbag locking sealing device includes a main structure and an airbag structure. The main structure includes an inner tube, and an outer tube is provided outside the inner tube. A flange is provided at the bottom of the outer tube, and the flange is fixedly connected to the airbag structure by bolts.

[0007] The airbag structure includes an airbag, an inflation port, and a fixing frame. The upper and lower sides of the fixing frame are snapped into the airbag, and the top of the airbag is provided with an inflation port.

[0008] Furthermore, the airbag structure also includes a fixed plate, a base, a liquid level sensor, and a sealing gasket. The top of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the fixed plate by bolts, and the bottom of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the base by bolts. A liquid level sensor is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the airbag is V-shaped and becomes bulging after inflation to adapt to can openings of different diameters and achieve uniform sealing.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid level sensor can monitor the oil level in real time and provide feedback to the control system.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the fixing frame and the fixing plate, and a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the fixing frame and the chassis.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] Significantly improved sealing performance: The airbag locking sealing structure is adopted. After the airbag is inflated, it becomes round and forms a uniform and tight fit with the inner wall of the tank opening, which effectively avoids oil and gas leakage caused by uneven mechanical clamping force and significantly improves sealing reliability.

[0014] Highly adaptable and compatible with various can opening sizes: The flexible design of the airbag allows it to adapt to can openings of different diameters or slight deformations. The V-arc structure enhances the uniformity of expansion after inflation, reduces dependence on can opening precision, and lowers installation difficulty.

[0015] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, a large loading arm tank opening airbag locking sealing device includes a main structure 1 and an airbag structure 2. The main structure 1 includes an inner tube 12, an outer tube 11 is provided outside the inner tube 12, and a flange 13 is provided at the bottom of the outer tube 11. The flange 13 is fixedly connected to the airbag structure 2 by bolts 14.

[0024] The airbag structure 2 includes a fixed plate 21, a fixed frame 22, an airbag 23, a base 24, an inflation port 25, a liquid level sensor 26, and a sealing gasket 27. The top of the fixed frame 22 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 21 by bolts 14, and the bottom of the fixed frame 22 is fixedly connected to the base 24 by bolts 14. The upper and lower sides of the fixed frame 22 are snapped into the airbag 23. The airbag is made of oil-resistant and low-temperature-resistant material, and the airbag 23 is V-shaped. After inflation, it becomes round to adapt to tank openings of different diameters and achieve uniform sealing. The top of the airbag 23 is provided with an inflation port 25, and the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 22 is provided with a liquid level sensor 26. The liquid level sensor 26 monitors the oil level in real time and feeds back the electrical signal to the control system to control the delivery of oil.

[0025] A sealing gasket 27 is provided at the connection between the fixed frame 22 and the fixed plate 21, and a sealing gasket 27 is provided at the connection between the fixed frame 22 and the chassis 24 to prevent oil and gas from leaking through gaps.

[0026] The specific operation method of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] According to the tank opening size, insert the inner tube 12 of the main structure 1 into the tank opening until the fixing plate 21 is in contact with the tank opening flange. Use an external inflation device to inflate gas into the air bag 23 through the inflation hole 25. The air bag 23 gradually expands from a V-shaped arc to a bulging round shape, which fits tightly against the inner wall of the tank opening to prevent oil and gas leakage. At the same time, the oil level sensor 26 monitors the oil level in real time and feeds back the electrical signal to the control system to control the oil delivery. After the oil delivery is completed, the air in the air bag 23 is discharged and the inner tube 12 is removed.
