Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquefied natural gas tanker technology, and in particular to an unloading mechanism for liquefied natural gas tankers. Background Technology

[0002] A liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker loading arm, also known as an arm-and-loader, is a material loading and unloading device that connects a tanker truck to a storage tank. It is suitable for loading and unloading LNG at cryogenic temperatures as low as -162 degrees Celsius and is widely used in LNG storage stations, peak-shaving stations, and gas filling stations. The LNG loading arm consists of three main material pipes, universal joints, and breakaway valves, ensuring a tight seal while also providing flexibility and safety.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a liquefied natural gas tanker unloading mechanism.

[0061] A liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker unloading mechanism includes a support block 1 and a support pipe 2, with the support pipe 2 fixedly connected to the support block 1. It also includes: a conveying pipe 3, disposed on and fixedly connected to the support pipe 2, for conveying LNG; multiple support rods 4 symmetrically arranged on the support block 1 and fixedly connected to it; a support ring 5 slidably connected to the support rods 4; a transport pipe 6 fixedly connected to the support ring 5; a clamping mechanism disposed on the support block 1 for clamping and fixing the support ring 5; and a compression mechanism disposed on the support pipe 2 for compressing the support ring 5, resulting in a tighter and more stable fit between the support ring 5 and the support block 1.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes: a clamping block 7, which is disposed on the support block 1 and fixedly connected to the support block 1; a clamping shaft 8, which is disposed on the clamping block 7 and rotatably connected to the clamping block 7; a clamping disc 9, which is fixedly connected to the clamping shaft 8; and a sliding component, which is disposed on the clamping block 7.

[0063] During operation, rotating the clamping disk 9 causes the clamping shaft 8, which is fixedly connected to the clamping disk 9, to rotate on the clamping block 7.

[0064] Reference Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the sliding component includes: a sliding groove 10 formed on the clamping block 7; a sliding rod 11 disposed in the sliding groove 10 and fixedly connected to the clamping block 7; a sliding block 12 slidably connected to the sliding groove 10 and threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8, and also slidably connected to the sliding rod 11; a sliding plate 13 fixedly connected to the sliding block 12; and a rectangular plate 14 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 13 and disposed on the clamping block 7.

[0065] During operation, the sliding block 12, which is threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8, rotates, causing the sliding block 12 to slide within the sliding groove 10, and then slides on the sliding rod 11, thereby causing the rectangular plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 13, to move closer to the support ring 5.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the transmission component includes: a transmission groove 15 formed on the clamping block 7; a transmission rod 16 disposed in the transmission groove 15 and fixedly connected to the clamping block 7; a transmission block 17 slidably connected to the transmission groove 15 and the transmission rod 16, and threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8; a transmission plate 18 fixedly connected to the transmission block 17; and a fixing plate 19 fixedly connected to the transmission plate 18.

[0067] During operation, the transmission block 17, which is threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8, rotates, causing the transmission block 17 to slide on the transmission rod 16, which in turn causes the transmission plate 18 to move the fixed plate 19 until the rectangular plate 14 and the fixed plate 19 are in contact with the surface of the support ring 5.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the extrusion mechanism includes: an extrusion block 20, which is disposed on the support tube 2 and fixedly connected to the support tube 2; an extrusion shaft 21, which is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 20; an extrusion screw block 22, which is disposed on the extrusion shaft 21 and fixedly connected to the extrusion shaft 21; and a moving component disposed inside the extrusion block 20.

[0069] During operation, rotating the extrusion screw block 22 causes the extrusion shaft 21, which is fixedly connected to the extrusion screw block 22, to rotate on the extrusion block 20.

[0070] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the moving component includes: a moving groove 23, which is formed within the extrusion block 20; two moving rods 24, which are symmetrically arranged within the moving groove 23 and fixedly connected to the extrusion block 20; a moving plate 25, which is disposed on the moving rods 24, slidably connected to the moving rods 24, slidably connected to the moving groove 23, and threadedly connected to the extrusion shaft 21; and a connecting component, which is disposed on the extrusion block 20.

[0071] During operation, the movable plate 25, which is threadedly connected to the extrusion shaft 21, rotates, causing the movable plate 25 to slide within the movable groove 23, and thus the movable plate 25 slides on the movable rod 24.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the connecting component includes: a connecting groove 26 formed on the extrusion block 20; a connecting block 27 slidably connected to the connecting groove 26 and fixedly connected to the moving plate 25; a connecting rod 28 fixedly connected to the connecting block 27; and a connecting plate 29 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 28.

[0073] During operation, the connecting block 27, which is fixedly connected to the moving plate 25, slides in the connecting groove 26, causing the connecting plate 29, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 28, to move closer to the surface of the support ring 5 until the connecting plate 29 and the surface of the support ring 5 are in contact.

[0074] Working principle: In use, first place the transport tank into the support block 1, then align the support ring 5 with the support rod 4, so that the support ring 5 slides on the support rod 4 until the support ring 5 is in contact with the support block 1. Then rotate the clamping disk 9, which drives the clamping shaft 8 fixedly connected to the clamping disk 9 to rotate on the clamping block 7, so that the sliding block 12 threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8 rotates, which drives the sliding block 12 to slide in the sliding groove 10, so that the sliding block 12 slides on the sliding rod 11, thereby driving the rectangular plate 14 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 13 to move closer to the support ring 5, so that the transmission block 17 threadedly connected to the clamping shaft 8 rotates, which drives the transmission block 17 to slide on the transmission rod 16, so that the transmission plate 18 drives the fixed plate 19 to move until the rectangular plate 14 and the fixed plate 19 are in contact with the surface of the support ring 5, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the support ring 5.

[0075] Next, rotating the extrusion screw block 22 causes the extrusion shaft 21, which is fixedly connected to the extrusion screw block 22, to rotate on the extrusion block 20. This causes the moving plate 25, which is threadedly connected to the extrusion shaft 21, to rotate, causing the moving plate 25 to slide in the moving groove 23. This causes the moving plate 25 to slide on the moving rod 24, thereby causing the connecting block 27, which is fixedly connected to the moving plate 25, to slide in the connecting groove 26. This causes the connecting plate 29, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 28, to move closer to the surface of the support ring 5 until the connecting plate 29 is in contact with the surface of the support ring 5. This achieves the extrusion and fixation of the support ring 5, preventing the connection between the hose and the support pipe 2 from loosening when unloading natural gas.

[0076] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
