Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tank truck cleaning and connection structures, and in particular to a pipeline stabilization connection device for steam cleaning of tank trucks. Background Technology

[0002] Tank trucks are common devices for transporting various liquid raw materials and products. When the type of goods transported by a tank truck changes, the interior of the tank truck needs to be cleaned. Among the existing cleaning methods, liquid cleaning is the most common. Among various cleaning methods, high-pressure steam cleaning can greatly shorten the cleaning time and clean more thoroughly. However, during high-pressure steam cleaning, due to the different sizes and heights of tank truck bodies, the stability of the steam pipes when placed at the drain or inlet is not secure enough. The existing method of securing steam pipes is mostly to tie the pipes to the tank truck with ropes. However, this method has the disadvantages of slow connection and connection speed, and the pipe outlet is prone to movement when high-pressure steam passes through, which poses a safety hazard. Furthermore, when several trucks need to be cleaned at the same time, the connection speed is slow, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing pipe connection method for steam cleaning to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a stable pipeline connection device for steam cleaning of tank trucks that offers fast connection speed, good stability, improved cleaning efficiency, and enhanced operational safety.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A pipe stabilization connection device for steam cleaning of tank trucks includes: a connecting bar, a sliding seat, a support rod, an adjusting seat, a guide rod, a toothed groove, a sliding block, a telescopic support rod, a connecting block, a connecting rotary plate, a connecting ring, an end support rod, a positioning groove, a positioning sleeve, a support block, an adjusting gear, an adjusting handle, a support arm, and a support screw. A T-shaped slide rail is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle position of the connecting bar. The sliding seat is slidably connected to the T-shaped slide rail. The support rod is fixedly connected to the sliding seat. The adjusting seat is adjusted and sleeved onto the support rod. The guide rod is perpendicular to the connecting bar and slidably connected to the adjusting seat. The upper surface of the guide rod has equidistant toothed grooves. The sliding block is slidably connected to the guide rod. The upper end of the telescopic support rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding block. The connecting block is adjustable and slidably connected. On the telescopic strut, the connecting plate is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block, the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the upper end of the end strut is rotatably connected to the end of the guide rod away from the connecting strip, the positioning grooves are equidistantly opened on the upper surface of the T-shaped slide rail, the positioning sleeve is U-shaped, the positioning sleeve is symmetrically and movably connected to both sides of the sliding seat, the positioning sleeve is respectively connected to the positioning groove, the support block is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the corresponding adjustment seat surface on both sides of the guide rod, the adjusting gear is rotatably connected to the middle of the two support blocks, one end of the adjusting handle is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the adjusting gear, four support arms are provided, one end of each support arm is movably connected to the end position of both sides of the connecting strip, and the support screws are respectively threaded to the other end of each support arm.

[0006] Optionally, end blocks are also included, which are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the connecting strips at both ends of the T-shaped slide rail.

[0007] Optionally, mounting holes are also included, which are equidistantly formed on the surfaces of both sides of the connecting strip.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] To better understand the technical solutions presented in the embodiments of this application, the working principle of the existing stable connection of pipelines for steam cleaning of tank trucks will be introduced first.

[0021] In existing tanker pipeline cleaning processes, one person holds the steam pipe while another holds the steam nozzle. Due to the high pressure of the steam pipe being cleaned, dangerous situations can easily occur. To reduce the danger, existing methods use ropes to tie the outlet end of the steam pipe to the vehicle body. However, due to the different sizes, heights, and dimensions of existing vehicles, the connection position is sometimes not suitable, and even if tied, it is not stable enough. Therefore, an external support and fixing structure is needed to solve this problem. Hence, the structure proposed in this application is proposed.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a pipeline stabilization connection device for steam cleaning of tank trucks, comprising: a connecting bar 1, a sliding seat 3, a support rod 4, an adjusting seat 5, a guide rod 6, a toothed groove 61, a sliding block 7, a telescopic support rod 8, a connecting block 9, a connecting rotary plate 10, a connecting ring 11, an end support rod 12, a positioning groove 13, a positioning sleeve 14, a support block 15, an adjusting gear 16, an adjusting handle 17, a support arm 18, and a support screw 19. A T-shaped slide rail 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle position of the connecting bar 1. The sliding seat 3 is slidably connected to the T-shaped slide rail 2. The support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 3. The adjusting seat 5 is adjusted and sleeved on the support rod 4. The guide rod 6 is perpendicular to the connecting bar 1 and slidably connected to the adjusting seat 5. Toothed grooves 61 are equidistantly opened on the upper surface of the guide rod 6. The sliding block 7 is slidably connected to the guide rod 6. The upper end of the telescopic support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding block 7. Connecting block 9 is slidably connected to telescopic support rod 8. Connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected to one side of connecting block 9. Connecting ring 11 is fixedly connected to connecting plate 10. The upper end of end support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the end of guide rod 6 away from connecting bar 1. Positioning groove 13 is equidistantly opened on the upper surface of T-shaped slide rail 2. Positioning sleeve 14 is U-shaped and symmetrically movably connected to both sides of sliding seat 3. Positioning sleeve 14 is respectively connected to positioning groove 13. Support block 15 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of adjustment seat 5 on both sides of guide rod 6. Adjusting gear 16 is rotatably connected to the middle of two support blocks 15. One end of adjustment handle 17 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of adjustment gear 16. Four support arms 18 are provided. One end of each support arm 18 is movably connected to the end position of both sides of connecting bar 1. Support screw 19 is threadedly connected to the other end of each support arm 18.

[0023] Specifically, the connecting strip 1 is designed for easy transport and transfer. It is relatively heavy and is placed at the front or rear of the vehicle. The sliding seat 3 on it can move along the T-shaped slide rail 2, and its position is fixed at a specific point on the T-shaped slide rail 2 via the positioning groove 13 and positioning sleeve 14. The adjusting seat 5 on the support rod 4 is connected to a certain height of the support rod 4 via a positioning knob and other structures. During use, shaking the adjusting handle 17 rotates the adjusting gear 16 on the support block 15, which in turn moves the guide rod 6 via the tooth groove 61. This design allows for flexible adjustment to accommodate vehicles of different lengths. The rectangular cross-section of the guide rod 6 prevents rotation, thus ensuring that the sliding block 7 on it remains stationary under load. Without rotating, the telescopic support rod 8 can extend and retract as needed, thereby installing the connecting block 9 on it. During use, the height is adjusted first through the connecting block 9, thereby changing the position and angle of the connecting ring 11 on the connecting plate 10 to connect to the required steam pipe position. The position remains stable when steam is turned on. The connecting ring 11 is easy to disassemble. The end support rod 12 is inclined to support the end of the guide rod 6, and together with the support rod 4, it achieves a stable connection. Compared with the existing binding structure, this provides better stability, faster connection speed, and a significantly improved safety factor. The support arm 18 can also be extended, and then connected to the ground at the use position through the support screw 19, achieving a more stable support state and further improving stability.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes end blocks 20, which are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the connecting strips 1 at both ends of the T-shaped slide rail 2.

[0025] Specifically, the end stop 20 can block the movement of the sliding seat 3 and prevent it from slipping.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes mounting holes 21, which are equidistantly formed on the surfaces of both sides of the connecting strip 1.

[0027] Specifically, the mounting hole 21 allows for the connection of facilities in some fixed cleaning sites, making the connecting strip 1 a single unit with the ground, resulting in better stability.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a mating groove 22, which is symmetrically opened on both sides of the connecting strip 1, and the lower end of the support screw 19 is mated and connected to the mating groove 22.

[0029] Specifically, the groove 22 is designed to fit the lower end of the support screw 19, making it easier to store during movement.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a pad 23, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic support rod 8.

[0031] Specifically, the pad 23 is designed to work in conjunction with the lower end of the telescopic strut 8, thereby improving its stability.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a support head 24, which is movably connected to the lower end of the end strut 12.

[0033] Specifically, the support head 24 is designed to fit the bottom of the end support rod 12, enabling it to maintain stable contact with the ground at different heights and thus a better connection.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes scale lines 25, which are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the support rod 4.

[0035] Specifically, the setting of the 25 mark makes it easier to observe the adjustment height more intuitively, which helps to improve the adjustment speed.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes handrails 26, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of both ends of the connecting strip 1.

[0037] Specifically, the design of the handrail 26 facilitates connection or gripping when changing locations, meeting the needs of real-world scenarios.

[0038] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
