Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick connection technology for oil drums, and in particular to a self-sealing quick connection component for oil drums. Background Technology
[0002] Oil drums are specialized containers used for storing, transporting, and distributing various liquids, such as oils, chemical solvents, and food liquids. They play a wide and irreplaceable role in industries, agriculture, energy, daily chemicals, and transportation.
[0003] Currently, there are some transport vehicles that can move oil drums, but these rely on external tools for transport. Often, these tools are missing or forgotten, making it impossible to move the oil drums. There are also oil drums with built-in wheels on the market, which make them easier to move. However, the wheels on these oil drums cannot be retracted. They can only be locked with objects such as bricks. But when the bricks are knocked off, the oil drum will still move. Furthermore, relying solely on wheels to support the stability of the oil drum is not very good. In addition, since the oil drum is sealed with only one opening, it is difficult to observe whether there is oil inside and how much oil is left.
[0004] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN203667170U discloses an oil drum. The key technical features include an oil drum body with an annular flange at the lower end, an oil outlet at the upper end of the oil drum body, and at least four retractable pulleys at the lower end of the oil drum body to support it. Each retractable pulley includes a support frame, wheels, and a storage wheel section. The wheels are rotatably mounted on the support frame, and the storage wheel section is fixedly connected to the oil drum body. The support frame has a rotating shaft, and the inner wall of the storage wheel section has a rotating hole that rotatably engages with the rotating shaft. The diameter of the rotating hole is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft. The oil drum body has a display device, and the lower end of the oil drum body has a weighing device. This oil drum with retractable pulleys eliminates the cumbersome steps of loading and unloading the oil drum onto a transport vehicle, facilitating handling. When not being handled, the pulleys retract, improving the stability and safety of the oil drum. Furthermore, this oil drum allows for easy identification of the oil's contents and weight.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions. However, existing self-sealing quick-connect components for oil drums typically only snap into place inside the drum when sealing the inlet. As a result, the drum is prone to detaching during transportation, leading to oil spillage. This not only increases the difficulty of transporting the drums for workers but also causes waste, making it inconvenient for workers to use.
[0006] To address this, a self-sealing quick-connect assembly for oil drums is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-sealing quick-connect assembly for oil drums, which solves the problem that existing self-sealing quick-connect assemblies for oil drums typically only snap onto the inside of the oil drum when sealing the oil inlet.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0028] A self-sealing quick-connect assembly for an oil drum includes an oil drum body 1, an oil inlet pipe 2 connected to the top of the oil drum body 1, an installation component 3 provided on the top of the oil inlet pipe 2, and a sealing component 4 provided on the top of the installation component 3.
[0029] The mounting assembly 3 includes a connecting pipe 301, a sliding ring 302, a pull rod 303, a fixing plate 304, a return spring 305, and a limiting plate 306. The connecting pipe 301 is inserted into the inner side of the oil inlet pipe 2. The sliding ring 302 is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting pipe 301. The pull rods 303 are all slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding rings 302. The fixing plate 304 is bolted to the inner side of the pull rods 303. The return springs 305 are all bolted to the inner side of the fixing plate 304. The limiting plate 306 is bolted to the inner side of the return springs 305.
[0030] In this embodiment: by setting up an oil drum body 1, an oil inlet pipe 2, an installation component 3, and a sealing component 4, the operator can quickly connect and seal the oil inlet when the operator needs to seal it by installing the installation component 3 inside the oil inlet pipe 2 above the oil drum body 1. This prevents the oil drum from falling off during transportation and avoids spillage of the oil inside the drum. This not only facilitates transportation of the oil drum but also avoids waste caused by spillage during transportation, thus benefiting the operator's use. The sealing component 4 effectively seals the oil drum, and after sealing, it facilitates the expulsion of internal air. Therefore, during long-term transportation, the internal gas will not push out the seal of the oil drum, making transportation easier for the operator and meeting the operator's needs.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the sealing assembly 4 includes a rotating cover 401, which is inserted into the inner side of the connecting pipe 301. An exhaust hole 402 is provided on the inner side of the rotating cover 401, and a plug 403 is inserted into the inner side of the exhaust hole 402. A sealing gasket 404 is adhered to the outer side of the rotating cover 401.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a rotating block 5 is bolted to the top of the rotating cover 401, and the surface of the rotating block 5 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a filter screen 6 is bolted to the inside of the vent 402. The filter screen 6 is made of stainless steel.
[0034] In this embodiment: by setting a rotating cover 401, an exhaust port 402, a plug 403, and a sealing gasket 404, the operator can install the rotating cover 401 into the oil inlet, thereby sealing it with the sealing gasket 404. Then, by pulling out the plug 403, the internal air can be discharged through the exhaust port 402. Therefore, the oil drum can be effectively sealed, and after the oil drum is sealed, it is easy to discharge the internal air. Therefore, during long-term transportation, the internal gas will not push out the seal of the oil drum, which facilitates transportation by the operator and meets the operator's needs. By setting a rotating block 5, it is possible to facilitate the operator's installation and removal of the rotating cover 401, while preventing the operator's hand from slipping. By setting a filter screen 6, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the oil drum when the internal air is discharged, thus preventing contamination of the internal oil.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, damping grooves 7 are provided on the outer side of the connecting pipe 301, and damping blocks 8 are bolted to the inner side of the sliding ring 302. The damping blocks 8 are slidably connected to the inner side of the damping grooves 7.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a protective pad 9 is bonded to the inner side of the limiting plate 306, and the surface of the protective pad 9 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0037] In this embodiment: by setting the damping groove 7 and the damping block 8, the sliding ring 302 can be assisted to slide, which is convenient for the operator to make the connection. By setting the protective pad 9, damage to the oil inlet pipe 2 can be avoided when connecting it, and slippage can be prevented during the connection.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a level gauge 10 is provided on the surface of the oil drum body 1, and the level gauge 10 has scale lines on its surface.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a gas detector 11 is bolted to the top of the oil drum body 1, and the bottom of the gas detector 11 extends to the inside of the oil drum.
[0040] In this embodiment: by setting up a level gauge 10, it is possible for staff to observe the oil inside the oil drum body 1; by setting up a gas detector 11, it is possible for staff to observe the gas inside the oil drum body 1, thereby allowing the gas to be discharged.
[0041] Working principle: When the operator seals the oil inlet, they install the connecting pipe 301 inside the inlet, then lock the inlet via the sliding ring 302, the limiting plate 306 on the inner side of the fixing plate 304, and the return spring 305. The pipe can then be easily disassembled by pulling the lever 303. This allows for quick connection and sealing, preventing the pipe from falling off during transport and thus preventing oil spillage. This not only facilitates transport but also prevents oil from leaking out. During transport, oil spillage can occur, leading to waste. To address this, the system is designed for ease of use by operators. The operator installs the rotating cap 401 into the oil inlet, sealing it with the gasket 404. Then, by removing the plug 403, internal air is released through the vent 402. This effectively seals the oil drum and facilitates air release. Therefore, during long-term transport, the internal gas will not force the seal out, making transport easier and meeting the operator's needs.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
