Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading arm technology, specifically a loading arm with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Loading arms are categorized into: truck loading arms, train loading arms, aircraft loading arms, and drum loading arms, etc. Railway and highway loading arms are specialized equipment used for loading and unloading fluids from railway tank cars and highway tank trucks. The loading arm mainly consists of fixing, rotating, operating, and balancing mechanisms, as well as oil pipes. The rotating mechanism (rotary joint) is meticulously manufactured from forged steel or aluminum alloy, equipped with double-row ball bearings and special stainless steel sealing rings. It features flexible rotation, reliable sealing performance, and durability.

[0003] Existing patent: CN202121637968.7 A loading arm with a cleaning function, which has a filter screen fixed to the inner wall of the hopper by screws to facilitate the preliminary filtration of liquid. The diversion pipe transfers the liquid in the hopper, and at the same time, the diversion pipe is sealed to the rotating disk in the fixed block, which drives the cleaning plate outside the cleaning column to clean the inner wall of the diversion pipe. The fixed block has a connection hole with an internal thread, which is fitted to the external thread at the upper outer end of the diversion pipe, which makes it convenient and simple for the staff to manually disassemble the diversion pipe.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] 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.

[0044] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a loading arm with a cleaning function, including a loading arm body 1. The loading arm body 1 includes an adjusting pipe 2, a drain pipe 3, a rotating disk 4, a fixing block 5, a guide pipe 6, a base, a support column, a connecting plate, a connecting column, an adjusting frame, a drain pipe, a hopper, etc. The structure of the adjusting pipe 2, drain pipe 3, rotating disk 4, fixing block 5, guide pipe 6, base, support column, connecting plate, connecting column, adjusting frame, drain pipe, hopper, etc. is the prior art in the existing published patent: CN202121637968.7 A loading arm with a cleaning function. The connection relationship and working principle between them will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Among them, the rotating disk 4 is fixedly sleeved on the adjusting tube 2;

[0046] The lower surface of the rotating disk 4 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed block 5;

[0047] The fixed block 5 is hollow inside, and its lower surface is fixedly connected to the guide pipe 6. The guide pipe 6 is connected to the interior of the fixed block 5.

[0048] Among them, two mounting posts 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block 5;

[0049] The fixing block 5 is equipped with an installation mechanism, which includes a positioning hole 7, a connecting groove 8, an installation groove 10, a positioning rod 11, an installation plate 12, an installation spring 13, a positioning block 14, a cleaning rod 15, a limiting groove 16, a cleaning slider 17, and a guide groove 18.

[0050] Furthermore, two mounting grooves 10 are formed on the left side surface of the two mounting posts 9, and the mounting grooves 10 extend out of the right side surface of the two mounting posts 9.

[0051] Two positioning holes 7 are formed on the upper surface of the rotating disk 4;

[0052] The positioning hole 7 extends out of the lower surface of the rotating disk 4;

[0053] Among them, the two mounting posts 9 are slidably connected to the two positioning holes 7.

[0054] Furthermore, the two positioning rods 11 are slidably connected to the rotating disk 4, and the two positioning rods 11 are arranged in a mirror image;

[0055] Among them, the outer surfaces of the two adjacent positioning rods 11 slide through into the two positioning holes 7;

[0056] Two mounting plates 12 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of two positioning rods 11;

[0057] Two mounting springs 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two adjacent mounting plates 12.

[0058] Furthermore, the two adjacent ends of the two mounting springs 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating disk 4;

[0059] The spring 13 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning rod 11;

[0060] The two adjacent ends of the two positioning rods 11 slide into the two mounting slots 10;

[0061] The positioning block 14, which has a cross-shaped cross section, is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating disk 4.

[0062] Furthermore, the connecting groove 8 is formed on the upper surface of the fixing block 5, and the connecting groove 8 communicates with the interior of the fixing block 5;

[0063] The positioning block 14 is slidably connected to the connecting groove 8;

[0064] The cleaning rod 15 is installed inside the guide tube 6;

[0065] The guide groove 18 is formed on the outer surface of the cleaning rod 15;

[0066] Among them, the guide groove 18 is spiral in shape.

[0067] Furthermore, the upper surface of the cleaning rod 15 slides through into the fixing block 5;

[0068] The limiting groove 16 is formed on the upper surface of the cleaning rod 15, and the limiting groove 16 is adapted to the positioning block 14.

[0069] The positioning block 14 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 16;

[0070] Multiple cleaning sliders 17 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning rod 15;

[0071] The outer surface of the cleaning slider 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide tube 6.

[0072] Furthermore, in the initial state, the two adjacent ends of the two positioning rods 11 slide into the two mounting grooves 10, thereby fixing and installing the rotating disk 4. At this time, the lower surface of the positioning block 14 contacts the bottom wall of the limiting groove 16.

[0073] When it is necessary to disassemble the fixing block 5, the two mounting plates 12 need to be pulled out to move away from each other. During this process, the mounting spring 13 is stretched, causing the mounting spring 13 to deform. This also drives the two positioning rods 11 to move away from each other, so that both positioning rods 11 are displaced out of the positioning hole 7 and then out of the mounting groove 10. At this time, the fixing block 5 and the rotating disk 4 can be disassembled and separated, thus completing the disassembly of the guide tube 6. The disassembly is convenient, saves manpower, and is faster and more flexible, thereby increasing the practicality of the loading arm.

[0074] As mentioned above, the spiral-shaped guide groove 18 can easily increase the pressure of the liquid by spiraling it, thereby cleaning the guide tube 6. By rotating the rotating disk 4, the cleaning rod 15 and the cleaning slider 17 will be rotated simultaneously, which will also scrape the inner wall of the guide tube 6, thus making the cleaning effect of the guide tube 6 better, thereby increasing the cleaning effect and quality of the loading arm, and thus increasing the practicality of the loading arm.

[0075] Working principle: When the device is in use, in the initial state, the two adjacent ends of the two positioning rods 11 slide into the two mounting grooves 10, thereby fixing and installing the rotating disk 4. At this time, the lower surface of the positioning block 14 contacts the bottom wall of the limiting groove 16.

[0076] When it is necessary to disassemble the fixing block 5, the two mounting plates 12 need to be pulled out to move them away from each other. During this process, the mounting spring 13 is stretched, causing it to deform and simultaneously moving the two positioning rods 11 away from each other. This causes both positioning rods 11 to move out of the positioning hole 7 and then out of the mounting groove 10. At this point, the fixing block 5 and the rotating disk 4 can be disassembled and separated, thus completing the disassembly of the guide tube 6. The disassembly is convenient, saves manpower, and is faster and more flexible, thereby increasing the practicality of the loading arm.
