Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a diversion filling device, which belongs to the field of fluid pipeline transportation technology and is applicable to the diversion filling of fluids of various viscosities. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, water security and emergency response capabilities have become indispensable parts of urban management. In scenarios such as natural disaster response and daily construction site water supply, the rapid and efficient provision of water resources is crucial. In temporary situations such as urban renewal and natural disasters, residents need to use fire hydrants for water. However, fire hydrant water access suffers from operational difficulties, low deployment efficiency, and significant water waste. Service standards in many water supply industries explicitly require that after a water outage exceeding a certain time limit (e.g., 24 hours), water supply units should take emergency water supply measures, such as delivering water by truck, to provide temporary water services to residents, ensuring their basic living needs and demonstrating a focus on people's livelihood and a proactive fulfillment of social responsibility. However, in practice, it has been found that residents face problems such as inconvenient water storage tools, limited water storage capacity and number of outlets on water delivery trucks, and the need for water trucks to refill their tanks after use, leading to long waiting times during peak water usage periods. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address this issue, this application proposes a portable, easy-to-install and disassemble, and simple-to-use diversion filling device.

[0004] One aspect of this application is to provide a diversion filling device, the diversion filling device comprising: a support plate on which a diversion tube is detachably fixed; a base on which a fluid inlet interface is detachably fixed; at least three legs, the upper end of each leg supporting the lower end face of the support plate and detachably fixed to the support plate, and the lower end of each leg supporting the base and detachably connected to the base; and The main flow pipe connects the fluid inlet interface to the branch pipe.

[0005] The diversion filling device is simple to install and disassemble, facilitating rapid assembly and disassembly. The support plate, diversion pipe, base, fluid inlet interface, feet, and main pipe of the diversion filling device can be disassembled without specialized tools, allowing ordinary personnel to quickly complete the operation. This also reduces the burden of manual handling and improves portability. All the above components can be quickly packed and transported, enabling rapid on-site deployment and transportation.

[0006] Optionally, each of the legs is a foldable leg and includes at least two leg sections, wherein every two adjacent leg sections are hinged together. Thus, when not in use, the legs can not only be detached from the diversion filling device, but also folded up, thereby reducing the height required for storage or packing and transport.

[0007] Optionally, damping material is provided at the facing ends of every two adjacent leg sections. The use of damping material on the contact surfaces ensures that the facing ends of the leg sections fit tightly together during operation to reduce vibration.

[0008] Optionally, each of the legs includes an upper leg section and a lower leg section, the upper end of the upper leg section forming the upper end of the leg and the lower end of the lower leg section forming the lower end of the leg, wherein the lower end of the upper leg section and the upper end of the lower leg section are hinged together by a hinge.

[0009] Optionally, the hinge is located on one side of the support leg, and a latch is provided on the side of the support leg opposite to the hinge to prevent the support leg from tipping over during the installation of the diversion filling device. Such a latch primarily prevents the various support leg sections from unintentionally folding together before installation is complete, facilitating installation. However, such a latch is not strictly necessary, because once the diversion filling device is installed, especially after the support legs are connected to the support plate and the base, the diversion filling device as a whole achieves a stable structure without the support legs tipping over.

[0010] Optionally, the base includes a central hub and at least three connecting arms extending radially from the central hub, the outer radial end of each connecting arm being detachably connected to the lower end of the support leg. Thus, when not in use, the base can be further disassembled into independent hubs and connecting arms, further improving portability.

[0011] Optionally, the base is a foldable base, wherein the radially inner end of each connecting arm is detachably connected to the central hub via a first pivot pin, allowing the connecting arm to pivot about the first pivot pin in a vertical plane relative to the central hub. Thus, when not in use, the connecting arm can be folded relative to the central hub without being detached, thereby reducing the lateral space occupied during storage or packing and transport.

[0012] Optionally, the radially outer end of each connecting arm is detachably connected to the lower end of the corresponding leg via a second pivot pin, allowing the corresponding leg to pivot relative to the connecting arm in a vertical plane about the second pivot pin. Thus, when not in use, the legs can be folded relative to the base without being removed, thereby reducing the lateral space occupied during storage or packing for transport.

[0013] Optionally, each of the connecting arms is pivotable between a horizontally extending extended position and a vertically extending retracted position. Each connecting arm has a pre-tightened locating pin facing the central hub, and the central hub has an extended position locating groove and a retracted position locating groove for each connecting arm. This allows the locating pin to be pressed into the extended position locating groove when the connecting arm pivots to the extended position, and into the retracted position locating groove when the connecting arm pivots to the retracted position. Thus, when the connecting arm pivots relative to the central hub, once the connecting arm reaches the extended or retracted position, the locating pin automatically and reliably engages in the extended or retracted position locating groove, preventing further pivoting of the connecting arm relative to the central hub. This maintains structural stability during use and during storage or packaging for transport. To rotate out of the central position from the unfolded or retracted position, it is only necessary to overcome the preload force and remove the locating pin from the corresponding unfolded or retracted locating slot of the central hub. This can be done simply by hand without the use of special tools.

[0014] Optionally, the support plate is a foldable support plate and includes at least two support plate sections, with each pair of adjacent support plate sections being hinged together.

[0015] Optionally, casters are detachably mounted on the bottom of the base corresponding to each of the legs. This facilitates the movement of the diversion filling device between different locations, reduces the burden of manual handling, and further improves the portability of the diversion filling device.

[0016] Optionally, the diversion pipe is provided with one or more fluid outlets. This allows for simultaneous filling of one or more liquid storage containers, such as water storage bags, improving filling efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, the main flow pipe and / or the branch pipe are equipped with flow regulating valves. This ensures controllable flow rate during filling and uniform filling speed at each fluid outlet.

[0018] Optionally, the main flow pipe and / or the branch flow pipe are formed of flexible hoses or corrugated pipes. This facilitates the storage of the main flow pipe and / or the branch flow pipe in a disassembled state.

[0019] Optionally, the support plate and / or the base and / or the legs are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is a high-strength, lightweight material that provides strength while maintaining a light weight, making it easy to carry and handle. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The testing laboratory of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown.

[0023] Figure 1A perspective view of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application in its use state is shown. The diversion filling device mainly includes: a support plate 3 on which a diversion pipe 2 is detachably fixed; a base 6 on which a fluid inlet interface 5 is detachably fixed; three legs, the upper end of each leg supporting the lower end face of the support plate 3 and detachably fixed to the support plate 3, and the lower end of each leg supporting the base 6 and detachably connected to the base 6; and a main flow pipe 4 that fluidly connects the fluid inlet interface 5 to the diversion pipe 2.

[0024] Despite Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment provides three legs for the diversion filling device; however, in some embodiments, a greater number of legs may be provided as needed and depending on the size of the diversion filling device. For ease of movement between different locations, casters 8 are detachably mounted on the bottom of the base 6 corresponding to each leg, allowing the casters 8 to be removed from the base 6 when not in use. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the diversion pipe 2 has a total of four fluid outlets, allowing for the simultaneous filling of up to four liquid storage containers, such as water storage bags, thus improving filling efficiency. However, the four fluid outlets shown in the figure are merely exemplary. Depending on the actual situation, in some embodiments, the diversion pipe 2 may be provided with fewer or more fluid outlets. For installing the liquid storage containers, in... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, a U-shaped groove is provided on the support plate 3 corresponding to each fluid outlet. Such a U-shaped groove is particularly suitable for installing water storage bags. However, for different liquid storage containers, other suitable mounting structures may be provided on the support plate 3 in some embodiments, and are not limited to this type. Figure 1The U-shaped channel is shown in the diagram. In some embodiments, to control the flow rate at the fluid outlet, a flow regulating valve can be provided for the main flow pipe 4 and / or the branch pipe 2, thereby ensuring a uniform filling speed at each fluid outlet. In some embodiments, for easy storage when not in use, the main flow pipe 4 and / or the branch pipe 2 can be formed from a flexible hose or corrugated pipe. In some embodiments, the support plate 3 and / or the base 6 and / or the legs can be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is a high-strength, lightweight material that provides strength while maintaining a light weight, making it easy to carry and handle. However, the support plate 3 and / or the base 6 and / or the legs can also be made of other suitable materials, not limited to aluminum alloy. In some embodiments, the fluid inlet interface 5 can be, for example, a fire hydrant interface, which can be fluidly connected to a fire hydrant, allowing water to be drawn from the fire hydrant to fill storage containers such as water bags. This branch filling device is simple to install and disassemble, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly. The support plate 3, diversion pipe 2, base 6, fluid inlet interface 5, support feet, and main flow pipe 4 of the diversion filling device can be disassembled without specialized tools, allowing ordinary personnel to quickly complete the operation. This also reduces the burden of manual handling and improves portability. All the above components can be quickly packed and transported, enabling rapid on-site deployment and transportation.

[0025] To achieve a foldable dispensing filling device, in some embodiments, each of the legs can be a foldable leg and includes at least two leg sections, with each pair of adjacent leg sections hinged together. Thus, after the support plate 3 is removed from the legs, the legs can be folded, thereby significantly reducing the height required for storage or packing and transport. In some embodiments, the facing ends of each pair of adjacent leg sections are provided with shock-absorbing material. The use of shock-absorbing material on the contact surfaces ensures that the facing ends of the leg sections fit tightly together during operation, reducing vibration.

[0026] exist Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, each support leg includes two support segments, namely an upper support segment 1 and a lower support segment 7. The upper end of the upper support segment 1 forms the upper end of the support leg, and the lower end of the lower support segment 7 forms the lower end of the support leg. The lower end of the upper support segment 1 and the upper end of the lower support segment 7 are hinged together. In some embodiments, the hinge is located on one side of the support leg, and a latch is provided on the side of the support leg opposite to the hinge to prevent the support leg from tipping over during the installation of the diversion filling device. Such a latch primarily prevents the various support segments of the support leg from unintentionally folding together before installation is complete, thus facilitating installation. However, such a latch is not strictly necessary because once the diversion filling device is installed, especially after the support legs are connected to the support plate 3 and the base 6, the diversion filling device as a whole can achieve a stable structure without the support legs tipping over.

[0027] Figure 2 A perspective view of the base 6 and legs of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application is shown in an unfolded state. The support plate 3, along with the diversion pipe 2 detachably fixed to the support plate 3, has been removed. Furthermore, the fluid inlet port 5 detachably fixed to the base 6 and the main flow pipe 4 connecting the fluid inlet port 5 to the diversion pipe 2 have also been removed to allow for a clearer view of the structure of the base 6 and the legs.

[0028] from Figure 2 As can be clearly seen, the base 6 includes a central hub 9 and three connecting arms 10 extending radially from the central hub 9, the outer radial end of each connecting arm 10 being detachably connected to the lower end of the support leg. However, it should be noted that the number of connecting arms 10 varies accordingly when the diversion filling device has a different number of support legs. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the three connecting arms 10 are evenly distributed around the central hub 9, that is, spaced 120° apart from each other. This arrangement enables a stable structure for the diversion filling device.

[0029] exist Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the base 6 is a foldable base, wherein the radially inner end of each connecting arm 10 is detachably connected to the central hub 9 via a first pivot pin 11, allowing the connecting arm 10 to pivot about the first pivot pin 11 in a vertical plane relative to the central hub 9. Furthermore, the radially outer end of each connecting arm 10 is detachably connected to the lower end of the corresponding leg via a second pivot pin 12, allowing the corresponding leg to pivot about the second pivot pin 12 in a vertical plane relative to the connecting arm 10. Here, each connecting arm 10 can be in a horizontally extended unfolded position (see...). Figure 2 ) and the vertically extending convergence position (see Figure 4 The connecting arms 10 pivot between the extended and retracted positions. To reliably position the connecting arms 10 in the extended and retracted positions, each connecting arm 10 has a pre-tensioned locating pin 13 toward the central hub 9. That is, the locating pin 13 is movable within the connecting arm 10 toward or away from the central hub 9. This can be achieved, for example, by supporting the locating pin 13 in a slot within the connecting arm 10. The locating pin 13 can be pre-tensioned toward the central hub 9, for example, by a spring element (not shown) fixed at one end in the slot and acting on the locating pin 13 at the other end. The central hub 9 has an extended position positioning groove 14 (located on the radially outward end side of the hub 9) and a retracted position positioning groove 15 (located on the upper end side of the hub 9) for each connecting arm 10, such that when the connecting arm 10 pivots to the extended position, the positioning pin 13 can be pressed into the extended position positioning groove 14, and when the connecting arm 10 pivots to the retracted position, the positioning pin 13 can be pressed into the retracted position positioning groove 15. Thus, when the connecting arm 10 pivots relative to the central hub 9, once the connecting arm 10 reaches the extended or retracted position, the positioning pin 13 automatically and reliably engages in the extended position positioning groove 14 or the retracted position positioning groove 15, preventing the connecting arm 10 from continuing to pivot relative to the central hub 9, thereby maintaining structural stability during use and during storage or packaging for transport. To rotate out of the central position from the extended or retracted position, it is only necessary to overcome the preload force and remove the positioning pin 13 from the corresponding extended position positioning groove 14 or retracted position positioning groove 15 of the central hub 9. This can be easily done manually without the use of special tools. Figure 2 In the state shown, the positioning pins 13 of the three connecting arms 10 have engaged with the unfolded position positioning groove 14 of the central hub 9, thereby reliably positioning and holding the three connecting arms 10 in the unfolded position.

[0030] Figure 3 A perspective view of the base 6 and legs of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application is shown in a partially folded state. Figure 3 As can be clearly seen, the connecting arm 10 is located in an intermediate position between the extended position and the retracted position. In this intermediate position, the positioning pins 13 of the three connecting arms 10 are neither engaged in the positioning groove 14 of the extended position nor in the positioning groove 15 of the retracted position, thereby allowing the connecting arm 10 to pivot freely relative to the central hub 9. In this intermediate position, the upper support leg section 1 and the lower support leg section 7 of the support leg are also in a partially folded state.

[0031] Figure 4 A perspective view of the base 6 and legs of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application is shown in a fully folded state. Figure 4 As can be seen, the three connecting arms 10 have been pivoted to a vertically upward folded position. In this folded position, the positioning pin 13 engages with the folded position positioning groove 15 of the central hub 9, thereby reliably holding the connecting arms 10 in this folded position. In this folded position, the upper support leg section 1 and the lower support leg section 7 are also in a fully folded state. In this fully folded state, the base 6 and the support legs are aligned towards the center, thereby significantly reducing not only the vertical space occupied during storage or packaging for transportation, but also the horizontal space occupied.

[0032] Figure 5 A perspective view of the support plate 3 of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application in its unfolded state is shown. Figure 6 A perspective view of the support plate 3 of a diversion filling device according to one embodiment of this application in a folded state is shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the support plate 3 is a foldable support plate and comprises two support plate sections connected by a hinge. This significantly reduces its space-consuming dimensions when not in use, or during storage or packing for transport. However, in some embodiments, particularly when the support plate 3 is large, it may be formed from more support plate sections, with each pair of adjacent support plate sections connected by a hinge.

[0033] The above descriptions are merely exemplary embodiments of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of this application are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of this application should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
