DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 7 In an embodiment of the utility model, a hydrogen pipeline hydrogen leakage detection and early warning device includes a detection mechanism 10, the detection mechanism 10 includes two protective shells 11, the bottom ends of the two protective shells 11 are connected by a hinge, a sealing member 111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 11, and a limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the two outer walls of the protective shell 11. A folding airbag 14 is connected to the two outer walls of the protective shell 11, and the bottom end of the folding airbag 14 is slidably connected to the adjacent limiting ring 12, and a paddle 144 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the folding airbag 14, and a steel ring 13 for shielding the paddle 144 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the limiting ring 12, and an arc tube 15 is fixedly connected to the two inner walls of the protective shell 11, and a liquid supply module 16 for supplying liquid to the arc tube 15 is arranged outside the protective shell 11.

[0024] Specifically, by fixing a folding airbag 14 on the inner wall of the limiting ring 12, when there is a leak at the connection between the two gas pipeline bodies 20, hydrogen enters the folding airbag 14 through the connecting pipe 148, and the folding airbag 14 stretches to make the clamping plate 142 slide along the inner wall of the limiting ring 12. During the process, the paddle 144 collides with the steel ring 13 to make a warning sound. The folding airbag 14 can be made of a nylon material with a brighter appearance to assist in quickly determining the leakage position. The plastic soft shell 161 is squeezed at the bottom ends of the two folding airbags 14 on the same side, and soapy water is sprayed from the nozzle 151 to the connection seam of the two gas pipeline bodies 20. The bubble situation at the connection seam of the gas pipeline bodies 20 can roughly determine the leakage position.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the liquid supply module 16 includes two plastic soft shells 161, and the opposite ends of the two plastic soft shells 161 are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent outer wall of one of the protective shells 11, and the outer wall of the plastic soft shell 161 is connected with a replenishing port 162. The opposite ends of the two plastic soft shells 161 are connected with a liquid supply pipe 163, one end of the liquid supply pipe 163 passes through the protective shell 11 and is connected to the adjacent arc tube 15, and a plurality of nozzles 151 are equidistantly provided on the outer wall of the arc tube 15.

[0027] In this embodiment, soapy water is added to the plastic soft shell 161 through the replenishing port 162, so that a portion of soapy water is pre-stored in the arc tube 15. After the bottom ends of the two folding airbags 14 squeeze the plastic soft shell 161, the soapy water enters the liquid supply module 16 from the liquid supply pipe 163 and is sprayed out from the nozzle 151, so that it is convenient to roughly judge the leakage position through the bubbles at the flange connection seam of the two gas pipeline bodies 20. The arc tube 15 sprays soapy water between the two gas pipeline bodies 20 through the nozzle 151. During installation, the top ends of the two protective shells 11 can be tilted 30 degrees to 50 degrees so that multiple nozzles 151 are as high as possible, so that when spraying soapy water, the soapy water flows downward from the flange tops of the two gas pipeline bodies 20 along the flanges to wrap the connection seams.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, connecting seats 112 for matching with bolts are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two protective shells 11, and the two connecting seats 112 are symmetrically distributed.

[0029] In a specific implementation, when the two protection shells 11 are installed, the two connection seats 112 are butted against each other, and are fixed by penetrating the two connection seats 112 , thereby limiting the connection between the two protection shells 11 .

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to guide the extension of the folded airbag 14, the folded airbag 14 cooperates with the steel ring 13 to emit a warning sound, and at the same time, the plastic soft shell 161 is squeezed to make soapy water spray out, so as to facilitate the determination of the leakage position.

[0032] like Figure 5-7As shown, in the present embodiment, a limiting groove 121 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting ring 12, and the top and bottom ends of the folding airbag 14 are respectively fixedly connected with a fixed shell 141 and a card plate 142, and a limiting block 145 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the card plate 142, and the limiting block 145 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjacent limiting groove 121, and a connecting pipe 148 is connected to the outer wall of the fixed shell 141, and the connecting pipe 148 is connected to the adjacent protective shell 11, and a connecting rod 149 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shell 141, and the top end of the connecting rod 149 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent limiting ring 12, and a mounting plate 143 is provided at the bottom end of the folding airbag 14, and a shaft block 146 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 143, and the shaft block 146 passes through the adjacent card plate 142 and is rotatably connected thereto, and a torsion spring 147 is fixedly connected between one end of the shaft block 146 and the card plate 142.

[0033] In a specific implementation, the limiting block 145 is limited by the limiting groove 121, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the clamping plate 142 at the bottom end of the folding airbag 14, guiding the extension of the folding airbag 14, so that the folding airbag 14 can squeeze the plastic soft shell 161, and the fixed shell 141 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 12 by the connecting rod 149, so as to stably limit the top of the folding airbag 14, and air is introduced into the folding airbag 14 from the connecting pipe 148. When the folding airbag 14 is extended, only the bottom end will move. The mounting plate 143 and the mounting plate 142 are rotationally limited by the limiting action of the axis block 146 by the clamping plate 142. When the clamping plate 142 moves, it drives the paddle 144 to paddle the steel ring 13 to produce a warning sound. When the clamping plate 142 needs to be moved to its original position later, the mounting plate 143 can be rotated to prevent the steel ring 13 from blocking the paddle 144, and the mounting plate 143 can be driven to rotate and reset by the torsion spring 147.

[0034] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0035] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
