Description

1 TARIFF DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATION PROBES AND MEASUREMENT CAPS TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates to automation probes in the risers of tanks where manual measurement is performed. At the inlet of the measuring pipes, there are 2”, 3” and 4” measuring and filling ports depending on the pipe diameter. the sleeves located at their mouths, on the tank cap, and likely to be used Development of automation probes and measuring caps for use in inlets. It is of interest. 10 The invention is used in gas stations for determining the fuel level in tanks. Automation probe rizers offer both ease of cable routing and sealing. automation probes and measuring caps that provide ease of assembly and use. It is related to development. 15 STATE OF THE ART The fill level and temperature of underground fuel tanks at gas stations, Automation probe systems for monitoring the amount of water accumulating at the bottom of tanks. is used. In these systems, probe devices are usually located at the top of the tank. 20 The area and probe are mounted to the tank via connecting elements called risers. This is done. On the probe receivers, the external environment during the mounting and operation of the probe. to ensure protection from the conditions, to arrange cable routes and the tank Various lid structures are used to ensure leak-proofness. These caps are called automation probe caps or measurement caps. 25 Automation probe caps are used to ensure a leak-proof seal at the top of the tank. They are mostly equipped with elastomeric seals (e.g., O-rings). Cables Special passage openings on the cover for safe and orderly passage and Cable entry bushings are included. Thanks to this structure, both assembly and maintenance operations are 30 minutes. This facilitates the process, as well as preventing cable deformation and damage. This is prevented. Kepler uses aluminum alloy, stainless steel or high-strength materials. 2 They can be manufactured from plastic materials. Their diameters depend on the application. They are generally produced in standard sizes such as 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. These caps are particularly resistant to external environmental influences (rain, dust, chemical vapors) They are designed to be resistant to (etc.) and have protection ratings such as IP65, IP67. They may possess the characteristics to meet their classifications. Such systems are important in terms of both operational safety and environmental protection. It is of great importance and is an integral part of tank automation systems. It consists of 10. Current probe caps do not have a two-piece locking system. They have a single-piece structure. Therefore, when this one-piece cap is removed, the sealant, the gasket... Or Teflon tape was needed to ensure a watertight seal. But the workmanship... during this time, in an environment where fuel vapors accumulate, in order to open and close the cap 15 Since work is being carried out, continuous leak-proofness must be ensured. Also, opening the cap... The closure is open to worker intervention, and if the intervention is not done correctly, Fuel vapors can enter the environment. Also, the caps in existing systems... When rotated, the probe cable is turned too much, affecting communication and data transfer. If there are problems with tank filling detection, that would also pose a separate problem. 20 In conclusion, due to the drawbacks described above and the current usage Due to its shortcomings, it has become necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. Therefore, an invention is needed to overcome these problems. DEFINITION OF INVENTION The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical to bring new advantages to the area, the fuel tank at gas stations Automation probe risers used for level detection are suitable for both cable routing. 30 that provides ease of assembly and use, as well as a leak-proof seal. It is related to the development of automation probes and measuring caps. 3 The main purpose of the invention is to ensure a leak-proof seal and prevent the probe cable from breaking. to prevent and facilitate possible interventions such as maintenance, troubleshooting, assembly, and inspection. to provide. Thanks to the locking system and two-part structure in the invention, unauthorized 5 Interventions are easy to detect. The lower part is directly connected to the probe protector. It does not pose an obstacle to leakage during interventions. Only the upper part. It is rotated, and because it is rotated very little, cable breakage is prevented. Top Thanks to the sealing pins located in the body and lower body, unauthorized access is prevented. Interventions are easy to detect. 10 During initial assembly, the lower body is tightened with a Rizer A sealing gasket. On the upper part... The automation probe cable is passed through the cable gland located there. The cable After being passed through, the lid is closed and the process is complete. On the lid There are sealing points to detect unauthorized interference. 15 Existing rizer covers can be sealed with gaskets or Teflon tape after intervention. Because it is not used, fuel is not used in either tank tests or normal operations. It causes steam to escape. This product, except for the part that is mounted on the pipe... Use extra gaskets or Teflon tape during disassembly and assembly in the operation. It is designed so that its use will not be necessary. 20 The invention focuses on further development of automation probes and measuring caps. They can be produced in small sizes, in various dimensions, and in different sizes.
