[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 A smart oil tank includes a tank body 1, a base 8 and an oil quantity detection sensor. A large oil port 2, a small oil port 3 and a handle 7 are provided on the top of the tank body 1, and the large oil port 2 and the small oil port 3 are respectively located on both sides of the handle 7.

[0021] Wherein, first embedded buckles 4 are provided on both sides of the fuel tank body 1 , and shoulder straps 12 are connected to the first embedded buckles 4 , and second embedded buckles 5 are provided on the front side of the fuel tank body 1 .
[0022] A telescopic rod fixing plate 9 is provided on the back of the fuel tank body 1 , and the fixing plate 9 fixes the telescopic rod 10 . A handle 11 is provided on the top of the telescopic rod 10 , and a plurality of universal wheels 13 are provided on the bottom of the base 8 .
[0023] The intelligent fuel tank information monitoring and dispatching system is an information system that can facilitate timely and effective grasp of regional oil volume and location, and is an effective logistical guarantee for improving regional combat capabilities. In order to cope with various actual use scenarios such as wartime, exercises, and standby, the system is designed with multiple mode switches to flexibly respond to the needs of different situations. At the same time, considering that the combat environment in wartime and demonstration is mostly unmanned and weak signal areas, the signal is easily interfered and shielded by surrounding obstructions. In order to solve the problems of decentralized fuel tanks, fuzzy fuel information, and inaccurate calculation, a complete set of software and hardware and cloud monitoring systems are designed to maximize the transparency of fuel information and intelligent fuel dispatching. In terms of timely and rapid fuel replenishment, the uncertainty of traditional manual statistics has been greatly improved.
[0024] Among them, the intelligent fuel tank information monitoring and dispatching system is a node module installed inside the fuel tank, which is networked with the base station. The oil level in the equipment tank is collected through the base station. Each base station is connected to the Beidou terminal to realize the information transmission to the server through the Beidou satellite. The base station and multiple device nodes are networked in a star shape, and the multi-base station Beidou command machine regional network data interaction. The base station and command station are mobile and portable, covering a radius of 2-5 kilometers. The team is equipped with a monitoring platform PC, and the cloud can use the platform computer to view information such as location and oil level.
[0025] The intelligent fuel tank information monitoring and dispatching system is an information system that can facilitate timely and effective grasp of regional oil volume and location, and is an effective logistical guarantee for improving regional combat capabilities.
[0026] In order to cope with various practical usage scenarios such as wartime, exercises, and backup, the system is designed with multiple mode switches to flexibly respond to the needs of different situations. At the same time, considering that the combat environment in wartime and demonstration is mostly unmanned and weak signal area, the signal is easily interfered and shielded by surrounding obstructions.
[0027] In order to solve the problems of decentralized fuel tanks, fuzzy fuel quantity information, and inaccurate calculation, a complete set of software and hardware and cloud monitoring systems have been designed to maximize the transparency of fuel quantity information and intelligent fuel quantity scheduling. In terms of timely and rapid fuel supply, the uncertainty of traditional manual statistics has been greatly improved.
[0028] The intelligent fuel tank oil quantity monitoring and dispatching system has the following advantages:
[0029] 1) Regional oil volume intelligent statistics
[0030] 2) The main station monitors each area
[0031] 3) The monitoring and dispatching system can inform the dispatcher in advance based on data analysis, so that each area can be replenished in time and the oil distribution can be more reasonable
[0032] 4) Regional deployment is convenient and mobile, adapting to the dynamic scheduling needs of wartime and exercises
[0033] 5) Based on the deployment of the Internet of Things protocol, large-scale deployment can be achieved, and the data is sent and processed uniformly by the base station and connected to the Beidou data terminal
[0034] 6) Based on Beidou military network positioning communication, it is safe and has a wide regional coverage
[0035] After the deployment of the entire intelligent fuel tank monitoring, management and dispatching system, each base will deploy a large number of empty fuel tanks and store them in the warehouse. The initial state of all fuel tanks is inactive. When a certain amount of fuel is requested from the background, the tanks will be filled one by one. At this moment, the tanks will automatically activate and enter the standby state, and start reporting fuel information once a day. When wartime or exercises need to be allocated, a batch of fuel tanks centered on the base station will be allocated from the monitoring and dispatching background, so that the fuel tanks can enter the wartime or exercise available state. When the fuel tank is used up during wartime or exercises, the intelligent fuel tank automatically detects that the fuel is empty, uploads the fuel information, and automatically enters the empty tank unavailable state. Through the temporary mobile command monitoring computer of the exercise, you can see which fuel tanks are available, which are not available, and how much total fuel is left. Whether the base needs to be refueled, the base can view the fuel usage during the exercise from the monitoring background to decide whether it is necessary to dispatch supplies in time.
[0036] Embodiment: The smart fuel tank is stored empty in peacetime and can be filled in a centralized manner during wartime, reducing storage risks; the transportation and loading are convenient and flexible, and can be transported by trucks, mounted on command vehicles and armored vehicles, and lifted by helicopters and drones; the stacking is convenient, and the effective space utilization rate for storage and transportation is greatly improved; the loading and unloading efficiency is greatly improved; the overall specific gravity is less than 1, and it can float on the water. When empty, it can be used as a life-saving float on the water; it can be used in various harsh conditions, such as forests, mountains, deserts, etc., where traditional fuel trucks cannot reach, and helicopters and drones can be used for straight-line airdrops, with a short distance and fast speed; according to the needs of the combat scenario, it can choose centralized or decentralized transportation to distribute different quantities of fuel.
[0037] Smart fuel tanks of the same specifications can be quickly and freely assembled and stacked in six directions during transportation, thus forming a whole. Assembly and disassembly are quick and convenient, and complex road conditions can be handled during transportation to ensure the safety of each independent smart fuel tank during transportation. The fuel volume and location information of the smart fuel tank can be directly transmitted to the background, so that the relevant combat command personnel can understand the relevant information in a timely manner, which is convenient for unified command and deployment.
