Among them, the monitoring tube body 1, the transmission component 2 and the monitoring alarm 3 are connected in sequence; the monitoring tube body 1 comprises a water and oil monitoring unit, the water and oil monitoring unit comprises a water measuring assembly 11 and an oil measuring assembly 12; the transmission component 2 is provided in the water measuring assembly 11 and the oil measuring assembly 12, and the transmission component 2 sends an alarm signal to the monitoring alarm 3 when there is leakage of oil and water in the water measuring assembly 11 and / or the oil measuring assembly 12.
[0033] The present application adopts the monitoring tube body 1 to realize the leakage monitoring of the tank bottom plate, and adopts the transmission component 2 and the monitoring alarm 3 to realize the transmission and alarm of the tank bottom plate leakage signal, which avoids the problems of large maintenance workload by using vacuum maintenance method and short service life by using electronic sensor, and has the advantages of convenient operation and long service life. At the same time, the water and oil monitoring unit of the monitoring tube body 1 comprises the water measuring assembly 11 and the oil measuring assembly 12, the transmission component 2 is provided in the water measuring assembly 11 and the oil measuring assembly 12, and the transmission component 2 sends an alarm signal to the monitoring alarm 3 when there is leakage of oil and water in the water measuring assembly 11 and / or the oil measuring assembly 12, that is, the present application can simultaneously realize the leakage monitoring of oil and water of the tank bottom plate, and can effectively judge the leakage position of the tank bottom plate, that is, if it is the upper bottom plate leakage, water and oil can be monitored at the same time, and if it is the lower bottom plate leakage, only water can be monitored.
[0034] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the water and oil monitoring unit further comprises a transmission insulation sleeve 13, and the transmission component 2 is provided in the water measuring assembly 11 and the oil measuring assembly 12 through the transmission insulation sleeve 13.
[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 7 The transmission component 2 includes a live wire 21, an oil sensing sensor wire 22 and a water sensing sensor wire 23; the transmission insulation sleeve 13 is provided with a conductive liquid passing hole 132, a water passing hole 133, a first wire passing hole 134, a second wire passing hole 135 and a third wire passing hole 136. The conductive liquid passing hole 132 is located at the position of the oil sensing assembly 12, the water passing hole 133 is located at the position of the water sensing assembly 11, the first wire passing hole 134 is for the live wire 21 to pass through, the second wire passing hole 135 is for the oil sensing sensor wire 22 to pass through, the third wire passing hole 136 is for the water sensing sensor wire 23 to pass through, the conductive liquid passing hole 132, the first wire passing hole 134 and the second wire passing hole 135 are communicated, and the water passing hole 133, the first wire passing hole 134 and the third wire passing hole 136 are communicated. This can effectively transmit the oil and water leakage signal to the transmission component 2 when there is oil and water leakage at the positions of the water sensing assembly 11 and the oil sensing assembly 12, so as to send an alarm signal to the monitoring alarm 3, and the transmission form of the present application is compact in structure and small in space occupation.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 The oil sensing assembly 12 includes an oil sensing shell 121 with an oil swelling cavity 122, and the oil swelling cavity 122 is provided with conductive liquid. The outer side wall of the transmission insulation sleeve 13 is provided with a cutting piece 131, and a safety gap 14 is left between the cutting piece 131 and the oil swelling cavity 122. As shown in Figure 8 The monitoring pipe body 1 further includes a sleeve pipe 15 wrapped outside the water and oil monitoring unit, so that the oil swelling cavity 122 can only swell inward when it meets oil; the sleeve pipe 15 is provided with an oil and water leakage liquid inlet hole 151 arranged in an array, which can effectively make the oil and water leakage enter the positions of the water sensing assembly 11 and the oil sensing assembly 12, and ensure the smooth progress of the oil and water leakage monitoring.
[0037] When oil leaks, the leaked oil enters the oil and water leakage liquid inlet hole 151 and contacts the oil sensing shell 121, the oil sensing shell 121 absorbs the oil and swells inward, the cutting piece 131 pierces the oil swelling cavity 122 when the oil swelling cavity 122 swells inward, the conductive liquid flows out and passes through the conductive liquid passing hole 132, the first wire passing hole 134 and the second wire passing hole 135, at this time, the live wire 21 and the oil sensing sensor wire 22 are connected and conductive, forming a conductive loop and transmitting to the monitoring alarm 3, so as to complete the monitoring of oil leakage.

This further improves the effect of the oil leakage monitoring shell 121 expanding inward, ensuring the accuracy of oil leakage monitoring.
[0040] In the embodiment, the oil leakage monitoring shell 121 and the expansion block 123 are composed of ethylene, ethylene propylene rubber and crosslinking agent. The oil leakage monitoring shell 121 and the expansion block 123 will expand to 200% in volume when encountering oil, and have good expansion effect and long service life. In the embodiment, the wall thickness of the oil leakage monitoring shell 121 is 1.5 mm, so as to facilitate the cutting sheet 131 to cut through. In other embodiments, the wall thickness of the oil leakage monitoring shell 121 can be 1-2 mm, as long as it can ensure that the cutting sheet 131 effectively cuts through the oil leakage monitoring shell 121.

At this time, the leaked water in the water passing hole 133 connects and conducts the live wire 21 located in the first wire passing hole 134 and the water leakage monitoring sensor wire 23 located in the third wire passing hole 136, forms a conductive loop, and is transmitted to the monitoring alarm 3, thereby completing the monitoring of water leakage. In the embodiment, the water leakage monitoring shell 111 is made of polyethylene material and has long service life.

The number of the water passing hole 133 is the same as that of the water leakage monitoring through hole 112, and the water passing hole 133 and the water leakage monitoring through hole 112 are communicated one by one to ensure the monitoring effect of water leakage. In other embodiments, the number of the water leakage monitoring through hole 112 can be selected according to actual conditions, such as three, four, etc.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the water and oil monitoring unit of the embodiment is seven groups, and the seven groups of water and oil monitoring units are arranged in front and back abutment. The outer sleeve 15 is wrapped outside each group of water and oil monitoring units.

The oil storage tank of the present invention also has the advantages of the above-mentioned leakage monitoring device, and the rope-type setting of the monitoring tube 1 is small in size, which can realize leakage monitoring between the tiny sandwich layers of the tank bottom plate.
[0045] like Figure 10 As shown, the monitoring tube 1 is an arc-shaped tube that fits against the side wall 5 of the tank. A guide channel 61 is provided on the lower bottom plate 62 of the sandwich bottom plate 6. The guide channel 61 has a slope in the direction of guiding the side wall 5 of the tank. When oil and water leak, the leaked oil and water flow in the guide channel 61 to the leak monitoring device, thereby realizing the effective monitoring of the leaked oil and water.
