[0022] As Figure 1 The embodiment provides a hydrogen leakage detector, which comprises a box body 1; a plurality of partitions 2 are arranged in the box body 1, the plurality of partitions 2 divide an inner cavity of the box body 1 into a plurality of cavities 3, a cylinder 6 is arranged in each cavity 3, a hydrogen detection adhesive tape is sleeved on the cylinder 6, an air inlet hole 4 is formed in a bottom wall of each cavity 3, a first electromagnetic valve is arranged at the air inlet hole 4, an air outlet hole 5 is formed in a top wall of each cavity 3, and a second electromagnetic valve is arranged at the air outlet hole 5. By arranging the hydrogen detection adhesive tape in the cavities 3 of the box body 1, hydrogen can continuously enter the cavities 3 through the air inlet holes 4 on the cavities 3 and react with the hydrogen detection adhesive tape, and the amount of hydrogen entering can be displayed through the color change of the hydrogen detection adhesive tape, so that even when the amount of hydrogen leakage is small, the hydrogen leakage can be found, and the problem that the current hydrogen detector cannot detect low-concentration hydrogen leakage, leading to untimely maintenance and safety hazards is solved. In addition, a plurality of independent cavities 3 are arranged in the box body 1, the air inlet holes 4 of the corresponding cavities 3 can be opened according to different time periods through electromagnetic valves, hydrogen leakage can be detected in time periods, and the time of hydrogen leakage can be conveniently investigated, so that the position of hydrogen leakage can be conveniently investigated.
[0023] The number of cavities 3 can be set according to actual use requirements, for example: four, six, eight or twelve, etc. In the embodiment, the number of cavities 3 is six, and each four hours is a time period, one day is divided into six time periods, six time periods correspond to six cavities 3, according to different time periods, the opening and closing of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve in different cavities 3, for example, 0-4 o'clock, control the opening of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve in the first cavity 3, and the closing of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve in the remaining cavities 3, the gas enters from the gas inlet hole 4 in the first cavity 3, and the gas outlet hole 5 discharges, the second time period is 4-8 o'clock, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve in the second cavity 3 are opened, and the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve in the remaining cavities 3 are closed, and the subsequent is the same, until the time detection of one day is completed. The hydrogen detection tape in different cavities 3 shows the hydrogen leakage in different time periods. For example: a factory building has many devices, and multiple devices are divided into multiple groups for alternate operation, and part of the cavities 3 detect hydrogen, while the other cavities 3 do not detect hydrogen, then the time period of the cavity 3 detecting hydrogen can be used to judge that the device running in the time period has a leakage. Therefore, when there is only one hydrogen leakage detector in a factory building, the time period of the cavity 3 detecting hydrogen can be used to judge which running time period and which running device has a hydrogen leakage, which greatly saves the equipment investment cost.
[0024] Preferably, the hydrogen detection tape is a ring-shaped hydrogen detection tape, that is, a cylindrical shape, which can better cover the cylinder 6, increase the contact area of the hydrogen detection tape 7 with hydrogen, and better detect weak hydrogen leakage.
[0025] Preferably, the box 1 is made of transparent material, which is convenient for observing the color change of the hydrogen detection tape 7 at any time.
[0026] Preferably, the detector can be placed at any position in the factory building when in use, and is preferably placed on the top of the factory building, because hydrogen is lighter in mass and moves upward, and is placed in a high place to better detect hydrogen.
[0027] In the embodiment, the cylinder 6 movably penetrates the bottom wall of the cavity 3, the ring-shaped plate 8 is fixed on the cylinder 6, the bottom wall of the ring-shaped plate 8 is in contact with the bottom wall of the cavity 3, the top wall of the cavity 3 is provided with a through hole 9, and the top end of the cylinder 6 and the hydrogen detection tape 7 can penetrate through the through hole 9 when moving upward. After the detector completes one working detection, the hydrogen detection tape 7 needs to be replaced, and the through hole 9 can facilitate the replacement of the hydrogen detection tape 7.
[0028] The outer top wall of the cavity 3 is provided with two closure units, which are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the through hole 9. When the hydrogen detection tape 7 needs to be replaced, the closure units can close the through hole 9, thereby avoiding the pollution of impurities in the air to the cavity 3.
[0029] The inner and outer directions of the components in the closure unit are taken as the inside between the two closure units.
[0030] Preferably, each closure unit includes a closure plate 10, a spring 11, and a fixed plate 12 connected to the outer top wall of the box 1. The two ends of the spring 11 are connected to the closure plate 10 and the fixed plate 12, respectively. The bottom wall of the closure plate 10 is provided with a groove 13, the top wall of which is inclined downward as a whole from the inside to the outside. The top wall of the groove 13 is provided with a through hole 15, the inner side wall of which is in the same plane as the inner side wall of the groove 13. The inner side walls of the closure plates 10 of the two closure units are in contact, thereby closing the through hole 9. The annular plate 8 is connected to two drive columns 14, which pass through the top wall of the cavity 3 and enter the two grooves 13, respectively. The top end of the drive column 14 is in contact with the top wall of the groove 13. When the drive column 14 moves upward, it can drive the closure plate 10 to move outward, and the drive column 14 can pass through the through hole 15.
[0031] In order to better control the volume of the entire detection instrument, the space of the cavity 3 cannot be too large, otherwise it is not convenient to carry and place the equipment. Since the space in the cavity 3 is small, it is troublesome and inconvenient to operate to replace the annular hydrogen detection tape 77 by inserting the hand through the through hole 9 into the cavity 3. In this embodiment, the cooperation of the cylinder 6, the annular plate 8, the through hole 9, and the closure unit is used. In the initial state, the bottom end of the cylinder 6 is located below the box 1, the bottom wall of the annular plate 8 is in contact with the bottom wall of the cavity 3, and the hydrogen detection tape 7 is located in the cavity 3. When replacing the annular hydrogen detection tape 77, the cylinder 6 is pushed upward, the cylinder 6 moves upward to drive the annular plate 8 to move upward, the annular plate 8 moves upward to drive the drive column 14 to move upward, the drive column 14 moves upward to abut against the top wall of the groove 13, the closure plate 10 is driven to move outward, until the two closure plates 10 completely open the through hole 9, and then the drive column 14 continues to move upward to pass through the through hole 15. At this time, the drive column 14 limits the closure plate 10, the cylinder 6 continues to move upward, the hydrogen detection tape 7 and the top end of the cylinder 6 pass through the through hole 9, and then the hydrogen detection tape 7 is replaced from above the box 1. The entire process only needs to push the cylinder 6 upward, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0032] In this embodiment, it also includes a base 16, a connecting column 17, and a sliding plate 18. The two ends of the connecting column 17 are connected to the outer wall of the box 1 and the base 16, respectively. The sliding plate 18 is slidingly connected to the connecting column 17. The base 16 can be used to better support the box 1.
[0033] In the embodiment, a sliding groove is formed on the connecting column 17, a sliding block is slidably connected in the sliding groove, the sliding plate 18 is connected with the sliding block, the bottom wall of the cylinder 6 is connected with a bottom column, and the bottom end of the bottom column is in contact with the top wall of the sliding plate 18. In the initial state, the sliding block is located at the bottom of the sliding groove. When it is necessary to replace the annular hydrogen detection tape 77, the sliding plate 18 only needs to be pushed upward, so that all the cylinders 6 are driven to move upward, and the replacement of all the annular hydrogen detection tapes 77 is completed at one time, thereby further simplifying the operation procedure and improving the operation efficiency.
[0034] In the embodiment, a blind hole is formed on the top wall of the cylinder 6, and the illumination lamp 19 is arranged in the blind hole. The top end of the illumination lamp 19 is located above the hydrogen detection tape 7. A plurality of lamp holders are arranged on the sliding plate 18, the lamp holders correspond to the illumination lamps 19 one by one, and the illumination lamp 19 is fixed on the lamp holder. Preferably, the cylinder 6 is made of transparent material. At night, the illumination lamp 19 is turned on, and the color change of the hydrogen detection tape 7 in the cavity 3 can be better observed.
[0035] The illumination lamp 19 is arranged in the blind hole. In this way, the illumination lamp 19 is placed in the cavity 3 without increasing the volume occupied by the cavity 3, so that the volume of the cavity 3 can be further reduced, and the volume of the entire detection instrument can be further reduced. In the embodiment, preferably, the sliding plate 18 and the sliding block are detachably connected. When the illumination lamp 19 is damaged, the sliding plate 18 and the sliding block can be separated, then the sliding plate 18 is moved to make the illumination lamp 19 separate from the blind hole, and the maintenance and replacement of the illumination lamp 19 are realized.
[0036] In the embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer and the battery are further included. The single-chip microcomputer is connected with the first electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve and the illumination lamp 19, and can control the timing opening and closing of the first electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve and the illumination lamp 19. The battery is arranged on the sliding plate 18 and can supply power to the first electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve, the illumination lamp 19 and the single-chip microcomputer. Preferably, the illumination lamp 19 is not automatically turned off after being turned on. In this way, the color change of the hydrogen detection tape 7 can be well observed in any environment.
[0037] In summary, the hydrogen leakage detection instrument of the embodiment can detect the leakage of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas detection tape is arranged in the cavity of the box body. The hydrogen gas can continuously enter the cavity through the gas inlet hole on the cavity and react with the hydrogen gas detection tape. The amount of hydrogen gas entering the cavity can be displayed through the color change of the hydrogen gas detection tape. Therefore, even if the amount of hydrogen gas leakage is small, the device can also detect the leakage of hydrogen gas. The problem that the current hydrogen detector cannot detect low-concentration hydrogen leakage, resulting in delayed maintenance and safety hazards is solved. In addition, a plurality of independent cavities are arranged in the box body. The gas inlet holes of the cavities can be opened according to different time periods through the electromagnetic valves. The hydrogen leakage can be detected in different time periods, the time of hydrogen leakage can be conveniently investigated, and the position of hydrogen leakage can be conveniently investigated.
