Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas alarm device, in particular to a gas pipeline switch forgetting alarm and working method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas brings convenience to residents' life, but there are also hidden dangers in use. The safety precautions for home often involve matters related to gas safety: first, correctly use and regularly check gas facilities and appliances; second, do not seal the windows, and once gas leakage occurs, it will often cause serious consequences, leave home and before going to sleep at night, make sure the gas valve is in the closed position, and if gas leakage occurs, do not panic, turn off the valve and open the door and window, and do not touch the electrical switch and use open fire at this time; third, when using liquefied petroleum gas, coal gas, natural gas, etc. to boil water and cook, someone should be on guard, not far away from the kitchen, and when going out, cut off all fire sources, and the gas valve, joint and pipeline connection should be firm, and loose and aged parts should be repaired and replaced in time, and open fire should not be used to check for leaks, and soap solution can be used to check for leaks. The above records are all safety reminders for gas users to reduce safety hazards.

[0003] Natural gas users have a handle valve at the gas pipeline inlet, which is a front meter valve, and another valve connected to the hose, which is a front stove valve. The front stove valve must be closed before going to sleep, and it cannot be considered safe just by closing the gas stove switch. When people are away for a long time, the front stove valve must be closed, and for safety, the front meter valve should be closed. Gas safety accidents often occur, and the reasons for gas leakage accidents are summarized as follows:

[0004] 1. Gas leakage caused by problems with the hose connected to the front stove valve: gas hose is a special oil-resistant hose used to connect gas pipeline and gas appliance. According to the statistical analysis of gas accidents in recent years, more than 30% of all gas accidents are caused by aging or rat bites of gas hose.

[0005] (1) Long-term use of gas stove causes the two ends of the connected hose to loosen, causing gas leakage.

[0006] (2) Cracks in the hose caused by aging of the hose beyond the safe use period.

[0007] (3) Rats gnawing through natural gas hoses can cause natural gas leaks. Rats are rodents that have a pair of chisel-shaped teeth without roots. The teeth grow continuously, so they need to gnaw on hard objects frequently.

[0008] 2. Gas leakage caused by forgetting to turn off the stove or not closing the stove valve tightly after turning off the stove.

[0009] 3. The use of gas stove suddenly occurs during the process of gas supply interruption, and the stove valve is not closed in time, causing the leakage of pipeline gas when the gas supply is restored.

[0010] 4. Ignition failure, causing unburned gas to leak directly.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to install a gas alarm device in a kitchen using gas. The traditional gas alarm device generally detects the presence of flammable gas after gas leakage using related gas sensors and then issues a sound alarm. At this time, it is quite dangerous for gas users, and if they touch the electrical switch or use an open flame, a gas explosion accident will occur. Therefore, human intervention before gas leakage occurs is the best way to avoid gas leakage accidents. Therefore, it is urgent to design a gas pipeline switch forgetting alarm and working method that can issue a sound alarm in time to prompt the user to close the stove valve when the user has finished using gas and has not closed the valve, thereby eliminating the occurrence of gas accidents from the root cause and solving the problem of near danger that can be monitored by the existing gas alarm after gas leakage.

[0049] The base 1.2 is provided with the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9 below the other side of the circuit board 1.12, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9 adopts a 1 / 4 circular arc, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is slidably connected in the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9, the tilt switch 1.8 is installed on the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10, and the metal pin of the tilt switch 1.8 is connected with the circuit board 1.12.

[0050] The upper cover 1.1 is provided with the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slot 1.11, a pyroelectric sensor through hole and two buzzer through holes, the digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 passes out of the pyroelectric sensor through hole, the head of the digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 is provided with the Fresnel lens, the two piezoelectric buzzers 1.15 pass out of the buzzer through holes to emit alarm sound, and the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is driven in the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slot 1.11 to slide in the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9, so that the alarm 1 is adjusted and installed on the horizontal pipe stove front valve 2 or the vertical pipe stove front valve 2 when the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is located at both ends of the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9.

[0051] The working principle of the alarm 1 is as follows:

[0052] I. Using the tilt switch 1.8, combined with the characteristics of the stove valve 2 rotation, the alarm 1 is fixed on the stove valve 2, when the valve is opened, the tilt switch 1.8 is turned on to make the alarm 1 circuit power on, when the valve is closed, the alarm 1 circuit is powered off, realizing the synchronization of the switch valve and the switch circuit, and the shortest working time of the alarm, saving the battery power.

[0053] The gas pipeline 4 includes horizontal pipe and vertical pipe, the horizontal pipe type gas pipeline 4 is installed with horizontal pipe stove valve 2, the horizontal pipe stove valve 2 is installed obliquely or vertically with the horizontal plane, the vertical pipe type gas pipeline 4 is installed with vertical pipe stove valve 2. When the alarm 1 is installed on the vertical pipe stove valve 2, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is pushed to the lowermost end of the 1 / 4 arc right horizontal placement. When the alarm 1 is installed on the horizontal pipe stove valve 2, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is pushed to the uppermost end of the 1 / 4 arc right horizontal placement.

[0054] When the stove valve 2 is rotated to be parallel to the gas pipeline 4, it is in the open state, and when it is rotated to be perpendicular to the gas pipeline 4, it is in the closed state. When the alarm 1 is installed on the vertical gas pipeline 4 stove valve 2, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is pushed to slide the tilt switch 1.8 on the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9 to the vertical pipe installation position, when the stove valve 2 is closed, the tilt switch 1.9 is about 45 degrees downward to the horizontal line, the alarm 1 is powered off and does not work, when the stove valve 2 is opened, the tilt switch 1.8 is about 45 degrees upward to the horizontal line, the alarm 1 is powered on and starts to work. When the alarm 1 is installed on the horizontal gas pipeline 4 stove valve 2, the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment slider 1.10 is pushed to slide the tilt switch 1.8 on the horizontal and vertical pipe installation adjustment track 1.9 to the horizontal pipe installation position, by the same reason, when the stove valve 2 is closed, the tilt switch 1.8 is about 45 degrees downward to the horizontal line, the alarm 1 is powered off and does not work, when the stove valve 2 is opened, the tilt switch 1.8 is about 45 degrees upward to the horizontal line, the alarm 1 is powered on and starts to work. In addition, if the horizontal pipe installation stove switch rotation surface is parallel to the ground, professional personnel is needed to adjust the angle of the stove valve 2 switch rotation surface, so that it is inclined or perpendicular to the ground, so that the tilt switch 1.8 can work normally.

[0055] II. The model of the human body infrared sensing low-power digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 adopts RDB226-S or RDA226S-F, which detects whether there is personnel in the kitchen, and does not alarm in the case of opening the stove valve 2 and there being personnel in the kitchen, in the case of no personnel in the kitchen and opening the stove valve 2, such as Figure 10As shown, the delay time of the REL pin output high level exceeding the setting of the digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13, the REL pin is converted from high level to low level, the PMOS tube Q1 is turned on, and the piezoelectric buzzer alarm circuit is powered by VBB, which will emit an alarm sound signal. The delay time of the REL pin output high level is set by the resistance value of R3, which is about 15 minutes when R3 is 750K. The digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 produced by Weisheng Technology has a thermal engine function. After the RDB226-S is powered on, the REL pin outputs high level for 10 seconds and low level for 2 seconds, and then normal detection is performed. After the RDA226S-F is powered on, the REL pin outputs high level for 2 seconds and low level for 2 seconds, and then normal detection is performed. Therefore, the alarm device using RDA226S-F also has a thermal engine self-checking function. After the stove front switch is turned on, a 2-second self-checking sound will be emitted. As long as the activity of the personnel in the kitchen can be sensed, the sound will not be emitted. In the case of forgetting to turn off the stove front valve, after the personnel in the kitchen leave for more than 15 minutes, the alarm 1 will continuously emit an alarm sound. In addition, a sliding switch can be designed on the shell of the alarm 1. By setting different resistance values of R3 through the switch, different delay times for alarm can be adjusted to achieve the effect of considering different gas use habits of different users.

[0056] III. A low-power sound alarm circuit is designed using a piezoelectric buzzer 1.15. A low-power dual operational amplifier such as LM358 is used to design an oscillation signal generation circuit to drive the piezoelectric buzzer 1.15 to emit sound. The dual operational amplifier is of rail-to-rail type, which improves the output signal voltage to increase the sound level of the alarm sound. In combination with the frequency of the buzzer cavity of the piezoelectric buzzer 1.15 produced by the piezoelectric buzzer sheet, the frequency of the alarm circuit sound is designed to achieve the effect of resonance of the buzzer sheet frequency and the buzzer cavity frequency, achieving the maximum alarm sound level.

[0057] Both operational amplifiers of LM358 work as comparators. The first comparator U2-A is designed as a positive feedback RC charging and discharging oscillation circuit to generate a 1KHz or so oscillation signal close to a square wave. The other operational amplifier U2-B in this circuit can be used as a follower. The rail-to-rail operational amplifier can output a voltage close to the power supply voltage, which is used as an output driver to drive the piezoelectric buzzer 1.15 to emit sound for a long time, which can achieve the maximum output level of the alarm. The power consumption of a single piezoelectric buzzer under 3V voltage is very small, about 20uA. This design connects multiple piezoelectric buzzers in parallel to achieve the effect of doubling the alarm sound level.

[0058] In addition, as Figure 11As shown, U2-B can also be designed as an oscillation circuit of about 1Hz. The low-frequency oscillation signal output by U2-B controls the oscillation capacitor C1 to oscillate periodically at a frequency of 1Hz through diode D1. The alarm sound is improved from a continuous beep to an intermittent beeping pattern with intervals of about 0.5s (half a cycle of the 1Hz signal), thereby improving the recognizability of the alarm sound.

[0059] Furthermore, the program logic of the digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 can be customized to make its REL pin output mode conform to the application design of the alarm. After the delay time of the high level of the REL pin, a 1KHz signal with a 0.5s interval is directly output to directly drive the piezoelectric buzzer 1.15 to sound, achieving the most concise and stable circuit design while achieving the lowest product hardware cost.

[0060] The formula for calculating the oscillation frequency of the comparator positive feedback RC charging and discharging oscillation circuit is as follows (taking the U2-A oscillation circuit as an example):

[0061] RC charge / discharge time constant τ=R6*C1;

[0062] The voltage Ut of capacitor C1 when the threshold of the oscillation circuit flips is Ut = R4 / (R4+R5) = 1 / 2VBB;

[0063] Set the initial voltage of capacitor C1 as Uc(t1) = R5 parallel R7 / (R4 + R5 parallel R7) = 1 / 3VBB;

[0064] The termination voltage of capacitor C1 is Uc(t2) = R4 parallel R7 / (R5 + R4 parallel R7) = 2 / 3VBB;

[0065] The expression for the capacitor voltage of capacitor C1 when it is charged from time t1 to time t2 (half a signal cycle) is:

[0066] Let Δt = t2 - t1 = T / 2, and substituting the parameters into the above formula, we get the circuit oscillation signal period T = 2R6C1ln2, and the frequency... (like Figure 12 (As shown).

[0067] The oscillation frequency of this circuit is designed to be close to 1.5Hz and 1.5KHz.

[0068] IV. Powered by a single CR20323V button cell battery (1.16V), the voltage range of the key components is fully compliant: LMV358CDRG: +2.1V~+5.5V, RDB226-S: +1.5~+4.5V, RDA226S-F: +2.2~+5.0V. The minimum operating voltage of this alarm can be roughly set to 2.5V.

[0069] The total current consumption of the alarm 1 is about 13 uA when the circuit is powered on and the digital pyroelectric sensor 1.13 is working, and about 133 uA when the piezoelectric buzzer alarm circuit is working. Assuming that the non-alarm working power consumption is calculated based on 3 hours of cooking and boiling water per day, and the alarm working power consumption is calculated based on 2 times of forgetting to turn off the valve alarm per day, each time for 1 minute, the single battery can be used for the alarm 1 for a conservative estimate of the length of time.

[0070] The daily power consumption W is 13 uA*3h+133 uA*2*1min / 60=43.4 uAh;

[0071] The nominal capacity of a conventional CR2032 battery is 230 mAh (milliampere-hour) at 20 degrees Celsius and 15KΩ, and the time consumption is 1200 hours, as shown in the discharge curve graph. Figure 13 As shown in the discharge curve graph, it takes 1100 hours for the battery to drop to the minimum working voltage of the alarm 1, which is 2.5V. It is estimated that the capacity of the battery in the interval above 2.5V is 230mAh*1100h / 1200h≈210mAh;

[0072] Therefore, the working time of the alarm 1 can be about 4839h, which is about 200 days, about 6.7 months, and it is estimated that the battery should be replaced every half year to ensure the normal working of the alarm 1.

[0073] The pads on the back of the circuit board 1.12 (with slight protrusions after tinning) are directly used as the negative contact points of the battery, and only one contact spring device 1.21 that contacts the positive electrode on the side of the battery is used for the installation of the battery, which achieves the effect of convenient product assembly and production while effectively controlling the cost of circuit devices, as shown in Figures 8-9 .
