Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of gas detection, and particularly relates to an explosive gas detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen is a gas which is extremely flammable, colorless, odorless and difficult to dissolve in water. Since hydrogen is flammable and explosive, hydrogen needs to be detected during the production and transportation of hydrogen to ensure timely hydrogen leakage and reduce the possibility of safety accidents.

[0003] At present, hydrogen detection sensors and other instruments are the most common hydrogen detection devices, which are generally installed at each docking port of the water pipeline and at the ventilation hole in the workshop. Since hydrogen leakage is more likely to occur at the docking port, detection at the docking port can timely discover hydrogen leakage. The ventilation hole is the air circulation place of the whole space, so that hydrogen leakage can be timely discovered after leakage occurs at a certain place of the pipeline (not at the docking port of the pipeline).

[0004] However, the fixed-position detection method has a limited detection coverage. During the production of hydrogen, water vapor and the like are often accompanied. During the long-term use of the pipeline, corrosion points are prone to occur. Under the high-pressure transportation state, in combination with the high penetration of hydrogen itself, the hydrogen pipeline has the possibility of micro-hole leakage at the pipeline body in addition to the docking port. Since the hydrogen molecule is small and has a high diffusion speed, the detection instrument at the docking port is not easy to detect hydrogen leakage at the pipeline body. When the hydrogen leaks through the micro-hole, the amount of hydrogen escaping is small, and under the action of the high air flow at the ventilation hole, the detection instrument is not easy to detect hydrogen leakage. Moreover, it is not conducive to the positioning of the point leakage, which brings certain difficulties to timely repair. SUMMARY

[0034] The end surface of the upper mounting plate 3 is provided with a gas storage prompt mechanism 13 matched with the gas supply mechanism 7, the gas storage prompt mechanism 13 comprises a storage barrel 131 fixedly installed on the end surface of the upper mounting plate 3, the inner bottom of the storage barrel 131 is fixedly provided with a safety air bag 132, the side wall of the storage barrel 131 and the pipe wall of the gas conveying pipe 73 are jointly and fixedly provided with an exhaust pipe 133, the exhaust pipe 133 is arranged above the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107, the inside of the exhaust pipe 133 is provided with a first normally open electromagnetic valve 134, the exhaust pipe 133 and the safety air bag 132 are in communication, the side wall of the safety air bag 132 and the side wall of the storage barrel 131 are jointly and fixedly provided with a tail gas pipe 135, the inside of the tail gas pipe 135 is provided with a second normally open electromagnetic valve 136, the end surface of the lower mounting plate 4 is provided with a second electromagnetic switch 137 electrically connected with the columnar tin oxide 85, the second electromagnetic switch 137 is electrically connected with the first normally open electromagnetic valve 134 and the second normally open electromagnetic valve 136 through the controller 14, the second electromagnetic switch 137 needs a larger current to attract its movable contact compared with the first electromagnetic switch 86, the safety air bag 132 is used for temporarily storing hydrogen when the hydrogen concentration is high, and when the hydrogen concentration is low, hydrogen can be directly discharged through the tail gas pipe 135, because the concentration is low, it will not cause explosion and other dangers, the outer surface of the safety air bag 132 is coated with fluorescent paint (or colored paint), and is bonded with a reflective sticker (not shown in the figure), which is used for identifying the position of the safety air bag 132 in a dim light.

[0035] The side wall of the two safety air bags 132 is fixedly provided with a gas pressure pipe 19, and the inside of the two gas pressure pipes 19 is provided with a gas pressure valve 20, through the gas pressure valve 20 in the inside of the gas pressure pipe 19, the excess gas can be discharged after enough gas is filled in the inside of the safety air bag 132, and because hydrogen is lighter, hydrogen will be located on the upper side of the safety air bag 132 compared with air, so when the gas pressure valve 20 is opened, the air on the lower side will be discharged first, so as to reduce the leakage of hydrogen as much as possible.

[0036] The operation principle of the present application is described as follows: four half ring plates 1 are sleeved on the right end of the pipeline 2 outside, and the movable ends of two half ring plates 1 on the same side are locked and fixed, then the controller 14 is started;

[0037] After the controller 14 is started, the air pump 72 starts to work, and the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107 in the gas conveying pipe 73, the first normally open electromagnetic valve 134 in the two exhaust pipes 133 and the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 103 in the two shunt pipes 102 are synchronously controlled to work, at this time, the air conveyed by the air pump 72 enters the shunt cavity 101 through the gas conveying pipe 73, then the air enters the corresponding annular groove 104 through the two shunt pipes 102 and the hose 106, and through the communication pipe 105, the air in each annular groove 104 is filled, and the filled air can make each annular air bag sleeve 9 expand and abut against the outer wall of the pipeline 2, the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107, the two first normally open electromagnetic valves 134 and the two first normally closed electromagnetic valves 103 are controlled by the controller 14 to work for 5 seconds and then are powered off, at this time, the air conveyed by the air pump 72 enters the two exhaust pipes 133, then the air passes through the safety air bag 132 on both sides and is discharged through the tail gas pipe 135, and if there is a hydrogen leakage point between the two annular air bag sleeves 9 on the same side of the pipeline 2, the leaked hydrogen will quickly fill the space between the two annular air bag sleeves 9, so that the pressure in the space surrounded by the two annular air bag sleeves 9, the pipeline 2 and the two half ring plates 1 on the same side is larger, so that the elastic film 123 expands, so that the pressure in the mounting groove 121 increases, under the action of the gas pressure, the movable contact of the gas pressure automatic switch 122 is closed, at this time, the connection circuit of the controller 14 and the buzzer 87 is connected, so that the buzzer 87 starts to work and prompts, and under the action of the abutment and sealing of the two annular air bag sleeves 9 and the outer wall of the pipeline 2, the hydrogen leakage point can be temporarily plugged, and the hydrogen leakage is reduced;

[0038] When the air pump 72 is working, the suction end of the air pump 72 can suck external air through the air suction pipe 74, the air inlet pipe 16 on the ball 81, the hollow circular plate 17 on the air inlet pipe 16, and the air suction hole 18. Since the hydrogen molecules are small (about 0.289 nanometers), the hydrogen in the air entering the ball 81 can easily pass through the polytetrafluoroethylene selective permeation membrane 84 on the spherical insulating framework 83. Since the molecules of the components of the air are large, and the particle size of the water vapor and dust in the air is large, they are not easy to pass through the polytetrafluoroethylene selective permeation membrane 84. Therefore, when the air passes through the inner convex air blocking ring 88, the gap between the inner convex air blocking ring 88 and the polytetrafluoroethylene selective permeation membrane 84 becomes smaller. At this time, if the air contains leaked hydrogen, the hydrogen will easily enter the polytetrafluoroethylene selective permeation membrane 84. Under normal conditions, there are oxygen vacancies in the crystal lattice of the columnar tin oxide 85, which hinders electron conduction, so the resistance is high. When the hydrogen entering the polytetrafluoroethylene selective permeation membrane 84 contacts the columnar tin oxide 85, the hydrogen will react with the oxygen vacancies and form water vapor, which will reduce the oxygen vacancies and improve the conductivity of the columnar tin oxide 85. The higher the hydrogen concentration, the lower the resistance of the columnar tin oxide 85. When the resistance of the columnar tin oxide 85 decreases significantly, the resistance in the connection circuit of the columnar tin oxide 85, the first electromagnetic switch 86, and the controller 14 becomes lower. At this time, the current flowing into the first electromagnetic switch 86 is larger, so the moving contact of the first electromagnetic switch 86 is magnetically attracted and closed. At this time, the connection circuit between the buzzer 87 and the controller 14 is avoided, so the buzzer 87 can emit a buzzing sound to prompt;

[0039] At the same time, if the hydrogen concentration is high, the resistance of the columnar tin oxide 85 will decrease significantly. At this time, the current flowing into the second electromagnetic switch 137 is sufficient to attract the moving contact of the second electromagnetic switch 137, so the second normally open electromagnetic valve 136 in the two tail gas pipes 135 is energized. At this time, the air discharged into the safety airbag 132 through the exhaust pipe 133 cannot be discharged in time through the tail gas pipe 135, so the gas in the safety airbag 132 increases, and under the action of air pressure, the safety airbag 132 can expand and expand to the outside of the storage barrel 131. In cooperation with the fluorescent paint on the surface of the safety airbag 132, the colored pigment box reflective sticker, etc., it can be convenient for personnel to see the safety airbag 132 in dim light. When personnel see the safety airbag 132 expanding, they can know that the concentration of the leaked hydrogen is high, so they can take appropriate treatment measures in time. The safety airbag 132 can temporarily store the leaked hydrogen, improving the safety effect;

[0040] Simultaneously, the controller 14 controls the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107, two first normally open electromagnetic valves 134 and two first normally closed electromagnetic valves 103 to work for 5 seconds, and then to be powered off, so that the half ring plate 1 stays on the pipeline 2 for 20 seconds. When no hydrogen leakage is detected, the controller 14 controls the third normally closed electromagnetic valve 109 inside the circular tube 108 away from the right end of the pipeline 2 to be powered on for 3 seconds, at this time, the air in the two annular grooves 104 on this side cooperates with the communication pipe 105 to be discharged through the circular tube 108, and the annular air bag sleeve 9 is retracted under the elastic force of itself to recover and separate from the pipeline 2. Subsequently, the controller 14 controls the two electric push rods 112 to output for 1 second, at this time, the two half ring plates 1 away from the pipeline 2 are pushed out by a fixed distance. Subsequently, the controller 14 controls the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107 inside the gas supply pipe 73, the first normally open electromagnetic valve 134 inside the two exhaust pipes 133, and the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 103 inside the two shunt pipes 102 to be powered on for 2.5 seconds, at this time, the annular air bag sleeve 9 on the two half ring plates 1 that are pushed out is recharged with air, so that the annular air bag sleeve 9 is re-inflated and abuts against the outer wall of the pipeline 2. Then, the controller 14 controls the third normally closed electromagnetic valve 109 inside the circular tube 108 close to the right end of the pipeline 2 to be powered on for 3 seconds, at this time, the air in the two annular grooves 104 on this side cooperates with the communication pipe 105 to be discharged through the circular tube 108. Subsequently, the controller 14 controls the two electric push rods 112 to retract for 1 second. Since the annular air bag sleeve 9 on the two half ring plates 1 that are pushed out abuts against the pipeline 2, the two half ring plates 1 on this side can be fixed, so that when the electric push rod 112 retracts, the other two half ring plates 1 can be pulled and moved by a fixed distance. Subsequently, the controller 14 controls the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107 inside the gas supply pipe 73, the first normally open electromagnetic valve 134 inside the two exhaust pipes 133, and the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 103 inside the two shunt pipes 102 to be powered on for 2.5 seconds, so that the two annular air bag sleeves 9 can abut against the outer wall of the pipeline 2. The controller 14 controls the two electric push rods 112 to output for 1 second, at this time, the two half ring plates 1 that are pulled and moved by a fixed distance are pushed out by a fixed distance. Subsequently, the controller 14 controls the second normally closed electromagnetic valve 107 inside the gas supply pipe 73, the first normally open electromagnetic valve 134 inside the two exhaust pipes 133, and the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 103 inside the two shunt pipes 102 to be powered on for 2.5 seconds, so that the two annular air bag sleeves 9 can abut against the outer wall of the pipeline 2.5 seconds later, the second normally closed solenoid valve 107 inside the gas supply pipe 73, the first normally open solenoid valve 134 inside the two exhaust pipes 133, and the first normally closed solenoid valve 103 inside the two shunt pipes 102 are de-energized, and the new position of the pipe 2 is detected. If no hydrogen is detected within 20 seconds of detection, the controller 14 controls the half ring plate 1 to continue moving to the next position of the pipe 2 for detection. If hydrogen leakage is detected during the process, the movement of the half ring plate 1 is stopped, and the third normally closed solenoid valve 109 inside the circular pipe 108 is not controlled to work. When the half ring plate 1 moves from the right end of the pipe 2 to the left end of the pipe 2, the travel switch 114 on the side top column 113 on the left half ring plate 1 will hit the side wall of the mounting flange at the left end of the pipe 2. At this time, the moving contact of the travel switch 114 will close under the impact and extrusion, and a certain electrical signal will be given to the controller 14 after the moving contact of the travel switch 114 is closed. The controller 14 then controls the third normally closed solenoid valve 109 inside the two circular pipes 108 to be energized and work. At this time, the air inside the two annular air bag sleeves 9 is completely discharged, and after 3 seconds, the controller 14 controls the second normally closed solenoid valve 107 inside the gas supply pipe 73, the first normally open solenoid valve 134 inside the two exhaust pipes 133, and the first normally closed solenoid valve 103 inside the left shunt pipe 102 to be energized and work for 2.5 seconds. Then, the controller 14 starts the electric push rod 112 to retract for 1 second. At this time, the entire device starts to perform the return cruise work on the pipe 2 until the right travel switch 114 is triggered.

Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
