[0019] A control method of an LPG intelligent multipurpose pump tank truck designed for the purpose, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:
[0020] A. The cloud platform issues a liquid unloading or pumping task to the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal, and the dangerous goods driver drives the LPG pump tank truck to a designated liquid unloading or pumping site according to the task requirements, and the vehicle-mounted positioning and the positioning of the designated storage tank are within the electronic fence range delimited by the Beidou positioning system;
[0021] B. The dangerous goods driver inputs a liquid unloading or pumping task volume on the vehicle-mounted central control device, and the vehicle-mounted central control device locally records the liquid unloading or pumping task and then performs self-checking on the pump tank truck through the informationized sensor system;
[0022] C. The dangerous goods driver opens the operation box door according to the password of the Internet of Things lock pushed by the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal, connects the liquid filling and pumping gun with the liquid filling port or the residual liquid discharge port of the storage tank, and connects the gas return gun with the gas return port of the storage tank;

[0024] E. After the hazardous materials transport driver sees the unloading permission pushed by the vehicle-mounted central control device, he starts the unloading or pumping operation. After receiving the unloading or pumping start command, the unloading pump system or the pumping pump system starts the pressure pump in the forward or reverse direction through the vehicle-mounted servo control system. The LPG in the mobile pressure vessel flows to the storage tank through the liquid phase pipeline of the unloading pump system, or the LPG in the storage tank flows to the mobile pressure vessel through the liquid phase pipeline of the pumping pump system.
[0025] F. After the unloading or pumping operation is completed, the hazardous materials transport driver will reset the filling pumping gun and the air return gun, and close the control box door and the IoT lock. The vehicle-mounted central control device will automatically identify the end of the unloading or pumping operation based on the status of the access control and the IoT lock. The vehicle-mounted central control device will use the data collected from the mass flow meter to calculate the actual unloading or pumping volume of this task for settlement with the customer, and push the data of this unloading or pumping to the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal and the cloud platform through the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal.
[0026] In step B, before the hazardous materials transport driver enters the unloading or pumping task volume on the vehicle-mounted central control device, the hazardous materials transport driver logs into the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal and performs human-vehicle mutual recognition. After the human-vehicle recognition is successful, the vehicle-mounted central control device begins to accept the task information and operation instructions related to unloading and pumping input by the hazardous materials transport driver.

[0028] In step E, when unloading or pumping operations are underway, if the detection value of the information sensor system exceeds the set threshold of the vehicle-mounted central control device or the fixed-point unloading or pumping function fails, the intrinsically safe protection action is automatically implemented and the unloading pump or pumping pump and all solenoid valves are shut down, putting the tanker truck with pump in a protected state. The vehicle-mounted central control device displays alarm information locally and simultaneously transmits the alarm information to the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal, which then transmits it to the cloud platform. The cloud platform records the status of the tanker truck with pump and pushes the real-time vehicle status and auxiliary decision-making suggestions to the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal and the vehicle-mounted central control device. The hazardous materials transport driver can then independently conduct safety checks and operational operations based on the pushed information.
[0029] In step F, when the IoT lock changes its on / off state, it triggers the vehicle-mounted central control device to synchronously collect real-time data from the mass flow meter. After confirming the completion of the unloading or pumping task on the central control interface, the vehicle-mounted central control device is triggered to use the collected data to calculate the actual unloading or pumping volume for this task.
[0030] The Internet of Things lock, the vehicle-mounted central control device and the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal are connected through hardware communication, and the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal and the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal are connected through wireless communication; the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal collects data of the vehicle-mounted central control device and reports the data to the cloud platform in real time, temporarily stores all data if it is detected that the communication network condition is not available, and completes the full data retransmission according to the protocol with the cloud platform after the communication network condition is restored; when the pump tank truck implements the liquid unloading or pumping task in the mobile communication network environment, the cloud platform synchronously obtains the data of the tank terminal through the information channel of the liquefied petroleum gas tank and verifies the data retransmitted by the subsequent vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal.
[0031] The cloud platform issues the liquid unloading or pumping task to the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal, the dangerous goods driver receives the task, inputs the liquid unloading or pumping task quantity on the vehicle-mounted central control device, opens the operation box door through the password of the Internet of Things lock pushed by the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal, and completes the reading matching with the tank through the vehicle-mounted electronic reading system, so that the liquid unloading or pumping operation can be started, most of the process is remote operation, the use of the pump tank truck is very convenient, the cloud platform is used to manage the liquid unloading or pumping task, and the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal and the vehicle-mounted central control device are used to operate the system, so that the pump tank truck is more intelligent, the vehicle-mounted central control device locally inputs the liquid unloading or pumping task, and performs self-checking on the pump tank truck through the information sensor system, confirms whether the state of the pump tank truck is abnormal, and when the detection value of the information sensor system exceeds the set threshold value or the fixed-point liquid unloading function fails during the liquid unloading or pumping operation, automatically implements the intrinsically safe protection action and closes the liquid unloading pump or the liquid pumping pump and all electromagnetic valves, so that the pump tank truck is in a protection state, and the safety of the use of the pump tank truck is greatly improved, and when the liquid unloading or pumping operation is completed, the vehicle-mounted central control device calculates the actual liquid unloading or pumping quantity of this task by using the data of the mass flowmeter, realizes the settlement function, and improves the practicability of the pump tank truck.

[0054] F、 After unloading or pumping operation is completed, dangerous driver resets the liquid filling and pumping gun, closes the operation box door and the Internet of things lock 6, vehicle-mounted central control device 3 autonomously identifies unloading or pumping operation end according to the state of access control and the Internet of things lock 6, vehicle-mounted central control device 3 calculates actual unloading or pumping volume of this task by using the data of mass flow meter 12 collected, to settle with customers, and pushes the data of this unloading or pumping to vehicle-mounted handheld terminal 5 and cloud platform 1 through vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal 13.
[0055] The control method of the LPG intelligent multipurpose pump tank truck system aims to fill the market gap of the small liquefied petroleum gas storage tank unloading and safety emergency pumping dual-purpose pump truck equipment. The system is formed by a combination of an intrinsically safe linkage vehicle-mounted self-control system, a vehicle-mounted electronic reading and sensing system, a self-adaptive near / remote communication system, and a remote information-based intelligent decision-making management system, and achieves intrinsically safe intelligent operation, multipurpose use, communication environment self-adaptation, and intelligent cloud-assisted decision-making.

[0057] In step B, before the driver inputs the unloading or pumping task quantity on the vehicle-mounted central control device 3, the driver logs in to the vehicle-mounted handheld terminal 5 and performs mutual recognition between the driver and the vehicle. The vehicle-mounted handheld terminal 5 connects the vehicle-mounted central control device 3 and the vehicle-tank recognition device configured by the vehicle-mounted central control device through the vehicle-mounted data encryption terminal 13 to achieve mutual recognition. After successful human-vehicle recognition, the vehicle-mounted central control device 3 starts to accept the driver's input of unloading, pumping-related task information and operation instructions. Successful vehicle-tank recognition and pairing are necessary conditions for the start of the vehicle-mounted unloading pump system 8 or the pumping pump system 9.
[0058] In step B, the self-check items include satellite positioning, LPG pressure, LPG liquid level, LPG temperature, combustible gas concentration, operation box door switch state, pumping gun in place state, back gas gun in place state, height limit trigger state, emergency switch state, remote control emergency switch state, collision trigger state, shut-off valve switch state, pump switch state, Internet of Things lock switch state, and mass flowmeter state.

[0060] The whole process of unloading or pumping operation is monitored by the positioning sensor, pressure sensor 14, liquid level sensor 15 and temperature sensor 16 in the information sensor system, which transmits real-time monitoring signals to the vehicle-mounted central control device. The vehicle-mounted central control device 3 has autonomous threshold judgment capability.

[0069] The unloading pump system 8 and the pumping system 9 are integrated and shared, and comprise a pressure pump and a reversing control device. The pressure pump is switched between forward working and reverse working by the reversing control device. The pressure pump is for the unloading pump system 8 in the forward working state, and is for the pumping system 9 in the reverse working state. The same set of system contains the pressure pump and the reversing control device to realize two working conditions, one of which is the unloading condition, and the other of which is the pumping condition. Therefore, the tank truck with pump is a multipurpose LPG tank truck, which has the functions of closed unloading to the small LPG tank and closed pumping from the small LPG tank.
[0070] The unloading pump system 8 extracts the liquid phase LPG from the vehicle-mounted mobile pressure container 11 to the small tank, and the pumping system 9 extracts the liquid phase LPG from the small LPG tank to the vehicle-mounted mobile pressure container 11.
