[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a leakage detection device for a car hydrogen filling station, comprising a plurality of hydrogen tanks 1, a first connection box 2 is commonly provided at the front end of the plurality of hydrogen tanks 1, a connection pipe 3 is also commonly provided at the opening of the plurality of hydrogen tanks 1, the connection pipe 3 passes through the interior of the first connection box 2, the first connection box 2 has a sealing effect, if there is leakage of hydrogen at the opening of the hydrogen tank 1, it will be collected in the first connection box 2, a hydrogen energy vehicle 4 is provided at the end of the connection pipe 3, a second connection box 5 is provided at the left end of the first connection box 2, air detection will be performed inside the second connection box 5 during operation, a wind screw alarm 6 is provided at the left end of the second connection box 5, the wind screw alarm 6 is a prior art, and is a mechanical alarm invented by the principle of generating vibration through motor rotation, the motor provides power to rotate the relevant parts, thereby causing vibration, thereby emitting an alarm sound. In the present invention, the wind screw alarm 6 is in a passive control alarm state, and an alarm sound will be emitted when the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 rotates, and the faster the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 rotates, the louder the alarm sound will be.
[0020] Specifically, an exhaust device 10 and a fixed hydrogen detector 11 are provided at the rear of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the second connection box 5. The exhaust device 10 is a prior art and can be an air pump or other equipment. The fixed hydrogen detector 11 is a prior art and is a device specifically used to continuously monitor the hydrogen concentration in a specific area. It usually adopts technologies such as electrochemical sensors, catalytic combustion sensors or semiconductor sensors, and can sense the concentration changes of hydrogen in the environment in real time, and convert the detected concentration signals into electrical signals for processing and transmission. The exhaust device 10 is located on the right side of the fixed hydrogen detector 11, and the input end of the exhaust device 10 is connected to the inner cavity of the first connection box 2, and the output end of the exhaust device 10 is connected to the fixed hydrogen detector. The detector 11 is turned on, and the discharge end of the fixed hydrogen detector 11 is provided with an exhaust pipe 12 which runs through the second connection box 5 and the first connection box 2. After the fixed hydrogen detector 11 completes the detection, the detected air will be discharged back into the first connection box 2 to balance the air pressure; a motor 8 and a heating device 9 are also provided on the front part of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the second connection box 5. The heating device 9 is a prior art and can be a controllable electric heating device. The heating device 9 is located on the left side of the motor 8. The input end of the wind screw alarm 6 passes through the outer wall of the second connection box 5. An adjusting mechanism 7 is provided between the output end of the motor 8 and the input end of the wind screw alarm 6. When the motor 8 is working, the wind screw alarm 6 can be driven by the adjusting mechanism 7 to rotate and alarm.
[0021] Furthermore, the fixed hydrogen detector 11 is electrically connected to the heating device 9. When the fixed hydrogen detector 11 detects a hydrogen leakage, it will control the heating device 9 to start working to generate heat to increase the temperature in the second connection box 5. When the fixed hydrogen detector 11 detects that the hydrogen content is higher, the output power of the heating device 9 will be adjusted higher, so that the overall temperature in the second connection box 5 will increase.
[0022] In addition, the fixed hydrogen detector 11 is electrically connected to the motor 8. When the fixed hydrogen detector 11 detects a hydrogen leak, the motor 8 will be controlled to start working. The motor 8 can drive the wind screw alarm 6 to rotate and alarm through the adjustment mechanism 7.
[0023] Specifically, Figure 5 - Figure 7 As shown, the regulating mechanism 7 includes a rectangular sleeve 73, one side of the right end of the rectangular sleeve 73 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8, a first slider 75 is slidably installed on the side of the inner cavity of the rectangular sleeve 73 close to the output end of the motor 8, a piston cylinder 74 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner cavity of the rectangular sleeve 73 away from the output end of the motor 8, a guide rod 76 is fixedly connected to the end of the first slider 75 close to the piston cylinder 74, a piston plate 77 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 76 away from the first slider 75, and the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 74 is filled with paraffin, which is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from certain distillates of petroleum, shale oil or other asphalt mineral oils, and its main component is solid alkane, which is odorless and tasteless, and is a white or light yellow translucent solid. When paraffin is heated, the thermal motion of the molecules intensifies, the distance between the molecules increases, and the volume expands. On the contrary, when paraffin is cooled, the thermal motion of the molecules slows down, the distance between the molecules decreases, and the volume shrinks.
[0024] Therefore, when the overall temperature in the second connection box 5 rises, the paraffin in the piston cylinder 74 will expand, pushing the piston plate 77 to move with the piston cylinder 74 and the first slider 75 toward the side close to the output end of the motor 8.
[0025] In addition, the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 is fixedly connected with a sliding sleeve 71, and the inner surface of the sliding sleeve 71 is slidably mounted with a second slider 72. The left end of the first slider 75 is fixedly connected with a rotating rod 78, and the rotating rod 78 is rotatably connected to the second slider 72. In the process of the first slider 75 moving toward the side close to the output end of the motor 8, the second slider 72 will gradually approach the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 due to the constraint of the rotating rod 78, and the second slider 72, which originally deviated from the axis of the input end of the wind screw alarm 6, will gradually approach at this time. Therefore, when the motor 8 is working, it will swing with the rectangular sleeve 73. The higher the temperature, the position of the first slider 75 and the second slider 72 will change. The second slider 72, which originally deviated from the axis of the input end of the wind screw alarm 6, will gradually approach at this time, swinging faster with the sliding sleeve 71, so that the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 can rotate faster, and the alarm sound initiated is louder.
[0026] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the fixed hydrogen detector 11 detects hydrogen leakage, the hydrogen refueling station uses a hydrogen leakage detection device to control the heating device 9 to start working to generate heat to increase the temperature in the second connection box 5. When the fixed hydrogen detector 11 detects a higher hydrogen content, the output power of the heating device 9 will be adjusted to be higher, so that the overall temperature in the second connection box 5 increases; When the overall temperature in the second connection box 5 rises, the paraffin in the piston cylinder 74 will expand, pushing the piston plate 77 to move the piston cylinder 74 and the first slider 75 toward the side close to the output end of the motor 8; And when the motor 8 is working, it will swing with the rectangular sleeve 73. The higher the temperature, the position of the first slider 75 and the second slider 72 will change. The second slider 72, which originally deviated from the axis of the input end of the wind screw alarm 6, will gradually approach and swing with the sliding sleeve 71 faster, so that the input end of the wind screw alarm 6 can rotate faster and the alarm sound can be louder. Therefore, the higher the degree of hydrogen leakage, the louder the alarm sound initiated by the wind screw alarm 6.
