[0071] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0072] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0073] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0074] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0075] In developing this invention, the inventors discovered numerous connection points for equipment and pipelines within hydrogen refueling stations. Preliminary statistics indicate over 100 connection points on the compressor skid, over 20 inside the hydrogen dispenser, and over 10 inside the unloading column. Typically, only one hydrogen leak detection alarm is installed inside the hydrogen dispenser and unloading column, and one to two are installed inside the compressor skid, making effective detection and location of hydrogen leaks difficult. Furthermore, the hydrogen leak detection alarms can only detect the presence or absence of a leak; they cannot provide a quantitative analysis of the amount of hydrogen leaked or the risks posed by the leak, thus hindering the large-scale application of this technology.

[0076] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a hydrogen leak detection and alarm device, comprising: a hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape, made of a hydrogen-sensitive leak detection material, applied to the connection of a hydrogen pipeline, which changes color according to the concentration of leaked hydrogen, displaying a color signal; a monitoring sensor, used to monitor the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape, collect the color signal of the tape, and convert the collected color signal into an electrical signal; a control module, used to determine whether a hydrogen leak has occurred based on the electrical signal, and calculate the risk level of the hydrogen leak when it occurs; and an alarm module, used to execute an alarm action based on the risk level of the hydrogen leak. This invention collects the color signal from the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape using a monitoring sensor and converts it into an electrical signal. The control module determines whether a hydrogen leak has occurred at the monitoring point based on the received electrical signal and calculates the risk level of the hydrogen leak, thereby achieving quantitative analysis of the hydrogen leak and ensuring the safe operation of hydrogen refueling stations. Through the above technical solution, this invention uses hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape to monitor hydrogen leaks, adopting a point-to-point hydrogen leak detection and alarm system. This solves the problems of false alarms and missed alarms caused by video recognition being easily interfered with by external factors such as environment and photography. By calculating the risk level of hydrogen leaks, quantitative analysis of hydrogen leaks is achieved. Through the designed monitoring sensor, it is adapted to be installed on all pipelines and equipment in the gas station, enabling accurate inspection at each point. This solves the problem of hydrogen leaks being difficult to detect in areas away from personnel inspection channels, and represents a significant advancement in hydrogen-sensitive color-changing technology from relying on personnel inspections to automatic alarms.

[0077] Example 1

[0078] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the hydrogen leak detection and alarm device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the hydrogen leak detection and alarm device provided in this embodiment includes:

[0079] Hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 is made of hydrogen-sensitive leak detection material and is applied to the connection of hydrogen pipeline 100. It changes color according to the concentration of hydrogen leak and displays a color signal.

[0080] The monitoring sensor 300 is used to monitor the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, collect the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, and convert the collected color signal into an electrical signal.

[0081] The control module is used to determine whether a hydrogen leak has occurred based on the electrical signal, and to calculate the risk level of the hydrogen leak when a hydrogen leak occurs.

[0082] An alarm module is used to execute an alarm action based on the risk level of the hydrogen leak.

[0083] Specifically, the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing adhesive tape 200 is prepared using hydrogen-sensitive leak detection materials, giving it a color-changing response characteristic to hydrogen leaks. As the concentration of leaked hydrogen increases, the tape changes from a light color to a dark blue. Furthermore, the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing adhesive tape 200 is described using the Lab color space. Specifically, before the color change, the L value in the Lab color space is 60~80, the a value is -10~10, and the b value is -15~15; after the color change, the L value in the Lab color space is 30~60, the a value is -20~0, and the b value is -30~0.

[0084] When the monitoring sensor 300 collects the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, the monitoring sensor 300 is used to convert the collected color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 into an electrical signal in real time. The control module is also used to convert the received electrical signal into a Lab detection value of the color signal described by the Lab color space.

[0085] In this embodiment, the control module is used to convert electrical signals into Lab detection values ​​described by the Lab color space, compare the Lab detection values ​​with Lab standard values, and determine whether hydrogen leakage has occurred based on the comparison results.

[0086] Further, the control module is configured to determine that hydrogen leakage has occurred when the comparison result shows that the L value of the Lab detection value is less than the L value of the Lab standard value, the a value of the Lab detection value is less than the a value of the Lab standard value, the b value of the Lab detection value is less than the b value of the Lab standard value, and the difference between the L value of the Lab detection value and the L value of the Lab standard value is less than a preset value. Specifically, the Lab detection value at a certain moment is obtained, and the Lab detection value at a certain moment is compared with the Lab standard value to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result is that the L value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the L value of the Lab standard value, the a value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the a value of the Lab standard value, the b value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the b value of the Lab standard value, and the difference between the L value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment and the L value of the Lab standard value is less than the preset value, it is determined that hydrogen leakage has occurred.

[0087] That is:

[0088] When L t < L, a t < a, b t < b and L - L t > 1, it is determined that hydrogen leakage has occurred.

[0089] Among them, L t is the L value of the Lab detection value at time t, a t is the a value of the Lab detection value at time t, b t [[ID=

[23] ]is the b value of the Lab detection value at time t, L is the L value of the Lab standard value, a is the a value of the Lab standard value, b is the b value of the Lab standard value, and the preset value is 1.

[0090] To avoid false alarms caused by environmental changes, when calculating the color change, it should satisfy that the change in the L value > 1, that is, L - L t > 1.

[0091] When it is detected that hydrogen leakage has occurred, the control module is configured to calculate the risk level of hydrogen leakage and issue an alarm of the corresponding level according to the risk level to perform corresponding fire protection actions.

[0092] Specifically, the control module is configured to calculate the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 二百 with reference to the Lab detection value of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 二百;

[0093] The control module is configured to calculate the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 二百 with reference to the Lab detection value of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 二百, including:

[0094] Calculating the color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value;

[0095] Calculating the color change rate of the a value in the Lab detection value; and

[0096] Calculate the color change rate of the b-value in the Lab detection values.

[0097] Through L , =(LL t The color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value is calculated by ) / t.

[0098] via a , =(aa t The color change rate of the 'a' value in the Lab detection value is obtained by calculating ) / t.

[0099] via b , =(bb t The color change rate of the b value in the Lab detection value is calculated by ) / t.

[0100] Where L , a represents the color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value. , Let a be the color change rate of the Lab detection value, and b be the value of color change rate. , The color change rate is represented by the b-value in the Lab detection values.

[0101] The risk level of hydrogen leakage is calculated based on the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200.

[0102] In this embodiment, the control module is used to calculate the risk level of hydrogen leakage based on the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, including:

[0103] The first risk coefficient is calculated based on the color change rate of the 'a' value in the Lab detection value and the first correction coefficient.

[0104] The second risk coefficient is calculated based on the color change rate of the b-value in the Lab detection value and the second correction coefficient.

[0105] The color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value is used as the third risk factor;

[0106] Specifically, the first risk factor is m×a , The second risk coefficient is n×b ’ And the third risk coefficient is L , m is the first correction factor, and n is the second correction factor.

[0107] The final risk coefficient is obtained based on the first, second, and third risk coefficients; specifically, the maximum value among the first, second, and third risk coefficients is selected as the final risk coefficient, i.e., the final risk coefficient R. L =max[L ’ ,m×a ’ ,n×b’ ], where R L This represents the final risk coefficient.

[0108] Furthermore, the present invention provides a risk level classification table for hydrogen leakage as follows:

[0109]

[0110] The risk level of hydrogen leakage is determined based on the final risk coefficient.

[0111] After the control module obtains the risk level of the hydrogen leak, it sends an alarm command corresponding to that risk level to the alarm module. The alarm module then executes alarm actions based on the alarm command, and these actions are tiered. The corresponding level of fire-fighting action is then executed based on the alarm level.

Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the monitoring sensor 300 includes a light source assembly 310, a photodetector 320, and a data repeater 340. The light source assembly 310 is used to illuminate the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200. The photodetector 320 is used to collect the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 and convert the collected color signal into an electrical signal. The data repeater 340 is used to receive the electrical signal sent from the photodetector 320 and send the electrical signal to the control module.

[0113] Specifically, the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 is affixed to the connection of the hydrogen pipeline 100 according to the actual situation of the hydrogen pipeline 100, and the monitoring sensor 300 is mounted on the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 to monitor the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200.

[0149] The hydrogen leak detection and alarm method of the present invention is applied to a hydrogen leak detection and alarm device, the hydrogen leak detection and alarm device comprising:

[0150] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the hydrogen leak detection and alarm device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the hydrogen leak detection and alarm device provided in this embodiment includes:

[0151] Hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 is made of hydrogen-sensitive leak detection material and is applied to the connection of hydrogen pipeline 100. It changes color according to the concentration of hydrogen leak and displays a color signal.

[0152] The monitoring sensor 300 is used to monitor the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, collect the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, and convert the collected color signal into an electrical signal.

[0153] The control module is used to determine whether a hydrogen leak has occurred based on the electrical signal, and to calculate the risk level of the hydrogen leak when a hydrogen leak occurs.

[0154] An alarm module is used to execute an alarm action based on the risk level of the hydrogen leak.

[0155] Specifically, the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing glue is prepared with a hydrogen-sensitive leakage detection material to make it have the characteristic of color-changing response to hydrogen leakage. As the concentration of the leaked hydrogen increases, the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 changes from light color to dark blue. Further, the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 is described in the Lab color space. Among them, when described in the Lab color space, the L value in the Lab value before color change is 60 - 80, the a value is -10 - 10, and the b value is -15 - 15; the L value in the Lab value after color change is 30 - 60, the a value is -20 - 0, and the b value is -30 - 0.

[0156] When the monitoring sensor 300 collects the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, the monitoring sensor 300 is used to convert the collected color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 into an electrical signal in real time, and the control module is further used to convert the received electrical signal into the Lab detection value of the color signal described in the Lab color space.

[0157] In this embodiment, the control module is used to convert the electrical signal into the Lab detection value described in the Lab color space, compare the Lab detection value with the Lab standard value, and judge whether hydrogen leakage has occurred according to the comparison result.

[0158] Further, the control module is used to determine that hydrogen leakage has occurred when the comparison result is that the L value of the Lab detection value is less than the L value of the Lab standard value, the a value of the Lab detection value is less than the a value of the Lab standard value, the b value of the Lab detection value is less than the b value of the Lab standard value, and the difference between the L value of the Lab detection value and the L value of the Lab standard value is less than the preset value. Specifically, obtain the Lab detection value at a certain moment, compare the Lab detection value at a certain moment with the Lab standard value, and obtain the comparison result. When the comparison result is: the L value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the L value of the Lab standard value, the a value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the a value of the Lab standard value, the b value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment is less than the b value of the Lab standard value, and the difference between the L value of the Lab detection value at a certain moment and the L value of the Lab standard value is less than the preset value, it is determined that hydrogen leakage has occurred.

[0159] That is:

[0160] When L t < L, a t < a, b t < b and L - L t > 1, it is determined that hydrogen leakage has occurred.

[0161] Among them, L t is the L value of the Lab detection value at time t, a t is the a value of the Lab detection value at time t, b tLet b be the Lab detection value at time t, L be the Lab standard value, a be the Lab standard value, b be the Lab standard value, and the preset value is 1.

[0162] To avoid false alarms caused by environmental changes, the L value change should be greater than 1 when calculating color changes, i.e., LL. t >1.

[0163] When a hydrogen leak is detected, the control module calculates the risk level of the hydrogen leak and issues an alarm of the corresponding level based on the risk level to execute the corresponding fire-fighting actions.

[0164] Specifically, the control module is used to calculate the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 based on the Lab detection value of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200;

[0165] The control module is used to calculate the color change rate of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 based on the Lab detection value of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, including:

[0166] Calculate the color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value;

[0167] Calculate the color change rate of the α value in the Lab detection values; and

[0168] Calculate the color change rate of the b-value in the Lab detection values.

[0169] Through L , =(LL t The color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value is calculated by ) / t.

[0170] via a , =(aa t The color change rate of the 'a' value in the Lab detection value is obtained by calculating ) / t.

[0171] via b , =(bb t The color change rate of the b value in the Lab detection value is calculated by ) / t.

[0172] Where L , a represents the color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value. , Let a be the color change rate of the Lab detection value, and b be the value of color change rate. , The color change rate is represented by the b-value in the Lab detection values.

[0173] The risk level of hydrogen leakage is calculated based on the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200.

[0174] In this embodiment, the control module is used to calculate the risk level of hydrogen leakage based on the color change rate of the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200, including:

[0175] The first risk coefficient is calculated based on the color change rate of the 'a' value in the Lab detection value and the first correction coefficient.

[0176] The second risk coefficient is calculated based on the color change rate of the b-value in the Lab detection value and the second correction coefficient.

[0177] The color change rate of the L value in the Lab detection value is used as the third risk factor;

[0178] Specifically, the first risk factor is m×a , The second risk coefficient is n×b ’ And the third risk coefficient is L , m is the first correction factor, and n is the second correction factor.

[0179] The final risk coefficient is obtained based on the first, second, and third risk coefficients; specifically, the maximum value among the first, second, and third risk coefficients is selected as the final risk coefficient, i.e., the final risk coefficient R. L =max[L ’ ,m×a ’ ,n×b ’ ], where R L This represents the final risk coefficient.

[0180] Furthermore, the present invention provides a risk level classification table for hydrogen leakage as follows:

[0181]

[0182] The risk level of hydrogen leakage is determined based on the final risk coefficient.

[0183] After the control module obtains the risk level of the hydrogen leak, it sends an alarm command corresponding to that risk level to the alarm module. The alarm module then executes alarm actions based on the alarm command, and these actions are tiered. The corresponding level of fire-fighting action is then executed based on the alarm level.

Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the monitoring sensor 300 includes a light source assembly 310, a photodetector 320, and a data repeater 340. The light source assembly 310 is used to illuminate the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200. The photodetector 320 is used to collect the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 and convert the collected color signal into an electrical signal. The data repeater 340 is used to receive the electrical signal sent from the photodetector 320 and send the electrical signal to the control module.

[0185] Specifically, the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 is affixed to the connection of the hydrogen pipeline 100 according to the actual situation of the hydrogen pipeline 100, and the monitoring sensor 300 is mounted on the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200 to monitor the color signal of the hydrogen-sensitive color-changing tape 200.
