First, a layer of fireproof felt is laid, then a certain thickness of fireproof mud or fireproof granular material is filled, and finally a layer of fireproof fiberglass cloth is covered; this multi-layer flame retardant structure can more effectively prevent the spread of fire and improve the protection ability for the internal liquefied oxygen; ensure that when encountering an external fire source, it can provide enough fire protection time for the inner bottle body 3; The inner wall of the filling cavity 7 is provided with a heat insulation coating to further enhance the heat insulation and fire prevention performance; the heat insulation coating is selected as a ceramic heat insulation paint, which can reflect and isolate heat, preventing heat from being transferred to the inner bottle body 3, so as to ensure the temperature stability of the liquefied oxygen in the inner bottle body 3 and prevent safety accidents caused by excessive temperature; A detector mounting strip 9 is installed in the air permeable cavity 8, and gas sensors are evenly installed on the detector mounting strip 9; The detector mounting strip 9 is not provided in the filling cavity 7 where the locking bolt 4 is located; a display is embedded and installed on one side wall of the outer bottle body 1, and the display is electrically connected to the detector mounting strip 9; an alarm horn is provided on the display, and the surface of the display after installation is lower than the surface of the outer bottle body 1; The gas sensors include various types, such as oxygen concentration sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, combustible gas sensors, etc.; the oxygen concentration sensor is used to monitor the concentration of the internal liquefied oxygen in real time, preventing safety problems caused by too high or too low oxygen concentration due to leakage; the temperature sensor can monitor the temperature around the inner bottle body 3 to detect abnormal temperature changes in time; the pressure sensor can monitor the pressure in the inner bottle body 3, and when the pressure exceeds the normal range, it can trigger an alarm; the combustible gas sensor can detect whether there is any leakage of combustible gas around the device to ensure environmental safety; these sensors can adopt high-precision and high-reliability sensor modules and have good anti-interference ability and long-term stability.

[0014] The working principle of this solution: The outer bottle body 1 is designed as a rhombic cylinder. Compared with the traditional circular cylinder, while ensuring the storage space, it can better adapt to different installation environments, be more stable when placed, and reduce the possibility of rolling; the four corners are treated with blunt corners to avoid sharp corners scratching personnel or equipment during transportation or installation, and at the same time improve the overall structural stability to prevent the bottle body from being damaged due to stress concentration at the sharp corners when impacted by external forces; A plurality of locking bolts 4 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of one side of the outer bottle body 1, which extend inward into the installation groove 2, and the friction end heads 6 at the inner ends abut against the side wall of the inner bottle body 3; in this way, the position of the inner bottle body 3 is restricted by the friction force to realize the fixation and limit of the inner bottle body 3; the locking bolt 4 is provided with an adjustment handle to facilitate the operator to use tools or manually adjust the fixing force; A multi-layer flame retardant structure is adopted in the filling cavity 7 on the inner wall of the installation groove 2. First, a fireproof felt is laid, then fireproof mud or fireproof granular materials are filled, and finally a fireproof fiberglass cloth is covered; this structure can effectively prevent the spread of fire and provide sufficient fire protection time for the inner bottle body 3 when encountering an external fire source; The inner wall of the filling cavity 7 is provided with a ceramic heat insulation paint as the heat insulation coating, which can reflect and isolate heat, prevent heat from being transferred to the inner bottle body 3, ensure the temperature stability of the liquefied oxygen in the inner bottle body 3, and avoid safety accidents caused by excessive temperature; A variety of gas sensors are evenly installed on the detector mounting strip 9 inside the breathable cavity 8, including an oxygen concentration sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a combustible gas sensor, etc.; the oxygen concentration sensor monitors the internal liquid oxygen concentration in real time to prevent safety problems caused by too high or too low oxygen concentration due to leakage; the temperature sensor monitors the temperature around the inner bottle body 3 to detect abnormal temperature changes in time; the pressure sensor monitors the pressure inside the inner bottle body 3, and triggers an alarm when the pressure exceeds the normal range; the combustible gas sensor detects whether there is combustible gas leakage around the device to ensure environmental safety; these sensors adopt high-precision and high-reliability modules, with good anti-interference ability and long-term stability; The display is linked with the alarm horn, and the sensors on the detector mounting strip 9 are electrically connected to the display embedded in the side wall of the outer bottle body 1; the display is equipped with an alarm horn, and its surface is lower than the surface of the outer bottle body 1 after installation to prevent damage; the sensors transmit the monitoring data to the display, and once the monitoring data is abnormal, the display controls the alarm horn to sound an alarm to remind the operator to deal with it in time and ensure the safe operation of the device; The display is equipped with a detachable battery, and the battery provides power for the detection sensors; the electrical signals (usually analog signals) collected by these sensors are transmitted to the signal processing circuit inside the display through a wired connection method (such as a shielded cable); the shielded cable can effectively reduce external electromagnetic interference and ensure the accuracy of signal transmission; during the transmission of the analog signal, certain attenuation may occur due to factors such as line loss, so a signal amplifier may be set in the transmission line to amplify the signal to ensure that the signal strength meets the requirements of subsequent processing The signal processing circuit inside the display first converts the received analog signal into a digital signal through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC); the analog-to-digital converter can convert the continuously changing analog quantity into discrete digital quantities according to a certain quantization accuracy, which is convenient for subsequent digital circuits to process; The converted digital signal is transmitted to the microprocessor (MCU) or digital signal processor (DSP) inside the display; these processors process and analyze the digital signal according to the preset algorithms and programs; for example, compare the values collected by the sensors with the preset normal range to determine whether the current monitoring parameters are in a normal state; if the signal value transmitted by the oxygen concentration sensor exceeds the normal oxygen concentration range, the processor will identify this as an abnormal situation; The processed and analyzed data is presented to the user in an intuitive manner by the processor controlling the display; when the processor determines that the data of one or more sensors exceeds the normal range, an alarm mechanism is triggered; the processor sends a control signal to the drive circuit of the alarm horn to drive the alarm horn to emit a sound alarm; for example, when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure inside the inner bottle exceeds the safety upper limit, the processor immediately sends a high-level signal to the drive circuit of the alarm horn to drive the alarm horn to emit a loud alarm sound, reminding the operator of potential danger and the need to take corresponding measures in a timely manner.
