[0002] At present, during the operation of internal floating roof storage tanks in petrochemical enterprises, since the internal floating disk does not contact the liquid surface, as the service life of the internal floating disk increases, the sealing performance deteriorates, resulting in the oil and gas concentration in the tank usually being above 2000 ppm, and the phenomenon of the concentration value exceeding 10000 ppm occurs commonly. At the same time, due to the complex gas phase space components and high environmental humidity in the internal floating roof storage tank, it is easy to cause corrosion of the internal floating disk, and the daily inspection and maintenance of the internal floating disk are relatively difficult, making it difficult to detect the leakage of the floating disk in a timely manner.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention.

[0021] Example 1, as Figures 1-4 shown, an internal floating roof storage tank combustible gas concentration monitoring system includes a rotation and mounting cloud platform 1 and a plurality of oil depot storage tanks 2. The oil depot storage tanks 2 are evenly arranged at equal intervals around the outside of the rotation and mounting cloud platform 1. A passive Fourier transform infrared remote sensing analyzer 3 is installed above the rotation and mounting cloud platform 1. A plurality of monitoring holes 4 are evenly arranged around the upper side surface of the oil depot storage tank 2. The monitoring ports of the passive Fourier transform infrared remote sensing analyzer 3 correspond to the respective monitoring holes 4; the monitoring holes 4 are located above the internal floating tray inside the oil depot storage tank 2,

[0022] The signal output end of the passive Fourier transform infrared remote sensing analyzer 3 is connected to the central control system through a communication interface. The signal output end of the central control system is connected to the signal input end of the alarm device. The signal output end of the central control system is also connected to the control port of the rotation and mounting cloud platform 1.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] During use, the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 is installed on the rotating mounting platform 1, and then the rotating mounting platform 1 is fixed at the position between each oil depot storage tank 2, so that the monitoring port of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 can correspond to the monitoring holes 4 of all oil depot storage tanks 2; then, the central control system is used to control the movement and rotation of the rotating mounting platform 1, so that the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 is aligned with each monitoring hole 4 in turn, so that the combustible gas concentration in each oil depot storage tank can be monitored in real time through the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3, and the data is transmitted to the central control system, and then analyzed and processed by the central control system to judge whether the gas concentration reaches the safety threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the central control system immediately activates the alarm device to issue an alarm and generate an alarm log.

[0025] In this embodiment, by installing the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 on the rotating mounting platform 1 and fixing the rotating mounting platform 1 at the position between each oil depot storage tank 2, the comprehensive coverage monitoring of the combustible gas concentration in multiple oil depot storage tanks is realized, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the monitoring data, and effectively improving the safety protection ability of the storage tank area. The passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 can realize the day and night visual monitoring of each oil depot storage tank 2.

[0026] Embodiment 2, as a further preferred solution of Embodiment 1, the rotating mounting platform 1 includes a moving platform 101, a support frame 102 is vertically installed above the moving platform 101, a lifting slide table module 103 is installed on the side of the support frame 102, a bearing platform 104 is slidably connected to the side of the lifting slide table module 103 through a slider, a pan-tilt motor 105 is installed on the bearing platform 104, a bearing frame 106 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the pan-tilt motor 105, and both sides of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 are respectively rotationally connected to the middle of the bearing frame 106 through a rotating shaft; a bearing is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft and the bearing frame 106, and one end of an electric telescopic rod 107 is rotatably connected to the bearing frame 106, and the other end of the electric telescopic rod 107 is connected to the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3. Among them, the control ports of the moving platform 101, the lifting slide table module 103, the pan-tilt motor 105, and the electric telescopic rod 107 are all connected to the central control system.

[0027] During the working process, the mobile platform 101 can be controlled to drive the entire rotating mounting pan-tilt 1 to move to a suitable position. Then, the height of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 can be adjusted by controlling the lifting slide table module 103 so that the height position of its monitoring port corresponds to that of the monitoring holes of each oil depot storage tank. When monitoring, the coordinated actions of the pan-tilt motor 105 and the electric telescopic rod 107 can be controlled to achieve the omnidirectional rotation and flexible angle adjustment of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3, ensuring that it can accurately align with each monitoring hole, thereby realizing the dead-angle-free monitoring of the combustible gas concentration in the oil depot storage tank, further improving the monitoring accuracy and response speed of the system, and ensuring the safe operation of the oil depot.

[0028] Embodiment 3, as a further preferred solution of Embodiment 1, a light guiding component 6 is arranged outside the monitoring hole 4. The light guiding component includes a condenser housing 601 and a condenser lens 602. The condenser housing 601 is arranged in a horn-shaped structure. The small-mouth end of the condenser housing 601 is fixedly installed on the outside of the oil depot storage tank 2. A prism 603 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the condenser housing 601 near the small-mouth end. The condenser lens 602 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the condenser housing 601 near the large-mouth end; the focal point of the condenser lens 602 is located inside the condenser housing 601 and is converted into parallel light through the prism 603. By arranging the light guiding component 6, the light can be focused into the condenser housing 601 through the condenser lens 602 at the large-mouth end of the condenser housing 601, and then the focused light can be changed into parallel light through the prism 25. Thus, the monitoring range can be effectively expanded, and the accuracy of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer in long-distance monitoring can be significantly improved. The precise refraction of the prism 603 and the efficient focusing of the condenser lens 602 complement each other, ensuring that the monitoring data is still accurate and reliable even in a complex environment, providing strong support for the intelligent safety management of the oil depot.

[0029] In this embodiment, the condenser lens 602 is made of a coated zinc selenide lens. By using the coated zinc selenide material to make the condenser lens 602, the light transmittance is improved, the reflection loss is reduced, the optical path design is further optimized, and the high precision and stability of the monitoring data are ensured.

[0030] Embodiment 4, as a further preferred solution of Embodiment 1, an attitude sensor and an RTK positioning module are installed on the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3. The signal output ends of the attitude sensor and the RTK positioning module are connected to the signal input end of the central control system. Through the attitude sensor, the accurate attitude and position information of the passive Fourier transform infrared telemetry analyzer 3 can be obtained in real time. Combining with the high-precision positioning function of the RTK positioning module, the geospatial accuracy of the monitoring data is ensured.
