Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas monitoring, and more particularly to a gas monitoring device for smart utility tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] Public utility tunnels serve as the carriers for the supply of public utilities and the transportation of production materials in chemical industrial parks. They connect upstream, midstream, and downstream production stages, transporting public media and production materials to various production units. Public utility tunnels are also known as the main arteries of production in chemical industrial parks, playing a crucial role in the production process.
[0003] In addition to the need to monitor harmful gases within utility tunnels, monitoring equipment is typically fixed at multiple locations at equal intervals within the smart utility tunnel. However, these devices generally only monitor the concentration of harmful gases in the air, limiting their monitoring range. Furthermore, the harsh environment of the tunnel, including high temperatures, noise, dust, and confined spaces, not only hinders personnel inspections but also easily affects the normal operation of the gas monitoring equipment. This impacts the monitoring effectiveness and creates safety hazards. Therefore, this invention designs a gas monitoring device for smart utility tunnels. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose a gas monitoring device for smart utility tunnels.
[0005] A gas monitoring device for smart utility tunnels, comprising:
[0006] Pipe rack support, wherein pipes are installed on the pipe rack;
[0007] Monitoring components, the monitoring components include:
[0008] Gas monitor;
[0009] A movable component that moves the gas monitor along the pipeline axis;
[0010] A rotating assembly that causes the gas monitor to rotate circumferentially along the pipeline; the moving assembly and the rotating assembly cooperate to move the gas monitor along a spiral direction on the outside of the pipeline.
[0011] A guiding component that guides the movement direction of the moving component.
[0012] In the aforementioned intelligent utility tunnel gas monitoring equipment, the mobile component includes a toothed plate and a housing fixed on the utility tunnel support. The toothed plate is meshed with a gear one, which is connected to the housing. The gear one is rotatably connected to the housing via a rotating shaft one. The rotating shaft one is connected to a helical gear one, which is connected to a rotating shaft two via a helical gear two. The rotating shaft two is connected to a drive motor, which is mounted on the outer wall of the housing.
[0013] In the aforementioned intelligent utility tunnel gas monitoring equipment, the rotating assembly includes a fixed sleeve connected to the top of the housing and rotatably connected to a gear ring. The gas monitor is fixed inside the gear ring. The gear ring meshes with a second gear. The second gear is coaxially connected to a third gear, which is smaller in size than the second gear. The second and third gears are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing via a rotating shaft. The third gear meshes with a fourth gear, which is connected to the rotating shaft.
[0014] In the aforementioned gas monitoring equipment for intelligent utility tunnels, the guiding component includes two sliders connected to the bottom of the housing. A slide rail is provided between the two sliders. The slide rail is configured with an "I" shaped structure and is fixedly installed on the utility tunnel support. A connecting groove is provided on the portion of the two sliders that is close to each other. Each connecting groove is connected to multiple rollers through multiple rotating shafts. Each roller abuts against the middle of the slide rail. The ends of the multiple rollers away from the slide rail are connected to a common abutment plate. The abutment plate is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove through an elastic component.
[0015] In the aforementioned gas monitoring equipment for intelligent utility tunnels, there are two fixed sleeves, each consisting of two detachable half-sleeves. The two half-sleeves together form a complete ring structure. Each half-sleeve has a connecting plate fixedly connected to both sides. The two connecting plates on the same side abut against each other and are fixed to each other by fixing bolts. The toothed ring consists of two detachable half-toothed rings. The two fixed sleeves clamp the toothed ring in the middle. An annular groove is opened on each side of the toothed ring. Each annular groove is connected to an annular block composed of two half-ring structures. Each half-ring structure is fixed to one half-sleeve. Each fixed sleeve is connected to the chassis through two arc-shaped plates on both sides.
[0016] In the aforementioned smart utility tunnel gas monitoring equipment, the utility tunnel support is configured as a square frame structure with the pipe located inside it.
[0017] In the aforementioned smart utility tunnel gas monitoring equipment, the utility tunnel support is configured as a square frame structure with the pipe located inside it.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:
[0019] 1. This invention, by setting a moving component and a rotating component in the pipe gallery, enables the gas monitor to move along a spiral direction on the outside of the pipe. The advantage of this is that it can effectively monitor the gas in various parts of the pipe gallery. Compared with using monitoring equipment in a fixed state, it can achieve better monitoring results and improve safety.
[0020] 2. This solution includes a guide component. The movement direction of the gas monitor is adjusted by the contact between two rollers and the middle of the track. This has the advantage that when the pipeline has a bend, the moving component can conform to the movement trajectory of the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the gas monitor is always placed inside the gear ring, which can effectively avoid interference from external dust and thus improve the accuracy of monitoring.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] Reference Figure 1-6A gas monitoring device for smart utility tunnels, comprising:
[0029] Pipe rack support 1, pipe rack support 1 is equipped with pipe 2 through pipe rack, pipe rack support 1 is set as a square frame structure and pipe 2 is located inside it;
[0030] Monitoring components, including:
[0031] Gas monitor 3;
[0032] The moving component 4 that moves the gas monitor 3 along the axial direction of the pipe 2;
[0033] The rotating component 5, which makes the gas monitor 3 rotate circumferentially along the pipe 2, and the moving component 4 cooperate with the rotating component 5 to make the gas monitor 3 move along a spiral direction on the outside of the pipe 2.
[0034] Guide component 6 guides the movement direction of moving component 4.
[0035] The moving component 4 includes a toothed plate 41 and a housing 42 fixed on the pipe rack support 1. The toothed plate 41 has a toothed portion that meshes with gear 43. The shape of the toothed plate 41 is set to be the same as the trajectory of the pipe 2. That is, when the pipe 2 has a bending angle, the toothed portion in the toothed plate 41 will be adaptively adjusted to ensure that gear 43 remains in a meshed state when it revolves at a certain angle. Gear 43 is meshed with the toothed plate 41 and connected to the gear 43. Gear 43 is connected to the housing 42 and is rotatably connected to the housing 42 through a rotating shaft 44. Helical gear 45 is connected to the rotating shaft 44 and helical gear 45 is connected to a rotating shaft 47 through a helical gear 46. A drive motor 48 is connected to the rotating shaft 47 and the drive motor 48 is mounted on the outer wall of the housing 42.
[0036] The rotating assembly includes a fixed sleeve 51, which is connected to the top of the housing 42 and rotatably connected to a gear ring 52. The gas monitor 3 is fixed inside the gear ring 52. The gear ring 52 meshes with a second gear 53. The second gear 53 is coaxially connected to a third gear 54, which is smaller than the second gear 53. The second gear 53 and the third gear 54 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 42 via a rotating shaft 55. The third gear 54 meshes with a fourth gear 56, which is connected to a rotating shaft 47. There are two fixed sleeves 51, each consisting of two detachable half-sleeves 511. The two half-sleeves 511 together form a complete ring structure. Each half-sleeve 511 is fixedly connected to two connecting rods on both sides. Plate 512, two connecting plates 512 located on the same side abut each other and are fixed to each other by fixing bolts 513. Gear ring 52 is composed of two detachable half gear rings 521. Two fixing sleeves 51 clamp gear ring 52 in the middle. An annular groove 57 is opened on each side of gear ring 52. The cross-section of the annular groove 57 is set as a "T" shaped structure. An annular block 58 composed of two half ring structures is connected in each annular groove 57. Each half ring structure is fixed on a half sleeve 511. Each fixing sleeve 51 is connected to the casing 42 through two arc plates 59 on both sides. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of rotating component 5, so that fixing sleeve 51 and gear ring 52 can be separated from pipe 2.
[0037] The guide assembly 6 includes two sliders 61 connected to the bottom of the housing 42. A slide rail 62 is provided between the two sliders 61. The slide rail 62 is designed with an "I" shape and is fixedly installed on the pipe rack support 1. A connecting groove 63 is provided on the part of the two sliders 61 that is close to each other. Multiple rollers 65 are connected to each connecting groove 63 through multiple rotating shafts 64. Each roller 65 abuts against the middle of the slide rail 62. The ends of the multiple rollers 65 away from the slide rail 62 are connected to a common abutment plate 66. The abutment plate 66 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 63 through an elastic component. The abutment plate 66 can abut against the multiple rollers 65, making them fit more tightly against the middle of the slide rail 62. This can improve the stability of the device when moving and also make it easier for the device to meet the rotation space requirements of the pipe bending housing 42.
[0038] In use, the main design concept of this invention is to add a toothed plate 41 and a slide rail 62 to the pipe gallery support on the pipe 2, and set the trajectory of the slide rail 62 to be the same as the central axis of the pipe 2. In this way, under the operation of the moving component 4, the housing 42 and the fixed sleeve 51 can move along the trajectory of the pipe 2 between the two installation points. For the material conveying pipe 2, different moving trajectories of mobile monitoring devices are set at different installation points. The advantage of this is that the working range of the gas monitoring device in the fixed state is a circle with a certain diameter. However, such a working range is not suitable for the public pipe gallery that runs through the upstream, midstream and downstream, which requires a large number of fixed monitoring devices to cover the long strip area, which will waste resources. At the same time, the blind spots and adverse factors in the corridor environment will also restrict the use effect of the fixed monitoring devices.
[0039] In use, this invention constrains the movement trajectory of the monitoring device by setting the moving component 4, ensuring it conforms to the specifications and direction of the pipeline 2. Furthermore, periodic movement improves gas monitoring accuracy, making it more sensitive to changes in harmful gas concentrations. Simultaneously, the rotating component 5 allows the gas monitor 3 to move along a spiral direction, further enhancing the accuracy of gas monitoring and facilitating its use. Additionally, this application includes a guide component 6, which abuts against the center of the slide rail 62 via multiple rollers 65 on both sides, and is equipped with a stop plate 66 and an elastic component. This ensures that when the pipeline 2 forms an angle, the housing 42 and the fixed sleeve 51 have sufficient rotation space.

Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not exhaustive. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
