Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas meters, in particular to a gas meter fault alarm device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A gas meter is a measuring device used to measure the amount of gas delivered by a pipeline. It is crucial for protecting the rights and interests of gas users, promoting the management of the gas industry, and measuring and settling accounts.

[0003] After searching, it is found that a "gas meter gas leakage protection device" is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201921071643.X. The patent mainly monitors the gas meter through the gas monitor. When the gas meter leaks, the gas monitor detects and sends a signal to the signal receiver and the alarm. The alarm sends an alarm, and the signal receiver drives the motor through the PLC controller, so that the rotating plate can be sealed and attached to the sealing pad, thereby realizing the sealing of the valve body and blocking the flow of gas, thereby playing a protective role. The rotating rod is provided to facilitate the rotation of the rotating plate.

[0004] (1) The alarm device detects through electronic equipment, but the gas meter is usually installed in the kitchen, basement and other environmental areas. Electronic equipment such as sensors are exposed to air for a long time and are easily covered or attached by pollutants such as oil smoke, dust and water vapor. Pollutants can block the detection probe or sensitive elements of the sensor, reducing its sensitivity to gas concentration, smoke and other signals, and failing to accurately capture real leakage information. Even missing detection problems may occur, especially in kitchens and other scenarios, where cooking-generated oil smoke and steam can be mistaken by the sensor as gas leakage. The above misjudgment not only interferes with normal life or production order, but also may reduce user trust in the detection system due to frequent false alarms, and even ignore real leakage warnings. Therefore, a mechanical detection device is urgently needed, which does not rely on electronic sensitive elements and can directly respond to changes caused by leakage through mechanical structures (such as pressure triggering), effectively avoiding the precision decline problem caused by dust and oil smoke covering the electronic sensor.

[0005] (2) The alarm device relies on a single valve to close in sequence, which has significant safety hazards: as a mechanical component, the valve plate (equivalent to the rotating plate) is prone to damage, deformation, sealing surface failure and other problems due to medium erosion, corrosion, mechanical wear or accidental impact during long-term use. When the valve plate is damaged, even if the valve is in the closed state, gas may still leak through the damaged part or sealing gap of the valve plate, and effective secondary sealing cannot be achieved. Therefore, a technical solution is urgently needed to solve the existing single valve closure defects and achieve double safety closure to improve the reliability and safety of gas pipeline closure.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances, and the embodiments thereof will be described below according to the overall structure of the present application.

[0039] A gas meter fault alarm device, comprising: a gas meter 11, a main pipe 12, a branch pipe 13, a first gas inlet pipe 14, a second gas inlet pipe 17, an exhaust pipe 15, the main pipe 12 and the branch pipe 13 are integrally formed, the branch pipe 13 is integrally formed with a total valve 16, the first gas inlet pipe 14 and the exhaust pipe 15 are installed at both ends of the top of the gas meter 11, a sealing structure 1 is arranged outside the connection between the branch pipe 13 and the second gas inlet pipe 17, the sealing structure 1 comprises a hollow plate 101 integrally formed at one end of the first gas inlet pipe 14, one end of the hollow plate 101 is integrally formed with a first gas collecting box 102 and the second gas inlet pipe 17, the branch pipe 13 is slidably connected with a second gas collecting box 103, one end of the first gas collecting box 102 is provided with a slot 104, the inside of the slot 104 is provided with a flexible air bag, one end of the second gas collecting box 103 is fixed with a plug 105 matched with the slot 104.

[0040] The working principle is as follows: the second gas inlet pipe 17 is butt jointed with the branch pipe 13, after butt jointing, the second gas collecting box 103 is slid to make the plug 105 inserted into the inside of the slot 104, then the plug 105 compresses the flexible air bag in the slot 104 to deform and fill the gap at the connection, which is beneficial to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the first gas collecting box 102 and the second gas collecting box 103.

[0041] It needs to be explained that the figure shows only the installation of mechanical alarm structure 2 in the position of branch pipe 13 and two-stage air inlet pipe 17. In actual use, mechanical alarm structure 2 can also be installed in the position of exhaust pipe 15. At this time, first gas collecting box 102 and second gas collecting box 103 wrap the connection between exhaust pipe 15 and gas stove hose and gas water heater hose.

[0042] Further, the front of the sealing structure 1 is provided with a mechanical alarm structure 2, which includes a hollow box 201 fixed on the front of the first gas collecting box 102. The hollow box 201 is integrally connected with a left gas chamber 202 and a right gas chamber 203, and a cavity 204. A first magnet 205 is slidably connected between the left gas chamber 202 and the right gas chamber 203. A micro-force spring 206 is fixed to the right gas chamber 203, and one end of the micro-force spring 206 is fixedly connected with the first magnet 205. A gas port 207 is penetratingly arranged between the first gas collecting box 102 and the left gas chamber 202. The mechanical alarm structure 2 further includes a wedge-shaped iron block 208 slidably connected to the top of the cavity 204. The wedge-shaped iron block 208 is magnetically attracted by the first magnet 205. The bottom of the cavity 204 is slidably connected with a first rod 209, a second rod 210 and a third rod 211 through a through slot. The first rod 209, the second rod 210 and the third rod 211 are externally provided with a rectangular spring 212.

[0043] The working principle is as follows: in the initial state, the gas pressures in the left gas chamber 202 and the right gas chamber 203 are the same. When gas leakage occurs at the connection, the leaked gas enters the first gas collecting box 102 and the second gas collecting box 103, and then reaches the inside of the left gas chamber 202 through the gas port 207. At this time, the gas pressure in the left gas chamber 202 increases on the basis of the initial equilibrium. Then the first magnet 205 moves to the right gas chamber 203 under the action of the pressure difference between left and right, and compresses the micro-force spring 206. The left gas chamber 202 is provided with a one-way exhaust valve. When the gas pressure in the left gas chamber 202 reaches the maximum critical point (the maximum critical point is that the third rod 211 descends, and the primary sealing assembly 6 and the secondary sealing assembly 7 are completed after sealing), the one-way exhaust valve is automatically opened to release pressure by gas pressure. The micro-force spring 206 resets with the first magnet 205 after pressure relief.

[0044] After magnet 205 moves, it moves wedge-shaped iron block 208 under magnetic attraction. Magnet 205 is a strong magnet, which has a good attraction effect on wedge-shaped iron block 208 and will not fall off. When wedge-shaped iron block 208 moves, it presses rod 209 to extend from the bottom of hollow box 201. At this time, rectangular spring 212 is compressed. The purpose of rectangular spring 212 is to facilitate the reset of rod 209, rod 210, and rod 211. Rod 209 is designed to be entirely red, so when the bottom of rod 209 extends, red will be exposed at the bottom of hollow box 201. When the cabinet door is opened to take out items, the red rod can be seen. Once the red rod is seen, it indicates that a gas leak has occurred, but in this case, it means that the gas leak is not serious. The above operation is a low-level gas leak alarm reminder.

[0045] It should be noted that the bottom of poles 209, 210, and 211 is equipped with traction ropes (not shown in the figure), and the bottom of the traction ropes is located at the bottom of the hollow box 201. After a gas leak occurs, workers need to repair it. After the repair is completed, the workers pull the three traction ropes to lower the three poles further. At this time, the highest point of the three poles is lower than the lowest point of the wedge-shaped iron block 208 to prevent obstruction during reset. Therefore, after the repair is completed and the gas pressure is restored to balance, magnet 205 and wedge-shaped iron block 208 can be reset by the micro-force spring 206.

[0046] Next, the hollow box 201 is provided with three sets of limiting components 3, which correspond to rod 1 209, rod 210 and rod 3 211 respectively. Each limiting component 3 includes a slot 301 on the outside of rod 1 209, rod 210 and rod 3 211. The bottom of the hollow box 201 is provided with a groove 302. A return spring 303 is fixed inside the groove 302 and a locking block 304 is slidably connected thereto. One end of the return spring 303 is fixedly connected to the locking block 304. In the initial state, the locking block 304 is pressed against the return spring 303, so that the return spring 303 is in a compressed state.

[0047] The working principle is as follows: When rod 209, rod 210, or rod 211 descends, the slot 301 in the hollow area of ​​the rod comes to the position of the locking block 304. Then, the compressed return spring 303 returns to its original position, taking the locking block 304 into the slot 301, thereby fixing the three rods and preventing them from resetting arbitrarily after descending, which would affect the accuracy of subsequent alarms. After the leak repair is completed, the worker pushes the locking block 304 with his finger, causing the locking block 304 to come out of the slot 301. Then, the three rods will be reset by the rectangular spring 212 to start the next round of leak alarm.

[0048] In addition, the mechanical alarm structure 2 is linked with a visual reminder component 4, the visual reminder component 4 comprises a hollow box 201 bottom fixed placement frame 401, the bottom of the second rod 210 is fixed with a needle 402, and the needle 402 is located in the inside of the placement frame 401, the placement frame 401 is provided with a backboard that can be opened, the inside of the placement frame 401 is placed with a water bag 403, the bottom of the placement frame 401 is placed with red powder, and the bottom of the placement frame 401 is connected with a flexible drain pipe 404.

[0049] The working principle is that when the leakage amount increases, the air pressure in the left chamber 202 increases, then pushes the first magnet 205 and the wedge-shaped iron block 208 to further move, at this time, the wedge-shaped iron block 208 presses the second rod 210 to make it descend, when the second rod 210 descends, the needle 402 descends, then the needle 402 bursts the water bag 403, then the internal water and the red powder at the bottom of the placement frame 401 combine into red water, then the red water flows out along the drain pipe 404 and drops to the ground, when the ground has red water, it means that it is in a moderate leakage state, at this time, the alarm is a moderate alarm reminder, the back of the placement frame 401 can be opened, which is convenient for replacing the new water bag 403.

[0050] In addition, one side of the hollow box 201 is provided with an opening 213, and three sets of limiting components 3 are located at the top of the opening 213, the mechanical alarm structure 2 is linked with a sound reminder component 5, the sound reminder component 5 comprises two copper plates 501 installed inside the opening 213, the two copper plates 501 are respectively connected with a wire 502 and a power line 503, a micro low-speed motor 504 is installed at the top of the second gas collecting box 103, one end of the wire 502 is connected with the micro low-speed motor 504, a rotating shaft 506 is rotatably connected with a knocking block 507 through a first support plate 505 at the top of the branch pipe 13, one end of the rotating shaft 506 is fixedly connected with the output end of the micro low-speed motor 504, the knocking block 507 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 506, and a bell 508 is installed at the top of the first support plate 505.

[0051] The working principle is that as the leakage amount continues to increase, the pressure difference further increases, then the first magnet 205 and the wedge-shaped iron block 208 continue to move to press the third rod 211, the third rod 211 is made of copper, when the third rod 211 descends, it contacts with the two copper plates 501 to make the circuit connected, then the micro low-speed motor 504 is electrified to rotate the rotating shaft 506 and the knocking block 507, and the knocking block 507 strikes the bell 508 to realize sound alarm prompt, this alarm is a high alarm after the leakage amount increases, which can also be said to be a serious alarm in a serious situation, and then according to the leakage degree of the gas, low, medium and high triple alarms are realized, so as to remind people the seriousness of the gas leakage, and then take different repair measures under different alarm levels.

[0052] Exemplary, the mechanical alarm structure 2 is linked with a primary closed assembly 6 and a secondary closed assembly 7, the primary closed assembly 6 includes a valve handle 601 rotating on top of a total valve 16, the top of the valve handle 601 is fixed with a worm wheel 602, the outside of the total valve 16 is rotationally connected with a worm 604 through a second support plate 603, and the worm 604 is engaged with the worm wheel 602, the primary closed assembly 6 further includes a first notch 605 arranged at one end of a rotating shaft 506, one end of the worm 604 is arranged with a second notch 606, the inside of the first notch 605 is fixed with a second magnet 607, the inside of the second notch 606 is slidingly connected with a square magnetic block 608, one end of the square magnetic block 608 is initially located inside the first notch 605, the second support plate 603 is installed with a press switch 609, the valve handle 601 is fixed with a pressing block 610, the press switch 609 is connected with the second magnet 607 through another hidden wire 502 to form a closed loop.

[0053] The working principle is that when the rotating shaft 506 rotates, the worm 604 rotates at a low speed for 90 degrees, and then the valve handle 601 rotates for 90 degrees to close the total valve 16, in the process of rotation, the pressing block 610 outside the valve handle 601 rotates to the front of the press switch 609 and presses the press switch 609 to open, then the second magnet 607 is energized to generate strong magnetism, the second magnet 607 (wrapped with an aluminum layer outside to improve the strength of the second magnet 607 and prevent it from breaking when rotating with the worm 604) and the square magnetic block 608 are arranged with the same polarity, then under the action of magnetic repulsion, the square magnetic block 608 retreats in the first notch 605 and completely leaves, at this time the worm 604 is disconnected with the rotating shaft 506, preventing the rotating shaft 506 from continuing to rotate forcibly with the worm 604 after the total valve 16 is closed (after the total valve 16 is closed, the valve handle 601 will not be rotated in the same direction), causing damage to the micro low-speed motor 504 and the total valve 16, through closing the total valve 16 to achieve the linkage closing of the total valve 16 under high alarm, especially in the kitchen or other scenarios without people, it is more suitable for this design.

[0054] In addition, the secondary closing assembly 7 comprises an air cavity 701 provided with a hollow box 201, the bottom of the third rod 211 is fixed with a cutter 710, the inner wall of the air cavity 701 is slidably connected with a piston 702, the bottom of the air cavity 701 is fixed with an elastic spring 703, the top end of the elastic spring 703 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the piston 702, the top of the piston 702 is fixed with a pull rope 704, the piston 702 in the initial state is pulled to the top of the air cavity 701 by the pull rope 704, one end of the pull rope 704 is fixed, and the elastic spring 703 is in the elongated state, the inside of the hollow plate 101 is fixed with a supporting frame 705, the supporting frame 705 is provided with a limiting groove 706, the limiting groove 706 is slidably provided with a high-temperature-resistant and inflatable sealing air cushion 707, the bottom of the air cavity 701 is connected with an air path pipe 708, one end of the air path pipe 708 is connected with the sealing air cushion 707, the supporting frame 705 is fixed with a limiting strip 709, the limiting strip 709 is provided with a ventilation groove, and the limiting strip 709 is symmetrically arranged, and the ventilation groove facilitates the flow of gas.

[0055] The working principle is that when the third rod 211 descends, the circuit is not only connected, but also the bottom cutter 710 cuts the pull rope 704, after the pull rope 704 is cut, the pulling force of the piston 702 and the elastic spring 703 disappears, at this time, the elastic spring 703 in the initial state is reset and descends with the piston 702, the piston 702 descends and extrudes the gas in the air cavity 701, then the gas comes to the inside of the sealing air cushion 707 (the sealing air cushion 707 is designed to be high-temperature-resistant, and the temperature is much higher than that of the gas) through the air path pipe 708, then the sealing air cushion 707 inflates and expands along the limiting groove 706 and the limiting strip 709, and through the limiting design, it can only move along the length direction to prevent it from expanding to both sides, then the expanded sealing air cushion 707 closes the supporting frame 705 to realize secondary closing, and the gas pressed by the reset piston 702 is just enough to inflate the sealing air cushion 707 to close the supporting frame 705, preventing the gas from being too large to harm the sealing air cushion 707.
