DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0024] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "inner" and "outer" are defined with respect to the outline of the corresponding components, unless otherwise stated. The use of the terms "first", "second", and the like is intended to distinguish different components, and does not have sequential and important meanings. In addition, in the following description, the same reference signs in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, unless otherwise explained.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 1, a placement rack 1 and a toggle plate 4 are arranged in a detection device for a vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100. Figures 1 to 5As shown, a detection device for a vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder is provided, comprising a mounting frame 1, a connecting assembly 2 and a sensor 3. The mounting frame 1 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and a plurality of through holes 101 are formed in the mounting frame 1. The connecting assembly 2 is connected to the outer periphery of the mounting frame 1 and is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the through holes 101, and the sensor 3 is arranged in the connecting assembly 2 in one-to-one correspondence. The connecting assembly 2 comprises a base frame 21, an elastic member 22 and a sensor connecting member 23, the base frame 21 is connected to the mounting frame 1, the elastic member 22 abuts between the sensor connecting member 23 and the base frame 21, and the sensor connecting member 23 connects the sensor 3. The base frame 21 is provided with a first limiting structure 210 matched with the sensor connecting member 23, when the sensor connecting member 23 is matched with the first limiting structure 210, the sensor 3 is located outside the mounting frame 1, and when the sensor connecting member 23 is disengaged from the first limiting structure 210, the sensor 3 can abut against the outer periphery of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 through the through hole 101. Here, the elastic member 22 can be a spring or other elastic structure such as a compression rubber member, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the mounting frame 1 can be directly sleeved on the outside of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and the sensors 3 are distributed on the mounting frame 1 through the connecting assembly 2. By rotating or moving the position of the mounting frame 1, the positions of all the sensors 3 relative to the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 can be adjusted. Since the mounting frame 1 can be directly sleeved on the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 and is in close contact with it without the need for additional fixing devices, the space occupied by its body and the installation process is small. The mounting frame 1 can be arranged without the need to disassemble the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of arrangement and thus greatly reduce the arrangement time of the detection device. In addition, due to the arrangement of the sensor connecting member 23 and the first limiting structure 210 on the connecting assembly 2, the two can limit when adjusting the mounting frame 1, so that the sensor 3 is spaced apart from the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100. In this way, when the mounting frame 1 is adjusted, the sensor 3 will not come into contact with the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and after the mounting frame 1 is adjusted, the first limiting structure 210 and the sensor connecting member 23 are disengaged, so that the sensor 3 can abut against the outside of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and the final arrangement of the sensor 3 is completed. In this way, the sensor 3 can be prevented from coming into contact with the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 when the mounting frame 1 is adjusted, so that the coupling agent applied on the end of the sensor 3 is not wasted, and the accuracy of detection of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 can be ensured while the sensor 3 is quickly arranged.

[0027] For the limiting mode between the first limiting structure 210 and the sensor connecting piece 23, the first limiting structure 210 can be a sliding groove mentioned below, one end of the sliding groove is provided with an opening, the sensor connecting piece 23 can include a toggle lever 231 mentioned below which sequentially extends into the sliding groove and the groove, the toggle lever 231 is moved, so that the toggle lever 231 slides out of the sliding groove, at this time, the first limiting structure 210 and the sensor connecting piece 23 are separated, the elastic element 22 releases the elastic force to press the sensor 3 on the surface of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100.

[0028] For example, the base frame 21 and the arrangement frame 1 are magnetically attracted and matched in the following text, the first limiting structure 210 can also include a protrusion, the sensor connecting piece 23 can be provided with a matching groove, when it is needed to separate the first limiting structure 210 and the sensor connecting piece 23, at this time, the base frame 21 can be moved, the protrusion can be moved in the matching groove until it slides out of the matching groove, at this time, the sensor connecting piece 23 and the first limiting structure are separated, the elastic element 22 releases the elastic force to press the sensor 3 on the surface of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100.

[0029] In addition, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The base frame 21 can also be provided with a guide groove 215, one end of the guide groove 215 can be connected at the opening of the sliding groove, and the extension direction of the guide groove 215 and the extension direction of the sliding groove are mutually at an included angle, the angle of the included angle can be a right angle or an acute angle, which is not limited by the present disclosure. Specifically, the extension direction of the guide groove 215 can be the same as the preset direction of the elastic element 22 releasing the elastic force, so that after the toggle lever 231 slides out of the sliding groove, it can be moved along the extension direction of the guide groove 215, to avoid the vibration caused by the elastic element 22 releasing the elastic force from causing the sensor connecting piece 23 to shake, causing the final installation position of the sensor 3 to deviate, to improve the installation accuracy of the sensor 3.

[0030] It should be noted that the sensor 3 can be an acoustic emission sensor, or can be set as a vibration sensor or an infrared sensor according to the detection requirement, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation on this. The diameter of the through hole 101 can also be set to 1.2 to 2 times the diameter of the sensor 3, so as to not only ensure that the sensor 3 can pass through, but also provide a certain fault tolerance space for the installation of the connecting assembly 2 and the sensor 3, and provide a radial compensation space during the movement of the sensor 3 driven by the elastic member 22 releasing the elastic force, so as to ensure that the sensor 3 will not hit the arrangement rack 1 during the process of being attached to the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100. Of course, the diameters of the plurality of through holes 101 can be the same or different, and the diameter of the through hole 101 can also be set to 2.5 times, 3 times, etc. of the diameter of the sensor 3 according to the requirement, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation on this. The edge of the through hole 101 can also be provided with a limiting stop ring 14, which can not only facilitate the positioning of the connecting assembly 2 and the sensor 3 during installation, so as to ensure that the sensor 3 can face the through hole 101, but also when the sensor connecting member 23 cooperates with the first limiting structure 210, the end of the sensor 3 coated with the coupling agent can be located on the inner side of the limiting stop ring 14. In this way, after adjusting the position of the arrangement rack 1, the sensor 3 needs to be in contact with the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, at this time, the sensor connecting member 23 is controlled to be separated from the first limiting structure 210, and the limiting stop ring 14 can limit the sensor 3 in the radial direction, so as to ensure that the sensor 3 will not be offset when the elastic member 22 releases the elastic force to drive the sensor 3 to move to the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the base frame 21 can include a shell 211, an end cover 212 and a fixing member 213, the shell 211 can cover the outside of the through hole 101, and the first limiting structure 210 is arranged on the shell 211, and the sensor 3 is arranged in the shell 211. The end cover 212 is detachably connected to the side of the shell 211 away from the arrangement frame 1, the elastic member 22 is abutted between the end cover 212 and the sensor connecting piece 23, and the fixing member 213 can be connected with the shell 211 and the arrangement frame 1 respectively. Here, the end cover 212 can be the top wall of the shell 211, or the top wall of the shell 211 can be provided with an opening for accommodating the end cover 212. The shell 211 covers the outside of the sensor 3, which can provide a certain protection for the sensor 3, and the detachable structure between the end cover 212 and the shell 211 can facilitate the installation of the elastic member 22 from the side of the end cover 212, thereby reducing the possibility of the sensor 3 being offset when the elastic member 22 releases the elastic force due to the installation offset. In addition, the fixing member 213 can be screwed, clamped or magnetically attracted to the arrangement frame 1, and the present disclosure does not limit this. When the fixing member 213 is detachably connected with the arrangement frame 1, the connecting assembly 2 and the sensor 3 can be selected to be placed outside the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 after being connected to the arrangement frame 1. It can also be connected to the arrangement frame 1 first, and then the arrangement frame 1 with the connecting assembly 2 and the sensor 3 is arranged outside the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and the present disclosure also does not limit this.

[0032] Here, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sensor connecting piece 23 can also be connected with a guide rod 214, one end of the guide rod 214 is connected to the sensor connecting piece 23, the other end can pass through the end cover 212, the elastic member 22 is sleeved outside the guide rod 214, and is abutted between the end cover 212 and the sensor connecting piece 23, so that the stability of the elastic member 22 in extension and contraction can be improved. The two ends of the elastic member 22 can be connected with the end cover 212 and the sensor connecting piece 23, or can be only sleeved on the guide rod 214, and the sensor connecting piece 23 and the end cover 212 can also be formed with a retaining edge 232 to connect or radially limit the end of the elastic member 22, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0033] As for the connection mode of the sensor connecting piece 23 and the sensor 3, since the sensor 3 itself is made of metal materials such as iron and steel, one side of the sensor connecting piece 23 close to the arrangement frame 1 can be provided with a second magnetic member 24, which can be a magnet, and can attract the sensor 3 to ensure the fixed connection of the sensor connecting piece 23 and the sensor 3. Of course, the sensor connecting piece 23 and the sensor 3 can also be fixed by screwing or clamping, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0034] For the connection mode between the fixing member 213 and the arrangement rack 1, the fixing member 213 can be magnetically attracted to the arrangement rack 1. The magnetic attraction can complete the positioning and fixing of the connecting assembly without the help of additional tools, greatly shortening the installation time of the detection device and improving the assembly efficiency and disassembly flexibility between the connecting assembly 2 and the arrangement rack 1, that is, the sensor 3 can be quickly installed. At the same time, only a small separation force needs to be applied to separate the connecting assembly 2 from the arrangement rack 1, so as to adjust the position of the connecting assembly 2 or disassemble and store the whole in time according to the detection requirements, improving the flexibility and operation convenience of the detection device. The design of magnetic attraction can also adapt to the slight concave-convex or arc of the surface of the arrangement rack 1, ensuring the close fit between the connecting assembly 2 and the arrangement rack 1, avoiding the connection loosening caused by the gap. In addition, the magnetic connection does not need to open complex connection holes on the arrangement rack 1 or the connecting assembly 2, reducing the damage to the structural strength of the two, ensuring the structural stability of the whole device, and the non-rigid contact connection mode can also effectively weaken the mechanical impact and friction loss of the sensor 3 during installation and disassembly, prolonging the service life of the sensor 3 and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0035] It should be noted that the elastic member 22 can form a downward pressure of 0.01MPa-0.1MPa on the sensor 3, so that when the sensor connecting member 23 and the first limiting structure 210 are separated, the sensor 3 can be in abutment with the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100 to be detected. At the same time, when the force is within the range, the reaction force of the elastic member 22 on the base frame 21 is also much smaller than the magnetic force between the fixing member 213 and the arrangement rack 1, so that it does not affect the magnetic attraction connection between the connecting assembly 2 and the arrangement rack 1.

[0036] Further, the arrangement rack 1 can be a magnetic conductive material, such as Figure 3 As shown, the number of fixing members 213 can be two, and arranged on both sides of the sensor 3. The fixing member 213 includes a magnetic conductive member 2131 and a first magnetic force member 2132, the first magnetic force member 2132 is adsorbed on the magnetic conductive member 2131, the magnetic conductive member 2131 is fixedly connected with the shell 211, and one end of the magnetic conductive member 2131 away from the end cover 212 protrudes from the shell 211 and contacts with the arrangement rack 1. The two symmetrically arranged fixing members 213 with magnetism can effectively improve the connection stability of the connecting assembly 2, so that the connecting assembly 2 receives more uniform force, avoiding the inclination or loosening of the connecting assembly 2 caused by unilateral force, ensuring the fitting precision of the sensor 3 and the surface of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen cylinder 100, and improving the detection precision of the sensor 3.

[0037] In addition, the fixed part 213 is split into a magnetic conducting part 2131 and a first magnetic force part 2132, which can also protect the first magnetic force part 2132 from being damaged by friction with the arrangement rack 1 or environmental corrosion, thereby prolonging the service life of the first magnetic force part 2132. Here, the first magnetic force part 2132 can be a magnet, and the magnetic conducting part 2131 can be iron or a high-permeability carbon steel material, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0038] In addition, the fixed part 213 is split into a magnetic conducting part 2131 and a first magnetic force part 2132, which can also protect the first magnetic force part 2132 from being damaged by friction with the arrangement rack 1 or environmental corrosion, thereby prolonging the service life of the first magnetic force part 2132. Here, the first magnetic force part 2132 can be a magnet, and the magnetic conducting part 2131 can be iron or a high-permeability carbon steel material, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0039] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The magnetic conducting part 2131 can include at least two oppositely arranged side walls, and the first magnetic force part 2132 is clamped between the two side walls, and one end of the two side walls protrudes from the shell 211. In this way, the two side walls of the magnetic conducting part 2131 stand on the arrangement rack 1, and compared with the structure in which a single side wall stands on the arrangement rack 1, the magnetic attraction connection between the two side walls of the magnetic conducting part 2131 and the arrangement rack 1 can further improve the stability of the magnetic attraction connection between the connection assembly 2 and the arrangement rack 1. The fixed part 213 also includes a magnetic force part fixing sheet 2133 arranged between the two side walls and located on the side of the first magnetic force part 2132 close to the arrangement rack 1. The two ends of the magnetic force part fixing sheet 2133 in the length direction protrude from the magnetic conducting part 2131 and are connected with the shell 211. The magnetic force part fixing sheet 2133 can limit the first magnetic force part 2132 to prevent the first magnetic force part 2132 from sliding out of the magnetic conducting part 2131 due to deviation, thereby avoiding the connection assembly 2 from falling off due to the first magnetic force part 2132 sliding out, and further ensuring the connection stability.

[0040] Here, for the clamping mode between the first magnetic force piece 2132 and the magnetic conducting piece 2131, the magnetic conducting piece 2131 can only include two side walls, and the two side walls can be screwed with the shell 211, so that the bolts can pass through the shell 211 and the two side walls in turn, and the other side is screwed with a nut. By tightening the nut, the distance between the two side walls is continuously reduced until the two side walls clamp the first magnetic force piece 2132 therein. The magnetic conducting piece 2131 itself can also have elasticity to clamp the first magnetic force piece 2132. Here, the magnetic conducting piece 2131 can be V-shaped, U-shaped, H-shaped, etc., which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the arrangement frame 1 can include a plurality of first and second arrangement sections connected end to end, and the arrangement sections can include two first arrangement sections 11 and at least one second arrangement section 12, wherein the second arrangement section 12 is hinged with the adjacent arrangement section, and the hinge point can be provided with a hinge shaft 52. The two first arrangement sections 11 are connected by an openable and closable adjusting piece 13, and the adjusting piece 13 can drive the two first arrangement sections 11 to move closer to or away from each other. Here, the number of second arrangement sections 12 can be set according to actual needs, which can be one section or multiple sections hinged with each other, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0042] The arrangement frame 1 is a multi-section structure, so that when the vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100 is in a narrow space or is interfered by other components, and thus the arrangement frame 1 cannot be directly sleeved on the vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100, the adjusting piece 13 can be opened to disconnect the connection between the two first arrangement sections 11, so that the arrangement frame 1 can be changed from a ring shape into a strip shape composed of multiple arrangement sections. At this time, the strip-shaped arrangement frame can be inserted into the narrow space, and then the adjusting piece 13 is buckled to fix the arrangement frame 1, so that the arrangement frame 1 restores the ring shape and is fixed outside the vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100, thereby improving the installation adaptability of the detection device in a complex environment, and thus the installation of the sensor 3 is more convenient. The adjusting piece 13 can also adjust the diameter of the arrangement frame 1 by adjusting the distance between the two first arrangement sections 11, so as to adapt to vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottles 100 of different sizes, or adapt to the positions of the unified vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100, whether in the middle of the bottle body or in the area close to the two ends, thereby improving the installation firmness of the arrangement frame 1 when installed in different sizes or different positions of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100, and improving the universality and practicality of the detection device. In this way, it is not necessary to design a special arrangement frame 1 for vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottles 100 of different sizes, and the firmness of the arrangement frame 1 arranged on different vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottles 100 can also be ensured.

At this time, the first limiting structure 210 is separated from the sensor connecting piece 23, and the elastic piece 22 releases the elastic force to press the sensor 3 on the surface of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen bottle 100.

Here, the connecting member 51 can be a rivet or a fastener. In addition, when the arrangement frame 1 is provided in multiple segments, the arc-shaped hole 102 can also provide displacement compensation when adjusting the diameter of the arrangement frame 1.

The structure that the dial plate 4 is provided in multiple dial segments 41 can facilitate the modular assembly of the dial plate 4. The moving shaft 422 can relatively displace along the extension direction of the strip-shaped limiting hole 411, so that the strip-shaped limiting hole 411 and the moving shaft 422 are arranged to hinge the plurality of dial segments 41, and also can displace a certain displacement compensation when the arrangement frame 1 is adjusted. For example, when the arrangement frame 1 is provided in multiple segments, the dial segment 41 can also be correspondingly arranged with the arrangement segment, and at this time the strip-shaped limiting hole 411 can provide a certain displacement space, and also can provide a certain displacement compensation when the adjusting member 13 adjusts the diameter of the arrangement frame 1.
