Once the temperature is lower than its ductile-brittle transition temperature, the toughness of the tank body drops sharply.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] like Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, a threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the detection table 19, and the threaded rod 20 is connected to a horizontal bar 16 through a thread. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal bar 16, and a support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 9. A back plate 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 8, and one side of the back plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protection box 2. A guide tube 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the detection tube 22, and one end of the guide tube 10 passes through the side wall of the protection box 2. An electric control box 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the protection box 2. The electric control box 4 is connected to the temperature sensor 13 and the pressure sensor 21 by electrical signals. A reinforcement piece 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the back plate 15, and one side of the reinforcement piece 18 is snap-connected to the detection tube 22. A nitrogen leak alarm 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the back plate 15, and the nitrogen leak alarm 14 is electrically connected to the electric control box 4. A snap-connecting plate 3 is snap-connected to one side of the protection box 2. A fan 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the protection box 2, and an exhaust pipe 5 is inserted through the top of the protection box 2.

[0031] The threaded connection between the threaded rod 20 and the horizontal bar 16 is used to facilitate the installation and removal of the detection platform 19 on the top of the horizontal bar 16. After the detection platform 19 is removed, the pressure sensor 21 can be repaired. The electric push rod 9 can be used to adjust the use height of the horizontal bar 16, drive the horizontal bar 16 and the detection platform 19 to rise and fall, thereby assisting the bottom of the detection platform 19 to overlap with the detection tube 22, and the sealing tube 23 is sleeved on the outside of the detection tube 22. The guide tube 10 can be used to quickly discharge the detected nitrogen. The detection data of the temperature sensor 13 and the pressure sensor 21 can be quickly obtained through the electric control box 4, and the processed data can be sent to the PLC control cabinet. The reinforcement 18 can be used to support one side of the detection tube 22 to improve the stability of the detection tube 22. The nitrogen leak alarm 14 and the fan 11 can assist in the rapid detection of nitrogen leakage inside the protective box 2. When nitrogen leakage occurs, the valve on the exhaust pipe 5 is opened in time to discharge the gas.

[0032] The use method and working principle of the device: First, a one-way solenoid valve is installed on the exhaust pipe 5 and the guide pipe 10, the liquid nitrogen tank is connected to the vaporizer, and the end of the vaporizer is connected to the intake pipe 6. The liquid nitrogen is converted into nitrogen after being vaporized by the vaporizer. The nitrogen enters the intake pipe 6 and circulates inside the intake pipe 6. The right end of the guide pipe 10 is connected to the buffer tank. The temperature sensor 13 can be used to detect the nitrogen temperature inside the intake pipe 6. The nitrogen enters the detection tube 22 through the intake pipe 6. The pressure is detected by the pressure sensor 21. After the detection is completed, the valve on the guide pipe 10 is opened to discharge the nitrogen inside the detection tube 22. The alarm triggering temperature and pressure are pre-set. Once the pressure exceeds the set value or the temperature is lower than the set value, the electric control box 4 receives the detection results of the temperature sensor 13 and the pressure sensor 21, and sends a signal to the PLC control cabinet in the production line. The PLC control cabinet will automatically start the emergency cut-off valve to urgently cut off the outlet of the liquid nitrogen tank to avoid danger. At the same time, the PLC control box will emit a buzzer and light alarm to remind the operator to take measures;

[0033] The fan 11 can be used to accelerate the air flow inside the protective box 2, so that the gas can quickly contact the nitrogen leak alarm 14, thereby determining whether there is a nitrogen leak inside the protective box 2. When the entire device needs maintenance, the cover 1 is flipped down, and the electric push rod 9 is used to drive the horizontal bar 16 and the detection table 19 to move downward, and the sealing tube 23 is separated from the detection tube 22. Then, the threaded rod 20 is rotated to separate the threaded rod 20 from the horizontal bar 16, and the detection table 19 is removed from above the horizontal bar 16 to inspect the pressure sensor 21.
