The single chip computer 12 is electrically connected to the alarm light 5, the buzzer 4, the exhaust fan 6, the relay 13, the power supply 11, the WiFi module 14, and the methane sensor 2 respectively; the relay 13 is electrically connected to the cut-off valve 3 and the DC power conversion module 20 respectively; the power supply 11 is electrically connected to the DC power conversion module 20; and the cut-off valve 3 is installed on the natural gas pipeline.

[0026] Through signal transmission and control between methane sensor 2, single chip microcomputer 12, and buzzer 4. When methane sensor 2 identifies the first and second level alarm concentrations, buzzer 4 will emit a first and second level sound to alarm, and indoor residents and surrounding neighbors will preliminarily determine the leakage level based on the different sounds, so as to take countermeasures or escape. Through signal transmission and control between methane sensor 2, single chip microcomputer 12, and alarm light 5. When methane sensor 2 identifies the first and second level alarm concentrations, alarm light 5 will flash lights of different colors to alarm, and indoor owners and outdoor personnel at night can judge the indoor leakage situation based on the alarm color, so as to take countermeasures or escape. Through signal transmission and control between methane sensor 2, single chip microcomputer 12, and WiFi module 14. When methane sensor 2 identifies the first and second level alarm concentrations, WiFi module 14 will send a first and second level alarm SMS to the owner's mobile phone. Even if the owner is not at home, he can receive information about gas leakage at home in the first time, and can take emergency measures according to different levels. Through signal transmission and control between methane sensor 2, single chip microcomputer 12, and cut-off valve 3. When the methane concentration exceeds the warning value, the shut-off valve 3 will be cut off immediately and can only be opened manually. If the leakage source is behind the shut-off valve, the leakage source will be cut off, thereby effectively preventing the indoor gas concentration from continuing to increase. When it is manually confirmed that the leakage source has been repaired and the room is safe, the shut-off valve is manually opened to avoid secondary leakage.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting assembly includes an elastic rubber foot 19, the upper part of which is fixedly connected to a plug strip 16, the upper two sides of which are rotatably connected to limit members 18, and the top of the limit member 18 is fixedly connected to a cross handle 17.

The cross handle 17 is then rotated to drive the limiting member 18 to move to the top of the mounting block 9, and the installation of the exhaust fan 6 is completed. Conversely, the cross handle 17 is rotated to move the limiting member 18 out from the top of the mounting block 9, and then the support base 7 is pulled upward to complete the disassembly of the exhaust fan 6. The ability to quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the exhaust fan 6 reduces the time required for the entire installation or disassembly process, so that the exhaust fan can be quickly put into use or removed.

Conversely, rotate the cross handle 17 to move the limiter 18 out from the top of the mounting block 9, and then pull the support seat 7 upward to complete the disassembly of the exhaust fan 6. The ability to quickly complete the installation and disassembly of the exhaust fan 6 reduces the time required for the entire installation or disassembly process, so that the exhaust fan can be quickly put into use or removed. When indoor natural gas leaks, when the methane sensor 2 detects the first or second level alarm concentration, the single-chip microcomputer 12 will control the buzzer 4 to emit a sound of the corresponding level and the alarm light 5 to flash different colors, reminding indoor and outdoor personnel to promptly identify the leakage level and take measures. At the same time, the WiFi module 14 sends an alarm SMS to the owner to ensure that the leakage situation can be quickly known even if not on site. In addition, once the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the shut-off valve will automatically close to cut off the gas source to prevent the situation from escalating. The exhaust fan 6 adjusts the speed according to the detected methane concentration to exhaust efficiently, preventing the indoor gas concentration from reaching the explosion limit, greatly enhancing residential safety and reducing the risk caused by gas leakage.
