Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring instruments, in particular to an industrial gas cabinet safe operation early warning system. Background Art

[0002] Steel enterprises can effectively recycle and release gas by setting up gas holders, which can fully and reasonably use the by-product gas within the enterprise and reduce the energy consumption of the steel plant. Secondly, when the gas source is interrupted, it can maintain a stable pipeline pressure to ensure safe production. In order to ensure the safe, stable and efficient operation of the gas holder, the height of the gas holder is monitored in real time, and the gas holder position is controlled by opening and closing the inlet and outlet valves on the gas pipeline. Therefore, accurate measurement of the gas holder position is a very important link. Currently, the commonly used gas holders are equipped with optical fiber position meters and static pressure position meters according to the volume and characteristics of the gas holder itself to jointly realize continuous measurement and interlocking protection of the height of the position. However, there are many problems in the actual operation and detection process on site, and the safe and reliable operation of the gas holder cannot be fully guaranteed. The main reasons are as follows: the alarm system of the gas tank position is not perfect, the detection alarm function of the gas tank position is not perfect, the high and low limit alarm function settings of each gas tank position are not unified, and the gas tank cannot implement pre-alarm when the position is running to the high and low positions, and the pre-alarm function cannot play a role, making it impossible for operators to manually stabilize the gas tank position within the effective time. At the same time, the alarm setting of the HMI screen is unreasonable, and the alarm only appears in the form of an alarm information bar. When other alarm information appears, the alarm information of the cabinet automatically overflows the alarm box, and the alarm record cannot be effectively monitored. In addition, the alarm threshold and protection limit value of the gas tank are set unreasonably, and cannot fully play a role in stabilizing the operation of the gas tank; the reliability of the cabinet measurement device currently used is poor, and the gas tank instrument cabinet detection device is installed with different types of measuring devices such as static pressure type and optical fiber type. The existing electronic measuring device signals are all converted to PLC through the secondary table to perform logical operations and realize the interlocking function. In the process of signal transmission, it is easy to be interfered and struck by lightning, etc. External factors may cause equipment damage or inaccurate measurements, and the failure rate of mechanical connections is high. During winter operation, the low temperature and adverse environmental factors may cause the wire rope to freeze, break, sluice, and fall out of the groove. The hose used to connect the pressure pipe of the static pressure cabinet gauge may age and crack, and the pressure liquid may leak, causing inaccurate cabinet measurements, thereby triggering the interlock alarm action. It cannot play a good cabinet monitoring role and cannot provide real and effective operation data for the personnel on duty. The instruments and equipment used on site do not meet the requirements for use in explosion-proof areas, and the gas cabinet detection instruments are not equipped in accordance with relevant national standards. Through a census, it was found that some instruments in the gas cabinet area used intrinsically safe instruments for primary detection equipment, but the secondary instrument signal isolator did not use intrinsically safe safety barriers. Some instruments did not use intrinsically safe instruments in both the primary and secondary areas. There are great safety hazards when used in explosion-hazardous areas. When the equipment is struck by lightning, sparks are generated in the electrical circuit, or the equipment fails, it is very likely to ignite dangerous gases, causing major safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides an industrial gas cabinet safe operation early warning system to solve the problems existing in the above background.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] Furthermore, a bracket is horizontally fixedly provided on the inner side of the gas tank, and the first radar level meter, the second radar level meter and the third radar level meter are all detachably connected to the bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, the output end of the flash alarm is also connected in parallel with an electric bell, a test button and a confirmation button.

[0008] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The utility model provides an industrial gas cabinet safe operation warning system, which is mainly composed of components such as a radar level meter, a radar reflector, a current detection end safety grid, a flash alarm and a PLC controller. By adopting the interlocking of an integrated high-frequency radar level meter, a current detection end safety grid, a flash alarm and an electric bell, the safety of the industrial gas cabinet operation is improved, the uncertain operation risk is reduced, and the cabinet failure and risk are predicted in time, and the operating personnel are guided to make correct judgments and operations, which significantly avoids the occurrence of equipment accidents, improves the safety and efficiency of the gas cabinet operation, and thus improves the overall efficiency of the industrial gas cabinet operation, and solves the problem that in the current process of industrial gas cabinet detection, the conventional use of static pressure type and optical fiber type measuring devices usually leads to limited high and low limit alarm functions of the industrial gas cabinet and is extremely susceptible to interference such as lightning strikes, which ultimately causes inaccurate cabinet measurement.

[0010] In the utility model, when the tested gas tank cabinet deviates from the specified value or the operating status is abnormal, an audio and light signal is issued, and the display is intuitive and clear to warn the on-duty personnel to make correct judgments, reduce uncertain risk assessments and restrictions, predict faults and risks in time, and ensure the safe operation of the gas tank cabinet.

[0011] In order to avoid unnecessary false alarms due to false signals, the gas tank position parameters in the utility model adopt a multi-sensor control logic and define a delay. When the early warning system receives a signal exceeding the trip limit, at least two independent radar level meters confirm the signal at the same time, and only when the signal exceeds the limit within the specified time will a danger alarm signal be issued, which can avoid the occurrence of vicious equipment accidents, improve the safety of the gas tank and reduce economic losses.

[0012] In the utility model, all gas cabinets realize four-level alarm, namely low-low alarm, low alarm, high alarm and high-high alarm. The low alarm and high alarm are pre-alarm values. When the cabinet reaches the set threshold, the first sound and light alarm is issued to remind the operator to pay attention to the operation status of the gas cabinet and conduct manual intervention when appropriate to keep the cabinet running smoothly; when the low-low alarm and high-high alarm thresholds are reached, the second sound and light alarm is issued, and the interlocking action conditions are triggered to automatically open the gas release valve or automatically open and close the gas inlet and outlet valves. When the gas cabinet returns to the normal cabinet, the gas outlet valve is manually opened to release the alarm and interlock.

[0013] The utility model fundamentally guarantees the safe production of the gas holder, plays a positive role in balancing gas use, improving gas utilization, reducing emissions, and lowering energy consumption, implements full-process detection and monitoring of the operation of the gas holder, and plays an important role in ensuring the normal operation and safety of the gas holder.
