Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquefied gas cylinders, and in particular to a liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of petrochemical industry, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has become more and more popular as a chemical raw material and fuel. The most common way to store, transport and use LPG is in cylinders. Due to its convenience, cylinders are widely used in certain fields, especially in remote rural areas where pipeline gas is not popular or in small restaurants or mobile restaurants.

[0003] For the catering industry, the liquefied gas cylinders used by users are professionally filled with liquid petroleum gas in a certain standard volume of cylinders, commonly known as liquefied gas. The conventional specifications are 5KG, 15KG, and 50KG, which refers to the weight of the filled liquefied gas. The actual filled weight will have a certain error due to the influence of various parties. The corresponding weight of the air cylinder is 6.2KG, 16.5KG, and 46KG.

[0004] In the related art, it often happens that people fail to notice that the liquefied gas in the cylinder is exhausted, resulting in the dilemma of being unable to cook. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to monitor the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas cylinder, the present application provides a liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0009] The weight display module is used to display weight-related information.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a liquefied gas cylinder in a normally full gas state is installed on an electronic scale. The electronic scale detects the weight of the cylinder in real time and sends the weight information to a weight display module. The weight display module displays weight-related information, so that the user can replenish liquefied gas in time according to the weight-related information when the liquefied gas is insufficient, thereby avoiding the situation where the liquefied gas cylinder is insufficient and the cooking cannot be done due to insufficient gas.

[0011] Optionally, the weight display module includes:

[0012] A controller, embedded in the base and connected to the electronic scale for receiving the weight information and sending a warning message;

[0013] The voice announcer is installed on the side wall of the base and is used to receive and respond to the warning information to announce the warning content.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after receiving the weight information, the controller can determine whether the current weight value of the cylinder is less than the preset weight threshold based on the weight information. If so, it means that the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas cylinder is insufficient, and a warning message is sent to the voice announcer. The voice announcer will broadcast the warning content based on the warning information, such as "Gas is insufficient, refill as soon as possible" to remind the user in time.

[0015] Optionally, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system further includes:

[0016] An LED display screen is installed on the side wall of the base and is communicatively connected with the controller for displaying the weight information and the warning content.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller will also send the weight information and warning content to the LED display screen, which will display it, so that the user can clearly understand the status of the liquefied gas cylinder at any time; since the LED display screen is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the electronic scale, the user can clearly understand it no matter at which angle.

[0018] Optionally, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system further includes:

[0019] A gas sensor, mounted on the side wall of the base and connected to the controller for detecting whether the liquefied gas is leaking and sending a leakage signal;

[0021] The water immersion sensor is installed on the side wall of the base and is connected to the controller for communication, and is used to detect whether there is water on the ground around the electronic scale and send a water immersion signal.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature of the liquefied gas cylinder, whether there is water leakage in the room, and whether the liquefied gas is leaking can be detected in real time, thereby further improving the safety of liquefied gas use.

[0023] Optionally, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system further includes:

[0024] A clamping frame, fixedly connected to the base;

[0025] Two clamping blocks are provided, which are connected to the clamping frame by sliding toward or away from each other, and are used to clamp the liquefied gas cylinder;

[0026] The driving component is installed on the clamping frame and is used to drive the movement of the two clamping blocks.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and disassembly of the liquefied gas cylinder is facilitated, and it can also be applied to the installation of different liquefied gas cylinders.

[0028] Optionally, the driving component includes:

[0029] A driving bidirectional cylinder, wherein the cylinder body is horizontally mounted on the clamping frame;

[0030] A connecting rod has one end fixedly connected to the piston rod of the driving bidirectional cylinder, and the other end fixedly connected to the clamping block.

[0031] Optionally, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system further includes:

[0032] An auxiliary seat, the base is horizontally rotatably connected to the auxiliary seat;

[0033] The rotating component is installed on the auxiliary seat and is used to drive the rotation of the base.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, after the rotating component is started, the base is driven to rotate horizontally, so that the angle of the liquefied gas cylinder can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the connection between the liquefied gas cylinder and the stove.

[0035] Optionally, the rotating component includes:

[0036] A rotating motor is mounted on the auxiliary seat;

[0039] In summary, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. The purpose of setting up the electronic scale and the weight display module is to install the liquefied gas cylinder in a normal full gas state on the electronic scale. The electronic scale detects the weight of the cylinder in real time and sends the weight information to the weight display module. The weight display module will display weight-related information, so that the user can replenish the liquefied gas in time according to the weight-related information when the liquefied gas is insufficient, thereby avoiding the situation where the gas in the liquefied gas cylinder is insufficient and the cooking cannot be done.

[0041] 2. The purpose of setting the voice announcer and LED display screen is that the controller determines whether the current weight of the cylinder is less than the weight threshold based on the weight information. If so, it means that there is insufficient gas in the cylinder, so a warning message is sent to the voice announcer. The voice announcer will broadcast the warning content based on the warning information, thereby reminding the user that "gas is insufficient, replenish as soon as possible"; the controller will also send the weight information and warning content to the LED display screen, which will display them so that the user can also clearly understand the status of the cylinder; since the LED display screen is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the electronic scale, the user can clearly understand it no matter at which angle; avoid insufficient gas in the cylinder, resulting in the inability to cook; and enable the user to understand the actual amount of gas used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the following will be combined with the appended Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0051] The present application embodiment discloses a liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As an embodiment of the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system may include a base 100, an electronic scale 200 and a weight display module 300. The base 100 is mounted on the ground by bolts, and the electronic scale 200 is embedded in the base 100 to detect the weight of the liquefied gas cylinder in real time and send weight information. The liquefied gas cylinder is detachably connected to the electronic scale 200. The weight display module 300 is used to display weight-related information. It should be noted that the liquefied gas cylinder refers to a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder that can stand.

[0052] The weight display module 300 may include a controller 310 and a voice announcer 320. The controller 310 is embedded in the base 100 and is connected to the electronic scale 200 for receiving weight information and judging the current weight value according to the weight information, and sending a warning message when the current weight value is less than a preset weight threshold. The voice announcer 320 is installed on the side wall of the base 100 by bolts, and is used to receive and respond to the warning information to announce the warning content.

[0053] A plurality of LED display screens 330 are installed on the circumferential side wall of the base 100 by bolts; the LED display screens 330 are connected to the controller 310 for displaying weight information and warning content. In addition, the LED display screen 330 can also be a ring-shaped display screen, which can distinguish whether it is safe by displaying different colors.

[0054] In addition, a gas sensor 101, a temperature sensor 102 and a water immersion sensor 103 are also installed on the side wall of the base 100; the gas sensor 101 is used to detect whether the liquefied gas is leaking, and sends a leakage signal when leaking; the temperature sensor 102 is used to detect the ambient temperature of the liquefied gas cylinder and send temperature information; the water immersion sensor 103 is used to detect whether there is water on the ground around the electronic scale 200 and send a water immersion signal. The gas sensor 101, the temperature sensor 102 and the water immersion sensor 103 are all connected to the controller 310 for communication, and the LED display screen 330 also displays gas concentration information, temperature information and water immersion information.

[0055] Since the height of the electronic scale 200 is relatively low and can be set to about 3 cm, it has a faster leak detection effect than installing the gas alarm 30 cm above the ground; and the movement of the liquefied gas cylinder will not cause it to be relatively far away from the fixedly installed gas alarm, thereby affecting the detection effect. Especially for mobile vendors, it is almost impossible to use a fixed gas alarm, and the gas sensor 101 is installed on the side wall of the base 100, which can move with the movement of the electronic scale 200, greatly achieving a safety protection effect. In addition, since the base 100 is placed on the ground, the water immersion alarm function can be used to monitor and alarm in time when a water leak occurs at home to reduce losses.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 As another embodiment of the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system, the liquefied gas cylinder monitoring system may further include an auxiliary seat 440, a clamping frame 400, a clamping block 410, a driving component 420 and a rotating component 430. The base 100 is horizontally rotatably connected to the auxiliary seat 440; the clamping frame 400 is fixedly connected to the base 100. Two clamping blocks 410 are provided, and the two clamping blocks 410 are slidably connected to the clamping frame 400 toward or away from each other, and are used to clamp the liquefied gas cylinder. The driving component 420 is installed on the clamping frame 400, and is used to drive the movement of the two clamping blocks 410. The rotating component 430 is installed on the auxiliary seat 440, and is used to drive the rotation of the clamping frame 400.

[0057] The driving component 420 may include a driving bidirectional cylinder 421 and a connecting rod 422. The cylinder body of the driving bidirectional cylinder 421 is horizontally mounted on the clamping frame 400 by bolts. One end of the connecting rod 422 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the driving bidirectional cylinder 421, and the other end is fixedly connected to the clamping block 410. The driving bidirectional cylinder 421 may be powered by an air pump.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 A rotating chamber 441 is provided in the auxiliary seat 440 , and an inspection door is installed on the side wall of the auxiliary seat 440 , and the inspection door is used to open and close the rotating chamber 441 .

[0059] The rotating component 430 may include a rotating motor 431, a rotating main gear 432, and a rotating slave gear 433. The rotating motor 431 is installed in the rotating cavity 441 by bolts; and the output shaft is coaxially fixedly connected with the rotating main gear 432. The base 100 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary base 440 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating slave gear 433 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and meshes with the rotating main gear 432.
