Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas cylinder replacement, in particular to a bottled gas self-service replacement device. Background Technique

[0002] The gas stove is a commonly used kitchen appliance in life. It uses natural gas as fuel and has the advantages of low cost, environmental protection and no pollution. For rural areas, natural gas cannot be centrally supplied. The gas stove is usually connected to a gas cylinder to provide natural gas for the gas stove. When the gas is used up, the gas cylinder needs to be replaced. Each time the gas cylinder is replaced, service personnel are required to come to the door for replacement. Or in case of emergency, if the service personnel do not come to the door in time, it will cause inconvenience. Therefore, providing a replacement cabinet for people to replace the gas cylinder by themselves can greatly improve the efficiency.

[0003] After consulting, the utility model with the publication number of CN211956625U provides a bottled gas main cabinet, including a first main cabinet and a second main cabinet. The first main cabinet is located above the second main cabinet and the first main cabinet and the second main cabinet are integrally formed. The first main cabinet is in a cuboid shape and one side of the first main cabinet is not closed. The touch screen and the card reader are both built in the first main cabinet and the touch screen is located above the card reader. Before using this device, service personnel need to load the gas cylinder into the main cabinet. When the user replaces the gas cylinder, they swipe the card to take out the gas cylinder in the main cabinet and load the empty cylinder into the main cabinet, so as to facilitate the service personnel to recycle it. However, in this device, it is impossible to judge whether the gas cylinder in the main cabinet is an empty cylinder. After the first user replaces the gas cylinder, because it is impossible to judge the empty cylinder, it will cause the situation that the later users replace the empty cylinder with an empty cylinder. To solve this problem, the utility model provides a bottled gas self-service replacement device. Content of the Utility Model
