Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of standard metal measuring instrument testing equipment, in particular to a standard metal measuring instrument cheating simulation testing device. Background Art
[0002] Metal measuring vessels are widely used in the petrochemical industry to measure the volume of liquids and gases. Due to their high accuracy, they are often used as standards or for unbiased measurement, and are therefore referred to as standard metal measuring vessels. Standard metal measuring vessels can be used for on-site verification or calibration of vehicle fuel dispensers, flow meters, and other equipment. They can also serve as fairing tanks at gas stations. In recent years, inspections of gas stations have uncovered instances of metering fraud in fairing tanks at some stations. For example, station personnel may modify the fairing tank's hardware to display a higher-than-actual fuel level, causing a fuel dispenser with a negative deviation to appear normal when tested with the fairing tank. Furthermore, when using standard metal measuring vessels for on-site flow testing or flow meter calibration, some technical or service agencies, for business or profit reasons, may use tampered standard metal measuring vessels, resulting in inaccurate measured or displayed values. For ease of use, standard metal measuring vessels used on-site often undergo modifications, such as the addition of readouts, controls, automatic mechanisms, or housings, making any fraud difficult to detect. Cheating behavior has brought illegal benefits to relevant parties and seriously disrupted the market environment of fair measurement.
[0003] Therefore, how to prevent and detect cheating in the measurement of standard metal measuring instruments, reveal the cheating mechanism, and provide effective guidance for administrative agencies and trade-related parties to prevent cheating has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently by technical personnel in this field.

[0049] Each stop valve, each regulating valve and each water pump in the utility model are initially in a closed state.
[0050] The use process of this utility model is as follows:
[0051] Calibrate the nominal capacity scale of the inspected tank 3:
[0052] Before using the inspected tank 3 to simulate various cheating behaviors, it is necessary to calibrate the nominal capacity scale of the inspected tank 3. The specific calibration method is as follows:
[0053] Step 1: Open the first stop valve 41, the second stop valve 43, the third stop valve 44 and the first water pump 42, and at the same time control the instantaneous flow of the liquid flowing through the first pipeline 4 through the first regulating valve 45 to discharge the liquid in the external water tank 1 into the standard tank 2. After the standard tank 2 is filled with liquid, close the first stop valve 41, the second stop valve 43, the third stop valve 44 and the first water pump 42; wait for a while, and after the wall of the standard tank 2 is fully moistened, open the fifth stop valve 61, and discharge all the liquid in the standard tank 2 into the inspected tank 3 through the third pipeline 6. To ensure that all the liquid in the standard tank 2 is discharged into the inspected tank 3, wait for 2 minutes when the liquid in the third pipeline 6 is in a dripping state;
[0054] Step 2: Close the fifth stop valve 61, open the drain valve 314, and completely drain the liquid in the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. Wait for 2 minutes in a dripping state, and then close the drain valve 314.
[0055] Step 3: Pour the liquid in the external water tank 1 into the standard tank 2, adjust the liquid level to the nominal capacity scale line position and measure the medium temperature in the standard tank 2 through the temperature detection device;
[0056] Step 4: Open the fifth stop valve 61 and completely drain the liquid in the standard tank 2 into the inspected tank 3. Wait for 2 minutes in a trickle state, then close the fifth stop valve 61, record the liquid level in the inspected tank 3 at this time, and measure the temperature of the medium in the inspected tank 3 using a temperature detection device.
[0057] Step 5: Open the drain valve 314 to completely drain the liquid in the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10, wait for 2 minutes in the dripping state, and then close the drain valve 314;
[0058] Repeat steps 1 to 5 to complete at least 3 calibration operations, and obtain the nominal capacity scale of the inspected tank 3 based on the multiple measurement results.
[0059] Demonstration of cheating operation by occupying working medium:
[0060] The dark box 32 can simulate the addition of a cheating container or the dropping of a foreign object into the inspected can 3. The volume of the dark box 32 is set to z1, and its upper cover can be opened and closed. When open, the inner cavity of the dark box 32 is connected to the tank cavity of the inspected can 3. When closed, the inner cavity of the dark box 32 and the tank cavity of the inspected can 3 are isolated.
[0061] During the metering operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is metered into the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 from the top of the inspected tank 3 or via the second water pump 92 from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 until the liquid level reaches the measuring neck range of the inspected tank 3. If the cover of the dark box 32 is not opened during the metering process, it will be empty when the metering operation is completed, occupying a portion of the effective volume of the inspected tank 3. This means that the measured volume displayed on the measuring instrument of the inspected tank 3 is z1 more than the actual measured volume, that is, the cheating amount is z1. If the cover of the dark box 32 is opened during the metering process, it will be full of medium when the metering operation is completed, and no effective volume will be occupied.
[0062] During the measuring operation, the liquid in the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 via the second water pump 92. The liquid level is adjusted to the nominal capacity scale line position of the inspected tank 3, and then the drain valve 314 is opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. If the cover of the dark box 32 is not opened during the filling process, the dark box 32 will be empty when the filling is completed, occupying a part of the effective volume of the inspected tank 3. If the cover of the dark box 32 remains closed during the measuring process, when the measuring operation is completed, the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument of the inspected tank 3 will be z1 more than the actual volume;
[0063] Demonstration of cheating operation by intercepting working medium:
[0064] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 via the second water pump 92. The liquid level is adjusted to the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3, and then the drain valve 314 is opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. If the cover of the dark box 32 is opened during the filling process, regardless of whether the cover remains open or closed during the measuring process, liquid in the dark box 32 will be retained upon completion of the measuring operation, resulting in the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument exceeding the actual value by an amount z1. If the cover of the dark box 32 is not opened during the filling process, but remains open during the measuring process, liquid in the dark box 32 will be retained upon completion of the measuring operation, resulting in the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument exceeding the actual value by an amount z1.
[0065] Demonstration of cheating operation by secretly discharging working medium:
[0066] A concealed pipe 33 is installed at the outer wall of the lower cone at the bottom of the inspected tank 3, and a concealed pipe valve is provided on the concealed pipe 33.
[0067] During the metering operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is metered into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 by the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 by the second water pump 92 until the liquid level reaches the measuring neck of the inspected tank 3. During the metering process, the concealed pipe valve is opened, and a portion of the liquid (assuming its volume is z2) is discharged from the concealed pipe 33 into the second external container 11. When the metering operation is completed, the measured volume displayed on the measuring instrument of the inspected tank 3 is less than the actual volume by a deduction of z2.
[0068] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top via the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 via the second water pump 92. The liquid level is adjusted to the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3. The drain valve 314 is then opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. During the measuring process, if the concealed pipe valve is opened, a portion of the liquid (assuming its volume is z2) is discharged from the concealed pipe 33 into the second external container 11. When the measuring operation is completed, the measured volume displayed on the measuring instrument of the inspected tank 3 is a deceptive amount z2 greater than the actual volume.
[0069] Demonstration of cheating operation by changing the nominal capacity scale line:
[0070] After the inspected tank 3 is calibrated, the relative position between the scale 13 and the liquid level tube 12 is changed by adjusting the screw 131, which is equivalent to the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3 being changed. The changed volume is assumed to be z3.
[0071] During the metering operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is metered into the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 from the top of the inspected tank 3 or via the second water pump 92 from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 until the liquid level reaches the measuring neck of the inspected tank 3. If the scale 13 moves upward before the metering operation, the measured volume displayed on the inspected tank 3's scale will be less than the actual volume by a cheating amount of z3. If the scale moves downward before the metering operation, the measured volume displayed on the inspected tank 3's scale will be more than the actual volume by a cheating amount of z3.
[0072] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 via the second water pump 92. The liquid level is adjusted to the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3. The drain valve 314 is then opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. If the scale moves upward before filling, the measured volume displayed on the inspected tank 3's scale will be less than the actual volume by a deceptive amount z3. If the scale moves downward before filling, the measured volume displayed on the inspected tank 3's scale will be more than the actual volume by a deceptive amount z3.
[0073] Demonstration of cheating operation using the tenth stop valve 121:
[0074] The tenth stop valve 121 is used to isolate the lumen of the liquid level tube 12 from the atmosphere. During normal operation, the tenth stop valve 121 should be in an open state, and the liquid level in the metering neck 35 should be level with the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 .
[0075] During the measuring operation, the liquid in the external water tank 1 is measured into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 through the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 through the second water pump 92. When the liquid level approaches the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3, the tenth stop valve 121 is closed. At this time, the liquid level in the metering neck 35 is still rising, but the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 no longer rises due to the gas pressure. When the measuring operation is completed, the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 will inevitably be artificially low. Assuming that the volume of the artificial low is z4, it is equivalent to the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument being z4 less than the actual volume.
[0076] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 from the top of the inspected tank 3 or via the second water pump 92 from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311. When the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 reaches the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3, the tenth stop valve 121 is closed. At this point, the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 stops rising due to gas pressure, while the liquid level in the metering neck 35 continues to rise for a period of time, completing the filling operation. The drain valve 314 and the tenth stop valve 121 are then opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. When the measuring operation is completed, the measured volume displayed on the measuring instrument is less than the actual volume by a factor of z4.
[0077] Demonstration of cheating operation using butterfly valve 14:
[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, a butterfly valve 14 is installed at the bottom of the metering neck 35 of the tank 3 under inspection. This valve is used to isolate the interior of the metering neck 35 from the tank cavity of the tank 3 under inspection. The switch of the butterfly valve 14 is located outside the metering neck and can be controlled by the butterfly valve switch. During normal operation, the butterfly valve 14 should be open, and the liquid level in the metering neck 35 should be equal to the liquid level in the level tube 12.
[0079] During the measuring operation, the liquid in the external water tank 1 is measured into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 through the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 through the second water pump 92. When the liquid level approaches the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3, the butterfly valve 14 is closed. At this time, the liquid level in the metering neck 35 of the inspected tank 3 no longer rises, but the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 is still rising. When the measuring operation is completed, the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 will inevitably be artificially high. Assuming the volume of the artificial height is z5, it is equivalent to the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument being z5 more than the actual amount.
[0080] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 from the top of the inspected tank 3 or via the second water pump 92 from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311. When the liquid level in the liquid level tube 12 approaches the nominal capacity mark on the inspected tank 3, the butterfly valve 14 is closed. At this point, the liquid level in the liquid level tube continues to rise until it reaches the nominal capacity mark, completing the filling operation. The drain 314 and butterfly valve 14 are then opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. Upon completion of the measuring operation, the volume of the inspected tank 3 measured by the measuring device exceeds the actual volume by a factor of z5.
[0081] Demonstration of cheating operation to change the preset state of lower liquid inlet pipe 311:
[0082] Let V1 be the volume of the inlet pipe 311 from the sixth shutoff valve 313 to the herringbone branch point, and V2 be the volume of the outlet pipe 312 from the drain valve 314 to the herringbone branch point. During normal operation, V1 is preset to not occupy the effective volume of the inspected tank 3, that is, V1 always contains liquid during both inlet and outlet operations.
[0083] During the metering operation, sixth shut-off valve 313 is opened to drain the liquid from liquid inlet pipe 311, and then sixth shut-off valve 313 is closed. At this point, pipe volume V1 is emptied. Liquid from external water tank 1 is metered into tank 3 via first water pump 42 from the top of tank 3 or second water pump 92 from lower liquid inlet pipe 311 until the liquid level reaches the measuring neck of tank 3. When the metering operation is complete, the displayed volume on the scale is less than the actual volume by an amount V1.
[0084] During the measuring operation, liquid from the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 or from the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 via the second water pump 92. The liquid level is adjusted to the nominal capacity scale line of the inspected tank 3, and then the drain valve 314 is opened to completely measure the liquid from the inspected tank 3 into the first external container 10. If the pipeline volume V1 has been emptied before the liquid filling process, the liquid in the pipeline volume V1 is retained when the measuring operation is completed, which means that the measured volume is not affected. If the drain valve 314 is opened at the same time as the sixth stop valve 313 during the measuring process, the pipeline volume V1 is emptied, and the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument upon completion of the measuring operation is equivalent to being less than the actual measured volume by an amount V1.
[0085] Demonstration of cheating operation for interchangeability between lower liquid inlet pipe 311 and liquid outlet pipe 312:
[0086] Liquid is taken in by the liquid outlet pipe 312 and liquid is discharged by the lower liquid inlet pipe 311. Since the pipe volumes V1 and V2 of the two are different, a cheating effect is produced.
[0087] During the metering operation, liquid in the external water tank 1 is metered into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 via the first water pump 42 or from the liquid outlet pipe 312 via the second water pump 92 (the sixth shut-off valve 313 remains closed) until the liquid level reaches the metering neck range of the inspected tank 3. Since the normal volume of the inspected tank 3 includes the pipeline volume V2 of the liquid outlet pipe 312 and does not include the pipeline volume V1 of the lower liquid inlet pipe 311, the actual volume of the inspected tank 3 after the exchange includes the pipeline volume V1 of the lower liquid inlet pipe 311 and does not include the pipeline volume V2 of the liquid outlet pipe 312. Since V1 is less than V2, assuming V2-V1=z7, this means that the actual utilized volume of the inspected tank 3 is z7 less than the normal volume. In other words, the measured volume displayed on the measuring instrument after the metering operation is completed is a cheating amount of z7 more than the actual volume.
[0088] During the measuring operation, the liquid in the external water tank 1 is filled into the inspected tank 3 from the top of the inspected tank 3 through the first water pump 42 or from the liquid outlet pipe 312 through the second water pump 92, and the liquid level is adjusted to reach the nominal capacity scale line position of the inspected tank 3, and then the sixth stop valve 313 is opened to completely measure the water from the inspected tank 3 to the first external container 10, which is equivalent to the actual measured volume of the inspected tank 3 being z7 less than the normal volume, that is, when the measuring operation is completed, the measured volume displayed by the measuring instrument is z7 more than the actual volume.
