[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a pressure monitoring device is connected to the pressure tap of an in-service pressure vessel 11 and comprises a connecting assembly, a supporting assembly, and a pressure monitoring assembly. Specifically, the connecting assembly comprises a first flange 1, a connecting pipe, and a second flange 4. Flange holes are provided between the first and second flanges 1 and 4, and the corresponding flange holes and the connecting pipe are welded together. The pressure tap of the pressure vessel 11 is a flange structure that can be directly connected to the first flange 1. A gasket is installed at the connection between the pressure tap and the first flange 1 to improve its sealing. If the pressure tap is a threaded hole, a flanged adapter structure can be installed in its place. The medium in the pressure vessel 11 enters the connecting pipe through the pressure tap.

[0029] The pressure monitoring assembly specifically includes a valve seat 5 and several pressure monitoring devices 7. The valve seat 5 specifically consists of a valve disc 8 and a pressure measuring tube assembly. A flow hole is provided on one side of the center of the valve disc 8, which is consistent with the flange hole at the center of the second flange 4. Threaded holes are provided at corresponding positions on the second flange 4 and the valve disc 8, which can be fixedly connected by bolts. A gasket is also installed at the connection between the valve disc 8 and the second flange 4 to improve its sealing performance. The pressure measuring tube assembly includes two pressure measuring branches 9, which are evenly arranged on both sides of the valve disc 8 and arranged horizontally. The flow hole inside the valve disc 8 and the two pressure measuring branches 9 are connected. The medium in the pressure vessel 11 can enter the two pressure measuring branches 9 through the pressure measuring hole, the flange hole of the first flange 1, the connecting pipe, the flange hole of the second flange 4, and the flow hole on the valve disc 8.

[0030] There are several pressure measuring joints evenly arranged on the pressure measuring branch pipe 9, and each pressure measuring joint is connected to a pressure monitoring device 7 through a section of pipeline. Multiple pressure monitoring devices 7 can monitor the pressure conditions of the pressure vessel 11 at the same time. The signals of each pressure monitoring device 7 are used to realize high (low) pressure alarm of the pressure vessel 11, judge and control the start and stop of the pressure replenishing device of the pressure vessel 11 (oil pump, air compressor, etc.), calibrate the measurement data of the pressure measuring device, etc., which can meet the calling requirements of the newly added pressure monitoring signal of the intelligent control system.

[0031] Preferably, a regulating valve 3 is provided on the connecting pipe, specifically employing a conventional ball valve structure, to control the flow and blockage within the connecting pipe. Simultaneously, a pre-gauge valve 6 is provided on the pipeline preceding each pressure monitoring device 7. This valve arrangement allows for flexible adjustment, effectively isolating each pressure monitoring device 7 on the pressure branch pipe 9. This reduces the need to depressurize the pressure vessel 11 due to defect repair or periodic disassembly and calibration of the pressure monitoring device 7, saving maintenance time and costs and improving work efficiency.

[0032] To further enhance the structural stability of the device, the support assembly specifically includes a first support rod 2, which is a double-ended screw structure with external threads. Fixing holes are provided at the lower ends of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4. The ends of the first support rod 2 are passed through the fixing holes at the lower ends of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4, respectively, and then secured with bolts to enhance structural stability. Two inclined support rods 10 are also provided on the valve seat 5. One end of each inclined support rod 10 is welded to the bottom end of the valve disc 8, and the other end is welded to the lower side of the two pressure measuring branches 9 away from the valve disc 8, forming a stable triangular structure to support each pressure monitoring device 7 and enhance overall structural stability.

[0033] Each connection of the present invention adopts the flange connection of the prior art, and the addition of gaskets improves the sealing performance to avoid affecting the monitoring of the pressure monitoring device 7. At the same time, the flange structure adopts the standard parts of the prior art and does not require special processing. The processing of the non-standard parts of the valve disc 8 structure also does not require special technology and can be achieved using the process technology of the prior art.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
