The top of the outer shell fits with the bottom of the protective shell, the protective shell and the alarm are nested, and the alarm is installed above the outer shell. The utility model is a natural gas pipeline leakage detection device, which is provided with a prompting device on its structure. The receiver receives the detection signal, energizes its processor, and thus energizes its iron block to generate magnetic force, adsorbs the upper armature to drive the fixed plate downward along the slider, thereby touching the seesaw, causing the seesaw to drive the contact upward, so that the contact and the contact point touch and energize, so that the converter converts the signal, which is then sent by the wireless chip, so that the natural gas leak can be dealt with in a timely manner.

[0004] The natural gas detection device in the above patent still has certain shortcomings. Most of the existing natural gas pipeline leakage detection devices are connected to the pipeline and use the detector to measure and control the natural gas flow rate in the pipeline to determine whether the natural gas pipeline is leaking. This method is difficult to accurately detect the connection between the two pipelines, has certain defects in use, and is difficult to meet the user's usage needs. Utility Model Content

[0026] The leakage detection assembly 3 includes an upper sealing shell 301 clamped on the upper side of the pipe joint 4 and a lower sealing shell 302 clamped on the lower side of the pipe joint 4. The upper sealing shell 301 and the lower sealing shell 302 are clamped on the outside of the pipe joint 4 and are tightly wrapped. The top wall of the upper sealing shell 301 is provided with an air inlet groove 303, and the upper part of the air inlet groove 303 is provided with a push inner cavity 304. The push inner cavity 304 is connected to the air inlet groove 303 through an air inlet channel 305. An air bag 306 is provided in the push inner cavity 304, and the entrance of the air bag 306 is bonded to the air inlet channel 305. A push plate 307 is slidably provided in the push inner cavity 304, and a first resistance rod 308 is vertically provided at the top of the push plate 307. The top of the first resistance rod 308 passes through the top of the upper sealing shell 301, and the top of the first resistance rod 308 is provided with a top resistance plate 309.

[0027] A limit frame 310 is set on the outside of the top contact plate 309, and an alarm 311 is set on the top of the limit frame 310. A trigger switch 312 is set in the middle of the bottom end of the alarm 311, and a trigger push rod 313 is set at the top of the top contact plate 309. The trigger push rod 313 passes through the middle of the limit frame 310, and a trigger push head 314 is set at the top of the trigger push rod 313. Two groups of first connecting blocks 315 are symmetrically set on the outside of the upper sealing shell 301, and two groups of second connecting blocks 316 are symmetrically set on the outside of the lower sealing shell 302. A fastening bolt 317 is inserted through the first connecting block 315 and the second connecting block 316, and a fastening nut 318 is sleeved on the end of the fastening bolt 317.

[0028] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a sealing gasket is provided at the junction of the upper sealing shell 301 and the lower sealing shell 302 .

[0029] The upper sealing shell 301 and the lower sealing shell 302 can better seal the outside of the pipe joint 4 to form a tightly closed space.

[0030] Embodiment 3: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the air inlet groove 303 is in the shape of an inverted funnel.

[0031] The natural gas leaked into the inner cavity of the upper sealed shell 301 and the lower sealed shell 302 can better enter the air intake channel 305 connected to the top of the air intake groove 303 .

[0032] Embodiment 4: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, the two sides of the alarm 311 are fixedly connected to the top of the upper sealing shell 301 through the provided fixing plates.

[0033] This makes it more stable for the alarm 311 to be arranged on the top of the upper sealed shell 301 .

[0034] In this embodiment, since most existing natural gas pipeline leakage detection devices are connected to the pipeline and use the detector to measure and control the natural gas flow rate in the pipeline to determine whether the natural gas pipeline is leaking, this method is difficult to accurately detect the connection between the two pipelines, has certain defects in use, and is difficult to meet the user's usage needs.

[0035] In summary, in a specific implementation, when the user needs to perform a leak detection on the pipe joint 4 provided at the connection between the first connecting pipe 1 and the second connecting pipe 2, the user first needs to clamp the upper sealing shell 301 and the lower sealing shell 302 on both sides of the pipe joint 4 to seal it, and then firmly fix the upper sealing shell 301 and the lower sealing shell 302 by inserting the fastening bolts 317 on the first connecting block 315 and the second connecting block 316.

[0036] When natural gas leaks from the pipe joint 4 provided at the connection between the first connecting pipe 1 and the second connecting pipe 2, the leaked natural gas can enter the enclosed space of the upper sealed shell 301 and the lower sealed shell 302, and the natural gas enters the air intake channel 305 through the air intake groove 303, and enters the air bag 306 through the air intake channel 305, so that the air bag 306 is expanded by the gradually entering natural gas, and pushes against the push plate 307 provided in the push inner cavity 304.

[0037] The push plate 307 can push the first resistance rod 308 to move upward, and the top resistance plate 309 set at the end of the first resistance rod 308 can push the trigger push head 314 through the trigger push rod 313, so that the trigger push head 314 can resist and trigger the trigger switch 312 set at the bottom of the alarm 311, causing the alarm 311 to sound an alarm, and then be used to detect whether a natural gas leak occurs at the pipe joint 4, and can more accurately detect whether a natural gas leak occurs at the pipe joint 4 where the first connecting pipe 1 and the second connecting pipe 2 are connected.
