[0026] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the technical means and structure adopted by this utility model are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, focusing on the features and functions of the preferred embodiments of this utility model.
[0027] As attached Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent gas cylinder, comprising:
[0028] Bottle 1, with an air vent valve at the top and a base 2 at the bottom;
[0029] The protective plate 3 is set on the top of the bottle body 1. The protective plate 3 is ring-shaped. The vent valve is located on the axis of the protective plate 3. An opening is provided on one side of the protective plate 3. The vent valve vents towards the opening. The height of the protective plate 3 is higher than the height of the vent valve, so as to protect the vent valve.
[0030] Vibration monitoring component 4 is mounted on base 2 and is used to detect vibrations experienced by bottle 1.
[0031] Control panel 5 is installed on bottle body 1 and is connected to vibration monitoring component 4;
[0032] An alarm is installed on bottle body 1 and connected to control panel 5.
[0033] In actual use, the vibration monitoring component 4 monitors the cylinder body 1 during placement or transportation. When the cylinder body 1 is impacted or vibrates during transportation, the vibration monitoring component 4 will send a signal. After receiving the signal, the alarm will sound an alarm. After receiving the alarm, the staff should immediately go to check the specific situation of the cylinder and clear the alarm through the control panel 5, thereby avoiding the cylinder from falling over or being continuously impacted and causing danger, thus improving the safety of the cylinder during use and transportation.
[0034] In this embodiment, a receiving cavity is provided at the bottom of the base 2, and the vibration monitoring component 4 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The vibration monitoring component 4 includes:
[0035] The outer shell 41 is a hollow hemispherical shape with its opening facing upwards. A through hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the outer shell 41, and the top of the outer shell 41 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity.
[0036] Laser emitter 42, which is located at the bottom of housing 41;
[0037] Laser receiver 43 is located on the top of housing 41 and opposite to laser emitter 42. Laser receiver 43 is connected to control panel 5.
[0038] The sensing ball 44 is disposed inside the housing 41, and the diameter of the sensing ball 44 is larger than the diameter of the through hole.
[0039] Under normal circumstances, the sensing ball 44 will be located inside the outer shell 41 and block the through hole. The laser emitted by the laser emitter 42 will be blocked by the sensing ball 44. When the bottle 1 is hit or falls over, the sensing ball 44 will be displaced under the action of the impact. When the sensing ball 44 is displaced and can no longer block the laser emitted by the laser emitter 42, the laser receiver 43 will receive the laser and send a signal. The alarm will sound an alarm to remind the staff to come and check. When the bottle 1 stops being hit, since the outer shell is hemispherical, the sensing ball 44 will return to its initial position and block the through hole.
[0040] Preferably, staff can adjust the sensitivity of the vibration monitoring component 4 by replacing the sensing balls 44 of different sizes, so that no alarm is triggered when the bottle 1 is subjected to minor vibrations.
[0041] Specifically, a first pressure sensor and a first temperature sensor are installed on the bottle body 1. The first pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor are connected to the control panel 5. The detection probes of the first pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor are located inside the bottle body 1, thereby detecting the pressure and temperature inside the bottle body 1. The detected values can be fed back to the control panel 5 and displayed. The operator can operate the control panel 5 to preset the pressure and temperature range. When the pressure and temperature inside the bottle body 1 deviate from the range, the alarm will sound an alarm to remind the operator to come and check.
[0042] Specifically, a second pressure sensor is installed at the outlet of the air valve. The second pressure sensor is connected to the control panel 5, so that the air pressure at the outlet of the air valve can be detected by the second pressure sensor. When the air valve leaks, the second pressure sensor will detect the change in air pressure and send a signal to make the alarm sound.
[0043] Specifically, a second temperature sensor is also installed on the cylinder body 1. The second temperature sensor is connected to the control panel 5. The second temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature, so as to remind the staff when the ambient temperature is too high and it is not conducive to the storage of the cylinder.
[0044] Specifically, a position sensor is installed on the base 2, which is connected to the control panel 5. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the cylinder 1. The operator can preset the position range of the cylinder, so that when the cylinder is moved out of the range, the position sensor will send a signal to trigger the alarm, thus preventing the cylinder from being transported incorrectly or taken by unauthorized personnel.
[0045] Specifically, a storage battery 6 is also installed inside the cavity. The storage battery 6 is connected to the control panel 5 and the vibration monitoring component 4 to provide power to each component.
[0046] Specifically, handles are provided on both sides of the protective plate 3 to facilitate the handling of staff.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and not all embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model. All technical solutions that are the same as or similar to the present utility model are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
