Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas storage tank monitoring technology, and in particular to a storage tank leakage prevention monitor based on sensor technology. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas refers to all gases that exist naturally in nature, usually referring to oilfield gas and gas field gas. It is a high-quality fuel and chemical raw material. Its main use is as fuel, but it can also be used to manufacture carbon black, chemicals and liquefied petroleum. Natural gas storage is inseparable from the use of storage tanks. Storage tanks can meet the storage needs of natural gas. When storing natural gas, storage tanks need to be monitored for leakage to prevent accidents.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a leak-proof natural gas monitoring device (authorization announcement number CN211122744U). This patented technology improves the leak-proof capability of the monitoring device through a double shell with a seepage-proof shell snapped into the inside of the housing. Furthermore, the control chip inside the control seat installed on the housing can process the data from the natural gas concentration detector and the natural gas intensity sensor to complete the monitoring of natural gas.

[0004] However, most existing methods for monitoring leaks in natural gas storage tanks rely on sensors, which is a relatively simplistic approach and results in poor monitoring effectiveness. For example, the aforementioned comparative document uses sensor monitoring. In practical applications, relying solely on sensors to monitor the interior of a natural gas storage tank leads to limited data and compromises safety. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a sensor-based leak detection device for storage tanks to address the problems described in the background section. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a storage tank leak prevention monitor based on sensor technology, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the screw and the guide rod have the same radius, and the screw and the guide rod are arranged in parallel.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a motor is installed on one side of the mounting plate, one end of the screw is connected to the drive end of the motor, and the other end of the screw is embedded in the interior of the mounting plate for rotational connection.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the monitoring end of the pressure gauge extends through the outer surface of the natural gas storage tank to the interior of the natural gas storage tank, and the alarm is a red, yellow and green three-color sound and light alarm.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a natural gas intensity sensor is also provided on the inner side of the natural gas storage tank, and a wireless transceiver module, a control chip and a battery are also provided inside the control box.

Through the arrangement of a moving plate, an infrared monitoring imager, a motor, a screw, a guide rod, and a mounting plate in the monitoring mechanism, the operation of the motor causes the screw to rotate, which in turn causes the moving plate to move outside the screw and guide rod to adjust the position of the infrared monitoring imager.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for a storage tank leak detection device based on sensor technology: It includes a natural gas storage tank 1, with a monitoring mechanism 3 installed on the upper surface of the natural gas storage tank 1. The monitoring mechanism 3 includes two mounting plates 35 installed on both sides of the natural gas storage tank 1. A screw 331 and a guide rod 34 are respectively installed between the two mounting plates 35 from front to back. A movable plate 31 is slidably installed on the outside of the screw 331 and the guide rod 34. An infrared monitoring imager 32 is installed on the lower surface of the movable plate 31. A control box 2 is also installed on the front surface of the natural gas storage tank 1. A pressure gauge 21 and an alarm 22 are respectively installed on the upper surface of the control box 2 from left to right. This arrangement allows the position of the infrared monitoring imager 32 to be adjusted by sliding the movable plate 31, thereby enabling the infrared monitoring imager 32 to detect leaks inside the natural gas storage tank 1. Simultaneously, the pressure gauge 21 can monitor the internal pressure of the natural gas storage tank 1, thus achieving the purpose of leak detection through multiple methods.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the screw 331 and the guide rod 34 have the same radius and are arranged parallel to each other. A motor 33 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 35. One end of the screw 331 is connected to the drive end of the motor 33, and the other end of the screw 331 is embedded in the interior of the mounting plate 35 for rotational connection. This arrangement utilizes the operation of the motor 33 to make the screw 331 rotate, and when it rotates, it will cause the moving plate 31 to move outside the screw 331 and the guide rod 34, thereby adjusting the position of the infrared monitoring imager 32 (model Tianji G600C) for the purpose of monitoring the interior of the natural gas storage tank 1.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring end of the pressure gauge 21 extends through the outer surface of the natural gas storage tank 1 and into the interior of the natural gas storage tank 1. The alarm 22 is a red, yellow and green three-color audible and visual alarm. This setup can achieve real-time alarm by using the alarm 22, and the pressure gauge 21 can be used to monitor the pressure of the natural gas storage tank 1.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a natural gas intensity sensor 23 is also installed inside the natural gas storage tank 1. The control box 2 is also equipped with a wireless transceiver module 24, a control chip 25, and a battery 26. The output of the control chip 25 is connected to the input of the wireless transceiver module 24 and the natural gas intensity sensor 23. The battery 26 is electrically connected to the natural gas intensity sensor 23, the wireless transceiver module 24, and the control chip 25. This setup enables remote monitoring using the wireless transceiver module 24, provides power using the battery 26, and monitors the intensity of the natural gas inside the natural gas storage tank 1 using the natural gas intensity sensor 23, which can be a YR50.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the storage tank leak prevention monitor based on sensor technology, firstly, two mounting plates 35 are installed on both sides of the natural gas storage tank 1. After installation, when monitoring the leak prevention of the natural gas storage tank 1, the operation of the motor 33 will cause the screw 331 to rotate, and the moving plate 31 will move outside the screw 331 and the guide rod 34 to adjust the position of the infrared monitoring imager 32. Thus, the infrared monitoring imager 32 is used to monitor the leak prevention of natural gas in the natural gas storage tank 1. At the same time, the pressure gauge 21 on the control box 2 can monitor the pressure of natural gas inside the natural gas storage tank 1, and the natural gas intensity sensor 23 inside the natural gas storage tank 1 can monitor the intensity of natural gas inside, thereby improving the monitoring effect of the natural gas storage tank 1 and making the monitoring data more accurate.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
