[0030] This application provides an online monitoring system for oil and gas recovery in tank trucks to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot monitor oil and gas leaks during transportation in real time, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of oil and gas leaks in tank trucks and effectively suppressing VOCs leakage or disorderly emissions.

[0031] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the aforementioned crosstalk problem, and the overall approach is as follows:

[0032] By configuring temperature and pressure sensors on manhole cover 5, a first open / closed status monitoring sensor and a VOCs concentration real-time monitoring sensor on vent valve 2, a second open / closed status monitoring sensor on oil and gas recovery valve 3, and a third open / closed status monitoring sensor on emergency shut-off valve 7, an online monitoring system is formed to ensure the detection of oil and gas leaks in tank trucks at all times.

[0033] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the oil tanker oil vapor recovery device in this embodiment includes a tank body 1, a vent valve 2, an oil vapor recovery valve 3, an overflow prevention probe 4, a manhole cover 5, an overflow prevention socket 6, an emergency shut-off valve 7, a drain valve 8, an oil vapor recovery connector 9, a power switch 10, a main control panel 11, an air compressor 12, and a main control system 13.

[0036] The manhole cover 5 is installed on the tank body 1, and a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are installed on it.

[0037] The vent valve 2 is connected to the gas phase pipeline of the tank 1, and is equipped with a first opening and closing status monitoring sensor and a VOCs concentration real-time monitoring sensor.

[0038] The oil and gas recovery valve 3 is installed on the manhole cover 5, and a second opening and closing status monitoring sensor is configured on it.

[0039] The emergency shut-off valve 7 is installed on the tank body 1, and a third opening and closing status monitoring sensor is configured on it.

[0040] The main controller is used to integrate the terminal controller to collect signals transmitted by the temperature sensor, pressure sensor, first open / closed state monitoring sensor, VOCs concentration real-time monitoring sensor, second open / closed state monitoring sensor, and third open / closed state monitoring sensor, and display them on the main control screen 11.

[0041] In some embodiments, the manhole cover 5 is retrofitted to be configured with temperature and pressure sensors to determine whether the tank has abnormal overpressure or pressure loss by monitoring the temperature and pressure in the tank in real time. Figure 4a , 4b As shown in the drawings, preferably, the temperature and pressure sensors are installed at the reserved hole of the manhole cover.

[0042] In some embodiments, the main function of the vent valve 2 in the oil vapor recovery system is to exhaust the residual gas in the gas phase pipeline after loading and unloading is completed. The vent valve is closed during the loading and unloading process to ensure the airtightness of the system. During normal transportation, the vent valve 2 is opened to prevent the accumulation of oil vapor in the gas phase pipeline. In this embodiment, the vent valve 2 is configured with a first opening and closing state monitoring sensor and a VOCs concentration real-time monitoring sensor, so that it has the ability to monitor the opening and closing state and the VOCs concentration in real time. The existence of abnormal leakage in the oil vapor recovery system can be determined by monitoring the concentration of the vent valve 2. As shown in the drawings, Figure 5a , 5b The first opening and closing state monitoring sensor is composed of small line board component probes, and the VOCs concentration real-time monitoring sensor is composed of line board component probes. Both are installed above and on the side of the fixed seat, and the fixed seat is integrally installed on the valve body shell. The signal feedback source magnet matched with the sensor is installed on the movable valve stem, the inductive magnet is installed in the magnet fixed seat, the magnet fixed seat is installed on the movable valve stem, and the movable valve stem is moved back and forth. The distance between the two is used to achieve the inductive effect, and the collected data is transmitted to the main control.

[0043] In some embodiments, the oil vapor recovery valve 3 is the valve connecting the tank and the gas phase pipeline of the oil vapor recovery system. In this embodiment, the oil vapor recovery valve 3 is configured with a second opening and closing state monitoring sensor, so that it has the function of monitoring the opening and closing state. If the oil vapor recovery valve 3 is closed and the VOCs value of the vent valve is abnormal, it can be determined that the sealing performance of the oil vapor recovery valve 3 has been lost. As shown in the drawings, Figure 6a , 6b The second opening and closing state monitoring sensor is composed of small line board component probes and is fixedly installed in the small valve cover on the top of the valve body. The signal feedback source magnet matched with the sensor is installed on the movable valve stem, the inductive magnet is installed in the magnet fixed seat, the magnet fixed seat is installed on the movable valve stem, and the movable valve stem is moved back and forth. The distance between the two is used to achieve the inductive effect, and the collected data is transmitted to the main control.

[0044] In some embodiments, the emergency shut-off valve 7 belongs to the bottom loading system component of the oil vapor recovery system and is the valve connecting the tank and the liquid phase loading and unloading pipeline. In this embodiment, the emergency shut-off valve 7 is configured with a third opening and closing state monitoring sensor, so that it has the function of monitoring the opening and closing state to monitor whether the tank truck is in the loading / unloading state. As shown in the drawings, Figure 7a , 7bAs shown, the third opening and closing state monitoring sensor is a small circuit board component probe and the like, fixedly installed in the inner cover, and the circuit board fixing support is made of 304 stainless steel sheet metal part. The signal feedback source magnet matched with the sensor is installed on the movable valve rod, and the movable valve rod is moved back and forth to realize the inductive effect according to the distance between the two, and the collected data is transmitted to the main control.

[0045] In some embodiments, the main control screen 11 is a human-computer interaction terminal, which integrates a terminal controller to collect signals transmitted by various valve sensors, analyzes the signals, and displays the signals on the main control screen 11. The main control screen 11 reserves an Internet of Things interface and a maintenance interface, and can be connected to various environmental protection platforms in the future.

[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0047] The online monitoring system in the embodiments of the present application can effectively monitor the oil tank after the oil tank truck oil gas recovery system is detected, so as to prevent oil gas from escaping. The Internet of Things interface reserved by the main control screen can realize platformized real-time monitoring and provide effective technical support for the ecological environment department.

[0048] The running alarm logic of the main control screen and the main controller is described according to the oil tank truck loading / unloading operation state and the normal transportation operation state to elaborate the action process of the application scheme:

[0049] (1) Oil tank truck loading / unloading operation state

[0050] In the loading / unloading state, the oil gas recovery valve 3 is in an open state, connecting the gas phase space of the oil tank and the oil tank truck; the emergency shut-off valve 7 is in an open state, connecting the liquid phase space of the oil tank and the oil tank truck; and the breather valve 2 is in a closed state, cutting off the connection between the gas phase pipeline and the atmosphere. The VOCs sensor of the breather valve 2 should collect a value not greater than 500 μmol / mol at all times in the loading / unloading state.

[0051] At this time, if the oil tank truck is loading oil in the oil storage depot, when the pressure of the manhole cover 5 pressure sensor exceeds 6 kPa, the main control screen issues a warning: the oil loading rate is too fast, and the pressure in the tank will exceed the opening pressure of the breather valve, please reduce the oil loading rate or increase the recovery rate; if the oil tank truck is unloading oil at the gas station, when the pressure of the manhole cover 5 pressure sensor exceeds -2 kPa, the main control screen issues a warning: the oil unloading rate is too fast, and the pressure in the tank will exceed the opening pressure of the breather valve, please reduce the oil unloading rate or increase the pressure of the inert gas supplement (if the breather valve is continuously opened under negative pressure, a high-concentration mixture of air and oil gas will be formed in the tank, which will cause serious safety hazards).

[0052] When the loading / unloading state ends, the oil vapor recovery valve 3 is in the closed state, cutting off the gas phase space of the oil tank and the tank truck; the emergency cut-off valve 7 is in the closed state, cutting off the liquid phase space of the oil tank and the tank truck; and the breather valve 2 is in the open state, connecting the gas phase pipeline with the atmosphere. When the loading / unloading state ends, the VOCs sensor of the breather valve 2 should have a short-term high concentration, and at this time, no alarm is needed, and the value should not be greater than 500 μmol / mol after 5 minutes.

[0053] (2) Normal transportation operation state

[0054] The normal transportation operation state is the state after the loading / unloading ends, and each valve should keep the state at the end of loading / unloading until the next oil loading / unloading. When the normal transportation operation state is in the normal transportation operation state, the temperature and pressure sensors of the manhole cover 5 collect the temperature and pressure in the tank in real time. When the temperature and pressure curves are highly positively correlated, it is assumed that the pressure abnormality of the tank is caused by the change of the ambient temperature, and no alarm is needed. When the temperature is basically unchanged and the pressure is abnormal (the pressure is reduced due to the tank leakage), if the VOCs sensor of the breather valve 2 collects a value not greater than 500 μmol / mol, the main control screen issues a warning: the sealing performance of the tank is invalid, please stop transportation immediately, and after the tank is safely emptied, the airtightness detection of the oil vapor recovery system is performed; if the VOCs sensor of the breather valve 2 collects a value greater than 500 μmol / mol, the main control screen issues a warning: the sealing performance of the oil vapor recovery valve 3 is invalid, please stop transportation immediately, and after the tank is safely emptied, the airtightness detection of the oil vapor recovery system is performed.

[0055] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art can make further changes and modifications to the embodiments once they know the basic inventive concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0056] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present disclosure fall within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure and their equivalent technologies, the present disclosure also intends to include these modifications and variations.
