Description
Technical Field

In such cases, restarting the seismic source engine requires at least three people to bleed the engine. Bleeding can easily cause battery cracking and damage to engine starting equipment, wasting manpower and time, and causing varying degrees of engine damage, thus hindering efficient production.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] Seismic source engines are widely used in onshore seismic exploration, serving as a crucial core power output component in various controllable seismic source systems. During seismic exploration operations, seismic source vehicles are distributed across field sites, requiring refueling from individual tanker trucks. Due to the complex terrain, refueling is time-consuming, and even in Beijing, situations arise where vehicles run out of diesel fuel and stall due to delayed refueling. In such cases, restarting the seismic source engine requires at least three people to bleed the engine. Bleeding can easily cause battery cracking and damage to engine starting equipment, wasting manpower and time, and causing varying degrees of engine damage, thus hindering efficient production.
[0028] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a new type of seismic source engine fuel protection device.
[0029] This utility model provides a fuel protection device for a seismic source engine, which has the technical effects of safety, convenience and efficiency, and avoids the seismic source engine from shutting down due to fuel exhaustion, thereby protecting the seismic source engine.
[0030] This utility model provides a seismic source engine fuel protection device, which includes: a housing body 1 with an internal accommodating space; a fixing component 2, disposed on the housing body 1 and detachably connected to the housing body 1; a control component 3, disposed on the fixing component 2 and electrically connected to the seismic source engine switch; an alarm component 4, disposed on the fixing component 2, including a prompting component 41 and an indicator component 42, which are respectively disposed on the fixing component 2 and electrically connected to the control component 3; a delay component 5, disposed on the fixing component 2 and electrically connected to the control component 3; and a sensing component 6, one end of which is disposed inside the seismic source engine and the other end of which is electrically connected to the control component 3.
[0031] Specifically, the seismic source engine fuel protection device includes: a housing body 1, a fixing component 2, a control component 3, an alarm component 4, a delay component 5, and a sensing component 6. The control component 3, the alarm component 4, the delay component 5, and the sensing component 6 are respectively disposed on the fixing component 2. The fixing component 2 is detachably installed inside the housing body 1 to protect the devices installed inside the housing body 1. The control component 3 is electrically connected to the engine switching power supply, the alarm component 4, the delay component 5, and the sensing component 6. The sensing component 6 is used to receive the current fuel level inside the seismic source engine and transmit the fuel level information to the control component 3. When the fuel level information is lower than a preset value, the control component 3 sends a command to the alarm component 4, causing the prompting component 41 and the indicating component 42 of the alarm component 4 to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the staff that the fuel consumption is about to reach the set position. After the delay component 5 is energized for a preset time, the control component 3 receives the fuel level information inside the seismic source engine and continues to decrease. The control component 3 then controls the switching power supply of the seismic source engine to disconnect. This device can effectively protect the fuel system of the seismic source engine by pre-setting the time, and avoid a series of safety and equipment damage problems caused by the engine running out of fuel and having to be vented during conventional construction operations. This reduces the damage rate of the seismic source engine and its accessories, and improves the safety of project production.
[0032] Optionally, the seismic source engine fuel protection device is installed inside the driver's cab of the seismic source vehicle.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the shell body 1 includes a bottom plate 11, a side plate 12 and a front plate 13. The bottom plate 11 and the front plate 13 are disposed face to face at both ends of the side plate 12. The side plate 12 is connected to the periphery of the bottom plate 11. One side of the side plate 12 is rotatably connected to the front plate 13, and the other side of the side plate 12 is connected to the front plate 13 by a locking member.
[0034] Specifically, the end of the side plate 12 is welded to the periphery of the base plate 11. One side of the side plate 12 is connected to the front plate 13 via a hinge, and the other side of the side plate 12 is connected to the front plate 13 via a locking component. The locking component is a universal lock that can be unlocked with a key, facilitating the opening and closing of the front plate 13 and enabling the installation and removal of the fixing component 2, control component 3, alarm assembly 4, delay component 5, and sensing component 6. The vibration source engine fuel protection device integrates and protects the control component 3, alarm assembly 4, delay component 5, and sensing component 6.
[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing component 2 is connected to the base plate 11 by a plurality of limiting components 14.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, the fixing component 2 is a fixing plate with multiple limiting holes. The limiting component 14 includes a limiting nut 141 and a screw 142. The limiting nut 141 is disposed on the base plate 11, and the screw 142 passes through the limiting hole and is connected to the limiting nut 141.
[0037] In some alternative embodiments, the prompting component 41 is an alarm bell, which is connected to the fixing component 2 by a bolt assembly.
[0038] Specifically, the sensing component 6 is installed inside the vibrating source engine. When the diesel fuel inside the vibrating source engine drops to the set oil level, the sensing component 6 is activated, triggering a signal that the oil level inside the vibrating source engine has reached a low state. At the moment the sensing component 6 is activated, the prompting component 41 emits a sound to remind the driver that the diesel fuel is low and that the driver needs to drive to flat terrain to wait for refueling.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the indicator component 42 is an indicator light, which is connected to the fixing component 2 by a bolt assembly.
[0040] Specifically, the sensing component 6 is installed inside the vibrating source engine. When the diesel fuel inside the vibrating source engine drops to the set oil level, the sensing component 6 is activated, triggering a signal that the oil level inside the vibrating source engine has reached a low state. The indicator component 42 sends out a red signal to remind the driver that the diesel fuel is low and that the driver needs to drive to flat terrain to wait for refueling.
[0041] In some alternative embodiments, the delay component 5 is a delay relay.
[0042] Specifically, the moment the sensing component 6 is turned on, the delay component 5 starts to work. The set time of the delay component 5 is 10 minutes. If the vibrating engine is still running when the set 10-minute countdown ends and it is shut down and waiting for refueling, the output terminal of the delay relay will be connected to the power supply of the vibrating engine, sending a forced shutdown signal to the engine. The vibrating engine will shut down urgently after 10 seconds.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the sensing component 6 is disposed inside the vibratory source engine. The sensing component 6 includes a fixed joint 61, a hollow rod 62, a float 63, a stroke rod 64, and a pin 65. The fixed joint 61 is disposed on the outer wall of the vibratory source engine. One end of the hollow rod 62 is connected to the fixed joint 61, and the other end of the hollow rod 62 is connected to the float 63. One end of the stroke rod 64 is connected to the float 63, and the other end of the stroke rod 64 is connected to the pin 65.
[0044] Specifically, the sensing component 6 is installed inside the oil tank of the vibrating source engine. When the diesel fuel inside the vibrating source engine drops to the set oil level, the sensing component 6 is activated, triggering a signal that the oil level inside the vibrating source engine has reached a low state.
[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing connector 61 includes a cable connector 611 and a fixing element 612, which are arranged in an array. One end of the cable connector 611 is electrically connected to the control component 3, and the other end of the cable connector 611 is connected to a hollow rod 62, which passes through the fixing element 612.
[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the central axis of the cable connector 611 coincides with the central axis of the fixing element 612, and the cable connector 611 is welded to the fixing element 612.
[0047] Specifically, the seismic source engine fuel protection device is installed in the driver's cab of the seismic source vehicle. The sensing component 6 is installed and fixed inside the seismic source engine fuel tank. When the diesel fuel level in the engine fuel tank is sufficient, the float 63 is at the upper dead point of the travel rod 64, the circuit is broken, and no electrical signal is sent to the driver's cab of the seismic source vehicle, thus preventing the seismic source engine fuel protection device from being triggered. When the fuel level in the seismic source engine fuel tank is lower than the float 63, the float 63 is at the lower dead point of the travel rod 64, the circuit between the sensing component 6 and the control component 3 is connected, triggering the control component 3. The sensing component 6 provides the control component 3 with a trigger signal indicating that the fuel level in the tank has reached a low state. The sensing component 6 and the control component 3 are connected by a two-wire cable for sensor electrical signal transmission. The fixed connector 61 is installed in the fuel tank by threading, or by welding. Since the hollow rod 62 has a closed space inside, placing the two-wire cable inside the hollow rod 62 avoids damage to the wiring due to long-term immersion in oil. The stroke rod 64 is threaded to the end of the hollow rod 62. The float 63 can be inside the stroke rod 64 and floats up and down with the oil level in the tank. When the float 63 is at the upper limit of the stroke rod 64, the circuit is broken. When the float 63 is at the lower limit of the stroke rod 64, the sensing component 6 and the control component 3 are connected by a two-wire cable, and the sensing component 6 sends a trigger signal to the control component 3. The pin 65 prevents the float 63 from falling off.
[0048] The working principle of the seismic engine fuel protection device is as follows: when there is enough diesel in the fuel tank, the float 63 is at the upper dead point of the stroke rod 64, the circuit is broken, and no electrical signal is sent to the controller, thus the protection device will not be triggered. When the diesel level drops to a certain depth, the float 63 is at the lower dead point of the stroke rod 64, the circuit is connected, the sensing component 6 is activated, and the fuel shortage electrical signal is transmitted to the control component 3. The control component 3 receives the trigger signal from the sensing component 6 and sends commands to the indicator component 42 and the prompting component 41. The indicator component 42 immediately lights up, and the prompting component 41 also starts to emit a voice broadcast from the broadcast hole of the housing body 1, prompting the driver of the seismic vehicle to move the vehicle to a flat area to wait for refueling. The delay component 5 also starts to work at the same time as the sensing component 6 is activated. If the driver does not move the seismic vehicle to a flat area and turn off the engine to wait for refueling when the set 10-minute countdown ends, the output of the delay component 5 will be connected, sending a forced shutdown signal to the seismic engine. The seismic engine will shut down in an emergency after 10 seconds. When the vibratory engine is refueled, because the length of our sensing component 6 is 8cm shorter than the engine's diesel fuel inlet pipe, when the vibratory engine is forcibly shut off, there is still a certain volume of diesel fuel in the tank. The diesel fuel is not actually used up, which avoids the vibratory engine from being completely emptied due to the exhaustion of diesel fuel. Therefore, after refueling, the engine can be started directly, thus avoiding various problems caused by the need to empty the engine due to a real lack of diesel fuel. This eliminates engine equipment damage, reduces safety risks, and improves production efficiency.
