Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pressure alarm devices, and in particular to a pressure alarm device for a natural gas storage device. Background Technology
[0002] A pressure alarm device for natural gas storage equipment is a safety device used to monitor the internal pressure of gas storage equipment in real time and trigger an alarm when the pressure exceeds the safe range. Its core function is to prevent accidents such as leakage and explosion caused by abnormal pressure (too high or too low).
[0003] A search of Chinese patent publication number "CN217559582U" reveals "a pressure alarm device for a natural gas storage device". By using a three-way connecting pipe to connect the pressure gauge and the device box, the normal use of the existing pressure gauge is ensured. The alarm is triggered by the sealing block connected by a spring in the device box, thereby realizing on-site alarm. At the same time, the position of the contact switch can be adjusted by using a screw, thereby adjusting the alarm threshold, making it more adaptable.
[0004] Based on the above search and existing technology, it was found that the above patent has certain defects. Currently, traditional pressure alarm devices usually rely on strain gauges to detect the internal pressure of natural gas storage equipment. However, since the strain gauge is based on the strain effect of metal, when the metal material undergoes mechanical deformation, its resistance value will change with the strain. But this device has a defect, that is, it is difficult to maintain the internal metal strain gauge in a constant and stable temperature environment for pressure measurement, which interferes with the original stable relationship between the resistance value of the metal strain gauge and the strain, resulting in deviations in the measurement data and insufficient accuracy, which needs to be improved.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] The stabilizing structure includes a semiconductor thermostat, with first transmission wires symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the semiconductor thermostat, a conductive plate between the two first transmission wires, and a support at the lower end of the semiconductor thermostat.
[0011] Preferably, the conductive plate is located inside the bracket, the bracket is fixedly installed with the conductive plate, and temperature conductive wires are symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the conductive plate.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Firstly, by setting a stable structure, when the temperature of the conductive plate changes significantly, the semiconductor thermostat will be activated and change the temperature of the conductive plate through the first transmission wire.

[0023] This application provides a pressure alarm device for a natural gas storage device, effectively solving the technical problem of inaccurate measurement in existing devices. By setting a stable structure, when the temperature of the conductive plate changes significantly, the semiconductor thermostat will be activated and change the temperature of the conductive plate through the first transmission wire.

[0024] Example
[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem of inaccurate measurement in existing devices. The overall idea is as follows:
[0026] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a pressure alarm device for a natural gas storage device, including a pressure alarm device body 11, a fixed frame 12 at the lower end of the pressure alarm device body 11, a strain gauge pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and a PCB board (the PCB board is used to complete automated control) inside the fixed frame 12, a threaded rod 13 at the lower end of the fixed frame 12, a strain gauge 14 at the lower end of the threaded rod 13, a through groove 15 inside the threaded rod 13, and a stabilizing structure threadedly installed at the lower end of the fixed frame 12.
[0027] The stable structure includes a semiconductor thermostat 16, with first transmission wires 17 symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the semiconductor thermostat 16, a conductive plate 18 between the two first transmission wires 17, and a bracket 19 at the lower end of the semiconductor thermostat 16.
[0028] By setting a stable structure, when the temperature of the conductive plate 18 changes significantly, the semiconductor thermostat 16 will be activated and change the temperature of the conductive plate 18 through the first transmission wire 17. The conductive plate 18 then transmits the cold temperature to the strain gauge 14 through the temperature transmission line 21, thereby keeping the strain gauge 14 at a constant temperature. This effectively avoids the impact of temperature changes on the measurement accuracy of the strain gauge 14 and greatly improves the accuracy of pressure measurement.
[0029] The conductive plate 18 is located inside the bracket 19. The bracket 19 is fixedly installed with the conductive plate 18. Temperature conductive lines 21 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the conductive plate 18. Both temperature conductive lines 21 are fixedly installed with the strain gauge 14. Both temperature conductive lines 21 can transfer the temperature of the conductive plate 18 to the strain gauge 14.
[0030] By using two temperature conduction wires 21 to transfer the temperature of the conduction plate 18 to the strain gauge 14, the use of flexible wires for temperature transfer avoids the other effects on the conduction plate 18 caused by traditional mechanical connections, thereby further improving accuracy.
[0031] The upper end of the strain gauge 14 is provided with a second transmission wire 22, which is connected to the strain pressure sensor inside the fixture 12. The upper end of the strain gauge 14 is fixedly installed with a third transmission wire 23, which is connected to the temperature sensor. The third transmission wire 23 can transmit the current temperature of the strain gauge 14 to the temperature sensor.
[0032] The pressure alarm device body 11 has a data dial 24 on its surface and a warning light 25 on its upper end. The warning light 25 can change between three colors: red, green and yellow.
[0033] By setting the data dial 24, the current status of natural gas pressure can be understood. By setting the warning light 25, staff can intuitively understand the internal condition of the natural gas storage equipment.
[0034] Working principle: When using the natural gas pressure alarm device, the operator must first perform the installation operation. Using the threaded rod 13, the pressure alarm device body 11 is securely installed on the natural gas storage equipment. After installation, the power supply to the pressure alarm device body 11 is turned on to put it into working state. When the device is powered on, the pressure inside the natural gas storage equipment acts on the strain gauge 14, causing it to deform to a certain extent. According to the strain effect of the material, the resistance of the strain gauge 14 will change with the deformation. These changes are transmitted to the strain pressure sensor through the second transmission wire 22. After receiving the data, the strain pressure sensor performs a series of signal processing and calculations to complete the accurate measurement of the pressure inside the natural gas storage equipment.
[0035] Secondly, the device also has the function of monitoring and controlling the temperature of strain gauge 14. The third transmission line 23 is responsible for transmitting the real-time temperature data of strain gauge 14 to the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor has a reasonable threshold preset inside (this threshold is determined according to the ambient temperature at which strain gauge 14 can maintain the most stable working state). When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of strain gauge 14 exceeds the set threshold, the semiconductor thermostat 16 will be automatically activated. After the semiconductor thermostat 16 is activated, it changes the temperature of the conductive plate 18 through the first transmission line 17. The conductive plate 18 then transmits the cold temperature to strain gauge 14 through the temperature conduction line 21, so that strain gauge 14 is always maintained at a constant temperature. In this way, the measurement accuracy of strain gauge 14 can be effectively avoided due to temperature changes, and the accuracy of pressure measurement is greatly improved.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
