[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process for safety protection of air compressor rooms in this new type of system.

[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the process for providing safe heat protection for precious liquid pumps. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] This novel safety protection system is based on the automated retrofitting of air compressors and precious liquid pumps, such as... Figure 1 , 2As shown, the system includes a host computer, a display screen, a PLC controller, and an alarm mechanism. The host computer is electrically connected to the power module and, via wires, to the display screen and the PLC controller. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the control circuits of the air compressor and the precious liquid pump via wires. The alarm mechanism includes an alarm unit one used in conjunction with the air compressor and an alarm unit two used in conjunction with the precious liquid pump. Both alarm units are electrically connected to the PLC controller. Safety monitoring information can be displayed on the display screen in the form of images or data. The PLC controller can remotely control the air compressor and the precious liquid pump, read equipment information of the air compressor and the precious liquid pump, promptly detect and handle fault information, and achieve real-time management of equipment energy consumption, operating efficiency, and faults. The alarm mechanism monitors hazardous factors in the air compressor room and the precious liquid pump room and provides alarms.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the alarm unit includes a smoke sensor (not shown) located in the air compressor room and a carbon monoxide sensor (not shown) located at the air compressor outlet pipe. The smoke sensor and carbon monoxide sensor are respectively connected to the PLC controller via wires. This enables early warning and safety protection against fire in the air compressor room.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the second alarm unit includes an audible and visual alarm mounted on the housing of the precious liquid pump. The audible and visual alarm is electrically connected to the PLC controller via wires. Before starting the precious liquid pump, the audible and visual alarm is activated to prevent injury to personnel near the pump from its activation.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the second alarm unit also includes a vibration sensor mounted on the base of the precious liquid pump. The vibration sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller via a wire. The vibration sensor measures the intensity of vibration in the motor and pump, thereby monitoring the condition of the pump bearings and replacing them promptly when damaged, thus extending the service life of the precious liquid pump.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the host computer is connected to a control panel via wires. The control panel includes control buttons for the air compressor, the precious liquid pump, and an audible and visual alarm activation button. The control panel can be located in the dispatch room and controlled by designated personnel.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2As shown, the air compressor room is equipped with a camera (not shown) and a speaker (not shown). The camera and speaker are electrically connected to the PLC controller via wires. To prevent human-caused hazards, the camera is installed to monitor and manage the critical equipment in the air compressor room, and the speaker is used to issue warning messages. The camera can also be used to help trace the causes of potential hazards.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the pump room for the precious liquid pump is equipped with a second camera (not shown in the figure) and a second speaker (not shown in the figure). The second camera and the second speaker are electrically connected to the PLC controller via wires. The principle is the same as in the above embodiment.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the surface of the air compressor casing. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller via a wire. The temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the air compressor casing surface, allowing the host computer to determine whether a fault has occurred, and also to assess whether the air compressor's heat recovery device is operating normally.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the precious liquid pump has a second temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) on its casing surface. This second temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller via wires. The second temperature sensor detects the surface temperature of the precious liquid pump to prevent overheating and fire risks. Simultaneously, since blockage at the pump's inlet or outlet is a major cause of overheating, the second temperature sensor also assists in detecting the presence of such blockage hazards. If the precious liquid pump overheats, it should be immediately shut down remotely and personnel should perform on-site maintenance.
