Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alarm system technology, specifically an automated water ingress alarm system for a large warehouse. Background Technology
[0002] An automated flooding alarm system for cargo holds is a system used to detect changes in water level inside a ship's cargo hold and automatically issue an alarm signal when the water level reaches a preset danger height. This system ensures ship safety and prevents major accidents caused by flooding of the cargo hold.
[0003] In actual ship operation, if the hatch covers of cargo holds are not sealed tightly, seawater or rainwater may seep into the cargo hold through gaps, or some cargo itself may contain high moisture content, resulting in a small amount of water accumulation inside the cargo hold. This water accumulation usually does not pose a threat to the safety of the cargo or the ship. However, because ships are prone to rolling during navigation, the water level fluctuates greatly, and the internal detectors are affected by the large range of water flow fluctuations, leading to inaccurate water level measurements and a high risk of false alarms even with small amounts of water accumulation. Furthermore, the detectors are often difficult to assemble, have a non-compact structure, and are inconvenient for subsequent maintenance, failing to meet usage requirements. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated water ingress alarm system for large cargo holds to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] This utility model discloses an automated water ingress alarm system for a large warehouse, according to the attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an alarm control box 1, a detector body 2, a large warehouse base plate 3, a limit frame 4, and a mounting base 5;
[0033] The alarm control box 1 is located at the target alarm ground position, and the alarm control box 1 is equipped with detector cables 11. The alarm control box 1 is the control center of the entire system, responsible for receiving signals from the detector body 2 and processing these signals to determine whether to trigger the alarm. It contains signal processing circuits and an alarm logic control module.
[0034] The alarm control box 1 is typically installed at the target alarm location on the ground, such as in the driver's cab or a place easily observed by the crew. It is connected to the detector body 2 via detector cable 11 to receive water level signals.
[0035] The detector body 2 is mounted on the detector cable 11. The detector body 2 is a component that detects changes in water level.

Typically, an ultrasonic sensor is used to detect water level height information.
[0036] The detector body 2 has a threaded portion 21, which connects to the internal thread of the mounting base 5. The threaded connection between the detector body 2 and the mounting base 5 ensures a secure installation. The detector body 2 is located inside the main storage area and transmits signals to the alarm control box 1 via the detector cable 11. The threaded connection 21 facilitates the installation and removal of the detector body 2, and makes it easy to maintain and replace.
[0037] The base plate 3 is located inside the large tank. The base plate 3 has an outer cover 31 and an inner cover 32, both of which have perforated slots. Multiple sets of perforated slots on the outer cover 31 and inner cover 32 are distributed in an alternating direction. The base plate 3 serves as the foundation for the detector body 2, while the outer cover 31 and inner cover 32 are designed to shield and buffer the water flow. The perforated slot design allows water to pass through while reducing the amplitude of water flow fluctuations, thereby improving the stability of the detector body 2 in detecting water level height, enhancing alarm accuracy, and reducing false alarms.
[0038] The limiting bracket 4 is mounted on the outer casing 31; the limiting bracket 4 is used to fix the position of the mounting base 5, ensuring that the detector body 2 can be accurately installed in the predetermined position. The mounting base 5 provides support and fixation for the detector body 2.
[0039] Mounting base 5 is mounted on limiting frame 4 and is used to support detector body 2. The design of limiting frame 4 and mounting base 5 makes the installation of detector more flexible and stable, and facilitates adjustment and maintenance.
[0040] The outer casing 31 has a sleeve 6 on its side, and the limiting frame 4 is movably engaged inside the sleeve 6.

[0048] The outer cover 31 has a sleeve 6 on its side, and the limiting frame 4 is movably engaged inside the sleeve 6. The sleeve 6 is provided with a locking mechanism 7 for limiting the position of the limiting frame 4. The locking mechanism 7 is used to fix the position of the limiting frame 4 inside the sleeve 6 to prevent it from loosening or shifting.
[0049] The limiting frame 4 has a locking groove 41, and the locking mechanism 7 includes:
[0050] Rotating plate 71 is rotatably connected to sleeve 6;
[0051] The snap-fit connector 72 is located at the end of the rotating plate 71 and is movably snapped into the inside of the locking groove 41;
