The device acquires real-time images of the vehicle exhaust pipe through a visual monitoring component (camera) and transmits the signals to the controller. The controller analyzes and judges the data through a preset algorithm and program. Once continuous leakage of oil from the exhaust pipe is detected, it can immediately control the alarm to issue an audible and visual alarm.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 The present invention will be further described in terms of the embodiments and implementation methods.
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] A vehicle exhaust pipe leakage monitoring device for refueling at a gas station includes a fuel dispenser 1, characterized in that: a height adjustment component 2 is provided on the refueling side of the fuel dispenser 1, the height adjustment component 2 is used to adjust the height according to the height of the vehicle's exhaust pipe, and an alarm is provided on the height adjustment component 2, the alarm being an audible and visual alarm.
[0022] It also includes a visual monitoring component 3, which is provided on each of the height adjustment components 2. The visual monitoring component 3 transmits data with the controller, and the controller controls the alarm. When the visual monitoring component 3 detects that a vehicle's exhaust pipe is continuously leaking oil, the controller can control the alarm to sound an alarm.
[0023] In this embodiment, by setting a height adjustment component 2 on the refueling side of the fuel dispenser 1, the height adjustment component 2 can drive the visual monitoring component 3 to move. The visual monitoring component 3 automatically identifies the exhaust pipe. When the visual monitoring component 3 reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, the height adjustment component 2 stops driving the visual monitoring component 3 to move. The visual monitoring component 3 continuously monitors the condition of the exhaust pipe during the refueling process. When the visual monitoring component 3 detects continuous oil leakage from the exhaust pipe, it transmits the monitoring data to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller issues an alarm. The alarm is existing technology and is not shown in the figure or described in detail. This alerts staff and vehicle owners, achieving a protective function.
[0024] The height adjustment component 2 includes a first support frame 21, which is connected to a second bracket 29 via a telescopic module. The lower ends of the second bracket 29 are respectively provided with wheels 291 to assist the movement of the second bracket 29.
[0025] In this embodiment, the height adjustment component 2 is connected by a first support frame 21 and a second bracket 29 via a telescopic module. Wheels 291 at both ends of the lower side of the second bracket 29 facilitate smoother movement of the second bracket 29 under the action of the telescopic module. When the telescopic module is in operation, it pushes the second bracket 29 to move, and the wheels 291 provide auxiliary support and movement, thereby achieving stable raising and lowering of the height adjustment component 2.
[0026] The telescopic module includes an electric push rod 22, a slider 23, a straight groove rod 24, a first connecting rod 25, a second connecting rod 26, a hinge block 27, a roller 292, and a roller track 293. The first connecting rod 25 and the second connecting rod 26 are multiple and arranged in an X-shape along a straight line. The ends of adjacent first connecting rods 25 and second connecting rods 26 are hinged to each other, and the middle parts of the X-shaped first connecting rods 25 and second connecting rods 26 are rotatably connected to each other. The straight groove rod 24 is fixedly installed at both ends of the upper part of one side of the first support frame 21 corresponding to the second bracket 29. An electric push rod 22 is fixedly installed on the upper side of each straight groove rod 24. The telescopic rod end of each electric push rod 22 is fixedly installed with... The slider 23 is slidably connected to the straight groove rod 24. The first support frame 21 is fixedly provided with the hinge block 27 at both ends of the lower part of one side of the second bracket 29. Each hinge block 27 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 26 at one end. Each slider 23 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 25 at one end. The outer end of the first connecting rod 25 at the other end is rotatably connected to the lower side of the drop bracket. The end of the second connecting rod 26 at the other end is rotatably connected to one side of the roller 292. The roller 292 is rotatably disposed in the roller track 293. The roller track 293 is fixedly connected to the upper two ends of the second bracket 29.
[0027] In this embodiment, after the electric push rod 22 is activated, the slider 23 at the end of the telescopic rod slides on the straight groove rod 24. Since the slider 23 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 25, and the first connecting rod 25 and the second connecting rod 26 are arranged in an X shape with their ends hinged to each other and their middle parts rotatably connected to each other, the movement of the slider 23 will drive the first connecting rod 25 to move. The hinge block 27 at the lower part of the first support frame 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 26, the other end of the first connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the second bracket 29, and the other end of the second connecting rod 26 is rotatably connected to the roller 292. The roller 292 rolls in the roller track 293. The sliding of the slider 23, through the linkage of the first connecting rod 25 and the second connecting rod 26, causes the second bracket 29 to move along the direction of the roller track 293 with the assistance of the roller 292, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the height adjustment component 2. When the height adjustment component 2 needs to extend upwards, the electric push rod 22 is activated. The electric push rod 22 pushes the slider 23 to slide on the straight groove rod 24. Through the linkage of the connecting rod, the second bracket 29 moves outwards along the roller track 293 until the visual monitoring component 3 reaches the height position of the exhaust pipe. At this time, the controller controls the electric push rod 22 to stop working. When the height adjustment component 2 needs to lower the visual monitoring component 3, the controller controls the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 22 to retract, causing the slider 23 to slide in the opposite direction, driving the second bracket 29 to retract.
[0028] The telescopic module also includes a reinforcing rod 28, which is used to fix the upper and lower parts of the first connecting rod 25 together.
[0029] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rod 28 connects the upper and lower parts of the opposing first connecting rod 25. When the telescopic module is working, it shares the force on the first connecting rod 25, enhances the stability of the first connecting rod 25, and prevents the first connecting rod 25 from deforming or being damaged during the telescopic process.
[0030] The visual monitoring component 3 is a camera, and the controller is electrically connected to the electric push rod 22.
[0031] The camera, as a visual monitoring component 3, captures image information of the exhaust pipe through its lens, converts it into electrical or digital signals, and transmits them to the controller. The controller analyzes and processes these signals to determine whether the visual monitoring component 3 has reached the height of the exhaust pipe, and thus decides whether to control the height adjustment component 2 to stop moving, so as to realize the continuous monitoring of the exhaust pipe by the visual monitoring component 3.
[0032] When the camera is in normal working condition, it collects image information in real time and transmits it to the controller. When the camera collects abnormal image information such as continuous oil leakage from the exhaust pipe and transmits it to the controller, the controller will activate the alarm based on the analysis results.
[0033] The method of using this utility model is as follows:
[0034] After the equipment is installed at the gas station, turn on the system power to enable the visual monitoring component 3 (camera), controller, and electric push rod 22 in the telescopic module to enter normal working condition. The camera begins to collect image information around the fuel dispenser 1 in real time and converts it into electrical or digital signals, which are continuously transmitted to the controller. The controller analyzes and processes these signals in real time to monitor the surrounding environment of the fuel dispenser 1 at all times.
[0035] When the vehicle is refueling, the height adjustment component 2 controls the camera to adjust its height to the height of the exhaust pipe and continuously monitor the exhaust pipe of the vehicle during refueling. When the camera captures information about continuous oil leakage from the vehicle's exhaust pipe, it transmits this information to the controller. The controller analyzes and judges the image signal through preset algorithms and programs. If it confirms that there is a risk of continuous oil leakage, it immediately sends an activation command to the alarm, which then sounds an alarm to alert the staff.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
