[0017] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model.
[0018] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this utility model proposes a liquid ammonia storage tank leak detection mechanism, including a support 12 and multiple detectors 51 for detecting ammonia gas.

A water storage pool 1 is provided around the bottom of the liquid ammonia storage tank 5, and the support 12 is installed in the water storage pool 1. When a leak occurs and water is sprayed, the water pool 1 can effectively store water, preventing the sprayed water from flowing out and facilitating the recycling of wastewater after ammonia gas adsorption. Multiple detectors 51 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the liquid ammonia storage tank 5, which can perform all-round leak detection of the liquid ammonia storage tank 5.
[0019] A top plate 4 is horizontally installed along the length of the liquid ammonia storage tank 5.

Two symmetrically arranged tilting plates 6 are located on the left and right sides of the top plate 4. The tilting plates 6 are arc-shaped, and their edges are rotatably connected to the edges of the top plate 4. A tilting drive assembly is installed on the poles 3, connected to the two tilting plates 6, and used to drive the two tilting plates 6 to rotate synchronously downwards to the sides of the liquid ammonia storage tank 5. Multiple spray heads 62 are installed at the bottom of the tilting plates 6, and these spray heads 62 are connected to a water supply mechanism.

The water inlet 61 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 21 via a water pipe, and the inlet of the water pump 21 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 2. Water from water tank 2 is pumped by water pump 21 through a water pipe into the water delivery chamber 60 inside the tilting plate 6. Water mist is then sprayed outwards from the spray head 62, effectively absorbing leaked ammonia gas. The water pipe is a flexible connecting pipe, which delivers water to the tilting plate 6 without affecting its tilting action. A drain outlet 11 is provided on the lower side wall of the water storage tank 1. The drain outlet 11 is connected to a recovery system via a control valve 111. This recovery system can recycle the water containing ammonia gas, improving resource utilization.
[0020] When the turnover plate 6 is in a non-spraying operation state, the turnover driving assembly is lifted to be on both sides of the top plate 4, at this time, the turnover plate 6 plays a role of a ceiling, and can effectively protect the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 below. When the detector 51 detects that the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 leaks, the turnover driving assembly is driven to make the two side turnover plates 6 turn down, so that the two side turnover plates 6 are swung to the left and right sides of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, and then the water pump 21 in the water tank 2 is used to spray water to the spraying head 62 on the inner side of the turnover plate 6, since the turnover plate 6 is designed in an arc shape and can better adapt to the outer wall of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, the water mist sprayed by the spraying head 62 can completely cover the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 from both sides, so that the leaked ammonia gas can be effectively absorbed, and ammonia gas overflow is avoided.
[0021] The turnover driving assembly comprises a hydraulic cylinder 71 and two groups of symmetrically arranged connecting rod mechanisms, the two connecting rod mechanisms are vertically installed on the side ends of the vertical rod 3 and the top plate 4 and are connected with the end faces of the two turnover plates 6; the connecting rod mechanism comprises a first connecting rod 74, a second connecting rod 72 and a swing plate 73, the lower end of the swing plate 73 is rotationally connected to the vertical rod 41 fixedly connected below the top plate 4 through a first rotating shaft, one side of the upper end of the swing plate 73 is rotationally connected to one end of the first connecting rod 74, and the other end of the first connecting rod 74 is rotationally connected below the turnover plate 6 close to the side of the top plate 4; the other side of the upper end of the swing plate 73 is rotationally connected to the upper end of the second connecting rod 72; the hydraulic cylinder 71 is vertically arranged upwards, and the tail part thereof is rotationally installed on the vertical rod 3; the lower ends of the second connecting rods 72 of the two connecting rod mechanisms are rotationally connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 71.
[0022] When a leakage accident occurs, the hydraulic cylinder 71 is contracted downwards, the swing plate 73 is pulled by the second connecting rod 72 to rotate and swing in the direction of the middle vertical rod 3 as the center of the first rotating shaft, and then the first connecting rod 74 drives the turnover plate 6 to rotate and swing downwards to the side of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, water mist is sprayed by the spraying head 62 to absorb ammonia gas, and diffusion is effectively prevented. After the danger of the accident is eliminated, the hydraulic cylinder 71 is elongated upwards, the swing plate 73 is reversely rotated through the second connecting rod 72, the first connecting rod 74 lifts the turnover plate 6 upwards to reset, and thus the quick resetting operation of the turnover plate 6 is completed, and the use is very convenient.
[0023] When the detector 51 detects that the liquid ammonia storage tank 5 leaks, the control system controls the hydraulic cylinder 71 to contract, the second connecting rod 72, the swing plate 73 and the first connecting rod 74 are cooperatively connected and driven to make the turnover plate 6 rotate and swing downwards, so that the turnover plate 6 is rotated to the left and right sides of the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5, and then the water pump 21 in the water tank 2 is used to spray water to the spraying head 62 on the inner side of the turnover plate 6, the water mist sprayed by the spraying head 62 can completely cover the liquid nitrogen storage tank 5 from both sides, so that the leaked ammonia gas can be effectively absorbed, and ammonia gas overflow is avoided.
