Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas detection equipment installation technology, specifically to a convenient installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gas detection device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production or storage of light hydrocarbon gases (such as methane, ethane, and propane), due to their flammable and explosive properties, real-time monitoring is essential to prevent leaks or potential safety risks. Traditional installation methods for gas detectors typically involve securing them to the outside of the gas tank using bolts or welded brackets. In this way, the sensing end of the light hydrocarbon gas detector can be connected to the pipeline or the inside of the tank for gas detection.

[0003] For example, patent CN113236982A discloses a natural gas pipeline leakage detection device, including a first gas pipeline and two second gas pipelines. The two second gas pipelines are connected to the two ends of the first gas pipeline. Flanges are fixedly connected between the two ends of the first gas pipeline and the opposite ends of the two second gas pipelines. Multiple pressure sensors are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the first gas pipeline and the two second gas pipelines. A first leakage detection mechanism is provided between the opposite ends of the two second gas pipelines and the two ends of the first gas pipeline. A second leakage detection mechanism is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the first gas pipeline. The natural gas detectors of the leakage detection mechanisms are all fixed to the pipeline via mounting boxes.

[0004] However, the gas detectors mentioned above are mounted on a collection hood, which is fixed to the pipes by bolts. This means that when inspecting or maintaining the gas detectors, it is necessary to repeatedly remove and reinstall the bolts to open the collection hood. The installation of the gas detectors is complicated and time-consuming, making it inconvenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a convenient installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gas detection device, thereby solving the technical problems of complex operation and long time consumption during the installation of gas detection devices in the prior art, which makes it inconvenient for subsequent maintenance or replacement.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a convenient installation structure, comprising: a mounting base, a connecting structure, and an elastic locking structure. The mounting base is disposed on a connecting medium container and is provided with at least one connecting groove. The connecting structure includes a connector and at least one insert. The connector is used to connect a detection element. At least one insert is connected to the connector and is disposed opposite to the connecting groove, and can be inserted into the connecting groove and locked by rotation or lateral displacement. The elastic locking structure is connected to the connector and can be compressed when the insert is locked to the connecting groove to generate a reverse force that prevents the insert from coming out.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mounting base includes a mounting member and a fixing member. The mounting member is used to connect a medium container, and one side of the mounting member forms an installation area with the connection structure. The fixing member is connected to the mounting member and is disposed around the installation area. A plurality of connection grooves are sequentially disposed on the fixing member.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fastener is configured as a ring structure, and a plurality of connecting grooves are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ring structure. An insert is provided on one side of the connector at a position corresponding to the connecting groove. The plurality of inserts can be inserted into the connecting groove and locked by rotation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the contour of the connecting groove has an insertion section that allows the insert to pass through and a locking section that restricts the insertion from being dislodged; the insert includes a plug and a limiting protrusion, one end of the plug is connected to the connector, and the limiting protrusion is provided on one side of the other end. When one end of the plug and the limiting protrusion are inserted into the connecting groove and rotated in a set locking position, the limiting protrusion is in the locking section.

[0011] In some embodiments, the elastic locking structure includes an abutment plate and a plurality of springs. The abutment plate is disposed opposite to the fixing member, and the plurality of springs are disposed on the side of the abutment plate away from the mounting base, with one end connected to the abutment plate and the other end connected to the connecting member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connector includes a connecting cover and an operating handle, with the insert and resilient locking structure connected to one side of the connecting cover and the operating handle provided on the other side.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connecting cover is provided with an annular protrusion at a corresponding position to the mounting area, the side wall of the connecting cover is provided with a plurality of first heat dissipation holes, and the annular protrusion is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation channels penetrating its inner and outer walls.

[0014] In some embodiments, the elastic locking structure further includes a positioning cover, which is fixedly disposed on the inner side of the abutment plate and corresponds to the mounting area, so that the connector presses against the detection element inside the mounting area when the connection is locked.

[0015] In some embodiments, the positioning cover has a plurality of second heat dissipation holes.

[0016] Secondly, this utility model also provides a light hydrocarbon gas detection device, including a convenient installation structure and detection element as described in any one of the above.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] To address the technical problems of complex and time-consuming installation of gas detection devices, which hinder subsequent maintenance or replacement, this utility model provides a convenient installation structure and a light hydrocarbon gas detection device. This enables rapid, simple, and stable installation of the light hydrocarbon gas detection device, improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs.

[0030] It should be noted that the convenient installation structure described in this utility model is used in, but not limited to, light hydrocarbon gas detectors. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the convenient installation structure and light hydrocarbon gas detection device applied to a light hydrocarbon gas detector as an example. The principle of the convenient installation structure and light hydrocarbon gas detection device applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to a light hydrocarbon gas detector, and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a convenient installation structure, including: a mounting base 1, a connecting structure 2, and an elastic locking structure 3. The mounting base 1 is disposed on a connecting medium container and is provided with at least one connecting groove 1211. The connecting structure 2 includes a connector 21 and at least one insert 22. The connector 21 is used to connect a detection element, and at least one insert 22 is connected to the connector 21 and is disposed opposite to the connecting groove 1211. It can be inserted into the connecting groove 1211 and locked by rotation or lateral displacement. The elastic locking structure 3 is connected to the connector 21 and can be compressed when the insert 22 is locked to the connecting groove 1211 to generate a reverse force that prevents the insert from coming out.

[0032] In this device, the mounting base 1 is used to connect the medium container, and the connector 21 is used to connect the detection element. The connector 22 is inserted into the connecting groove 1211, and a locking connection is achieved through rotation or lateral displacement, thus establishing the connection between the connector 21 and the mounting base 1. This allows for the rapid fixation of the detection element onto the medium container. When the connector 22 and the connecting groove 1211 are locked together, the elastic locking structure 3 is compressed, generating a reverse force. This force pushes the connector 21 away from the mounting base 1, enhancing the locking effect between the connector 22 and the connecting groove 1211 and ensuring the detection element is securely mounted on the medium container. This device enables rapid, simple, and stable installation of the light hydrocarbon gas detection device, improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs.

[0033] During installation, the operator only needs to align the insert 22 in the connecting structure 2 with the connecting groove 1211 on the mounting base 1 and insert it, and lock the connection by rotation or lateral displacement, without the need for complicated tools or cumbersome operating procedures. At the same time, the elastic locking structure 3 further enhances the stability of the connection, ensuring that the detection device will not fall off or loosen due to external forces during use, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the detection.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 includes a mounting member 11 and a fixing member 12. The mounting member 11 is used to connect the medium container, and one side of it forms an installation area with the connecting structure 2. The fixing member 12 is connected to the mounting member 11 and is arranged around the installation area. A plurality of connecting grooves 1211 are sequentially arranged on the fixing member 12. This design allows the fixing member 12 to provide multiple connection points arranged around the installation area, which can realize a stable connection in multiple directions and improve the stability of the detection element installation.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3In some possible embodiments, the fixing member 12 includes a fixing ring 121, which is configured as an annular structure. The mounting member 11 includes a mounting flange 111 and a protective box 112. One end of the protective box 112 is connected to the mounting flange 111 for fixing to the outside of the pipe or vessel via the mounting flange 111. A detection hole 1121 is provided inside this end of the protective box 112, through which the detection element can be detected after installation. The fixing ring 121 is arranged around the protective box 112 and fixed to the other end of the protective box 112. Multiple connecting grooves 1211 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the annular structure. An insert 22 is provided on one side of the connector 21 at a position corresponding to the connecting groove 1211. The multiple inserts 22 can be inserted into the connecting groove 1211 and locked by rotation. This design simplifies the installation process of the detection element while ensuring the overall stability of the structure. Meanwhile, the interior of the protective box 112 can form a protective cavity to accommodate the detection elements, which can wrap the detector during installation, protecting it from interference and damage from the external environment, and improving the service life and reliability of the detector.

[0036] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, a lead wire groove 1123 is provided on one side of the protective box 112 for leading out the wires or signal lines of the detection element, so as to facilitate connection and data transmission with external devices or systems.

[0037] Please see Figures 2 to 6 In one embodiment, the connector 21 includes a connecting cover 211 and an operating handle 212. Multiple inserts 22 are provided, each corresponding to a position in the connecting groove 1211. Each insert 22 includes a plug 221 and a limiting protrusion 222. One side of the connecting cover 211 connects the plug 221 and the elastic locking structure 3, while the other side is fixedly provided with the operating handle 212. One end of the plug 221 is fixedly connected to the connector 21, and one side of the other end is provided with a limiting protrusion 222. The contour of the connecting groove 1211 has an insertion section that allows the insert 22 to pass through and a locking section that restricts the insertion 22 from dislodging. When one end of the plug 221 and the limiting protrusion 222 are inserted into the connecting groove 1211 and rotated at the set locking position, the limiting protrusion 222 is in the locking section, effectively preventing the connector 21 from falling off the mounting base 1. Meanwhile, the elastic locking structure 3 is compressed during the rotation of the insert 221, pushing the connector 21 to move away from the mounting base 1, further enhancing the locking effect between the insert 221 and the connecting groove 1211.

[0038] Please see Figure 5Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, both ends of the connecting groove 1211 penetrate the fixing ring 121 to reach both sides, and an insertion end is formed inside it. The internal cross-sectional area is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the insert block 221 and the limiting protrusion 222, allowing the insert block 221 and the limiting protrusion 222 to be smoothly inserted. The groove opening of the connecting groove 1211 opposite to the connecting structure 2 forms a locking section. When the limiting protrusion 222 rotates to the locking section, it can be locked at the groove opening of the connecting groove 1211, realizing the connection between the mounting base 1 and the connecting structure 2.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to enhance the connection stability between the mounting base 1 and the connecting structure 2, in some possible embodiments, an anti-loosening groove 1212 is provided on the outer side of the groove opening of the connecting groove 1211 away from the connecting structure 2, and an anti-loosening block 223 is provided on the top surface of the limiting protrusion 222. After the limiting protrusion 222 moves to the outer side of the groove opening of the connecting groove 1211, the anti-loosening block 223 can be inserted into the anti-loosening groove 1212 to prevent the limiting protrusion 222 from coming out of the locking section when subjected to external force, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the mounting base 1 and the connecting structure 2.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the elastic locking structure 3 includes an abutment plate 31 and several springs 32. The abutment plate 31 is designed as a ring and is disposed opposite to the fixing ring 121. The abutment plate 31 is also provided with a through groove corresponding to the insert 22, so that the insert 22 can be inserted into the connecting groove 1211 through the through groove. Several springs 32 are disposed on the side of the abutment plate 31 away from the mounting base, and one end of each spring 32 is connected to the abutment plate 31, and the other end is connected to the connecting cover 211. When the insert 22 is locked into the connecting groove 1211, the abutment plate 31 is squeezed by the connecting cover 211, the springs 32 are compressed, and a reverse force is generated to prevent the insert 22 from falling out, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting structure 2.

[0041] To ensure stable installation of the gas detector, in some possible embodiments, the elastic locking structure 3 further includes a positioning cover 33. The positioning cover 33 is fixedly disposed inside the abutment plate 31 and corresponds to the installation area. When the connector 21 is locked, it presses against the detection element inside the installation area, further enhancing the stability of the detection element during installation. Simultaneously, the positioning cover 33 pressing against the detector can further compress the spring 32, thereby increasing the counterforce of the spring 32, making the connecting cover 211 and the detector more stable and less susceptible to external factors.

[0042] Furthermore, to ensure the airtightness of the detection element installation, a sealing gasket 1122 is provided outside the detection hole 1121 on the inner wall of the protective housing 112. The sealing gasket 1122 is made of elastic material and can fit tightly against the outer periphery of the detection element during installation, effectively preventing gas leakage. At the same time, the tightness of the sealing gasket 1122 can be further ensured by the positioning cover 33 pressing the detection element, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0043] Furthermore, this convenient installation structure also boasts excellent heat dissipation performance. The side wall of the connecting cover 211 has several first heat dissipation holes 2111, and a corresponding annular protrusion 2112 is provided on the connecting cover 211 and the installation area. The annular protrusion 2112 has several heat dissipation channels 2113 penetrating its inner and outer walls. The side wall and top wall of the positioning cover 33 both have several second heat dissipation holes 331. The design of the annular protrusion 2112 and the opening on the top of the positioning cover 33 ensures that the heat from the top of the detection element can be dissipated into the connecting cover 211 and discharged through the first heat dissipation holes 2111. Simultaneously, the internal volume of the protective box 112 is designed to be larger than the volume of the detection element, ensuring that the second heat dissipation holes 331 on the side wall of the positioning cover 33 can dissipate the heat from the side of the detection element, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency. This allows the device to effectively dissipate the heat generated during operation, avoiding problems such as affecting detection accuracy or causing equipment damage due to excessive temperature.

[0044] It should be noted that in other possible embodiments, the specific forms of the mounting base 1, the connecting structure 2, and the elastic locking structure 3 are not limited to these. For example, both the mounting base 1 and the connecting structure 2 can be set as square structures, and the arrangement of the connecting groove 1211 and the insert 22 can be changed so that the connecting groove 1211 of the mounting base 1 and the insert 22 of the connecting structure 2 can achieve a locking connection through lateral displacement, which can also achieve a fast, simple, and stable installation effect. The elastic locking structure 3 can also be set between the connecting groove 1211 and the insert 22 to lock the position of the mounting base 1 and the connecting structure 2.

[0045] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a light hydrocarbon gas detection device, including a convenient installation structure and detection element as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0046] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: First, the protective box 112 is installed at the gas detector's installation position via the mounting flange 111, ensuring that the seal between the mounting flange 111 and the tank or pipe meets the standard. When installing the gas detector, it is placed inside the protective box 112, with its detection end aligned with the detection hole 1121. The connecting wire of the gas detector is led out through the lead wire groove 1123. Then, the connecting cover 211 is aligned with the protective box 112, and the insert block 221 is inserted into the connecting groove 1211 on the fixing ring 121. A locking connection is achieved by rotation. At this time, the elastic locking structure 3 is compressed, generating a reverse force that pushes the connecting cover 211 away from the protective box 112, enhancing the locking effect between the limiting protrusion 222 and the connecting groove 1211, thereby ensuring that the detection element is securely installed on the medium container. After installation, the detection element performs detection operations through the detection hole 1121 on the protective box 112.

[0047] This invention, by setting up an installation base 1, a connecting structure 2, and an elastic locking structure 3, allows the operator to easily install the device. During installation, the operator only needs to align the insert 22 in the connecting structure 2 with the connecting groove 1211 on the installation base 1 and insert it, then lock the connection by rotation or lateral displacement, eliminating the need for complex tools or cumbersome procedures. Simultaneously, the elastic locking structure 3 further enhances the stability of the connection, ensuring that the detection device will not detach or loosen due to external forces during use, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the detection. This device achieves rapid, simple, and stable installation of light hydrocarbon gas detection equipment, improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs.
