Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety valve calibration and testing technology, specifically relating to a digital intelligent monitoring system for safety valves. Background Technology

[0002] Special equipment is a crucial foundation for building a modern industrial system. With socio-economic development, my country's special equipment is trending towards larger sizes, higher parameters, and higher risks. It is characterized by its large quantity, wide application, long supply chain, numerous responsible parties, and lengthy regulatory chains, making its safety a serious concern. Safety valves, as essential safety accessories for pressure-bearing special equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure pipelines, are widely used in various industries including power generation, oil and gas, refining, chemicals, steel, papermaking, and pharmaceuticals. They are not only subject to mandatory annual inspections by the government but also serve as the last line of defense against overpressure for pressure-bearing equipment.

[0003] However, the current management and supervision model for safety valves has many prominent problems. First, information traceability is difficult. Safety valve supervision relies on manual paper records or simple electronic ledgers, which are prone to data errors, omissions, and tampering, making it difficult to trace information throughout the entire life cycle. Moreover, the relationship between safety valves and their respective special equipment is unclear. Second, the authenticity of verification data is insufficient. Data during the safety valve verification process is mostly entered manually, posing a risk of human intervention and affecting the accuracy of equipment safety assessments. Third, supervision efficiency is low. Regulatory departments need to grasp the status of safety valves through on-site inspections and review of paper reports, making it difficult to monitor the verification progress in real time, resulting in risks of overdue inspections and delayed early warnings. Fourth, enterprise management is extensive. Users rely on manual records for daily inspections and maintenance of safety valves, lacking digital tools, and the ledgers are not updated in a timely manner, easily leading to missed inspections and neglected maintenance.

[0004] Chinese patent CN208520570U discloses an online calibration interface device and an online testing system for safety valves. The online calibration interface device includes an isolation valve, a three-way valve, and a pressure tapping pipe. The isolation valve is located between the safety valve and the protective container. Two ports of the three-way valve are connected to the safety valve and the isolation valve, respectively, and the other port is connected to the pressure tapping pipe. The pressure tapping port of the pressure tapping pipe is connected to the calibration interface, so that the calibration interface is located in a position convenient for operators to operate. This patent addresses the risks of high-altitude operations and disassembly / reassembly issues during safety valve calibration, focusing only on the operational convenience of the safety valve calibration process. It does not cover the recording and associated management of information throughout the entire lifecycle of the safety valve, from manufacturing, installation, daily use to disposal. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a digital intelligent monitoring system for safety valves, which can overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies such as difficulty in tracing safety valve information, inaccurate verification data, lagging supervision, and low enterprise management efficiency, and realize the management and supervision of safety valves throughout their entire life cycle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A smart safety valve monitoring system includes a data acquisition unit integrated with the safety valve body, an electronic identification unit, a handheld terminal unit, and a data processing and monitoring unit.

The pressure sensor and data collector are both mounted on the data acquisition platform, and the data collector is electrically connected to the calibration platform controller. The electronic identification unit includes an explosion-proof clamp and an RFID tag. The RFID tag is fixed to the safety valve body using the explosion-proof clamp. The handheld terminal unit includes a handheld PDA, which is connected to the RFID tag via radio frequency signals. The data processing and monitoring unit includes a cloud server and a system terminal. The system terminal includes a monitoring terminal, a calibration terminal, and a user unit terminal. The cloud server is connected to the electronic identification unit, the handheld terminal unit, and the data acquisition unit via a wireless network.

[0008] Furthermore, the RFID tag is equipped with a QR code for identification, which is integrated with the safety valve body.

[0009] Furthermore, the handheld PDA is equipped with a UHF radio frequency identification module in conjunction with the RFID radio frequency tag.

[0010] Furthermore, the handheld PDA is equipped with a facial recognition module.

[0011] Furthermore, a calibration station fixture is installed on the inspection data acquisition platform in conjunction with the safety valve body, and the safety valve body is fixedly mounted on the calibration station fixture.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the data acquisition unit.

[0013] Furthermore, the sampling frequency of the data acquisition device is between 100-500Hz.

[0014] Furthermore, wireless communication modules are installed on the RFID radio frequency tags, handheld PDAs, and verification station controllers.

[0015] Furthermore, the system terminal is electrically connected to the cloud server.

[0016] Furthermore, the RFID tag is rectangular in shape, with a protective shell around its edge. An installation slot is provided inside the explosion-proof clamp to fit the protective shell, and a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the protective shell to fit the installation slot.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] RFID tags can record information throughout the entire lifecycle of the safety valve, enabling reliable traceability and associated management. Verification data collected by pressure sensors is processed by a data acquisition unit and then uploaded to a cloud server via a wireless communication module, avoiding the risk of human intervention associated with manual data entry and ensuring the authenticity of the verification data. A handheld PDA, in conjunction with the RFID tags, can read the safety valve's tag information and input inspection and maintenance records. The cloud server receives data from the electronic identification unit, handheld terminal unit, and data acquisition unit via a wireless network. The system terminal is electrically connected to the cloud server, allowing supervisors to monitor the safety valve's status in real time, track verification progress, and improve supervisory efficiency.
