For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a refueling error prevention device, including a mounting bracket 10. The mounting bracket 10 has an upper support platform 101 and a lower support platform 102. An oil supply tank 11 is provided on the upper support platform 101, and a special oil can 12 is placed on the lower support platform 102.

[0019] Specifically, the oil supply tank 11 is inclined downwards, and an oil outlet 111 is set at its bottom. An electric valve body 13 is set on the oil outlet 111 to control the opening and closing of the oil outlet. The electric valve body is a YYZK-F21B type DC electric ball valve, whose main technical parameters are: working voltage DC12~24V, protection level IP65, nominal diameter DN25, and output torque 8Nm.

[0020] To check whether the special oil can 12 is correct, a sensor bracket 14 is set on the lower support platform 102. A mistake-proof sensor 15 is set on the sensor bracket 14. The mistake-proof sensor 15 is a cylindrical proximity switch, specifically an Omron E2B-M12KS04-WZ-C1 / B1 type cylindrical proximity sensor (PNP normally open type), which is tightly screwed into the pre-machined mounting hole on the bracket by its own thread.

[0021] In addition, a sensor plate 16 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the special oil can 12. The sensor plate 16 has a unique recess. Since there are many oil products, the position of the recess in each oil can is different. The size of the recess matches the size of the sensor head. In addition to the different positions of the recess, the height and angle of the recess in the circumferential direction can also be set to be different, thereby forming a physical key.

[0022] Above the oil supply tank 11, a control cabinet 17 is mounted on a bracket. The control cabinet 17 contains a controller, a card reader, a time relay, and an intermediate relay. The cabinet is a standard industrial control cabinet, and its front door is fitted with a panel for the card reader (model H5C waterproof access control card reader panel) for operator identification and authorization. The time relay uses a dual-channel delay time relay module (model such as YF-38) to precisely control the opening duration of the electric valve. The intermediate relay uses a JQX-13F(D) type general-purpose relay to amplify the control signal and drive the electric valve.

[0023] In practical applications, multiple refueling error-proofing devices of this application are placed side-by-side for storing and retrieving different types of oil. When a specific type of oil needs to be retrieved, a dedicated 10L stainless steel oil container is placed on the lower support platform according to the required oil. The lower support platform can be equipped with a positioning groove adapted to the shape of the oil container's bottom for initial positioning. When the oil container is in place, the recessed hole on the side wall of the container must be precisely aligned with the sensing head of the error-proofing sensor. If the wrong oil container is selected, the recessed hole position will not match, the sensor will not detect a valid signal, and the system logic will judge it as "placement error." Even if a card is swiped subsequently, the system will not respond. After physical error-proofing is successful, the operator swipes a card on the card reader panel of the control cabinet. The controller reads the card information and verifies whether the card has the authority to operate the electric valve corresponding to the current oil. This authority is uniquely bound in the system. The controller will only trigger an action when both the "oil container is placed correctly" and the "card swiping authority is correct" conditions are met simultaneously. It first sends a command to the time relay, which then starts timing (e.g., preset to 10 seconds). At the same time, it drives the corresponding electric valve to open via the intermediate relay, allowing oil to flow into the dedicated oil reservoir. When the time relay reaches the preset 10-second timing, it automatically cuts off the output signal, the intermediate relay is de-energized, the electric valve closes, and oil discharge stops.

[0024] This invention utilizes a unique recessed hole in a dedicated oil reservoir and a sensor in a fixed position to form a mechanical coding identification structure, achieving mandatory physical error prevention. This physical verification, combined with electrical logic verification based on access cards, constitutes a double-interlocked safety mechanism. The entire system is compact, easy to install, and has a clear operating procedure, greatly improving the accuracy and safety of oil filling and effectively preventing equipment failures caused by incorrect oil selection.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
