Embodiment
Describe operation below with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail according to gas leakage prevention system of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram that schematically shows according to an embodiment of gas leakage prevention system of the present invention.Referring to Fig. 1, have gas-cooker 10, intermediate valve 20, first judging unit 30, second judging unit 40, intermediate valve control module 50 and alarm device 70 according to the gas leakage prevention system of first embodiment of the invention.In according to another implementation of the invention, can in above-mentioned gas leakage prevention system structure, increase flow measuring sensor 60.
First judging unit 30 judges whether gas-cooker 10 is lighted.Usually, the gas-cooker 10 of family expenses has the flame-out protection device of splint size, and this device is contained in the spray orifice next door that gas is flowed out.Heat when this flame-out protection device detects normal ignition, and open the solenoid valve (not shown) that is contained in the gas-cooker 10.Preferably, first judging unit 30 utilizes common flame-out protection device to judge whether solenoid valve is opened, and judges according to the temperature that flame-out protection device detects whether gas-cooker 10 is lighted.
Second judging unit 40 judges whether the intermediate valve 20 that is contained on the gas pipeline that connects gas-cooker 10 is opened.In the present invention, intermediate valve 20 can be from can pilot-gas selecting the multiple valve of passage, for example solenoid valve and ball valve, rather than traditional simple stopcock (fuse cock valve).In addition, the device of control intermediate valve 20 can be selected from multiple valve control system, and for example moment of torsion can be controlled the direct current generator and the stepper motor of intermediate valve.Preferably, intermediate valve 20 adopts solenoid valve, thereby can carry out the on/off operation according to the electric signal that receives from middle valve control unit, VCU 50.
Determines gas-cookers 10 when first judging unit 30 and do not light, and second judging unit 40 is when determining that intermediate valves 20 are opened that intermediate valve control module 50 is closed intermediate valve 20 fully, thereby cuts off the gas that is fed to gas-cooker 10.
Determines gas-cookers when first judging unit 30 and light, and second judging unit 40 is when determining that intermediate valves 20 cut out that preferably, intermediate valve control module 50 is opened intermediate valve 20, is gas-cooker 10 supply gas.In this case, when the portfire of gas-cooker 10 is opened, in particular cycle, produce the flame of lighting gas, and the temperature of flame-out protection device is owing to the flame that produces raises.When the temperature of flame-out protection device was elevated to above predetermined value, solenoid valve (not shown, as in order to distinguish with the solenoid valve as intermediate valve, it to be called " appliance valve " below) was opened.By using this principle, preferably, intermediate valve control module 50 is elevated to when opening above predetermined value or appliance valve in the temperature of flame-out protection device, opens intermediate valve.
By this method, even the user do not have the opening/closing intermediate valve when no matter when using gas-cooker 10, intermediate valve control module 50 can both by whether opening according to gas-cooker 10 opening/closing intermediate valve 20 automatically, thereby prevent that gas from leaking.
The flow measuring sensor 60 that comprises in the gas leakage prevention system 100 of the present invention is contained on the pipeline between gas-cooker 10 and the intermediate valve 20, and measures the gas flow rate that flows into gas-cooker 10.In this case, preferably, flow measuring sensor 60 is the heat type air flow measurement sensor that adopt the MEMS (MEMS (micro electro mechanical system)) of the long 6mm of wide 4mm.
But the device that is called " flow measuring sensor " among the present invention is not limited to heat type air flow measurement sensor, but can comprise a wide region device of all kinds sensor that is commonly referred to as " flowmeter " and measurement flow rate.The example that it should be understood that above-mentioned flow measurement device does not limit the scope of the invention, and the flow measuring sensor of describing with reference to figure 2a and 2b only is to be used to explain a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 a is illustrated in an example of the heat type air flow measurement sensor of using in the gas leakage prevention system 100 of Fig. 1.Fig. 2 b is the cut-open view of the heat type air flow measurement sensor A-A ' along the line of Fig. 2 a.
Referring to Fig. 2 a and 2b; hot type flow measuring sensor 60 comprises the semiconductor-based end 61 of silicon or analog; constitute the electrical insulating film 69a of barrier film; upstream heating resistor 62a that on electrical insulating film 69a, forms and downstream heating resistor 62b; detect the temperature measuring resistors 63 of the temperature of heating resistor 62a and 62b; be formed on the air themperature measuring resistance 64 that substrate 61 front ends are used to detect air themperature; signal is transferred to the terminal electrode 68a of external circuit from heat type air flow measurement sensor 60; 68b; 68c; 68d; 68e; 68f and 68g are with resistance 62a; 62b; 63 and 64 and terminal electrode 68a; 68b; 68c; 68d; 68e; the line unit 67a that 68f is connected with 68g; 67b; 67c; 67d; 67e; 67f and 67g and protective resistance 62a; 62b; 63 and 64 electrical insulating film 69b.Here, resistance 62a, 62b, 63 and 64 are made by silicon (Si) semiconductive thin film of impurity, and form by heavy doping, thereby the resistivity that makes the silicon semiconductor film is less than 8 * 10 -4Ω cm.
The principle of work of the heat type air flow measurement sensor of using in gas leakage prevention system 100 according to the present invention 60 is as follows.
A pair of upstream and downstream heating resistor 62a is electrically connected with 62b and directly is connected.Joint (center tap) D is connected to terminal electrode 68 by output electrode 67f.When heating (indirect heating) electric current flow through the above-mentioned dielectric film 69a that isolate with cavity 66 heat go up form this during to heating resistor 62a and 62b, the temperature that detects the temperature measuring resistors 63 of heating resistor 62a and 62b temperature has increased predetermined value, surpasses the temperature of the air themperature measuring resistance 64 that shows air themperature.
By contrast heating resistor 62a and the temperature of 62b and the temperature detection airflow direction of temperature measuring resistors 63.That is, when not having air-flow and not showing any temperature difference, the temperature of heating resistor 62a and 62b is identical with the temperature of temperature measuring resistors 63.Simultaneously, be arranged on the heating resistor 62a of airflow direction upstream side owing to air-flow is subjected to than the big cooling effect of heating resistor 62b that is arranged on downstream direction.And because heating resistor 62a and 62b connect, the heating current that flows through is identical and produce identical heat, so the temperature of upstream heating resistor 62a is lower than the temperature of downstream heating resistor 62b.Simultaneously, when air-flow during from direction as shown changeabout direction (reverse), the temperature of downstream heating resistor 62b becomes and is lower than the temperature of upstream heating resistor 62a.Therefore, can detect airflow direction by the temperature (resistance value) of contrast heating resistor 62a and 62b.And, because the temperature of temperature measuring resistors 63 than the high predetermined value of temperature of air themperature measuring resistance 64, is therefore carried out gas flow measurement based on the heating of flowing through heating resistor 62a and 62b (indirect heating) current value.By this method, can detect airflow direction and airflow rate.And therefore, because this MEMS heat type air flow measurement sensor 60 even can detect the air-flow of trace applies it in the gas leakage prevention system 100 of the present invention, and plays the effect of the low-level gas leakage of detection.
When gas leakage prevention system 100 according to the present invention has other flow measuring sensor 60, preferably, when first judging unit 30 determines that gas-cookers 10 are unignited, and flow measuring sensor 60 is when detecting gas and flowing into gas-cooker 10, and intermediate valve control module 50 is closed intermediate valve 20.Measure the gas flow rate that flows into gas-cooker 10 with flow measuring sensor 60.
Preferably, gas leakage prevention system 100 according to the present invention has alarm device 70, when determining that at first judging unit 30 unignited and second judging unit 40 of gas-cooker 10 determines that intermediate valves 20 cut out, produces alarm sound.
Therefore, close and intermediate valve 20 when closing, can detect the gas that the wearing and tearing owing to intermediate valve 20 cause in advance and leak in the portfire of gas-cooker 10.This allows the user to take appropriate measure, for example changes intermediate valve 20.
Even sensor is unkitted externally in the pipeline, and only be contained in the internal pipeline, shown in above-mentioned embodiment, sensor also can be the pressure transducer of detected gas pressure, the perhaps detected gas line leak detector of leaking, perhaps similarly install, and above-mentioned flow measuring sensor 60.
In addition, installation site for flow measuring sensor 60, this embodiment has been embodied as sensor 60 and has been contained on the pipeline between gas-cooker 10 and the intermediate valve 20, but sensor 60 also can be contained on the pipeline between intermediate valve 20 and the gas supply source, and wherein gas supply source for example is outdoor gas tank or gas supplier's gas supply.In addition, flow measuring sensor 60 can be contained on the pipeline between gas-cooker 10 and the intermediate valve 20 and on the pipeline between intermediate valve 20 and the gas supply source simultaneously.
In addition, the invention provides a kind of when occurring gas suddenly and leak measurement flow rate and pressure and close the method for intermediate valve 20.That is,, the critical value of the flow velocity of flow measuring sensor 60 detections is set by the maximum gas volume that the gas-cooker 10 that is based upon operate as normal provides.When the flow velocity of flow measuring sensor 60 measurements surpasses critical flow velocity, can determine owing to reasons such as the damage of the pipeline between intermediate valve 20 and the gas-cooker 10, gas-cooker 10 damages cause gas to leak fast.Therefore, when the flow velocity that detects surpasses the critical value of above-mentioned setting, close intermediate valve 20.
At this moment, when working pressure sensor rather than flow measuring sensor 60, the general method of using is, based on the pressure of gas-cooker 10 operate as normal emergent pressure is set; And being defined as gas when the pressure subcritical value that detects leaks.
Fig. 3 a is framework and the view that schematically shows another embodiment of gas leakage prevention system of the present invention to 3c.In this embodiment, shown in Fig. 3 a, first detecting sensor 162 is contained on the gas passage between intermediate valve 20 and the Gas appliance (among the figure be example with the gas-cooker), second detecting sensor 161 is contained on the gas passage between intermediate valve 20 and the gas supply source, gas supply source for example is outdoor gas tank (for example, gas supplier's gas supply).At this moment, first judging unit 30 and second judging unit 40 are judged the state of lighting of Gas appliance and the state that opens or closes of intermediate valve 20 based on the testing result of first detecting sensor 162 and second detecting sensor 161 respectively.
In this embodiment, gas leakage prevention system has basic structure same as shown in Figure 1, but two detecting sensors 161 and 162 are contained in the entrance side and the outlet side of intermediate valve 20, the flow measuring sensor 60 of alternate figures 1 respectively.
Shown in Fig. 3 c, gas-cooker 10 is connected to gas supply source by pipeline 181 and 182, for example gas supplier's gas supply or outdoor gas tank.Intermediate valve 20 is contained in the halfway position of two pipelines, i.e. external pipe 181 and internal pipeline 182; And appliance valve 11 is contained in the gas access side of the gas-cooker 10 that is in internal pipeline 182 ends.
When flow measuring sensor 60 only is contained in the internal pipeline 182, as the embodiment of front, the state that opens or closes of use traffic survey sensor 60 appliance valves 11, thus, intermediate valve control module 50 opens or closes intermediate valve 20.But, when detecting sensor 161 and 162 is contained in the both sides of intermediate valve 50, can controls in the following manner and open and close intermediate valve 20.
When intermediate valve 20 and appliance valve 11 were all closed, detecting sensor 161 and 162 detected the state (perhaps pressure is higher than the state of predetermined value) that does not have pressure to change, and did not perhaps have the state of change in flow.In this state, when appliance valve 11 was opened, second detecting sensor 161 detected pressure and changes (perhaps pressure drops to the following state of predetermined value), the perhaps change in flow in the internal pipeline 182.(at this moment, when second detecting sensor 161 is pressure transducer, it will detect pressure and descend; Perhaps when second detecting sensor 161 is flow measuring sensor, it will determine flow velocity by the principle identical with the flow measuring sensor 60 of above-mentioned embodiment).
Therefore, by said procedure, first judging unit, 30 appliance valves 11 are opened, and correspondingly intermediate valve control module 50 is opened intermediate valve 20.On the other hand, can be only detect pressure and change or change in flow, and first detecting sensor 162 does not detect that any pressure changes or during change in flow, opens intermediate valve 20 simultaneously in second detecting sensor 161.
In this state, when appliance valve 11 was closed, first detecting sensor, 162 detected pressures changed (perhaps pressure is higher than the state of predetermined value) or change in flow.(at this moment, when first detecting sensor 162 was pressure transducer, it increased detected pressures or force value; Perhaps when first detecting sensor 162 is flow measuring sensor, it will determine flow velocity by the principle identical with the flow measuring sensor 60 of above-mentioned embodiment).
This as a result the time when detecting, intermediate valve control module 50 is closed intermediate valve 20.Carrying out closing of intermediate valve 20 can be according to the testing result of first detecting sensor 162, and perhaps based on the testing result of second detecting sensor 161, the perhaps all right while is according to the testing result of first detecting sensor 162 and second detecting sensor 161.
When first detecting sensor 162 and second detecting sensor 161 all are pressure transducer, also can control intermediate valve 20 as single differential pick-up (single diffrential sensor) by using these two pressure transducers.In other words, when appliance valve 11 (this moment, intermediate valve 20 and appliance valve 11 were all closed) when original state is opened, the pressure in the external pipe 181 is constant, and the pressure of internal pipeline 182 reduces.Therefore, when having pressure reduction between pipeline 181 and the pipeline 182, differential pick-up detects this pressure reduction.Therefore, intermediate valve control module 50 judgement appliance valve 11 are opened, and intermediate valve 20 cuts out, and therefore opens intermediate valve 20.And when appliance valve 11 (at this moment, intermediate valve 20 and appliance valve 11 are opened) when this state is closed, pressure will raise, and not have pressure reduction simultaneously.Therefore, two detecting sensors 161 and 162 that constitute differential pick-up detect that appliance valve 11 is closed and intermediate valve 20 is opened, so intermediate valve control module 50 is closed intermediate valve 20.
When using two detecting sensors 161 and 162 in such a way, its advantage is can more accurately control to open and close intermediate valve 20.
In this embodiment, modification as above-mentioned embodiment, the pressure that surpass the flow velocity that detects when second detecting sensor 161 critical flow velocity or second detecting sensor 161 detect is during less than emergent pressure, determine to damage or similar reason causes gas to leak fast, therefore close intermediate valve 20 owing to internal pipeline 182.
Preferably, each detecting sensor can be the flow measuring sensor of gas flow in the energy measurement pipeline, can detect the pressure transducer of pressure in the pipeline, perhaps can detect the line leak detector that pipeline gas leaks.In the present invention, flow measuring sensor, pressure transducer or line leak detector can be inserted in the pipeline, perhaps can be integrated on the pipeline, perhaps can be contained in the pipeline outside, perhaps can be designed to a unit, sensor or line leak detector are mounted in it, and have the opposite connecting pipe of direct connecting tube.When sensor or line leak detector are designed to a unit, this unit can be made into, by diameter and the length that changes opposite connecting pipe, can make this unit be more prone to check the variation of gas flow rate.
In this embodiment, two detecting sensors can be designed to two pressure transducers or two differential pressure pick-ups, perhaps a flow measuring sensor, perhaps a differential pressure pick-up, perhaps a pressure transducer.Therefore, according to one or two sensor as two detecting sensors, by gas access side A and the pressure of gas vent B detection or the opening and closing that flow velocity can control intermediate valve 20 of several different methods contrast at the intermediate valve 20 of Fig. 3 c, this will be described below.In the method below, preferably, when a sensor is used as two detecting sensors, pressure governor or pressure regulating tank are set in the gas access of intermediate valve side.
At first, when two pressure transducers or two differential pressure pick-ups during as two detecting sensors, according to two pressure transducers or two pressure comparing results that differential pressure pick-up detects, the opening and closing control of intermediate valve is as follows.That is, control the opening and closing of intermediate valve under the above-mentioned situation, will light the minimum differntial pressure P of Gas appliance CBe predefined for initial value, thereby work as the pressure P of gas vent side B BPressure P less than gas access side A AThe time, i.e. P A>P B, open intermediate valve; Pressure reduction P when gas access side and gas outlet side A-P BLess than the predetermined minimum differntial pressure P that lights Gas appliance (gas-cooker) CThe time, i.e. P A-P B<P C, close intermediate valve.Opening the operation of intermediate valve carries out as follows: when intermediate valve was in original state or remain on its closed condition, the flow velocity of gas access side and gas vent side did not change, thereby was equal to each other at the pressure of gas access side and the measurement of gas outlet side, i.e. P A=P BWhen the gas-cooker of above-mentioned state was worked, the pressure of gas vent side B is instantaneous to be reduced near zero, thereby the condition P that opens intermediate valve is provided A>P BTherefore, intermediate valve is opened.Under above-mentioned state, the reducing fast of above-mentioned gas outlet side pressure must be caused by the following fact: when gas-cooker is worked, gas-cooker with very high speed from gas vent side B suction air and gas.The gas velocity of gas vent side B increase fast causes reducing fast of gas vent side gaseous tension.
Secondly, when a flow measuring sensor is used as two detecting sensors, according to the flow velocity Q of intermediate valve gas vent side B BTesting result, the control that opens and closes intermediate valve is as follows.That is, control the opening and closing of intermediate valve under the above-mentioned situation, thereby work as the flow velocity Q that gas vent side B measures BBe equal to or higher than the predetermined minimum flow velocity Q of a cooking stove burning CThe time, i.e. Q B〉=Q C, intermediate valve is opened; As flow velocity Q BLess than predetermined minimum flow velocity Q CThe time, i.e. Q B<Q C, intermediate valve cuts out.
Opening the operation of intermediate valve carries out as follows.At the minimum flow velocity Q that will put cooking stove burning CBe predefined under the condition of reference value, carry out the fluid-velocity survey of gas vent side and the control that opens and closes intermediate valve.When intermediate valve was in its original state or remains on its closed condition, B did not have gas flow in the gas vent side, thus the flow velocity Q that measures at gas vent side B BNear zero.When the gas-cooker of above-mentioned state is worked, at the flow velocity Q of gas vent side B measurement B(Q=AV, wherein Q is a rate of flow of fluid, A is the sectional area that fluid flows through pipeline, V is a fluid velocity) is owing to the gas velocity of suction gas-cooker increases.Like this, form the condition Q that opens intermediate valve B〉=Q CThereby, open intermediate valve.Closing the operation of intermediate valve carries out as follows.When the work of gas-cooker stops, stopping the gas supply of gas-cooker, make gas concentrate on gas-cooker position on every side gradually.Schedule time past tense after gas-cooker quits work, the flow velocity Q of gas vent side B BBecome predetermined minimum flow velocity Q less than a cooking stove burning C, i.e. Q B<Q C, so intermediate valve cuts out.
The 3rd, when a differential pressure pick-up is used as two detecting sensors, according to use two pressure transducers or two differential pressure pick-ups as the described same way as of the example of two detecting sensors, pressure comparing result according to gas access side and the measurement of gas outlet side is predefined for critical value P with opening the gas access side of intermediate valve and the pressure reduction of gas vent side T, and will light the minimum differntial pressure P of Gas appliance (gas-cooker) CBe predefined for the reference value of closing intermediate valve, the opening and closing of control intermediate valve.That is, when the pressure P of gas access side A APressure P with gas outlet side B BDifference P A-P BBe equal to or greater than predetermined critical P TThe time, i.e. P A-P B〉=P T, intermediate valve is opened.But, as pressure reduction P A-P BBe equal to or less than the predetermined minimum differntial pressure P of a cooking stove burning CThe time, i.e. P A-P B≤ P C, close intermediate valve.
The 4th, when a pressure transducer when two detecting sensors, the pressure that the pressure transducer of installing under the condition that remains unchanged according to the pressure at gas access side A, at gas vent side B is measured changes, the control intermediate valve opens and closes.When the pressure of gas access side A remained unchanged, the flow velocity of gas vent side B did not change before gas-cooker work.Therefore, the pressure P of gas outlet side B under above-mentioned state BKeep equaling inlet gas pressure, inlet gas pressure is the pressure P of gas access side A A, i.e. P A=P BWhen the gas-cooker of above-mentioned state is worked, the pressure P of gas vent side B BDrop to less than inlet gas pressure fast, because gas flows into gas-cooker, thereby intermediate valve is opened.Closing the operation of intermediate valve carries out as follows.When gas-cooker quits work, the pressure P of gas vent side B BRemain inlet gas pressure, because the flow velocity of gas vent side does not change after passing by at the fixed time.Therefore, close intermediate valve.In this embodiment, can be according to pressure reduction between gas access side and the gas vent side and the predetermined minimum differntial pressure P that puts cooking stove burning CComparing result, control intermediate valve opening and closing.In fact, the LNG of using gases supplier supply or family's inlet gas pressure of LPG are not constant, but change, thereby in the method that above-mentioned control intermediate valve opens and closes, need pressure governor or pressure regulating tank be set to keep inlet gas pressure constant in the gas access side.
As mentioned above, light the predetermined minimum differntial pressure P of Gas appliance when use CWhen control opens and closes intermediate valve, can change minimum differntial pressure P according to multiple variable C, for example the work franchise between the model of the diameter of unit, Gas appliance and two pressure transducers is poor.Therefore, consider that preferably above-mentioned variable determines minimum differntial pressure P CFor example, when LNG that using gases supplier provides, minimum differntial pressure P CCan be predefined for the numerical value of 0-30mmAg scope.
In addition, the pressure survey ability of the pressure transducer that uses in said method is preferably decided according to the gas property and the gas inlet pressure that are fed to Gas appliance.For example, when the gas access pressure that is fed to Gas appliance during in the 200-300mmAg scope, most preferably the working pressure measurement capability is the pressure transducer of 0-300mmAg.But, it should be understood that if the pressure survey ability is 0-10kg/cm 2Other pressure transducer energy measurement gaseous tension 200-300mmAg, just can use 0-10kg/cm 2Pressure transducer.
