Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to specific embodiments. The following examples are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention more clearly, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention are combined below to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the drawings, the conductive warp yarns are located in the selvedge areas, and there are two layers of warp yarns, except for fig. 2 and 3, the warp yarns shown in the drawings only refer to the upper one, and the lower one is not shown. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid leakage sensor fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fabric body is formed by vertically interweaving a plurality of non-conductive warp yarns 1 and non-conductive weft yarns 2, the conductive weft yarns 201 and 202 are woven into the fabric at intervals, and a plurality of conductive weft yarns are arranged in the warp direction of the whole fabric. At the fabric left selvedge, 2 conductive warp yarns 101, 102 are arranged, which are separated by non-conductive warp yarns. When the first conductive weft yarn 201 is woven, the first conductive weft yarn is normally interwoven with the conductive warp yarn 101, and the first conductive weft yarn and the conductive warp yarn are mutually contacted and electrically conducted; isolated and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarns 102. The second conductive weft yarn 202 is isolated and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarn 101 when being woven; and are normally interwoven with the conductive warp yarns 102 to be in contact with each other and electrically conducted. Other conductive weft yarns on the fabric are woven in one by one according to the rules of the conductive weft yarns 201 and 202, so that the conductive warp yarn 101 is conducted with the odd conductive weft yarns, the conductive warp yarn 102 is conducted with the even conductive weft yarns, and the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are not conducted with each other normally.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the fluid leak sensor fabric of fig. 1 along a first conductive weft yarn, highlighting how the conductive warp and weft yarns are insulated and electrically isolated. The selvage area warp where the conductive warp 101 and the conductive warp 102 are located has two layers, the conductive warp 101 and the conductive warp 102 are both located on the upper layer, and the left, the right and the lower parts of the conductive warp 101 are respectively provided with non-conductive warps 1-1, 1-3 and 1-2 which wrap the conductive warp 101; similarly, conductive warp yarn 102 is wrapped by non-conductive warp yarns 1-3, 1-4, 1-5. When the conductive weft 201 is woven, the conductive weft is normally interwoven with the conductive warp 101, passes through the lower parts of the non-conductive warps 1-3, 1-4 and 1-5, and then is interwoven with the non-conductive warps in the cloth body area. After the conductive weft yarn 201 is woven in, non-conductive weft yarn continues to be woven in and gradually forms a fabric. After the fabric is formed, all warp yarns and weft yarns are close to each other under the action of tension, but as the non-conductive warp yarns 1-3, 1-4 and 1-5 wrap the conductive warp yarn 102, the conductive weft yarn 201 is isolated from and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarn 102, and is in contact with and electrically conducted with the conductive warp yarn 101.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the fluid leak sensor fabric of fig. 1 along a second conductive weft yarn, highlighting the condition where the second conductive warp yarn is conductive or insulative to the conductive warp yarn. When the second conductive weft yarn 202 is woven, it passes under the non-conductive warp yarns 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and then is normally interwoven with the conductive warp yarn 102. Since the non-conductive warp yarns 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 wrap the conductive warp yarn 101, the conductive weft yarn 202 is isolated and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarn 101, and is in contact and electrically conducted with the conductive warp yarn 102.
Fig. 2 and 3 only show the case where the conductive warp yarns 101, 102 are both located in the upper layer warp yarns. In addition, both conductive warp yarns 101, 102 may be provided in the lower layer warp yarns. When the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are both located in the lower layer warp yarns, the left, right and upper sides of the conductive warp yarn 101 are respectively provided with non-conductive warp yarns which wrap the conductive warp yarn 101; similarly, conductive warp yarn 102 is wrapped by non-conductive warp yarns positioned to the left, right, and above. When the first conductive weft 201 is woven, after being normally interwoven with the conductive warp 101, the first conductive weft passes through the upper parts of the non-conductive warps positioned at the left, right and upper parts of the conductive warp 102 and then is interwoven with the non-conductive warps in the cloth body area. Since the non-conductive warp yarns on the left, right and upper sides of the conductive warp yarn 102 wrap the conductive warp yarn 102, the conductive weft yarn 201 is insulated and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarn 102, and is in contact with and electrically conducted to the conductive warp yarn 101. The second conductive weft yarn 202 is woven through the conductive warp yarn 101 above the left, right and top non-conductive warp yarns and then normally interwoven with the conductive warp yarn 102. Since the non-conductive warp yarns on the left, right and upper sides of the conductive warp yarn 101 wrap the conductive warp yarn 101, the conductive weft yarn 202 is isolated and electrically insulated from the conductive warp yarn 101, and is in contact and electrically conducted with the conductive warp yarn 102.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an operation principle of the fabric for a liquid leakage sensor shown in fig. 1. When water drops 9 exist on the fabric, the non-conductive warp and weft yarns in the area absorb water and become conductive, and the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are conducted, so that the conduction path is the conductive warp yarn 101 → the conductive weft yarn 201 → the water drops 9 → the conductive weft yarn 202 → the conductive warp yarn 102. Obviously, in this embodiment, the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are used as leading-out electrodes, the conductive weft yarns 201 and 202 are used as detecting electrodes, and whether water drops exist on the cloth surface can be judged according to whether the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are conducted or not in use.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of the cut fabric of the liquid leakage sensor shown in fig. 1. When the fabric in fig. 1 is cut along the fold line AB, the fabric shown in fig. 5 is obtained, and the fabric still has a detection function because the lead-out electrodes, i.e. the conductive warp yarns 101, 102, remain after cutting. The conductive path in the figure is conductive warp 101 → conductive weft 203 → water drop 9 → conductive weft 202 → conductive warp 102.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of a liquid leakage sensor fabric with conductive warp yarns added and grouped inside and outside according to another embodiment of the present invention. When one of the 2 conductive warp yarns of the fabric in fig. 1 is broken, the detection function of the entire fabric is lost, and thus several conductive warp yarns may be provided more. In fig. 6, 4 conductive warp yarns are arranged and located in the selvedge area on the same side of the fabric, and referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the warp yarns in the selvedge area have two layers, the conductive warp yarns 101 and 102 are located in the upper layer, and the additional conductive warp yarns 103 and 104 are also located in the upper layer. The 4 conductive warp yarns are divided into an inner group and an outer group, the inner group is conductive warp yarns 102 and 104, and the contact or isolation condition of the newly added conductive warp yarn 104 and the conductive weft yarn is the same as that of the conductive weft yarn 102; the outer group is conductive warp yarns 101 and 103, and the contact or isolation between the newly added conductive warp yarn 103 and the conductive weft yarn is the same as that of the conductive weft yarn 101. During detection, two conductive clamps 8 for signal derivation are used, one is clamped on 101/103, the other is clamped on 102/104, and if the two clamps are conducted, water drops on the cloth surface can be reflected. Thus, even if 1 or two groups of 1 break in 4 conductive warp yarns, the detection function of the whole fabric is not lost, and the reliability in use is increased. However, if the number of conductive warp yarns is further increased, for example, to 6 to 20, that is, 3 to 10 yarns per group, the reliability is further improved. In addition, the structure of the internal and external grouping of the plurality of conductive warps is convenient for signal extraction, and when the conductive clamp is used for clamping the corresponding conductive warps, the probability of clamping is high if the number of the conductive warps is large. However, the more the conductive warp yarns are, the higher the added cost is, and since the conductive warp yarns are more costly than ordinary yarns, the number of conductive warp yarns is preferably 10 or less.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the 4 conductive warp yarns in fig. 6 may be disposed in the lower layer warp yarns, so as to perform the same function.
Next, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of a liquid leakage sensor fabric with conductive warps added and separated into groups according to another embodiment of the present invention. The conductive warp yarns 105, 102 are shown as a group, in contact with and conductive with the even-numbered conductive weft yarns, and isolated and insulated from the odd-numbered conductive weft yarns; similarly, the conductive warp yarns 106, 101 are another group, and are in contact with and in conduction with the odd-numbered conductive weft yarns, and are isolated and insulated from the even-numbered conductive weft yarns. Although the structure can prevent the functional failure caused by the breakage of a single conductive warp, the signal is not convenient to be led out, when the two conductive clamps 8 are used for clamping, as the clamps are conductive, 105 and 101 are easily conducted, and 105 is connected with 102, the two clamps are also conducted, so that even if no water drops exist on the cloth surface, the two clamps can be conducted mutually, and the misoperation is formed. In this case, the problem can be solved by using a plurality of clamps with smaller areas, but the clamps are more troublesome to manufacture and use.
As can be seen from fig. 6 and 7, the plurality of conductive warp yarns are divided into two groups, i.e., an inner group and an outer group, each group is in contact with or isolated from the conductive weft yarns according to the same rule, and the groups cannot be separated from each other as shown in fig. 7 because the signal extraction is inconvenient.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic structural view of a liquid leakage sensor fabric according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which conductive warps are disposed on both sides of the fabric. The fabric in fig. 1 and 6 can be cut for use, but only the part containing the leading-out electrode, namely the conductive warp yarn, namely the left half part and the right half part have no detection function because the leading-out electrode is not arranged, and the fabric can only be discarded in use, so that a certain degree of waste is caused. Fig. 8 is provided with 4 conductive warp yarns, the left sides are still 101 and 102, both of which are located in the upper layer warp yarns, the right sides are conductive warp yarns 111 and 112, the right fabric edge area is also provided with upper and lower layers of warp yarns, both of the conductive warp yarns 111 and 112 are located in the upper layer warp yarns, the contact or isolation condition of the conductive warp yarn 111 and the conductive weft yarn is the same as 101, and the contact or isolation condition of the conductive warp yarn 112 and the conductive weft yarn is the same as 102. When the first conductive weft 201 is woven, the first conductive weft is respectively and normally interwoven with the left conductive warp 101 and the right conductive warp 111, so that the first conductive weft is contacted and electrically connected with the left conductive warp 102 and the right conductive warp 112, and is isolated and electrically insulated from the left conductive warp 102 and the right conductive warp 112 in a mode of wrapping the conductive warp by the non-conductive warp; the second conductive weft 202 is opposite to the first conductive weft 201, i.e. contacts and electrically connects with the left conductive warp 102 and the right conductive warp 112, and is isolated and electrically insulated from the left conductive warp 101 and the right conductive warp 111 by wrapping the conductive warp with the non-conductive warp. In this way, the conductive warps 101 and 102 are left leading-out electrodes, and the conductive warps 111 and 112 are right leading-out electrodes, so that when the fabric is used, whether water drops exist on the surface of the fabric can be judged only according to whether the leading-out electrode on one side is conducted, namely whether the conductive warps 101 and 102 or the conductive warps 111 and 112 are conducted. When the fabric is cut, the left half part is the fabric in fig. 5, which can be used normally; the right half is the fabric of fig. 9 and still can be used normally.
In order to increase the reliability in use and prevent the loss of detection function caused by the breakage of the conductive warps, the conductive warps on the left and right sides can be increased as shown in figure 6, for example, 8-40 conductive warps are arranged, namely 4-20 conductive warps on each side; each side is divided into two groups, 2-10 groups. Of course, the number of the conductive warps on the left side and the right side can be different, as long as the number of the conductive warps on each side is even.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the 4 conductive warp yarns in fig. 8 may also be all disposed in the lower layer warp yarns. In other embodiments of the present invention, the conductive warp yarns 101, 102 in fig. 8 may be located in the upper layer warp yarns of the left selvedge area, and the conductive warp yarns 111, 112 may be located in the lower layer warp yarns of the right selvedge area; alternatively, conductive warp yarns 101, 102 are in the lower layer warp yarns of the left selvedge area and conductive warp yarns 111, 112 are in the upper layer warp yarns of the right selvedge area.
Obviously, the liquid leakage sensor fabric of the utility model can be cut at will without influencing the use, and the fabric can be directly woven and can be used after being woven, therefore, once the fabric is put on the machine, the fabric can be conveniently produced in batches without other treatments; higher reliability can be achieved when a plurality of conductive warps are used; the structure that a plurality of conductive warps are arranged on two sides is used, the left half part and the right half part can be used after cutting, and waste is avoided.
The utility model discloses a fabric is as liquid leakage sensor, can be used to detect whether liquid leaks take place in the pipe connection department. When the conductive warp yarn clamp is used, only the outer side of a pipeline joint is required to be wrapped, and two groups of conductive warp yarns in the cloth edge area on the same side are respectively clamped by two conductive clamps.
However, when the pipeline is a metal pipeline, the conductive weft yarn in the fabric cloth body area is in contact with the metal pipeline and is electrically conducted, and at the moment, the sensor fabric has false operation, so that the detection is inaccurate. Therefore, a plurality of non-conductive covering weft yarns are further woven into the fabric, and the non-conductive covering weft yarns are positioned above the conductive weft yarns in the fabric body area of the fabric, or the non-conductive covering weft yarns are positioned below the conductive weft yarns in the fabric body area of the fabric, so that a structure that the surface, contacting with the metal pipeline, of the conductive weft yarns is covered by the non-conductive covering weft yarns is formed. The non-conductive covering weft yarn is utilized to cover the conductive weft yarn positioned in the fabric body area, so that the direct contact between the conductive weft yarn and the metal pipeline can be avoided, and the false operation of the sensor fabric is avoided. Taking the structure shown in fig. 3 as an example, after the conductive weft yarn 202 is woven, a non-conductive covering weft yarn 212 may be woven next to be located below the conductive weft yarn 202 in the body fabric area, so as to cover the conductive weft yarn 202 in the body fabric area, and the specific structure is shown in fig. 10. Note that production practice shows that the non-conductive covering weft yarn 212 can reliably cover the conductive weft yarn 202 by weaving twice, and the non-conductive covering weft yarn 212 cannot be woven simultaneously according to the interweaving structure of the conductive weft yarn 202, that is, two yarns cannot be woven at a time, because the two yarns may roll and rotate during weaving simultaneously, the conductive weft yarn is exposed.
The above-mentioned mode that utilizes non-conductive woof to cover electrically conductive woof is applicable to the utility model discloses all embodiments have solved the problem that the electrically conductive woof of cloth body district and metal pipeline direct contact take place the sensor malfunction.
The present invention has been disclosed in the foregoing with reference to the preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention, and all technical solutions obtained by adopting equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation schemes fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
