Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kerosene supply system, and more particularly to a system for centrally supplying kerosene from a kerosene tank to kerosene consumers living on each floor of a multi-storey building.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
The supply of kerosene used as fuel in ordinary households,
This is done by each kerosene consumer (each household, etc.) individually purchasing small quantities from kerosene suppliers in portable tanks and the like. In this case, kerosene is injected into each kerosene-burning device at each home, for example, a device tank of a kerosene water heater or a kerosene heater.

In recent years, however, kerosene tanks have been installed in advance outdoors, for example, on the ground or underground, for each kerosene consumer or for a group of a plurality of kerosene consumers (such as an apartment house). Systems for supplying kerosene to equipment via kerosene piping have begun to spread. Although such a kerosene supply system requires an initial investment, once the system has been constructed, the kerosene supply company supplies kerosene to each kerosene consumer and the associated charges from each kerosene consumer. There is an advantage that collection and supply of kerosene to kerosene combustion equipment by each kerosene consumer can be facilitated.

[0004] In particular, in the case of an apartment house where kerosene consumers reside on each floor of a multi-storey building, kerosene tanks shared by many kerosene consumers are installed, and a large number of kerosene demands are supplied from the common kerosene tanks. The advantage of a kerosene centralized supply system that supplies kerosene to consumers is great. In the case of such an apartment house in which a large number of kerosene consumers live, a common kerosene tank having a large capacity is required accordingly, and the common kerosene tank is generally buried underground.

Conventionally, in the case of a multi-story apartment house, kerosene is temporarily lifted from a common kerosene tank buried underground to a rooftop tank, and the height difference is used from the rooftop tank in order to supply kerosene to each kerosene consumer. And distribute it to each kerosene consumer on each floor. For this reason, it is necessary to install a tank having a relatively large capacity on the roof of the building. Further, once the remaining amount of kerosene in the roof tank reaches the minimum allowable level, the required amount (for example, the maximum allowable level) is detected. The amount of kerosene supplied to the roof tank is limited to a minimum amount, so a pump with a relatively large capacity is required.

[0006] Kerosene is always stored in the rooftop tank, and the natural environment on the building rooftop changes greatly. For example, the temperature difference between the rooftop tank at daytime and nighttime is often 50 ° C or more. In addition, cracks, gaps, or looseness may occur in the roof tank or a connection portion between the roof tank and the kerosene pipe connected thereto, and kerosene may leak therefrom.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a kerosene supply system which has a low possibility of breakage of equipment such as pipes and tanks used in a kerosene supply system and a low possibility of kerosene leakage from the kerosene supply system. Is to provide. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a kerosene centralized supply system that does not require a large-capacity tank or a large-capacity pump other than a common kerosene tank.

In an emergency such as an earthquake or a fire (a fire in a portion belonging to the kerosene centralized supply system and a nearby fire) or a kerosene leak on a kerosene consumer side of the kerosene centralized supply system, It is important from a disaster prevention point of view to stop kerosene supply to the whole system or the required parts promptly. Further, it is necessary to stop the supply of kerosene to the entire system or a required part for maintenance and inspection of the system.

Accordingly, the present invention also provides a kerosene centralized supply system capable of easily and surely stopping kerosene supply in an emergency or required time in a kerosene supply system and improving safety. It is the purpose.

A fire alarm is connected to the disaster prevention monitor.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the entire configuration of the above-mentioned customer flow meter, particularly a flow rate detection system. These flowmeters are, for example, indirectly heated thermal flowmeters described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-118566, and measure the instantaneous flow rate or integrated flow rate of kerosene flowing in a kerosene flow passage (pipe). The corresponding electric signal is output.

The ends of the fin plates 24 and 24 ′ of the flow rate detecting unit 4 and the fluid temperature detecting unit 6 extend into the fluid flow passage 3 formed in the flow passage member 2. The fin plates 24, 24 'extend through the center of the cross section in the fluid flow passage 3 having a substantially circular cross section. The fin plates 24, 24 'are arranged along the flow direction of the fluid in the fluid (kerosene) flow passage 3, so that the fin plates 24, 24' do not greatly affect the fluid flow, and the flow rate detection unit 22 and the fluid temperature detection unit are not affected. Good heat transfer between 22 'and the fluid is possible. The direction of fluid flow in the fluid flow passage 3 is indicated by an arrow.

A DC voltage V 1 is supplied from a power supply section of each kerosene tank 18 to a bridge circuit (detection circuit) 40. The bridge circuit 40 includes a thin film temperature sensing element 41 for flow rate detection of the flow rate detection unit 4, a thin film temperature sensing element 41 ′ for temperature compensation of the fluid temperature detection unit 6, and resistors 43 and 44. The potentials Va and Vb at points a and b of the bridge circuit 40 are input to the differential amplification / integration circuit 46.

On the other hand, the DC voltage V2 supplied from the power supply unit of each floor kerosene tank 18 is supplied to the thin film heating element via a transistor 50 for controlling the current supplied to the thin film heating element 48 of the flow rate detection unit 4. 48.
That is, in the flow rate detecting section 22, based on the heat generated by the thin film heating element 48, the thin film temperature sensing element 41 performs temperature sensing under the influence of heat absorption by the fluid to be detected via the fin plate 24. Then, as a result of the temperature sensing, a difference between the potentials Va and Vb at points a and b of the bridge circuit 40 is obtained.

The value of (Va-Vb) changes as the temperature of the flow sensing temperature sensing element 41 changes according to the flow rate of the fluid. By appropriately setting the resistance values of the resistors 43 and 44 of the bridge circuit 40 in advance, the value of (Va-Vb) can be set to zero in the case of a desired fluid flow rate as a reference. At this reference flow rate, the output of the differential amplification / integration circuit 46 is constant (a value corresponding to the reference flow rate), and the resistance value of the transistor 50 is also constant. In this case, the partial pressure applied to the thin-film heating element 48 is also constant, and the voltage at the point P at this time indicates the reference flow rate.

When the fluid flow rate increases or decreases, the output of the differential amplification / integration circuit 46 has a polarity (depending on the positive or negative of the resistance-temperature characteristic of the flow rate detecting temperature sensing element 41) according to the value of (Va-Vb). And the output of the differential amplifying / integrating circuit 46 changes accordingly.

When the fluid flow rate increases, the temperature of the flow rate detecting temperature sensing element 41 decreases. Therefore, differential amplification / integration is performed so as to increase the amount of heat generated by the thin film heating element 48 (that is, increase power). From the circuit 46, a control input to the base of the transistor 50 is made so as to decrease the resistance value of the transistor 50.

On the other hand, when the flow rate of the fluid decreases, the temperature of the temperature sensing element 41 rises,
In order to reduce the heat value of the transistor 8 (that is, reduce the power), the differential amplification / integration circuit 46 provides a control input to the base of the transistor 50 so as to increase the resistance value of the transistor 50.

As described above, the heat generation of the thin-film heating element 48 is feedback-controlled so that the temperature detected by the flow sensing element 41 always becomes the target value regardless of the change in the fluid flow rate. At this time, the thin film heating element 48
(Voltage at point P) corresponds to the fluid flow rate, and is taken out as a flow rate output. This flow rate output is A / D converted by the A / D converter 52,
After being accumulated by the PU 54, the accumulated flow is displayed by the accumulated flow rate display unit 56.

A control circuit 57 for controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the CPU 54. In addition, CPU
The 54 and the respective floor kerosene tanks 18 transmit and receive various signals such as an electric signal related to a flow rate such as an integrated flow rate and a signal related to solenoid valve control.

The consumer flow meter has been described above.
The check flow meter also has basically the same configuration.

Hereinafter, the operation of the kerosene centralized supply system of this embodiment, particularly, the operation of the main CPU will be described in detail.

First, in a normal use state of kerosene, the solenoid valve 1, the solenoid valve 3, and the solenoid valve 4 are all open, the solenoid valve 2 is closed, and the three-port solenoid valve is opened to the common pipe 32 side. I have.

The supply of kerosene to the kerosene tanks 18 on each floor : With the consumption of kerosene at each kerosene consumer's house, the kerosene tanks 18 on each floor
When the oil level in the inside falls and eventually reaches the permissible minimum level, a detection signal is input from the communication terminal to the main CPU via a signal line. Based on this signal input, the main CPU determines whether the solenoid valve 2 of the floor corresponding to the signal input is
Is opened, and one of the electromagnetic pumps a to c is driven to supply the kerosene in the common kerosene tank 12 to each floor kerosene tank 18 of the floor related to the signal input. Eventually, when the oil level in each of the floor kerosene tanks 18 rises and reaches the maximum allowable level, a detection signal is input from the communication terminal to the main CPU via a signal line. Based on this signal input, the main CPU stops driving the electromagnetic pumps a to c and closes the electromagnetic valve 2 of the floor corresponding to the signal input.

In the case where a request for kerosene replenishment to the kerosene tank 18 on each floor as described above occurs simultaneously for a plurality of residential floors, two or three of the electromagnetic pumps a to c are simultaneously driven to quickly perform. The kerosene replenishment for one residential floor can be completed and then the kerosene replenishment for the other residential floor can be performed.

On the other hand, kerosene replenishment to the kerosene tank 18 on each floor as described above can be executed in parallel for a plurality of living floors. In this case, when the number of residential floors for which kerosene is supplied at the same time is large, two or three of the electromagnetic pumps a to c can be driven simultaneously. Then, after the supply of kerosene for all the residential floors is completed, the driving of all the electromagnetic pumps a to c is stopped.

The amount of kerosene supplied to each floor kerosene tank 18 as described above is a capacity corresponding to the difference between the allowable minimum level and the allowable maximum level of each floor kerosene tank 18. However, when kerosene is consumed on the living floor at the time of kerosene replenishment, it is a value obtained by adding the consumed amount. Since the kerosene consumption during kerosene replenishment can be grasped by the main CPU,
The main CPU can add the amount and store it as one kerosene supply amount.

As described above, in this embodiment, the kerosene tanks 18 having a relatively small capacity are arranged on each of the dwelling floors, the kerosene remaining amount is detected, and the kerosene replenishment is performed each time the kerosene remaining amount becomes minimum. Therefore, although the number of times of kerosene replenishment is more frequent than in the past, it is not necessary to replenish a large amount of kerosene at a time, and therefore, pumps a to f having relatively small capacities can be used. There is an advantage that a method of appropriately setting the number of small pumps to be driven according to the number of living floors to be simultaneously replenished by using a combination of a plurality of small pumps is possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to install a relatively large roof tank, so that it is possible to prevent a kerosene leak frequently occurring in the roof tank and its surroundings.

Detection of kerosene leakage in the kerosene supply system : This operation is executed at appropriate times, for example, periodically, for each of the following route sections.

(1) From the electromagnetic pump to the kerosene tank 18 on each floor
In accordance with a command from the main CPU, the solenoid valves 2 of all the living floors were closed (or confirmed to be closed), the solenoid valves 1 were closed, and the three-port solenoid valves were opened to the common pipe 32 side. After that (or confirming that it is closed), one of the electromagnetic pumps a to f is driven, and the flow rate of kerosene in the bypass pipe 36 is detected by the check flow meter. When the detected flow rate value is equal to or more than the allowable error range, it can be estimated that there is kerosene leakage in the route from the electromagnetic pump to each floor kerosene tank 18 of any of the dwellings.

By making the inside diameter of the bypass pipe 36 sufficiently smaller than that of the common pipe 32, the accuracy of flow rate detection by the check flow meter can be sufficiently increased (for example, detection of 20 cm ³ / h is possible). .

(2) Flow rate from the kerosene tank 18 to the customer
For each living floor on the route to the total , the kerosene tank 18
Kerosene consumption of all kerosene consumers on the living floor from the amount of kerosene replenished to the building (integrated flow rate detected using the customer flow meter)
If the value obtained by subtracting the sum is equal to or larger than the allowable error range, it can be estimated that there is kerosene leakage on the route from each floor kerosene tank 18 to any of the customer flow meters.

(3) From customer flow meter to kerosene combustion equipment
If the instantaneous flow rate detected by each customer flow meter continues to be lower than the minimum flow rate value (which can be known in advance) when the kerosene-burning device with the minimum kerosene consumption is used, the customer flow rate It can be estimated that there is kerosene leakage in the path from the meter to any of the kerosene-burning appliances.

Operation check of the electromagnetic pump : After closing the electromagnetic valve 1 and opening the 3-port electromagnetic valve to the return pipe 38 side,
One of the electromagnetic pumps a to f is driven, and the flow rate of kerosene in the bypass pipe 36 is detected by a check flow meter.
When the difference between the detected flow rate value and the set flow rate value of the electromagnetic pump is equal to or larger than the allowable error range, it can be estimated that the electromagnetic pump has functional deterioration. All electromagnetic pumps a to f
Check the operation individually.

Stopping kerosene supply in case of emergency or when required : When an accident such as kerosene leakage from a kerosene consumer's indoor piping occurs, the emergency stop button on the floor is pressed. Further, when it is desired to stop the kerosene supply for each required floor for maintenance / inspection of the kerosene supply system or the like, an emergency stop button (for stopping each floor) in the management room is pressed. In these cases, the main CPU controls to close the solenoid valve 3 of the floor. Control may be performed so that the electromagnetic valve 2 on the floor is closed together with the electromagnetic valve 3 on the floor.

When an accident occurs in the underground pump room, the emergency stop button in the underground pump room is pressed.
In addition, in the case of neighborhood fires and maintenance of kerosene supply system,
When the kerosene supply on all floors is to be stopped for inspection or the like, an emergency stop button (for stopping all floors) in the management room is pressed. In these cases, the main CPU
Controls to close the solenoid valves 2 on all floors. The electromagnetic valves 3 on all floors may be controlled to be closed together with the electromagnetic valves 2 on all floors.

When a fire signal is input from the fire alarm in the system to the disaster prevention monitoring panel, the signal is transmitted to the management company via a telephone line, and at the same time, a signal line,
It is transmitted to the kerosene supply company via a centralized meter reading board and a telephone line, and also transmitted to the main CPU via a signal line. The main CPU controls to close the solenoid valves 2 on all floors based on the fire signal. The electromagnetic valves 3 on all floors may be controlled to be closed together with the electromagnetic valves 2 on all floors.

When a seismic signal (having a seismic intensity equal to or greater than a predetermined seismic intensity) is input from the seismometer to the main CPU, the signal is transmitted via a signal line, a central meter reading board, a disaster prevention monitoring board, and a telephone line. It is communicated to kerosene supply companies and management companies.
Further, the main CPU controls to close the solenoid valves 2 on all floors based on the earthquake signal. The electromagnetic valves 3 on all floors may be controlled to be closed together with the electromagnetic valves 2 on all floors.

The solenoid valve 2 and the solenoid valve 3 once closed
Is opened after the required safety checks. This operation is performed under the control of the main CPU based on an appropriate control input to the main CPU (may be a remote input from a kerosene supplier).

The integrating flow meter according to the present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and is not limited to the one using a thermal flow sensor.
