In the drawings, the same reference numbers are used throughout the specification to refer to the same or like parts.

Throughout this specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to another part, it is not limited to a case where it is "directly connected" but also includes the case where it is "electrically connected" do.

It will be appreciated that throughout the specification it will be understood that when a member is located on another member "top", "top", "under", "bottom" But also the case where there is another member between the two members as well as the case where they are in contact with each other.

The present disclosure relates to a leak detection apparatus and a leak detection system including the same.

First, a leak detection device (hereinafter referred to as a "leak detection device 1") according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The leakage detection device 1 senses the leakage of the substance in the facility 9, for example, the facility 9 refers to a receiver for receiving the fluid or a tube through which the fluid flows, , The oil storage tank, the environmental pest storage facility, the transfer facility, the connection portion between the transfer facilities, the valve of the transfer facility, and the like may be included in the facility 9.

More specifically, the leak detection device (1) is applied to chemical tanks, oil (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, aviation oil, etc.) tanks used by chemical handling companies scattered in various industrial complexes, In order to quickly detect the leakage caused by the leak.

In particular, acidic chemicals and alkaline chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid pose a great risk to the human body and the environment when leaking. The leak detection device (1) quickly detects the leakage of such acidic chemicals and alkaline chemicals And can actively prevent water accidents such as safety accidents and marine and rivers and soil contamination.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the leakage detection device 1, and FIG. 2 is a schematic front view showing the appearance of the leakage detection device 1 viewed from the front.

Referring to Fig. 1, the leakage detection apparatus 1 includes a sensor unit 11. Fig. The sensor unit 11 outputs a leak detection signal for the contacted substance when the resistivity value of the contacted substance corresponds to the set reference resistance value range.

The reference resistance value range may mean a range of a resistance value that the present leak detection device 1 can have for a target substance (hereinafter referred to as a "target substance") that should be detected. The reference resistance value range is set to a specific resistance value range of the object material in the range of the component formed at the position where the leakage detection device 1 is installed, taking into consideration that the resistivity value of the object material differs depending on the component of the substance . Accordingly, the leakage detection device 1 includes a sensor portion capable of measuring a resistance value according to a component or a component.

In addition, the reference resistance value range may vary depending on the temperature, even if the components of the target substance are the same. Accordingly, the specific resistance value range of the target substance can be set in consideration of the ambient temperature formed at the position where the leakage sensing apparatus 1 is installed. For example, the leakage detection device 1 may have a temperature sensor capable of measuring the temperature, and the range of the specific resistance value may be corrected according to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. Illustratively, the leakage detection apparatus 1 has a look up table in which a range of intrinsic resistance values depending on temperature is recorded in a table form, and the reference resistance value range Can be changed to the presently measured temperature, so that more accurate leakage material discrimination and detection can be performed.

Accordingly, the fact that the intrinsic resistance value of the object material corresponds to the reference resistance value range means that the intrinsic resistance value of the object material is included in the reference resistance value range.

The sensor unit 11 compares the intrinsic resistance value of the contacted substance with the reference resistance value range when the substance is in contact with the contacted substance, and when the intrinsic resistance value of the contacted substance corresponds to the reference resistance value range, It can be determined that the substance is a substance and a leak detection signal can be output.

Illustratively, when the leakage detection device 1 is applied to detect the leakage of distilled water, the sensor unit 11 may have a range of the reference resistance value including a resistance value that the distilled water can have. That is, when the sensor unit 11 is in contact with the substance, the sensor unit 11 compares the intrinsic resistance value of the contacted substance with the reference resistance value range. If the intrinsic resistance value of the substance corresponds to the reference resistance value range, The substance is judged to be distilled water, and a leak detection signal is output. If the intrinsic resistance value of the material does not correspond to the reference resistance value range, the substance that is in contact with the sensor unit 11 is determined to be a substance other than an alkaline substance. The sensor unit 11 outputs a leak detection signal I never do that.

Illustratively, the reference resistance value range may be set to one or more of 1 k? To 250 k ?, 250 k? To 1 M ?, 1 to 5 M ?, and 5 to 50 M ?.

In this case, if the intrinsic resistance value of the substance sensed by the sensor unit 11 is not less than 1 k? And not more than 250 k ?, the contacted substance can be judged as water. If the intrinsic resistance value of the material sensed by the sensor unit 11 is more than 250 k O and less than 1 M OMEGA, the contacted substance can be judged to be one of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, antioxidant, and alkaline substance. If the intrinsic resistance value of the substance sensed by the sensor unit 11 is more than 1 M OMEGA and less than 5 M OMEGA, the contacted substance can be judged to be distilled water. If the intrinsic resistance value of the substance sensed by the sensor unit 11 is more than 5 M OMEGA and 50 M OMEGA or less, the contacted substance can be judged to be highly purified distilled water.

For example, when the leak detection device is installed in a predetermined fluid storage facility and applied to detect leakage, the sensor portion 11 may have a plurality of reference resistance value ranges, and when the material is contacted, The resistance value can be compared with each of the plurality of reference resistance value ranges to specifically determine what the contacted substance is. For example, when the sensor unit 11 has a first reference resistance value range of 1 k? To 250 k? And a second reference resistance value range of 1 M? To 5 M ?, the sensor unit 11 distinguishes water and distilled water In this state, if the resistivity value of the contacted substance is not less than 1 k? And not more than 250 k ?, the sensor unit 11 can judge that water has leaked.

For reference, the distillation water of the present invention corresponds to the distilled water, the distilled water, the distilled water, and the high-purity distilled water. Distilled water, activated carbon filter, ion exchange filter, semi-permeable membrane, etc., and quaternary distilled water having a purification process similar to that of a kind of chromatography may be regarded as high purity distilled water. Also as described above. Water is a substance having an intrinsic resistance value of 1 kΩ or more and 250 kΩ or less, a substance having an intrinsic resistance value of more than 1 MΩ and 5 MΩ or less, distilled water having a specific resistance value of more than 5 MΩ and 50 MΩ or less It can be classified according to the resistivity value.

Also, the sensor unit 11 can derive the relationship between the intrinsic resistance value of the sensed substance and the reference resistance value range. Illustratively, the difference between the resistivity value of the sensed material and the reference resistance value can be derived.

In addition, the sensor unit 11 may include a sensitivity adjusting unit 111 for adjusting a reference resistance value range. Illustratively, when the type of the substance accommodated in the facility 9 to which the present leak detection device 1 is applied is changed, or when the type of the substance to be sensed through the leak detection device 1 is changed, It is necessary to adjust the reference resistance value range according to the resistance value. At this time, the reference resistance value range of the sensor unit 11 can be adjusted by the sensitivity adjusting unit. As another example, it may happen that the reference resistance value range needs to be corrected. At this time, the reference resistance value range of the sensor unit 11 can be adjusted by the sensitivity adjustment unit 111 and corrected.

2, the sensitivity adjusting unit 111 may be provided as an analog type unit capable of physically adjusting the reference resistance value range, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the sensitivity adjusting unit 111 may be provided as a digital type unit in which a plurality of reference resistance value ranges can be set. In other words, the sensor unit 11 may be set to only one reference resistance value range corresponding to one substance to be sensed, such as a substance accommodated in the facility 9 to which the present leak detection device 1 is applied, It may be set to sense a plurality of substances separately from each other with a reference resistance value range.

In addition, the reference resistance value range of the sensitivity adjusting unit 111 can be remotely adjusted from the outside. For example, when the present leak detection device 1 is applied to an underground facility, the present leak detection device 1 is buried in the ground together with the underground facility, Can be easily controlled.

1 and 2, the leakage detection apparatus 1 may include a communication unit 13 for transmitting a leak detection signal to the outside. Thus, leakage of the target substance from the outside can be confirmed. The communication unit 13 can wirelessly transmit a leak detection signal to the outside. In addition, the communication unit 13 can transmit a signal to the outside through the RS485 communication system and receive an external signal.

In addition, the communication unit 13 can transmit information (or signal) about the type of the sensed substance determined by the sensor unit 11 to the outside. The communication unit 13 can transmit the relationship between the intrinsic resistance value of the sensed substance derived from the sensor unit 11 and the reference resistance value range to the outside.

1 and 2, the leakage detection apparatus 1 may include a power supply unit 15 for supplying power to the sensor unit 11 and the communication unit 13. [

In the leakage detection device 1, the power supply unit 15 may be a first mode in which power supply to the communication unit 13 is stopped if the leakage detection signal is not output for a predetermined time or more.

For example, if the leak detection signal is not output for one hour, the power supply unit 13 may stop the power supply to the communication unit 13. [ However, the predetermined time may be set differently as needed. For example, if the self-generating portion 17 generates a small amount of self-generated power, the predetermined time may be shortened.

The condition that the leak detection signal is not output for a predetermined time or longer is understood as a concept including the state where the leak detection device 1 is installed and then the leak detection signal is not outputted yet.

The power supply unit 15 may be a second mode for supplying power to the communication unit 13 when a leak detection signal is output. Accordingly, in the second mode, the communication unit 13 can transmit a leak detection signal to the outside at a preset transmission interval. Illustratively, the communication unit 13 may transmit a leak detection signal at intervals of three seconds

That is, in the present leakage detection device 1, when the leakage of the target substance is not detected and leakage is not detected, the power supply to the communication unit 13 is stopped and the communication unit 13 is turned off When the leak detection signal is output, the communication unit 13 can be powered on and the communication unit 13 can be turned on to transmit the leakage detection signal to the outside.

In general, since the sensing device is composed of electronic parts and circuits, surges are frequently introduced when a lightning stroke, an overvoltage, or the like occurs, and the sensing device is frequently damaged. Particularly, in the case of breakage due to surge inflow, damage to IC devices, circuit diagrams, and other parts was accompanied, which made repair impossible or costly to repair.

In the present leakage detection device 1, the supply of power to the communication unit 13 is stopped in a state in which leakage of the target substance is not detected and leakage is not detected, so that the surge can be minimized.

The leakage detection device 1 can be configured to turn off the communication unit 13 in a state in which leakage of the target substance is not detected and leakage is not detected so as to prevent the occurrence of lightning or other overvoltage, The damage can be prevented in advance.

1, the leakage detection device 1 may include a self-generating portion 17. The self-power generation unit 17 can generate electric power by self-power generation using ECO energy and supply power to the power supply unit 15. [ Illustratively, the self-generating portion 17 may include a solar panel.

As described above, in the present leakage detection apparatus 1, in a state in which no leakage of the target substance occurs and no leakage is detected through the first and second modes, the supply of power to the communication section 13 is stopped, When the leakage detection signal is output, the communication unit 13 is powered on to switch the communication unit 13 to the on state, So that the amount of energy consumption can be minimized and the power can be driven by the power generated through self-power generation without the need for an external power source.

For example, the oil storage tanks are installed at a considerable distance from the building. To install the leak detection device, a power line and a communication line are installed by installing several hundred meters. In order to install the leakage sensing device, Or installation of the electric pole stands up.

On the other hand, when the leakage is not detected, the leakage detection device 1 stops the power supply to the communication unit 13 and turns off the communication unit 13 to be produced through the self power generation unit 17 By driving only with electric power, an independent leak detection system can be constructed without power supply from the outside.

In addition, as described above, since the communication unit 13 transmits and receives signals and information wirelessly, it is not necessary to connect a communication cable, so that it is possible to save time and cost for connecting the communication cable.

That is, the leak detection device 1 of the present embodiment does not need a wired connection of the communication cable by the communication unit wirelessly transmitting and receiving a signal to the outside. In addition, by driving according to the first mode and the second mode, it is possible to minimize the consumption of energy and to have a system driven by the power generated by the self-generating unit 17, so that the power cable from the outside need not be connected. This saves time and money for connecting communication cables and power cables.

Also, when a plurality of leak detection devices are installed along a transfer line in a facility such as a railway or a large-scale transport pipe, a huge amount of time and cost can be incurred if the power connection or communication connection is made by wire. On the other hand, according to the leakage detection device 1 of the present invention, since the energy consumed is minimized, an independent self-power generation system is constructed and the communication is also made to be wireless so that the connection of the communication cable and the power cable is unnecessary, And an economical leak detection system can be constructed.

Further, when the communication unit 13 is turned off in the first mode, the amount of wireless data can be minimized, and the noise in wireless communication can be minimized. For example, in order to minimize noise in wireless RS485 communication, it is necessary to minimize the amount of wireless data. Accordingly, when there is no event such as a leak detection signal output, the communication unit 13 enters the first mode corresponding to the self standby mode, thereby minimizing power consumption.

Meanwhile, in the first mode, the sensor unit 11 can sense a substance at a predetermined first sensing interval. Illustratively, the sensor unit 11 can detect the material at intervals of one second in the first mode. In the first mode, at least one of the sensor unit 11, the communication unit 13, the power supply unit 15 and the self-generating unit 17 can be checked at a preset check interval. Illustratively, in the case of the power supply unit 15, the state can be checked once a day. The checked state of at least one of the sensor unit 11, the communication unit 13, the power supply unit 15 and the self power generation unit 17 can be transmitted to the outside by the communication unit 13. [

In addition, in the second mode, the communication unit 13 may transmit a leak detection signal at a predetermined transmission interval until a response signal is received from the outside after transmitting the leak detection signal to the outside. Illustratively, the preset transmission interval may be 3 seconds, but is not limited thereto. For example, the predetermined transmission interval may be set differently based on the self generation amount of the self power generation portion.

In addition, after the leakage detection signal is output, the sensor unit 11 in the second mode can detect the material at the second predetermined sensing interval. Illustratively, the sensor unit 11 can sense the material at intervals of one second in the second mode. If the leak detection signal is no longer output while the sensor unit 11 is detecting the substance at the second detection interval after the leakage detection signal is output in the second mode, The leak detection signal can be transmitted to the outside at a predetermined transmission interval until a response signal comes. In this case, the preset transmission interval may be 3 seconds. . The second sensing interval in the second mode and the transmission interval of the communication unit 13 can be set differently based on the self generation amount of the self power generation unit.

That is, the self-generating unit 17 may have a first mode including a first sensing interval, and a self-generating capacity capable of covering a strategy usage amount in a second mode including a second sensing interval and a transmission interval. In other words, the self-generating portion 17 may have a self-generated amount capable of covering the amount of electric power used by being sensed according to the first sensing interval in the first mode. In addition, the self-power generating unit 17 may have a self-generated amount capable of covering an amount of electric power used when the second mode is sensed according to the second sensing interval and communication is performed according to a preset transmission interval.

The present leakage detection device 1 can be installed in a portion where it is determined that leakage is likely to occur in the facility 9.

For example, when the facility 9 is an environmental pest storage facility, a transfer facility, etc., the present leak detection device can be installed to easily detect leakage of environmentally harmful substances by installing it at a site or a point where leakage easily occurs. When the facility (9) is a dangerous material transfer facility, the present leak detection device (1) can be attached to an area where leakage easily occurs, such as a connection part of the transfer facility, have.

In addition, a plurality of leak detection devices 1 may be installed in the facility 9. Accordingly, when a leak occurs at a certain point, a point where the main leak sensor 1, which has transmitted the leak detection signal among the plurality of main leakage sensors 1, is installed can be detected as a leak occurrence point. More specifically, when the facility 9 is a dangerous goods store, a plurality of leakage detection devices 1 seen along the periphery thereof may be installed to detect immediately when a dangerous substance is leaked, .

In addition, the leak detection device 1 may be a sealing process in which moisture is introduced into the leakage detection device 1 from the source. Accordingly, the present leakage sensing device 1 can be provided with durability against humidity in the direction of minimizing the influence on the installation place (for example, underground and mountainous area).

3 is a schematic diagram for explaining a leak detection system including the leakage detection device.

Referring to FIG. 3, an external device that receives the leak detection signal transmitted by the communication unit 13 may be the detection and collection device 3. The sensing and collecting device 3 can receive the leak detection signal and form information through the received signal and transmit it to the outside. Further, the detection and collection device 3 can send a response signal to the leak detection device 1. For example, you can send a response signal to the leak detection device. The sensing and collecting device 3 can adjust the reference resistance value range of the present leakage sensing device 1 by adjusting the sensitivity adjusting portion of the sensor portion 11 of the present leakage sensing device 1. [

Also, the detection and collection device 3 can reconstruct the received leak detection signal into information based on the mobile and transmit it to the external server 5. Illustratively, when a chemical or oil leaked from a dangerous goods storage tank or transfer facility is detected, the detection and collection device 3 transfers the mobile-based information to the regulatory body and the 119 fire brigade, You can have your workforce quickly check with your mobile device.

In addition, the information transmitted by the detection and collection device 3 can be received by the external server 5. [ Illustratively, the external server 5 may be one or more of the supervisory facilities of the facility 9 to which the present leak detection device 1 is applied, the fire safety headquarters, the accident remediation agency, and the like. Also, the external server 5 may be a server associated with the incident response information system (CARIS) of the environment unit.

The main leakage sensing device 1 as described above is a ubiquitous-based leakage sensing device, and can freely transmit and receive signals to / from the outside by a wireless communication network. In addition, the substance sensed by the present leakage sensing device 1 may be a substance corresponding to an environmentally harmful substance. For example, the material may be any of a variety of chemicals used in a chemical handling company located in various industrial complexes. Alternatively, the material may be light oil, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, etc. stored in the oil tank. That is, when the facilities for storing or transporting environmentally harmful substances as described above are aged or some harmful substances are leaked out due to unexpected accidents, the leak detection device 1 can promptly detect them, It can be used to establish a system in which appropriate responses can be made by notifying the institution immediately and the situation can be quickly spread to the client.

In addition, the present disclosure can provide a leak detection system according to an embodiment including the above-described leak detection device 1. Referring to FIG. 3, the leak detection system according to one embodiment of the present invention receives the leakage detection signal transmitted from the main leakage detection device 1, the leakage detection device 1 described above, forms information, And an external server 5 for receiving the information transmitted by the detection collecting apparatus 3. [

Here, the external server 5 may be a central monitoring room related to the leak detection of the facility 9 or a server constructed in correspondence with the related organization. For example, when the leak detection device 1 senses a leak and wirelessly transmits the information to the detection collection device 3, the detection collection device 3 directly or after processing the leak information received, Or an alarm function for communicating to a related authority can be established.
