Description

The invention relates to gas stations, in particular to mobile gas stations.

State of the art

A known mobile combined ground service station (patent application CN 101722937) having a petroleum product tank and an external tank; the cavity filled with magnesium and other fire-extinguishing agents between the container and the outer container; the outer tank is mounted on the base with several intermediate supports. The external tank has an oil filler hatch and is connected to the oil tank by pipes. The column is mounted at one end of the base and has a petroleum pump, housing and flow rate gauge. The pump is connected to the oil tank by pipe; a canopy above the gas station with a solar panel and battery. The main disadvantage of a known device is the need to mount it on a base, which limits the mobility of the device as well as the inability to quickly mount it in the required location.

A mobile gas station is known (International Patent Application WO2008 / 124973). The unit has a fuel tank and a fuel feed line connected to a filling machine. The fuel tank has a double wall. Between the double walls of the fuel tank there is an insulating material and an explosion protection material, as well as an intermediate layer. A platform is placed beneath the fuel tank and the refueling machine. A canopy with walls is installed above the platform. The platform is attached to a guard base. The unit is equipped with a pressure equalization valve and a T-shaped valve mounted on a pipe connected via a pressure equalization valve to the fuel tank. The main disadvantage of this unit is the necessity to mount it on the base, which limits the mobility of the unit as well as the inability to quickly mount it in the required location.

The essence of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a mobile service station which can be transported as a technical unit by a conventional truck or other vehicle for the transport of goods and quickly installed at the required location without the need for construction and essential installation work.

This purpose is achieved by creating a mobile refueling module (for example, for filling with liquefied gas), which has a rectangular parallelepiped frame (preferably the size of a marine container) made of metal profiles or composite material profiles with a built-in fuel tank (e.g. , liquefied gas), as well as the mechanisms for refueling and accounting and financial accounting to form a transportable service station.

FIG. 2 - bottom view of the device;

FIG. 3 - image from left:

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a device self-service machine.

The mobile refueling module (Fig. 1) has a rectangular parallelepiped frame 1 made of metal profiles or composite material profiles having a receptacle 2 inside for fuel (such as liquefied gas, including liquefied propane or natural gas), at least one a column 3, a fuel pump 4, a self-service vending machine 5 for billing and refueling (vending machine 5 or vending terminal has a monitor, a cash register module, an electronic card reader, a network connection module, an electronic calculator, a data input and output device , electrically connected to an electronic calculator, enabling remote fuel metering and electronic transmission of other statistics to the service station operator, and enabling cash and / or non-cash billing), filter 6, ball s clamps 7, overflow valve 8, pipes 9.

The profiles of the frame 1, directed vertically and horizontally, can be further reinforced by transverse joints - angles 10. In addition, the longitudinal profiles located in the lower and upper planes of the frame 1 can be reinforced and joined to the profiles perpendicular thereto. forms. Frame 1 may be covered with a metal mesh or equivalent material to protect the unit and to protect users. For safety reasons, the container 2 may have a double wall. The space between the walls should preferably be filled with insulating material and explosion-proof material.

The tank 2 is connected to the pipes 9 by at least one fuel column 3 and a fuel pump 4, thereby ensuring that the fuel is pumped from the tank 2 to the fuel column hose 3 and the fuel injection gun. The fuel pump 4 is coupled to a self-service machine 5 and can receive and send a signal (for example, an electrical or radio signal) that commands the appropriate element of the unit to start or stop operation. Pipes 9 have filters 6 for filtering fuel and protecting the column 3. In addition, the pipes 9 have ball valves 7 for closing the fuel supply from the tank 2 as well as the fuel to each column 3. The device also has a bypass valve 8 for feeding fuel back from filter 6 to tank 2 if the pressure in filter 6 exceeds a predetermined pressure value.

The cash register module 5 of the vending machine (or the trading terminal) and the electronic card reader are electrically connected to the calculating device, the data input and output device and the module for connection to the Internet network (Fig. 4).

The unit provided may be connected to an autonomous or continuous power source, providing self-service automatic 5, column 3, fuel pump 4, and other electrical elements of the unit.

A mobile service station can be transported as a technical unit by hoisting it by a mobile crane or other lifting mechanism onto a standard cargo platform that delivers the service station to the required location.

To refuel, the user inserts a fuel gun into the automotive fuel tank filler slot into a self-service vending machine 5 (cash register module), inserts the desired amount of cash or payment card (into an electronic card reader) and enters information about the selected column and / or amount of fuel. The cash register module or smart card reader sends a signal to a calculator which, after processing the received data (for example, that there is enough money in the user's bank account to successfully complete the transaction, about the accumulated reward points of the user, etc.), sends an electric signal to pump 4 from Capacity 2 to Column 3. This starts fueling the fuel tank of the consumer car. When the amount of fuel has been filled, the fuel supply is automatically stopped (machine 5 sends a command to stop pump 4). The user is warned by an audible or other warning signal to remove the fuel gun. As a safety precaution, the machine 5 may be equipped with optional emergency stop measures. This can be either an electronic unit adapted to send a stop signal to the pump 4 or a mechanical unit, such as a ball valve, for disconnecting the fuel supply to the fuel tank of the user's car.

The Internet Connection Module provides data exchange between the vending machine's 5 calculator and the service station operator's server.
