The system is equipped with diesel level, temperature and density sensors installed in the tanks of the stationary fuel storage base, which are connected via transmitting devices to the specified stationary information processing system.

The disadvantage of this system is the lack of control of a number of technological parameters of fuel intake and dispensing, visualization and signaling facilities, which reduces its efficiency.

The objective of the utility model is to increase the efficiency of accounting for the receipt and release of fuel and to ensure registration and control of the parameters of the technological process of operation of the fuel warehouse, the technological process of the operation of the warehouse.

The solution to this problem is achieved by the fact that the system of automated accounting of diesel fuel in the fuel storage (SAU DT), comprising a device for automatically measuring the parameters and amount of fuel in tanks, an automated workstation equipped with software and hardware related to the information processing system, according to the utility model includes a device for automated measurement of parameters and amount of fuel in tanks, a multi-monitor system, warning equipment, a pairing device measuring instruments, rolling stock identification system, video surveillance system, automated fuel dispensers with a device for identifying refueling rolling stock on fuel dispenser cranes, while the information processing system includes a fuel storage hub connected via a local area network to all SAU DT elements.

In addition, in the inventive system, an automated workstation includes a terminal of the warehouse manager and a terminal of a pumping operator.

The figure shows a functional diagram of the self-propelled guns DT.

The automated diesel fuel metering system (SAU DT) includes a portable device 1 for automated measurement of the parameters and amount of fuel in tanks, designed to control the flow of fuel to the warehouse; device 2 for automatic measurement of parameters and amount of fuel in storage tanks; automated fuel dispensers (fuel dispensers) 3, which determine the amount of fuel dispensed in units of mass, with a device for identifying refueling diesel locomotives 4 on the dispenser cranes. The hub of the fuel depot 5 is the central component of the ACS DT and collects, processes and stores data from measuring automation and is connected with the use of Ethernet technology over a local network with all devices included in the ACS DT. A hub 5, a multi-monitor system 6, a warning device 7 about emergency situations, a device for interfacing 8 measuring instruments, technological and peripheral equipment with a hub 5 are installed in the control room. The system is also equipped with terminals 9, 10 of automated workstations for the warehouse manager and pumping operator, an identification system 11 for rolling stock and a video surveillance system 12.

The fuel storage concentrator 5 is a hardware-software complex made in the form of a cabinet with built-in industrial computers and providing equipment. All components that make up the ACS DT have a permanent connection to the hub 5.

The warehouse uses software components of information interaction within the information space of the ACS DT and with external automated systems of the linear and corporate level and software components of the data acquisition and peripheral device management mechanism - universal or specialized for a specific type of paired device.

ACS DT forms a single information space of the fuel storage, provides the ability to receive, process and transmit data through communication over a local area network with all the elements included in it, implements integration functions with external information and control systems, both within the fuel storage and storage railway complex as a whole.

SAU DT provides commodity accounting of the mass of oil products at the stages of fuel reception at the warehouse (checking and discharge of oil from oil carriers and tanks), storage of fuel in the warehouse (monitoring of parameters of oil products in storage tanks) and fuel dispensing to the consumer (fuel loading into locomotive tanks or oil tankers of the consumer) .

When receiving fuel, the amount of incoming fuel is measured by the portable device 1 for measuring the amount of fuel in the tank, after which the external device is connected to the hub 5 for transmitting the measurement results.

After receiving data from an external measuring device, the application software of the concentrator 5 verifies the compliance of the amount of incoming fuel according to the data declared during the shipment of fuel from the oil refinery.

In case of inconsistency of the data of the consignment note or the passport quality parameters with the actual values, a corresponding warning and a request for confirmation of fuel reception are generated.

After locating the locomotive in the filling position, the outfitter, having checked and opened the seals on the tank of the locomotive, inserts the gun into the neck of the fuel tank of the locomotive. The rolling stock identification system 11 identifies the locomotive and transmits a recognition signal to the hub 5.

After receiving the recognition signal of the locomotive, the hub 5 compares the data of the locomotive with the corresponding requirement for the release of fuel. Before the fuel is released, the hub 5 automatically checks the locomotive dislocation. After checking the locomotive’s dislocation, the hub 5 asks the gas station operator for confirmation of the fuel dispensing in the quantity indicated in the equipment request. When the operator confirms the release of fuel, the hub 5 transmits to the controller of the dispenser column 3 an enable signal for the release of fuel in the required amount. Fuel dispensing stops in the following cases:

1. released the required amount of fuel (normal completion of refueling);

2. the recognition signal of the refueling object disappeared (the refueling gun is removed from the neck of the tank until refueling is completed);

3. A command has been introduced for the emergency stop of fuel dispensing.

After completion of the fuel dispensing, column 3 transfers data to the concentrator 5 in the following volume:

- mass of fuel supplied;

- volume of fuel supplied;

- density of released fuel;

- temperature of tempered fuel;

- identifier of the reason for the completion of fuel dispensing. Based on the data on the amount of fuel in the tank and the data on the release of fuel through the fuel dispensers, the hub 5 monitors the absence of fuel leaks in the storage tanks and pipelines, and signals the detection of a leak.

The concentrator 5 controls the correspondence of the amount of fuel dispensed according to the fuel dispensing columns 3 and the amount of fuel taken from the reservoirs, according to the data of the fuel quantity measuring device in the reservoir.

All information about discrepancies detected during the acceptance, dispensing, storage of fuel and recorded emergency situations is stored.

Hub 5 can automatically transfer the following data to the corporate system for maintaining the balance of diesel fuel of Russian Railways (KSBDT):

- data on the flow of fuel to the warehouse;

- data on all refueling performed and fuel dispensed for technological needs;

- data on current fuel balances in the warehouse;

- data on discrepancies identified when accounting for fuel;

- data on the recorded emergency situations in the work of self-propelled guns;

- data on the output of controlled industrial safety parameters beyond acceptable values. From KBSDT in the hub 5 received:

- requirements for fuel supply;

- reference book of rolling stock;

- directory of drivers;

- data from transport invoices for the supply of fuel;

- locomotive dislocation;

- standards of available fuel supply.

The hub 5 has a backup power supply that supports its autonomous operation for the time necessary for the correct completion of all ongoing transactions and stop running applications.

The use of video surveillance system 12 provides the ability to monitor the current situation in the warehouse, which allows for timely warning of possible emergency situations and the prevention of unauthorized interference in the technology of the fuel storage.

SAU DT provides automated formation of established reporting.

The proposed utility model solves the problem and can be used both in railway transport and in other areas using a technological process that requires accounting for the receipt and supply of petroleum products.
