Abstract

Because a toxic gas detecting/monitoring system in a chemical plant is not movable, a gas detecting/monitoring system will be passive and the detecting range will also be constrained. This invention is an active multi-functional wireless patrol car that can substitute for humans that inspect a plant's security. In addition, to widen the monitoring vision within the environment, two motors used to rotate a wireless IPCAM with two axes are presented. Also, to control the robot car's movement, two axis motors used to drive the wheel of the robot car are also installed. Additionally, a toxic gas detector is linked to the microcontroller of the patrol car. The detected concentration of the gas will be fed back to the server pc. To enhance the robot car's patrolling duration, a movable electrical power unit in conjunction with a wireless module is also used. Consequently, this paper introduces a wireless path-patrol and toxic gas detecting security robot car that can assure a plant's security and protect workers when toxic gases are emitted.

Highlights

  • Toxic gases are very often released in chemical plants

  • In order to remotely monitor/control the robot car, a wireless USB AP router wirelessly connected to the IPCAM is adopted and connected to the server PC via the Wi-Fi protocol

  • The environmental vision has been captured by the IPCAM and fedback to the interface

Summary

Introduction

Toxic gases are very often released in chemical plants. In order to ensure a worker’s health, detecting toxic gases and fine particles is essential. Traditional gas detecting/monitoring stations in chemical plants have been established [7, 8]. Because of their fixed location, they are passive and their detecting range is constrained. In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a robot car used to patrol and detect toxic gas emissions in a plant is presented. In order to patrol and to detect toxic fumes within plants, a wireless path-patrol and toxic gas detecting security robot car is presented
