[0021] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

The detection shell 1 is preferably a straight-cylindrical type. The detection shell 1 has an optical air chamber 5. The shell 8 has an inner cavity 80 and a second vent 83. The second vent 83 is gaseously connected to the inner cavity 80, and the second vent 83 is gaseously connected to the outside of the detection device 7. The circuit board 4, the detection shell 1, the light source module 2 and the detection probe 3 are all located in the inner cavity 80. The light source module 2 is preferably an infrared light source module 2. The light source module 2 is at least partially located in the optical air chamber 5, and the light source module 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4; the detection probe 3 is at least partially located in the optical air chamber 5, and the detection probe 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The detection device 7 has a height direction H, the detection shell 1 and the circuit board 4 are distributed along the height direction H of the detection device, the detection shell 1 has a length direction and a width direction, the detection device 7 has a transverse direction W and a longitudinal direction L, the transverse direction W is parallel to the length direction of the detection shell 1, and the longitudinal direction L is parallel to the width direction of the detection shell 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 The detection shell 1 includes a first reflection surface 11, which is located at the periphery of the optical air chamber 5. In order to improve the measurement accuracy of the detection device 7, the first reflection surface 11 is at least partially attached with a reflection layer 19 to increase the reflectivity of the light in the optical air chamber 5 and reduce the light loss caused by diffuse reflection of the light in the detection shell 1, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the detection device 7.

[0026] In order to further improve the measurement accuracy of the detection device 7, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the detection shell 1 includes a first wall portion 15, which is located at the periphery of the optical air chamber 5.

The waterproof breathable membrane 18 can cover the first vent 13 by pasting, specifically, preferably four first vents 13, and the four first vents 13 are arranged in sequence on the detection shell 1 along the lateral direction W of the detection device 7.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the second shell 82 is provided with a plurality of second positioning portions 821, the circuit board 4 has a plurality of second positioning holes 44, the second positioning portions 821 cooperate with the second positioning holes 44 to fix the circuit board 4, the second shell 82 has a second inner cavity 822, and the circuit board 4 is at least partially located in the second inner cavity 822.

[0037] The principle of the entire detection device 7 is explained as follows. Different gases have different absorption spectra due to differences in their molecular structure, concentration and energy distribution. When detecting the target gas, the absorption of the target gas to the light of the characteristic wavelength conforms to the Lambert-Beer law. Taking the light source module 2 as an infrared light source as an example, when the light source module 2 emits an infrared beam through the optical air chamber 5 to reach the detection probe 3, the target gas will absorb infrared rays of a specific wavelength. In other words, the target gas leaked from the outside will enter the inner cavity 80 through the second vent 83 structure of the outer shell 8, and then enter the optical air chamber 5 through the first vent 13 on the detection shell 1. The target gas entering the optical air chamber 5 will absorb infrared light of a characteristic wavelength. In this way, the detection probe 3 can calculate the concentration and other information of the target gas by detecting the change in light intensity.

[0038] In order to improve the detection accuracy of the detection device 7, in some embodiments, the detection shell 1 needs to ensure a certain length. In order to increase the length of the detection shell 1 in a confined space, in this application, reference is made to Figure 8 As shown, a first straight line X1 and a second straight line X2 are defined on a first plane M perpendicular to the height direction H of the detection device 7. The detection shell 1 has a first projection S1 on the first plane M, and the first straight line X1 extends along the length direction of the first projection S1. The second straight line X2 extends along the width direction or the length direction of the detection device 7, referring to Fig. 9 As shown, the width direction of the detection device 7 can refer to the P2 direction, and the length direction of the detection device 7 can refer to the P1 direction. Fig. 9 The second straight line X2 has the same extension direction as the center line of the width direction of the detection device 7. The first straight line X1 is tilted at an acute angle β relative to the second straight line X2. This is conducive to expanding the installation space of the detection shell 1, and correspondingly, it is also conducive to extending the distance between the light source module 2 and the detection probe 3. In this way, through a longer optical path, the gas can absorb infrared light more fully, which is conducive to improving the detection accuracy of the detection device 7.

[0039] The assembly of the detection device 7 comprises the following steps:

[0040] The base 6 and the detection shell 1 can be assembled by extrusion to form an optical air chamber 5;

[0041] The pin 21 of the light source module 2 cooperates with the first corner hole 42 of the circuit board 4, so that the light source module 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and the light source module 2 is at least partially inserted into the first through hole 61;

[0042] The second pin 33 of the detection probe 3 is soldered to the second corner hole 43 of the circuit board 4, so that the detection probe 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4, the detection probe 3 is at least partially located in the second through hole 62, and the second step 32 of the detection probe 3 is at least partially placed in the first hole groove 63, so that the first protrusion 31 of the second step 32 is located at the notch 64;

[0043] The detection shell 1 together with the light source module 2, the detection probe 3 and the base 6 are integrally mounted on the circuit board 4, and then the entirety is mounted in the outer shell, from the inside to the outside, so that the installation is more convenient.
