Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to a carbon dioxide sensor. Background Technology

[0002] A carbon dioxide sensor is a device used to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is one of the raw materials for photosynthesis in green plants, and 95% of the dry weight of crops comes from photosynthesis. Therefore, controlling the concentration using carbon dioxide sensors becomes an important factor affecting crop yield.

[0003] A search of Chinese patent publication number CN218512304U reveals a carbon dioxide sensor.

[0004] The above technical solution includes a carbon dioxide body and a cleaning mechanism. The carbon dioxide body has a vent. The cleaning mechanism is installed on the carbon dioxide body and corresponds to the vent. The cleaning mechanism includes a pair of guide posts, which are fixedly connected to the carbon dioxide body. A connector is slidably provided between the pair of guide posts, and multiple cleaning heads are installed on the connector. One of the guide posts has a screw threadedly connected to the connector, and a drive motor is connected to the screw. This utility model, through the design of the corresponding mechanism, can promptly remove dust from the vent of the infrared carbon dioxide sensor, preventing dust from clogging the vent. This ensures the accuracy of the infrared carbon dioxide sensor in monitoring carbon dioxide content, facilitating accurate acquisition of carbon dioxide content information by staff and, to a certain extent, guaranteeing the personal safety of staff.

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned scheme, when the airflow is full in environments such as mines, the sensor can receive less air, and the installation of air intake device is easy to block the air intake. Therefore, the technology is not convenient to adjust the height during use, and thus cannot detect environments at different heights.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a carbon dioxide sensor. Utility Model Content

[0025] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3Embodiment 1 describes a sensor assembly 20 fixedly connected to a lifting assembly 10. The sensor assembly 20 includes a housing 21 with a through-hole 24 extending through it. The through-hole 24 allows air to enter a sealed cavity 27. Small holes can be provided at both ends of the through-hole 24 to increase airflow intensity. A piston 29 is slidably connected within the through-hole 24, its movement inducing and exhaling airflow, thus facilitating ventilation within the sealed cavity 27. A first air pipe 25 and a second air pipe 26 are symmetrically connected to one side of the through-hole 24, corresponding to the exhalation and inhalation phases of the piston 29, respectively. Both the first and second air pipes are connected to the sealed cavity 27, allowing external air to enter. A sensor body 28 is housed within the sealed cavity 27, used to detect carbon dioxide in the gas. The piston 29 has a movable groove 34 on one side of the air duct 24. The movable groove 34 facilitates the transmission of power from the connecting rod 31 to the piston 29. A connecting rod 31 that passes through the movable groove 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston 29. A push rod 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 31. The push rod 32 is movably connected to the output end of the push cylinder 33. The push cylinder 33 is fixedly connected inside the housing 21. The push cylinder 33 drives the push rod 32 to move, the push rod 32 drives the connecting rod 31 to move, and the connecting rod 31 drives the piston 29 to move. Sealing heads 30 are provided at both ends of the piston 29. The function of the sealing heads 30 is to keep one end sealed during the process to prevent air leakage. The sealing heads 30 are slidably sealed to the air duct 24. A filter screen 23 covering the air duct 24 is fixedly connected to the housing 21. The filter screen 23 can filter the air and reduce the entry of dust. A display screen 22 is also provided on the housing 21. The display screen 22 displays the detection results and is electrically connected to the sensor body 28.

[0027] In this embodiment, the push cylinder 33 is activated, which drives the push rod 32 to move. The push rod 32 drives the piston 29 to slide in the air duct 24. The piston 29 slides to one side, and its sealed structure can draw external air into the air duct 24. After entering the air duct 24, some of the air will enter the first air pipe 25 and then enter the sealed cavity 27 for detection by the sensor body. While one end of the piston 29 draws in air, the other end will push out the air in the air duct 24, thereby cleaning the filter screen 23 outside the air duct 24. The reciprocating motion of the piston 29 gives the device the effect of active air intake and dust removal, making it highly practical. Example

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Embodiment 2 describes a sensor assembly 20 fixedly connected to a lifting assembly 10. The lifting assembly 10 includes a lead screw 16, one end of which is rotatably connected to a fixed plate 11, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of a motor 13. The motor 13 drives the lead screw 16 to rotate. The motor 13 is fixedly connected to another fixed plate 11. The fixed plate 11 has a threaded hole 17. The function of the fixed plate 11 is to install components and to install this device. A threaded sleeve 12 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 16. The threaded sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the sensor assembly 20. The rotation of the lead screw 16 causes the threaded sleeve 12 to move, and the movement of the threaded sleeve 12 causes the sensor assembly 20 to move. Slide rods 14 are provided on both sides of the lead screw 16. Slide sleeves 15 are slidably connected to the slide rods 14. The slide sleeves 15 are also fixedly connected to the sensor assembly 20. The slide rods 14 move on the slide sleeves 15, thereby limiting the sensor assembly 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, the motor 13 is started, and the motor 13 drives the lead screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 16 drives the lead sleeve 12 to rotate. The lead sleeve 12 is connected to the outer shell. The outer shell is also connected to the sliding sleeve 15 that slides on the slide rod 14. The sliding of the sliding sleeve 15 on the slide rod 14 limits the movement of the lead sleeve 12, thereby allowing the outer shell to move up and down. This allows the sensor assembly 20 to be raised and lowered, and the height of the sensor assembly 20 can be flexibly adjusted to detect the air environment at different heights.
