Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of environmental protection and safe production management technology, specifically to an electronic dust collection cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] Dustfall is the deposition of particulate matter in the atmosphere. It refers to the settling of airborne particulate matter into a dust collection tank containing an aqueous ethylene glycol solution. After evaporation, drying, and weighing, the amount of dustfall is calculated. With the increasing frequency and severity of sandstorms nationwide, research on atmospheric dustfall has intensified. Currently, monitoring of atmospheric dustfall typically requires personnel to travel back and forth to collect samples and bring the dust collection tanks back to the laboratory for testing.

[0003] Current dustfall measurement methods are primarily suitable for precision measurements in laboratory environments, such as weight measurements in environmental monitoring and chemical engineering. However, these methods require dedicated laboratories with constant temperature and humidity, resulting in high energy consumption and costs. Furthermore, different operators using the same sample can produce different data, leading to significant measurement errors. Additionally, if the dust collection point and the laboratory are not located together, sample transportation and storage must be considered, making the method extremely inconvenient.

[0037] To make the creative features, technical means, and objectives of this invention easier to understand, the invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an electronic dust collection chamber, which includes a constant temperature and humidity chamber composed of a measuring chamber 1, a dust collection chamber 2, a refrigeration unit 3, a temperature and humidity sensor 4, and a controller 10. It adopts a local microenvironment approach to monitor the amount of dust collected.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the measuring chamber 1 and the dust collection chamber 2 are separated by a partition 5. The dust collection chamber 2 is located above the measuring chamber 1. The measuring chamber 1 is equipped with a micro-weight sensor 11 fixed to the bottom of the measuring chamber and a lifting mechanism 12 partially disposed in the measuring chamber. The other part of the lifting mechanism 12 is placed inside the dust collection chamber 2. The dust collection chamber 2 is equipped with a heating plate 21, a tray 22 and a dust collection bucket 23. The heating plate 21 is placed on the lifting mechanism 12, the tray 22 is embedded in the heating plate 21, and the dust collection bucket 23 is placed on the heating plate 21. The micro-weight sensor 11 is connected to the tray 22 through a measuring rod 6.

[0040] In this invention, the tray 22 is embedded in the heating plate 21 when not being measured. The heating plate 21 is fixed to the dust collection chamber 2 and is located above the measuring chamber 1. The dust collection bucket 23 is placed on the heating plate 21. When measurement is required, the heating plate 21 is driven by the lifting mechanism 12 and lowered, causing the tray 22 to gradually detach from the heating plate 21. The tray 22 lifts the dust collection bucket 23, so that the entire weight of the dust collection bucket 23 is loaded onto the tray 22, and then transmitted to the micro-weight sensor 11 through the measuring rod 6 for measurement. This not only meets the measurement needs but also saves costs and is flexible and convenient, allowing for direct on-site testing at the collection point.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a support arm 61 is installed on the measuring rod 6. An automatic calibration device is provided at the end of the support arm 61 away from the measuring rod 6. When the device is powered on and when calibration is required, the data of the micro-weight sensor can be calibrated through the server command to meet the measurement accuracy.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the automatic calibration device of the present invention consists of a geared motor 31, a geared motor output shaft 32, an eccentric wheel 33, a guide post 34, a guide groove 35, a top block 36, and a calibration weight 37. The geared motor output shaft 32 and the eccentric wheel 33 are placed inside the geared motor 31. The eccentric wheel 33 is in contact with the bottom end of the top block 36. The top block 36 is provided with a guide post 34 and a guide groove 35. The guide post 34 moves up and down along the guide groove 35. The upper end of the top block 36 supports the inner circle of the calibration weight 37.

[0043] Preferably, the top block 36 has a groove structure 361 for placing calibration weights at its upper end.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the support arm 61 includes two parallel sheet structures 611 and 612, each of which has a groove 613 and 614 for placing calibration weights.

[0045] Furthermore, in the aforementioned electronic dust collection cartridge, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top block 36 passes through the two parallel sheet structures 611 and 612 of the support arm and places the calibration weight 37 between them. The grooves 613 and 614 on the two sheet structures of the support arm extend to the inner circle of the calibration weight and do not contact the calibration weight 37.

[0046] In this invention, when the calibration weight 37 is not calibrated, it is pushed upward by the eccentric wheel 33 on the output shaft 32 of the geared motor by the top block 36. The function of the guide post 34 is to keep the top block 36 moving along the direction of the guide groove 35. Figure 2 Part of the image shows the state when the automatic calibration device is not activated. In this state, the calibration weight 37, the measuring rod 6, and the support arm 61 are not in contact.

[0047] When calibration is required, the present invention controls the rotation of the reduction motor 31 via system commands, thereby driving the rotation of the eccentric wheel 33. The part of the eccentric wheel 33 in contact with the top block 36 will gradually move from the point farthest from the center to the point closest to the center. At the same time, the top block 36, due to the combined effect of its own weight and the weight of the calibration weight 37, will move downwards, and finally the calibration weight will fall completely onto the grooves 613 and 614 on the two plate-like structures of the support arm 61. Because the weight of the calibration weight 37 is a fixed value, the present invention can calibrate the data output by the microweight sensor using the measured data of the calibration weight, such as... Figure 9 The diagram shows the positional relationship of each component after the automatic calibration device is activated.

[0048] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism of the present invention consists of at least one linear servo motor and at least one top head. For example... Figure 10As shown, the lifting mechanism 12 provided in this embodiment of the invention consists of three sets of linear servos and three top heads, specifically, linear servo one 121, linear servo two 122, linear servo three 123, top head one 124, top head two 125, and top head three 126. In practice, linear servos one 121, linear servo two 122, and linear servo three 123 are fixed on the partition plate 5, and top heads one 124, top head two 125, and top head three 126 are respectively fixed on the output shafts of linear servos one 121, linear servo two 122, and linear servo three 123. The heating plate 21 is placed on top heads one 124, top head two 125, and top head three 126.

[0049] Preferably, the heating plate 21 of the present invention is provided with a hole structure, and the top head 124, top head 2 125 and top head 3 126 cooperate with the hole structure.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a collection port 24 is provided above the dust collection bin 23 of the present invention, and a windproof cover 241 is provided over the collection port 24. Placing the dust collection bin under the windproof cover can effectively reduce the impact of natural wind on dust settling inside the dust collection bin.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the acquisition port 24 is equipped with a door mechanism 25, which is driven by an internal door motor 26. Preferably, the door mechanism 25 consists of two sets of door slides 27 arranged opposite each other on the left and right.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the collection port is equipped with a moving door mechanism 25 controlled by a door guide rail 28.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, when measuring a sample, the door mechanism 25 is closed, placing the dust collection bin 23 and the weight sensor 11 in the same environment. The sample is then heated by the heating plate 21 to remove moisture. After the temperature and humidity sensor 4 detects that the sample moisture content meets the measurement standards, it adjusts the temperature and humidity of the enclosed environment until the measurement conditions are met. Then, the microweight sensor measures the data and uploads the test data, along with the environmental data from the test, to a remote server, achieving automatic online monitoring.

[0054] Preferably, in the above-mentioned electronic dust collection bin, the front end of the door mechanism 25 is equipped with a camera 251 to monitor in real time whether foreign objects such as leaves and insects enter the dust collection bin and clean them in a timely manner.

[0055] Furthermore, in the aforementioned electronic dust collection bin, a filter membrane is provided inside the dust collection bin 23. In practice, rainwater can be discharged into the bin through the filter membrane, allowing the dust to remain inside the bin.

[0056] Furthermore, in the aforementioned electronic dust collection bin, the dust collection chamber 2 is equipped with a rain sensor 28 and a drain pipe 29 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the rain sensor 28 is mainly used to monitor whether there is rain or water accumulation in the dust collection chamber, which may cause the drain pipe 29 to be unable to drain the water in time. In this way, the door mechanism 25 is closed in time through the server to prevent the water volume in the dust collection chamber from being too large and affecting the dustfall measurement.

[0057] Furthermore, in the aforementioned electronic dust collection cylinder, the refrigeration unit 3 is a semiconductor-type refrigeration unit 311 or a compression-type refrigeration unit 312. In this embodiment of the invention, the temperature within the electronic dust collection cylinder system can be adjusted through the operation of the refrigeration system.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the refrigeration unit is a compression refrigeration unit 312, the compression refrigeration unit 312 is also connected to an air duct 313.

[0059] Preferably, in the above-mentioned electronic dust collection cylinder, an air humidification device 314 is installed in the air duct 313 to humidify the air humidity when the humidity is low in this invention.

[0060] Similarly, as Figure 2 As shown, when the refrigeration unit is a semiconductor refrigeration unit 311, a humidifier 315 is also provided inside the electronic dust collection cylinder.

[0061] Furthermore, in the aforementioned electronic dust collection tube, a water inlet 316 is provided on the electronic dust collection tube, which is used to add water to the air humidification device 314 or humidifier 315 when needed.

[0062] This invention calculates dustfall data for a given area by measuring the weight change of a dust collection bin. The dust collection bin uses an improved device with a filter membrane structure, allowing rainwater to drain into the bin while retaining dust. The bin is placed under a windproof cover to effectively reduce the impact of natural wind on dustfall. During sample measurement, the door mechanism is closed, placing the dust collection bin and weight sensor in the same environment. The sample is then heated to remove moisture. Once the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the sample moisture content meets the measurement standards, the temperature and humidity of the enclosed environment are adjusted until the measurement conditions are met. Data is then measured, and the test data, along with the environmental data from the test, is uploaded to a remote server.

[0063] In summary, this invention uses a localized microenvironment approach to monitor dustfall, which satisfies both measurement accuracy and cost savings. It is also flexible and convenient, allowing for direct on-site testing at the collection point to achieve automatic online monitoring.

[0064] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
