An electric heating evaporation box 4 for accommodating a sample to be measured is arranged in the horizontal tube of the sample evaporation chamber 1. The electric heating evaporation box 4 is connected to a power supply 5. One end of the vertical tube of the sample evaporation chamber 1 is provided with a sample inlet, and a sealing cover 6 is equipped on the sample inlet. An installation port for the electric heating evaporation box 4 is opened on the wall of the horizontal tube of the sample evaporation chamber 1. One end of the horizontal tube of the sample evaporation chamber 1 is an air inlet, and the other end is an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to a portable air pump 7 through a transmission tube, and the air outlet is communicated with the side wall of the piston cylinder 2 through a transmission tube; A piston 8 that can move up and down is arranged in the piston cylinder 2. The top of the piston cylinder 2 is communicated with the bottom of the volatile substance enrichment tube 3 through a transmission tube, and one-way valves are arranged on all the transmission tubes;
[0033] A filling module I 1-1 is arranged near the air inlet in the sample evaporation chamber 1, and a filling module II 1-2 is arranged near the air outlet. The electric heating evaporation box 4 is arranged between the filling module I 1-1 and the filling module II 1-2. The filling height of the filling module I 1-1, the height of the electric heating evaporation box 4, and the filling height of the filling module II 1-2 decrease in sequence. A Venturi structure 1-3 is formed among the filling module I 1-1, the electric heating evaporation box 4, and the filling module II 1-2. When the gas in the sample evaporation chamber 1 moves, a negative pressure area 1-4 is formed in the Venturi structure area;
[0034] A waterproof semi-permeable membrane 9 and a metal nanoparticle composite film 10 are sequentially arranged in the volatile substance enrichment tube 3 from bottom to top. An absorbent accommodation cavity 11 is formed between the waterproof semi-permeable membrane 9 and the metal nanoparticle composite film 10. The absorbent accommodation cavity 11 is filled with a volatile substance absorbent or a standard solution of a substance to be analyzed.
[0035] In order to make the detection result more accurate, the metal nanoparticle composite film 10 is an AgNPs@CA composite film. The preparation method of the AgNPs@CA composite film is: using silver nitrate as a raw material, hydrazine as a reducing agent, using an ethanol / water binary solution as a reaction medium, using cellulose acetate as a matrix, and prepared by an in-situ reduction method.
[0036] In order to enable the electric heating evaporation box 4 to heat up quickly, the electric heating evaporation box 4 includes a container for holding the sample to be measured and heating sheets arranged around the container. The heating sheets are provided with annularly arranged electric heating wires and coated with a silica gel layer.
[0037] In order to control the gas flow rate on the gas transmission pipe, a flow control valve 7 is arranged on all the gas transmission pipes.
[0038] In order to facilitate movement, the power supply 5 is a rechargeable power supply; in order to adjust the voltage of the power supply 5, the power supply 5 is provided with a controllable transmission voltage switch.

[0041] Working principle: During operation, first assemble the present invention, put the sample to be tested into the electric heating evaporation box 4 from the sample inlet, and then seal it with the sealing cover 2. According to the sample situation, adjust the voltage of the power supply 5 to heat the sample, and then turn on the portable air pump 7 to provide a constant purge gas flow rate to the sample evaporation chamber 1, and purge the volatile substances to be trapped into the piston cylinder 2. When the piston 8 moves upward, the internal pressure in the piston cylinder 2 increases, so that the volatile gas purged from the sample evaporation chamber 1 quickly passes through the waterproof semi-permeable membrane 9, and then is absorbed and collected by the volatile matter absorption liquid, and the moisture in the volatile matter is blocked by the waterproof semi-permeable membrane 9; aim the handheld Raman spectrometer at the metal nanoparticle composite film 10 for detection; when the piston 8 moves downward, the internal pressure in the piston cylinder 2 decreases, and the gas in the sample evaporation chamber 1 enters the piston cylinder 2. The gas in the sample evaporation chamber 1 moves due to the replenishment of the gas source. When the gas in the sample evaporation chamber 1 moves, due to the characteristics of the Venturi structure 1-3, a negative pressure area 1-4 is generated above the sample to be tested, thereby accelerating the volatilization of the dissolved gas in the sample to be tested and increasing the test speed.
