Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air chambers. Background Art
[0002] During the use of online optical gas analyzers, when the detected gas is viscous, the window is easily contaminated by the detected gas; or when the gas chamber temperature suddenly drops after a sudden power outage, the measured gas in the gas chamber condenses or crystallizes on the window, causing contamination.
[0003] For high-temperature optical instruments, components in the high-temperature area outside the gas chamber work for a long time, which may lead to aging problems. The viscous gas will then evaporate and adhere to the window, causing window contamination.
[0004] When the window is contaminated, the light emitted by the light source cannot be effectively transmitted through the gas chamber to the spectral analysis system, making it impossible for the equipment to correctly analyze the actual content of the measured gas.
[0005] Most optical analysis instruments fix the lenses around or inside the gas chamber, aim the light source at the window at the gas chamber entrance, and the receiving end of the spectral analysis system at the window at the gas chamber exit. In addition, window replacement requires disassembly of many parts, and ordinary maintenance personnel cannot complete on-site window replacement, so the window needs to be returned to the original manufacturer for replacement.

[0016] Example 1
[0017] The solution of the present invention is to design the window piece to be easy to replace. When the measured gas inside the air chamber contaminates the window piece, the window piece can be replaced. The present invention also adds a purge function to the window piece to prevent the equipment from aging and contaminating the window piece, thereby extending the service life of the lens.
[0018] Window: Installed around or inside the gas chamber, it isolates the gas detected in the gas chamber from the external environment while allowing 100% of the light emitted by the light source to pass through the gas chamber cavity.
[0019] Light source: the transmitting end of the optical signal.
[0020] Contamination: Attachments reduce the light transmittance of the window.
[0021] Spectral analysis system: compares the light signals before and after the measured gas is absorbed and calculates the content of the measured gas.
[0022] Crystallization: Gas solidifies due to a decrease in temperature, changing from a gaseous state to a solid state.
[0023] The device provided by the present invention is easy to replace and does not require screw fastening, making on-site replacement convenient. The device of the present invention also has a purge function to avoid pollution caused by aging of the equipment itself.
[0024] The air chamber device provided by the present invention comprises an air chamber, a gland, a slider assembly, a valve block and a base.
[0025] The gland is rotatably connected to the air chamber via two bottom fixing openings and a rotating shaft. Its upper sides are connected by hinges, one end of which is fixed to the upper fixing opening and the other end is fixed to the air chamber. A window carrier is located between the two hinges and has two window fixing openings. The opening of the window fixing opening on the side adjacent to the air chamber is smaller than the window, ensuring that the window is fixed therein. The opening on the other side of the window fixing opening matches the size of the window, allowing the window to be installed and removed. When replacing the window, the window carrier is connected to the air chamber gland by the hinges on both sides.
[0026] The gland and valve block are connected via a slider assembly. One end of the slider assembly is rotatably fixed to the gland's gas inlet and connected to the gas path. A gas path is defined in the center of the slider assembly. The slider assembly is retractable, allowing the gland to press the window carrier against the end face of the air chamber or straighten the window carrier. When the window carrier is straightened, the window can be replaced. When the window is pressed, the slider assembly's internal spring resets the gland and compresses the air chamber.
[0027] The gland includes a gland gas inlet, a gas outlet, a bottom fixing port, an upper fixing port, and a gas pipeline. The gland gas inlet is provided in the middle of the front of the gland, gas outlets are provided on both sides of the gland, and a gas pipeline is provided inside the gland. The gas pipeline outlet is provided in front of the window piece to guide gas to blow toward the window piece and flow out from the gas outlet. The bottom fixing port is provided at the bottom of the gland and is used to be rotatably connected to the air chamber. The upper fixing port is provided at the top of the gland and is used to be connected to the hinge.
[0028] The valve block is provided with a purge gas inlet and an air path and is rotatably fixed to the air path of the slider assembly and air-connected. The purge gas enters the valve block through the purge gas inlet and then enters the air cover through the valve block air path and the air path of the slider assembly.
[0029] The valve block and slider assembly, and the slider assembly and gas cap, are both connected via a rotating shaft and internally provided with gas passages. Purge gas passes through the valve block and into the rotating shaft, which then directs the purge gas into the slider assembly. The gland's gas inlet shares the same gas path as the slider assembly. Two outlets lead from the gland's gas inlet, each aligned with the two windows, and are discharged through exhaust holes on either side of the gland.
[0030] The air chamber and the valve block are both fixed on the base.
[0031] The purge gas enters through the purge gas inlet of the valve block, enters the gland through the internal gas channel of the slider assembly and the gland gas inlet, is blown to the window pieces through the gas pipelines, and is discharged through the gas outlets on both sides.
[0032] A method for replacing a window piece in an air chamber device comprises the following steps: opening a pressure cover, fully extending the pressure cover by two hinge connections, and simultaneously being locked by the telescopic thrust of a slider assembly; removing the window piece with the aid of a vacuum suction cup, with one side of the window piece carrier facing upward with the opening size matching the size of the window piece, then replacing the window piece with a new one by the vacuum suction cup and pushing it upward tightly, closing the pressure cover, and sealing the pressure cover with the air chamber under the thrust of the telescopic slider assembly.
[0033] In the device of the present invention, the window does not require screw fasteners, and an ordinary maintenance worker can complete the replacement of the window without any tools, only with the window. The window replacement structure is integrated with a purge function to avoid window contamination caused by aging of the equipment itself.
