Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Currently, particulate matter sensors are devices that use the principle of light scattering to detect particulate matter in air. Particulate matter sensors are generally exposed to the polluted gas being measured. In particular, particulate matter will generally remain on the surface of the laser tube and receiver of the particulate matter sensor. Excessive particulate matter will lead to a decrease in the detection accuracy of the particulate matter sensor and affect its service life. Especially in the detection of restaurant fumes, aerosols and other particulate matter are more likely to adhere to the surface of the laser tube and receiver, thereby increasing the maintenance cost of the particulate matter sensor and reducing its lifespan.

[0035] Therefore, existing particulate matter sensors suffer from susceptibility to particulate matter contamination, high maintenance costs, and short service life. Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus, and electronic device for processing particulate matter sensors.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a processing method for a particulate matter sensor disclosed in this embodiment will be described in detail first. Specifically, a self-cleaning particulate matter sensor and a concentration calculation method for the self-cleaning particulate matter sensor are provided, which can improve the fault tolerance of the particulate matter sensor after a single failure, extend the service life of the particulate matter sensor, and reduce the later maintenance cost of the particulate matter sensor.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] This invention provides a processing method for a particulate matter sensor, applicable to a particulate matter sensor processing system. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1The diagram shows a processing system for a particulate matter sensor. The system includes a detection pipeline and a zeroing pipeline. The detection pipeline includes a diaphragm air pump, a first high-efficiency filter, a particulate matter sensor, and a detection air valve connected in sequence. The detection air valve is connected to an external smoke exhaust duct. The zeroing pipeline includes a diaphragm air pump, a first high-efficiency filter, a particulate matter sensor, a second high-efficiency filter, and a zeroing air valve connected in sequence. The zeroing air valve is connected to outdoor air.

[0039] Based on the above description, see Figure 2 The flowchart shown illustrates a particulate matter sensor processing method, which includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S202: Switch the optical path of the particulate sensor by using the roller set by the particulate sensor.

[0041] Existing particulate matter sensors suffer from susceptibility to particulate matter contamination, high maintenance costs, and short lifespans. If a particulate matter sensor has only one optical path, contamination of that path will affect its operation. Therefore, this embodiment allows for multiple optical path connections, which are switched via a roller mounted on the particulate matter sensor.

[0042] In this embodiment, a flexible cotton roll, similar to a film roll, can be installed on the surface of the laser tube and receiver of the particulate sensor. The flexible cotton roll is used to clean contaminants from the surfaces of the two transceiver devices. The operation of the roll switches the optical path of the particulate sensor, enabling the two optical paths to work alternately. This improves the fault tolerance of the particulate sensor after a single failure, extends the service life of the particulate sensor, and reduces the later maintenance cost of the particulate sensor.

[0043] Step S204: The detection gas discharged from the exhaust pipe is driven through the detection pipeline by the diaphragm air pump, and the detection operation is performed based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection operation can be performed using a particulate matter sensor. During the detection operation, the detection gas can be propelled along the pipeline sequentially through the detection air valve, the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor, the first high-efficiency filter, and the diaphragm pump via a diaphragm air pump.

[0045] Step S206: Based on the diaphragm air pump, outdoor air is passed through the zeroing pipeline, and the zeroing operation is performed based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a zeroing operation can also be performed using a particulate matter sensor. During the zeroing operation, outdoor air can be sequentially passed through a zeroing valve, a second high-efficiency filter, the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor, the first high-efficiency filter, and the diaphragm pump via a diaphragm pump.

[0047] This invention provides a method for processing particulate matter sensors. The method involves switching the optical path of the particulate matter sensor via a roller mechanism; using a diaphragm pump to pass detection gas from an exhaust duct through a detection pipeline, and performing a detection operation based on the switched optical path of the particulate matter sensor; and using the diaphragm pump to pass outdoor air through a zeroing pipeline, and performing a zeroing operation based on the switched optical path of the particulate matter sensor. This method improves the fault tolerance of the particulate matter sensor after a single failure, extends its service life, and reduces its maintenance costs.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] This embodiment provides another processing method for particulate matter sensors, which is implemented based on the above embodiment, such as... Figure 3 The flowchart illustrates another particulate matter sensor processing method. The particulate matter sensor processing method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S302: Switch the optical path of the particulate sensor by using the roller set by the particulate sensor.

[0051] Step S304: The detection gas discharged from the exhaust pipe is passed through the detection pipeline by the diaphragm air pump, and the detection operation is performed based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor.

[0052] Step S306: Based on the diaphragm air pump, outdoor air is passed through the zeroing pipeline, and the zeroing operation is performed based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor.

[0053] Step S308: After the detection operation or zeroing operation is completed, the particulate matter in the laser tube and receiver is cleaned by the roller set by the particulate matter sensor.

[0054] Specifically, the particulate sensor in this embodiment includes: a through tube, a spool, a laser tube, and a receiver; the spool is disposed on the surface of the laser tube and the receiver, and the laser tube and the receiver form an optical path through the through hole.

[0055] In this embodiment, a roll (which can be a flexible cotton roll) can be set on the surface of the laser tube and receiver of the particulate sensor, similar to a film roll. The flexible cotton roll is used to clean the contaminants on the surface of the two transceivers. The operation of the roll switches the optical path of the particulate sensor, so as to realize the alternating operation of the two optical paths.

[0056] First, taking a particulate matter sensor consisting of two sets of laser tubes and a receiver as an example, please refer to... Figure 4 The diagram shows a particulate matter sensor, which includes: laser tubes 1 (referred to as the first laser tube and the second laser tube, respectively) and receivers 2 (referred to as the first receiver and the second receiver, respectively). Furthermore, the particulate matter sensor also includes: a through tube 3, a reel 4, and a drive shaft 5. In this embodiment, the reel 4 can be a flexible cotton 6 reel, positioned in the optical path between the two sets of laser tubes 1 and receivers 2, and has through holes 7.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the particles in the laser tube and receiver can be cleaned by the following steps: when the particle concentration determined based on the optical path of the first laser tube and the first receiver drifts, the particles in the first laser tube and the first receiver are cleaned by a roller provided on the surface of the first laser tube and the first receiver, and the through holes provided in the second laser tube and the second receiver are exposed; or; when the particle concentration determined based on the optical path of the second laser tube and the second receiver drifts, the particles in the second laser tube and the second receiver are cleaned by a roller provided on the surface of the second laser tube and the second receiver, and the through holes provided in the first laser tube and the first receiver are exposed.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, when the particulate sensor is working, it can acquire the particulate concentration in the optical path of the first laser tube and the first receiver. The second laser tube and the second receiver are covered with flexible cotton. After the value of the particulate concentration in the optical path of the first laser tube and the first receiver drifts (too high or too low), the roller is activated, and the first laser tube and the first receiver are covered by the rolled-out flexible cotton (the flexible cotton simultaneously wipes away surface dirt), exposing the through holes of the second laser tube and the second receiver. Afterwards, the optical path of the second laser tube and the second receiver can be used for detection or zeroing operations to acquire the particulate concentration in the optical path of the second laser tube and the second receiver; this process is repeated, switching back and forth.

[0059] Specifically, the zeroing operation in this embodiment may include: determining the current zeroing value of the target laser tube and the target receiver; wherein the target laser tube and the target receiver are respectively: a first laser tube and a first receiver, or a second laser tube and a second receiver; if the target laser tube and the target receiver are being zeroed for the first time, the current zeroing value is used as the initial zeroing value of the target laser tube and the target receiver; and switching the target laser tube and the target receiver.

[0060] Based on the operating characteristics of the particulate sensor provided in this embodiment, the particle concentration in the testing pathway can be more stably measured, reducing numerical errors caused by sensor contamination. (See also...) Figure 5The diagram shows a zeroing and detection operation of a particulate matter sensor.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, after the particulate sensor is powered on, x = 1 and I = 0 are set, where x represents the x-th group of laser tubes and receivers (i.e., the target laser tube and the target receiver), and I is the number of exchanges between the two groups of laser tubes and receivers.

[0062] Determine if n = 0, where n = 0 indicates the particulate sensor is undergoing its first zeroing, and n = 1 indicates it is not undergoing its first zeroing. Each particulate sensor undergoes its first zeroing at the factory. After the first zeroing, n = 1. After replacing the particulate sensor, n can be set to 0, and the first zeroing can be performed again.

[0063] If n = 0, then determine the current zero-calibration value ρ. 0x As the first zero-calibration value ρ 出x Then start the scroll to wipe the xth group of laser tubes and receivers. At this time, the other group of laser tubes and receivers will be exposed, that is, switch the target laser tube and target receiver.

[0064] Then, the initial zeroing of another set of laser tubes and receivers can be performed. For example... Figure 5 As shown, it can be determined whether x = 2. If it is, x = 1; otherwise, x = 2. The zero-calibration value ρ of the x-th group (i.e., another group of standard laser tubes and laser tubes) can be obtained. 0x Check if n = 0. If n = 0, mark the other set of laser tubes and the current zeroing value ρ of the laser tubes. 0x As the first zero-calibration value ρ 出x And mark n as 1, indicating that the factory zeroing values ​​of the two sets of laser tubes and the laser tubes have been set.

[0065] In addition, the zeroing operation in this embodiment may also include: if the target laser tube and the target receiver are not zeroing for the first time, determining the absolute value of the difference between the current zeroing value and the initial zeroing value of the target laser tube and the target receiver; if the absolute value is greater than a preset drift threshold, cleaning the particulate matter in the target laser tube and the target receiver using a scroll provided on the surface of the target laser tube and the target receiver; switching the target laser tube and the target receiver; if the absolute value is less than or equal to the drift threshold, ending the detection operation.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, if n=1 (i.e. the target laser tube and the target receiver are not zeroed for the first time), the number of exchanges is incremented by 1; it is then determined whether I>L, where L represents the cumulative life cycle of the particulate matter sensor. I>L indicates that the particulate matter sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced with a new particulate matter sensor. If I≤L, it indicates that the particulate matter sensor has not reached its life cycle, and the process returns to the step of determining whether n=0.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, if n=1, we can determine whether |ρ 0x -ρ 出x |>ρ 飘 , where ρ 0x ρ is the current zero-calibration value. 出x For the initial zeroing value, ρ 飘 The set limit for zero-point drift (i.e., drift threshold).

[0068] If the absolute value is greater than the preset drift threshold, the contaminants in the target laser tube and target receiver are cleaned, and the two sets of laser tubes and receivers are swapped. For example: the contaminants in the target laser tube and target receiver are cleaned using a scroll set on the surface of the target laser tube and target receiver; the target laser tube and target receiver are switched. If the absolute value is less than or equal to the drift threshold, the zeroing air valve is closed, the detection air valve is opened, and the detection cycle count m is set to 0.

[0069] Specifically, the detection operation in this embodiment may include: determining the detection values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver; and determining the concentration values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver based on the detection values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver, the initial zeroing value, and the current zeroing value.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the concentration values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver can be determined using the following formula based on the detection values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver, the initial zeroing value, and the current zeroing value: ρ = ρ 测 +(ρ 0x -ρ 出x ); where ρ is the concentration value of the target laser tube and the target receiver, ρ 测 ρ represents the detection values ​​of the target laser tube and the target receiver. 0x ρ is the current zeroing value for the target laser tube and the target receiver. 出x This is the initial zeroing value for the target laser tube and the target receiver.

[0071] For example, the detection value ρ of the target laser tube can be obtained. 测 Calculate the concentration values ​​ρ = ρ_target laser tube and target receiver. 测 +(ρ 0x -ρ 出x Subsequently, this embodiment can determine the number of cycles in the optical path of the laser tube and the receiver; if the number of cycles is greater than a preset number of cycles threshold, a zeroing operation is performed.

[0072] For example, the detection cycle count m can be incremented by 1 to determine if m > a preset cycle count threshold M, where M represents the pre-set limit for the detection cycle. If m ≤ M, the detection value of the target laser tube can be periodically reacquired; if m > M, the zeroing operation can be re-executed.

[0073] The method provided in this embodiment of the invention can avoid the inability to accurately obtain the detection concentration when a single set of laser tubes and receivers fails, and can also extend the service life of the sensor. The application of the scroll can clean the contamination on the surface of the laser tubes and receivers.

[0074] In addition, a single-roll particulate sensor can also be set in this embodiment. For example, the particulate sensor includes a laser tube and a receiver, with the laser tube and receiver arranged vertically.

[0075] See Figure 6 The diagram shows another particulate sensor. This particulate sensor adopts a single-spindle design, perpendicular to the airflow direction of the pipe, which can reduce the structure of the device and facilitate the maintenance of the particulate sensor.

[0076] This invention provides a particulate sensor with a self-cleaning roll structure, which can improve the surface contamination resistance of the particulate sensor components, extend the service life of the particulate sensor, and reduce the later maintenance costs of the particulate sensor.

[0077] This invention provides a processing method for a dual-channel alternating particulate matter sensor, which can improve the fault tolerance capability after a single group of the particulate matter sensor fails, extend the service life of the particulate matter sensor, and reduce the later maintenance cost of the particulate matter sensor.

[0078] Example 3:

[0079] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this invention provides a particulate matter sensor processing device, applied to a particulate matter sensor processing system. The particulate matter sensor processing system includes: a detection pipeline and a zeroing pipeline. The detection pipeline includes: a diaphragm air pump, a first high-efficiency filter element, a particulate matter sensor, and a detection air valve connected in sequence, with the detection air valve connected to an external smoke exhaust pipe. The zeroing pipeline includes: a diaphragm air pump, a first high-efficiency filter element, a particulate matter sensor, a second high-efficiency filter element, and a zeroing air valve connected in sequence, with the zeroing air valve connected to outdoor air.

[0080] Based on the above description, see Figure 7 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a particulate matter sensor processing device, which includes:

[0081] The optical path switching module 71 is used to switch the optical path of the particulate sensor via a reel set by the particulate sensor.

[0082] The detection operation execution module 72 is used to perform detection operations based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor by passing the detection gas discharged from the exhaust pipe through the detection pipeline using the diaphragm air pump.

[0083] Zeroing operation execution module 73 is used to perform zeroing operation based on the optical path of the switched particulate matter sensor, by using a diaphragm air pump to pass outdoor air through the zeroing pipeline.

[0084] This invention provides a processing device for a particulate matter sensor. The device allows switching the optical path of the particulate matter sensor via a roller mechanism. A diaphragm air pump drives the detection gas discharged from the exhaust duct through the detection pipeline, and a detection operation is performed based on the switched optical path of the particulate matter sensor. Additionally, the diaphragm air pump drives outdoor air through a zeroing pipeline, and a zeroing operation is performed based on the switched optical path of the particulate matter sensor. This improves the fault tolerance of the particulate matter sensor after a single failure, extends its service life, and reduces its maintenance costs.

[0085] The particulate sensor described above includes: a through tube, a spool, a laser tube, and a receiver; the spool is disposed on the surface of the laser tube and the receiver, and the laser tube and the receiver form an optical path through the through hole.

[0086] The aforementioned device also includes a particulate matter cleaning module, used to clean particulate matter from the laser tube and receiver using a reel set by the particulate matter sensor after the detection or zeroing operation is completed.

[0087] The aforementioned roll is a flexible cotton roll.

[0088] The aforementioned particulate matter sensor includes: a first laser tube, a second laser tube, a first receiver, and a second receiver; the aforementioned device further includes: a laser tube and a laser tube switching module, used to clean the particulate matter in the first laser tube and the first receiver by means of a scroll provided on the surface of the first laser tube and the first receiver, and to expose the through holes provided in the second laser tube and the second receiver, when the particulate matter concentration determined based on the optical path of the second laser tube and the second receiver drifts; or; to clean the particulate matter in the second laser tube and the second receiver by means of a scroll provided on the surface of the second laser tube and the second receiver, and to expose the through holes provided in the first laser tube and the first receiver, when the particulate matter concentration determined based on the optical path of the second laser tube and the second receiver drifts.

[0089] The particulate matter sensor described above includes a laser tube and a receiver, with the laser tube and receiver arranged vertically.
