Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental detection and sampling equipment, and in particular relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne sampling and enrichment device. Background Art

[0002] VOCs in the atmosphere at accident sites pose a significant threat to human health. Current atmospheric VOC monitoring technology primarily relies on fixed monitoring stations. While this can capture local trends in VOC concentrations in the lower atmosphere, it still has numerous shortcomings. Research on the use of drones for atmospheric environmental monitoring in China began relatively late, primarily in the past decade, with the gradual adoption of portable instruments such as visible light cameras, thermal infrared imagers, and chemical sensors on drones for atmospheric environmental monitoring. Few drone-based sampling and enrichment devices are available for monitoring air pollution in emergency areas, industrial zones, and urban agglomerations. Alexander B. Adams' patent application, "Air Sampling System" (Publication No.: US20190178759A1), switches sampling channels to collect air samples from multiple locations. However, it requires a centrifugal blower with oriented blades for sampling and a graduated mechanism for switching between different sample containers. The structure of the graduated mechanism is not specified, and it cannot enrich samples. Researching and developing a device that can collect atmospheric samples from different target locations at one time and enrich the target components has become an important topic that needs to be studied urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above technical difficulties, the present invention provides a drone-borne sampling-enrichment device, which can collect atmospheric samples from different target locations at one time and achieve enrichment of target components when flying on a drone.

[0006] The loading compartment assembly is mounted on the rotating shaft and can be removed from the rotating shaft. The loading compartment assembly consists of an inner ring driven wheel, an outer ring driven wheel, a sealing ring, a bearing, a spring sheet, an intermediate thumbwheel, and a bearing retaining ring. The inner ring driven wheel is uniformly distributed with m stepped cylindrical holes along the circumferential direction, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The diameter of the stepped cylindrical hole gradually decreases from the inner side close to the intermediate thumbwheel to the outer side along the axial direction of the inner ring driven wheel. The outer circumferential surface close to the small cylindrical hole a is provided with m sections of incomplete gear teeth to achieve m times of intermittent motion. A groove is provided on the large cylindrical hole b for installing the sealing ring. The intermediate thumbwheel and the bearing retaining ring are respectively distributed with cylindrical holes c and cylindrical holes e along the circumferential direction corresponding to the position and quantity of the large cylindrical hole b of the inner ring driven wheel. The large cylindrical hole b, cylindrical hole c and cylindrical hole e forms a new cylindrical hole f for installing the cluster extractor, and the outer cylindrical surface A of the middle thumbwheel is evenly distributed with m rectangular stepped grooves Ⅰ and grooves Ⅱ. Groove Ⅱ is a T-shaped groove, and groove Ⅰ penetrates the cylindrical hole c of the middle thumbwheel. The inner ring driven wheel, the middle thumbwheel, and the bearing retaining ring are fixed together to form the inner ring thumbwheel. The two end surfaces of the outer ring driven wheel are respectively provided with m recesses and m protrusions, and the recesses and protrusions have a smooth transition. There are 2m sections of incomplete gear teeth near the outer cylindrical surface B of the end surface to achieve 2m intermittent motions. The inner ring thumbwheel and the outer ring driven wheel can rotate relative to each other through the bearing. The spring sheet is T-shaped, with a protrusion on the side near the narrow end of the T. The wide end of the T is fixed at groove Ⅱ, and the narrow end is in a free state. When the cluster extractor is installed into the cylindrical hole f, the protrusion of the spring sheet presses the cluster extractor tightly.

[0007] The cluster extractor consists of a glass liner and a cluster capillary coated with an adsorbent. The glass liner is a cylindrical tube with a closing end or an annular boss at one end of the outlet. The cluster capillary is inserted into the glass liner.

The sealing gaskets are composed of two sections of cylinders with different diameters. The end face of the cylinder with the smaller diameter is a spherical surface, and the end face of the cylinder with the larger diameter has a blind hole.

During the sampling process, the micro bearing I is in real-time contact with the convex and concave surface of the outer ring driven wheel. One end of the air inlet sealing connecting rod is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the cluster extractor.

[0011] The outlet sealing assembly consists of an outlet sealing connecting rod, an outlet guiding rod, a micro-bearing II, and a gasket II with a through-hole. The micro-bearing II is in real-time contact with the concave-convex surface of the outer-ring driven wheel during the sampling process. One end of the outlet sealing connecting rod communicates with the cluster extractor, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the sampling pump.

[0012] The sampling pump is installed on the outer shell, and the air outlet communicates with the atmosphere.

[0013] The driving wheel is installed on the transmission shaft of the stepping motor and is installed on the outer shell along with the stepping motor. The driving wheel consists of three cylinders with different diameters. The diameter of the middle cylinder surface III is smaller than the cylinder surfaces IV and V at the left and right ends. There is a section of incomplete teeth on the cylinder surface IV, which forms an incomplete gear mechanism with the inner-ring driven wheel. There are two sections of incomplete teeth on the cylinder surface V, which forms an incomplete gear mechanism with the outer-ring driven wheel. The three sections of incomplete teeth are evenly distributed on the circumference.

[0014] Further, the outer diameter of the cluster extractor is d1, the inner diameter is d2, the diameter of the small cylindrical hole a of the inner-ring driven wheel is d3, and d2 ≤ d3 < d1. The diameter of the large cylindrical hole b is d4, the diameter of the cylindrical hole c of the middle shifting wheel is d5, and the diameter of the cylindrical hole e of the bearing retaining ring is d6, and d1 < d4 = d5 = d6 ≤ d1 + 0.1mm.

[0015] Further, the sampling-enrichment device further includes: a shifting handle, a movable shaft, a limit handle, and a limit block. The shifting handle and the movable shaft are installed at the outer shell beside the loading chamber assembly. The shifting handle can control the free expansion and contraction of the movable shaft. The limit handle and the limit block are installed on the outer shell. The limit handle can control the arc movement of the limit block on the outer shell.

[0016] Further, the outer shell is formed by 3D printing and molding, and the material is stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, onyx or nylon; the materials of the inner-ring driven wheel, the outer-ring driven wheel, the middle shifting wheel, and the bearing retaining ring are stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, nylon, PEEK, PVDF or POM; the material of the spring piece is stainless steel or spring steel; the materials of the rotating shaft and the revolving shaft are stainless steel, titanium alloy or aluminum alloy; the materials of the movable shaft and the limit block are stainless steel or titanium alloy; the material of the gasket is nylon, PVDF, POM or PEEK; the material of the driving wheel is stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, nylon or PEEK.

[0020] Step 3: After installing the cluster extractor, rotate the rotating shaft back and turn the limit handle to drive the limit block so that the micro bearing II is in real contact with the convex and concave surface of the outer ring driven wheel;

[0021] Step 4: The stepper motor drives the driving wheel to rotate 1 / 3 of a circle, and one section of the incomplete gear teeth on the cylindrical surface V of the driving wheel drives the outer ring driven wheel to rotate 180 / m degrees. The micro bearing I in the air inlet sealing assembly and the micro bearing II in the air outlet sealing assembly are located in the recess of the outer ring driven wheel.
