Description

Technical Field

[0002] Combustible gas detectors can detect the concentration of combustible gas in the environment and issue an alarm in time, which is an effective measure to ensure gas safety. The core component of the detector is the gas sensor, and its service life is greatly affected by the on-site use environment. The use environment of combustible gas detectors is mostly complex environments with heavy smoke and high humidity, such as kitchens, which is very likely to cause the sensitivity of the core component gas sensor to decrease, thereby changing the performance of the detector during the life of the combustible gas detector. Due to the harsh use environment of combustible gas detectors, the detectors may not be able to provide timely and accurate alarm effects during their life, which may bring many serious consequences. Therefore, in order to grasp the actual operating status of the combustible gas detectors in use, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections.

[0003] At present, the detection of combustible gas detectors mostly relies on professional testing agencies to conduct laboratory testing or on-site testing. Laboratory testing requires the removal of combustible gas detectors, and the testing cycle is usually 7-14 days. During the inspection period, there will be a lack of on-site safety measures, which may pose potential safety risks. In contrast, on-site testing has the advantages of short testing time and flexible testing locations, and is more suitable for gas companies to carry out daily inspections.

[0054] Preferably, the gas storage unit 1 includes a gas cylinder 11, a pressure gauge 12, a gas cylinder switch 13 and a pressure reducing valve 14. Figure 2As shown.

[0060] Preferably, a first handle 53 is provided at one end of the first transmitter 51 away from the cylinder 30, and a second handle 63 is provided at one end of the second transmitter 61 away from the cylinder 30.

The first designated position is a scale position on the cylinder 30 corresponding to the volume of the gas to be prepared, and the second designated position is a scale position on the cylinder 30 corresponding to the volume of the target gas.

[0061] Preferably, the gas delivery unit 3 is used to deliver the target gas output by the gas mixing unit to the combustible gas detector to be detected, and includes a wind shield 81 and a telescopic rod 82.

One end of the wind shield 81 is connected to the gas outlet 33 through a gas pipeline to receive the target gas, and the other end wraps the probe of the combustible gas detector to be detected; the telescopic rod 82 is sleeved on the outside of the gas pipeline and connected to the wind shield 81, and is retractable and can be adjusted according to different heights of on-site detection. Preferably, a gas supply button is also provided on the telescopic rod 82, and the gas supply button is used to control the opening and closing of the second air pump 72 of the gas storage unit 2.

[0067] The present invention also provides a gas distribution method applicable to the above-mentioned portable combustible gas detector on-site detection device, such as Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0068] Step 1. Adjust the length of the telescopic rod and place the windshield at the position to be tested;

[0069] Step 2: Determine the type of gas to be prepared according to the type of combustible gas detector to be detected, and the microprocessor unit calculates the volume of gas to be prepared and the volume of air to be injected into the cylinder according to the lower explosion limit in the gas list;

[0070] Step 3: The gas mixing unit determines the volume position of the gas to be mixed and the volume position of the target gas through the measuring module, and dilutes and mixes the gas to be mixed with air in the mixing chamber of the cylinder to obtain the target gas;

[0071] Step 4: Input instructions through the input module, and the microprocessor unit controls the second air pump to turn on, and delivers the target gas through the gas delivery unit directly to the inside of the windshield located at the position to be detected.

[0072] Preferably, in the present invention, the position to be detected in step 1 is a position where the wind shield can wrap the probe of the combustible gas detector to be detected.

[0073] Preferably, the step 2 of the present invention is as follows:

[0074] According to the type of combustible gas detector that needs to be detected, the type of gas to be prepared is determined, and the type of gas to be prepared is selected through the input module. After the type of gas to be prepared is selected, the microprocessor unit automatically calls the gas list stored inside the microprocessor unit. The gas list records the type of gas to be prepared, the lower explosion limit of different types of gas to be prepared, and the predefined concentration of the target gas. The concentration n of the target gas can call the predefined concentration of the target gas in the gas list, and the user selects it through the input module; or the concentration n of the target gas can be manually input through the input module. The volume V of the target gas can be manually set according to the on-site detection situation, and the user manually inputs the volume V of the target gas through the input module. The microprocessor unit calculates the volume v of the gas to be prepared 1 and the volume v of the air 2 , and v 1 、v 2 And the n value is displayed on the display module.

[0075] Assume that the volume of the target gas is V, the lower explosion limit of the gas to be prepared contained in the gas cylinder 11 is m, and the concentration of the target gas to be prepared is n.

[0076] Then the volume of gas v required to prepare the target gas with a concentration of n is 1 for:

[0077]

[0078] Required air volume v 2 for:

[0079]

[0080] Preferably, in step 3, the gas mixing unit determines the volume position of the gas to be mixed and the volume position of the target gas through a measuring module, and dilutes and mixes the gas to be mixed with air in the mixing chamber of the cylinder to obtain the target gas. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0081] Step 31, move the first sensor to the first designated position by the first handle, and move the second sensor to the second designated position by the second handle; the first designated position is the scale position on the cylinder 30 corresponding to the volume of the gas to be prepared, and the second designated position is the scale position on the cylinder 30 corresponding to the volume of the target gas.

[0082] Specifically, according to the volume v of the gas to be prepared 1 The first handle 53 is used to adjust the positions of the first handle 53 and the second handle 63 according to the volume V of the target gas. The first transmitter 51 and the first receiver 52 are moved along the slide rail to v 1 The second handle 63 is used to move the second transmitter 61 and the second receiver 62 along the slide rail to the V scale position, that is, the second designated position.

[0083] Step 32, set the first threshold of the gas storage unit, release the gas to be prepared in the gas cylinder, and the microprocessor unit controls the electromagnetic pressure regulating valve to stabilize the gas to be prepared at the first threshold and deliver it to the gas mixing unit until the first sensor senses that the piston has reached the first specified position. The sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor unit, and the microprocessor unit controls the electromagnetic pressure regulating valve to close.

[0084] Step 33, the microprocessor controls the first air pump to open and injects air into the cylinder until the second sensor senses that the piston reaches the second specified position. The sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor controls the first air pump to close. The gas to be prepared and the air are diluted and mixed in the mixing chamber of the cylinder to obtain the target gas.

[0085] In step 32 and step 33 of the present invention, the microprocessor unit monitors the position of the piston 35 through the sensor, controls the injection amount of the gas to be prepared and the injection amount of air in the cylinder 30, and thus achieves perfect preparation of the target gas of the specified dilution concentration.

[0086] Specifically, after the microprocessor unit calculates the volume of the gas to be prepared and the volume of air to be injected into the cylinder, it turns on the gas cylinder switch 13, and the pressurized combustible gas in the gas cylinder 1 flows through the pressure reducing valve 14 and passes through the electromagnetic regulator to form the gas to be prepared with a pressure stabilized at the first threshold. The gas to be prepared enters the mixing chamber in the cylinder 3, and the piston 35 is pushed toward the opening by the pressure of the gas to be prepared. When the piston 35 moves to the position corresponding to v 1When the position corresponding to the scale position is V, that is, the first designated position, the optical path between the first transmitter 51 and the first receiver 52 in the first sensor is blocked, and a first electrical signal is generated and sent to the microprocessor unit. The microprocessor unit receives the first electrical signal and closes the electromagnetic pressure regulating valve 4 and the gas cylinder switch 13. At the same time, the air pump at the gas inlet 31 is turned on to pump the outside air into the mixing chamber. Under the action of the total air pressure of the gas to be prepared and the air, the piston 35 continues to move toward the opening of the cylinder. When the piston 35 moves to the position corresponding to the scale position V, that is, the second designated position, the optical path between the second transmitter 61 and the second receiver 62 in the second sensor is blocked, and a second electrical signal is generated and sent to the microprocessor unit. The microprocessor unit receives the second electrical signal, closes the air pump at the gas inlet 31, and opens the air pump at the gas outlet 33 to pump out the mixed gas in the mixing chamber. The piston 35 returns to the initial position under the action of the air pressure in the moving chamber, and the perfect configuration of the target gas is achieved.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, the gas to be prepared is methane gas, the lower explosion limit of methane gas is 5%, and 500 mL of methane gas with a concentration of 20% LEL is required. Then, the input module selects the type of gas to be prepared as methane, and inputs the target gas volume V to be prepared as 500 mL and the concentration n as 0.2. The microprocessing unit calculates the required methane gas volume v1 as:

[0088]

[0089] The required air volume v2 is:

[0090]

[0091] The display module of the microprocessing unit displays v1: 5ml, v2: 495ml, n: 500ml.

[0092] The first handle 53 is used to move the first transmitter 51 and the second receiver 51 along the slide rail to the corresponding 5ml scale, and the second handle 63 is used to move the second transmitter 61 and the second receiver 62 along the slide rail to the corresponding 500ml scale.

[0093] After the microprocessor calculates the volume of the gas to be prepared and the volume of air to be injected into the cylinder, the gas cylinder switch 13 is turned on, and the pressurized methane gas passes through the pressure reducing valve 14 and the electromagnetic pressure regulating valve 4 and stabilizes in the first threshold range, and is transported to the mixing chamber through the gas pipeline. The piston 35 moves to the 5ml scale in the mixing chamber, that is, the first designated position. The first sensor monitors that the piston 35 reaches the first designated position and transmits a signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor then closes the electromagnetic pressure regulating valve 4 and the gas cylinder switch 13, and turns on the gas. The air pump at the inlet 31 pumps outside air into the mixing chamber. Under the action of the total air pressure of methane gas and air, the piston 35 moves to the 500ml scale, i.e., the second designated position. The second sensor monitors the arrival of the piston 35 at the second designated position and transmits a signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor turns off the air pump at the gas inlet 31 and turns on the air pump at the gas outlet 33 at the same time to pump out the target gas in the mixing chamber and transport it to the inside of the wind shield 81 through a gas pipeline to perform sensitivity detection on the methane detector probe.

[0094] The present invention provides a portable on-site detection device for a combustible gas detector and a detection method thereof. The volume of gas to be mixed and the concentration of the target gas are quantified by the movement of a piston in a gas mixing unit within a cylinder, so that the gas mixing method for on-site detection is further simplified and the gas mixing concentration can be adjusted. The overall size of the invention is small and easy to carry.

However, these embodiments are merely illustrative, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation methods of the present invention are limited to the description of these embodiments. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions and transformations can be made, which should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
