[0028] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention discloses an automatic film changer, including a chassis 100, wherein a pressing unit 200, a film moving unit 300, an air guiding unit 400 and an electric control unit 500 are arranged in the chassis 100, wherein the pressing unit 200, the film moving unit 300 and the air guiding unit 400 are respectively connected to the electric control unit 500, so that the electric control unit 500 can control and operate each part. In the present invention, the interior of the chassis 100 is divided into a first space and a second space by a partition 110, the pressing unit 200, the film moving unit 300 and the air guiding unit 400 are all installed in the first space, and the electric control unit 500 is installed in the second space, and the interior of the chassis 100 is divided into two independent spaces by the partition 110, which can effectively isolate the electric control unit 500 from affecting the operation of other units, and in addition, the partition 110 can also serve as a fixed platform for the pressing unit 200, the film moving unit 300 and the air guiding unit 400, and play a supporting and fixing role for them.

[0031] In the present invention, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping unit 200 includes a first clamping mechanism 210 and a second clamping mechanism 220, and a power mechanism 230 is provided between the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220. The power mechanism 230 causes relative movement between the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220, thereby opening or closing the clamping unit 200. Furthermore, when the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 are opened, the film-moving unit 300 moves under the control of the electric control unit 500, and when the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 are closed, the film-moving unit 300 stops moving under the control of the electric control unit 500.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping mechanism 210 can be used as an active clamping end, and the second clamping mechanism 220 can be used as a passive clamping end. In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 210 is connected to the power mechanism 230 to obtain the power provided by the power mechanism 230 to produce an up and down movement. Specifically, the first clamping mechanism 210 includes a movable clamp 211 and a pressure rod 212. The pressure rod 212 is connected to the above-mentioned power mechanism 230 so that the power mechanism 230 can drive the pressure rod 212 to produce a back and forth up and down movement, and the movable clamp 211 is installed at the bottom of the pressure rod 212 so that the movable clamp 211 moves with the pressure rod 212. The pressure rod 212 is hinged on the surface of the partition 110. When the pressure rod 212 moves, it rotates along a plane parallel to the surface of the partition 110, that is, the movement plane of the pressure rod 212 is parallel to the surface of the partition 110. In this embodiment, the second clamping mechanism 220 includes a fixed clip 221, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the partition 110. The fixed clip 221 is arranged opposite to the movable clip 211. When the movable clip 211 moves to the lowest position, it can cooperate with the fixed clip 221, so that the filter membrane 600 is clamped and pressed between the movable clip 211 and the fixed clip 221. In addition, in order to increase the clamping force on the filter membrane 600 and the sealing after clamping, a sealing ring 222 is also installed on the surface of the fixed clip 221.

[0033] In the above-mentioned clamping unit 200, the first clamping mechanism 210 is moved by the power mechanism 230, thereby realizing the up-and-down movement to open or clamp the filter membrane 600. In the working state, the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 are in a clamping state, and the filter membrane 600 is filtering the air passing through the filter membrane 600, thereby collecting particulate matter to complete the subsequent analysis work. In the replacement state, the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 are in a separated state, and at this time, the filter membrane 600 is moved forward by the membrane moving unit 300, so that the clean filter membrane 600 located in the subsequent is moved to the working area. After the filter membrane 600 moves to the specified position, the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 perform a clamping action again to position the filter membrane 600 in the working area.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the power mechanism 230 includes an eccentric wheel 231 and a spring 232. The power mechanism 230 is used to drive the pressure rod 212 to produce up and down movement, so that the bottom of the spring 232 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure rod 212, the top of the spring 232 contacts the inner top wall of the chassis 100, and the spring 232 is in a compressed state. In this state, the spring 232 always applies a downward force to the pressure rod 212. When the filter membrane 600 is in a working state, the pressure rod 212 is in the lowest position under the action of the spring 232, so that the first clamping mechanism 210 and the second clamping mechanism 220 can clamp and position the filter membrane 600. When the filter membrane 600 is in a replacement state, the eccentric wheel 231 lifts the pressure rod 212 to overcome the resistance of the spring 232, so that the pressure rod 212 is lifted, thereby releasing the filter membrane 600. In the embodiment of the present invention, the eccentric wheel 231 is disposed below the pressure rod 212 , the rim of the eccentric wheel 231 is in contact with the pressure rod 212 , and the pressure rod 212 generates a rotational motion under the action of the eccentric wheel 231 .

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the membrane moving unit 300 includes a driving wheel 310, a driven wheel 320, a guide wheel 330 and a counting wheel 340. A filter membrane 600 is arranged between the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel 320. Rotating drums are respectively fixed at both ends of the filter membrane 600. The two rotating drums are respectively sleeved in the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel 320, so that the two rotating drums respectively rotate with the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel 320, and the filter membrane 600 is moved during the rotation of the rotating drums. In the embodiment of the present invention, the installation position of the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel 320 is lower than the installation position of the second clamping mechanism 220, so that the guide wheel 330 and the counting wheel 340 can be installed above the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel 320 to control the direction of the filter membrane 600. At the same time, the counting wheel 340 can also record the rotation angle, so as to achieve accurate control of the length of the filter membrane 600.

Among them, the air inlet seat 410 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the chassis 100, the air outlet seat 460 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the chassis 100, the movable clamp support 430 is fixedly installed in the movable clamp 211, the fixed clamp support 440 is fixedly installed in the fixed clamp 221, one end of the air inlet pipe 420 is connected to the sampling main pipe, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable clamp support 430, and the air inlet pipe 420 is connected to the air inlet seat 410 through the air inlet joint 470, one end of the air outlet pipe 450 is connected to the analyzer 700, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed clamp support 440, and the air outlet pipe 450 is connected to the air outlet seat 460 through the air outlet joint 480. When performing gas analysis, the sampling main pipe passes the collected gas into the position of the filter membrane 600 through the air inlet pipe 420. After being filtered by the filter membrane 600, the gas penetrates the filter membrane 600 and then enters the air outlet pipe 450, and enters the analyzer 700 through the air outlet pipe 450, thereby completing the gas analysis. It should be pointed out that air pumps are installed in the air inlet seat 410 and the air outlet seat 460, respectively, so as to provide flow power for the air flow.

[0037] In the present invention, if Figure 5 As shown, the electric control unit 500 includes a control chip 510, a first sensor component 520, a second sensor component 530 and a power supply 540, wherein the power supply 540 is respectively connected to the control chip 510, the first clamping mechanism 210, the membrane running unit 300 and the air guide unit 400 to supply power to each power-consuming part. The first sensor component 520 is adapted to the clamping unit 200 to control the opening and closing state of the clamping unit 200, and the second sensor component 530 is adapted to the membrane running unit 300 to control the running length of the filter membrane 600.

The baffle 522 can record the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 231, thereby facilitating the control chip 510 to control the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 231. The second sensing component 530 includes a second photoelectric switch 531 and a wheel 532. The second photoelectric switch 531 is connected to the control chip 510. The wheel 532 is clamped in the second photoelectric switch 531, and a plurality of counting holes 533 are provided on the wheel 532. The axis of the counting hole 533 coincides with the optical axis of the light beam of the second photoelectric switch 531. The wheel 532 is fixedly installed in the counting wheel 340. The counting holes 533 are distributed along the circumference, and the center of the circumference coincides with the center of the wheel 532. The counting holes 533 cooperate with the second photoelectric switch 531 to record the rotation angle of the wheel 532, and then the travel length of the filter membrane 600 can be controlled.

[0039] It should be noted that the power mechanism 230 and the film-feeding unit 300 are provided with numerically controlled motors, respectively, and the numerically controlled motors are connected to the control chip 510, respectively, so that the control chip 510 can issue action instructions to the numerically controlled motors, respectively.
