The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute improper limitations on the present invention.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for monitoring gas concentration based on environmental monitoring, comprising:

[0034] S1, obtaining the external temperature of the sensor, and the temperature correspondence between the internal temperature and the external temperature;

[0035] S2. Based on the temperature correspondence, obtaining a reference temperature inside the sensor corresponding to the external temperature of the sensor;

[0036] S3, obtaining the corresponding relationship between the internal temperature of the sensor and the reading;

[0037] S4. Based on the obtained internal reference temperature of the sensor and the corresponding relationship of the readings, a corrected gas concentration monitoring result is obtained.

[0038] In order to ensure the service life of the gas sensor in the tunnel corridor, it is usually necessary to set a waterproof and breathable membrane on the outside of the sensor to isolate the sensor from the external high humidity environment. However, in addition to isolating water vapor, the waterproof and breathable membrane will also isolate the temperature inside and outside the sensor, increasing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the sensor. Taking the carbon monoxide gas sensor as an example, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the carbon monoxide gas sensor will affect the chemical reaction inside the sensor and the performance of the electronic components, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensor. In this regard, this embodiment utilizes the difference between the existing tunnel corridor ambient temperature and the temperature change inside the sensor, and the characteristic curve of the electrochemical gas concentration sensor itself, and through multiple correction strategies, corrects the existing carbon monoxide gas detection results to improve the accuracy of carbon monoxide detection data.

[0039] In step S1, the sensor external temperature refers to the temperature of the environment in which the carbon monoxide sensor set in the tunnel corridor for monitoring the carbon monoxide gas concentration is located, which can be obtained by a temperature sensor set in the tunnel corridor (hereinafter referred to as the first temperature sensor). The first temperature sensor is preferably set together with the carbon monoxide sensor to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0040] The temperature correspondence between the internal temperature and the external temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor is obtained through experiments. The experiment calculates the function change curve of the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor and the ambient temperature in unit time, and then calculates a more accurate sensor working temperature according to the ambient temperature of the underground pipe gallery. First, a temperature sensor is placed in the carbon monoxide sensor, which is called the second temperature sensor. After the carbon monoxide sensor is reassembled, the sensor is placed in the experimental box. The experimental box also has a temperature sensor that can collect the temperature in the box, which is called the third temperature sensor. The ambient temperature in the experimental box (the reading of the third temperature sensor) and the internal temperature of the gas sensor (the reading of the second temperature sensor) are collected every minute. Under normal temperature conditions, using the natural temperature change conditions every day, after collecting for a few days, the data is preliminarily curve fitted. Then the carbon monoxide gas sensor is placed in a high and low temperature experimental box to further verify the accuracy of the fitting curve under low temperature conditions (such as -25°C) and high temperature conditions (such as 60°C), and fine-tune the coefficient of the curve.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fitting curve is fitted by a quadratic equation, and the fitting function is:

[0042] Y=aT 2 +bT+c

[0043] Among them, T represents the ambient temperature, Y represents the fitting value, and a, b, and c are fitting coefficients. In order to further improve the fitting accuracy, considering the differences in fitting curves in different temperature ranges, the ambient temperature is divided into two ranges below 4°C and above 4°C, and the corresponding fitting curves in each range are fitted, that is, the fitting coefficients a, b, and c in each range are different.

[0044] In step S2, based on the fitting curve obtained in S1, that is, the temperature correspondence between the internal temperature and the external temperature, the external temperature measured by the first temperature sensor is substituted to obtain the corresponding internal temperature as the internal reference temperature of the sensor at this time.

[0045] In step S3, considering that there is also a functional relationship between the reading of the carbon monoxide sensor and the temperature of its working environment, the corresponding relationship between the internal temperature of the sensor and the reading is further obtained to correct the reading.

[0046] The corresponding readings of the carbon monoxide sensor at different temperatures under different gas concentrations are obtained, and the corresponding reading relationship between the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor and the reading under different gas concentrations is obtained, so as to be used for subsequent fitting.

[0047] Furthermore, under different gas concentrations, the ambient temperature to which the sensor is exposed and the curve change rules of the carbon monoxide sensor reading are basically the same, and the same function curve can be used to describe the fitting. Through the change relationship between the ambient temperature and the sensor reading under the current gas concentration, the change relationship between the ambient temperature and the sensor reading under any gas concentration can be inferred. According to the functional characteristics of the ambient temperature and the carbon monoxide sensor reading, the sensor readings at various temperatures are uniformly fitted to the measured values ​​at a suitable temperature to achieve the uniformity and accuracy of the compensated data at various temperatures.

[0048] Since carbon monoxide sensors and other gas sensors are calibrated with 200ppm standard gas at 25℃ when they leave the factory, it is assumed that the values ​​measured by the gas sensor at 25℃ are accurate. Therefore, if the gas concentration measured at temperature A is X1, the corresponding gas concentration Y1 at 25℃ can be found on the fitting curve, and the gas concentration Y1 is the final corrected gas concentration value.

[0049] Based on this, the reading correspondence between the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor and the reading can be obtained by conducting experiments on the carbon monoxide sensor without shell protection. In this embodiment, the gas sensor without shell protection is first placed in a high and low temperature test box, and the working temperature of the exposed sensor can be equivalent to the ambient temperature; then, a carbon monoxide standard gas with a concentration of 200ppm is used to measure the values ​​measured by the carbon monoxide sensor at different temperatures. After preliminary data fitting of the temperature and sensor values, the fitting effect of the fitting curve is verified with a carbon monoxide standard gas with a concentration of 100ppm, and the curve coefficient is fine-tuned to obtain the final fitting curve, which is the reading correspondence between the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor and the reading.

[0050] In this embodiment, the reading correspondence between the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor and the reading is calculated using the following formula:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, T1 is the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor at the current moment, T1 ′ is the internal temperature of the carbon monoxide sensor calculated at the last moment, X is the currently measured ambient temperature, d and e are fitting coefficients, and t is the interval between two readings.

[0053] Similarly, in order to further improve the calculation accuracy, the ambient temperature is divided into three intervals: below 0°C, 0-40°C, and above 40°C. The corresponding fitting curve is obtained in each interval by fitting, that is, the fitting coefficients d and e in each interval are different.

[0054] In step S4, based on the internal reference temperature of the sensor obtained in step S2 and the corresponding relationship of the readings obtained in step S3, a correction reading at a standard temperature (25°C) is obtained as a corrected gas concentration monitoring result.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, under standard atmospheric pressure, the temperature range is between -20°C and 50°C, and for carbon monoxide with a standard gas concentration of 200ppm, the readings obtained after correction using the method provided in this embodiment are between 170ppm and 220ppm. It can be seen from the figure that there is a significant improvement compared to the original measurement value, and the accuracy error is within ±3%FS.

[0056] The method provided in this embodiment greatly improves the monitoring accuracy of gases such as carbon monoxide in tunnel corridors, can accurately obtain gas concentrations under different environmental conditions, and the algorithm deployment difficulty is low. For scenarios where monitoring accuracy requirements are not high, sensors of the same type and specifications can be fitted using the same experimental data, which can achieve rapid and large-scale deployment.
