[0046] In this embodiment, no matter it is standard gas, sample gas or other gas to be collected, it needs to be extracted by the first vacuum pump 11 and enter the reaction chamber through the electronic flow meter 12.
[0047] The use of the electronic flow meter 12 ensures the precise control of the gas flow, which is essential for the accuracy and repeatability of the chemical reaction in the reaction unit. By accurately measuring and adjusting the gas flow, the gas can be evenly distributed in the reaction chamber, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the detection. In addition, the real-time monitoring function of the electronic flow meter 12 can also help users to promptly detect and adjust any abnormal flow in the system, ensuring the stable operation of the entire electronic nose system. In some advanced applications, the electronic flow meter 12 can also be integrated with the control system to achieve automatic flow regulation, further improving the intelligence level of the system.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the reaction unit includes a first, second, two-way valve 13, a second, second, two-way valve 14, a third, two-way valve 15 and a fourth, two-way valve 16; the inlet of the first, second, two-way valve 13 is connected to the electronic flowmeter 12, and the outlet of the first, second, two-way valve 13 is connected to the inlets of the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10; the inlet of the second, second, two-way valve 14 is connected to the outlet of the first reaction chamber 8, and the outlet of the second, second, two-way valve 14 is connected to the exhaust unit; the inlet of the third, second, two-way valve 15 is connected to the outlet of the second reaction chamber 9, and the outlet of the third, second, two-way valve 15 is connected to the exhaust unit; the inlet of the fourth, second, two-way valve 16 is connected to the outlet of the third reaction chamber 10, and the outlet of the fourth, second, two-way valve 16 is connected to the exhaust unit.

The second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15 and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are branch control valves, which are arranged on the branch pipeline of each reaction chamber and are used to control the gas flow of each branch pipeline.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the exhaust unit also includes a second vacuum pump 17 and a manual flow meter 18; the inlet of the second vacuum pump 17 is connected to the outlet of the reaction unit, the outlet of the second vacuum pump 17 is connected to the manual flow meter 18, and the outlet of the manual flow meter 18 is connected to the C port of the fourth two-position three-way valve 7.

On the contrary, when these electromagnetic valves are energized, that is, when they receive current, the BC port will be turned on, and the gas will flow through the BC port. This design enables the system to switch the flow direction of the fluid by controlling the on and off of the current, thereby achieving precise control of the fluid path.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the first reaction chamber 8 is provided with: an oxygen sensor for detecting the oxygen concentration in the first reaction chamber 8; and a carbon dioxide sensor for detecting the carbon dioxide concentration in the first reaction chamber 8.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of PID sensors are disposed in the third reaction chamber 10 , and the PID sensors are used to detect ethanol, amines, hydrogen sulfide, aldehydes, lipids and ketone compounds.
[0058] In this embodiment, the setting of the sensor in the third reaction chamber 10 can be: PID (photoionization) sensors are usually used for the detection of organic volatile gases such as ethanol, lipids, and alcohols. MQ series semiconductor sensors, such as MQ-2 and MQ-136, are generally used for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), amine compounds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). MQ-136 or MQ-4 sensors are commonly used for the special detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). MQ-135 or MQ-136 sensors can be used for the detection of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other volatile organic compounds. MQ series sensors are also usually used for the supplementary detection of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other volatile organic compounds in the air. Electrochemical sensors are generally used for the detection of organic solvent gases such as aldehydes and ketones. Electrochemical sensors are mainly used for the detection of formaldehyde.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic nose system includes a baseline adjustment mode, a sampling mode, and an enrichment mode;
[0060] The baseline adjustment mode is: adjust the electronic flowmeter 12 to the initial value, connect the baseline adjustment channel 1 to the standard gas, energize the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6, and the first two-position two-way valve 13, and energize the first vacuum pump 11 to extract the standard gas through the electronic flowmeter 12 into the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9, and the third reaction chamber 10; at the same time, the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15, and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are energized, and the second vacuum pump 17 is energized to extract the mixed gas of the standard gas and air in the reaction unit and discharge it through the second exhaust port 20 until the sensor values in the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9, and the third reaction chamber 10 are stable.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the second vacuum pump 17 exhausts the gas in the three reaction chambers, the gas slowly flows out through the second exhaust port 20 at a speed that is first fast and then slow through the manual regulating valve. In this process, the changes in the values collected by the sensors of the three reaction chambers are observed. When the baseline adjustment is stable, the sensor baseline can be calibrated.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the sampling mode is: after the baseline adjustment mode is completed, the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6, the first two-position two-way valve 13 and the first vacuum pump 11 are powered on; the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to extract the standard gas in the reaction unit; the first two-position three-way valve 4, the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6 and the first two-position two-way valve 13 are powered on, the first vacuum pump 11 is powered on to extract the sampling gas into the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10, the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15, the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 and the fourth two-position three-way valve 7 are powered on, the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to extract the mixed gas of the standard gas and the sampling gas in the reaction unit and discharge it through the first exhaust port 19 until the sensor values in the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10 are stable.
[0063] In the present embodiment, when the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to extract the standard gas in the reaction unit, the flow control of the manual flow meter 18 is adjusted to slowly extract the standard gas in the three reaction chambers, reduce the concentration of the standard gas in the air chamber, and reduce the air pressure for the sampled gas to enter the air chamber. After the concentration of the air chamber is reduced (the threshold value needs to be adjusted in actual experiments), the sampling channel 2 begins to take in air, and the sampled gas quickly enters the air chamber and diffuses due to the pressure difference. When the sampled gas basically fills the air chamber, the manual flow meter 18 is adjusted to overflow part of the sampled gas and the original standard gas in the air chamber. At this time, the fourth two-position three-way valve 7 is turned on, and the gas flows out from the first exhaust port 19. After the sampled gas fills the reaction chamber, all solenoid valves and pumps are powered off, and the sensor analyzes and reads stable readings of the gas. If multiple measurements are required, the above sampling process is repeated.
[0064] The enrichment mode is: the first two-position three-way valve 4 and the second two-position three-way valve 5 are powered off, the third two-position three-way valve 6 is powered on, the first vacuum pump 11 and the first two-position two-way valve 13 are powered on, the gas to be enriched enters the reaction chamber through the enrichment channel, the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15, and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are powered on, the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to discharge the mixed gas of the gas to be enriched and other gases in the reaction chamber until the reaction chamber is filled with the gas to be enriched, and the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15, and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are closed.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
