Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas detection, and in particular to an explosion-proof module for a methane sensor and a handheld gas detection device. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas is dangerous. Once it leaks, if no timely measures are taken, serious consequences such as fire, explosion, and poisoning of personnel are likely to occur. Therefore, it is very necessary to detect gas leakage of natural gas and the like.
[0003] Since the main component of natural gas is methane, a handheld gas detection device with a methane sensor can be used for detecting natural gas leakage.
[0004] However, in current handheld gas detection devices, the methane sensors used are usually based on the electrochemical principle and have disadvantages such as high cost. Methane sensors based on the combustion reaction principle cannot be applied to handheld gas detection devices due to the lack of explosion-proof measures.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a handheld gas detection device based on a methane sensor using the combustion reaction principle. Summary of the Invention

Moreover, the four air outlet channels correspond to the three second sensor modules and the methane sensor explosion-proof module respectively.

[0023] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: The embodiments of the present application provide a methane sensor explosion-proof module and a handheld gas detection device.
[0024] The methane sensor explosion-proof module includes an explosion-proof housing extending along a first direction. A gas detection port is provided at a first end of the explosion-proof housing, and a second end of the explosion-proof housing is closed. An air-permeable and fire-separating member, a methane sensor, and a sensor circuit board are sequentially installed inside the explosion-proof housing from the gas detection port; wherein, the air-permeable and fire-separating member closes the gas detection port, a gas sensing end of the methane sensor faces the air-permeable and fire-separating member, and the sensor circuit board is electrically connected to the methane sensor; and, after installing the above-mentioned air-permeable and fire-separating member, methane sensor, and sensor circuit board, the internal accommodation space of the explosion-proof housing is filled with glue. The air-permeable and fire-separating member includes a microporous structure that can breathe and separate fire, and the methane sensor adopts a combustion reaction principle.
[0025] Thus, it can be understood that: On the one hand, the gas outside the explosion-proof housing can enter through the gas detection port and pass through the microporous structure of the air-permeable and fire-separating member to contact the gas sensing end of the methane sensor, realizing the detection of methane. On the other hand, considering that the methane sensor adopts a combustion reaction principle, the microporous structure of the air-permeable and fire-separating member can isolate the burning flame while breathing, preventing it from spreading to the outside of the explosion-proof housing and realizing the explosion-proof function. On the third hand, the remaining space inside the explosion-proof housing is also filled with glue, which makes the gas passing through the air-permeable and fire-separating member only contact the gas sensing end of the methane sensor, rather than filling the internal accommodation space of the explosion-proof housing, enhancing the explosion-proof function.
[0026] In other words, in view of the technical problem that existing methane sensors using the combustion reaction principle cannot be applied to handheld gas detection devices due to the lack of explosion-proof measures, this embodiment provides a methane sensor explosion-proof module with a better explosion-proof function, thus solving the above technical problem; in this way, by installing the methane sensor explosion-proof module of this embodiment in a handheld gas detection device, a handheld gas detection device based on a methane sensor using the combustion reaction principle can be provided.

Detailed implementation manners
[0040] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein.
[0041] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the flameproof module of the methane sensor. Figure 2 It is a schematic sectional structure diagram of the flameproof module of the methane sensor. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment of the present application, a flameproof module for a methane sensor is provided. The flameproof module for the methane sensor includes a flameproof housing 10, a breathable and fireproof member 20, a methane sensor 30, and a sensor circuit board 40.
[0042] The flameproof housing 10 extends along the first direction X. A gas detection port 11 is provided at the first end of the flameproof housing 10 along the first direction X, and the second end is closed. An accommodation space is formed inside the flameproof housing 10; the breathable and fireproof member 20 is installed in the accommodation space and closes the gas detection port 11; the methane sensor 30 is installed in the accommodation space and is disposed beside the breathable and fireproof member 20, and the gas sensing end 31 of the methane sensor 30 faces the breathable and fireproof member 20; the sensor circuit board 40 is installed in the accommodation space and is disposed beside the methane sensor 30. The sensor circuit board 40 is electrically connected to the methane sensor 30, and the sensor circuit board 40 is electrically connected to a conductive member 41. The conductive member 41 extends out from the second end of the flameproof housing 10 and is used for electrical connection to the main control circuit board 91 of the handheld gas detection device.
[0043] Among them, the methane sensor 30 adopts the combustion reaction principle; the accommodation space is filled with glue 50 after installing the breathable and fireproof member 20, the methane sensor 30, and the sensor circuit board 40; the breathable and fireproof member 20 includes a microporous structure, so that the gas outside the flameproof housing 10 diffuses from the gas detection port 11 and passes through the microporous structure through the breathable and fireproof member 20 to the gas sensing end 31.
[0044] That is, overall, in this embodiment, a flameproof module for a methane sensor with a flameproof function and based on the combustion reaction principle is provided by installing a breathable and fireproof member, a methane sensor, and a sensor circuit board inside the flameproof housing.
[0045] Specifically, the flameproof housing of this embodiment extends along the first direction. The flameproof housing is, for example, in the shape of a cylinder extending along the first direction. An accommodation space extending along the first direction is formed inside the flameproof housing. Moreover, a gas detection port is provided at the first end of the flameproof housing along the first direction, and the second end of the flameproof housing along the first direction is closed; that is, it can be understood that the gas outside the flameproof housing can enter the accommodation space inside the flameproof housing through the gas detection port.
[0046] Among them, a breathable and fireproof member is provided in the accommodation space inside the flameproof housing, and the breathable and fireproof member closes the gas detection port.
[0047] It can be understood that the closed gas detection port mentioned here in this embodiment should be understood as that the gas-permeable fireproof member blocks the gas detection port, and since the gas-permeable fireproof member includes a microporous structure that allows gas to pass through; in this way, the gas outside the explosion-proof housing can enter the interior of the explosion-proof housing from the gas detection port and through this microporous structure; in other words, the meaning of the gas-permeable fireproof member closing the gas detection port here is that the external gas can only pass through the microporous structure of the gas-permeable fireproof member from the gas detection port, and there is no other channel to enter the interior of the explosion-proof housing; for example, the gas-permeable fireproof member can be installed at the gas detection port by means of snap connection or nesting, or, as described in detail below, the gas-permeable fireproof member can directly abut against the abutting flange forming the gas detection port.
[0048] Among them, a methane sensor is also provided in the accommodation space inside the explosion-proof housing, and the methane sensor is arranged beside the above-mentioned gas-permeable fireproof member; the methane sensor in this embodiment is based on the combustion reaction principle, and among them, the gas sensing end of the methane sensor is arranged facing the gas-permeable fireproof member.
[0049] It can be understood that the gas sensing end of the methane sensor using the combustion reaction principle is usually provided with a platinum wire 33. After the external methane gas (that is, the methane gas outside the explosion-proof housing) diffuses from the gas detection port through the gas-permeable fireproof member to the gas sensing end and contacts the platinum wire, it will be catalytically combusted, and then heat is released. In this process, the methane sensor precisely measures this heat change, so as to accurately calculate the concentration of methane.
[0050] Among them, a sensor circuit board is also provided in the accommodation space inside the explosion-proof housing, and the sensor circuit board is arranged beside the above-mentioned methane sensor and is electrically connected to the methane sensor.
[0051] It can be understood that the sensor circuit board is electrically connected to the methane sensor, so that the sensor circuit board can receive the above-mentioned electrical signal about the heat change sensed by the methane sensor. Among them, the electrical signal can be, for example, a voltage signal or a current signal, etc.; then, the sensor circuit board can calculate the concentration of methane based on the change of this electrical signal; furthermore, the sensor circuit board then transmits the data information of the methane concentration to the main control circuit board of the handheld gas detection device.
[0052] Specifically, the sensor circuit board can be electrically connected to a conductive member, and the conductive member extends out from the second end of the explosion-proof housing and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board of the handheld gas detection device.
[0053] It can be seen that inside the explosion-proof housing, in this embodiment, a gas-permeable fireproof member, a methane sensor, and a sensor circuit board are sequentially arranged from the gas detection port, and the structural layout is reasonable.
[0054] Among them, it should be understood that the gas outside the explosion-proof housing can only diffuse into the interior of the explosion-proof housing from the gas detection port and through the microporous structure of the breathable and fireproof component. Moreover, since the gas sensing end of the methane sensor is arranged adjacent to the breathable and fireproof component, the sensitivity of the methane sensor is improved.
[0055] Among them, it should also be understood that while the microporous structure of the breathable and fireproof component allows air to pass through, considering the staggered distribution of the microporous structure, it can also prevent the flame burning at the methane sensor from spreading to the outside of the explosion-proof housing, achieving an explosion-proof effect. And, in this embodiment, after installing the breathable and fireproof component, the methane sensor, and the sensor circuit board in the accommodating space, glue is filled. It can be understood that glue with better fluidity can fill the remaining accommodating space to prevent the gas outside the explosion-proof housing from diffusing into the accommodating space through the breathable and fireproof component, enhancing the explosion-proof function.
[0056] Regarding the explosion-proof housing 10, in a possible implementation, an internal thread 12 is provided on the inner wall of the explosion-proof housing 10, and a radially inwardly extending abutting flange 13 is provided at the end of the first end of the explosion-proof housing 10. The abutting flange 13 extends along the circumferential direction of the explosion-proof housing 10 to form a gas detection port 11. Among them, an abutting boss 14 protrudes from the surface of the abutting flange 13 facing the breathable and fireproof component 20. Along the circumferential direction of the explosion-proof housing 10, the abutting boss 14 is circumferentially closed. The breathable and fireproof component 20 is in the shape of a column extending along the first direction X. An inwardly concave groove 21 is provided on the end face of the breathable and fireproof component 20 facing the abutting flange 13. The depth of the groove 21 is the same as the height of the abutting boss 14, so that the groove 21 abuts against the abutting boss 14.
[0057] That is, on the one hand, an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the explosion-proof housing in this embodiment. Thus, it can be understood that after the explosion-proof housing is filled with glue and the glue cures to form a colloid, the setting of the internal thread can increase the contact area between the inner wall of the explosion-proof housing and the colloid, preventing the cured colloid from falling off. In addition, the setting of the internal thread also increases the explosion-proof path.
[0058] On the other hand, a radially inwardly extending abutting flange is provided at the end of the first end (i.e., the end with the gas detection port) of the explosion-proof housing in this embodiment. The abutting flange extends circumferentially in a ring shape. Thus, it can be understood that the middle area of the abutting flange forms the above-mentioned gas detection port.
[0059] Among them, referring to Figure 2 , the abutting flange is specifically abutted against the end of the breathable and fireproof component. In this way, as mentioned above, the breathable and fireproof component can close the gas detection port in the middle area of the abutting flange.
[0060] Moreover, when filling glue into the flameproof housing, in order to prevent the glue from leaking out, a contact boss protrudes from the surface of the contact flange facing the air-permeable and fire-separating member. The contact boss is arranged in a closed manner along the circumferential direction of the flameproof housing, for example, in a circular ring shape. In the projection area corresponding to the contact boss, the end face of the air-permeable and fire-separating member facing the contact flange is provided with a concave groove, for example, a circular groove. The depth of the groove should be the same as the height of the contact boss. In this way, it can be understood that when the end of the air-permeable and fire-separating member abuts against the contact flange, a stepped structure can be formed through the abutment of the contact boss and the groove, thereby preventing the flowing glue from leaking out from the gap where the air-permeable and fire-separating member is connected to the contact flange.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, a stepped structure 22 is formed on the circumferential side wall of the end of the air-permeable and fire-separating member 20 facing the methane sensor 30 by radially shrinking.
[0062] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , that is, the radius of the circumferential side wall of the end of the air-permeable and fire-separating member facing the methane sensor is smaller than the radius of the circumferential side wall of the main body of the air-permeable and fire-separating member. Thus, an inwardly shrinking stepped structure is formed at the end of the air-permeable and fire-separating member close to the methane sensor. It can be understood that in this way, the inwardly shrinking stepped structure can not only increase the contact area between the air-permeable and fire-separating member and the filled glue, but also increase the overall flameproof path. Here, the flameproof path can be understood as the contact path between the filled glue and the air-permeable and fire-separating member along the direction from the inside to the outside. Furthermore, when the flameproof path, dispensing length, etc. meet the requirements, it can achieve the effect of reducing the thickness (i.e., the dimension along the first direction) of the air-permeable and fire-separating member.
[0063] Regarding the microporous structure, in a possible embodiment, the pore diameter of the microporous structure is between 150 and 220 microns. Among them, the air-permeable and fire-separating member 20 is a sintered metal block formed by sintering stainless steel particles through a powder metallurgy process, or the air-permeable and fire-separating member 20 is a multi-layer metal mesh formed by extruding a plurality of misaligned stacked metal meshes through an extrusion molding process.
[0064] That is, to ensure that the air-permeable and fire-separating member has a better air permeability and fire separation effect, the pore diameter of the microporous structure in this embodiment is between 150 and 220 microns, preferably 170 - 190 microns.
[0065] Among them, the air-permeable and fire-separating member can be a sintered metal block, that is, the air-permeable and fire-separating member is formed by sintering stainless steel particles through a powder metallurgy process; or the air-permeable and fire-separating member can also be an extruded multi-layer metal mesh, that is, the air-permeable and fire-separating member is formed by extruding a plurality of misaligned stacked metal meshes through an extrusion molding process. This embodiment does not limit this, as long as the air-permeable and fire-separating member can achieve a better air permeability and fire separation effect.
[0066] In a possible implementation, the flameproof housing 10 includes a detachable flameproof cylinder 15 and a flameproof cover 16; wherein, a gas detection port 11 is provided at the first end of the flameproof cylinder 15 along the first direction X, the second end of the flameproof cylinder 15 is open, and the flameproof cover 16 is used for fixedly installing at the second end of the flameproof cylinder 15; wherein, an installation ear 17 is provided outside the first end of the flameproof cylinder 15, and the installation ear 17 is used for tightly installing on the main control circuit board 91 of the handheld gas detection device, and the flameproof cover 16 is provided with a glue filling port 18 for filling glue 50 and a notch 19 for the conductive part 41 to extend out; and, the flameproof cover 16 is provided with a contact post 161 for extending into the flameproof cylinder 15, and the contact post 161 is used for contacting with the methane sensor 30, so that after the flameproof cover 16 is fixedly installed at the second end of the flameproof cylinder 15, the contact post 161 and the methane sensor 30, the methane sensor 30 and the air-permeable and fireproof part 20, and the air-permeable and fireproof part 20 and the contact flange 13 forming the gas detection port are in contact respectively.
[0067] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the above-mentioned air-permeable and fireproof part, methane sensor and sensor circuit board, the flameproof housing includes a detachable flameproof cylinder and a flameproof cover.
[0068] Wherein, one end of the flameproof cylinder is provided with a gas detection port through a contact flange, and the other end is open for fixedly installing the flameproof cover through, for example, screws.
[0069] To facilitate the installation of the methane sensor explosion-proof module, in this embodiment, an installation ear can be specifically provided outside the first end of the flameproof cylinder. In this way, the installation ear can be tightly fixed on the main control circuit board of the handheld gas detection device through screws.
[0070] To facilitate the filling of glue and the extension of the conductive part, in this embodiment, a glue filling port and a notch can be specifically provided on the flameproof cover. The glue filling port is used for filling glue after the flameproof cover and the flameproof cylinder are tightly installed, and the notch is used for the conductive part of the sensor circuit board to extend out after the flameproof cover and the flameproof cylinder are tightly installed.
[0071] And, the flameproof cover of this embodiment is further provided with a contact post for extending into the flameproof cylinder. It can be understood that after the flameproof cover is fixedly installed at the second end of the flameproof cylinder, the contact post can extend into the flameproof cylinder and contact with the methane sensor, so that the air-permeable and fireproof part is contacted with the contact flange forming the gas detection port through the methane sensor; that is to say, when the flameproof cover is installed, by the extrusion of the contact post on the flameproof cover, in this embodiment, the methane sensor, the air-permeable and fireproof part and the contact flange at the end of the flameproof cylinder can be extruded together to prevent the methane sensor, the air-permeable and fireproof part, etc. from shaking, and the structure is simple.
[0072] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of insertion posts 42 protrude from the surface of the sensor circuit board 40 facing the explosion-proof cover body 16; wherein, the insertion posts 42 are for the pins 32 of the methane sensor 30 to be inserted from the side of the sensor circuit board 40 facing away from the insertion posts 42, so that the sensor circuit board 40 is electrically connected to the methane sensor 30; and, after the explosion-proof cover body 16 is fixedly installed on the explosion-proof column body 15, the top end of the insertion post 42 is for abutting against the explosion-proof cover body 16.
[0073] Regarding the installation of the sensor circuit board, in this embodiment, a plurality of insertion posts protrude from the surface of the sensor circuit board facing the explosion-proof cover body. It can be understood that the plurality of insertion posts should correspond one by one to the plurality of pins of the methane sensor. Thus, on the one hand, the pins of the methane sensor can be inserted into the insertion posts from the side of the sensor circuit board facing away from the insertion posts, realizing the electrical connection between the methane sensor and the sensor circuit board. On the other hand, the insertion posts are also used to abut against the explosion-proof cover body after being tightly installed, preventing the sensor circuit board from shaking.
[0074] In another specific embodiment, a signal isolation sheet 60 is provided between the methane sensor 30 and the sensor circuit board 40. The signal isolation sheet 60 is provided with a through hole 61 for the pin 32 to pass through; wherein, the signal isolation board 60 includes a transparent plastic sheet; thus, the signal isolation sheet can play a role in signal isolation between the sensor circuit board and the methane sensor, preventing signal interference from affecting the calculation accuracy of methane.
[0075] Figure 3 For the explosion structure schematic diagram of the handheld gas detection device, please refer to Figure 3 In the second embodiment of the present application, a handheld gas detection device is provided. The handheld gas detection device includes a device housing and a main control circuit board 91 installed inside the device housing; wherein, at least a first sensor module 70 is installed on the main control circuit board 91, and the first sensor module 70 is the above-mentioned methane sensor explosion-proof module.
[0076] It can be understood that referring to the above description, since the methane sensor explosion-proof module has an explosion-proof function and can be separately explosion-proof certified, thus, the methane sensor explosion-proof module can be directly applied to different handheld gas detection devices, saving certification costs.
[0077] In a possible implementation manner, the device housing includes a front cover 92 and a rear cover 93 that are butt-joined and installed in the first direction X; wherein, the methane sensor explosion-proof module is tightly installed on the main control circuit board 91 through the mounting ear 17, and the gas detection port 11 of the methane sensor explosion-proof module faces the front cover 92. The front cover 92 is provided with a first gas channel 71 at the projection position corresponding to the gas detection port 11; and, the rear cover 93 is provided with a plug-in groove 931 for the explosion-proof housing 10 of the methane sensor explosion-proof module to be inserted.
[0078] In this embodiment, the gas detection ports of the screen module and the methane sensor flameproof module are arranged on the same side of the main control circuit board, which is convenient for use.
[0079] Among them, the methane sensor flameproof module is specifically fastened to the main control circuit board through the mounting ear at one end of the gas detection port. At this time, considering the stability of the installation of the methane sensor flameproof module, this embodiment also provides a plug-in slot for the flameproof housing to be inserted in the rear cover to increase the installation stability.
[0080] In a possible implementation manner, a screen module 94 is installed on the first surface 911 of the main control circuit board 91 facing the front cover 92, and a screen glass 921 is provided on the front cover 92 at the projection position corresponding to the screen module 94.
[0081] In a possible implementation manner, a battery module 95 is provided between the main control circuit board 91 and the rear cover 93, and the battery module 95 is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 91.
[0082] Considering that the flameproof housing extends in the first direction and has a certain height, this embodiment can use the space between the main control circuit board and the rear cover to set the battery module, that is, a battery module that avoids the methane sensor flameproof module is provided between the main control circuit board and the rear cover, realizing a reasonable layout, thereby reducing the thickness of the handheld gas detection device.
[0083] In addition, a duckbill clip 100 can be installed on the rear cover 93 for convenient use; a typceC board 101 can be provided inside the device housing for convenient charging of the battery module. Combined Figure 5 , a light guide column 99 can be provided on the front cover 92.
[0084] It can be understood that the main control circuit board 91 can simultaneously install a buzzer module 98 and a vibration motor (not shown in the figure). The main control circuit board is electrically connected to the light guide column. In this way, when the handheld gas detection device detects a dangerous gas, it can drive the light guide column, buzzer module and vibration motor to work together to remind of danger.
[0085] In a possible implementation manner, one or more second sensor modules 80 are also installed on the first surface 911. Any one of the second sensor modules 80 is one of a hydrogen sulfide sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, and an oxygen sensor that adopts the electrochemical principle; among them, the sensing end face of the second sensor module 80 faces the front cover 92, and a second gas channel 81 is provided on the front cover 92 at the projection position corresponding to the sensing end face; and, the sensing end face and the gas detection port 11 are at the same height relative to the main control circuit board 91.
[0086] That is, to achieve the detection of multiple gases, one or more second sensor modules can be installed on the main control circuit board in this embodiment. Among them, the second sensor module adopts the electrochemical principle and can be directly installed on the main control circuit board by plugging in with pin pins without the need for explosion-proof settings.
[0087] Specifically, according to actual needs, any one of the second sensor modules can be one of a hydrogen sulfide sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, and an oxygen sensor.
[0088] Moreover, the sensing end face of the second sensor module should be in the same plane as the gas detection port of the explosion-proof module of the methane sensor. Or rather, the sensing end face of the second sensor module should have the same height relative to the main control circuit board as the gas detection port of the explosion-proof module of the methane sensor. In this way, the explosion-proof module of the methane sensor and the second sensor module can be calibrated uniformly to ensure the detection accuracy for different gases.
[0089] In a specific embodiment, three second sensor modules 80 are installed on the first surface 911. The three second sensor modules 80 are a hydrogen sulfide sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, and an oxygen sensor respectively. The three second sensor modules 80 and the explosion-proof module of the methane sensor are arranged in a square. Among them, the device housing includes a calibration mask 96 clamped to the front cover 92. The calibration mask 96 is used to cover the first gas channel 71 and the three second gas channels 81 at the same time. Among them, the calibration mask 96 is provided with an inflation hole 961 at the center position corresponding to the square. The inner surface of the calibration mask 96 facing the front cover 92 is provided with four abutting ribs 962. The abutting ribs 962 are used to abut against the surface of the front cover 92 when the calibration mask 96 is clamped to the front cover 92. The four abutting ribs 962 surround the inflation hole 961 circumferentially and are evenly distributed so as to form an air outlet channel 963 between adjacent abutting ribs 962. Moreover, the four air outlet channels 963 correspond to the three second sensor modules 80 and the explosion-proof module of the methane sensor respectively.
[0090] That is, according to the actual needs of multiple gas detection, the handheld gas detection device in this embodiment can be installed with a hydrogen sulfide sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, an oxygen sensor, and an explosion-proof module of the above methane sensor at the same time. Among them, the four sensor modules (i.e., three second sensor modules and one explosion-proof module of the methane sensor) can be specifically arranged in a square.
[0091] In addition, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7, considering the need for regular calibration of the sensor module in the handheld gas detection device, a calibration mask can also be installed on the front cover of this embodiment. Specifically, the calibration mask can be snap - connected to the front cover, for example, which makes the installation and disassembly more convenient. And when the calibration mask is snap - connected to the front cover, it should cover at least one first gas channel and three second gas channels simultaneously to ensure that all four sensor modules can pick up the calibration gas.
[0092] Specifically, the calibration mask should be provided with an inflation hole at the center position corresponding to the above - mentioned square. The inflation hole is connected to an inflation hose, and the other end of the inflation hose is connected to a calibration gas cylinder. To ensure the accuracy of calibration, it can be understood that the calibration gas should diffuse into each gas channel simultaneously and evenly from the inflation hole. For this purpose, four abutting ribs are provided on the inner surface of the calibration mask facing the front cover. The four abutting ribs surround the inflation hole circumferentially and are evenly distributed. In this way, when the calibration mask is snap - connected to the front cover, the abutting ribs abut against the surface of the front cover. Thus, an air outlet channel can be formed between adjacent abutting ribs, that is, four air outlet channels of the same size are formed, and each air outlet channel corresponds to a sensor module.
[0093] In a possible implementation manner, a potting seal 914 is installed on the second surface 912 of the main control circuit board 91 facing the rear cover 93. The potting seal 914 is circumferentially closed relative to the first direction X. Among them, several fuses 913 are provided in the area surrounded by the potting seal 914 on the second surface 912. And the groove formed by the potting seal 914 is used for filling heat - insulating glue.
[0094] It can be understood that considering the intrinsically safe design of the handheld gas detection device, it is usually necessary to set several fuses on the main control circuit board to limit the current of the circuit of the main control circuit board.
[0095] See Figure 8 , in this embodiment, several fuses of the main control circuit board are specifically surrounded by a potting seal, and then heat - insulating glue can be filled in the groove formed by the potting seal. In this way, there is only one potting seal and one potting operation, reducing costs. Among them, in this embodiment, the thickness of the heat - insulating glue should be more than 3 mm higher than the fuses.
[0096] In addition, combined with the above description, considering the space between the main control circuit board and the rear cover due to the certain height of the flame - proof housing, this embodiment can specifically set the potting seal and the fuses on the second surface of the main control circuit board facing the rear cover, which helps to reduce the thickness of the handheld gas detection device.
[0097] In a possible implementation manner, the device housing includes a front panel 97 detachably installed on the front cover 92, and the front panel 97 is used to be installed on the surface of the front cover 92 facing away from the rear cover 93; wherein, the front cover 92 is provided with operation buttons 922, the front panel 97 is provided with button openings 972 at the projection positions corresponding to the operation buttons 922, and the front panel 97 is provided with screen openings 971 at the projection positions corresponding to the screen glass 921.
[0098] In a possible implementation manner, a buzzer module 98 is installed on the first surface 911, the buzzer module 98 is coated with a waterproof and breathable membrane 981, the front panel 97 is provided with a plurality of first sound outlet through holes 973 at the projection positions corresponding to the buzzer module 98, the front cover 92 is provided with a plurality of second sound outlet through holes 923 at the projection positions corresponding to the buzzer module 98, and, the first sound outlet through holes 973 and the second sound outlet through holes 923 are arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the first direction X.
[0099] That is, on the one hand, considering factors such as the manufacturing cost, operation difficulty, and overall yield of the device housing, in this embodiment, a screen glass, operation buttons, etc. are specifically arranged on the front cover. Among them, the screen glass and the front cover can be sealed with back glue, and the operation buttons and the front cover can be sealed with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), and it is easy to achieve waterproof sealing; at this time, the front panel detachably installed on the front cover only serves as a decorative function, that is, the front panel is provided with screen openings at the projection positions corresponding to the screen glass, and button openings at the projection positions corresponding to the operation buttons.
[0100] On the other hand, at the projection positions corresponding to the buzzer module, in this embodiment, the waterproof treatment of the buzzer module can be realized by the staggered arrangement of the first sound outlet through holes on the front panel and the second sound outlet through holes on the front cover, that is, the first sound outlet through holes 973 and the second sound outlet through holes 923 together form a buzzer sound outlet hole 982.
[0101] Specifically, a buzzer module is installed on the first surface of the main control circuit board. Since the buzzer module itself has no waterproof ability, it is necessary to coat a waterproof and breathable membrane on the surface of the buzzer module to achieve both waterproofing and ensuring the sound output effect at the same time; considering that the impact resistance of the waterproof and breathable membrane itself is relatively poor, especially during the IPX6 level waterproof test, the waterproof and breathable membrane is easily broken by the water flow, resulting in waterproof failure.
[0102] Therefore, at the projection positions corresponding to the buzzer module, in this embodiment, a plurality of first sound outlet through holes are provided on the front panel, a plurality of second sound outlet through holes are provided on the front cover, and the first sound outlet through holes and the second sound outlet through holes are arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the first direction. It can be understood that in this way, the impact force on the waterproof and breathable membrane when the water flow impacts can be reduced or greatly reduced, improving the waterproof ability.
[0103] In a specific embodiment, a connecting rib 924 is formed between adjacent second sound outlet through-holes 923; wherein, the projection area of the connecting rib 924 along the first direction X completely covers the first sound outlet through-hole 973.
[0104] Please refer to Figure 11 , during impact, the water flow will first pass through the external first sound outlet through-hole and then through the internal second sound outlet through-hole; and in this embodiment, the connecting rib between adjacent second sound outlet through-holes completely covers the projection position of the first sound outlet through-hole, or rather, the projection of the first sound outlet through-hole along the first direction is completely located within the connecting rib; at this time, it can be understood that after passing through the first sound outlet through-hole, the water flow will all directly impact the connecting rib between adjacent second sound outlet through-holes, so that the water flow passing through the connecting rib will then pass through the second sound outlet through-hole and impact the waterproof and breathable membrane, greatly reducing the impact force and improving the waterproof ability of the waterproof and breathable membrane.
