Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel inspection, and in particular to a tunnel air quality detection device with a dustproof and waterproof sealed chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Air quality monitoring in tunnel environments is crucial for ensuring construction safety and operational health. However, existing detection technologies have significant shortcomings in implementation: While traditional fixed sensor arrays can achieve continuous monitoring, their preset points cannot comprehensively capture the concentration gradient changes of longitudinal pollutants (such as PM2.5 and CO) in the tunnel, resulting in insufficient spatial representativeness of the data. For example, in long tunnels, the concentration difference of pollutants between ventilation dead spots and densely trafficked areas can exceed 200%, but fixed equipment cannot dynamically track the pollution diffusion path. In addition, high-dust environments easily cause contamination of optical sensor mirrors. Existing equipment generally lacks a self-cleaning mechanism, requiring daily manual wiping and maintenance, which not only increases maintenance costs but also leads to frequent interruptions in monitoring data. Portable detectors, although mobile sampling is possible, rely on manual hand operation, resulting in data collection blind spots in dangerous areas such as tunnel arches and sidewalls, and cannot achieve simultaneous monitoring of multiple parameters and real-time data visualization. More significantly, the open structure of conventional equipment is prone to condensation failure of circuit boards when humidity is >90% RH, and the temporarily installed dust covers can cause airflow obstruction (measured wind speed reduction of up to 40%), severely limiting detection accuracy. The lack of intuitiveness in air quality testing inside tunnels increases the difficulty of the testing process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a tunnel air quality testing device with a dustproof, waterproof, and sealed chamber to solve the problem of air quality testing inside tunnels. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tunnel air quality detection device with a dustproof and waterproof sealed chamber.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A tunnel air quality detection device with a dustproof and waterproof sealed chamber is provided. The dustproof and waterproof sealed chamber is composed of symmetrically arranged hollow support boxes. The inner wall of the chamber is symmetrically fitted with a fourth rotating shaft. The third rotating shaft and the fourth rotating shaft are driven by a third motor to form a triangular belt transmission structure. A first conveyor belt made of PU material is fitted between the two sets of fourth rotating shafts. The surface is equipped with pulleys to achieve synchronous transmission. A centrifugal fan is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the support box. An independent third motor is set at the top to drive a second rotating shaft and a ceramic scraper. The second rotating shaft and the ventilation ring are rotated and sealed by bearings to form an airflow channel.
[0006] Preferably, the swing arm is a hollow structure, the support plate is a hollow structure, the support plate is connected to the airbag and the swing arm respectively, the swing arm is connected to the ventilation pipe, and a pressure sensor is installed on the ventilation pipe system of the air pump.
[0007] Preferably, the filter screen has a mesh structure and an 80-mesh screen.
[0008] Preferably, the brush plate is equipped with a brush made of fibrous material.
[0009] Preferably, a bearing is installed between the venting ring and the second rotating shaft. The venting ring is a hollow ring that communicates with the duct. The material feeding plate is a hollow structure that communicates with the air outlet of the exhaust fan and with the dust collection pipe. The dust collection pipe is made of transparent glass material and has a mesh structure at its tail end.
[0010] Preferably, both the first and second conveyor belts are made of PU material.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0012] This invention utilizes an air pump to ventilate an airbag and a first motor to control its oscillation. This allows the airbag to oscillate on the tunnel's ceiling. By compressing the airbag and using sensors on the air pump, it's possible to detect depressurization. Depressurization indicates cracks in the ceiling, providing a more direct way to inspect tunnel quality. A third motor drives a brush plate to oscillate, sweeping the tunnel floor and raising dust deposited at the bottom. A fan then accelerates dust dispersion. This device operates within a sealed chamber, allowing for segmented inspection. The dust is adhered to a filter screen by its left-right movement, and a fan then collects the dust into a dust collection pipe. The dust collection pipe provides a direct view of impurities, and a comparison card allows for comparison to determine the tunnel's air quality. This invention, by raising and collecting dust within the tunnel and observing the impurities in the dust collection pipe, provides a direct assessment of the tunnel's air quality.

A support ring 23 is connected to the top of the vertical rod 21. A support shaft 24 is fitted inside the support ring 23. A support wheel 22 is fitted onto the outer surface of the support shaft 24. A second motor 27 is fixedly installed on the top side of the vertical rod 21. A turntable 26 is fixedly fitted onto the motor shaft of the second motor 27.

[0022] The swing arm 7 is a hollow structure, the support plate 6 is a hollow structure, the support plate 6 is connected to the airbag 5 and the swing arm 7 respectively, the swing arm 7 is connected to the ventilation pipe 4, and a pressure sensor is installed on the ventilation pipe system of the air pump 39.

The brush plate 14 can sweep the dust at the bottom of the tunnel, causing the dust to be stirred up. Then, the fan 16 blows the dust, making it fly up. As the filter screen 10 moves left and right, it adsorbs the dust. At the same time, turning on the switch of the third motor 33 will drive the scraper 18 to rotate. When the scraper 18 comes into contact with the filter screen 10, it scrapes the filter screen 10. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan... 31. Ventilation will draw dust into the dust collection pipe 29. A comparison card is placed nearby for direct comparison, allowing operators to visually observe the dust situation inside the tunnel. Due to the presence of the support block 37, the height of the upright 21 can be adjusted so that the airbag 5 can be placed against the top of the tunnel. The airbag 5 is inflated using the air pump 39, and then the swing arm 7 is swung by the first motor 2, causing the airbag 5 to swing along the top of the tunnel. This will compress the airbag 5. When pits or defects appear, part of the airbag 5 will enter the pit or depression, causing depressurization. By observing the pressure sensor, the condition of the tunnel top can be directly observed, making the quality inspection of the tunnel more intuitive.
