Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas detection, and in particular to a sodium flame photometer for use with filters. Background Technology
[0002] In certain specific environments, filter materials need to possess a certain degree of corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct corrosion tests on filter materials used in these environments. This is typically done by passing a test gas containing sodium through the filter material. Consequently, there are strict requirements regarding the sodium content in the test gas, necessitating precise measurement of the sodium content.
[0003] Flame photometers work by burning a specific gas, activating certain elements within the gas. This excites electrons in the atoms, causing inner-shell electrons to ionize and leave vacancies. These vacancies create instability, prompting higher-energy electrons to fill them—a process known as electron transitions. These higher-energy electrons then transition back to lower energy levels, releasing excess energy as photons, creating a specific spectrum. The flame photometer captures these spectra to determine the corresponding values. A sodium flame photometer is a type of flame photometer used to measure a specific spectrum, indicating the sodium content of an element.
[0004] However, current sodium flame photometers can only detect the sodium content in a test gas, and cannot detect other indicators of the test gas, such as its proportion, particle size, and distribution. This lack of comprehensive detection results in inaccurate assessment of the corrosion resistance of the test gas to filter materials. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

By including a sampling head and connecting the sampling head to a mixing chamber, when personnel test the gas introduced into the sodium flame photometer, the sampling head can be connected to the detection instrument to detect the proportion, particle size, and distribution of the test gas in the mixing chamber. This allows for a more comprehensive detection of the test gas and more accurate testing of the corrosion resistance of the test gas to the filter material.

[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0040] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 A sodium flame photometer 100 for use with filters according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sodium flame photometer 100 for filters includes: a housing 1, a combustion assembly 2, a detection assembly 6, a gas mixing assembly 7, and a gas supply assembly 8.
[0042] The housing 1 defines a combustion chamber 10 and a detection chamber 11 that are separated from each other. A light-transmitting hole 12 is provided between the combustion chamber 10 and the detection chamber 11. A control panel 13 is installed on the housing 1. The combustion assembly 2 is located inside the combustion chamber 10.
[0043] The detection component 6 includes a filter 61 and a photomultiplier tube 62. The filter 61 is located in the light-transmitting hole 12, and the photomultiplier tube 62 is located in the detection chamber 11.
[0044] The mixing assembly 7 includes a mixing housing 71 and a sampling head 74. The mixing housing 71 is connected to the housing 1. A mixing chamber 72 is defined inside the mixing housing 71. The mixing chamber 72 is located below the combustion chamber 10 and is connected to the combustion assembly 2 through a connecting pipe 73. The sampling head 74 is located in the mixing housing 71 and is connected to the mixing chamber 72.
[0045] The gas supply assembly 8 is connected to the mixing housing 71 and is adapted to supply sodium-containing gas into the mixing chamber 72.
[0046] For example, the control panel 13 can be electrically connected to both the combustion assembly 2 and the detection assembly 6. Relevant personnel can operate the control panel 13 via touch to turn the combustion assembly 2 on or off, and the detection assembly 6 can transmit the detected results to the control panel 13 for monitoring by relevant personnel.
[0047] Reference Figure 4 By including a filter 61 and a photomultiplier tube 62 in the detection component 6, the filter 61 can filter the light flame of gas combustion, preventing any spectrum other than that containing sodium from entering the photomultiplier tube 62, thus improving the accuracy of the test. Furthermore, by placing the filter 61 in the light-transmitting aperture 12, compared to placing the filter 61 in the detection chamber 11 in related technologies, the distance between the detection component 6 and the light flame can be shortened, reducing spectral dissipation during its entry into the sampling area and improving test accuracy.
[0048] By including a sampling head 74 in the gas mixing assembly 7 and connecting the sampling head 74 to the mixing chamber 72, when personnel are testing the gas introduced into the sodium flame photometer, the sampling head 74 can be connected to the testing instrument. This facilitates the detection of the proportion, particle size, and distribution of the test gas within the mixing chamber 72, resulting in more accurate sampling and simpler operation. Furthermore, during flame detection of the gas, the sampling head 74 can sample and record the test gas within the mixing chamber 72 in real time. Personnel can adjust the gas mixing ratio based on the flame detection results and the detection results from the testing device connected to the sampling head 74 to determine the optimal mixing ratio, which is beneficial for subsequent filter testing.
[0049] For example, personnel can connect the sampling head 74 to a particle counter to detect the particle size of the gas in the mixing chamber 72.
[0050] Reference Figures 1-4 When using a sodium flame photometer 100 for gas detection, sodium-containing gas can be delivered to the mixing chamber 72 via the gas delivery assembly 8. After thorough mixing, the sampling head 74 can be connected to the detection instrument to detect the proportion, particle size, and distribution of the gas in the mixing chamber 72. This effectively controls the proportion of the test gas, allowing for the preparation of different proportions of test gases to suit the corrosion resistance performance of different filters in various environments. After confirming that the test gas meets the requirements, relevant personnel operate the control panel 13 to control the combustion assembly 2 to ignite the gas. The resulting flame passes through the filter light plate 61 and is received by the photomultiplier tube 62. The photomultiplier tube 62 converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control panel 13 for detection and monitoring by relevant personnel.
[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sodium flame photometer 100 for filters includes a detection component 6, which can test the sodium content in the test gas. Furthermore, by including a sampling head 74 and connecting the sampling head 74 to a mixing chamber 72, when personnel test the gas introduced into the sodium flame photometer, the sampling head 74 can be connected to the testing instrument to detect the proportion, particle size, and distribution of the test gas within the mixing chamber 72. This allows for a more comprehensive detection of the test gas and more accurate testing of the corrosion resistance of the test gas to the filter material.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the combustion assembly 2 includes an igniter 21 and an intake chamber 22. The igniter 21 is located above and communicates with the intake chamber 22. The intake chamber 22 is connected to the mixing chamber 72 via a connecting pipe 73. Gas supplied from the gas supply assembly 8 first enters the mixing chamber 72, and then is supplied from the mixing chamber 72 to the intake chamber 22 via the connecting pipe 73. The test gas in the intake chamber 22 enters the igniter 21 and is ignited to produce a flame. By including an igniter 21 and an intake chamber 22 in the combustion assembly 2, the gas can be buffered in the intake chamber 22.
[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the igniter 21 is cylindrical and its central axis extends vertically. A venting groove 211 is provided inside the igniter 21, extending circumferentially and penetrating vertically through it. The lower end of the venting groove 211 is connected to the air inlet chamber 22. By providing the venting groove 211 inside the igniter 21, when gas enters the air inlet chamber 22, the gas can flow from bottom to top through the venting groove 211, eventually reaching the top of the venting groove 211 and being ignited by the igniter 21. This reduces the problem of incomplete combustion caused by gas leakage.
[0054] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sodium flame photometer 100 for filters further includes a combustion chamber shell 3, which is disposed within and connected to the housing 1. The combustion chamber shell 3 defines a combustion chamber 10. The combustion chamber shell 3 includes a mounting plate 31 located below the combustion assembly 2, and the combustion assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 31. The mounting plate 31 has a clearance hole 311 through which a connecting pipe 73 passes. By mounting the combustion assembly 2 on the mounting plate 31, the installation of the combustion assembly 2 can be made more stable. By providing a clearance hole 311 on the mounting plate 31 and allowing the connecting pipe 73 to pass through it, interference between the mounting plate 31 and the connecting pipe 73 can be avoided, allowing the connecting pipe 73 to pass gas from the mixing chamber 72 into the intake chamber 22.
[0055] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, an exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 31. The exhaust pipe 5 extends in the front-to-back direction, with one end connected to the combustion chamber 10 and the other end of the exhaust pipe 5 equipped with an exhaust fan 50. After the gas combustion in the combustion chamber 10 is completed, some gas residue may still remain. This residual gas will affect the accuracy of the next test. By connecting the lower side of the mounting plate 31 to the exhaust pipe 5 and installing an exhaust fan 50 at the other end of the exhaust pipe 5, the exhaust fan 50 can blow air from inside the housing 1 into the exhaust pipe 5. The gas flows into the combustion chamber 10 through the exhaust pipe 5, squeezing out the residual combustion gas in the combustion chamber 10 and reducing the impact of residual gas on the next test.
[0056] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting plate 31 includes a fixed plate 312 and a rotating plate 313. The fixed plate 312 is connected to and fixed relative to the housing 1. The rotating plate 313 is circular and located on the lower side of the fixed plate 312. The rotating plate 313 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 312. The clearance hole 311 includes a first clearance hole 3121 provided on the fixed plate 312 and a second clearance hole 3131 provided on the rotating plate 313. The first clearance hole 3121 and the second clearance hole 3131 are opposite to and communicate with each other.
[0057] The fixed plate 312 has multiple first vent holes 3122, and the rotating plate 313 has multiple second vent holes 3132. The mounting plate 31 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first vent holes 3122 and the second vent holes 3132 are opposite to each other and connected in the vertical direction. In the second state, the first vent holes 3122 and the second vent holes 3132 are completely staggered in the vertical direction.
[0058] When gas is burning in the combustion chamber 10, the mounting plate 31 can be in the second state. At this time, the mounting plate 31 isolates the exhaust pipe 5 from the combustion chamber 10, preventing gas from flowing out of the combustion chamber 10 through the exhaust pipe 5.
[0059] When the combustion of gas in the combustion chamber 10 is completed and it is necessary to discharge the residual gas in the combustion chamber 10, the mounting plate 31 can be placed in the first equipment and the exhaust fan 50 can be turned on. At this time, the exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the combustion chamber 10. The exhaust fan 50 rotates and drives air through the exhaust pipe 5 through the second vent 3132 and the first vent 3122 into the combustion chamber 10, squeezing out the residual combustion gas in the combustion chamber 10 and reducing the impact of residual gas on the next test.
[0060] Reference Figure 7According to some embodiments of the present invention, a motor 32 is provided below the rotating plate 313, and the motor 32 is connected to the rotating plate 313 to drive the rotating plate 313 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 312. By providing a motor 32 below the rotating plate 313 and connecting the motor 32 to drive the rotating plate 313 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 312, the rotating plate 313 can be driven to rotate by the motor 32. For example, the motor 32 can be electrically connected to the control panel 13, and an operator can control the motor 32 by operating the control panel 13, thereby driving the rotating plate 313 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 312.
[0061] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the second clearance hole 3131 along the circumferential direction of the rotating plate 313 is greater than the length of the first clearance hole 3121 along the circumferential direction of the rotating plate 313. By making the length of the second clearance hole 3131 along the circumferential direction of the rotating plate 313 greater than the length of the first clearance hole 3121 along the circumferential direction of the rotating plate 313, interference between the rotating plate 313 and the connecting pipe 73 can be avoided when the rotating plate 313 rotates relative to the fixed plate 312.
[0062] Reference Figures 2-6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the combustion chamber 10 is provided with an exhaust pipe 4 communicating with the combustion chamber 10. The top of the exhaust pipe 4 is open to form an exhaust port 41. Multiple guide plates 42 are provided at the exhaust port 41, and the guide plates 42 are spaced apart in a front-to-back direction. In the upward direction, the guide plates 42 extend backward at an angle. By opening the top of the exhaust pipe 4 to form the exhaust port 41, the combustion products of the gas can be discharged through the exhaust port 41. By providing multiple guide plates 42 at the exhaust port 41, and having the guide plates 42 extend backward at an angle from bottom to top, the guide plates 42 can guide the airflow backward, preventing the combustion gases from affecting personnel in front of the equipment. Combustion of gas in the combustion chamber 10 can cause dust accumulation in the exhaust pipe 4. By providing an exhaust pipe 4 communicating with the combustion chamber 10 at the top, personnel can periodically remove the exhaust pipe 4 from the top of the combustion chamber 10 for cleaning, preventing blockage of the exhaust port 41.
[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 is provided with an observation window 14 for observing the combustion chamber 10. By providing an observation window 14 on the housing 1 for observing the combustion chamber 10, when the gas is burning in the combustion chamber 10, relevant personnel can observe the combustion status of the gas through the observation window 14.
[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6According to some embodiments of the present invention, the gas delivery assembly 8 includes a first gas delivery mechanism 81 and a second gas delivery mechanism 82, which are disposed in the housing 1.
