[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] First Embodiment
[0035] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a process carbon footprint metering device provided by the present invention; Figure 2for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the flow guiding component; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the bottom of the flow guiding component. Figure 4 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 5 for Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic of the shielding component structure. A process carbon footprint metering device includes: a housing 1, the housing 1 comprising an outer shell 11 and a door 12, the door 12 being rotatably connected to the front of the outer shell 11;
[0036] Metering component 2, which is disposed on the inner side of the housing 11;
[0037] An inlet component 3 is provided on the inner side of the outer shell 11. The inlet component 3 includes a ventilation box 31. An input pipe 32 is fixedly installed on both sides of the ventilation box 31. A fan 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the ventilation box 31. An output cover 34 is fixedly installed at the output end of the fan 33. A first filter screen 35 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the output cover 34.
[0038] A flow guiding component 4 is disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 11. The flow guiding component 4 includes a flow guiding frame 41. Two air inlets 42 are opened on the top of the inner side of the flow guiding frame 41. A dual-head motor 43 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the flow guiding frame 41. A rotating shaft 44 is fixedly installed on each of the two output ends of the dual-head motor 43. A reciprocating screw 45 is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two rotating shafts 44. A rotating rod 46 is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two reciprocating screws 45. A shielding component 47 is threadedly connected to the outer side of each of the two reciprocating screws 45. The two air inlets 42 and the two input pipes 32 are interconnected.
[0039] Two filter components 5 are respectively disposed at both ends of the flow guiding component 4, and are used to filter the gas entering the flow guiding frame 41.
[0040] Two cleaning components 6 are respectively disposed on the sides of the two filter components 5, and are used to clean the impurities adhering to the filter components 5.
[0041] The shielding assembly 47 includes a piston plate 471. A groove 473 is provided inside the bottom of the piston plate 471. A baffle 472 is fixedly installed on the top of the piston plate 471. The top of the baffle 472 abuts against the top of the inner side of the guide frame 41. A limit rod 49 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 473. The limit rod 49 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the guide frame 41.
[0042] The outer side of the piston plate 471 is attached to the inner side of the guide frame 41. When the piston plate 471 moves to one side of the filter assembly 5, it can push the gas on the inner side of the guide frame 41 to the outside, thereby further cleaning the dust on the filter assembly 5.
[0043] By installing a first filter 35 on the inner side of the output cover 34, external impurities can be prevented from entering the inner side of the ventilation box 31 through the output cover 34 and contaminating the detection head during use.
[0044] Both of the outer sides of the two rotating shafts 44 are rotatably connected to support seats 48, and the top of the support seats 48 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the guide frame 41.
[0045] By mounting a support base 48 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 44, the stability of the rotating shaft 44 during use can be increased.
[0046] The filter assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 51, which is fixedly mounted on the end face of the flow guide frame 41, and a second filter screen 52 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 51.
[0047] By setting the second filter 52, the gas entering the inner side of the guide frame 41 can be filtered during use, thereby preventing impurities from entering the interior of the guide frame 41.
[0048] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a rotating plate 61, which is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 46, and a cleaning brush 62 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating plate 61.
[0049] The cleaning brush 62 is attached to one side of the second filter screen 52.
[0050] The working principle of the process carbon footprint metering device provided by this invention is as follows:
[0051] When in use, the housing 1 is installed at the exhaust port, and then the fan 33 is started. The fan 33 draws external gas into the inner side of the ventilation box 31 through the input pipe 32 and the guide frame 41. Then, the carbon emissions are measured by the detection head set inside the ventilation box 31.
[0052] When gas enters the inner side of the ventilation box 31, the second filter 52 can filter dust in the external gas.
[0053] When it is necessary to clean the dust accumulated on the second filter screen 52, the dual-head motor 43 can be started to drive the two reciprocating screws 45 to rotate. At this time, since the grooves on the two reciprocating screws 45 are set in opposite directions, the left-side blocking component 47 can move away from the dual-head motor 43, thereby blocking the left-side air inlet 42. At the same time, the right-side blocking component 47 will move closer to the dual-head motor 43, thereby removing the obstruction to the right-side air inlet 42, allowing air to enter from the filter component 5 on the right side of the guide frame 41. Inside the input pipe 32, the rotation of the dual-head motor 43 synchronously drives the cleaning component 6 to rotate, thereby cleaning the impurities on the filter component 5. Since the left filter component 5 is not ventilated, the dust swept down is prevented from being adsorbed onto the left filter component 5, increasing the cleaning effect. In subsequent use, the dual-head motor 43 continues to rotate, causing the two shielding components 47 to move repeatedly on the inner side of the guide frame 41, and can also continuously clean the dust on the filter component 5.
[0054] Compared with related technologies, the process carbon footprint metering device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] The metering component 2, the inlet component 3, the flow guiding component 4, the filter component 5, and the cleaning component 6 work together to achieve the following: During operation, the dual-head motor 43 drives the reciprocating screw 45 to rotate, which moves the shielding component 47 to control the opening and closing of the air inlet 42. This allows for alternating ventilation of the two filter components 5. While one side is ventilated for carbon footprint metering, the other filter component 5 can be cleaned by the cleaning component 6. This effectively solves the problem of existing carbon footprint metering devices lacking an effective automatic cleaning structure, which leads to dust accumulation on the detection head and reduced detection accuracy. It reduces the cleaning burden on staff, ensures the detection accuracy of the detection head, and thus ensures the accuracy of subsequent metering data.
[0056] Second Embodiment
[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on the process carbon footprint metering device provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another process carbon footprint metering device.

[0058] Specifically, the difference in the process carbon footprint metering device provided in the second embodiment of this application is that, in the process carbon footprint metering device, a mounting plate 7 is provided on the back of the outer shell 11, a snap-fit groove 72 is provided inside the mounting plate 7, a snap-fit plate 71 is snapped into the inner side of the snap-fit groove 72, the snap-fit plate 71 is fixedly installed on the back of the outer shell 11, and a limit component 8 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 7.
[0059] The limiting component 8 includes a support frame 81, which is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 7. A rotating rod 82 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 81. A worm gear 83 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 82. Worm wheels 84 are engaged at the top and bottom of the worm gear 83.

An abutment plate 88 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two extension plates 87.
[0060] The outer sides of the two threaded rods 85 are rotatably connected to limit seats 86, which are fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame 81. One end of the rotating rod 61 is fixedly installed with a handle 89, which is located on the side of the support frame 81.
[0061] The working principle of the process carbon footprint metering device provided by this invention is as follows:
[0062] When installing the device at the discharge port, the operator places the limiting component 8 on the inner side of the discharge port, then rotates the handle 89, causing the handle 89 to drive the worm gear 83 to rotate via the rotating rod 82. This causes the worm gear 83 to drive the two worm wheels 84 to rotate, and then the two worm wheels 84 drive the threaded rod 85 to form a threaded connection inside the extension plate 87. Then, the two extension plates 87 drive the abutment plate 88 to move to both ends, so that the side of the abutment plate 88 abuts against the inner side of the discharge port. Finally, the snap-fit plate 71 is aligned with the snap-fit groove 72 and inserted, thus installing the housing 1.
[0063] Compared with related technologies, the process carbon footprint metering device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0064] The mounting plate 7, the snap-fit plate 71, the snap-fit groove 72, and the limiting component 8 work together to allow the metering device to be disassembled simply by removing the snap-fit plate 71 from the inner side of the snap-fit groove 72 when maintenance is required. This makes it convenient for staff to disassemble and maintain the metering device.

After receiving the electrical signals from the sensor detection module 21, the signal processing module 22 performs a series of processes such as amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion to remove noise and interference from the signals and convert the analog signals into digital signals for subsequent processing.
[0071] The main control and data processing module 23 acquires the processed digital signals, analyzes, calculates, and processes them, and uses preset algorithms and models to convert the collected data into specific carbon footprint measurement results, such as total carbon emissions and carbon emissions per unit product. The communication and interface module 24 is responsible for transmitting and outputting the measurement results obtained by the main control and data processing module 23. It can communicate with external devices through network interfaces, serial ports, etc., and upload data to monitoring systems, cloud platforms, or other terminal devices. It can also receive instructions and parameters sent by external devices to realize human-machine interaction and remote control.
