When the heating wire 201 of the ignition assembly heats to the ignition temperature, the heating wire 201 can ignite the sample gas containing VOCs, and under the combustion-supporting action of oxygen, a flame is generated at the position of the nozzle 102, the sample gas containing VOCs can continue to burn and generate ions in the collector 105, the collector 105 can collect the ions generated in the flame and generate a micro-current signal, and transmit it to the data processing system, so as to calculate the concentration of air VOCs.

[0029] When the sample gas containing VOCs is ignited and flows through the conductive part, the conductive part can pull the insulating ring 202 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the insulating ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position, and when the insulating ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position, the one-way transmission mechanism can drive the insulating ring 202 to rotate around its own axis by a set angle, so that the conductive part can be in conductive connection with the next adjacent heating wire 201, so that when the sample gas containing VOCs is ignited again, it is realized by the power supply of the next heating wire 201, avoiding the damage caused by the repeated use of a single heating wire 201, and prolonging the service life of the continuous monitoring device for air VOCs concentration.

[0030] Further, the insulating ring 202 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of conductive parts 203 in the circumferential direction, the heating wire 201 is located between two adjacent conductive parts 203, and the two ends of the heating wire 201 are respectively in conductive connection with two conductive parts 203, the second end of the conductive part is provided with two conductive sheets 301, the two conductive sheets 301 are inverted U-shaped and are arranged on the insulating ring 202, the interval between two adjacent conductive sheets 301 is equal to the interval between two adjacent conductive parts 203, and the two conductive sheets 301 can be in conductive contact with two adjacent conductive parts 203 at the same time, so as to realize the power supply of the heating wire 201.

[0031] In this way, the conductive connection stability of the conductive sheet 301 and the conductive part 203 can be ensured, and the heating effect of the heating wire 201 can be ensured.

[0032] Further, the conductive part further comprises an insulating plate 302, the insulating plate 302 extends in the vertical direction, and the two conductive sheets 301 are fixedly arranged on the same side surface of the insulating plate 302, the insulating plate 302 is provided with a guide plate 3022, the guide plate 3022 is arranged in an inclined manner with respect to the up-down direction, and after the sample gas containing VOCs is ignited, the guide plate 3022 can be pushed to move in the horizontal direction, and then the insulating ring 202 is pulled to move in the horizontal direction through the conductive sheet 301.

[0033] In this way, the thrust generated by the combustion of the sample gas containing VOCs can be utilized to automatically realize the movement of the insulating ring 202 pulled by the conductive part, without manual operation.

[0034] The pressing seat 108 is provided with a avoiding opening for avoiding the insulating plate 302, and the insulating plate 302 can block the dust from entering the inside of the collecting electrode 105.

[0035] Further, the upper end of the detector body is detachably connected with an end cover 109, the end cover 109 is provided with two guide holes, the first end of the conductive part is provided with two conductive rods 303, the two conductive rods 303 are fixedly arranged on the side surface of the insulating plate 302 away from the conductive sheet 301, the conductive rod 303 is in one-to-one correspondence with the guide hole and is in sliding connection, the first reset spring 304 is sleeved on the conductive rod 303, and the first reset spring 304 is located between the inner wall of the end cover 109 and the insulating plate 302, and the first reset spring 304 has a tendency to make the insulating ring 202 in the first limit position.

[0036] Specifically, the end cover 109 is threadedly connected above the pressing seat 108. The conductive rod 303 and the guide hole can guide the conductive part 303 to move in the horizontal direction. The first reset spring 304 is arranged to facilitate the reset of the insulating ring 202.

[0037] Further, the one-way transmission mechanism comprises a rack 110 extending in the horizontal direction and a gear 204 coaxially arranged on the insulation ring 202, the rack 110 is arranged on the inner wall of the end cover 109 through a second reset spring 1101, the second reset spring 1101 has a tendency to make the rack 110 close to the gear 204; when the insulation ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position, the gear 204 can mesh with the rack 110, so that the insulation ring 202 can rotate around its own axis; when the insulation ring 202 moves from the second limit position to the first limit position, the gear 204 and the rack 110 can be slidingly fitted in the horizontal direction, so that the insulation ring 202 can slide in the horizontal direction relative to the rack 110.

[0038] As shown in Figure 7 The gear 204 is provided with a plurality of first teeth in the circumferential direction, one side of the first teeth is designed as a first inclined surface, and the other side is designed as a curved surface. The rack 110 is provided with second teeth, one side of the second teeth is designed as a second inclined surface, and the other side is designed as a curved surface. When the insulation ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position, the gear 204 and the rack 110 are normally meshed through the curved surface. When the insulation ring 202 moves from the second limit position to the first limit position, the first inclined surface of the gear 204 and the second inclined surface of the rack 110 are slidingly fitted, so that the insulation ring 202 can slide in the horizontal direction relative to the rack 110.

[0039] This design can ensure that the plurality of heating wires 201 are used in turn, and prolong the service life of the heating wire 201.

[0040] Further, the cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning ring 401 coaxially arranged with the collecting electrode 105 and supported on the upper end surface of the collecting electrode 105, the bottom of the cleaning ring 401 is provided with a plurality of support rods 402 uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction thereof, the support rods 402 extend in the up-down direction and are located in the collecting electrode 105, and the outer circumferential surface of the support rod 402 is provided with a scraping ring 403 coaxial with the collecting electrode 105 and abutting against the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105, when the cleaning ring 401 slides in the up-down direction, the scraping ring 403 can clean the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105.

[0041] By arranging the cleaning assembly, the pollutants adhered to the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105 can be scraped off and carried away by the airflow, so that the pollutants do not affect the monitoring of the collecting electrode 105, and the monitoring accuracy of the continuous monitoring device of the air VOCs concentration is improved.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the insulating plate 302 is provided with a horizontally extending baffle plate 3021. When the insulating ring 202 is in the first extreme position, the baffle plate 3021 and the cleaning ring 401 are in a blocking engagement in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the cleaning ring 401 from moving upward. When the insulating ring 202 moves to the second extreme position, the cleaning ring 401 can move upward. This can prevent the cleaning ring 401 from cleaning the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105 prematurely.

[0043] Furthermore, the detector body is also provided with a receiving groove located on one side of the collecting electrode 105; a telescopic bladder 404 is provided in the receiving groove, the lower end of the telescopic bladder 404 is connected to the bottom of the receiving groove, and the upper end of the telescopic bladder 404 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning ring 401. The telescopic bladder 404 can extend and retract in the vertical direction, thereby driving the cleaning ring 401 to move in the vertical direction. Specifically, the receiving groove is set on the clamping seat 108. The cleaning ring 401 is moved up and down by the telescopic bladder 404, which has a simple structure.

[0044] Furthermore, the interior of the telescopic bladder 404 is filled with a low-boiling-point liquid, which is capable of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby causing the telescopic bladder 404 to expand and contract. The low-boiling-point liquid is ethanol or acetone, etc.

[0045] In this way, after the temperature of the detector body rises due to the combustion of sample gas containing VOCs, the low-boiling-point liquid will expand, thereby automatically causing the expansion and contraction of the telescopic bladder 404. After the temperature of the detector body decreases, the low-boiling-point liquid will contract, thereby automatically causing the expansion and contraction of the telescopic bladder 404, thus automatically cleaning the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105 without manual operation.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, the usage principle and working process of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: In the initial state, such as Figure 5 As shown, the insulating ring 202 is in the first extreme position. A carrier gas and a sample gas containing VOCs are introduced into the gas chromatography column 104, allowing the VOCs-containing sample gas to be delivered into the nozzle 102. Hydrogen gas flows through the hydrogen inlet 1011, passes through the bottom of the nozzle 102, and enters the nozzle 102 at a position corresponding to the outer periphery of the gas chromatography column 104. Finally, it mixes with the VOCs-containing sample gas at the end of the nozzle 102. Connected to an external power source via a conductive component, the heating wire 201 of the ignition assembly is heated to its ignition temperature. The heating wire 201 ignites the VOCs-containing sample gas. With the aid of oxygen, a flame is generated at the nozzle 102. The VOCs-containing sample gas continues to burn, generating ions in the collecting electrode 105. The collecting electrode 105 collects the ions generated in the flame and generates a micro-current signal, which is transmitted to the data processing system to calculate the air VOCs concentration.

[0047] Wherein, when the sample gas containing VOCs is ignited and flows through the conductive piece, the conductive piece can pull the insulating ring 202 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the insulating ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position. As shown in Figure 6 The insulating ring 202 is in the second limit position. When the insulating ring 202 moves from the first limit position to the second limit position, the gear 204 can engage with the rack 110, so that the insulating ring 202 can rotate around its own axis by a set angle, so that the two conductive pieces 301 of the conductive piece can be conductively connected with the conductive part 203 corresponding to the next heating wire 201 adjacent to it. When the sample gas containing VOCs is ignited again, it is realized by the energization of the next heating wire 201, avoiding the damage caused by the multiple use of a single heating wire 201, and prolonging the service life of the continuous monitoring device of air VOCs concentration.

[0048] Due to the combustion of the sample gas containing VOCs, the temperature of the detector body is increased, so that the gas in the telescopic bag 404 is gasified and expanded, and when the insulating ring 202 moves to the second limit position, the blocking plate 3021 at the bottom of the insulating plate 302 no longer blocks the cleaning ring 401, so that the cleaning ring 401 can move upward under the push of the telescopic bag 404, and in turn drive the scraping ring 403 to clean the inner wall of the collecting electrode 105. The scraped pollutants are discharged with the gas.

[0049] Finally, after stopping supplying the gas to the nozzle 102, the temperature of the detector body is reduced, the telescopic bag 404 is liquefied and shrinks, and the cleaning ring 401 is reset downward. Under the action of the first reset spring 304, the insulating ring 202 and the conductive piece are restored to the initial state, and the insulating ring 202 moves from the second limit position to the first limit position without rotating the insulating ring 202.

[0050] An embodiment of a continuous monitoring method of air VOCs concentration, which adopts the continuous monitoring device of air VOCs concentration described above, comprises the following steps: S1, supplying the sample gas containing VOCs into the detector body; S2, energizing the heating wire 201 through the conductive piece, so that the heating wire 201 ignites the sample gas containing VOCs; S3, the collecting electrode 105 continuously monitors the ions generated when the sample gas containing VOCs is burned, and generates a micro-current signal; S4, calculating the air VOCs concentration according to the micro-current signal.

[0051] Any combination of the technical features in the above embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described above.
