DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0041] Embodiment one, reference Figures 1 to 15 The gas meter leakage alarm device shown in the figure comprises a base mechanism 1, the inside of the base mechanism 1 is provided with a substrate mechanism 4 for preventing the performance of the leakage alarm from being degraded due to poisoning, the bottom of the substrate mechanism 4 is provided with a rotating blade mechanism 3 for extracting surrounding air for gas detection, and the bottom of the base mechanism 1 is provided with a mesh flocculation assembly 2 for filtering large-particle impurities in the air.

[0042] The rotating blade mechanism 3 comprises a rotating assembly 31 for extracting surrounding air and an inner rotating blade assembly 32 for guiding the direction of airflow and changing the flow path of air in the mesh flocculation assembly 2, thereby improving the contact efficiency of gas with the leakage alarm.

[0043] It is worth noting that the base mechanism 1 is installed on the top of the area where gas may leak. Since the density of common gas such as natural gas is less than that of air, the leaked gas will naturally rise and gather in the upper space. Therefore, the installation on the top is beneficial to timely capture of the leaked gas.

[0044] After installation, the rotating assembly 31 rotates at a low speed to actively extract surrounding air and guide the airflow into the inside of the equipment. The airflow is guided into the area of the mesh flocculation assembly 2 through the inner rotating blade assembly 32. The inner rotating blade assembly 32 not only plays a role in guiding the airflow, but also can rotate synchronously with the rotating assembly 31 to dynamically change the direction of incoming air and the detection airflow path, thereby improving the detection coverage range and response speed.

[0045] The base mechanism 1 is installed on the top of the area where gas may leak. The physical characteristics of common gas such as natural gas, i.e., the density of the gas is less than that of air and the leaked gas is easy to gather upward, are fully utilized to realize rapid capture of the leaked gas, thereby significantly improving the timeliness and sensitivity of detection. After the rotating assembly 31 is started, it operates at a low speed to actively extract surrounding air, thereby forming a stable airflow into the inside of the equipment. The airflow is guided into the area of the mesh flocculation assembly 2 through the inner rotating blade assembly 32. This assembly not only realizes effective filtration of large-particle impurities to protect the internal elements, but also realizes dynamic change of the direction of incoming air and periodic scanning of the detection airflow path through the linkage design of the inner rotating blade assembly 32 and the rotating assembly 31, thereby forming a multi-point and wide-area coverage sampling mode to expand the detection range and avoid the risk of missed detection caused by local airflow dead angle.

[0046] In the process of continuous air suction, the gas meter leakage alarm starts the dual-mode cooperative detection mechanism to ensure the detection accuracy and the long-term stability of the sensor.

[0047] Detection mode one: air first enters the net-fuzz assembly 2, which serves as a primary filtering unit to intercept dust, oil mist, fibers and other large-particle impurities in the air to prevent them from entering the interior and polluting the sensor. Then, in cooperation with the rotating flow guide design of the inner rotating blade assembly 32, it realizes alternate sampling of different spatial orientations, forms a mobile detection effect, avoids the blind area problem caused by single fixed sampling, and improves the capture ability of sudden leakage.

[0048] Detection mode two: the pre-processed air enters the substrate mechanism 4, which is internally provided with a selectively permeable functional material such as a PTFE film, a poison-resistant catalytic layer or a molecular sieve coating, allowing only the target combustible gas to pass through while blocking water vapor, organosilicon, sulfides and other interference components that may cause sensor poisoning.

[0049] The substrate mechanism 4 cooperates with the inner rotating blade assembly 32 to ensure stable air delivery while protecting the core sensor from pollution and preventing sensitivity decay or false alarms caused by long-term use.

[0050] The dual-mode cooperative detection mechanism significantly improves the accuracy, response speed and long-term stability of gas leakage detection. In the process of continuous air suction, the first detection mode combines the net-fuzz assembly 2 and the inner rotating blade assembly 32 to achieve physical filtration and dynamic sampling. The net-fuzz assembly 2 serves as a primary filtering unit to effectively intercept dust, oil mist, fibers and other large-particle pollutants in the air, preventing sensor pollution and channel blockage.

[0051] Meanwhile, the inner rotating blade assembly 32 dynamically changes the air inlet direction during rotation, realizing alternate sampling of different spatial orientations, forming a mobile detection effect, eliminating the detection blind area of fixed-point sampling, and improving the capture ability of sudden and local gas leakage. The second detection mode realizes high-selectivity component analysis through the substrate mechanism 4, which is internally integrated with PTFE film, poison-resistant catalytic layer or molecular sieve coating functional materials, with molecular-level screening capability, allowing only target combustible gases such as methane and propane to pass through while blocking water vapor, organosilicon, sulfides and other interference substances that easily cause sensor poisoning, thereby fundamentally reducing the aging rate of the sensor.

[0052] The substrate mechanism 4 cooperates with the inner rotating blade assembly 32 to ensure continuous and stable air delivery while effectively preventing sensitivity decay, zero drift and false alarm caused by pollution or chemical poisoning of the core sensor, significantly extending the service life and maintenance period of the device. The dual-mode cooperative mechanism realizes the organic combination of wide-area sampling and accurate identification, significantly improving the reliability of the gas leakage alarm device in complex environments.

[0053] The base mechanism 1 provided in embodiment one, this embodiment provides further technical solutions of the base mechanism 1.

[0054] The base mechanism 1 comprises a mounting plate 11, the lower end of the mounting plate 11 is provided with a mounting pipe 12, the outer surface of the mounting pipe 12 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 13, one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 11 is provided with a driving motor 15, and the output end of the driving motor 15 is provided with a gear tooth 14.

[0055] The rotating assembly 31 comprises a sliding ring sleeve 312, the sliding ring sleeve 312 is slidingly installed on the outer surface of the sliding ring 41, the outer surface of the sliding ring sleeve 312 is provided with a gear ring 313, and the gear ring 313 is engaged with the gear tooth 14, and the lower end of the sliding ring sleeve 312 is provided with a plurality of oblique leaves 311 arranged in an annular array.

[0056] It is worth noting that the mounting plate 11 is fixed to the wall or other mounting surface to realize the overall stable installation of the equipment, and when working, the driving motor 15 is started, the output shaft drives the gear tooth 14 to rotate, the gear tooth 14 is engaged with the gear ring 313, thereby driving the gear ring 313 to rotate synchronously, the gear ring 313 is connected with the sliding ring sleeve 312, thereby driving the sliding ring sleeve 312 to rotate along the outer peripheral surface of the mounting frame 40, and the rotation of the sliding ring sleeve 312 further drives the oblique leaves 311 fixed thereon to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the active suction and directional flow guiding of the surrounding air.

[0057] The net and flocculus assembly 2 comprises a mounting ring 21, the outer surface of the mounting ring 21 is provided with a ventilation hole 28, the inner wall of the mounting ring 21 is provided with a first flocculus cover 22, and the mounting ring 21 is installed at the lower end of the mounting pipe 12.

[0058] The upper end of the guide leaf 322 is provided with a mounting cover 323, the inside of the mounting cover 323 is provided with a first sensor 324, the outer surface of the mounting cover 323 is provided with a plurality of air guide grooves 328, the upper end of the first sensor 324 is provided with an electric sliding sheet 327, and the electric sliding sheet 327 is slidingly installed in the inside of the conductive coil 43, and the inner rotating leaf assembly 32 comprises an outer ring 321 and a horn cover 325.

[0059] When the oblique leaf 311 rotates under the driving of the transmission mechanism, a negative pressure effect is generated, the air around the equipment is actively extracted, the airflow enters the annular chamber of the mounting ring 21 through the ventilation hole 28 provided on the outer cover, and the air entering the chamber is first subjected to primary filtration by the first flocculus cover 22, thereby effectively intercepting dust, oil mist and other large-particle pollutants, preventing them from entering the internal structure to cause blockage or pollution.

[0060] Meanwhile, the rotation of the oblique blade 311 drives the horn cover 325 and the outer ring 321 connected thereto to rotate synchronously through the linkage structure, and the outer ring 321 further drives the circumferentially arranged guide blades 322 to rotate. Since the horn cover 325 is in a gradually expanding horn structure, it can effectively converge and guide the airflow direction, improving the air intake efficiency, and the rotating guide blades 322 apply axial thrust to the airflow, forcing the filtered air into the installation pipe 12, and finally discharging through the exhaust holes 13 in the side wall, forming a stable internal airflow circulation channel;

[0061] During the airflow conveying process, the installation cover 323 rotates synchronously with the guide blade assembly, and the first sensor 324 integrated in the installation cover 323 also rotates synchronously, which enables the first sensor 324 to continuously and dynamically detect the gas concentration in the air at multiple spatial points covered by the rotating path, achieving mobile multi-point detection, improving the detection range and response speed, and avoiding the detection blind area problem of fixed sensors;

[0062] To ensure stable power supply for the sensor in the rotating state, a sliding electrical contact structure composed of an electrically sliding sheet 327 and a conductive coil 43 fixed to the base is provided to realize continuous and reliable power transmission between the rotating component and the stationary circuit, ensuring that the first sensor 324 is always in normal working state during continuous rotation.

[0063] Among them, the meshing transmission between the driving motor 15, the gear ring 313, the sliding ring sleeve 312 and the oblique blade 311 realizes the active inhalation and directional flow guiding of the surrounding air. After the airflow enters the installation ring 21 through the air hole 28, it is primarily filtered by the first mesh cover 22, effectively intercepting dust, oil mist and other large-particle pollutants to prevent internal component pollution or blockage. The rotation of the oblique blade 311 drives the horn cover 325, the outer ring 321 and the guide blades 322 to rotate synchronously through the linkage structure, wherein the gradually expanding structure of the horn cover 325 can efficiently converge the airflow, and the guide blades 322 apply axial thrust to force the filtered air into the installation pipe 12 and discharge through the exhaust holes 13, forming an efficient and stable multi-stage airflow circulation channel, improving the air intake efficiency and gas update speed;

[0064] The installation cover 323 rotates synchronously with the guide blade assembly, and the first sensor 324 integrated in the installation cover 323 also rotates synchronously, realizing continuous dynamic detection of multiple points in space and forming a mobile multi-point sampling mode, effectively eliminating the detection blind area of fixed sensors and significantly improving the capture ability and response speed of sudden gas leakage. At the same time, the sliding electrical contact structure composed of the electrically sliding sheet 327 and the conductive coil 43 provides continuous and reliable power supply for the first sensor 324 in the rotating state, ensuring its stable operation during long-term operation, achieving active sampling and multi-point monitoring, and significantly improving the detection sensitivity and coverage range of the gas leakage alarm device.

[0065] Embodiment three, according to the substrate mechanism 4 proposed in embodiment one, the embodiment provides further technical solutions of the substrate mechanism 4.

[0066] The substrate mechanism 4 comprises a mounting frame 40, the inner wall of the mounting frame 40 is provided with a circuit board 42, and the lower end of the mounting frame 40 is provided with a slip ring 41, and the lower end of the circuit board 42 is provided with a conductive coil 43.

[0067] The lower end of the mounting ring 21 is provided with a bottom ring 26, the outer surface of the bottom ring 26 is provided with a plurality of leakage holes 27 arranged in a ring array, the inner wall of the leakage hole 27 is provided with a second flocculation cover 23, the inner wall of the bottom ring 26 is provided with a sealing tube 24, and the inner wall of the sealing tube 24 is provided with a third flocculation cover 25.

[0068] A plurality of guide leaves 322 arranged in a ring array are arranged between the outer ring 321 and the horn cover 325, and a plurality of inclined leaves 311 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the outer ring 321 and the horn cover 325, and the bottom of the horn cover 325 is provided with a plurality of spiral leaves 326 arranged in a ring array.

[0069] It is worth noting that with the rotation of the horn cover 325, the spiral leaves 326 integrated inside it rotate synchronously, the spiral leaves 326 are arranged inside the sealing tube 24, forming an axial airflow conveying structure, which produces a suction effect when rotating, sucking air from below at the bottom of the device, the airflow first passes through the third flocculation cover 25 for filtering, removing dust or particulate matter accumulated at the bottom, and then is transported to the inside of the horn cover 325 to participate in the mixing and flow guiding of the main airflow channel;

[0070] At the same time, when the inclined leaves 311 rotate to extract the surrounding air, part of the airflow enters the inside of the device through the leakage holes 27 arranged on the outer cover, and is filtered by the second flocculation cover 23 to intercept medium-sized particulate pollutants, further improving the cleanliness of the incoming air, and the filtered airflow is orderly introduced into the inside of the mounting tube 12 under the convergence and guidance of the horn cover 325 and the boost of the guide leaves 322, and finally is discharged through the exhaust hole 13, forming a complete multi-path airflow circulation.

[0071] The lower end of the circuit board 42 is provided with an electrical support 45, one end of the electrical support 45 is connected with a second sensor 46, and the outer surface of the second sensor 46 is sleeved with a high molecular filter shell 44.

[0072] Among them, the airflow entering the inside of the horn cover 325 will be further selectively filtered by the high molecular filter shell 44, which has a molecular sieve function and can allow the target combustible gas to selectively pass through, while blocking water vapor, oil mist, organic solvents and interfering components such as sulfides and silicides that may cause poisoning of the sensor;

[0073] The filtered pure gas enters the second sensor 46 inside, and high-precision concentration detection is performed, which not only improves the accuracy and response speed of detection, but also effectively protects the second sensor 46 from pollution and chemical poisoning, prolonging the service life thereof. Through the mechanism of selective filtration combined with accurate detection, reliable identification and real-time early warning of gas leakage are realized.

[0074] Among them, the present application constructs efficient and reliable gas sampling through the synergistic effect of multi-path air intake and composite filtration. As the horn cover 325 rotates, the spiral leaves 326 integrated inside it rotate synchronously in the sealed tube 24, forming an axial suction force that actively sucks air from the bottom of the device. The airflow is filtered through the third floc cover 25, effectively removing dust and particulate matter accumulated near the ground, achieving coverage of low-zone airflow and avoiding detection blind spots.

[0075] At the same time, the peripheral air extracted by the inclined leaves 311 enters through the leakage holes 27 on the outer cover and is subjected to secondary filtration by the second floc cover 23, intercepting medium-sized particulate pollutants and further improving the cleanliness of the intake air. Under the convergence and guidance of the horn cover 325 and the boost of the guide leaves 322, the two-way airflow is efficiently introduced into the installation tube 12 and discharged from the exhaust hole 13, forming a stable and continuous multi-channel airflow circulation, enhancing the gas renewal rate and response capability.

[0076] The airflow entering the horn cover 325 also needs to be selectively filtered by the high-molecular filter shell 44, allowing only the target combustible gas to pass through while blocking water vapor, oil mist, organic solvents, and harmful components such as sulfides and silicon compounds that can cause sensor poisoning. This fundamentally protects the second sensor 46 at the back end from pollution and chemical damage. The filtered pure gas enters the second sensor 46 for high-precision concentration analysis, significantly improving detection accuracy and early warning reliability, and realizing the organic integration of wide-area airflow coverage, high-purity intake protection, and anti-poisoning accurate detection.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacements of some technical features.
