Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning duct surface sampling technology, and more specifically, relates to a probe-type multifunctional sampling device and method for the inner surface of centralized air conditioning ducts. Background Technology

[0002] In China, centralized air conditioning systems must undergo annual hygiene testing, conducted in accordance with the "Hygienic Standard for Centralized Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems in Public Places" (WS 10013-2023). This standard stipulates that centralized air conditioning systems must monitor the supply air (total bacterial count, total fungal count, β-hemolytic streptococci, and inhalable particulate matter (PM10)). Currently, sampling of the inner surfaces of air ducts in centralized air conditioning ventilation systems largely relies on manual operation, which has significant drawbacks, such as: ① Poor safety: Testing personnel must enter the narrow, dark interior of the ducts, posing a personal safety risk. ② Low efficiency: Manual wiping sampling is time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to reach deep within large ducts, resulting in insufficient representativeness of sampling points. ③ Poor repeatability and accuracy: The force, speed, and trajectory of manual wiping cannot be standardized, leading to large fluctuations in sampling results and poor comparability. ④ Susceptibility to cross-contamination: Changing sampling tools and operating procedures may introduce human error.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, Chinese invention patent CN113588331B discloses a centralized air conditioning duct inner surface sampling system, comprising a handheld module and a telescopic rod mounted thereon. The front end of the telescopic rod is extended to a position close to the duct opening, and a posture adjustment module is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic rod. The first and second adjustment wheels in the handheld module control the drive block servo motor and angle adjustment servo motor in the posture adjustment module, respectively, to adjust the extension length of the adjustment rod and its angle with the horizontal plane. The posture adjustment module is also equipped with a light to illuminate the duct opening area. A sampling module is attached to the end of the adjustment rod. This module uses an upper dust collection box and a lower dust collection box. The lower dust collection box can simultaneously collect dust twice. Finally, the lower dust collection box can be disassembled and weighed, ensuring a sealing effect and preventing incomplete dust collection that could affect the final sampling data. This solves the problems of sampling personnel needing to climb ladders to sample dust from centralized air conditioning duct openings and the potential for sampling errors.

[0004] The aforementioned patented technology overcomes the limitations of traditional sampling methods to some extent, but it still has the following technical problems or areas for improvement. For example, this technical solution can only sample dust accumulation, but centralized air conditioning hygiene testing requires sampling and testing of microorganisms, thus it is not highly compatible with standard testing requirements; during the process of extending the device into the centralized air conditioning duct, the sampling head surface is not protected, leading to the adhesion of contaminants during the process, affecting the accuracy of subsequent analysis. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a probe-type multifunctional sampling device for the inner surface of centralized air conditioning ducts to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides a probe-type multifunctional sampling device for the inner surface of centralized air conditioning ducts and its usage method. It simultaneously supports microbial sampling and dust accumulation sampling, highly adapting to hygiene standards and testing requirements. This solves the problem of existing technologies only being able to perform single dust accumulation sampling, achieving "one machine for multiple uses." Through an orthogonal wiping actuator, gripping control components, and a drive system, the sampler's automatic gripping, unfolding, wiping, and retraction operations are achieved. The wiping trajectory, force, and speed are uniformly controlled by the mechanical system, avoiding inconsistencies from manual operation and significantly improving sampling repeatability and accuracy. Furthermore, the sampler is in a retracted state during insertion into the duct, unfolding only mechanically at the sampling point, effectively avoiding the adhesion of contaminants along the way, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and ensuring sample purity and analytical accuracy.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the method of using the probe-type multifunctional sampling device for the inner surface of a centralized air conditioning duct includes the following steps: S100: First, the operator pre-installs the microbial sampler 3 and the dust accumulation sampler 4 into the carrier block, and then installs the carrier block into the first sampler mounting assembly 120 and the second sampler mounting assembly 130. S200: Hold the handle 201 and, by adjusting the rotation driver and extension control lever, place the data acquisition and execution component 1 at the air conditioning sampling point; S300: Start the system.

S324: After sampling is completed, the linear motor 1141 is first slowly pulled back. Under the rebound of the second reset spring 405, the second transmission pressure plate 403 moves upward, thereby driving the opening and closing claw to close. Then, through the cooperation of the orthogonal screw module, the push cylinder, and the linear motor 1141, the dust accumulation sampler 4 is reinstalled into the second sampler mounting assembly 130.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, both microbial sampling and dust accumulation sampling are supported simultaneously, highly adaptable to the testing requirements of hygiene standards, and solving the problem that existing technologies can only perform single dust accumulation sampling, thus achieving "one machine for multiple uses." Through an orthogonal wiping actuator, gripping control components, and a drive system, the sampler's automatic gripping, unfolding, wiping, and retraction operations are realized. The wiping trajectory, force, and speed are uniformly controlled by the mechanical system, avoiding inconsistencies from manual operation and significantly improving the repeatability and accuracy of sampling. Furthermore, the sampler is in a retracted state during insertion into the duct, unfolding only at the sampling point through mechanical drive, effectively avoiding the adhesion of contaminants along the way, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and ensuring the purity and accuracy of the sample analysis. The microbial sampler is equipped with a sealing ring and sampling bottle, while the dust accumulation sampler uses non-woven fabric and a sealed design to ensure the integrity of the sample during transportation and storage, preventing volatilization or contamination. Overall, this invention, through mechanized and automated design, achieves safe, efficient, accurate, and multifunctional sampling of the inner surface of centralized air conditioning ducts, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of traditional manual sampling and improving the reliability and standardization of hygiene testing.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the upper, lower, left, and right directions of the inner surface of the central air conditioning duct can be sampled by adjusting the extension rod assembly.
