[0028] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the shell 1 and the upper cover 2 are connected by bolts to ensure the tightness of the joint surface. The detection module 3 is fixed inside the shell 1 so that it can accurately detect the smoke in the very early stage of the fire. The air inlet 31 and the air outlet 34 are installed at the corresponding mounting holes so that the air can smoothly enter and discharge the detection module 3. The suction component 32 sucks the air from the air inlet 31 into the PCB component 33, the PCB component 33 detects the air, and the air outlet 34 discharges the detected air to ensure the normal operation of the system. A metal sintered mesh 4 is arranged at the air inlet 31 and the air outlet 34 to block the ignition factors in the air intake and outlet and improve the explosion-proof performance. The metal sintered mesh 4 is fixedly installed at the air inlet 31 and the air outlet 34 of the detection module 3 by a clamping device to ensure its stability and sealing. For the mounting holes where the air inlet 31 and the air outlet 34 are not installed, a plug 5 is used to seal them to prevent external impurities from entering the system. Among them, by setting the surface roughness of the joint surface of the shell 1 and the upper cover 2 to be less than Ra1.6 and the gap to be less than 0.15mm, the sealing performance of the explosion-proof shell is improved and the possibility of explosion is reduced. The detection module 3 can accurately detect the smoke in the very early stage of the fire, give early warning, and improve the effect of fire prevention and control. The setting of the metal sintered mesh 4 effectively blocks the ignition factors in the air intake and outlet, and further improves the explosion-proof performance. The use of the clamping device ensures the stability and sealing of the metal sintered mesh 4 to prevent leakage or loosening. The use of the plug 5 ensures the sealing of the mounting holes at the uninstalled air inlet 31 and the air outlet 34, prevents external impurities from entering the system, and improves the overall reliability.

During operation, the flameproof thread structure has good self-locking properties, can firmly fix the connection between the plug 5 and the mounting hole, can withstand large loads and vibrations, and ensure that a reliable connection state can still be maintained in a harsh working environment. Moreover, the flameproof thread structure can effectively block the external explosion energy from being transmitted to the inside of the device, reduce the possibility of explosion, and thus improve the explosion-proof performance of the entire system.

[0035] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the stainless steel material has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemical substances such as acid and alkali, thereby ensuring the stability and service life of the metal sintered mesh 4. The metal sintered mesh 4 sintered by powder metallurgy has a high porosity and uniform pore size distribution, which can provide a larger gas flow area and improve the gas filtration efficiency.
