[0024] Coal mines produce a large amount of methane during operation, which causes serious harm to the environment and the health of mine workers. At present, in order to improve the methane emission control capability and management level, so as to further improve the utilization level of coal mine gas, the methane concentration in the mine can be detected by a gas detection sensor. However, the detection accuracy of the gas detection sensor proposed in the prior art is low and cannot meet the requirements of the PPm level, resulting in poor statistical accounting capabilities for methane emissions, which increases the difficulty of monitoring and regulating methane emissions. Based on this, an embodiment of the utility model provides a methane concentration measurement device. By combining a laser ranging module and a methane telemetry module, the accuracy of methane concentration measurement can be significantly improved, thereby improving the management and control capabilities of methane emissions.

[0026] The methane concentration measurement device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can significantly improve the accuracy of methane concentration measurement by combining a laser ranging module and a methane telemetry module, thereby improving the management and control capabilities of methane emissions.
[0027] See also Figure 2 The structure diagram of a methane telemetry module shown in the figure includes: a methane concentration detector, a first laser and a lens, the first laser and the lens are connected, and the methane concentration detector is connected to the first laser, wherein the first laser is used to emit laser light at a preset wavelength straight ahead, the lens is used to converge the laser light and adjust the laser emission angle so that the laser light is converged and emitted to the methane gas mass, and the methane concentration detector is used to receive the first reflected laser light corresponding to the laser light emitted by the first laser, and determine the unit concentration of the methane gas mass according to the attenuation degree of the first reflected laser light. In actual application, when the laser light emitted by the first laser passes through After the leaked methane gas mass, the laser is reflected by the reflecting surface and passes through the gas mass again to return to the methane concentration detector. The methane concentration detector can then complete the bending concentration measurement. Furthermore, since the leaked methane gas mass is blown by the wind, it is constantly changing and unevenly distributed in space and time. In addition, since the distance between the instrument and the reflector is uncertain, the thickness of the methane gas mass is also uncertain. Therefore, in order to describe the methane concentration value under this state, it is necessary to use the unit concentration concept expression, where the reflector can be a mine wall, etc., and the unit concentration (ppm.m) = methane concentration (ppm) × standard thickness (1m).

In practical applications, based on the measurement principle of the above-mentioned methane telemetry module, the methane telemetry module can only perform rough measurements, and the unit concentration can be understood as the methane telemetry module and the reflection The concentration of methane molecules in the straight line between the targets is uniformly compressed or expanded to an area with a thickness of 1 meter. For example, the measurement value of the methane telemetry module for a methane air mass with a thickness of 5 meters and a concentration of 20ppm on its detection line is 100ppm.m, which is equivalent to the air mass being compressed to a thickness of 1 meter and a concentration of 100ppm. However, for an air mass with a thickness of 0.5 meters and a concentration of 200ppm on its detection line, its measurement value is also 100ppm, which is equivalent to the air mass being expanded to a thickness of 1 meter and a concentration of 100ppm.
