Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas detection at firefighting sites, and in particular relates to a broad-spectrum gas detection device for firefighting rescue sites. Background Art

[0002] The detection of environmental gases and volatile components at fire rescue sites such as hazardous chemical accidents and fires is an important task for fire rescue teams to carry out emergency response, which is of great significance for personnel safety, rescue plan formulation, accident cause investigation, post-disaster environmental assessment, etc. However, due to the complexity, unknown and diversity of gas samples at many disaster accident sites, fire brigades often face various complex and arduous challenges when carrying out emergency response work, and existing detection equipment still has some application limitations in practical applications.

[0003] Although electrochemical technology has the characteristics of high sensitivity and specificity, it can only accurately respond to a certain type of specific gas and cannot detect other types of gases besides specific gases; even if the electrochemical sensor is integrated into a few-in-one or all-in-one detection equipment, the detection range is very limited compared with the large number of gas types, and cannot meet the requirements of comprehensive detection of complex and diverse substances on site, and is easily affected by temperature, humidity, dust, gas accumulation and interfering gases, resulting in reduced working performance. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technology can perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of gas samples, and has the advantages of mature technology and accurate results. In recent years, portable gas chromatography / mass spectrometry detection instruments have appeared. However, it is also accompanied by complex operating processes and additional mobile phase conditions such as gas sources; in addition, the instruments and equipment are expensive and the detection is time-consuming, which brings many inconveniences to fire scene work. Laser and multi-spectral imaging telemetry technology can detect dangerous gases in real time at a safe distance, but its detection is easily interfered with and the detection accuracy is not high, so it cannot effectively meet the needs of quantitative detection of environmental gas components at the accident site. In addition, residual compounds at the scene often penetrate into solid matrices at the scene, such as soil and concrete. The volatile compound components in these solid matrices are also important contents of fire scene detection. Different sample types bring more difficulties to the on-site application of conventional detection instruments. Summary of the invention
