[0021] Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it relates to a flow calibration device for a constant flow atmospheric sampler, comprising a box body 1 and a vortex air pump 11, a constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 is placed inside the box body 1, a first conduit 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5, one end of the first conduit 6 is fixedly connected to a sampling tube 14, one end of the sampling tube 14 is fixedly installed with a gas mass flowmeter 7, and the gas mass flowmeter 7 can be used to calibrate the flow of the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5;

[0022] A box cover 2 is hinged at the top rear side of the box body 1, and an atmospheric pressure gauge 4 is fixedly installed through one end of the upper surface of the box cover 2. The atmospheric pressure gauge 4 can monitor the atmospheric pressure in the box body 1, and a lock buckle 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the box body 1 and the box cover 2 away from the hinge, so that the box body 1 and the box cover 2 can be closed to achieve independent sealing of the entire test space;

[0023] The air inlet and the air outlet of the vortex air pump 11 are fixedly connected to the second duct 9 and the third duct 10 respectively, and one end of the second duct 9 and the third duct 10 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the box body 1. Correspondingly, one side of the outer surface of the box body 1 is provided with through holes matching the second duct 9 and the third duct 10.

[0024] An exhaust pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer surface of the box body 1, and another through hole matching the exhaust pipe 8 is opened on the other side of the outer surface of the box body 1, and a valve body 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the exhaust pipe 8, and the exhaust pipe 8 can be adjusted by the valve body 13 to control the atmospheric pressure in the box body 1.

[0025] The first conduit 6, the second conduit 9 and the third conduit 10 are all hoses, and the three can be made of materials such as rubber hoses, plastic spring hoses, etc.

[0026] A handle 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 , and the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 can be lifted by holding the handle 12 , thereby making it convenient for the staff to take it out from the inside of the box 1 .

[0027] The box body 1 and the box cover 2 are both made of acrylic plates, and the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are both colorless and transparent materials. The box body 1 and the box cover 2 made of acrylic material have good tensile and impact resistance, and good toughness, so they can withstand a certain positive pressure and negative pressure, and the colorless and transparent material makes it easy for the staff to observe the readings on the gas mass flow meter 7 and the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 through the box body 1.

[0028] When using the flow calibration device for the constant flow atmospheric sampler, that is, using the gas mass flowmeter 7 to self-calibrate the flow of the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5, the atmospheric pressure should be changed at a certain ambient temperature to simulate whether the flow value of the atmospheric sampler under different atmospheric pressures meets the requirements, that is, the error is within 5%:

[0029] First, the vortex air pump 11 is used to evacuate or inflate the acrylic box 1 from the second conduit 9 or the third conduit 10 to achieve the purpose of reducing or increasing the atmospheric pressure in the acrylic box 1, and the atmospheric pressure value in the box 1 can be monitored by the atmospheric pressure gauge 4. The atmospheric pressure in the box 1 can also be controlled by adjusting the exhaust pipe 8 on the acrylic box 1. When the pressure reaches a predetermined value, the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 is started and the corresponding flow rate is set. After the flow rate of the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5 is stable, the gas mass flowmeter 7 is started to allow the gas to pass through the first conduit 6 and the sampling tube 14 from the flowmeter to the constant flow atmospheric sampler body 5, and the reading of the gas mass flowmeter 7 is read and recorded. This flow rate is the actual flow rate of the atmospheric sampler.

[0030] Specifically, for example, the BS type constant flow atmospheric sampler purchased on the market displays a flow rate Q1 at a temperature of 20°C and an atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa. This flow rate is converted to a flow rate Q2 under standard conditions (0°C, 101.3 kPa) (Q2 = Q1 × [273 / (273+t)] × [p / 101.3]).

[0031] The MF4000 series gas mass flowmeter purchased on the market shows the flow rate Q3 at a temperature of 20°C and an atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa. This flow rate is also converted to the flow rate Q4 under standard conditions (0°C, 101.3 kPa) (Q4 = Q3 × [273 / (273+t)] × [p / 101.3]). The error between Q2 and Q4 is calculated to be ≤5% (error = (Q2-Q4) / (Q2+Q4) × 100%), indicating that the equipment can continue to be put into use.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
