[0002] Since the emergence of gas chromatography, continuous and stable injection and carrier gas purge have always been a hot topic. Since gas chromatography will separate different components in the sample gas according to their different characteristics, they will be identified and quantified by the back-end detector. In this process, in order to meet the equilibrium conditions, the sample entry and carrier gas purge must maintain a high degree of stability, so that the measured data can be highly repeatable and the authenticity of the data can be guaranteed.

[0003] In the prior art, most of the pressure consistency is controlled by manually adjusting valves. However, due to the insufficient precision of the pressure display scale, there is a certain pressure deviation in the pressure value, which in turn causes a certain deviation in the injection and purge, resulting in data abnormalities.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , is an embodiment of the utility model, which provides an explosion-proof and efficient electronic pressure controller, mainly including a valve body 100, a circuit board 200, a pressure sensor 300 and a proportional valve 400;

[0038] The valve body 100 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy or 316 stainless steel according to different requirements; the valve body 100 is provided with a three-way valve body gas path inlet 101 and a three-way valve body gas path outlet 103, and each valve body gas path inlet 101 and valve body gas path outlet 103 is installed with a threaded adapter 1011 for connecting to an external gas path; the material of the threaded adapter 1011 is preferably 316 stainless steel to ensure its strength and prevent the thread from being damaged due to frequent replacement of the external gas path and leakage occurs; the threaded adapter 1011 is connected to a fire-blocking sealing column 1012, and is sealed to the valve body 100 through the fire-blocking sealing column 1012, and the fire-blocking sealing column 1012 is made of tetrafluoroethylene PTFE; the inner side of each threaded adapter 1011 is arranged with a fire-blocking plate 1013 for filtering impurities, and the fire-blocking plate 1013 is sintered into a 316 stainless steel mesh with a filtration accuracy of 60 meshes, which ensures that not too much resistance is formed and at the same time ensures that sparks will not enter the valve body 100.

[0039] A cable inlet and outlet 102 for installing inlet and outlet lines is provided on the side of the valve body 100. The electric pressure controller is connected to external equipment through the inlet and outlet lines, and the inlet and outlet lines use explosion-proof cables; a valve cover 105 is connected to the valve body 100 through explosion-proof threads, and a valve cover sealing O-ring 1051 is arranged at the connection between the valve body 100 and the valve cover 105. When maintenance is required, the equipment is powered off and the valve cover 105 is unscrewed for operation. The valve cover 105 is preferably made of 6061 aluminum alloy to ensure its overall lightness; a valve seat 106 is fixed to the other end of the valve body 100 by fasteners, and a mounting hole for fixing the valve body 100 is reserved on one side of the valve seat 106.

[0040] The pressure sensor 300 and the proportional valve 400 are both built into the valve body 100. The pressure sensor 300 and the proportional valve 400 are electrically connected to the circuit board 200. The circuit board 200 is fixed in the valve body 100 by a brass stud. The pressure sensor 300 converts the detected pressure data into an electrical signal to the circuit board 200, so as to determine whether to adjust the opening of the proportional valve 400. The valve body 100 is provided with a mounting slot and an air path hole for the pressure sensor 300. The pressure sensor 300 is pressed against the valve body 100 by a sensor cover 301. The sensor cover 301 of the pressure sensor 300 is made of Peek material and has a relatively high hardness, which presses the pressure sensor 300 tightly, ensuring its sealing and insulating properties, and will not cause a short circuit between the circuit board 200 and the pressure sensor 300. The valve body 100 is provided with a mounting slot and an air path hole for installing the proportional valve 400. The proportional valve 400 is locked by fixing screws and sealed by the proportional valve sealing O-ring 4011. It can be used directly without the need for an additional guide plate.

[0041] Three independent in-valve gas paths 104 are arranged in the valve body 100, each of which is connected to one of the valve body gas path inlets 101, and the valve body gas path 104 is connected to the air inlet of the proportional valve 400. The sample gas or carrier gas enters the valve body 100 through one of the valve body gas path inlets 101, is filtered by the fire barrier 1013, and then enters the proportional valve 400 through one of the independent in-valve gas paths 104. The gas discharged from the gas outlet of the proportional valve 400 is divided into two streams, one of which is connected to the air inlet of the detection end of the pressure sensor 300.

The other stream is filtered out impurities that may affect the safety of the rear-end gas path through the fire barrier 1013, and then is discharged to the external gas path through the threaded adapter 1011 on the corresponding valve body gas path outlet 103.

[0042] In this embodiment: because the electronic pressure controller is equipped with fire-blocking plates 1013 at the inlet and outlet of the sample gas, explosions in the valve body 100 can be effectively prevented; the valve body 100 and the valve cover 105 use flameproof threaded seals, and the valve body 100 and the valve cover 105 meet the explosion-proof performance requirements, ensuring that even if an explosion occurs inside the valve body 100, it will not affect other equipment in the explosion area.

[0043] The combination of a proportional valve 400 and a high-precision electronic pressure sensor 300 is used for circuit control to achieve precise control of the gas pressure in the gas circuit. The valve body 100 has three air inlets. The three independent valve body air circuits 104 inside the valve body pass through different proportional valves 400 and pressure sensors 300 respectively, and then enter the external pipeline through different air outlets, so that the three-way gas can be controlled simultaneously without affecting each other, and the purpose of automatically adjusting the pressure is achieved, ensuring that the instrument detection has high accuracy and good repeatability, which can greatly improve the detection efficiency.

[0044] Since the proportional valve 400 is installed in the reserved installation slot of the valve body 100, it greatly saves space and also achieves the purpose of reducing the weight of the valve body 100, so that the electronic pressure controller has the advantages of compact overall structure, small size, low maintenance, flexible application, etc.

[0045] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a commonly used device and belongs to the existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
