Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of methane sensors, and particularly relates to a long-distance communication wireless laser methane sensor for mines. Background Art
[0002] Gas injury is a common production safety accident at coal mine production sites. When the gas at the production site exceeds a certain concentration, it will not only affect the health of mine workers, but may also cause concentration accumulation and death. If you are not careful, an explosion may occur. Therefore, the detection of gas concentration in coal mines must be accurate and reliable.
[0003] The traditional method of detecting methane concentration is to use a carrier catalytic element (commonly known as a "black and white element"), which is cheap and widely used. However, it also reacts chemically with methane gas during gas detection, causing its own consumption and performance degradation, so the sensor needs to be calibrated regularly. Laser methane sensors use optical detection principles and have the advantages of high sensitivity and fast response time. They have been gradually accepted and recognized by users in recent years.
[0004] Existing methane sensors have the problem of poor protection, especially some of their exposed components, such as antennas and laser methane detection elements. Due to the working characteristics of these components, they must be exposed to the outside, and existing methane sensors lack protective structures for these components. Methane sensors working in coal mines are very easy to be damaged by objects falling from the outside. Therefore, we hope to design a laser methane sensor with a new structure to solve this problem.
