[0002] In the industrial production process, alarm probes, as a combustible gas alarm, are increasingly used in industrial environments where combustible gases exist, to conduct real-time monitoring and alarm of combustible gas concentrations in the industrial environment.

[0003] However, the air inlet of the existing industrial alarm probe only has a metal powder sintered sheet and no waterproof structure, which cannot prevent the entry of water molecules. As a result, the alarm cannot meet the protection level requirements in harsh high-humidity environments, seriously affecting the normal operation of the alarm.

[0004] Moreover, when the life of the alarm sensor expires, the sensor needs to be replaced. At this time, the operator is often required to open the cover of the alarm at the site of use to perform zero adjustment and calibration. Considering that explosion-proof alarms are usually installed in dangerous explosion-proof areas, sparks generated in such areas can cause serious injuries.

[0005] At present, the existing industrial alarms often assemble the sensor circuit board and the probe housing together, which means that when replacing the sensor, the operator needs to open the cover of the alarm to interact with the sensor plug to complete the sensor replacement operation. When opening the cover on site for zeroing and calibration, the operator is prone to cause internal circuit short circuit due to misoperation, which in turn generates sparks, making the work extremely dangerous.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an alarm probe, including a fixed module and a movable module; the fixed module includes a probe shell 1 and a socket assembly, the probe shell 1 is provided with a first accommodating groove opening downward, the socket assembly is fixedly installed in the first accommodating groove, and the socket assembly includes a socket body 4; the movable module includes a probe cover 14 and a plug assembly, the probe cover 14 is provided with a second accommodating groove opening upward, the plug assembly is fixedly installed in the second accommodating groove, the upper end of the plug assembly is provided with a plug body 5, the plug body 5 is matched and plugged with the socket body 4, the probe cover 14 is matched and spliced ​​with the probe shell 1, so that the first accommodating groove and the second accommodating groove form a protective cavity; the lower end of the plug assembly is provided with a sensor body 15, a waterproof and breathable membrane 12 and a sintered sheet 8 are stacked from top to bottom between the sensor body 15 and the bottom of the second accommodating groove, the bottom of the second accommodating groove is connected to the outside through a first connecting hole 141, and the sintered sheet 8 blocks the first connecting hole 141.

[0030] The alarm probe adopts the design of a protective cavity surrounded by the first accommodating groove and the second accommodating groove, which effectively protects the socket assembly and the plug assembly, and meets the requirements of explosion-proof; after the monitoring gas enters the alarm probe from the first connecting hole 141, it needs to pass through the combined structure of the waterproof breathable membrane 12 and the sintered sheet 8, which can buffer the airflow of the monitoring gas and block the external water molecules outside the probe, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the alarm probe and the accuracy of the monitoring data. The above structure not only meets the protection level requirements of the alarm probe in a high humidity environment, but also ensures the normal operation of the alarm probe, which helps to ensure that the alarm probe has good sensitivity in high-speed airflow testing, solves the pain point of airflow impacting the sensor during testing, and significantly increases the response sensitivity and accuracy of the alarm probe to the monitoring gas. With the design of the plug body 5 and the socket body 4 being pluggable and connected inside the alarm probe, the operator only needs to unplug the plug assembly and replace it with a new one when replacing the sensor body 15, without the need to open the cover. The above improvements simplify the operation steps, reduce the workload of the operator, and enable the replacement operation of the sensor body 15 to be completed quickly and independently without disconnecting the power supply to the alarm probe and opening the cover.

[0031] In this embodiment, the monitoring gas is methane. In other implementations of this embodiment, the monitoring gas is other gases, and the type of gas is determined according to the actual engineering of the specific working scene, and will not be elaborated here.

The sintered sheet clamp ring 7 is provided to help optimize the flow trajectory of the monitoring gas, and to facilitate guiding the monitoring gas to flow to the sensor body 15, thereby helping to improve the detection sensitivity of the alarm probe; and the design of the opening of the sintered sheet clamp ring 7 gradually expanding from top to bottom can speed up the rapid discharge of the monitoring gas, thereby speeding up the flow of the monitoring gas.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom end of the opening of the sintered sheet clamp 7 has a chamfer 701. Specifically, the chamfer 701 is a C2.5 chamfer.

[0034] Exemplarily, the active module also includes an EVA foam ring 11, which is sleeved on the sensor body 15, and the EVA foam ring 11 is clamped between the plug assembly and the sintered sheet clamp 7. The EVA foam ring 11 can ensure that the monitoring gas directly enters the sensor body 15, thereby ensuring that the sensor body 15 can respond quickly to the monitoring gas, which helps to further improve the detection sensitivity of the alarm probe. At the same time, the EVA foam ring 11 is clamped between the plug assembly and the sintered sheet clamp 7 to define the location of the EVA foam ring 11 in the protective cavity. The clamping and positioning matching method reduces the risk of relative displacement between the components due to accidents, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the alarm probe.

[0035] For example, the sintered sheet 8 is a stainless steel metal powder sintered sheet, and the thickness of the sintered sheet 8 is 20 microns; the protection level of the waterproof breathable membrane 12 is IP67. According to the above specific definitions, the working effect of the sintered sheet 8 and the waterproof breathable membrane 12 can be improved, and while ensuring the smooth buffering of the airflow of the monitored gas, the water molecules in the airflow are blocked outside the probe, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the alarm probe.

[0036] Exemplarily, the bottom of the second accommodating groove is connected to the outside through the second connecting hole, and the second connecting hole is filled with epoxy resin glue 13. Specifically, the epoxy resin glue 13 is formed by glue pouring. The design of sealing the second connecting hole with epoxy resin glue 13 can ensure the explosion-proof effect of the alarm probe.

[0038] In this embodiment, one of the socket assembly and the plug assembly is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 901, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 201, the number of the positioning grooves 201 and the positioning posts 901 are the same and correspond to each other, and the positioning posts 901 are matched and plugged into the positioning grooves 201.
