At the bottom of the fixed rod 7, an adjusting rod 23 is provided. At the bottom of the adjusting rod 23, a limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected. At the bottom of the connecting pipe 2, a first sealing ring 16 is fixedly connected. Outside the air inlet pipe 17, a second sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected. On both sides of the air inlet pipe 17, mounting racks 21 are fixedly connected. On the mounting rack 21, a gas detection module 20 is installed. On the gas detection module 20, an alarm module 19 is installed;
[0025] Inside the support plate 3, a reserved opening is provided, and a sealing ring is installed inside the reserved opening. The filter rack 4 is embedded inside the reserved opening and closely fits with the sealing ring. The connecting pipe 2 and the air inlet pipe 17 are in threaded connection. The gas detection module 20 is arranged on both sides of the air inlet pipe 17. There is an electrical connection between the gas detection module 20 and the alarm module 19. Both the gas detection module 20 and the alarm module 19 are connected to the control end of the filtering device;
[0026] Specifically, as Figure 1 andFigure 3 As shown, the first sealing ring 16 and the second sealing ring 18 on the connecting pipe 2 and the intake pipe 17 are closely attached to achieve sealing. Once natural gas leaks at the connection, the gas detection module 20 can detect the natural gas leakage in time, and then the alarm module 19 alarms the control terminal to remind the staff to repair.
[0027] Embodiment 2: The activated carbon filter element 5 adopts a columnar sintered structure. A support skeleton 11 is arranged outside the activated carbon filter element 5. There are three groups of support skeletons 11 and they are annularly installed inside the filter frame 4. Threaded sealing grooves are arranged inside both the first sealing cover 8 and the second sealing cover 12.
[0028] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the activated carbon filter element 5 adopts a columnar sintered structure. The activated carbon filter element 5 is sintered as a whole, which is convenient and quick to take out and replace during replacement. Moreover, the gaps between the activated carbon particles of the columnar sintered activated carbon filter element 5 become smaller, the sealing is reliable, and the adsorption effect is better.

When limiting, first pull down the adjusting rod 23. When the adjusting rod 23 drives the limit plate 9 to move to fit the top of the filter rack 4, the clamping plate 6 at the bottom of the limit plate 9 can clamp both sides of the filter rack 4. Then, tightening the locking bolt 22 can achieve the limit. The activated carbon filter element 5 adopts a columnar sintered structure. The activated carbon filter element 5 is sintered as a whole, which is convenient and fast to take out and replace during replacement. Moreover, the gaps between the activated carbon particles of the columnar sintered activated carbon filter element 5 become smaller, with reliable sealing and better adsorption effect. The first sealing ring 16 and the second sealing ring 18 on the connecting pipe 2 and the air inlet pipe 17 are closely attached to achieve sealing.
