[0035] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0036] Embodiment: A membrane changing device applied to a particulate matter sampler, see attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 5 , including a fixing plate 1, a turntable 2, a filter membrane push rod 4, an air inlet seat 111, a lower sampling tube 3 and a power mechanism 5. The top of the fixing plate 1 is provided with work positions arranged uniformly around the vertical axis, namely a first work position 11, a second work position 12 and a third work position 13. A relief hole 10 is provided at each work position; the turntable 2 is arranged inside the fixing plate 1 and the axis is vertical. The turntable 2 rotates around its own vertical axis inside the fixing plate 1. The three work positions are arranged around the axis of the turntable 2. Three vertically penetrating load holes 21 are provided on the turntable 2, and the filter membrane is accommodated in the load holes 21; the filter membrane push rod 4 is arranged below the fixing plate 1 and is located below the second work position 12. The filter membrane push rod 4 is used to push the turntable 2 to rotate so that the filter membrane in the load hole 21 at the second work position 12 moves upward into the filter membrane bin above the second work position 12; the air inlet seat 111 is arranged above the first work position 11; the lower sampling tube 3 is arranged below the fixing plate 1 and can move up and down to push the filter membrane in the load hole 21 rotated to the first work position 11 upward and clamp the filter membrane between the lower sampling tube 3 and the air inlet seat 111 for sampling; the power mechanism 5 is used to drive the rotation of the turntable 2, the up and down movement of the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3.

[0037] The filter membrane is placed in the bearing hole 21 of the turntable 2 at the third station 13. Under the rotation of the turntable 2, the filter membrane passes through the first station 11 and the second station 12 in sequence. When at the first station 11, the filter membrane is clamped between the lower sampling tube 3 and the air inlet seat 111 under the action of the lower sampling tube 3, and the sampling of the filter membrane is achieved by the flow of breath between the air inlet seat 111 and the lower sampling tube 3. After sampling, the sampled filter membrane enters the second station 12 under the action of the turntable 2. At the second station 12, the filter membrane is moved upward into the filter membrane bin by the action of the filter membrane push rod 4. The filter membrane bin is configured as a filter membrane bin with a one-way valve. The filter membrane can only enter the filter membrane bin upward and cannot leave the filter membrane bin downward, thereby realizing the collection of the sampled filter membrane. Afterwards, the vacant bearing hole 21 is rotated to the third station 13 again to place a new filter membrane to be sampled.

[0038] Specifically, the power mechanism 5 includes a power shaft 51, an output shaft 52, a groove wheel 521 and a dial 511. The power shaft 51 is vertically arranged; the output shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 2 and is coaxial with the turntable 2; the groove wheel 521 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 52, and three grooves are arranged outside the groove wheel 521; the dial 511 is fixedly connected to the outside of the power shaft 51, and a lever 512 is arranged on the dial 511 that can be inserted into the groove of the groove wheel 521 to drive the groove wheel 521 to rotate. Through the arrangement of the groove wheel 521 and the lever 512, when the power shaft 51 rotates, each rotation will cause the output shaft 52 to rotate by one third of a circle through the lever 512, that is, the bearing hole 21 on the turntable 2 is driven to rotate from one station to the next station.

[0039] Specifically, the top of the filter membrane push rod 4 is fixedly connected to a funnel-shaped push plate 41 located at the bottom of the turntable 2, and the push plate 41 can push the turntable 2 upward to rotate until the filter membrane in the bearing hole 21 at the second station 12 enters the filter membrane bin above the second station 12.

[0040] Specifically, the top of the lower sampling tube 3 is fixedly connected to a sampling disk 31 in a funnel shape located at the bottom of the turntable 2. The sampling disk 31 is connected to the sampling tube. The sampling disk 31 can push the filter membrane in the bearing hole 21 rotated to the first station 11 upward and clamp the filter membrane between the lower sampling tube 3 and the air inlet seat 111.

[0041] Specifically, the power mechanism 5 further includes a connecting rod 53, a cam 57, and a bevel gear 56. The connecting rod 53 is connected to the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to drive the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to move up and down. The cam 57 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting rod 53. Under the action of the cam 57, the connecting rod 53 periodically drives the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to move up and down. When the cam 57 rotates one week, the small diameter of the cam 57 contacts the connecting rod 53 for two-thirds of the time, and the large diameter of the cam 57 contacts the connecting rod 53 for one-third of the time. Two bevel gears 56 are provided. The two bevel gears 56 are respectively connected to the cam 57 and the power shaft 51 and the two bevel gears 56 mesh with each other.

[0042] Through the arrangement of the cam 57 and the connecting rod 53, the rotation of the cam 57 can periodically push the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to move upward.

[0043] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a bottom plate 6. The bottom plate 6 is disposed below the fixing plate 1. Two connecting rods 61 for connecting the bottom plate 6 and the fixing plate 1 are provided between the bottom plate 6 and the fixing plate 1. The two connecting rods 61 are respectively disposed at positions close to the filter membrane push rod 4 and close to the lower sampling tube 3. The connecting rod 53 is hinged to the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3. One end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged to the connecting rod 61 close to the lower sampling tube 3, and the other end can move up and down on the connecting rod 61 close to the filter membrane push rod 4.

[0044] A connecting tube 7 is sleeved outside both the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3. The connecting rod 53 is hinged to the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 by hinging with the connecting tube 7. Springs 9 are sleeved outside both the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3. Two ends of the springs 9 respectively abut against the connecting tube 7 and the fixing plate 1 to push the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to move downward after the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 move upward.

[0045] Specifically, the power mechanism 5 further includes a motor, an output gear 54, and a reduction gear 55. The motor is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 6. The output gear 54 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 52 of the motor. The reduction gear 55 is fixedly connected to the power shaft 51 and meshes with the output gear 54.

[0046] A photoelectric sensor 8 connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 1 is disposed on one side of the power shaft 51. The photoelectric sensor 8 includes a light emitting end and a receiving end arranged in the vertical direction. A light shielding sheet 81 is fixedly connected to one side of the power shaft 51. When the lower sampling tube 3 pushes the filter membrane upward and clamps the filter membrane between the air inlet seat 111 and the lower sampling tube 3, the light shielding sheet 81 rotates to the light emitting end and the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 8.

[0047] When the device is in use, in the first stage, at the first station 11, there is a sampled filter membrane, the bearing hole 21 at the second station 12 is empty, and a new filter membrane to be sampled is placed at the third station 13. At this time, the lever 512 is about to rotate into the groove of the sprocket 521; in the second stage, the lever 512 rotates into the groove of the sprocket 521, and the power shaft 51 rotates one-third of a turn, which also drives the output shaft 52 to rotate one-third of a turn. Under the action of the turntable 2, the sampled filter membrane enters the second station 12, the new filter membrane to be sampled enters the first station 11, the sampled filter membrane enters the second station 12, and the controlled bearing hole 21 enters the third station 13. In the second stage, the cam 57 is always in contact with the connecting rod 53 at the small diameter, and the connecting rod 53 remains unchanged; then it enters the third stage. In the third stage, the power shaft 51 continues to rotate two-thirds of a turn. During these two-thirds of a turn, since the lever 512 disengages from the groove of the sprocket 521, the output shaft 52 stops rotating, while the cam 57 gradually changes from the small diameter to the large diameter and contacts the connecting rod 53 and then changes back to the small diameter and contacts the connecting rod 53 during these two-thirds of a turn. During this process, the connecting rod 53 moves upward under the action of the cam 57, thereby driving the filter membrane push rod 4 and the lower sampling tube 3 to move upward; when the longest diameter of the cam 57 contacts the bottom of the connecting rod 53, the filter membrane push rod 4 pushes the sampled filter membrane at the second station 12 into the filter membrane bin for storage, and the lower sampling tube 3 presses the filter membrane to be sampled at the first station 11 against the bottom of the air inlet seat 111. At this time, the light shielding piece 81 rotates between the light emitting end and the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 8, and the receiving end does not receive the light signal. At this time, the sampler is controlled to start working, and the gas in the air inlet seat 111 passes through the filter membrane to be sampled and enters the lower sampling tube 3 to realize the sampling of the filter membrane to be sampled. Then the cam 57 continues to rotate, and the connecting rod 53 descends to the initial height under the action of the spring 9. At this time, there is a sampled filter membrane at the first station 11, the bearing hole 21 at the second station 12 is empty, and a new filter membrane to be sampled is placed at the third station 13. Then the above process is repeated to realize cyclic sampling.

[0048] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
