Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas monitoring, in particular to a remote real-time monitoring safety sphere for air components and concentrations. Background Technique
[0002] With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, gas leakage and pollution incidents occur frequently, causing heavy losses to people's lives and property and economic construction. Therefore, real-time gas monitoring is an essential safety measure in industrial production and municipal engineering.
[0003] In limited underground spaces, such as underground pipelines, biogas digesters, cellars, power wells, basements, sewage wells, gas wells, septic tanks, sewage ponds, air-raid shelters, caves, tunnels, mines, etc.; in limited above-ground spaces, such as granaries, garbage stations, storage rooms, cold storages, fermentation tanks, distiller's grains tanks, silos, etc.; in sealed equipment, such as ship cabins, pressure vessels, flue ducts, pipelines, reaction towers, etc. These spaces are narrow, poorly ventilated, and not conducive to gas diffusion, easily causing the accumulation of toxic and harmful gases. If entering the operation without detection, or sudden gas leakage occurs during the operation, or even new toxic and harmful gases are generated by chemical reactions, it often happens in an instant. Workers inhale toxic and harmful gases unconsciously and will be poisoned, suffocated, shocked, etc., losing consciousness and the ability to act. Major safety accidents that can cause death within minutes or even seconds after poisoning will occur.
[0004] Existing gas monitoring devices mainly include two types: fixed installation and handheld portable. Fixed monitoring devices are usually installed in fixed positions, such as on the walls or roofs of places like workshops, warehouses, and ship cabins. Although they can continuously monitor the gas concentration in a specific area, the gas components and concentrations in various areas or levels within the space may suddenly change, and during the operation process, workers move at irregular times and positions, so it is impossible to continuously monitor the changes in the gas components and concentrations around the workers in real time, which has great limitations.
[0005] Handheld portable monitoring devices overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of fixed devices and have the advantage of strong portability. However, their detection range is usually limited to the vicinity of the detector and cannot effectively detect remote or inaccessible areas. In particular, it is impossible to effectively pre-monitor the air in a small unknown space to be visited in the future to find out if it is safe, which poses a safety hazard to the detector. This is the disadvantage and deficiency of handheld portable monitoring devices. In addition, existing devices often can only detect a single or a few kinds of gases and cannot meet the multi-gas monitoring requirements in complex environments.
[0006] Among the existing detection devices, fixed devices have limitations in the monitoring space, handheld portable devices pose potential safety hazards to the detectors, and they often can only detect a single or a few types of gases, making it difficult to provide comprehensive real-time monitoring feedback for multiple gas components in complex environments. Summary of the Invention
