Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas sensor calibration, in particular to a gas sensor calibration console. Background Art
[0002] A gas sensor is a transducer that converts the volume fraction of a gas into a corresponding electrical signal. The detector head conditions the gas sample through the gas sensor, typically filtering out impurities and interfering gases, and drying or refrigerating the instrument display. Gas sensors are widely used in various fields, including industrial, civil, and environmental monitoring, playing a vital role in protecting the environment, ensuring safety, and improving quality of life.
[0003] Traditionally, the testing, aging, calibration, and inspection of gas sensors require constant switching of standard gases of varying concentrations, while also adjusting the gas sample flow rate according to design requirements. With a wide variety of gas sensors in production, manually switching and adjusting the different types and concentrations of standard gases becomes inefficient and cumbersome. Furthermore, some flammable, explosive, and toxic gases pose a safety and health risk to operators. A gas leak can directly harm operators.
[0004] Therefore, how to protect operators and reduce the risk of gas leakage during gas sensor calibration testing is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions:
[0006] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the utility model provides a gas sensor calibration console, comprising: a main control board arranged in the console, an environmental gas monitoring sensor and an audible and visual alarm electrically connected to the main control board, the environmental gas monitoring sensor and the audible and visual alarm, the environmental gas monitoring sensor is arranged in the working area of the console, and the audible and visual alarm is fixedly arranged on the workbench; a gas interface and a gas outlet are provided on the console, and a control valve, a flow controller and a flow meter are sequentially arranged between the gas interface and the gas outlet, and the flow controller is electrically connected to the main control board.
[0007] In one possible implementation, multiple groups of gas interfaces and gas outlets are provided, with the multiple groups of gas interfaces being provided on a first side of the console, and the gas outlets being provided on a second side of the console. The gas interfaces and gas outlets are interconnected via a gas pipe, and the control valve, flow controller, and flow meter are all connected and disposed on the gas pipe. The provision of multiple groups of gas interfaces and gas outlets allows for switching and adjusting the standard gas samples required for gas sensor testing, aging, calibration, and inspection, meeting the gas supply requirements for the simultaneous production of standard gases for multiple different types of gas sensors, thereby improving the efficiency of gas sensor production.
[0008] In one possible implementation, a pressure gauge is provided between the control valve and the flow controller, and is connected to the gas pipe. The pressure gauge can monitor the gas pressure in real time to ensure sufficient gas during calibration testing, preventing insufficient gas from affecting the calibration test.
[0009] In one possible implementation, an exhaust vent is provided on the top of the console, and a ventilation grille is provided on one side of the console corresponding to the exhaust vent. If gas leaks from the console during calibration, it will remain in the console if not exhausted. The exhaust vent and the ventilation grille create convection, and air is blown toward the ventilation grille through the ventilation device, forcing the gas in the console out through the exhaust vent.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the control terminal of the control valve and the display terminal of the flow meter are disposed on the table of the control console. During calibration testing, the operator can select the test gas through the control terminal, and the display terminal of the flow meter can conveniently check whether the test gas flow meets the requirements.
[0011] In one possible implementation, a touch screen is provided on the console surface and is electrically connected to the main control board. The touch screen can be used to select settings for gas flow and concentration during gas calibration, and the flow controller controls the passing gas based on the set gas flow and concentration.
[0012] In a possible implementation, a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal are provided in the console, the first connection terminal is electrically connected to the main control board and the socket respectively, and the second connection terminal is electrically connected to the main control board and the sound and light alarm respectively.
[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, when calibrating a gas sensor, the ambient gas monitoring sensor can detect gas. If there is no gas leak, gas can be connected to the control console through the gas interface. The gas flow is then controlled using a control valve, flow controller, and flow meter. The gas outlet is then connected to the gas sensor for calibration. During the calibration process, both the ambient gas monitoring sensor and the audible and visual alarm can detect and warn of gas leaks, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator during gas sensor calibration testing.
