[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a miniaturized semiconductor laser gas sensor, comprising:

[0029] Optical chip 1, all-optical chip 2, temperature sensor 3, thermal resistor 4, substrate 5 and socket 6;

[0030] The substrate 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the tube base 6. The optical chip 1, the plenoptical chip 2, the temperature sensor 3, and the thermistor 4 are fixed to the upper surface of the substrate 5. The plenoptical chip 2 and the optical chip 1 are located in the middle of the substrate 5. The thermistor 4 is located on one side of the substrate 5, and the temperature sensor 3 is located on the other side of the substrate 5. A fourth connection terminal 64 and a fifth connection terminal 65 are fixed inside one side of the tube base 6, and a third connection terminal 63 is fixed inside the other side of the tube base 6.

[0031] The positive electrode of the thermistor 4 is connected to the fifth connection terminal 65, and the positive and negative electrodes of the temperature sensor 3 are connected to the third connection terminal 63 and the fourth connection terminal 64. The first connection terminal 61 and the second connection terminal 62 are fixed inside the other side of the pipe socket 6;

[0032] The positive electrode of the optical chip 1 is connected to the first connection end 61, and the negative electrode of the optical chip 1 is connected to the second connection end 62. A cap 7 is fixed to the outer surface of the pipe socket 6, and a circuit board 8 is fixed to the outer surface of the cap 7;

[0033] When selecting the optical chip 1, an optical chip 1 with a suitable wavelength can be selected according to the different gases to be detected. The optical chip 1 is connected to the first connection end 61 and the second connection end 62 of the tube holder 6 by gold wire bonding. The thermistor 4 is bonded to the temperature sensor 3 by gold wire bonding. This allows the product to maintain a stable temperature inside the device under different external working environments, ensuring stable light output (wavelength and optical power) of the laser and achieving low power consumption and reducing the cost of the product. The tube cap 7 is an optical tube cap that serves to output light.

[0034] When the device is in use, the plenoptical sheet 2 fully reflects the light emitted by the optical chip 1 along the optical path, and the substrate 5 and the tube holder 6 connect and transmit the signal. The working principle of the product is to energize the positive and negative poles of the optical chip 1 through an external circuit, causing the chip to emit light and sense the temperature of the chip through the thermistor 4. The temperature sensor 3 is used to maintain the set temperature inside the device (to ensure that the wavelength of the emitted light is the required wavelength). The light then passes through the plenoptical sheet 2 and is emitted through the tube cap 7 along the designed optical path.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1, and further includes a connecting buckle 9 fixed on the outer surface of the tube base 6, a connecting column 10 movably connected inside the connecting buckle 9, a connecting plate 11 fixed on the outer surface of the connecting column 10, a protective frame 12 fixed on the outer surface of the connecting plate 11, and a circuit board 8 located inside the protective frame 12;

[0036] The connecting buckle 9 is used to connect the column 10 to move inside it, and the connecting plate 11 is used to receive and install the connecting column 10, and then receive and install the protection frame 12, which is used to protect the circuit board 8;

[0037] A support frame 13 is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting buckle 9, and a limit column 14 is movably connected to the interior of the connecting column 10. A spring 15 is fixed to the limit column 14 and the interior of the support frame 13. A guide column 16 is fixed to the outer surface of the limit column 14, and the guide column 16 is movably connected to the interior of the support frame 13:

[0038] The support frame 13 is used to receive and install the spring 15. The limiting column 14 is used to limit the connecting column 10 inside the connecting buckle 9. The guide column 16 facilitates the application of pulling force to the limiting column 14. The spring 15 is used to change the position of the limiting column 14.

[0039] When the gas sensor needs to be moved to the desired location, first stick the connecting buckle 9 to the outer surface of the tube seat 6, place the protective frame 12 on the outside of the circuit board 8, apply a pushing force to the connecting post 10, insert the connecting post 10 into the connecting buckle 9, then apply a pulling force to the guide post 16 to compress the spring 15, and then apply a pushing force to the connecting post 10 to make the protective frame 12 fit the surface of one side of the circuit board 8. Then, remove the force applied to the guide post 16, and the limit post 14 rebounds to the inside of the connecting post 10.

[0040] This step can effectively protect the circuit board 8 when transporting the device without affecting the subsequent normal use of the device.
