[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. The utility model can realize the operation of the heating element by cooperating with the power supply and designing that the bottom part of the heating element passes through the fixed shell. Combined with the heat insulation design of the fixed shell, the high temperature of its heat source will not affect the detection part, so that it can heat the peripheral area, and the heat can assist in drying the surrounding area, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the temperature and drying the air, and solving the problem that the semiconductor gas alarm is easily affected by the external environment.

Therefore, during the process of thermal expansion, the airbag will press the electromagnetic plate downward, drive the extension rod to descend, and cooperate with the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic plate to fix the electromagnetic plate to the metal layer. This process will stretch the spring to store force. When the spring force reaches the limit, the heating element is first turned off, the airbag retracts, and then the electromagnet stops running. The rapid recovery of the spring drives the eddy current fan blades to rotate, which can draw the surrounding air into the detection part, further improving the detection effect, and further reusing the heat energy to avoid heat energy waste while improving the detection effect.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model relates to a portable gas leak detection instrument, including a semiconductor leak detector 1, a fixing clamp 13 is provided on the back side of the semiconductor leak detector 1, and the fixing clamp 13 is adjustable so that it can be constrained and fixed to different pipes. A detection part 2 is provided at the bottom of the semiconductor leak detector 1, and a shell 3 is installed at the bottom of the detection part 2. The top of the shell 3 is threadedly fixed to the detection part 2, and the upper half of the shell 3 is a flared structure from top to bottom. The flared structure is provided with multiple air ports, which serve as air outlets. A fixed shell 4 is provided inside the shell 3, and the fixed shell 4 is made of a heat-insulating material. The heat-insulating material can be selected as fiberglass. A first connecting rod 9 is installed between the fixed shell 4 and the shell 3. A heating element 6 is provided in the center of the fixed shell 4. The heating element 6 is selected according to the situation. This design adopts a heating rod. The bottom end of the heating element 6 passes through the fixed shell 4. A power supply 10 is provided on the outside of the heating element 6. The power supply 10 can be a lithium battery or a button battery, etc., for easy replacement.

[0023] The working principle is to control the intermittent opening and closing of the heating element 6 through an external control structure. Through intermittent opening and closing, it can avoid long-term high temperature damage to surrounding components, and also save electricity resources. The operation of the heating element 6 can heat the peripheral area, increase the temperature, and avoid the low temperature affecting the accuracy of the detection. At the same time, the heat generated can also dry the surrounding air, and the heat-insulating material of the fixed shell 4 keeps the heating element 6 away from the detection part 2 to avoid being too close to the high temperature and affecting the accuracy of the detection.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to cooperate with the intermittent operation mechanism and further utilize the generated heat source, an airbag 5 filled with heated and expanded gas is provided on the inner periphery of the fixed shell 4. The airbag 5 is bonded and fixed at multiple points to constrain the general position of the outer periphery of the airbag 5. The heated and expanded gas is preferably helium, which has a high thermal expansion coefficient and a stable atomic structure without the risk of combustion or explosion. In order to protect the airbag 5, a protective cover 11 is installed on part of the outer periphery of the heating element 6. The protective cover 11 is made of heat-insulating material. Eddy current blades 7 are provided at the bottom of the fixed shell 4, and a power storage structure 8 is provided between the eddy current blades 7 and the fixed shell 4.

[0025] The power storage structure 8 includes an electromagnetic plate 801 arranged at the bottom of the airbag 5. The electromagnetic plate 801 moves up and down on the inner periphery of the fixed shell 4. The electromagnetic plate 801 is made of magnetic material. A metal layer 802 is provided below the electromagnetic plate 801 and fixed to the bottom of the fixed shell 4. The bottom of the electromagnetic plate 801 is connected to a plurality of extension rods 803 that pass through the fixed shell 4. The bottom of the extension rod 803 is connected to a lifting ring 804. The bottom of the lifting ring 804 is provided with a shaft sleeve 805. A second connecting rod 12 is installed between the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 805 and the inner wall of the shell 3. The lifting ring 804 is an annular structure. A cylindrical cam 806 is provided in the center of the lifting ring 804. A protrusion fixed to the inner ring of the sleeve 805 is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical cam 806, and the protrusion is connected to the vortex fan blade 7. The top of the cylindrical cam 806 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the heating element 6. A limiting ball 807 is provided on the inner wall of the lifting ring 804, and a curved groove is provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical cam 806. The curved groove fits snugly with the limiting ball 807. A spring 808 is provided in the central area of ​​the lifting ring 804. The two ends of the spring 808 are respectively connected to the lifting ring 804 and the bottom of the fixed shell 4. In the normal state when the spring 808 is not under force, the electromagnetic plate 801 can be separated from the metal layer 802 and suspended in the lower layer of the fixed shell 4.

[0026] Working principle: when the heating element 6 is in operation, it will heat the gas inside the airbag 5, causing it to expand due to the heat. During the expansion process, the airbag 5 will press the electromagnetic plate 801 downward, driving the extension rod 803 to descend, and cooperating with the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic plate 801 (this is the start-up state, and the opening and closing are controlled by the control structure), so that the electromagnetic plate 801 can be attracted and fixed to the metal layer 802. This process will stretch the spring 808 to achieve force storage. When the spring 808 reaches the force storage limit, the heating element 6 is first turned off. The heat is affected by the cold environment and the temperature drops rapidly. The airbag 5 retracts, and then the start of the electromagnetic plate 801 is stopped. The rapid recovery of the spring 808 drives the lifting ring 804 to rise, causing the limit ball 807 to rise, causing the cylindrical cam 806 to rotate, and further driving the eddy current fan blades 7 to rotate, which can draw the surrounding air into the detection part 2. This reciprocating process can ensure that the humidity and temperature of the detected air are in good condition during intermittent operation, further improving the detection effect.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the heating element 6 can be selected as heating equipment with different heating speeds and maximum heating temperatures, as well as gases with different temperatures and degrees of thermal expansion, to achieve adaptation to the ambient temperature and humidity in different local areas, and has applicability.

[0028] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
