TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas detection, especially to an intrinsically safe pan-tilt scanning laser gas remote measuring device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, city gas and national pipe network have widely applied explosion-proof pan-tilt scanning laser gas remote meter. However, these devices have some defects that cannot be ignored. First, the weight is large, the installation and maintenance process is very cumbersome, and the product life is severely limited, which brings additional burden to the long-term operation and maintenance of customers. Secondly, the explosion-proof pan-tilt scanning laser gas remote meter lacks laser ranging function, so it cannot accurately locate the leakage point. Therefore, it is urgent to design a light and explosion-proof environment application of intrinsically safe pan-tilt, which is an important technical problem that the current explosion-proof pan-tilt device cannot solve.
[0003] Application No. 202011056360.5 discloses an intrinsically safe scanning optical hydrogen leakage monitoring method, belonging to the technical field of high-pressure hydrogen monitoring. First, a laser source emits light and forms parallel light, and the parallel light irradiates the surface of the hydrogen storage tank. When high-pressure hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank leaks, the light forms a 132° fan-shaped emission area, which is photographed by a CCD camera and the image of the fan-shaped emission area is recorded. The recorded image is digitally processed, and the position and size of the leakage port are determined according to the processed image. When high-pressure hydrogen does not leak, the parallel light will directly pass through the surface of the measured object, and there is no fan-shaped emission area in the picture taken by the CCD camera. The above monitoring method is simple and convenient, and overcomes the lack of specificity of general sensors. The whole detection method is more secure. However, the above patent does not propose a specific implementation method to realize intrinsic safety, and the optical hydrogen leakage monitoring mentioned in the patent uses the physical phenomenon of refraction and reflectivity of light in different media, which is a known content.
