[0031] The utility model will be described in more detail below based on the embodiments and with reference to the drawings.
[0032] Reference signs: Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of laser oxygen analyzer, comprising: emitting end 1, measuring part 3, heating part 4 and receiving end 2.Thereinto, emitting end 1 is used to emit laser source;Measuring part 3 includes sequentially connected air inlet section 31, absorption section 32 and air outlet section 33, the diameter of air inlet section 31, absorption section 32 and air outlet section 33 gradually increases, and the air inlet section 31 of measuring part 3 is connected with emitting end 1;Heating part 4 is connected with measuring part 3, for heating measuring part 3;Receiving end 2 is connected with the air outlet section 33 of measuring part 3.
[0033] The laser oxygen analyzer provided by the utility model, based on the measurement part 3 including the air inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 and the measurement section connected in turn, the diameter of the air inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 and the measurement section increases in turn, when the gas to be detected enters the absorption section 32 from the air inlet section 31, the absorption range of the visible light of the gas to be detected is increased due to the increase of the diameter, the precision of detection is improved, the utility model can detect the gas to be detected containing sulfur, when the temperature is reduced, the measurement part 3 is heated through the heating part 4, so that the gas sulfur is not solidified and condensed in the inner wall of the measurement part 3 when the temperature is low, and the measurement result is further affected, in other words, the measurement part 3 is heated through the heating part 4 in the utility model embodiment, the gas to be detected containing sulfur will not be solidified, and the accuracy of the detection result is further improved.
[0034] The working principle of the laser oxygen analyzer is mainly to measure the oxygen concentration by using the principle that laser energy is absorbed by gas molecules to form an absorption spectrum. Specifically, when the laser controller emits a laser beam of a specific wavelength through the gas to be detected, the oxygen will absorb the laser energy, causing the laser intensity to attenuate. This attenuation is proportional to the oxygen content in the measured gas, so by measuring the attenuation information of the laser intensity, the oxygen concentration of the gas can be analyzed.
[0035] However, when measuring the oxygen content in the tail gas of a sulfur recovery device, a small amount of liquid sulfur will be entrained in the gas to be detected. When the temperature is reduced to below 121 DEG C, the liquid sulfur will be converted into a solid state and attached to the air inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 or the air outlet section 33 of the measurement part 3, resulting in inaccurate measurement of the oxygen content. Therefore, the operating personnel need to go to the scene to remove the solid sulfur to calibrate the instrument parameters, which greatly increases the labor cost. At the same time, harmful gas may escape during the calibration process, which increases the safety risk of personnel operation.
[0036] Therefore, in the utility model embodiment, the heating part 4 is arranged, and when the temperature in the measurement part 3 is lower than the preset temperature, for example, below 121 DEG C, the air inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 or the air outlet section 33 of the measurement part 3 is heated through the heating part 4, so that the liquid sulfur is not solidified and condensed on the inner wall of the air inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 or the air outlet section 33.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the heating part 4 includes at least two groups of heating bands; one group of heating bands is wound on the measurement part 3 along a first direction, and the other group of heating bands is wound on the measurement part 3 along a second direction; the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
[0038] By arranging two groups of heating bands, if one group of heating bands fails or has a problem, the other group of heating bands can still work normally. In addition, by arranging two groups of heating bands to be wound in different directions, heat loss can be reduced, and the measurement part 3 can be heated from two directions at the same time.
[0039] In an alternative embodiment, the gap between the two adjacent heating bands wound on the absorption section 32 is greater than the gap between the two adjacent heating bands wound on the gas inlet section 31 and the gas outlet section 33.
[0040] It can be understood that the temperature of the to-be-detected gas entering the gas inlet section 31 is also relatively high, and therefore the gap between the two adjacent heating bands can be set to be relatively large, that is, the winding gap of the heating bands on the gas inlet section 31 is relatively large, which reduces the measurement cost when heating the gas inlet section 31.
[0041] However, the to-be-detected gas may be cooled due to the flow of the gas after entering the absorption section 32, and therefore the gap between the two adjacent heating bands wound on the absorption section 32 can be set to be relatively small, that is, the number of turns of the heating bands wound on the absorption section 32 is relatively large, which can quickly heat the absorption section 32 when monitoring the temperature drop of the absorption section 32, thereby improving the detection efficiency and improving the detection accuracy.
[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the heating part 4 further comprises a temperature sensor and a temperature controller, the temperature sensor is arranged on the absorption section 32, and the temperature controller is electrically connected with the temperature sensor and the heating bands.
[0043] The temperature of the measurement part 3 can be obtained in real time through the temperature sensor, and it can also be understood that when the temperature of the absorption section 32 is less than a preset temperature, the heating part 4 can be started through the temperature controller to heat.
[0044] In an alternative embodiment, the outer wall of the gas inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 and the gas outlet section 33 of the measurement part 3 is provided with at least two groups of heating grooves, and the heating part 4 is connected with the measurement part 3 through the heating grooves.
[0045] By arranging the heating grooves, the heating bands can be placed in the heating grooves to prevent the heating bands from loosening or falling off. The heating grooves are arranged along the circumference of the outer wall of the gas inlet section 31, the absorption section 32 and the gas outlet section 33 to facilitate winding of the heating bands.
[0046] In an alternative embodiment, the diameter of the gas inlet section 31 increases along the direction from the emission end 1 to the receiving end 2, the diameter of the gas outlet section 33 increases along the direction from the emission end 1 to the receiving end 2, and the diameter of the absorption section 32 is constant.
[0047] By arranging the diameter of the gas inlet section 31 to increase along the direction from the emission end 1 to the receiving end 2, the absorption of light by the to-be-detected gas can be improved, and the influence of other components on the flow of the gas can be avoided, thereby affecting the absorption of light.
[0048] The diameter of the absorption section 32 is constant, but the diameter of the absorption section 32 is overall larger than the diameter of the gas inlet section 31, so that the absorption of light by the gas to be detected can be ensured while reducing the loss of the temperature of the gas to be detected in the absorption section 32.
[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 are further included; the first flange 5 and the second flange 6 have bolt holes; the emission end 1 is connected with the gas inlet section 31 through the bolt holes on the first flange 5, and the receiving end 2 is connected with the gas outlet section 33 through the bolt holes on the second flange 6.
[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the first sealing member and the second sealing member are further included; the first sealing member is arranged between the emission end 1 and the gas inlet section 31, and the second sealing member is arranged between the receiving end 2 and the gas outlet section 33.
[0051] Exemplarily, the first sealing member and the second sealing member can be O-shaped sealing rings, and the first sealing member and the second sealing member can prevent the leakage of the gas to be detected and improve the detection accuracy.
[0052] In an alternative embodiment, the laser controller 8 is further included; the first end of the laser controller 8 is connected with the emission end 1 through a cable, and the second end of the laser controller 8 is connected with the receiving end 2 through a cable.
[0053] In an alternative embodiment, the gas inlet section 31 is provided with a gas inlet, and the gas inlet is used to be connected with a gas source to be detected.
[0054] Further, the gas inlet is provided with a gas inlet pipe 7, and the gas inlet pipe 7 is used to be connected with the gas source to be detected.
