Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a portable gas monitor is provided, including an instrument body 1 and an air intake structure located at the air inlet 2 of the instrument body 1. If necessary, the instrument body 1 adopts the instrument body 1 of the prior art HYS1000 gas detector, whose detection principle is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The air intake structure includes a mounting box 3, a rotating shaft 6, an air intake hose 8, and a locking member 9: the mounting box 3 is fixed to the instrument body 1, and the mounting box 3 is provided with an inlet / outlet 4 and a mounting hole 5; the rotating shaft 6 is a hollow structure, the lower end of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to and communicates with the air inlet 2, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 6 extends from the mounting hole 5 into the mounting box 3 and is elastically connected to the mounting box 3 through a spring 7; one end of the air intake hose 8 is connected to and communicates with the rotating shaft 6, and the other end extends out from the inlet / outlet 4; the locking member 9 is used to selectively fix the rotating shaft 6 to the mounting box 3 to restrict or allow the rotating shaft 6 to rotate relative to the mounting box 3.

[0028] The portable gas monitor with the above structure allows the user to pull out the inlet hose 8 from the mounting box 3 before testing, as needed. During this process, the rotating shaft 6 rotates, the spring 7 deforms and stores force, and the hose 8 is locked in place by the locking element 9 when it reaches the desired length. During testing, the inlet hose 8 is placed at the desired testing position, and gas is drawn into the instrument body 1 through the hose for analysis. After testing, the locking element 9 is operated to release the hose 8, allowing it to retract into the mounting box 3 under the restoring force of the spring 7. Therefore, this portable gas monitor allows the inlet hose 8 to be rolled up and stored when not in use, minimizing space usage and making storage convenient and less prone to loss.

[0029] In this exemplary embodiment, the mounting box 3 has a first cavity 10 and a second cavity 11 that are vertically connected. The inlet and outlet 4 are connected to the first cavity 10. The spring 7 is detachably disposed in the second cavity 11, and a cover plate 12 is detachably mounted on the top of the second cavity 11. By placing the spring 7 in the independent second cavity 11, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the spring 7 in subsequent use.

[0030] In order to make the spring 7 detachable, in this exemplary embodiment, the upper end of the rotating shaft 6 is provided with a first latch 13, and the inner wall of the second cavity 11 is provided with a second latch 14. The two ends of the spring 7 are respectively latched into the first latch 13 and the second latch 14.

[0031] To enable the cover plate 12 to be detachable, in this exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 12 is detachably connected to the top of the second cavity 11 by means of a threaded connection. Of course, the cover plate 12 can also be connected to the top of the second cavity 11 by means of a snap-fit ​​or bolt connection.

[0032] In this exemplary embodiment, the locking member 9 is a hand-tightening screw, which is threaded onto the cover plate 12 and positioned opposite the upper end face of the rotating shaft 6. Of course, as long as the rotating shaft 6 can be selectively fixed to the mounting box 3 to restrict or allow rotation of the rotating shaft 6 relative to the mounting box 3, there are no particular limitations on the specific structural form of the locking member 9.

[0033] In this exemplary embodiment, a filter nozzle 15 is connected to one end of the air intake hose 8 located outside the mounting box 3. The size of the filter nozzle 15 is larger than the size of the inlet and outlet 4. The filter nozzle 15 can be used to filter the gas entering the air intake hose 8, preventing impurities from entering the instrument body 1. In addition, by using a filter nozzle 15 that is larger than the size of the inlet and outlet 4, it is possible to prevent the air intake hose 8 from being completely retracted into the mounting box 3.

[0034] In this exemplary embodiment, two rollers 16 are rotatably arranged at the inlet / outlet 4, and the air intake hose 8 passes between the two rollers 16. The diameter of the rollers 16 gradually increases from the middle to both ends. When the air intake hose 8 moves at the inlet / outlet 4, the rollers 16 can roll and contact the air intake hose 8, thereby reducing the wear of the air intake hose 8 by the mounting box 3.

[0035] To achieve a rotatable connection and communication between the lower end of the rotating shaft 6 and the air inlet 2, in this exemplary embodiment, a connecting seat 17 is fixedly provided at the air inlet 2 of the instrument body 1. A connecting groove 18 is formed recessed within the inner wall of the connecting seat 17. An annular connecting flange 19 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 6. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 17 through the rotatable engagement of the connecting flange 19 and the connecting groove 18. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 6 can also be rotatably connected and communicated with the air inlet 2 using a rotary joint.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
