[0032] Some common gas sensors, such as combustible gas sensors, including hydrogen sensors and carbon monoxide sensors, are subjected to special operating conditions during operation. For example, if the gas sensor is installed in a coastal area or other areas with acid rain, it will be corroded during use. When testing the gas sensor, it is difficult to detect the impact of corrosion and to determine the accuracy of the gas sensor's detection when it is corroded.

[0033] This invention proposes a corrosion resistance testing device for gas sensors.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the gas sensor corrosion resistance testing device includes the test chamber 1, the mounting component 2, the nozzle 3, and the water supply assembly 4. The test chamber 1 is used to contain the gas to be tested; the mounting component 2 is disposed inside the test chamber 1 and is used to install the gas sensor to be tested; the nozzle 3 is disposed inside the test chamber 1 and is used to spray corrosive liquid onto the gas sensor to be tested; the water supply assembly 4 is connected to the water inlet of the nozzle 3 and is used to supply corrosive liquid to the nozzle 3.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model uses a test chamber 1 to maintain a stable concentration of the gas to be tested in the gas sensor; then, the nozzle 3 is activated to spray a corrosive liquid onto the gas sensor. By changing the position and time of contact between the gas sensor and the corrosive liquid, the corrosion state of the gas sensor can be changed, thereby detecting the change in the reading of the gas sensor during corrosion. Overall, this improves the problem of difficulty in detecting the impact of corrosion on the operation of the gas sensor.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the gas sensor to be measured is a hydrogen sensor, and the gas to be measured is a mixture containing a certain concentration of hydrogen.

[0037] The test chamber 1 can be any sealed container, and it can be equipped with a transparent observation window. Furthermore, the test chamber 1 can be a transparent container to facilitate observation of the corrosion of the gas sensor by the corrosive liquid. The corrosive liquid can be an acidic liquid.

[0038] The mounting component 2 is preferably a clamping component, which fixes the gas sensor to be tested by clamping and fixing, making it easy to fix and install hydrogen sensors of various sizes.

[0039] The position of at least one of the mounting component 2 and the nozzle 3 is adjustable to change the corrosion location of the corrosive liquid on the gas sensor under test. By adjusting the position of one or more of the mounting component 2 and the nozzle 3, the position where the gas sensor under test contacts the corrosive liquid can be changed, thereby changing the corrosion area of ​​the gas sensor under test.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this application, the nozzle 3 is disposed on the upper side of the mounting member 2, and the nozzle 3 is used to spray water downward. The mounting member 2 is disposed on the lower side of the nozzle 3, and the mounting member 2 is rotatably disposed along a horizontal rotation axis. By rotating the mounting member 2, the gas sensor to be tested can be rotated, thereby changing the position of the corrosive liquid sprayed on the gas sensor to be tested.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the test chamber 1 is provided with a rotating component 11, the rotating component 11 having a rotating rod that rotates about a first horizontal axis, and the mounting component 2 being fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

The water storage tank 41 is used to store corrosive liquid; one end of the water supply pipe 42 is connected to the water inlet of the nozzle 3, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank 41.

[0045] The corrosive liquid in the water tank 41 can be delivered to the nozzle 3 through the water supply pipe 42, ensuring that the corrosive liquid sprays onto the gas sensor under test.

[0046] Please see Figure 1A water supply valve 421 is provided on the water supply pipe 42. By controlling the opening and closing of the water supply valve 421, the flow of the water supply pipe 42 can be controlled. The water supply valve 421 can be a solenoid valve.

The water pump 43 is located inside the water storage tank 41; one end of the connecting pipe 44 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 43, and the other end is connected to the water supply pipe 42. Activating the water pump 43 pressurizes the corrosive liquid in the water storage tank 41 and sends it into the connecting pipe 44, and then through the connecting pipe 44 into the water supply pipe 42.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, the water pump 43 is electrically connected to the display control module 5, and the water pump 43 can be controlled to start and stop through the display control module 5.

[0049] The water storage tank 41 is also equipped with a temperature regulating component 411, which is used to regulate the temperature of the corrosive liquid in the water storage tank 41. By means of the temperature regulating component 411, the temperature of the corrosive liquid in the water storage tank 41 can be adjusted, thereby regulating the temperature of the corrosive liquid during the corrosion of the gas sensor under test.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, the temperature regulating element 411 is electrically connected to the display control module 5. By activating the display control module 5, the operation of the temperature regulating element 411 can be controlled. The temperature regulating element 411 is a heating element. By activating the heating element, the corrosive liquid can be heated to regulate its temperature.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 The test chamber 1 is connected to a drain pipe 13, and a drain valve 131 is installed on the drain pipe 13. Specifically, the drain valve 131 is a solenoid valve, and the drain valve 131 is electrically connected to the display control module 5. The display control module 5 controls the opening and closing of the drain valve 131, which controls the drainage of the drain pipe 13, and facilitates the discharge of the corrosive liquid in the test chamber 1 to the outside of the test chamber 1.

[0052] The test chamber 1 is connected to a gas supply assembly 6, which includes a gas supply component 61, a gas supply pipe 62, and a gas supply valve 63.

By opening the gas supply valve 63, the gas supply component 61 can deliver the gas to be tested into the test chamber 1, thereby filling the test chamber 1 with the gas to be tested at the corresponding concentration.

[0053] The air supply valve 63 can be a solenoid valve. The air supply valve 63 is electrically connected to the display control module 5. The display control module 5 controls the opening and closing of the air supply valve 63, which can control the air intake of the test chamber 1.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 The test chamber 1 is connected to an exhaust assembly 7. After the test is completed, the gas to be tested is discharged outside the test chamber 1 through the exhaust assembly 7, which facilitates the next test.

[0055] The exhaust assembly 7 includes an exhaust pipe 71 and an exhaust valve 72. The exhaust pipe 71 is connected to the test chamber 1, and the exhaust valve 72 is located on the exhaust pipe 71.

[0057] To ensure the accuracy of the gas concentration detector 14, the gas concentration detector 14 can be set away from the nozzle 3, or the gas concentration detector 14 can be set on the upper side of the nozzle 3.

[0058] The display control module 5 is electrically connected to the gas concentration detector 14. The concentration of the gas to be tested within the test chamber 1 can be displayed in real time on the display control module 5.
