[0017] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0018] As shown in the drawings, the utility model discloses a fixed gas detector for pipe gallery underground space, including probe and main part. Figure 1 The gas inlet of the probe is provided with an explosion-proof sheet 5 and a waterproof air-permeable film 6, the waterproof air-permeable film 6 is tightly sealed with the gas inlet, water is prevented from entering the inside of the probe or wetting the explosion-proof sheet 5, and the explosion-proof sheet 5 provides support for the waterproof air-permeable film 6 and prevents the deformation of the waterproof air-permeable film 6.

[0019] The explosion-proof sheet 5 is placed at the gas inlet of the probe of the sensor, and the explosion-proof requirement can be met. The explosion-proof sheet 5 has various types such as sintering of metal particles, weaving and punching of a metal mesh or a composite of the two, and gas is diffused to the sensor through the explosion-proof sheet 5 and detected. However, the explosion-proof sheet 5 does not have a waterproof function, when a water flooding accident occurs in the underground space where the device is located, water can enter the inside of the detector through the explosion-proof sheet 5, damage the internal circuit or the sensor, and cause false alarms; if the explosion-proof sheet 5 is only splashed by water, the water can also wet the explosion-proof sheet 5, hinder the diffusion of gas to the sensor; in addition, dust and dirt in the underground space can also adhere to the explosion-proof sheet 5, cause blockage, affect the passage of gas, and cause the detection value to be lower than the actual value.

[0020] A waterproof air-permeable film 6 made of polytetrafluoroethylene is pasted between the explosion-proof sheet 5 and the support shell 4 thereof, the film has hydrophobicity, can effectively prevent water from entering or wetting the explosion-proof sheet 5, realizes waterproof and dustproof at the same time, ensures that gas can smoothly permeate, and does not affect the work of the gas sensor.

[0021] Since the waterproof air-permeable film 6 is relatively thin, the pressure of water can cause the deformation or even damage of the waterproof air-permeable film 6 when the waterproof air-permeable film 6 is in water, the explosion-proof sheet 5 can play a supporting role, resist the pressure of water, ensure that the waterproof air-permeable film 6 does not deform, and thus the performance of the gas alarm is not affected even if the gas alarm is soaked in water for a long time.

[0022] The probe includes an upper probe shell 1 and a lower probe shell 2, the upper probe shell 1 and the lower probe shell 2 are connected through threads two 8, and the connection part is sealed by winding raw tape. The waterproof air-permeable film 6 is located between the explosion-proof sheet 5 and the support shell 4 of the lower probe shell 2, and is a thin film made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0023] The waterproof and breathable membrane 6 has an adhesive ring and is bonded to the recess of the lower probe housing 2. Combined with the compression at the explosion-proof area, this ensures a strong bond and effectively prevents water from seeping in from the edge joints. Simultaneously, the placement of the waterproof and breathable membrane 6 in the recess reduces the risk of damage from impacts. The explosion-proof sheet 5 is tightened and secured by the upper pressure ring 3 through the thread 7 between it and the lower probe housing 2.

[0024] In practical use, the waterproof and breathable membrane adheres tightly through the surrounding adhesive bonding and the physical compression of the explosion-proof sheet 5, resulting in a compact installation structure without increasing internal space. This minimizes the impact on sensor response speed and also provides dust and wind protection. This fixed gas detector is easy to use, has excellent waterproof performance, and can be submerged in water for at least 20 days without affecting its effectiveness, achieving the highest IP86 protection rating and significantly improving reliability.

[0025] 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.
