[0047] The membrane box 33 consists of three parts: membrane box cover 331, mesh support 332, and membrane box base 333.

[0048] Both the membrane box cover 331 and the membrane box base 333 are designed as rings, and the inner diameter of the membrane box cover 331 is larger than the outer diameter of the membrane box base 333. A first annular protrusion 334 is provided on the upper circumferential side of the membrane box cover 331, and a second annular protrusion 335 is provided on the lower circumferential side of the membrane box base 333.

[0049] A mesh support 332 is disposed on the upper end face of the membrane box base 333. The filter membrane is placed on the mesh support 332. The membrane box cover 331 is fastened to the membrane box base 333, so that the filter membrane and the mesh support 332 are fixed between the lower end face of the first annular protrusion 334 and the upper end face of the membrane box base 333. Then, the membrane box 33 is placed on the stepped surface of the lower membrane holder 32, and the upper membrane holder 31 is fastened to the lower membrane holder 32. The stepped surface and side wall of the upper membrane holder 31 and the stepped surface and side wall of the lower membrane holder 32 are used together to achieve the fixing and sealing of the membrane box 33.

[0050] In the structure of the membrane box 33 described above, the side walls of the upper membrane support 31 and the lower membrane support 32 can be detachably connected by multiple latches 70.

[0051] For example, the fixing end of the latch 70 can be fixed to the side wall of the lower film holder 32, and a corresponding connecting groove 312 can be provided at the corresponding position on the side wall of the upper film holder 31, so that the fastening end of the latch 70 can be fastened in the connecting groove 312, thereby achieving the fixing effect between the upper film holder 31 and the lower film holder 32.

[0059] The following describes the steps for using the aircraft PM2.5 collection device for atmospheric aerosol measurement provided in this embodiment:

[0060] 1) The air intake pipe 10 needs to be installed on the outside of the fuselage. When installing, attention should be paid to the fixed position, away from the location where the aircraft may emit particulate matter. The pipe between the air intake pipe 10 and the air intake end of the cutter 20 is a rubber hose. The rubber hose needs to be connected and fixed to the air intake pipe 10 with a sealing strip. Then, the other end of the rubber hose is connected to the air intake end of the cutter 20. The air outlet end of the cutter 20 is connected to the air intake end of the upper diaphragm support 31 with a curved air supply pipe 60. Then, the air outlet end of the lower diaphragm support 32 is connected to the flow regulating device 40, and then the flow regulating device 40 is connected to the air pump.

[0061] 2) After assembling the collection device, place the prepared filter membrane into the membrane box 33. If using a quartz membrane, ensure the rough side of the quartz membrane is facing upwards. When using, open the latch 70, place the assembled membrane box 33 face up on the lower membrane holder 32, then fasten the upper membrane holder 31 on top of the membrane box 33, and finally use the latch 708 to secure the lower membrane holder 32 and the upper membrane holder 31.

[0062] 3) Using the flow display module 42, adjust the control valve to ensure that the flow rate is adjusted to 92L / min, which corresponds to the flow rate of the cutter 20, and the cut particles have a diameter of 2.5 micrometers.

[0063] 4) The aircraft flies at a speed of 60-65 m / s. After reaching the designated location, connect the power supply to the air pump and begin sampling. After the sampling time is reached, disconnect the power supply to the air pump.

[0064] 5) After recording the sampling time and height, open the latch 70 of the membrane holder and take out the membrane box 33 where the sampling has been completed. Open the membrane box 33, remove the quartz membrane with tweezers and place it in the blank membrane box 33 for storage. After landing, send it to the laboratory to analyze the aerosol component concentration, replace the filter membrane, and prepare for the next sampling.

[0065] The isokinetic sampling flow rate of the target sampling area is calculated using the following formula:

[0066]

[0067] Q rs The sampling flow rate for the target area is expressed in L / min; d is the diameter of the sampling inlet, expressed in mm; V s Sampling flow rate, in m / s; unit: cm 2 ;t s The ambient temperature sampled inside the cabin is expressed in °C; t r The actual temperature sampled outside the cabin, in °C, can be measured by an external cabin temperature sensor; X sw Moisture content of the sampling environment, expressed as a percentage.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
