[0002] Dust particle counter is the instrument for detecting dust concentration and size in clean workshop or clean room, thereby providing the basis for the identification of gas cleanliness level. The medical clean room, semiconductor workshop, different clean environment have higher requirements for detection precision and particle size, and there are more measurement points. Especially, the large particle dust, cotton and other sundries in the environment can be sucked into the sensor through the dust particle counter, causing blockage and dust accumulation, thereby affecting the measurement precision.

Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this example provides a dust particle counter, which includes a counting sensor 1, a power component 2 for at least drawing airflow, a first valve 3, a second valve 4, a third valve 5, a first filter 6, and a second filter 7.

[0037] The counting sensor 1 includes an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The power unit 2 includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The third valve 5 includes a first passage and a second passage, both of which can be connected to the air outlet of the power unit 2. The air outlet 12, the first valve 3, the air inlet of the power unit 2, the air outlet of the power unit 2, the first passage of the third valve 5, and the first filter 6 are connected in sequence. The second valve 4 is connected to the atmosphere and the air inlet of the power unit 2, respectively. The second filter 7 is connected to the second passage of the third valve 5 and the air outlet 12, respectively.

[0038] In this example, valve 3, valve 4, and valve 5 are all solenoid valves. Furthermore, valve 3 is a normally open one-way solenoid valve, valve 4 is a normally closed one-way solenoid valve, and valve 5 is a two-position five-way solenoid valve.

[0039] The power component 2 is a fan or air pump. The dust particle counter also includes a flow meter 8 and a control system. The flow meter 8 is connected to the first filter 6. The control system is communicatively connected to the first valve 3, the second valve 4, the third valve 5, the flow meter 6, and the fan or air pump.

[0040] In the example, the dust particle counter further comprises a plurality of anti-static rubber tubes, a plurality of three-way valves 9, each component is connected through an anti-static rubber tube, the air outlet 12 is connected with the air inlet of the first valve 3 and the air outlet of the second filter 7 through a three-way valve 9, and the air outlet of the first valve 3 is connected with the air outlet of the second valve 4 and the air inlet of the power component 2 through a three-way valve 9. Further, in the example, the dust particle counter further comprises a plurality of quick connectors, which are used to connect and communicate between some components, and can be connected faster when connected, have excellent air tightness, are convenient and fast, and have good effects; meanwhile, the components can be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0041] In the example, the counting sensor 1, the first valve 3 and the power component 2 are sequentially arranged along a first track; the third valve 5 and the first filter 6 are sequentially arranged along a second track; the second valve 4 and the second filter 7 are sequentially arranged along a third track; and the third track is located between the first track and the second track. Further, the first track, the second track and the third track are arranged in parallel. The above arrangement is beneficial to compact structure layout and reduces the volume and space ratio.

[0042] The dust particle counter comprises a counting detection working state and a backwashing blowing state; when the dust particle counter is in the counting detection working state, the first valve 3 is in an open state, the second valve 4 is in a closed state, and the first passage of the third valve 5 is in an open state and the second passage is in a closed state; when the dust particle counter is in the backwashing blowing state, the first valve 3 is in a closed state, the second valve 4 is in an open state, and the first passage of the third valve 5 is in a closed state and the second passage is in an open state.

[0043] Further, in the normal counting detection working state, the air flow enters from the duckbill-shaped air inlet 11, is collected by the counting sensor 1 through light scattering method, the air inlet of the third valve 5, i.e. a two-position five-way electromagnetic valve, is connected with the power component 2 such as a fan, the air outlet, i.e. the first passage, is connected with the first filter 6, at this time, the pipeline connected with the second filter 7 of the other air outlet, i.e. the second passage, is in a normally closed state, and the second valve 4, i.e. a one-way normally closed electromagnetic valve, is also in a non-working state, the detected gas flows through the air outlet 12, the three-way valve 9, the first valve 3, i.e. a one-way normally open electromagnetic valve, the air inlet of the power component 2, the air outlet of the power component 2, under the suction of the power component 2 such as a fan, the gas flows through the third valve 5, i.e. a two-position five-way electromagnetic valve, passes through the first filter 6, and finally enters the detection link of the flow meter 8, and after the detection of the flow is completed, the gas is discharged, wherein the first filter 6 filters the oil particles, impurities and pollution particles in the electromagnetic valve and the environment gas before the flow detection, so as to prevent the pollution of the flow meter 8 and the detection environment.

[0044] In the backflushing and purging state, the valve core of the first valve 3, i.e., the normally open electromagnetic valve, enters the closed state after being powered on, the valve core of the second valve 4, i.e., the normally closed electromagnetic valve, enters the open state after being powered on, and the valve core of the third valve 5, i.e., the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve, connects the second filter 7 in the gas outlet position after being powered on. Therefore, the gas path of backflushing and purging is as follows: the power component 2, e.g., the fan, in the normal operation state, draws air, the air inlet of the second valve 4, i.e., the normally closed electromagnetic valve, draws air, the air passes through the three-way valve 9, the air inlet of the fan, the fan, the air outlet of the fan, enters the other air outlet of the third valve 5, i.e., the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve, the valve core of which is powered on, the air flows through the second filter 7 and the air outlet 12, returns to the counting sensor 1, and performs the backflushing and purging action on the duck-billed air inlet 11 which is blocked or accumulated with dust, wherein the purpose of passing through the second filter 7 is to filter the gas in the environment and the oil particles and impurities in the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve, and the counting sensor 1 is not secondarily polluted. The number and time of backflushing can be programmed according to the pollution of the actual environment to realize automatic cleaning in different sampling periods and different conditions.

[0045] In summary, the dust particle counter of the utility model has the counting detection working state and the backflushing and purging state at the same time, and can be freely switched between the two states, thereby solving the problems of pollution, blockage and dust accumulation of the duck-billed air inlet of the sensor of the dust particle counter, and without affecting the sensor, the flow meter and the environmental pollution, the flow stability and accuracy of the instrument are ensured, the air flow passing property of the pipeline and the sensor is improved, the service life and reliability of the power component, e.g., the fan, are guaranteed, the after-sales cost of the customer is reduced, and the operation quality of the dust particle counter is improved.
