Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an air quality monitoring device, and more particularly to an indoor air quality monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Air quality monitoring equipment is used to monitor and assess the concentration of pollutants and other related parameters in the air. Through highly integrated sensor technology, it monitors and analyzes various parameters in the air in real time, providing accurate and timely air quality data so that relevant personnel can visually interpret the air quality of their environment. Existing air quality monitoring equipment can typically monitor multiple air quality parameters such as PM2.5, PM10, formaldehyde, TVOC, carbon dioxide, and methane. Application scenarios include indoor environments such as homes, offices, laboratories, hospitals, and mines.
[0003] Most existing air quality monitoring devices operate on similar principles, typically using a miniature air pump to extract gases from the environment. These gases are drawn into a detection chamber, which contains gas sensors designed to detect different gases. The data detected by these sensors is sent to a chip, which processes and stores the data or transmits it to an external terminal device. To avoid sensor interference that could lead to inaccurate data, each detection chamber generally contains only one type of gas sensor. However, different environments require different gas parameters. For example, offices and hospitals typically need to detect PM2.5, PM10, formaldehyde, and TVOC, while environments like mines generally require detection of toxic, harmful, or flammable gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane.
[0004] Therefore, air quality monitoring equipment manufacturers need to produce various models of air quality monitoring equipment for different customer groups. The differences between these models may only lie in the types of sensors, but all require dedicated production lines for assembly, and small-batch customers generally do not support customization. Therefore, developing a modular, easy-to-assemble air quality monitoring device that allows customers to choose their own components is particularly important. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an indoor air quality monitoring device, which solves the problem that the existing technology cannot support DIY assembly due to its inherent structure.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: An indoor air quality monitoring device includes a monitoring box, an air pump, an air extraction pipe, multiple gas detection sensors and a chip. The air pump and the gas detection sensors are electrically connected to the chip. The monitoring box also has a gas chamber mounting base and several detection gas chambers. The gas chamber mounting base includes a base, a sealing film and a cover plate. The base has a first air chamber and a second air chamber independently formed. The base also has a first connector communicating with the first air chamber and a second connector communicating with the second air chamber. Both connectors are connected to the air extraction pipe. The cover plate has several mounting positions for installing the detection gas chambers. Each mounting position has an air extraction hole, an air supply hole and a... The device has two positioning screw holes. The air supply hole and the air extraction hole both penetrate the cover plate and are respectively aligned with the first air chamber and the second air chamber. The sealing film is disposed between the base and the cover plate, so that the air supply hole and the air extraction hole are airtightly isolated from the two air chambers. The detection air chamber includes a chamber body, an upper sealing end, a lower sealing end, a gas detection sensor disposed in the upper sealing end, and two needle tubes penetrating the lower sealing end. The bottom of the chamber body is also provided with a positioning plate that matches the positioning screw holes. The detection air chamber can be fixed to the positioning plate and the positioning screw holes by bolts, so that the detection air chamber is fixed in the mounting position, and the two needle tubes are inserted into the corresponding air extraction hole and air supply hole, while penetrating the sealing film.
[0007] The detection principle of this utility model is as follows: when the air pump is turned on, the air extraction pipe starts to extract air, and the external gas will flow into the first air chamber, the detection air chamber, the second air chamber and the air pump in sequence along the air extraction pipe. After the air pump is turned on for a period of time, it is turned off. At this time, the gas in the detection air chamber is basically replaced by the newly extracted external gas. Then the gas detection sensor starts to detect and transmits the data to the chip.
[0008] The gas chamber mounting base of this utility model is used to install a detection gas chamber. Its cover plate has multiple mounting positions. This utility model also includes various detection gas chambers, each of which can be installed and fixed in the mounting positions. The difference lies in the type of gas detection sensor inside. Users can choose different detection gas chambers according to their needs and then install them on the gas chamber mounting base. The installation method is as follows: First, align the two needle tubes at the bottom of the detection gas chamber with the suction port and the supply port, regardless of orientation. Then, forcefully insert them until the needle tubes penetrate the sealing film. Finally, fix the positioning plate to the positioning screw hole using bolts. This completes the assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the end of the extraction pipe connected to the extraction pump is the rear end, and a filter head and a drying tube are connected in series between the front end of the extraction pipe and the air chamber mounting base. The filter head is used to filter out large particulate impurities in the air, while the drying tube is used to remove moisture from the air, which helps to extend the service life of the sensor.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a temperature and humidity sensor and a barometric pressure sensor exposed to the atmosphere, both of which are electrically connected to the chip to monitor temperature, humidity and barometric pressure values.
[0011] Therefore, this utility model has the following characteristics compared with the prior art: 1. The gas chamber mounting base in this utility model is used to install the detection gas chamber. Its cover plate is provided with multiple mounting positions. At the same time, this utility model is also equipped with a variety of detection gas chambers. The difference lies in the different types of gas detection sensors inside. Users can purchase different detection gas chambers according to their own needs and then install them on the gas chamber mounting base. The assembly of the detection gas chamber and the gas chamber mounting base is simple. After the assembly is completed, the gas path can be connected. Therefore, DIY assembly can be realized, and it is also convenient to replace the detection gas chamber later. Attached Figure Description
