[0023] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The filter port 8 has a movable groove on its wall. A fastening spring 12 is symmetrically fixedly connected inside the movable groove. A fastening block 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fastening spring 12. The surface of the fastening block 13 is slidably connected to the movable groove. Fastening grooves 14 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the connecting frame 9. The fastening grooves 14 are engaged with the fastening blocks 13.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fastening spring 12, fastening block 13 and fastening groove 14 enable the quick installation and disassembly of the connecting frame 9, making it convenient to replace the filter screen 10.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 The inner wall of the filter port 8 is symmetrically fixed with an auxiliary block 15 about the fastening block 13, and the auxiliary block 15 is engaged with another fastening groove 14.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the auxiliary block 15, the auxiliary block 15 can be engaged with another fastening groove 14, which can further enhance the stability of the installation of the connecting frame 9 and prevent the connecting frame 9 from shaking or falling off during use.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 The inner wall of the connecting shell 6 is provided with several actuation ports 16, and the several actuation ports 16 correspond one-to-one with several moving slots. The surface of the fastening block 13 is fixedly connected with an actuation block 17, and the actuation block 17 is slidably connected to the actuation port 16.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the setting of the toggle port 16 and the toggle block 17 makes it convenient for the operator to control the movement of the fastening block 13 by toggle the toggle block 17 without disassembling the connecting shell 6, thereby realizing the disassembly and installation of the connecting frame 9.

[0029] refer to Figure 2A sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conductor 3, and the sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 1. A shock-absorbing block 19 is provided on the top of the conduction cylinder 4, and the other end of the shock-absorbing block 19 is attached to the upper housing 7.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sealing ring 18 can prevent external dust, moisture and other substances from entering the detector from the connection between the wire 3 and the lower housing 1, thereby improving the detector's sealing and protection performance.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Both ends of the arc-shaped strip 11 are fixedly connected to fixing blocks 20. The surface of the fixing block 20 is threaded with screws, and the threaded end of the screws passes through the fixing block 20 and is threadedly connected to the connecting shell 6.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the fixing block 20 and screws, the arc strip 11 can be replaced separately as a vulnerable part, thereby reducing the maintenance cost in the later stage, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the arc strip 11.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this probe assembly, firstly, it is correctly connected to the external gas detector via the wire 3 and powered on. The detector starts working, and the gas in the surrounding environment enters the detection head 2 sequentially through the filter port 8, filter screen 10, and conduction hole 5. The detection head 2 detects the gas and transmits the signal to the external device for processing and display. The user can obtain relevant information about the gas detection through the external device. At this time, the sealing ring 18 on the surface of the wire 3 is tightly connected to the lower housing 1, preventing external dust, water vapor, etc. from entering the detector from the connection between the wire 3 and the lower housing 1, thus playing a sealing and protective role. The shock-absorbing block 19 on the top of the conduction cylinder 4 can buffer the vibration transmitted from the upper housing 7 when the detector is vibrated, reducing the impact of vibration on the detection head 2 and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the detection head 2. The arc-shaped strip 11 on the surface of the connecting shell 6 has a protective and anti-collision function. When the detector is hit by an external collision, the arc-shaped strip 11 absorbs and disperses the impact energy through its own deformation, increasing the contact area with the impacting object and making the force more uniform. The impact force is guided to protect the connecting shell 6 and its internal components from damage. When the filter screen 10 needs to be replaced, the toggle block 17 is slid within the toggle port 16, thereby compressing the fastening block 13 and disengaging it from the fastening groove 14. Then, the connecting frame 9 can be removed. After replacing the filter screen 10, the connecting frame 9 is reinstalled into the filter port 8 according to the installation steps. The fastening groove 14 on the connecting frame 9 first engages with the auxiliary block 15 at the filter port 8, and then the reaction force of the fastening spring 12 is used to push... The movable fastening block 13 is inserted into another fastening groove 14, thereby fixing the connecting frame 9 and enabling the replacement of the filter screen 10. In addition, when overall maintenance is required, the housing 1, connecting housing 6 and upper housing 7 can be disassembled to clean and inspect the internal components such as the detection head 2 and the conduction cylinder 4 to ensure their normal operation. When disassembling, simply turn the corresponding components in the opposite direction of the threaded connection. However, when reinstalling, ensure that all components are installed in place and tightened to guarantee the sealing and stability of the detector.
