[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses a gas concentration detection device, including a light source 1, a detector 2, a chopper 3, and a measuring gas chamber 4. The light source 1 emits light signals, such as infrared light. The light source 1 can be a small light bulb or a MEMS light source. The light signal emitted by the light source 1 illuminates the optical path, and the detector 2 performs infrared detection on the gas to be measured in the optical path, then converts the light signal into an electrical signal for output. That is, the detector 2 senses the light signal and converts it into an electrical signal for output. The chopper 3 is located between the light source 1 and the detector 2, and the chopper 3 can rotate relative to the light source 1. The chopper 3 rotates at a fixed frequency, periodically blocking the light beam, converting the continuous light signal into an alternating signal, facilitating subsequent phase-locked amplification. The chopper 3 modulates the DC or slowly varying signal into a high-frequency AC signal, avoiding low-frequency noise interference. The chopper 3 simultaneously generates a reference signal synchronized with the modulation frequency, used to lock the amplifier for synchronous demodulation and extract the effective signal. The chopper wheel 3 includes a first disc 31, a second disc 32, and a filter 33. The first disc 31 and the second disc 32 are connected and together clamp the filter 33. The chopper wheel 3 has a simple structure, and the filter 33 is securely installed. The first disc 31 includes a first filter hole 311, and the second disc 32 includes a second filter hole 321. Both the first filter hole 311 and the second filter hole 321 face the filter 33 to allow light signals to pass through. The measuring gas chamber 4 is used to contain the gas to be measured. The measuring gas chamber 4 is located between the chopper wheel 3 and the detector 2. The light signal emitted by the light source 1 passes through the filter 33 and the measuring gas chamber 4 before illuminating the detector 2.

[0031] Both the first disc 31 and the second disc 32 are circular structures. The first disc 31 includes a plurality of first filter holes 311, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the first disc 31. Correspondingly, the second filter holes 321 and the filter 33 are respectively provided with corresponding first filter holes 311. Please refer to the embodiments illustrated in the figures of this utility model. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first wheel 31 includes three first filter holes 311, and the shape of the first filter holes 311 is square. Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the first filter holes 311 can also be trapezoidal or circular.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first disc 31 and the second disc 32 are welded together, which not only improves the connection stability between the first disc 31 and the second disc 32, but also stabilizes the filter 33 between the first disc 31 and the second disc 32, preventing the filter 33 from falling off when the chopper 3 rotates at high speed.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the gas concentration detection device includes a drive unit 5, which can be a motor, and includes an output shaft 51. Please refer to... Figures 2 to 5As shown, the first disc 31 includes a first mounting hole 312, and the second disc 32 includes a second mounting hole 322. The output shaft 51 passes through the first mounting hole 312 and the second mounting hole 322, achieving a fixed connection between the chopper 3 and the output shaft 51. Specifically, both the first mounting hole 312 and the second mounting hole 322 are circular holes, with the inner diameter of the second mounting hole 322 being larger than that of the first mounting hole 312. The first mounting hole 312 of the chopper 3 is connected to the output shaft 51, while the second mounting hole 322 is not in contact with the output shaft 51. Increasing the inner diameter of the second mounting hole 322 helps to reduce weight.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first wheel 31 includes a plurality of first weight-reducing holes 313, which are arranged around the first mounting hole 312 and exposed in the second mounting hole 322. By providing a plurality of first weight-reducing holes 313, a weight-reducing effect is achieved.

[0035] The second disc, number 32, has a circular structure; please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second wheel 32 includes multiple second weight-reducing holes 323, with a second weight-reducing hole 323 provided between any two adjacent first filter holes 311. The area of ​​the first wheel 31 corresponding to the second weight-reducing holes 323 does not have weight-reducing holes; instead, a ring of first weight-reducing holes 313 is provided outside the first mounting hole 312, achieving staggered weight reduction between the first wheel 31 and the second wheel 32. In the embodiment illustrated in this utility model, the second wheel 32 includes three second weight-reducing holes 323, with a second weight-reducing hole 323 provided between any two adjacent first filter holes 311.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the gas concentration detection device includes a test sensor 6, which is located on the side of the chopper 3 away from the drive component 5 and connected to the output shaft 51. The test sensor 6 is used to test the number of rotations of the chopper 3.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the measuring chamber 4 are provided with windows 7 for light transmission and sealing. The measuring chamber 4 is provided with a first air nozzle 81 and a second air nozzle 82. The first air nozzle 81 is located near the light source 1, and the second air nozzle 82 is located near the detector 2. Specifically, the first air nozzle 81 is used for air intake, and the second air nozzle 82 is used for air exhaust.

[0038] The chopper wheel 3 provided by this utility model is disc-shaped, with a filter 33 embedded in the middle of the chopper wheel 3, and the chopper wheel 3 is placed on the light source side. When the chopper wheel 3 is driven by the driving component 5 to rotate to the filter 33, the light signal can pass through the filter 33 and be received by the detector 2, which can facilitate the rapid cutting of the light signal. In addition, according to the structure of the chopper wheel 3, the chopping frequency can be increased to achieve fast signal tracking and improve the sensor reading response time.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. The understanding of the present utility model should be based on those skilled in the art. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still make modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model. All technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
