[0008] Furthermore, the dustproof structure includes a swing mounting base and a glass dustproof baffle; the swing mounting base is rotatably connected to the upper part of the particle counter body, and a rubber pad is provided on the outer side of the swing mounting base's rotating shaft; the glass dustproof baffle is fixedly connected to the middle part of the swing mounting base.

[0009] Furthermore, the prompting structure includes a status observation window and a push-button switch; the status observation window is located on the upper part of the particle counter body; the push-button switch is located on the upper part of the particle counter body.

[0010] Furthermore, the prompting structure also includes an angle limiting baffle and a prompting light; two angle limiting baffles are provided, and both angle limiting baffles are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the particle counter body; the prompting light is fixedly connected to the upper part of the glass dustproof baffle; the push-button switch is connected in series with the control circuit of the prompting light.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a reset elastic element and a driven transmission gear; the sliding pressure ring is elastically connected to the particle counter body through the reset elastic element; the driven transmission gear is rotatably connected to the upper part of the particle counter body, and the driven transmission gear meshes with the active transmission rack.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention uses an indicator light to attract the attention of measurement personnel, reminding them to observe the status indicator bar. The sticker displayed on the status indicator bar helps staff determine if they have forgotten to zero the online particle counter, avoiding inaccuracies due to forgotten zeroing and eliminating the inconvenience of re-measuring dust particles in clean environments. This reduces the workload of measurement personnel while ensuring measurement progress. A glass dustproof baffle protects the air sampling port from dust falling into it when the online particle counter is not in use, and also prevents the rubber dust cap from being easily lost after removal, improving the effectiveness of the online particle counter. Rubber pads on the outside of the swing mount ensure its stability, preventing it from swinging independently. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The prompting structure also includes an angle limiting baffle 103 and a prompt light 106; there are two angle limiting baffles 103, and both angle limiting baffles 103 are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the particle counter body 1; the prompt light 106 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the glass dustproof baffle 105; the control circuit of the push-button switch 102 and the prompt light 106 are connected in series.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: When measuring dust particles in a clean environment, push the swing mounting base 104 to move the swing mounting base 104 and the glass dustproof baffle 105 above the status observation window 101. At this time, the swing mounting base 104 will press the push-button switch 102 to power on the indicator light 106 and attract the attention of the measuring personnel. At this time, the measuring personnel can observe the color of the status indicator rod 6 through the glass dustproof baffle 105 and the status observation window 101, and thus judge the status of the particle counter. The angle limiting baffle 103 can limit the maximum movement angle of the swing mounting base 104.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] As attached Figure 4 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0032] Based on Embodiment 1, it also includes a sliding pressure ring 3, an active transmission rack 4, a limiting structure, a positioning mounting shaft 5, and a status indicator rod 6; the sliding pressure ring 3 is slidably connected to the upper part of the particle counter body 1; the active transmission rack 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding pressure ring 3, and the active transmission rack 4 is slidably connected to the particle counter body 1; the limiting structure is set on the inside of the particle counter body 1; the positioning mounting shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the particle counter body 1; the status indicator rod 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the positioning mounting shaft 5, and red and green stickers are pasted on the outside of the status indicator rod 6.

[0033] The limiting structure includes a reset elastic element 301 and a driven transmission gear 501; the sliding pressure ring 3 is elastically connected to the particle counter body 1 through the reset elastic element 301; the driven transmission gear 501 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the particle counter body 1, and the driven transmission gear 501 meshes with the active transmission rack 4.

At this time, the self-cleaning filter needs to be connected to the air sampling port 2 first. The sliding pressure ring 3 is squeezed by the self-cleaning filter, causing the active transmission rack 4 to slide downward. The active transmission rack 4 will push the driven transmission gear 501 and the direction limiting ratchet 502 to rotate. When the direction limiting ratchet 502 rotates, it will push the direction limiting pawl 503, causing the direction limiting pawl 503 to drive the positioning mounting shaft 5 to rotate. The rotation of the positioning mounting shaft 5 will drive the status indicator 6 to rotate. Rotating the indicator rod 6 changes the sticker position. After the online particle counter is zeroed, the self-cleaning filter is removed. At this time, the reset elastic element 301 pushes the sliding pressure ring 3 and the active transmission rack 4 to reset. When the driven transmission gear 501 and the direction limiting ratchet 502 reverse, they will slide outside the direction limiting pawl 503.
