[0001] This utility model relates to, but is not limited to, the field of gas detector technology, and more specifically, to an ethane gas detector. Background Technology
[0002] Ethane, as an important industrial raw material, is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and coal mining. However, ethane gas is flammable and explosive, and leaks can cause fires, explosions, and other safety accidents. Traditionally, specific gas sensors are used to detect ethane gas; this method offers advantages such as fast response, ease of operation, and the ability to perform continuous monitoring.
[0003] For example, in the prior art patent publication number CN221550643U, a gas detector is disclosed that uses a retractable hose to penetrate into the interior of the object to be tested for detection.
[0004] However, the elasticity of the hose in this gas detector causes it to be unstable inside the object being tested, making it prone to shaking and affecting the detection results, thus limiting its use. Therefore, a more stable ethane gas detector was designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an ethane gas detector.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model discloses an ethane gas detector, including a detector body, a suction pipe, and a guide. The suction pipe is located inside the upper part of the detector body. The suction pipe has a double-layer design, with the inner layer being a soft material and the outer layer being a high-strength material.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an ethane gas detector, including a detector body 100, a suction pipe 200 and a guide 300. The suction pipe 200 is disposed inside the upper part of the detector body 100. The suction pipe 200 has a double-layer design, with the inner layer of the suction pipe 200 being made of a soft material and the outer layer being made of a high-strength material. A roller 201 is provided on the inner side of the suction pipe 200, and a motor 202 is provided at one end of the roller 201.
[0026] The guide 300 is located on the front side of the suction pipe 200. The guide 300 includes a guide rod 301, a mounting rod 302 and two parallel side plates 303. The guide rod 301 and the mounting rod 302 are both located between the two side plates 303, and the mounting rod 302 is located below the guide rod 301.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the soft material of the inner layer of the suction tube 200 is either silicone or polyurethane, and the high-strength material of the outer layer is either woven mesh or engineering plastic strip. The design of the outer material allows for a reinforcing surface layer to be provided on the outside of the soft suction tube 200, so that when the suction tube 200 extends to inhale ethane gas for detection, the extended state of the suction tube 200 has a certain supporting force, avoiding slumping that could lead to unstable detection position.
[0028] In this embodiment, the suction pipe 200 is wound around the outer surface of the drum 201, and the motor 202 is screwed into the inside of the detector body 100. The output end of the motor 202 is connected to the drum 201 for transmission. The drum 201 is rotated by the motor 202. The rotation of the drum 201 controls the suction pipe 200 wound around the outer surface to be wound up or extended. The output end of the suction pipe 200 needs to be connected to a vacuum pump, and the input end of the suction pipe 200 passes through the upper end of the detector body 100.
[0029] In this embodiment, the side plate 303 is triangular in design. The guide rod 301 is screwed to the side plate 303. The side plate 303 extends through the bottom of the side plate 303 and is screwed to the detector body 100. The inner side of the guide rod 301 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the suction pipe 200. The guide rod 301 is installed in the detector body 100 through the side plate 303. The mounting rod 302 is located below the guide rod 301 and connects the lower ends of the two side plates 303. The arc-shaped groove allows the guide rod 301 to match the suction pipe 200 wound around the outside of the drum 201.
[0030] In this embodiment, a display 101 is embedded on the front side of the detector body 100, and a control area is provided on the surface of the detector body 100. The control area includes several buttons, and a connection hole 103 is provided near the bottom of the detector body 100. The data detected by the detector is displayed on the display 101, and the use of the detector is controlled by the control area. A rope can be tied in the connection hole 103 so that the detector body 100 can be carried.
[0031] In this embodiment, a support 400 is provided at the bottom of the detector body 100. The support 400 includes a support plate 401 and an adjustment plate 402. A connecting rod 404 is provided between the upper ends of the support plate 401 and the adjustment plate 402. The connecting rod 404 is fixed on both sides of the upper end of the support plate 401 and is engaged with the adjustment plate 402. The support plate 401 and the adjustment plate 402 are connected by the connecting rod 404, and the support plate 401 and the adjustment plate 402 are placed on a plane, so that the support plate 401, the adjustment plate 402 and the plane form a triangular support structure for support.
[0032] In this embodiment, a hook 405 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 401, and a connecting block 406 of elastic material is fixed on the inner side of the hook 405. A card hole adapted to the connecting block 406 is opened at the bottom of the detector body 100. The connecting block 406 is inserted into the detector body 100 through the card hole, hooked on the bottom of the detector body 100 by the hook 405, and secured in the card hole at the bottom of the detector body 100 by the elastic connecting card, so that the detector body 100 can be placed and used.
[0033] Specifically, when it is necessary to use the detector to detect ethane gas, the selection of whether to extend the suction tube 200 depends on the actual situation of the object to be tested. If extension is required, the control part of the detector controls the activation of the motor 202. The motor 202 controls the drum 201 to rotate and release the suction tube 200. The suction tube 200 extends from the upper end of the detector body 100 and enters the object to be tested. The suction tube 200 adopts a double-layer design to improve its support force when extended.
[0034] Considering the problem of tangling when the suction pipe 200 is wound up, a guide 300 is provided on the front side of the suction pipe 200. When the suction pipe 200 is wound up, the suction pipe 200 passes through the arc groove on the inner side of the guide rod 301 and rotates along the arc groove to be wound up. The guide rod 301 is fixed inside the detection body by the side plate 303 and the mounting rod 302, and is offset from other parts inside the detection body to avoid conflict.
[0035] Considering that ethane gas can be harmful to the human body, a support 400 is installed below the detector body 100. The support plate 401 and the adjustment plate 402 are assembled by the connecting rod 404. The support angle is set in advance, and the detector is placed on the hook part 405 of the support plate 401. The elastic connecting block 406 on the hook part 405 is used to engage with the detector, so that the detector can be placed and used.
[0036] The operating principle of the ethane gas detector is the same as that of publication number CN221550643U. Specifically, the detector body 100 is used by hand. When it is necessary to detect ethane gas in a deep place such as a pipeline, the suction tube is extended into the area to be tested. Then, the suction pump draws air into the suction tube, so that the suction tube extracts the gas in the area to be tested. The extracted gas is transported into the detector through the suction pump, so that the detector can detect the gas.
[0037] The detector body 100 of the ethane gas detector of this utility model is purchased from the market. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate it according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.
