[0002] Today, in the field of global atmospheric monitoring, accurate and dynamic monitoring of ocean atmospheric composition is becoming increasingly important. Traditional atmospheric composition monitoring methods are mostly based on fixed land-based stations. The ocean covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, and its atmospheric environment is complex and variable. The unique underlying surface leads to air-sea interactions, making it difficult for fixed-site monitoring to fully reflect the spatiotemporal variations in ocean atmospheric composition. To supplement atmospheric composition observation data in ocean and polar regions, researchers typically install various monitoring devices on ships to conduct mobile monitoring.
[0003] With the increasing frequency and diversification of marine scientific research missions, and the ever-increasing demands for monitoring efficiency, a single voyage must encompass more than ten disciplines, including atmosphere, glaciers and sea ice, hydrology and meteorology, seabed topography, marine plankton, swimming organisms, microorganisms, bacteria and viruses, and marine chemistry. This results in a significant shortage of usable space within ships specifically for atmospheric composition analysis. Furthermore, to more accurately monitor the concentrations of atmospheric components related to the atmospheric-oceanic boundary layer, it is necessary to minimize the pollution impact from ship exhaust and human activities, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of atmospheric composition monitoring equipment.

[0009] Optionally, the air intake assembly also includes: multiple air intake branch pipes, which are disposed on the pipe body located inside the cabin of the air intake pipe and are respectively connected to multiple atmospheric composition monitoring devices to deliver the gas to be detected to each atmospheric composition monitoring device.
[0010] Optionally, the intake assembly also includes an intake fan, located at the lower end of the intake pipe, for drawing gas from the external environment into the atmospheric composition monitoring device.
[0011] Optionally, the exhaust assembly includes: an exhaust pipe extending downward from inside the cabin to outside the cabin, for discharging the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device to the outside of the cabin; an exhaust gas collection branch pipe disposed on the pipe body of the exhaust pipe located in the installation space, for collecting the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device; and an exhaust fan disposed on the exhaust pipe, for discharging the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device to the external environment.
[0012] Optionally, the atmospheric composition monitoring container suitable for shipboard navigation also includes a split-type air conditioner, which includes: an indoor air conditioner unit, installed in the installation space, used to regulate the temperature inside the container; and an outdoor air conditioner unit, arranged in an enclosure space outside the container, the enclosure space being formed by extending outward from the top and bottom walls of the container on the side near the air intake components.
[0013] Optionally, the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin suitable for shipboard navigation also includes: a tool cabinet, located below the air conditioner outdoor unit, for storing maintenance tools and supporting the air conditioner outdoor unit; and a hatch, located on the lateral side of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the tool cabinet, the hatch being an outward-opening hatch for opening and closing the cabin.
[0014] Optionally, the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin suitable for shipboard navigation also includes: a maintenance ladder, installed on the side wall opposite the cabin door, for personnel to access the top area of the cabin.

[0016] Optionally, atmospheric composition monitoring equipment includes: black carbon monitors, ozone analyzers, and ozone calibrators.
[0017] The atmospheric composition monitoring container for ships underway provided by this utility model integrates components such as air intake components, atmospheric composition monitoring equipment, and exhaust components, which can make full use of the space inside the container and solve the problem of space shortage inside the ship's cabin.
[0018] Furthermore, by incorporating a U-shaped section, connecting the first straight pipe segment to the upper end of the air inlet pipe, connecting the second straight pipe segment to the rain cap, and installing a filter device inside the rain cap, rainwater can be prevented from entering the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment, while ensuring that the gas entering the equipment is adequately filtered.

[0027] This invention provides a container for monitoring atmospheric composition during ship navigation. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the connection of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. During ship navigation, the ship continuously traverses different sea areas, where the atmospheric composition varies significantly. Furthermore, the ship generates its own exhaust emissions, necessitating accurate and real-time monitoring of atmospheric composition. The atmospheric composition monitoring cabin of this embodiment may include a cabin 10, within which is defined an installation space 14 for mounting an atmospheric monitoring system. The atmospheric monitoring system generally includes an air intake assembly 100, an atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, and an exhaust assembly 300. This design enables the ship to accurately and in real-time monitor atmospheric composition during navigation.
[0028] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air intake assembly 100 extends upwards from the interior of the cabin 10 to the exterior of the top wall 11 of the cabin 10, and is used to draw in external gas into the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 for gas detection and analysis. The atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 is installed in the installation space 14. After detecting the inhaled gas, it discharges the exhaust gas to the exterior of the cabin 10 through the exhaust assembly 300. The air intake assembly 100 extends upwards from the installation space 14 to the exterior of the top wall 11, and the exhaust assembly 300 extends downwards from the installation space 14 to the exterior of the bottom wall 12 to discharge the exhaust gas, forming a clear and smooth gas flow path. This design allows external gas to smoothly enter the cabin 10 for detection by the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, while the detected exhaust gas can be discharged in a timely manner, ensuring orderly gas flow and contributing to the stable operation of the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. Furthermore, by placing the intake assembly 100 and the exhaust assembly 300 on the top wall 11 and bottom wall 12 of the cabin 10 respectively, the spatial structure of the cabin 10 is fully utilized, allowing for a more rational planning and utilization of the installation space 14 inside the cabin 10 for installing the atmospheric monitoring system. This layout design helps to efficiently install and operate the various components of the atmospheric monitoring system within the limited installation space 14.
[0029] Furthermore, the dimensions of the hull 10 should conform to the dimensions of a standard shipping container, specifically 6058mm × 2438mm × 2591mm (length × width × height). This design improves the transfer efficiency of the atmospheric composition monitoring container, allowing for efficient switching between different modes of transport (such as ships, trains, and trucks). All transport vehicles are designed with corresponding loading spaces and handling equipment according to standard container dimensions, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments and significantly shortening the transfer time of the atmospheric composition monitoring container, thus improving transfer efficiency. In addition, designing the dimensions of the hull 10 to conform to the dimensions of a standard shipping container also improves the space utilization rate of the vessel.
[0030] Furthermore, the outer walls of the hull 10 can be made entirely of thick 316L stainless steel plates, with a thickness of 0.1-0.2 cm. 12# channel steel surface treatment technology is used to enhance structural stability. This type of outer wall can withstand the harsh environment of high humidity and high salt spray corrosion at sea. The inner walls can also be made entirely of thin 316L stainless steel plates, facilitating indoor corrosion prevention and cleaning. To suit polar scientific expeditions and other voyages requiring a rapid transition from the hot equator to the frigid poles, insulation materials can be installed around the hull to cope with extreme temperature changes, ensuring personnel safety and the normal operation of equipment.
[0031] Furthermore, a workbench can be arranged within the installation space 14. The workbench is equipped with C-shaped slots, and the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 is secured using clamping or pressing mechanisms with matching clip screws. This method allows for flexible adjustment based on the size and shape of the equipment, accommodating various types and specifications of monitoring devices, thus improving the workbench's compatibility and versatility with different equipment. A valve box can also be installed on the side of the workbench, directly below the air inlet, facilitating centralized airflow management, convenient operation, and requiring relatively little space.
[0032] In some optional embodiments, the top wall 11 of the cabin 10 is provided with an air inlet through-hole 101, the diameter of which should be adapted to the diameter of the air inlet pipe 110. The air intake assembly 100 is formed by extending upward from the inside of the cabin 10 through the air inlet through-hole 101. The air intake assembly 100 includes an air intake pipe 110, a U-shaped section 120, a rain cap 130, and a filter device 140. The air intake pipe 110 extends upward from the inside of the cabin 10 through the air inlet through-hole 101 to the outside of the cabin 10, for delivering gas from the external environment to the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. Considering that there may be floating solid particles in the air of the external environment, their natural settling into the air intake pipe 110 may damage the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, a U-shaped section 120 can be provided at the upper end of the air intake pipe 110. Figure 3This is a partial cross-sectional view of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. The U-shaped section 120 generally includes a first straight pipe section 121, a second straight pipe section 122, and an arc-shaped bend section 123. The first arc-shaped section is connected to the upper end of the air inlet pipe 110, so that the second straight pipe section 122 faces downward, which can prevent small solid particles in the air from naturally settling into the air inlet, thereby preventing the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200 from being damaged by small solid particles floating in the air.
[0033] Furthermore, a rain cap 130 can be connected at the second straight pipe section 122 to prevent rainwater from entering the air intake assembly 100 from the air intake pipe 110. If rainwater enters the air intake assembly 100, it may change parameters such as humidity of the gas inside the cabin, affecting the detection accuracy of the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200. The rain cap 130 effectively avoids this situation and ensures the accuracy of the detection results.
[0034] Furthermore, a filter device 140 can be installed inside the rain cap 130 to purify the air entering the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. The purified air reduces interference from impurities and pollutants, further ensuring the accuracy of the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200's test results. It also reduces the corrosive effects of these impurities on the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, which helps extend the service life of the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, a fixing flange can be provided at the air inlet through-hole 101, and the fixing flange can be bolted to the top wall 11 of the cabin 10. The fixing flange can serve as a positioning device to ensure that the air intake pipe 110 is installed in the correct position on the top wall 11 of the cabin 10. During installation, simply fixing the fixing flange in the designated position according to the design requirements can ensure the positional accuracy of the air intake pipe 110, which is beneficial to the reasonable layout and normal operation of the air intake assembly 100.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, the intake pipe 110 can be configured as a double-layer pipe structure. For example, the outer pipe is a stainless steel fluoropolymer-plated pipe with an inner diameter of 3 cm, and the inner pipe is a Teflon pipe with an outer diameter of 3 cm. The portion of the intake pipe 110 outside the cabin 10 can be set at 150 cm. The stainless steel fluoropolymer-plated pipe has strong corrosion resistance, resisting the erosion of various chemicals in the external environment and protecting the intake pipe 110 from damage. The Teflon surface is smooth and has extremely low gas adsorption, minimizing adsorption loss when the gas flows inside the pipe, ensuring that the amount and composition of the gas entering the monitoring instrument are consistent with the actual atmospheric conditions. This double-layer pipe structure allows the intake pipe 110 to maintain high strength while reducing gas adsorption on the inner pipe; the combination of these two aspects improves the efficiency and accuracy of gas transmission.
[0037] In some alternative embodiments, the inner depth of the rain cap 130 can generally be set to 30 cm, and the outer diameter can be set to 10 cm. The rain cap 130 can also be detachably connected to the second straight pipe section 122, and the connection method can be a threaded connection or an interference fit. Considering that the rain cap 130 may be corroded by prolonged exposure to external air, the material of the rain cap 130 can be stainless steel, with a fluorine plating on the surface. Stainless steel itself has a certain degree of corrosion resistance and can resist general oxidation and corrosion. However, the rain cap 130, after prolonged exposure to external air, is easily affected by humid air, rainwater, and potentially corrosive substances. After fluorine plating the stainless steel surface, the fluorine coating can further enhance the corrosion resistance of the rain cap 130, effectively preventing rainwater and acidic or alkaline substances in the air from corroding the rain cap 130, thus extending its service life.
[0038] It should be noted that "first straight pipe section 121" and "second straight pipe section 122" should be understood as follows: the first straight pipe section 121 is connected at one end to the upper end of the air intake pipe 110 and at the other end to the curved bend pipe section 123. Correspondingly, the second straight pipe section 122 is connected at one end to the rain cap 130 and at the other end to the curved bend pipe section 123. Figure 1 As shown, the left side of the arc-shaped bend section 123 is the first straight pipe section 121, and the right side of the arc-shaped bend section 123 is the second straight pipe section 122.
[0039] In some optional embodiments, the air intake assembly 100 further includes multiple air intake branch pipes 150, disposed on the pipe body of the air intake pipe 110 located inside the cabin 10, and respectively connected to multiple atmospheric composition monitoring devices 200 to deliver the gas to be tested to each atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. Multiple air intake branch pipes 150 can simultaneously provide the gas to be tested to multiple atmospheric composition monitoring devices 200, enabling each device to work in parallel and simultaneously detect and analyze different gas components. This significantly shortens the detection time, improves the overall detection efficiency, and allows for timely acquisition of detailed information on the atmospheric composition inside the cabin 10, enabling operators to promptly detect abnormalities and take appropriate measures.
[0040] In some optional embodiments, the air intake assembly 100 may further include an air intake fan 160, which is disposed at the lower end of the air intake pipe 110 and is used to draw gas from the external environment into the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. The air intake fan 160 can actively draw gas from the external environment into the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, ensuring that sufficient gas enters the chamber 10 for detection by the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. Especially when the external ambient gas pressure is low or natural ventilation conditions are poor, the power provided by the fan can ensure smooth air intake and maintain the normal operation of the detection system.
[0041] Furthermore, the flow rate and velocity of the gas entering the chamber 10 can be precisely controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the intake fan 160. This helps optimize the operating conditions of the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200, enabling the equipment to perform detection in a stable airflow environment and improving the accuracy and repeatability of the detection results. For example, for some detection sensors that are sensitive to gas flow rate, a suitable flow rate allows the sensor to make better and fuller contact with the gas, thereby measuring the gas composition more accurately.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, the intake fan 160 can be a four-stage tandem fan. A four-stage tandem fan means that the gas passes sequentially through four fan impellers, with each stage compressing and accelerating the gas, gradually increasing the gas pressure and flow rate, thereby achieving a higher pressurization effect and providing sufficient air intake for the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200. Furthermore, in a multi-stage tandem fan system, if one stage fan fails, the other stages can still maintain intake functionality to a certain extent, albeit with reduced performance, preventing the entire intake system from failing completely, thus improving system reliability and fault tolerance. Simultaneously, this design facilitates fan maintenance and repair, as each stage fan can be inspected and replaced separately without affecting the normal operation of other stages.
[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the exhaust assembly 300 includes an exhaust pipe 310, a tail gas collection branch pipe 320, and an exhaust fan 330. Figure 4 This is a connection diagram of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to another embodiment of the present invention. The exhaust pipe 310 extends downwards from inside the cabin 10 to the outside of the cabin 10, discharging the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 to the outside of the cabin 10. The exhaust pipe 310 can promptly remove the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, preventing exhaust gas accumulation and reducing corrosion and pollution of the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 by the exhaust gas. The exhaust pipe 310 inside the cabin 10 is equipped with multiple exhaust gas collection branches 320. One end of each exhaust gas collection branch 320 is connected to the corresponding atmospheric composition monitoring device 200, and the other end is connected to the exhaust pipe 310. By setting multiple exhaust gas collection branches 320, the exhaust gas generated by each atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 can be collected directionally. Since different monitoring devices may generate different types or characteristics of exhaust gas during operation, this one-to-one connection method ensures that each type of exhaust gas can be accurately collected, which is beneficial to the normal operation of each device inside the cabin 10.
[0044] Furthermore, an exhaust fan 330 can be installed on the exhaust pipe 310 to discharge the exhaust gas generated by the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 into the external environment. The exhaust fan 330 provides additional suction power to overcome the resistance of the exhaust pipe 310 and the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cabin, ensuring that the exhaust gas can be discharged outside the cabin more quickly and effectively. The fan's effect is more pronounced when the internal pressure of the cabin 10 is low or the exhaust gas discharge resistance is high, preventing the exhaust gas from accumulating inside the cabin and ensuring the air quality and operating environment of the equipment.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin also includes a split-type air conditioner 400, which includes an indoor unit 410 and an outdoor unit 420. The indoor unit 410 is installed in the installation space 14 and is used to regulate the temperature inside the cabin 10. The top wall 11 and bottom wall 12 of the cabin 10 near the air intake assembly 100 extend outward to form a receiving space for accommodating the outdoor unit 420. The outdoor unit 420 works in conjunction with the indoor unit 410 to regulate the temperature inside the cabin 10. By using the receiving space formed by the outward extension of the top wall 11 and bottom wall 12 of the cabin 10 near the air intake assembly 100 to house the outdoor unit 420, the space outside the cabin 10 is effectively utilized, avoiding the need to separately set up a placement area for the outdoor unit 420 near the cabin 10, saving space and making the overall layout more compact and reasonable.
[0046] Furthermore, the design of the split-type air conditioner 400 makes temperature regulation inside the cabin 10 more independent and effective. The indoor unit 410 directly cools or heats the interior of the cabin 10, enabling rapid and accurate temperature regulation and providing a stable operating environment temperature for the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200. Simultaneously, the side wall of the cabin 10 between the cabin 10 and the outdoor unit 420 provides insulation, reducing the heat generated by the outdoor unit 420 during operation from being transferred into the cabin 10, thus improving the insulation performance of the cabin 10 and helping to maintain a stable interior temperature.
[0047] Figure 5 This is a right view of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. One side of the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin in this embodiment generally includes a tool cabinet 500 and a door 13. The tool cabinet 500 is located below the air conditioner outdoor unit 420 and is used to store maintenance tools and support the air conditioner outdoor unit 420. This fully utilizes the space below the air conditioner outdoor unit 420, which might otherwise be unused, avoiding wasted space and making the spatial layout within the cabin more compact and rational, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, by placing the tool cabinet 500 near the air conditioner outdoor unit 420, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 420 malfunctions and requires repair, maintenance personnel can conveniently and quickly retrieve the necessary tools from the tool cabinet 500 below, without having to search for tools throughout the cabin, saving maintenance time and improving maintenance efficiency.
[0048] Furthermore, the hatch 13 is located on one side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 420 and tool cabinet 500. The hatch 13 is an outward-opening hatch 13 used for opening and closing the cabin 10. The outward-opening hatch 13 does not compress the internal space, thus improving the overall space utilization of the cabin 10. In situations where there is a lot of equipment inside the cabin and the space is relatively narrow, the inward-opening door will not obstruct the operator's access, allowing the operator to open the hatch 13 more smoothly.
[0049] Figure 6 This is a left view of an atmospheric composition monitoring cabin according to an embodiment of the present invention. One side of the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin in this embodiment generally includes a maintenance ladder 600. The maintenance ladder 600 is disposed on the side wall opposite the cabin door 13, for personnel to access the top area of the cabin. The maintenance ladder 600 provides operators with a stable and reliable passage. Compared to using temporary ladders or other climbing equipment, the maintenance ladder 600 is installed in a fixed position, has a robust structure, and can effectively reduce the risk of operators working at heights, reducing the occurrence of accidents caused by unstable climbing.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin is also equipped with lifting points 700. Lifting points 700 are formed by the inward indentation of the four corners of the top of the cabin 10, used to facilitate lifting with hoisting equipment. The structural strength of lifting points 700 is sufficient to withstand the weight of the entire atmospheric composition monitoring cabin. The design of lifting points 700 should meet the lifting capacity of conventional ship and dock cranes, and take into account the weight and center of gravity of the cabin. Lifting is carried out using conventional container lifting methods to ensure uniform fixing and improve the mobility of on-site placement, deployment, and transportation. The six sides of the cabin adopt a reinforced frame structure, and in addition to the base twist-lock fixing, diagonal bracing and other mooring fixation are added to ensure the safety of the cabin.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, the atmospheric composition monitoring device 200 includes a black carbon monitor 210, an ozone analyzer 220, and an ozone calibrator 230. The black carbon monitor 210 accurately measures the concentration of black carbon in the atmosphere, helping to understand the degree of air pollution and pollution trends in the area, providing crucial data for environmental quality assessment. The ozone analyzer 220 can measure ozone in the atmosphere in real time and continuously, accurately providing ozone concentration values at different time points. For example, in environmental monitoring, it can help understand the ozone pollution status in different locations such as cities and industrial areas, providing crucial data for air quality assessment. The ozone calibrator 230 generates ozone gas of known and accurate concentrations for calibrating the ozone analyzer 220, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the ozone analyzer 220's measurement results, so that its measurement data truly reflects the actual concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
[0052] Furthermore, by integrating a black carbon monitor 210, an ozone analyzer 220, and an ozone calibrator 230 into the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin, simultaneous monitoring of multiple parameters can be achieved. This allows for the acquisition of concentration data and changes in various atmospheric components, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric environmental quality and the analysis of the interrelationships and influencing mechanisms among different components. For example, it enables research into whether there are interactions between black carbon and ozone during their formation and transformation in the atmosphere, and their combined impact on air quality and climate change.
[0053] Furthermore, the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200 may also include greenhouse gas detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Accurate monitoring of greenhouse gases allows for timely understanding of changes in their concentrations in the atmosphere, providing crucial data for studying climate change trends. Accurate monitoring of greenhouse gases also helps predict the rate and extent of global warming and facilitates corresponding countermeasures. Considering that carbon monoxide interacts with other pollutants, affecting the chemical properties of the atmosphere and air quality, monitoring carbon monoxide concentration helps understand the state and sources of air pollution, providing a basis for developing air pollution control strategies.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, the atmospheric composition monitoring cabin generally also includes a circuit system, which is connected to the ship's energy system and equipped with sockets. The ship's energy system typically has a stable power supply; connecting it to the cabin's circuit system ensures that the atmospheric composition monitoring equipment 200 receives continuous and stable power, preventing power fluctuations or interruptions from affecting the normal operation of monitoring work and guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of monitoring data. Furthermore, the addition of sockets facilitates the connection of various monitoring devices and other related instruments, making the layout of electrical equipment within the cabin more flexible. Staff can connect different devices at any time according to actual monitoring needs without worrying about insufficient power interfaces or unsuitable locations, improving the utilization efficiency of space and power resources within the cabin.
[0055] Furthermore, lighting and emergency lighting can be installed to provide staff with sufficient and uniform light, ensuring they can perform routine tasks such as equipment operation, data recording, and instrument maintenance under good visual conditions, thereby improving work efficiency and accuracy and reducing operational errors and safety hazards caused by insufficient light.
