[0018] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, an automatic sampling device for a carbon dioxide concentration meter includes a housing 1. A controller 2 is located on the right side of the front end of the housing 1. The controller 2 can be of model S7-1200. Any existing controller 2 capable of performing this function can be used, without limitation. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the air pump 19 and the concentration meter body 20. The controller 2 can control the start and stop of the air pump 19 and the data acquisition and processing of the concentration meter body 20. The data on the display screen of the concentration meter body can be observed through the observation glass 4. A rectangular opening 3 is formed through the middle of the front end of the housing 1, and the observation glass 4 is located inside the rectangular opening 3. A processing box 5 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the housing 1. The front end of the processing box 5 has three limiting grooves 6. Each of the three movable frames 7 has an internal movable frame 7. Inside the movable frame 7, there is a supporting grid to support the activated carbon 9 and molecular sieve 10, ensuring sufficient strength and stability and uniformly distributing the weight of the activated carbon 9 and molecular sieve 10. The movable frame 7 is plugged into the limiting groove 6, and a sealing gasket is provided between the movable frame 7 and the limiting groove 6 to ensure that the gas inside the treatment box 5 does not leak from the connection between the movable frame 7 and the limiting groove 6. A handle 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable frame 7. The three movable frames 7 contain, from right to left, activated carbon 9, molecular sieve 10 and gas separation membrane 11. Activated carbon 9 has a highly developed pore structure and a large specific surface area, which enables it to separate organic gases and some inorganic gases in the mixed gas through van der Waals forces. The adsorption on its surface reduces the content of impurity gases in the mixed gas, minimizing potential interference with carbon dioxide detection. Molecular sieve 10 is a 5A molecular sieve; the charge distribution and pore structure of the 5A molecular sieve 10 surface can adsorb gases such as nitrogen and oxygen in the mixed gas. When the mixed gas, after preliminary purification by activated carbon 9 and molecular sieve 10, passes through the gas separation membrane 11 under pressure difference, carbon dioxide has a relatively high permeability to this membrane and can preferentially pass through, while other residual impurity gases have difficulty passing through. This further separates carbon dioxide from other impurity gases, greatly improving the purity of carbon dioxide entering the concentration meter body 20 and minimizing interference from other gases on carbon dioxide concentration detection, thereby significantly improving... To ensure the accuracy of the test results, an air pump 19 is installed on the left side inside the housing 1. The lower end of the air pump 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1. A concentration meter body 20 is fixedly connected to the front end of the housing 1. The concentration meter body 20 receives samples from the first connecting tube 17 and the second connecting tube 21, and uses its internal detection technology to accurately measure the carbon dioxide concentration in the sample. During the measurement process, the signal processing circuit inside the concentration meter converts the detected physical signal into an electrical signal, and performs amplification, filtering, and other processing, finally displaying the carbon dioxide concentration value in digital form on the display screen. The input end of the air pump 19 is fixedly connected to the first connecting tube 17, and a second support block 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first connecting tube 17.The right end of the second support block 18 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the housing 1. The right end of the first connecting pipe 17 is connected to the interior of the processing box 5. The output end of the air pump 19 is fixedly connected to the second connecting pipe 21, and the right end of the second connecting pipe 21 is connected to the input end of the concentration meter body 20.

[0020] Reference Figures 3-4 As shown, the output end of the concentration meter body 20 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 22. A third support block 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outlet pipe 22. The lower end of the third support block 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner part of the housing 1. The left end of the outlet pipe 22 extends to the outside of the housing 1. A second valve 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outlet pipe 22. The right end of the processing box 5 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 12. A first support block 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet pipe 12. The lower end of the first support block 16 is connected to the housing 1. The upper end of the inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the gas collection hood 13. The upper end of the gas collection hood 13 is fixedly connected to the filter plate 14. The filter plate 14 can prevent large solid impurities from accumulating on the activated carbon 9, molecular sieve 10 and gas separation membrane 11 by pre-intercepting large solid particles. This allows the activated carbon 9, molecular sieve 10 and gas separation membrane 11 to focus more on the adsorption and separation of various molecules in the gas. The outer surface of the inlet pipe 12 and the lower side of the gas collection hood 13 are fixedly installed with a first valve 15.

[0021] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, place the device in a suitable area, then open the first valve 15. Next, the controller 2 controls the air pump 19 to start, generating suction. The filter plate 14 blocks large dust particles from entering, while simultaneously transporting external gas through the gas collection hood 13 and the inlet pipe 12 into the processing chamber 5. The processing chamber 5 contains activated carbon 9, a molecular sieve 10, and a gas separation membrane 11. First, the activated carbon 9 adsorbs organic gases and some inorganic gases in the mixed gas through van der Waals forces, thereby reducing the content of these impurity gases. Then, the molecular sieve 10 further removes nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, etc., from the mixed gas, while allowing carbon dioxide to pass through smoothly. Finally, the gas separation membrane 11 achieves fine separation, significantly reducing the content of gases other than carbon dioxide, thus significantly improving the purity of carbon dioxide. The treated carbon dioxide then enters the concentration meter body 20 through the first connecting pipe 17 and the second connecting pipe 21. The concentration meter body 20 detects the carbon dioxide concentration in this area. After detection, the second valve 23 is opened, and the carbon dioxide is discharged from the outlet pipe 22.

[0022] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
