Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to occupational health monitoring, specifically to an on-site detection device for nitrogen oxides in the air. Background Technology

[0002] Occupational health research involves identifying, assessing, predicting, and controlling occupational hazards and their health damage that arise or exist in the workplace. Its purpose is to protect workers' rights, improve safety and health during production processes, and prevent harm from harmful factors. Nitrogen oxide detection is one of the most common indicators in occupational health monitoring.

[0003] According to standards, nitrogen oxide testing in the occupational health field requires same-day determination, necessitating high timeliness. Current nitrogen oxide testing methods rely on on-site sampling and laboratory measurement. For long-distance sampling, methods such as outsourced testing or sample mailing are often used to meet timeliness requirements. Outsourced testing involves numerous management regulations and documentation requirements, including agreements, qualification verification of the outsourcing unit, and written consent from the tested unit, significantly increasing the workload of laboratories. Furthermore, some prefecture-level cities lack qualified testing institutions for outsourced testing, necessitating sample mailing. Occupational health sampling typically covers a work shift, ending around 5 or 6 PM, requiring testing personnel to be on call 24 hours a day to ensure sample validity upon delivery. Outsourced testing not only increases laboratory management workload but also incurs additional outsourced testing fees. Sample mailing requires 24-hour laboratory staff on standby, with samples processed immediately upon arrival, often involving overtime, further increasing mailing and overtime costs and workload for laboratory personnel. This not only increases testing costs but is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes an on-site detection device for nitrogen oxides in the air that is simple in structure, low in cost, easy to carry, convenient to operate, highly efficient, and accurate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an on-site detection device for nitrogen oxides in the air that is simple in structure, low in cost, easy to carry, convenient to operate, highly efficient, and accurate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A field detection device for nitrogen oxides in air includes a housing, a lid, an ultrapure water washing bottle, a syringe bulb, disposable droppers, sample tubes, spare tubes, an absorption bottle, a quality control sample bottle, a sampling control colorimetric card, a waste liquid recovery bottle, and a portable spectrophotometer. The housing and lid are hinged together. The housing contains a pretreatment area and a colorimetric area. The pretreatment area has a first base with 12-20 sample tube sockets, 2-4 spare tube sockets, a washing bottle holder, a syringe bulb storage area, and a dropper compartment. Sample tubes are inserted into their respective sockets, and spare tubes are inserted into their respective spare tube sockets. The ultrapure water washing bottle is placed on the washing bottle holder, and the syringe bulb is placed in the syringe bulb storage area. Disposable droppers... The tubes are placed in the dropper compartment; the colorimetric area includes a reagent and consumables area and an instrument station. The reagent and consumables area is equipped with a second base, which has a storage area for absorption liquid bottles, a storage area for quality control samples, a waste liquid recovery bottle holder, and a sampling control colorimetric card compartment. Absorption liquid bottles are placed in the absorption liquid bottle storage area, quality control sample bottles are placed in the quality control sample storage area, and waste liquid recovery bottles are placed on the waste liquid recovery bottle holder. The sampling control colorimetric card is arranged with 0.00μg, 0.25μg, 0.50μg, 1.00μg, 1.50μg, 2.50μg, and 3.50μg color cards. The sampling control colorimetric card is placed in the sampling control colorimetric card compartment. The portable spectrophotometer is placed on the instrument station.

[0008] Furthermore, the first base is provided with 16 sample tube sockets and 2 spare tube sockets.

[0009] Furthermore, the cap that mates with the ultrapure water washing bottle is a sealing cap or a curved cap.

[0010] Furthermore, the portable spectrophotometer has a built-in standard curve module, which is preset with a standard curve for nitrogen oxide content of 0-3.5 μg; the portable spectrophotometer has a nitrogen oxide standard curve recall button on its operating surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the portable spectrophotometer has a button for converting nitrogen oxide content detection results on its operating surface.

[0012] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0013] Prepare disposable droppers, sample tubes, ultrapure water, absorption liquid, and quality control samples according to the occupational health field survey and sampling and measurement plan for the required number of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to be detected. Ultrapure water wash bottles should be fitted with a sealed cap during normal use and a bent-nose cap during operation. After subtracting the blank with the absorption liquid, use the quality control sample to check the error of the built-in curve in the portable spectrophotometer. If the error is within the acceptable range, field testing can proceed; otherwise, the built-in curve needs to be reset before field testing. Sampling NOx is performed against the colorimetric card. Sampling is stopped when the color of the absorption liquid falls within the colorimetric card's range. Wash the inner wall of the inlet tube three times with the sampled absorption liquid using a disposable dropper, then transfer the NOx sample to the sample tube using a syringe rubber bulb. Following the portable spectrophotometer's operating instructions, perform colorimetric analysis on the NOx sample and quality control sample after subtracting the blank with the absorption liquid. During colorimetric analysis, utilize the built-in standard curve module and result conversion function of the portable spectrophotometer, which has a preset NOx content of 0-3.5 μg, to directly calculate the NOx content.

[0014] Advantages and effects of this utility model:

[0015] This utility model is a field testing kit designed strictly in accordance with testing standards and references laboratory testing procedures. The ultrapure water wash bottle of this utility model is a laboratory-specific wash bottle equipped with a screw cap, facilitating switching between transportation and experimental use, and is easy to carry. Absorption solutions and quality control samples can be prepared in advance, significantly reducing the time spent on blank deduction and curve verification during on-site testing, thereby improving testing efficiency. The sampling control colorimetric card avoids the need for dilution when sample concentration exceeds the measurement range, saving sample pretreatment time. The portable spectrophotometer has a built-in and calibrated nitrogen oxide standard curve before sampling, allowing direct calculation of nitrogen oxide content based on absorbance, making operation convenient and results accurate.

[0016] This invention not only solves the problem of expired samples for nitrogen oxide detection in the field of occupational health over long distances, but also reduces expenses such as sample delivery, sample shipping, and overtime costs, thereby reducing the workload of laboratory personnel who do not need to be on call 24 hours a day. At the same time, it can also provide a methodological basis for on-site testing for occupational health supervision and inspection. Attached Figure Description
