Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, specifically, a three-in-one laser environmental monitoring sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of the synergistic development of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), integrated environmental sensors have become a key carrier for technological upgrading and a new trend in industry development. To achieve a comprehensive assessment of air quality, these sensors not only need to monitor particulate matter concentrations (especially PM2.5) in real time, but also accurately capture changes in temperature and humidity in the environment. By acquiring this crucial data, we can gain a more accurate understanding of air quality, thereby providing more scientific and reasonable suggestions for improving people's living and working environments.
[0003] The current mainstream technical solution adopts a design architecture that directly integrates the temperature and humidity module onto the motherboard of the laser particulate sensor to achieve multi-functional monitoring. However, this integration method has certain problems. First, there are structural design defects: built-in integration is limited by the sensor package size, resulting in a more complex layout and spatial structure; external combination requires additional protective structures, further increasing system complexity. Second, there is the problem of thermal interference: internal heat-generating components (such as the laser driving circuit) generate a temperature rise effect, causing baseline drift in temperature and humidity measurements, which cannot meet the requirements of high-precision measurement.

[0032] Definitions:
[0033] An LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) is a voltage regulator that maintains a small voltage difference between the input and output voltages and stabilizes the output voltage linearly.
[0034] PCBA stands for Printed Circuit Board Assembly, which refers to a complete circuit board after all electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors, chips, sensors, etc.) have been soldered and assembled on a PCB (blank circuit board).
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] This embodiment provides a three-in-one laser environment monitoring sensor, specifically as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a housing, on which a PCBA203 and a fan 207 are mounted. A temperature and humidity detection module and a particulate matter detection module are mounted on the PCBA203. Both the temperature and humidity detection module and the particulate matter detection module are existing technologies. The temperature and humidity detection module is a purchased product. The working principle of the particulate matter detection module is the same as that of our company's existing patented product (a laser air particulate matter sensor CN208399327U), so it will not be described in detail here.
[0037] The housing is provided with an air duct that connects the exhaust port 102, the air inlet 104, and the diversion port 208 on the housing. The fan 207 is installed at the exhaust port 102. The air duct includes a guide air duct, a main air duct 210, and a secondary air duct 211. One end of the guide air duct is connected to the air inlet 104, and the other end is connected to the diversion port 208. One end of the main air duct 210 and the secondary air duct 211 are both connected to the exhaust port 102, and the other end of both are connected to the diversion port 208. The main air duct 210 is used for particulate matter detection module to perform detection. The secondary air duct 211 is used to actively exhaust the heat generated by the particulate matter detection module.
[0038] The housing includes:
[0039] Upper shell assembly 10, the upper shell assembly 10 includes an upper shell 101, and the exhaust port 102 and the air inlet port 104 are disposed on the upper shell 101;
[0040] Frame 20, the frame 20 includes a frame body 201, the PCBA 203 and the fan 207 are mounted on the frame body 201; the shunt port 208 is disposed on the frame body 201;
[0041] Lower shell assembly 30, the lower shell assembly 30 including lower shell 301;
[0042] The frame 201 is provided with an air duct partition, which cooperates with the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 301 to form the air duct, the main air duct 210 and the secondary air duct 211.
[0043] When this device is in use, fan 207 is activated. At this time, fan 207 discharges the airflow in the duct from the exhaust port 102 to the housing, while negative pressure is generated at the air inlet 104 to draw in outside air. The airflow path is as follows: intake at air inlet 104 → flows through the temperature and humidity detection module at air inlet 104 → flows through the air duct to the splitter port 208 → begins to split, part flows through the main air duct 210, and part flows through the secondary air duct 211 → finally merges at fan 207 → and is discharged from exhaust port 102. During this period, the temperature and humidity detection module acquires the temperature and humidity data of the outside air; then, when flowing through the main air duct 210, the particulate matter detection module acquires the particulate matter content data of the outside air, while the airflow flowing through the secondary air duct 211 blows away the heat generated by the particulate matter detection module.
[0044] Since the main air duct 210 and the secondary air duct 211 have different cross-sectional sizes, they can be manufactured and adjusted according to the actual application scenario. The flow ratio of the main air duct 210 to the secondary air duct 211 can be selected as 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, etc. In this embodiment, it is preferred that about 70% of the air flows through the main air duct 210. Dust particles generate a scattered light signal related to particle size under laser irradiation, which is then converted into an electrical signal by a photosensitive element, and the particle mass concentration is obtained by an algorithm. About 30% of the air flows through the secondary air duct 211. By actively cooling the heat-generating parts in the particulate matter detection module, the operating temperature of key components is ensured to be stable.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] This embodiment further extends the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 2As shown, the temperature and humidity detection module includes a temperature and humidity sensor 205, and the particulate matter detection module includes an LDO 204, a laser emitter 206, and a photoelectric conversion unit. The temperature and humidity sensor 205, the LDO 204, the laser emitter 206, and the photoelectric conversion unit are all connected to the PCBA 203. The LDO 204 and the laser emitter 206 are located on the secondary air duct 211, and the temperature and humidity sensor 205 is located at the air inlet hole 104.
[0047] By arranging the LDO 204, the laser emitter 206, and the photoelectric conversion unit in the secondary air duct 211, the airflow can effectively carry away the heat generated during their operation, ensuring the stability of their operating temperature.
[0048] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be elaborated here.
[0049] Embodiment 3:
[0050] This embodiment is further extended based on the above embodiment, specifically as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown. A heat insulation structure is provided on the PCBA 203, and the heat insulation structure is used to block the heat directly transferred from the PCBA 203 to the temperature and humidity sensor 205.
[0051] Preferably, the heat insulation structure is a heat insulation groove 209. The heat insulation groove 209 is located outside the temperature and humidity sensor 205, and the heat insulation groove 209 is a "匚"-shaped non-closed notch.
[0052] Preferably, the heat insulation structure is a heat insulation groove 209. The heat insulation groove 209 is located outside the temperature and humidity sensor 205, and the heat insulation groove 209 is a "C"-shaped non-closed notch.
[0053] By providing the heat insulation groove 209, the heat conduction path on the PCBA 203 is effectively blocked, reducing the influence of heat diffusion on the temperature and humidity sensor 205. The shape of the heat insulation groove 209 can be adaptively changed according to different specifications of the temperature and humidity sensor 205 used.
[0054] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be elaborated here.
[0055] Embodiment 4:
[0056] This embodiment is further extended based on the above embodiment, specifically as Figure 2 shown. A heat insulation structure is provided on the upper housing 101, and the heat insulation structure is used to reduce the influence of heat radiation on the temperature and humidity sensor 205.
[0057] Preferably, the heat insulation structure is a grooved baffle 103, which surrounds the temperature and humidity sensor 205.
[0058] By utilizing the structural design of groove baffles 103 with different shapes, the impact of heat radiation on temperature and humidity sensor 205 is reduced, thereby improving equipment stability.
[0059] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0060] Example 5:
[0061] This embodiment further extends the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, both the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 301 are detachably connected to the frame 201. Disassembly and assembly can be completed using clips and bolts.
[0062] Preferably, the frame 20 further includes an elastic element 202, which is respectively disposed between the frame 201 and the lower shell 301 and the upper shell 101.
[0063] By setting the elastic element 202, the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 30 are always subjected to a spring force away from the frame 20. When it is necessary to disassemble the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 30, after unscrewing the fixing screws, the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 301 will automatically separate from the frame 201 under the action of the elastic element 202, reducing the difficulty of disassembly. In this embodiment, the elastic element 202 is preferably a spring.
[0064] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
