[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a portable gas monitoring and alarm device is disclosed, including an upper cover 1, on which two copper hanging rings 9 are symmetrically fixedly connected.

[0027] The top of the upper cover 1 houses the display components, while the internal components contain the communication components. The upper cover 1 is made of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material. PEEK material possesses excellent high-temperature resistance (withstanding temperatures up to 260℃), chemical corrosion resistance (resisting the erosion of various strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents), high strength (tensile strength exceeding 90MPa), and good insulation properties. The upper part primarily houses the core control circuitry and some sensor components of the gas detector alarm. Its material properties provide reliable protection for the internal precision electronic components, effectively preventing circuit failures and sensor damage caused by high temperatures, chemical substances, and other factors, thereby ensuring stable instrument operation and detection accuracy.

[0028] The display component includes a waterproof glass 10, which is sealed and fixedly embedded in the top of the upper cover 1. A display panel 11 is provided below the waterproof glass 10 and is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1. The communication component includes a LoRa board 12, a 4G board 13, and an interface board 14 from top to bottom, and the LoRa board 12, the 4G board 13, and the interface board 14 are all fixedly connected to the upper cover 1.

[0029] The bottom of the upper cover 1 is threadedly sealed with an intermediate housing 5, which is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight (density approximately 2.7 g / cm³). 3 It boasts advantages such as high strength (yield strength can reach over 200MPa) and excellent heat dissipation. The aluminum alloy middle section, while ensuring the structural strength of the instrument, also effectively dissipates heat generated during operation due to its superior heat dissipation properties, preventing excessive internal temperature from affecting instrument performance.

[0030] An alarm plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the intermediate housing 5. Multiple high-brightness LEDs 2 and two high-decibel buzzers are evenly fixedly connected to the top of the alarm plate 18. Multiple through holes 7 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the intermediate housing 5, extending into the interior. Each through hole 7 is sealed to an adjacent high-brightness LED 2 and high-decibel buzzer. The LEDs 2 are red and clearly visible even in low-light environments. The high-decibel buzzers emit a sharp alarm sound with a volume exceeding 80dB, ensuring that the user's attention is drawn even in noisy environments.

[0031] The battery compartment 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the intermediate housing 5. The battery compartment 15 adopts a special sealing design and is equipped with waterproof and dustproof rubber gaskets to ensure that the battery 8 can work stably in various harsh environments (such as high humidity, dusty environments, etc.). The battery compartment 15 is equipped with the battery 8, which is a disposable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3.6V / 6000mAh, which can meet the power needs of the instrument for 8-12 hours of continuous operation. The outer surface of the intermediate housing 5 is detachably sealed and fixed with a compartment cover 4 corresponding to the battery compartment 15. The compartment cover 4 is fixed with screws, which makes it convenient for users to replace the battery 8.

[0032] A button 3 is fixedly embedded on one side of the outer surface of the middle shell 5. The button 3 is ergonomically designed, and its position and shape have been carefully considered to facilitate user operation. It can be easily pressed even when wearing gloves. The button 3 has obvious tactile feedback, and there is a clear feel when it is pressed and released, which can effectively avoid accidental operation.

[0033] The bottom of the intermediate housing 5 is threadedly sealed with a detection filter cup 6. The detection filter cup 6 is made of stainless steel using an advanced sintering process, and has a uniform pore structure. The pore size can be precisely controlled according to actual testing needs, generally between 60-100μm. The detection filter cup 6 is mainly used to filter impurities in the air, such as dust and particulate matter.

[0034] A sensor plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the internal part of the detection filter cup 6. A sensor control plate 16 is provided above the sensor plate 17 and is fixedly connected to the detection filter cup 6. A catalytic combustion sensor, an electrochemical sensor, and an electrochemical oxygen sensor are integrated and fixed on the sensor plate 17.

[0035] I. Gas Sampling and Filtration

[0036] Ambient gas enters the device through the micropores (60-100μm) of the detection filter cup 6, filtering out dust, particulate matter and other impurities to avoid contaminating the sensor.

[0037] The filtered gas diffuses evenly within the detection filter cup 6, making full contact with the multiple gas sensors on the sensor plate 17.

[0038] II. Sensor board 17 integrates multiple gas sensors, employing different detection principles.

[0039] Catalytic combustion sensor: Combustible gas undergoes an oxidation reaction (combustion) on the platinum wire catalytic layer on the sensor surface, generating heat. The heat causes a change in the resistance of the platinum wire, and the resistance difference is measured by a Wheatstone bridge and converted into a gas concentration signal (0% to 100% LEL).

[0040] Electrochemical sensor: Taking CO detection as an example: The gas undergoes an oxidation reaction at the sensor's working electrode (CO + H₂O → CO₂ + 2H₂O). + +2e - This generates a microcurrent. The magnitude of the current is proportional to the gas concentration, and after processing by an amplification circuit, it outputs a signal (0–1000 ppm).

[0041] Electrochemical oxygen sensor: Oxygen is reduced at the cathode (O2 + 4H2O) + +4e - →2H2O) generates a current signal. The oxygen concentration (0%~25%VOL) is calculated by measuring the current value, and an alarm is triggered when there is oxygen deficiency or oxygen enrichment.

[0042] III. Data Processing and Display

[0043] The analog signal output from sensor board 17 is filtered and amplified by sensor control board 16, and then converted into a digital signal. The data is transmitted to LoRa board 12 / 4G board 13 through interface board 14 inside upper cover 1.

[0044] The microprocessor on the sensor control board 16 analyzes the concentration value and compares it with a preset threshold (such as a CO alarm value of 50 ppm). The processed data is displayed in real time on the display board 11 under the waterproof glass 10, and the interface allows switching between different gas parameters.

[0045] IV. Alarm and Remote Communication

[0046] When the gas concentration exceeds the threshold, the sensor control board 16 transmits the data to the alarm board 18. The high-brightness LED 2 on the alarm board 18 emits red light through the through-hole 7, making it visible from all 360°. A high-decibel buzzer (>80dB) emits an intermittent beeping sound to alert personnel on site.

[0047] 4G network: Data is uploaded to the cloud platform via 4G board 13, supporting monitoring via mobile APP / PC.

[0048] LORA self-organizing network: When there is no 4G signal, it can form a network with other devices through the LORA board 12 to achieve local area data sharing.

[0049] V. Power Supply

[0050] Battery 8 supplies power to all the components.
