Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical path gas chamber technology, specifically an optical path gas chamber for laboratory use. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratory optical path length chambers are core components commonly used in the field of optical detection, primarily for experiments such as gas composition analysis and light absorption characteristic research. Their performance directly affects the accuracy and stability of detection. Traditional chamber designs often suffer from problems such as inconvenient optical path adjustment, insufficient structural stability, and poor gas sealing. For example, some chambers use fixed mirror structures, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the optical path length according to experimental needs, thus limiting the equipment's versatility. Sliding parts often use rigid connections, which are prone to adjustment jamming due to mechanical wear after long-term use, affecting the alignment accuracy of the optical path. The sealing design between the chamber body and the external interface is imperfect, easily leading to gas leakage or the intrusion of external impurities, interfering with the accuracy of the detection results. At the same time, traditional chambers have weak heat dissipation performance, and the internal temperature rise after long-term operation may cause the performance of optical components to drift. Furthermore, the support structure lacks a buffer design, which can easily cause optical path offset under vibration of the experimental platform, reducing the reliability of detection.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a laboratory optical path gas chamber includes a gas chamber body 1. A gas inlet interface 9, a photodetector interface 10, and a gas outlet interface 5 are sequentially fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the gas chamber body 1. A laser emission window 13 is provided through the lower outer wall of the gas chamber body 1. Support feet 6 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the gas chamber body 1, and anti-slip pads 20 are adhered to the bottom of the support feet 6. A push rod drive seat 8 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the gas chamber body 1 by bolts. The side of the push rod drive seat 8 away from the gas chamber body 1 is sealed by an end cap connector 4. A reflector adjustment knob 3 is embedded in the other outer wall of the gas chamber body 1. A thermally conductive silicone pad 16 is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the gas chamber body 1. Reflector brackets 14 are symmetrically welded to both ends of the inside of the gas chamber body 1. A reflector 11 is fixed to the inner side of the reflector bracket 14 by a buckle.
[0016] In this utility model, preferably, a sliding guide rail 15 is bolted to the upper inner side of the gas chamber body 1 along the length direction, a sliding block 12 is slidably connected, and a support rod 17 is vertically welded to the top. The bolt fixing improves the installation stability, and the sliding fit enables high-precision adjustment. A spring 18 is welded to one side of the support rod 17 and hooked to a push rod 19. The push rod 19 passes through the side wall of the gas chamber body 1 and is engaged with the push rod drive seat 8. The spring 18 buffers the driving force to prevent component deformation. A sealing ring is provided at the penetration point to prevent air leakage. Lubricant is applied to the contact surface between the sliding block 12 and the sliding guide rail 15 to reduce wear. A detector mounting seat 7 is welded to the other side of the gas chamber body 1, and a light source emission port 2 is embedded on the outer side, with its central axis collinear with the laser emission window 13 to ensure the coaxiality of the optical path and improve detection accuracy. To improve accuracy, a sealing ring is installed at the connection between the detector mounting base 7 and the gas chamber body 1 to enhance sealing. The light source emission port 2 is covered with dustproof glass to protect the optical surface. The output shaft of the reflector adjustment knob 3 passes through the side wall and is rotatably connected to the back of the reflector 11 to achieve fine angle adjustment to meet the needs of multiple optical paths. The gas inlet interface 9 and the gas outlet interface 5 are connected to the internal cavity to ensure gas flow efficiency. The photoelectric detector interface 10 is connected to external equipment through wires to ensure stable signal transmission. A sealing ring is installed at the connection between the push rod 19 and the gas chamber body 1 to prevent air leakage. The sliding block 12 and the sliding guide rail 15 are coated with grease to reduce friction. A sealing ring is installed at the connection between the detector mounting base 7 and the gas chamber body 1. The light source emission port 2 is covered with dustproof glass to reduce optical interference.
[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: In use, the laser source is first aligned with the light source emission port 2 to emit laser light. The laser beam passes through the internal cavity of the gas chamber body 1, and after multiple reflections by the reflector 11, it exits from the laser emission window 13. During this process, the tilt angle of the reflector 11 can be finely adjusted in real time by rotating the reflector adjustment knob 3, thereby optimizing the optical path to adapt to different experimental needs. The experimental gas enters the gas chamber body 1 through the gas inlet interface 9. During gas flow, an external photodetector connected to the photodetector interface 10 monitors the change in light intensity after the laser passes through the gas in real time. The exhaust gas after measurement is completed is discharged through the gas outlet interface 5. When the optical path length needs to be adjusted, the push rod drive seat 8 is activated, and its output end drives the push rod 19 to move axially. The push rod 19 acts on the support rod 17 through the hooked spring 18, thereby pushing the sliding block 12 to slide linearly along the sliding guide rail 15. The movement of the sliding block 12 changes the distance between the reflectors 11, thereby adjusting the optical path length. After adjustment, the push rod drive seat 8 is closed. The elastic restoring force of the spring 18 can maintain the relative position lock of the sliding block 12 and the sliding guide rail 15, ensuring optical path stability. The thermally conductive silicone pad 16 attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the gas chamber body 1 evenly transfers the heat of the external temperature control equipment to the inside of the gas chamber, keeping the cavity in a constant temperature environment and avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuations on optical detection accuracy. The passage between the push rod 19 and the gas chamber body 1 is sealed with a sealing ring to prevent gas leakage. The contact surface between the sliding block 12 and the sliding guide rail 15 is coated with grease to reduce frictional resistance. A sealing ring is set at the connection between the detector mounting seat 7 and the gas chamber body 1 to enhance the overall sealing performance. The dustproof glass covering the outside of the light source emission port 2 can prevent external dust from contaminating the optical surface. These structural designs together ensure the stability and reliability of the gas chamber in long-term use.
