Description
Automatic calibration device, calibration robot and calibration method TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sensor calibration, in particular to an automatic calibration device, a calibration robot and a calibration method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The gas sensor is an important component of the coal mine safety monitoring system, and its accuracy and reliability of measurement directly affect whether the coal mine can operate safely and reliably, and plays a crucial role in the safety production of the coal mine. Due to the harsh environment and complex gas environment in the coal mine, the gas sensor is prone to measurement deviation, and the gas sensor in use needs to be calibrated periodically. The coal mine underground sensor needs to be calibrated periodically, and inaccurate detection, false alarm and other problems caused by non-calibration and abnormal calibration seriously affect the production and maintenance cost of the coal mine.
[0003] At present, the common calibration devices have two types of air bags and gas cylinders, and the calibration work is mainly manually performed by the staff. The whole process is tedious, labor-intensive and time-consuming. In the traditional way, the calibration personnel are replaced, not calibrated, missed calibrated, and mis-calibrated, which often occurs. This method can only standardize the sensor calibration from the management, and in actual situations, it is also greatly related to the responsibility and experience of the calibration personnel, which leads to frequent errors in the calibration data of the sensor, and easily causes system false alarm or power failure during calibration, which is not conducive to maintenance and management.
[0004] The Chinese patent with application number 202211080360.8 proposes a method for zero point calibration and gas calibration of a gas sensor. There are the following deficiencies:
[0005] 1. The traditional calibration device has two built-in gas cylinders, namely a standard gas cylinder and a detection gas cylinder. The maintenance personnel connect the standard gas cylinder and the detection gas cylinder respectively to realize calibration, but this calibration method is more troublesome, the complexity of calibration is high, and the workload of the maintenance personnel is large.
[0006] 2. In actual calibration, the consumption of standard gas is much larger than that of zero gas, and zero gas is often not consumed. The number of calibratable sensors in a single calibration operation in the mine is directly determined by the standard gas, and there is a waste problem of gas in the zero gas cylinder.
[0007] 3. The traditional calibration device cannot correct the environmental parameters, and it is also difficult to correct the gas concentration.
[0008] 4. The existing wired transmission type mine sensor has a navigation plug, but only power supply, data uploading and data downloading to the monitoring system can be provided through the navigation plug, without wireless function. The data cannot be interacted with other devices, and automatic calibration cannot be realized.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0075] The application discloses an automatic calibration device, a calibration robot and a calibration method.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 1, an automatic calibration device comprises a gas supply module, a control module 7, a detection module and a monitoring module, the gas supply module comprises a gas cylinder assembly 2, the detection module comprises a flow control assembly 3 and a gas sensor 6, the gas cylinder assembly 2 provides a gas source required for calibration, generally provides two kinds of gases, one is a zero calibration gas, and the other is a linear calibration gas. The gas cylinder assembly 2 comprises a gas cylinder one 21, a gas cylinder two 22, a pressure gauge one and a pressure reducing valve one 23 arranged in sequence at an outlet of the gas cylinder one 21, a pressure gauge two and a pressure reducing valve two 27 arranged in sequence at an outlet of the gas cylinder two 22, the pressure gauge is used to indicate the residual pressure of the gas in the gas cylinder, the pressure reducing valve one 23 and the pressure reducing valve two 27 can adopt a two-stage constant pressure pressure reducing valve, which is used to reduce the gas pressure at the outlet of the gas cylinder one 21 or the gas cylinder two 22 and output a constant gas pressure, in the embodiment, the output gas pressure is limited in the range of 0.15-0.2 MPa, which is convenient for the use of rear-end parts. The gas sensor 6 is convenient for detecting the concentration of the gas. The linear calibration gas can be filled with mixed gas, for example, methane and carbon monoxide gas, so that one bottle of gas can be used to simultaneously perform linear calibration on the methane sensor and the carbon monoxide sensor. Pure nitrogen or clean air is generally selected for calibrating the methane sensor and the carbon monoxide sensor. The material of the gas cylinder is mainly aluminum alloy and carbon fiber.
[0077] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the gas cylinder one 21 outputs zero point calibration gas, namely zero gas, and the gas cylinder two 22 outputs linear calibration gas, namely calibration gas.
[0078] Referring to FIG. 2, the flow control assembly 3 includes a zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34, a calibration gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35, a zero gas flow sensor 36 and a calibration gas flow sensor 37. One end of the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34 is connected with the pressure reducing valve one 23, and the other end is connected with the zero gas flow sensor 36. The zero gas flow sensor 36 is connected with the gas concentration sensor 6. One end of the calibration gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35 is connected with the pressure reducing valve two 27, and the other end is connected with the calibration gas flow sensor 37. The calibration gas flow sensor 37 is connected with the gas concentration sensor 6. Through the zero gas flow controller, the calibration gas flow controller, the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34 and the calibration gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35, the accurate output of the zero gas and the calibration gas is realized. Then, through the gas concentration sensor 6, the gas concentration is monitored. The double-way flow control unit is adopted to realize the automatic setting and self-checking of the gas concentration of the two-way gas circuit, and then the accuracy of the calibration is improved.
[0079] Specifically, the pressure reducing valve one 23 and the pressure reducing valve two 27 can both adopt constant pressure type pressure reducing valves to ensure that the gas outlet pressure of the zero gas cylinder and the calibration gas cylinder is constant. The gas outlet pressure will not be affected by the reduction of the cylinder pressure. When the cylinder pressure is reduced to the gas outlet pressure, the gas cylinder stops discharging. In this embodiment, the gas outlet pressure is set to 0.15 MPa.
[0080] The electromagnetic proportional valve is adopted as the flow proportional control unit. Referring to FIG. 3, under the condition that the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the electromagnetic proportional valve is constant, the driving current is proportional to the output flow. The electromagnetic proportional valve is driven by a PWM pulse signal. By controlling the duty cycle of the PWM pulse, the average driving current of the proportional valve port can be controlled, and then the purpose of controlling the flow is achieved.
[0081] The flow sensor is adopted as the flow detection unit. In this embodiment, the flow sensor is built-in with a temperature and pressure compensation module, and outputs a 0-VDC signal to realize the accurate measurement and digital feedback of the mass flow. Before use, the flow sensor can be calibrated by a float flowmeter to realize the accurate measurement of the volume flow. During work, the flow sensor feeds back the flow measurement data to the control module 7. The control module 7 adjusts the PWM pulse of the electromagnetic valve according to the PID control algorithm, and then realizes the automatic control of the flow. In this embodiment, the control module 7 can adopt a single-chip microcomputer.
[0082] The gas concentration sensor 6 is used as a gas concentration detection unit. The measurement accuracy and stability of the gas concentration sensor 6 are much higher than those of the calibrated sensor. The calibrated sensor can be reserved with a calibration gas inlet to be calibrated with standard gas periodically. The gas concentration sensor 6 is used to measure the actual gas concentration of the mixed zero gas and standard gas, and the concentration measurement data is fed back to the control module 7. The control module 7 completes the linear calibration of the calibrated sensor according to the ventilation flow, gas concentration, and ventilation time. In addition, during the setting stage, the control module 7 can open the electromagnetic valves of the zero gas and the standard gas respectively, and the gas concentration sensor 6 can be used to detect the concentration of the two gas paths, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic setting and self-checking of the gas concentration of the two gas paths.
[0083] In the embodiment, the one-way valve 61 is preferably provided with two, one of which is arranged between the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34 and the zero gas flow sensor 36, and the other is arranged between the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35 and the standard gas flow sensor 37. In the embodiment, the filter 62 is preferably provided with two, one of which is arranged between the pressure reducing valve one 23 and the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34, and the other is arranged between the pressure reducing valve two 27 and the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35.
[0084] A gas mixing method based on the automatic calibration device comprises the following steps:
[0085] S1, the zero gas cylinder supplies zero gas to the pressure reducing valve one 23, and the pressure reducing valve one 23 outputs zero gas with constant pressure. At the same time, the standard gas cylinder supplies standard gas to the pressure reducing valve two 27, and the pressure reducing valve two 27 outputs zero gas with constant pressure. At this time, the control module 7 opens the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34 and the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35 respectively, and the gas concentration sensor 6 detects the concentration of the two gas paths, so as to realize the automatic setting and self-checking of the gas concentration of the two gas paths.
[0086] S2, then the zero gas flow sensor 36 monitors the flow output by the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34, and feeds back the signal to the control module 7, and the control module 7 controls the flow output by the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34.
[0087] S3, the standard gas flow sensor 37 monitors the flow output by the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35, and feeds back the signal to the control module 7, and the control module 7 controls the flow output by the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35.
[0088] S4, the gas concentration sensor 6 monitors the concentration of the zero gas and the standard gas output by the zero gas electromagnetic proportional valve 34 and the standard gas electromagnetic proportional valve 35, and transmits the signal to the control module 7, and the control module 7 completes the linear calibration of the calibrated sensor according to the ventilation flow, gas concentration, and ventilation time.
[0089] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the flow control assembly 3 comprises a zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38, a standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39, a total electromagnetic proportional valve 391, and a total flow sensor 392. One end of the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38 is connected to the pressure-reducing valve 1 23, and the other end is connected to the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391. One end of the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39 is connected to the pressure-reducing valve 2 27, and the other end is connected to the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391. The total electromagnetic proportional valve 391 is connected to the total flow sensor 392, and the total flow sensor 392 is connected to the gas concentration sensor 6. The dual-path flow switching unit and the single-path flow control unit are realized by the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38, the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39, and the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391. While realizing gas mixing and output, two low-cost electromagnetic on-off valves are used to replace a set of high-cost electromagnetic proportional valve and flow controller, thereby greatly reducing the cost and difficulty of industrialization.
[0090] In the embodiment, two one-way valves 61 are preferably provided. One is arranged between the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38 and the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391, and the other is arranged between the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39 and the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391. In the embodiment, two filters 62 are preferably provided. One is arranged between the pressure-reducing valve 1 23 and the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38, and the other is arranged between the pressure-reducing valve 2 27 and the electromagnetic on-off valve.

[0092] S1, the zero-gas cylinder supplies zero gas to the pressure-reducing valve 1 23, and the pressure-reducing valve 1 23 outputs zero gas at a constant pressure. At the same time, the standard-gas cylinder supplies zero gas to the pressure-reducing valve 2 27, and the pressure-reducing valve 2 27 outputs zero gas at a constant pressure. At this time, the control module 7 opens the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38 and the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39 in turn, and uses the gas concentration sensor 6 to detect the concentrations of the two gas paths, thereby realizing automatic setting and self-checking of the gas concentrations of the two gas paths.
[0093] S2, the zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38 outputs zero gas at a fixed flow rate, and the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39 outputs standard gas at a fixed flow rate. The zero-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 38 and the standard-gas electromagnetic on-off valve 39 are controlled by pulse width modulation. When the frequency is constant, the duty cycle of the driving voltage PWM control signal is changed to realize the flow proportional function of the on-off electromagnetic valve.
[0094] S3, the total flow sensor 392 monitors the flow rate of the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391 and feeds back the signal to the control module 7, and the control module 7 controls the flow rate of the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391 to realize stable output control of the flow rate.
[0095] S4, the gas concentration sensor 6 monitors the concentration of zero gas and standard gas output by the total electromagnetic proportional valve 391, and transmits signals to the control module 7, and the control module 7 completes the linear calibration of the calibrated sensor according to the ventilation flow, gas concentration and ventilation time.
[0096] The control module 7 includes a processor 71, a positioning module 72, a display screen 73, an alarm 75, a connection module, a power sensor 77 and an environmental sensor 78. The alarm 75 of the control module 7 is used for alarm prompt, which can include light alarm 75 and sound alarm 75. The environmental sensor 78 is used to detect the external environment, which can include temperature sensor, pressure sensor, humidity sensor, etc. Based on the parameters of the environmental sensor 78, the volume flow output of the flow control module 7 can be compensated for temperature, humidity and pressure.
[0097] The positioning module 72 of the control module 7 is used for position detection, which can realize the positioning of the calibration position by UWB, RTID, ZigBee, WIFI, 4G, 5G and the like.
[0098] Referring to FIG. 6, the connection module includes a wireless module 76, a wired module 79 and a camera 74 and the like connection mode.
[0099] Specifically, the camera 74 of the control module 7 can be used as an optional item to shoot the sensor and the surrounding environment, which is convenient for signal interaction through video recognition.
[0100] The wireless module 76 of the control module 7 is used for data connection with the to-be-measured sensor 8, which can adopt Bluetooth, WaveMesh, NB, LoRa, ZigBee, RFID, UWB, infrared, Wifi, 4G, 5G and the like. Based on the establishment of the data connection channel, the automatic calibration device can realize real-time communication with the safety monitoring system of the coal mine enterprise, obtain the related change information of the system equipment, and judge the working conditions of the sensor alarm, power recovery and power off. The to-be-measured sensor 8 is the calibrated sensor mentioned in the foregoing.
[0101] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the wired module includes a data repeater 761 connected with the to-be-tested sensor 8, and further has a calibration connection port and a system connection port. The calibration connection port is used for connecting with the automatic calibration device, and the system connection port is used for connecting with the safety monitoring system. Through the setting of the data repeater 761, when the maintenance personnel maintains, the automatic calibration device only needs to be connected with the calibration connection port through a cable, so that the automatic calibration device and the to-be-tested sensor 8 can be interacted, the to-be-tested sensor 8 automatically enters the calibration state, and the automatic calibration is realized. The calibration efficiency is higher, and the to-be-tested sensor 8 can be stably connected with the safety monitoring system through the system connection port in the non-calibration state, so that the instructions can be uploaded or issued.
[0102] In addition, after the automatic calibration device is connected with the calibration connection port, the automatic calibration device can also be connected with the safety monitoring system through the data repeater 761. Compared with the wireless module 76, the communication signal of this mode is more stable.
[0103] The data repeater 761 has two forms. One form is that the data repeater 761 is built in the to-be-tested sensor 8 shell, and the other form is that the data repeater 761 is externally hung on the to-be-tested sensor 8 shell.
[0104] Specifically, when the data repeater 761 is built in the to-be-tested sensor 8 shell, two USB ports, i.e., the calibration connection port and the system connection port, need to be reserved on the to-be-tested sensor 8. This mode cannot realize the on-site transformation, but the safety is higher.
[0105] The data repeater 761 externally hung on the to-be-tested sensor 8 shell has three interfaces. One interface is connected with the USB port of the to-be-tested sensor 8 itself, and the other two interfaces are the calibration connection port and the system connection port. This mode can realize the on-site transformation of the existing wired transmission type sensor in the well to support the automatic calibration of the sensor. The transformation scheme is simple, has strong universality, can greatly widen the application range of the automatic calibration device, and reduces the application cost.
[0106] The monitoring module is electrically connected with the safety monitoring system, can upload the calibration process information (such as the ventilation flow, the ventilation concentration, the sensor concentration change, etc.) to the safety monitoring system in real time, and the safety monitoring system automatically generates a multi-dimensional data package containing “ventilation time-airway flow-airway concentration-sensor output value”, and compares with the historical ventilation data. Thus, the fault diagnosis and the service life analysis of the sensor detection element can be realized, and the tracking and analysis of the probe health status can be realized.
[0107] The display of the control module 7 displays the related data of the automatic calibration device and the to-be-tested sensor 8, and can adopt an LED screen, a liquid crystal screen, a touch screen, etc.
[0108] The control module 7 is also connected with a battery assembly 79, which provides power supply for the flow controller, has a built-in battery protection board, has multiple protections such as voltage, current, overload, overcharge, overdischarge, and overheating, and has functions of monitoring power, voltage, and current.
[0109] The automatic calibration device can adopt various forms such as portable, fixed, and embedded. The portable type includes backpack type, shoulder bag type, hand-held type, and wheel type, which are convenient for calibration personnel to carry. The fixed type can be directly arranged at the installation position of the underground sensor and used as needed, or placed on a mechanical arm and automatically lifted to approach the sensor to be calibrated for automatic calibration. The embedded type can fuse the sensor and the automatic calibration device to derive a mine self-calibration gas sensor, which can realize periodic calibration without maintenance personnel going down to calibrate.
[0110] A calibration robot includes an inspection robot, and the automatic calibration device is installed on the inspection robot to transport the automatic calibration device to the sensor to be calibrated by the inspection robot. The inspection robot has a moving device and a positioning device. The moving device can be a tracked type to move in the coal mine passage. The positioning device is used to identify the positioning point installed in the coal mine passage to realize accurate positioning. The inspection robot also has a mechanical arm to connect the pipeline between the automatic calibration device and the sensor to be calibrated.
[0111] A calibration method based on the above calibration device includes the following steps with reference to FIG. 8:
[0112] S1, the calibration device is started, the operator logs in and takes a photo to ensure the identity of the operator. The camera 74 of the calibration device is used to check the installation position of the sensor to be measured, and the built-in algorithm of the calibration device is called to judge whether the installation position meets the standard. This step does not affect the subsequent calibration process, only identifies the abnormality of the sensor installation position, and provides installation and maintenance suggestions for the user.
[0113] S2, the dust cover of the sensor to be measured is unscrewed, whether the sensor to be measured is blocked and whether it needs to be maintained are checked, and a photo is taken for record. The calibration device automatically judges whether maintenance is needed. After ensuring that the sensor is not blocked, the following steps are performed.
[0114] S3, the calibration device and the sensor to be measured are connected in data, and the connection mode can be wired or wireless, such as RS485, CAN, Bluetooth, WaveMesh, NB, LoRa, ZigBee, RFID, UWB, infrared, Wifi, 4G, 5G, etc.
[0115] S4, the calibration device obtains the health self-diagnosis information of the sensor. If there is a problem affecting the normal work of the sensor, such as sensor gas detection function failure, sensor communication function abnormality, etc., the calibration of the sensor is stopped. The calibration device has a sensor fault analysis and analysis function, which can provide further maintenance suggestions for the user, which is displayed through the display and reminded through the sound and light alarm. If the fault is removed after maintenance, continue the subsequent steps.
[0116] S5, connect the ventilation cover to the sensor air inlet, and start the sensor calibration process with the remote controller. The start operation can also be started through the start button on the calibration device. The calibration device can automatically complete a series of operations related to calibration, including:
[0117] S51, enter the online calibration state;
[0118] S52, pass zero gas at a specified flow rate;
[0119] S53, adjust the sensor zero point;
[0120] S54, pass the calibration gas of alarm value concentration, that is, pass the mixed gas of zero gas and calibration gas;
[0121] S55, test the alarm point of the sensor, that is, check whether the sensor sounds and flashes;
[0122] S56, pass the calibration gas of power-off point concentration, that is, pass the mixed gas of zero gas and calibration gas;
[0123] S57, test the power-off point of the sensor, that is, check whether the associated equipment is powered off;
[0124] S58, pass the calibration gas at a specified flow rate;
[0125] S59, time the calibration gas;
[0126] S510, adjust the sensor linearity;
[0127] S511, pass the calibration gas of power-on point concentration, that is, pass the mixed gas of zero gas and calibration gas;
[0128] S512, test the power-on point of the sensor, that is, check whether the associated equipment is powered on;
[0129] S513, exit the calibration state.
[0130] S6, if the response time of the sensor needs to be tested, pass the calibration gas to the sensor, and the response time is the difference between the time when the sensor reaches 90% of the calibration gas sample concentration and the time when the calibration gas sample is passed.
[0131] S7, if it is necessary to test the filter blockage of the sensor, the opening degree valve one of the zero gas can be opened at the default opening degree, and the blockage of the filter can be obtained by judging the flow value of the flow sensor. Because the output pressure of the pressure reducing valve is constant, the opening degree of the opening degree valve one is constant, and the flow of the gas flow is directly affected by the back pressure pressure drop of the filter blockage. If the output flow is less than the specified value, it indicates that the pressure drop of the filter is too large, the blockage is serious, and the filter needs to be replaced to ensure that the sensor works normally under natural diffusion.
[0132] S8, during the process of completing the ventilation calibration work of the calibration device, the calibration related data is uploaded in real time and the calibration record is formed. The calibration data includes: calibration personnel, calibration start time, calibration end time, calibration gas type, calibration gas flow, calibration gas concentration, sensor concentration, etc. The safety monitoring system automatically generates a multi-dimensional data package containing "ventilation time-gas flow-gas concentration-sensor output value" according to the calibration data, and compares it with the historical ventilation data, so as to realize fault diagnosis and life analysis of the sensor detection element, and realize tracking and analysis of the health status of the probe. If it is identified that the sensor probe has a fault, the calibration process is interrupted, and the calibration personnel are reminded to replace the related sensor.
[0133] S9, the calibration device detects and identifies the working condition information such as pressure, temperature and humidity and position information in the environment in real time, and can transmit the detection information to the sensor. The sensor 8 can use this information for information comparison and correction, and can further invert its own position information and compare it with the historical position information to identify the position compliance.

The needle valve 24 is used to connect the gas cylinder and the pressure reducing valve, and the needle valve 24 is fixed with a bursting disc. When the pressure in the gas cylinder exceeds the normal working pressure of the gas cylinder, the bursting disc will break to release the pressure of the gas cylinder, ensuring the safety of the gas cylinder.

[0142] Referring to FIGS. 17-19, the filling machine includes a filling machine cabinet 4, a gas charging module and a vacuum extraction module arranged on the filling machine cabinet 4. The vacuum extraction module is connected to the vacuum extraction connector through a vacuum extraction pipeline 44, and the gas charging module is connected to the gas charging connector through a gas charging pipeline 43. The filling machine cabinet 4 is provided with a protective observation window 46 and a control panel 45. The protective observation window 46 is fixed on the filling machine cabinet 4 by a hinge, and the machine can only be started after the protective observation window 46 is closed. The control panel 45 is convenient for operating the filling machine.
[0143] Specifically, the vacuum-pumping module comprises a vacuum pump 41, a first pressure sensor 411 and a first electromagnetic valve 412, the first electromagnetic valve 412 is connected with the vacuum pump 41, the first electromagnetic valve 412 is connected with the vacuum joint through a vacuum-pumping pipeline 44, the first pressure sensor 411 is installed on the pipeline between the first electromagnetic valve 412 and the vacuum pump 41, the first pressure sensor 411 is electrically connected with the first electromagnetic valve 412 and the vacuum pump 41, so that the first electromagnetic valve 412 and the vacuum pump 41 are closed when the pressure in the pipeline reaches a set pressure value.
[0144] More specifically, the first electromagnetic valve 412 and the vacuum-pumping pipeline 44 are each provided with two groups, so as to respectively pump the gas cylinder one 21 and the gas cylinder two 22.
[0145] The inflation module comprises a booster pump 42, a second pressure sensor 421, a pressure relief valve 422, a second electromagnetic valve 423, a zero-gas supply unit and a standard-gas supply unit, the booster pump 42 is connected with the zero-gas supply unit and the standard-gas supply unit, one end of the second electromagnetic valve 423 is connected with the inflation joint through an inflation pipeline 43, the other end is connected with the pressure relief valve 422, the pressure relief valve 422 is also connected with the booster pump 42, the second pressure sensor 421 is connected on the pipeline between the pressure relief valve 422 and the booster pump 42, and the second pressure sensor 421 is electrically connected with the second electromagnetic valve 423, so as to cut off the gas path through the second electromagnetic valve 423 when the pressure in the pipeline reaches a set pressure value. The pressure relief valve 422 is responsible for relieving the high-pressure pipeline after inflation.
[0146] More specifically, the second electromagnetic valve 423 and the inflation pipeline 43 are each provided with two groups, so as to respectively inflate the gas cylinder one 21 and the gas cylinder two 22.
[0147] The zero gas supply unit and the standard gas supply unit supply zero gas and standard gas respectively. Taking the methane sensor as an example, the zero gas is air, so the zero gas supply unit comprises a third electromagnetic valve 424 and an air filter 425. One end of the air filter 425 is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the third electromagnetic valve 424. The third electromagnetic valve 424 is connected to the booster pump 42, so as to supply filtered air. The air filter 425 can adopt a triple air filter 425. The standard gas supply unit comprises a standard gas cylinder 426, an output pressure reducing valve 427 and a fourth electromagnetic valve 428 connected in sequence. The fourth electromagnetic valve 428 is connected to the booster pump 42. The high-pressure gas in the standard gas cylinder 426 is reduced to low-pressure gas by the output pressure reducing valve 427, and then enters the booster pump 42 for boosting and pumping. The design of reducing the pressure of the large bottle gas source (air or standard gas cylinder 426) and then boosting it to the gas cylinder assembly 2 can ensure that the filling machine fully utilizes the gas in the large bottle gas, and also ensures that the pressure of the small gas cylinder (cylinder one 21 or cylinder two 22) meets the use requirements, thereby maximizing the number of sensors that can be calibrated by the calibration tool box. Through the booster, the remaining gas in the standard gas cylinder can be maximized, and the problem of gas waste caused by insufficient pressure in the large gas cylinder can be avoided.
[0148] For the vacuumizing step, the vacuumizing connector adopts a self-locking quick plug female head with a one-way valve 61. When the male head is not inserted into the female head, the gas path cannot be conducted. The use pressure range of this type of vacuumizing connector is -100 kPa-1.0 MPa, which can fully withstand the pressure fluctuation caused by vacuumizing. When the gas is normally discharged, the one-way valve 61 of the female head is self-locked and cannot discharge gas outward from the quick plug female head. The pressurized gas in the gas path acts on the one-way valve 61, and the normal pressure air in the environment cannot enter the pipeline, thereby avoiding the dilution of the gas flow in the gas path. When the gas is discharged by vacuumizing, the male head is inserted into the female head, which opens the one-way valve 61 of the female head, and then the gas can be discharged outward from the female head, thereby realizing the operation of discharging the gas from the gas cylinder to the outside by vacuumizing.
[0149] For the gas filling step, the head of the gas filling quick plug male head is designed with a dustproof brass filter disc to prevent impurities in the filling gas from entering the gas cylinder. The gas filling quick plug male head contains a one-way valve 61, the flow direction of which is only in and not out. The inlet pressure of the one-way valve 61 is much higher than 1 MPa, so as to avoid the mixing of normal pressure gas. When the gas is normally discharged, the one-way valve 61 of the gas filling quick plug male head is self-locked and cannot discharge gas outward from the gas filling quick plug male head. The pressurized gas in the pressure reducing valve acts on the one-way valve 61, and the normal pressure gas in the environment cannot enter the pressure reducing valve, thereby avoiding the influence on the gas flow in the gas cylinder. In the case of gas filling, the female head on the gas filling flexible tube is connected to the gas filling quick plug male head of the pressure reducing valve. The booster pumps the gas in the gas cylinder or the environment, and then pumps it to the inside of the gas cylinder through the gas filling flexible tube. When the pressure in the flexible tube reaches the preset pressure, the booster stops working, and the gas filling is completed.
[0150] The vacuum line 44 extends from the cabinet and is a pressure-resistant PU flexible hose. One end connects to the matching vacuum pump 41 of the inflation drive module, and a solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the line. The other end is a quick-connect male vacuum connector for connection to the self-locking quick-connect female connector on the gas cylinder assembly 2. The inflation line 43 extends from the cabinet and is an explosion-proof flexible metal hose. One end connects to the booster pump 42 of the inflation module, and the other end is a quick-connect female inflation connector for connection to the quick-connect male inflation connector on the gas cylinder assembly 2. The booster pump 42 is connected to the standard gas cylinder 426 via a booster line extending from the cabinet. This booster line is also an explosion-proof flexible metal hose, and a fourth solenoid valve 428 controls its opening and closing. The inflation module uses a male connector, while the vacuum module uses a female connector, facilitating operator differentiation and enabling rapid operation.
[0151] Filling via a filling machine includes the following steps:
[0152] S1. Open the top cover 11 of the calibration toolbox, push the toolbox into the filling station of the filling machine and fix it.
[0153] S2.

Specifically, the two sets of vacuum lines 44 are connected to the zero gas vacuum connector 131 and the standard gas vacuum connector 132, respectively.

When the first pressure sensor 411 detects that the pipeline has reached the predetermined vacuum level, the first solenoid valve 412 closes and the vacuum pump 41 is turned off.
[0157] S6. Filling Cylinder 21: The filling machine starts the booster pump 42, opens the second solenoid valve 423 and the third solenoid valve 424 connected to Cylinder 21, and fills Cylinder 21 with air filtered by the air filter 425. After the second pressure sensor 421 detects that the pipeline pressure has reached the predetermined filling pressure, the booster pump 42 is stopped, the pressure relief valve 422 is activated to release the pressure in the filling pipeline 43, and then the second solenoid valve 423 and the third solenoid valve 424 are closed.
[0158] S7, the cylinder two 22 vacuum: filling machine starts vacuum pump 41, open the first solenoid valve 412 connected with cylinder two 22, cylinder two 22 vacuum, the first pressure sensor 411 detects pipeline pressure reaches the predetermined vacuum, the first solenoid valve 412 is closed, closed vacuum pump 41;
