Description

Gas detector with waterproof capability
Technical Field
The present application relates to a detector for gas detection.
Background
Industrial gas detectors for detecting flammable and explosive gases and toxic and harmful gases are used, for example, in urban underground pipe gallery works. Various domestic water, urban water and industrial wastewater are conveyed through the drainage pipe. In closed pipelines, the physical and chemical reactions of organic and inorganic substances are filled, and combustible explosive gases and toxic and harmful gases, such as nitrogen oxides, can be produced, and the method comprises the following steps: nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, dinitrogen trioxide, dinitrogen tetroxide, dinitrogen pentoxide and the like, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, methane, ammonia and other gases, and when flammable and explosive gases reach a certain concentration, the flammable and explosive gases have explosion risks. The concentration of the poisonous and harmful gas reaches a certain degree, and the great personal harm can be caused to the operating personnel.
In order to eliminate the potential safety hazard of the urban drainage pipe network and ensure the safe operation of the drainage pipe network, a gas detector is adopted, and an inflammable and explosive gas real-time monitoring system of the drainage pipe is used for implementing unmanned remote real-time monitoring on the drainage pipe by means of a modern computer communication technology and a sensing technology. A sensor is arranged in the gas detector to pass through the gas to be detected and detect the gas. The high humidity and moist environment of underground piping places water-resistant requirements on gas detectors. It is undesirable for water or gas to entrain moisture into the sensor, which can have a significant adverse effect on the detection results.
One solution is to add a housing to the gas detector to protect it from water. However, the existing shell cannot produce an ideal effect, namely, water is prevented from flowing into the sensor so as to thoroughly remove water in the gas to be measured. Moreover, such housings have difficulty complying with the test requirements of industrial waterproofing grades, i.e. the housings have difficulty withstanding the jet of a water column under pressure in such tests, inevitably carrying water into the sensor.
Disclosure of Invention

Detailed Description
To assist those skilled in the art in understanding the subject matter claimed herein, specific embodiments thereof are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of a gas detector to which the present application relates. The gas detector includes a detector body 10 and a cover 20, the cover 20 being attached to the detector body 10. Referring to fig. 2, the probe body 10 includes a mount 12 in which a sensing element (not shown) is disposed, and in the drawing, the mount 12 is cylindrical in shape. The mounting 12 also has an inlet 16 at which a filter 14 is provided, through which gas to be measured enters the probe body 10 in the direction of the solid arrows and then contacts the sensing element. Processing means operating on the basis of the sensing element input are provided in a position deeper from the inlet to obtain the properties characteristic of the gas to be measured, to obtain information on the concentration, content, etc. of the gas, and to convert this information into digital information to be transmitted to a remote controller, which may also be displayed on the probe body or output in the form of an alarm signal. The filter 14 is detachably coupled to the inlet, and the gas to be measured is filtered to remove substances that do not need to be measured, such as dust particles entrained in the gas to be measured, when passing through the filter, so as to improve the purity of the gas.
It is desirable to avoid water from entering the probe body 10. Figures 1-2 all show the general working of the probe body. Gas enters the probe body 10 from the bottom. The cover 20 is disposed under the probe body 10 for improving the waterproof capability of the probe.
The specific structure of the cover 20 is shown in fig. 3-5. The cover 20 is formed as a box made of a stainless steel material, such as sheet steel, and includes a peripheral wall 22 and a bottom wall 24. The circumferential wall 22 includes a first side 32, a second side 34, a third side (not shown), and a fourth side 36. The first side 32 is opposite the third side and the second side 34 is opposite the fourth side 36. The four side portions form the circumferential wall 22 of a single-layer structure, and define an enclosed space 39 inside the circumferential wall 22. See the schematic view of the interior of the enclosure of fig. 5, which shows a portion of the enclosed space 39. The enclosed space 39 is with respect to the center linelAround the centre line when the shield is attached to the probe bodylI.e. the axis of the inlet. The enclosed space 39 also has a proximal end 27 proximal to the inlet and a distal end 28 distal to the inlet in the axial direction. In the normal operating condition of the probe, the axial or centerline direction is longitudinal, with the proximal end 27 at the top of the housing and the distal end 28 at the bottom wall 24 of the housing. It is contemplated that the shroud may have other shaped configurations other than a box, in which the shroud likewise has proximal and distal ends in the axial direction.
Referring to fig. 3-6, a plurality of shield elements 42 are provided on the circumferential wall 22, i.e., on the first side 32, the second side 34, the third side, and the fourth side 36, to protect the sensing elements of the probe from all directions. The shielding element 42 is not arranged on the bottom wall 24 of the housing, which bottom wall 24 isolates the bottom of the detector from the outside. The plurality of shield members 42 may be parallel to the centerlinelArranged as an array of shading elements. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the first, second, third and fourth side portions are each provided with an array comprising four shading elements. Of course, the number of arrays of shield elements and the number of shield elements in each array may be higherOr less depending on the geometry of the enclosure, the water-proof rating of the detector, etc.
Each shield member 42 forms a passage 44 (shown in figure 4) between the exterior of the shroud and the enclosed space 39. A flow of water, in particular a water column with a certain pressure, can pass through the channel 44. The channel is designed to direct the flow direction of the water flow. As shown in fig. 4, the channel 44 directs the flow of water (dashed arrow) toward the distal end 28, thereby resolving the problem of water flow after exiting the channel. The shielding element is arranged in a channel form, so that the path of the water flow is defined, and after the water flow enters the channel, the kinetic energy of the water flow is absorbed by the channel wall, so that the path control of the water flow is further facilitated. On the other hand, the flow of gas (see solid arrows) into the channel with the water flow is not restricted and, as the gas leaves the channel, it diffuses into the enclosure and is sensed as it enters the inlet. In the normal operating conditions of the probe, since the gas is lighter than water, within the enclosure, the gas separates from the water and moves towards the top of the enclosure (i.e. the proximal end 27 of the enclosure) and eventually enters the inlet of the probe body.
The passageway 44 includes an inlet end 46 into which the water enters and an outlet end 47 from which the water exits. The inlet end is arranged in the transverse direction and the outlet end 47 is arranged in the longitudinal direction and is open towards the enclosed space 39, whereby the water flow is redirected by means of the channel after entering and its own kinetic energy is reduced after hitting the channel walls. The inlet end 46 may open directly into the circumferential wall, as shown in fig. 3, with the inlet end being an open slot 49 in the first, second, third and fourth sides. The outlet port 47 may be positioned lower than the inlet port 46 to avoid gas backflow.
The channel section 48 is located between the inlet end and the outlet end. The channel section 48 extends a distance from the circumferential wall 22 towards the enclosure 39, and the channel section 48 forms the channel 44 with a portion of the circumferential wall 22. The channel section 48 may be attached to the circumferential wall 22 or may be integrally formed with the circumferential wall 22. The channel section 48 has a cross-section that is a broken line as shown in fig. 4-5, but may also be an arcuate cross-section. Regardless of the cross-section, the channel section 48 extends distally.
Further, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, a plurality of channel segments 48 with the same structure and with a polygonal cross section are shown, and the channel segments 48 on the second side portion 34 are taken as an example, and include a first blocking plate 52, a second blocking plate 54, a blocked first side plate and a non-shown second side plate. With the first baffle 52 being adjacent the inlet end 46, the second baffle 54 being connected to the first baffle 52 and the second baffle 54 being adjacent the outlet end 47. The first and second side plates are located on either side of the first and second baffles 52, 54, respectively, and are connected between the first and second baffles 52, 54 and the circumferential wall 22 so as to construct a closed subspace that is open only at the inlet end 46 and the outlet end 47, thus ensuring that water flow within the channel 44 will only flow to the outlet end 47 towards the distal end 28. On the second side 34, there are four such channel sections. Identical channel sections are also provided on the first side 32, the third side and the fourth side 36, not shown, as shown by the channel sections of the first baffle 52a, the second baffle 54a, the first side plate 56a, the second side plate 57a on the first side 32, and four such channel sections are provided on the first side 32. Likewise, the same number of channel sections are arranged on the fourth side 36, each including a first baffle 52b, a second baffle 54b, a first side plate 56b and a second side plate 57b, not shown. Of course, it is also possible to use the above-described channel sections partially on the sides.
Still further, the first baffle 52 is inclined, the second baffle 54 is disposed longitudinally, and the first baffle 52 is angled relative to the second baffle 54. An optimized occlusion effect can be obtained by calculating the total area of the first barrier 52, the second barrier 54, the first side plate, and the second side plate.
The cover is connected with the mounting seat of the detector main body. The cap is provided with a socket 26 projecting outwardly at a proximal end, which socket 26 can be brought into a socket-in axial direction with a cylindrical sleeve of the mounting socket. When mounted in place, the inlet for the gas to be measured is enclosed within the enclosure, that is, the inlet receives only gas that enters the enclosure via the shroud.
In addition, the interface portion 26 is removably mounted with the mounting socket, thereby facilitating convenient separation of the cover from the probe body during periods of required maintenance or servicing. As shown in FIG. 7, the interface portion 26 may also be cylindrical in shape with a pair of ears disposed on opposite sides thereof. Of the pair of ears, first and second oppositely facing ears 62,64 extend from the interface end 26, respectively, and the mount is clamped in the interface by the ears 62,64 via fasteners 66, such as screws, passing through the ears.
Returning to fig. 4, water and test gas are introduced into the enclosure through the inlet end along the passageway, as indicated by the arrows in the figure, the test gas rising within the enclosure to the inlet at the proximal end 27 as indicated by the solid arrows, and the water exiting the outlet end as indicated by the dashed arrows moving in the opposite direction toward the distal end 28. As a drainage, the inlet end 46' of the passage of the lowermost screen element disposed in the array of screen elements may act as a drainage end to let water out after it has accumulated at the bottom of the hood.
While specific embodiments of the present application have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the principles of the application, it will be understood that the application may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
