6 . The adapter according to claim 5 , wherein the second mating portion is provided with an engaging member, the engaging member has an engaging hole, the engaging hole is coaxially connected to the mounting hole, and the engaging hole is constructed to be capable of being sleeved around the gas detection apparatus.
7 . The adapter according to claim 6 , wherein the engaging member is constructed to be capable of being extruded by the gas detection apparatus in the engaging hole to allow elastic deformation in a radial direction of the engaging hole to clamp the gas detection apparatus.
8 . The adapter according to claim 7 , wherein the engaging member comprises a clamp, wherein the clamp is enclosed to form the engaging hole, the clamp is hermetically connected to the second mating portion, an axial end of the clamp extends into the mounting hole, and a first elastic arm is provided on an end portion of the axial end, the first elastic arm being capable of undergoing elastic deformation in a radial direction of the engaging hole.
9 . The adapter according to claim 8 , wherein the engaging member further comprises an expansion sleeve, wherein the expansion sleeve is constructed to be capable of being movably sleeved in the engaging hole in an axial direction of the engaging hole, the expansion sleeve has a mating hole, the mating hole is coaxially disposed with the engaging hole, the mating hole is configured to mate with the gas detection apparatus, and the first elastic arm is squeezed at a position in a movement path of the expansion sleeve.
10 . The adapter according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a sealing member, the sealing member is disposed in the mounting hole, and the sealing member is configured to be capable of hermetically connecting the gas detection apparatus and the gas flow passage.
11 . The adapter according to claim 10 , wherein the gas flow passage further comprises an intermediate hole, the intermediate hole is formed in the second mating portion, the intermediate hole is coaxially connected to the mounting hole, the mounting hole has an inner side wall, the intermediate hole runs through the inner side wall, and the sealing member is disposed in the inner side wall and provided around the intermediate hole.
12 . The adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the first mating portion is removably connected to the injection opening.
