A breath alcohol-measuring device for breathing gas sampling has a
mouthpiece (2), for receiving the exhaled breathing air (1) of a test
subject, provided with a first flow diaphragm (3). A first pressure
sensor (6) is connected to the mouthpiece via a first gas line upstream
of the flow diaphragm (3). An alcohol sensor (4) is connected to the
mouthpiece (2) via an inlet channel downstream of the flow diaphragm (3)
and to a sampling system (5) for a breathing gas sample from the
breathing air (1) via a second gas line. The second gas line between the
alcohol sensor (4) and the sampling system (5) has a second flow
restriction (diaphragm 7) and is connected to a second pressure sensor
(9). An evaluating and control unit (8) receives the measured signals of
the pressure sensors (6, 9) and of the alcohol sensor (4) and actuates
the sampling system (5). The sampling system (5) includes a bellows (10)
with a piezo drive (30) and is actuated by the evaluating and control
unit (8) as a function of the volume measured by means of the second
pressure sensor (9).
