The utility model discloses a handheld type receiving device used for sulfur hexafluoride gas and oxygen leakage detection comprising a wireless receiving module, a keyboard circuit, a microprocessor, a display circuit, an alarming circuit, and a power supply module. The wireless receiving module, the keyboard circuit, the display circuit and the alarming circuit are respectively connected with the microprocessor. An output end of the power supply module is connected with a power supply end of the microprocessor. The data can be transmitted between the double-gas detection device and the hand-held type receiving device in a wireless manner, the on-site detection result of the sulfur hexafluoride gas and oxygen content data can be transmitted to the hand-held type receiving device in a wireless manner, in addition, acousto-optic alarms can be given, once the sulfur hexafluoride content exceeds the standard, and the oxygen content can be displayed at the same time. The handheld type receiving device is advantageous in that the on-site comparison test with an on-line monitoring device can be carried out; and the handheld type receiving device can be used to detect whether the on-line monitoring device is still under the normal working condition; the sensitivity is high, and the device is stable as well as reliable.
