The invention belongs to the technical field of ocean
microparticle detection, and discloses a cylindrical
capacitance detecting device for detecting ocean microplastic. The device comprises a microfluidic detecting
chip, a cylindrical
capacitance detecting unit embedded in the microfluidic detecting
chip, and an exciting unit; the exciting unit is connected with the cylindrical
capacitance detecting unit through an insulation lead; the cylindrical capacitance detecting unit comprises two cylindrical capacitance polar plates with the same structures; the two cylindrical capacitance polar plates are arranged in an aligned mode; and a microchannel in the microfluidic detecting
chip penetrates between the two cylindrical capacitance polar plates, and is tightly bonded on the microchannel. The cylindrical capacitance polar plates are excited by high-frequency
alternating current through the exciting unit; and when microplastic particles in
seawater pass through the cylindrical capacitance polar plates, as the relative
dielectric constant of the water is higher than the relative
dielectric constant of the microplastic, negative capacitance
signal pulse is generated, the sizes and the shapes of the microplastic are judged according to the amplitude magnitude and the frequency of the generated
signal pulse, and the problems of low detecting speed, low detecting precision and complex detecting equipment in the prior art are solved.
