[0014] In one embodiment, a system for measuring ion concentration in water is provided, referring to Figure 1 , the measuring system of ion concentration in water includes: a polarization circuit, an open circuit potential measuring circuit, a current amplifying circuit, a microcontroller circuit, a temperature measuring circuit and a data storage circuit; The polarization circuit is electrically connected to the working electrode in the open circuit potential measurement circuit and polarizes the working electrode; The open circuit potential measurement circuit is electrically connected to the microcontroller circuit via the current amplification circuit; the reference electrode and the working electrode of the open circuit potential measurement circuit are placed in the water sample of the water purification device, the corresponding open circuit potential is measured, and the measurement data is transmitted to the current amplification circuit; A current amplifier circuit is used to perform current amplification and filtering on the measurement data and transmit the result to the microcontroller circuit; The temperature measurement circuit is electrically connected to the microcontroller circuit, and is used to collect temperature data of the water sample and transmit it to the microcontroller circuit; A microcontroller circuit is used to generate a polarization signal corresponding to the polarization circuit, calculate the ion concentration of the water sample according to the measurement data and the temperature data, and calibrate the system according to a standard solution of known concentration; The data storage circuit is electrically connected to the microcontroller circuit and is used for storing relevant data transmitted by the microcontroller circuit.
[0015] In this embodiment, a reference electrode and a working electrode are provided in the open circuit potential measurement circuit. When the system is in use, the reference electrode and the working electrode are placed in a water sample of a water purification device to measure the open circuit potential in the water sample. This potential shows a certain correlation with the concentration of ions in the water.
[0016] The microcontroller circuit is electrically connected to the polarization circuit, and outputs a polarization signal to the polarization circuit so that the polarization circuit generates a corresponding square wave signal to polarize the working electrode. The frequency and amplitude of the square wave signal are adjustable to adapt to different water quality conditions. The potential change after polarization can enhance the ion response on the electrode surface, thereby improving the detection sensitivity.
[0017] The reference electrode and working electrode of the open circuit potential measurement circuit are placed in the water sample, the potential difference between the two electrodes is measured, and the measurement data is transmitted to the current amplification circuit.
[0018] The current amplifier circuit is equipped with a current amplifier and a low-pass filter. During the polarization process, a small current will be generated between the electrodes. This current is amplified by the current amplifier, and after the noise is eliminated by the low-pass filter, it is input to the ADC module of the microcontroller circuit for sampling. Since the current change is closely related to the ion concentration, the microcontroller circuit can calculate the ion concentration of the water sample by collecting this data.
[0019] The microcontroller circuit is responsible for the control of the entire system, including the generation of polarization signals, data acquisition, storage and calculation of ion concentration. At the same time, it also manages the system calibration process, calibrating the system with standard solutions of known concentration to ensure measurement accuracy after long-term operation.
[0020] Among them, the potential value of a standard solution of known concentration can be measured to allow the microcontroller circuit to perform system calibration and ensure measurement accuracy.
[0021] Among them, the microcontroller circuit performs analog-to-digital conversion on the measurement data after current amplification and filtering processing. After generating sampling data, the ion concentration of the water sample can be preliminarily calculated based on the measurement data corresponding to the water sample obtained by sampling, as well as the pre-stored correspondence between the water sample potential and the water sample ion concentration (that is, the correspondence between the sampling data and the ion concentration).
[0022] At the same time, the temperature measurement circuit will also collect the current temperature data of the water sample (the sampling end of the temperature measurement circuit can be placed in the water sample, or attached to the container storing the water sample), and feed the temperature data back to the microcontroller circuit in real time, so that the microcontroller circuit can perform temperature compensation on the initially calculated ion concentration according to the current temperature data of the water sample to correct the value of the ion concentration and finally obtain the current ion concentration of the water sample. Among them, the microcontroller circuit can dynamically adjust the ion concentration measurement result according to the known corresponding relationship between temperature and water sample potential, reducing the influence of temperature on electrochemical measurement.
[0023] In addition, the microcontroller circuit will save the potential and current data of each measurement through the data storage circuit, and record the data during polarization and calibration. In this way, the system can preserve the measurement history for a long time, support data backtracking and comparative analysis, and facilitate the monitoring of water quality trends.
[0024] In one embodiment, a system for measuring ion concentration in water is proposed, which integrates a polarization circuit, an open circuit potential measurement circuit, a current amplification circuit, a microcontroller circuit, a temperature measurement circuit, and a data storage circuit. Through the coordinated work of these components, accurate measurement of ion concentration in water can be achieved. The system can realize real-time monitoring of ion concentration in water, that is, through electrochemical technology and precision circuit design, it ensures real-time and high-precision measurement of ion concentration in water (especially calcium and magnesium ions) to meet the needs of actual use scenarios. In addition, the system supports automatic calibration function and data management to ensure long-term stable operation, as well as facilitate long-term water quality analysis and system optimization.
[0025] This water ion concentration measurement system based on electrochemical principles can achieve real-time, high-precision measurement of water ion concentration (especially calcium and magnesium ions) in water purifiers and other equipment. The circuit integrates open circuit potential detection, polarization circuit, data acquisition and storage and other functional modules, and realizes an automated, low-cost, and easy-to-integrate water quality ion concentration monitoring solution. It can solve the problems of complex existing ion concentration detection equipment, low detection efficiency, and inability to monitor online, and improve the intelligence and automation level of water quality management. It can also be used in handheld portable devices.
[0026] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the polarization circuit generates a square wave signal based on a digital-to-analog converter to apply a periodically changing potential to the working electrode.
[0027] In this embodiment, a square wave signal is generated by a digital-to-analog converter to apply a periodically changing potential to the working electrode to enhance the ion response on its surface. This polarization process can effectively promote the electrochemical reaction between calcium and magnesium ions and the working electrode, thereby improving the sensitivity of ion detection.
[0028] Optional, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The polarization circuit uses a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) chip U1 to generate a square wave signal, which will be used to apply an alternating voltage to the working electrode for electrode polarization. The IIC of the microcontroller U4 in the microcontroller circuit is controlled with U1 to set the frequency and amplitude to achieve square wave generation. The output of U1 passes through a voltage follower U2 to ensure that the load capacity of the square wave signal is large enough and not distorted. The output of the voltage follower is connected to the working electrode through the first resistor R6 and the second resistor R31, which is used to apply a square wave voltage signal to polarize the electrode.
[0029] The frequency and amplitude of the polarization signal can be flexibly controlled by the microcontroller U4 to adapt to different water quality environments. This automatic control simplifies user operation and enables the system to always maintain high measurement accuracy under different water quality conditions.
[0030] In this way, the square wave signal generated by the digital-to-analog converter is used to automatically polarize the electrode to enhance the ion response, which can significantly improve the detection sensitivity of the water ion concentration measurement system. The system can not only measure the ion concentration in water in real time and with high precision, but also has automatic calibration and data management functions, which is suitable for various water quality monitoring scenarios.

The first low-pass filter is composed of the fourth resistor R25 and the first capacitor C30.
[0034] The working electrode of the open circuit potential measurement circuit is connected to the second high impedance voltage follower U8 through the fifth resistor R28, and the output end of the second high impedance voltage follower U8 is connected to the current amplifier U10 in the current amplifier circuit after passing through the second low-pass filter. The second low-pass filter is composed of the sixth resistor R29 and the second capacitor C31; the amplification factor of the current amplifier A=R26 / R29, wherein the seventh resistor R26 and the third capacitor C27 are connected in parallel between the output end and the negative input end of the current amplifier U10.
[0035] The output of the current amplifier U10 is connected to the 24-bit Δ-ΣADC differential negative input terminal inside the microcontroller U4 after passing through the third low-pass filter. The third low-pass filter is composed of an eighth resistor R30 and a fourth capacitor C34.
[0036] At the same time, the square wave signal generated by the polarization circuit is connected to the working electrode through the ninth resistor R31.
[0037] In this way, the use of 24-bit Δ-Σ ADC and high-impedance op amp can ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurement signal, and can accurately detect the concentration changes of trace ions in water quality. That is, the system uses an MCU with an internal 24-bit Δ-Σ ADC for signal acquisition, and cooperates with a high-impedance op amp to ensure the accurate measurement of open-circuit potential and current, thereby accurately detecting the concentration changes of trace ions in water, especially suitable for low-concentration calcium and magnesium ion measurements.

[0045] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the present application further proposes a method for measuring ion concentration in water, which is applied to the system for measuring ion concentration in water described in the above embodiment; Figure 7 , the method for measuring the ion concentration in water includes: Step S10, the microcontroller circuit controls the polarization circuit to generate a corresponding square wave signal according to the set frequency and amplitude, so as to polarize the working electrode in the open circuit potential measurement circuit; Step S20, measuring the water sample of the water purification equipment based on the open circuit potential measurement circuit, and performing current amplification and filtering processing on the measurement data using the current amplification circuit; Step S30, performing analog-to-digital conversion on the measurement data after current amplification and filtering to generate sampling data; Step S40, based on the pre-stored correspondence between the sampling data and the ion concentration, preliminarily calculating the ion concentration using the sampling data; Step S50: calibrate the preliminarily calculated ion concentration based on the temperature data of the water sample collected by the temperature measurement circuit to obtain the ion concentration of the water sample.
[0046] In this embodiment, the execution terminal of the embodiment is a microcontroller circuit.

[0048] Among them, the frequency and amplitude of the square wave signal can be adjusted according to water quality conditions to ensure effective polarization under different water quality conditions.
[0049] The open circuit potential measurement circuit measures the potential difference between the working electrode and the reference electrode in the measured water sample and transmits the data to the current amplifier circuit for processing. After the measurement data is transmitted to the current amplifier circuit, the current amplifier circuit performs current amplification and filtering on the measurement data to eliminate noise and ensure data quality.
[0050] The microcontroller circuit performs analog-to-digital conversion on the measured data after current amplification and filtering to generate sampling data. The analog signal is converted into a digital signal to facilitate data processing by the microcontroller circuit.

[0052] Then, based on the temperature data of the water sample collected by the temperature measurement circuit, the initially calculated ion concentration is calibrated to obtain the final ion concentration of the water sample. That is, the value of the ion concentration is corrected by temperature compensation, the influence of temperature on the electrochemical measurement is reduced, and the measurement accuracy is improved.
