[0028] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention.

In addition, the present invention provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0029] Example 1, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a response speed testing device of an ocean spontaneous potential sensor 400 includes: The box 100 has an installation space formed therein, and the ocean natural potential sensor 400 is located at the top of the installation space; A potential switching module, which is located below the ocean natural potential sensor 400; the potential switching module is used to provide standard potential change data; A voltage measurement module, which is connected to the ocean natural potential sensor 400, and is used to collect the potential transition signal of the ocean natural potential sensor 400 and output the response parameters of the ocean natural potential sensor 400; The potential switching module includes: a power supply unit 210, a conductor array 240 and a charge processing unit 250; the power supply unit 210 is connected to the conductor array 240 through a potential conversion switch 230; the conductor array 240 is used to generate a potential transition change; the charge processing unit 250 is connected to the conductor array 240 and is used to process the accumulation of charges on the conductor surface after the step is generated.

[0030] The measurement principle of the natural potential sensor 400 is that when there are charged objects around the natural potential sensor 400, due to the uneven distribution of the charge of the charged body, charge accumulation will occur on the surface of the conductor, and this accumulation will generate an electrostatic field. Due to the existence of the electrostatic field, the natural potential sensor 400 can sense the corresponding potential of the electrostatic field.

[0031] The response time of the natural potential sensor 400 refers to the time required for the voltage difference at the measuring end of the natural potential sensor 400 to jump from the starting voltage to 63.2% of the step value when the current flowing through the surface of the measured conductor jumps from one potential to another. The potential difference response time is represented by T.

[0032] Accurately measuring the response speed of the natural potential sensor 400 requires ensuring that the surface charge of the metal conductor is stable; secondly, ensuring that the surface charge of the conductor is quickly discharged after the switch is disconnected. Then, ensuring the sensitivity of the potential conversion switch 230, the switch closing and opening time should be small. Finally, the shielding box ensures shielding of external electromagnetic interference to reduce the error of the response time.

[0033] The box 100 structure used in this embodiment forms an installation space inside, and the conductor array 240 and the natural potential sensor 400 are both located in the installation space. The box 100 can effectively shield external electromagnetic interference and avoid the influence of external electromagnetic interference on the response time.

[0034] A fixing bracket 110 is disposed in the box 100 , and the natural potential sensor 400 is disposed directly above the conductor array 240 through the fixing bracket 110 , so that the natural potential sensor 400 is at a constant potential inside the electric field generated by the conductor array 240 .

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing bracket 110 is provided with a groove, and the natural potential sensor 400 is fixed in the groove; the natural potential sensor 400 is separated from the conductor array 240 by a certain distance; Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the natural potential sensor 400 is located at the top of the box 100 , and the conductor array 240 is located at the bottom of the box 100 .

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, a knob is provided on the outside of the box 100, and the knob serves as the potential conversion switch 230. The knob is used to connect the power supply and the conductor array 240. The conductor array 240 is powered on by rotating the knob, so that the conductor array 240 produces a potential change.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the test of the response speed of the natural potential sensor 400 requires accurate acquisition of the amplitude and change speed of the potential change of the test environment and the test point.

[0038] The relationship between the voltage and current of a capacitor can be described by the definition of capacitance: C = dQ / dV, where C is the capacitance value, dQ is the small change in charge, and dV is the small change in voltage. This formula shows that a change in potential will inevitably lead to a change in charge, that is, there is a charging or discharging current; by differentially transforming the formula, the relationship between current (I) and voltage (V) and time (t) can be obtained: I = C * dV / dt, and the speed of voltage change is essentially not an instantaneous value that can be ignored. Under the same current change, smaller capacitance and charge will lead to a higher voltage change rate; it can also be understood that smaller capacitance and charge will help reduce the impact of the amount of time caused by voltage changes. Therefore, in the embodiment, a boron-doped diamond film with low background current and low adsorption is used as a potential generating electrode for charge storage to obtain a smaller capacitance and charge, and reduce the impact of charging and discharging on the potential change and the response speed measurement of the potential sensor.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the array monomers of the conductor array 240 have a diameter of 0.025-0.05 mm, a height of 0.5-3 μm, a spacing of 0.05-2 mm, and a cone angle of the nanostructure of 0-20°.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the boron-doped diamond film is obtained by doping, modifying and purifying the diamond film. The specific processing process is as follows: The metal substrate in the form of a microstructure array is prepared by laser processing using complete niobium metal. The laser power is 200 Å. The processed array monomer has a diameter of 0.025-0.05 mm, a height of 0.5-3 μm, a spacing of 0.05-2 mm, and a cone angle of the nanostructure of 0-20 degrees. After the electrode substrate is processed, it is filled with a silicon oxide coating. After complete filling, a mechanical grinding method is used to make the surface flat and expose the metal substrate. A chemical vapor deposition technology method is used to grow boron-doped diamond on the surface of the metal substrate in the form of an array. The boron doping concentration is 10000-30000 ppm and the thickness is 0.8-3 μm. The surface is treated with a 1:2-1:3.5 sulfuric acid-nitric acid mixed solution for impurity removal. The solution temperature is 230-260°C and the processing time is 30 minutes to increase the charge injection and release rate of the electrode surface.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the array monomer used in the conductor array 240 has a diameter of 0.025-0.05mm, a height of 0.5-3μm, a spacing of 0.05-2mm, and a cone angle of the nanostructure of 0-20°; as a small-volume array structure, it helps to form a physical form of multiple quasi-point charge arrays in parallel, and through the potential distribution of the point charge position in space: V = k * (q / r), the initial value of the potential of the multiple charge arrays at the measured position of the potential sensor can be obtained, and its change time can be deducted as the background error, which can effectively improve the reliability of the response speed measurement of the ocean natural potential sensor 400.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the power supply unit 210 adopts a constant voltage positive excitation source, which provides a stable potential signal to the conductor array 240 after being connected to the power supply filter unit 220; the power supply filter unit 220 is used to optimize the constant voltage excitation source voltage signal and remove low-frequency AC noise.

[0045] Specifically, the charge rapid transfer unit is used to connect with the conductor array 240 to process the accumulation of charges on the conductor surface after the step is generated.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the voltage amplification and triggering unit includes a high-frequency transformer, an avalanche diode and an energy storage resistor; wherein the primary winding of the high-frequency transformer is connected to the common end of the low-inductance ceramic capacitor, the secondary winding is connected to the anode of the avalanche diode, and the cathode of the diode is connected to the energy storage resistor and then grounded. It is used to quickly meet the working threshold of the fast discharge module and accurately trigger the fast discharge.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fast discharge unit is mainly composed of a GaN field effect transistor, wherein the gate of the GaN field effect transistor is connected to the energy storage capacitor, the source is grounded, the drain is connected to the discharge resistor and then connected to the common end of the low-inductance capacitor, and a voltage regulator diode is connected between the gate and the source, for fast discharge of charge.

[0048] After the charge processing unit 250 is powered off, the charges accumulated on the surface of the conductor are quickly released, thereby eliminating the electrostatic field generated by the conductor and reducing the impact on sensor measurement.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the voltage measurement module includes a voltage continuous measurement unit 310 and a potential filtering unit 320, wherein the voltage continuous measurement unit 310 includes a high-speed comparator, a digital potentiometer and a multiplexer; the voltage continuous measurement unit 310 includes a serial measurement mode and a parallel measurement mode.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the series measurement mode, the voltage continuity module includes a high-speed comparator, a digital potentiometer, and a multiplexer; the multiplexer inputs the first output signal to the high-speed comparator, and the digital potentiometer controls the signal to be amplified or reduced according to the signal change, and transmits it to the subsequent circuit, and then switches to the next electrode through the multiplexer.

[0051] In the parallel measurement mode, the voltage continuity module includes multiple high-speed comparators and multiple digital potentiometers. Each electrode inputs its own potential signal into its own high-speed comparator, and according to the signal change, each digital potentiometer controls the signal to amplify or reduce it, and transmits it to the subsequent circuit.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the potential filtering unit 320 includes hardware filtering and software filtering. The hardware filtering processes the signal through an RC high-pass passive filtering circuit and an active notch filter. The software filtering includes adaptive algorithm filtering and fast tracking filtering.

[0053] Among them, the hardware filtering processes the signal through the RC high-pass passive filter circuit and the active notch filter to remove high-frequency noise and 50Hz power frequency noise.

[0054] Software filtering includes adaptive algorithm filtering and fast tracking filtering, which aims to remove and suppress interference signals, optimize signal quality, accurately capture step signals, and reduce signal distortion and delay.

When the voltage fluctuation is within the range of ±0.1mV, record the initial potential of the natural potential sensor. S3: Set the excitation voltage to a fixed value, close the potential conversion switch, energize the conductor array, and start measurement. When the voltage fluctuation is within the range of ±0.1mV, close the potential conversion switch to achieve a step change in the metal conductor potential; and store the collected voltage signal in the storage module; S4: Utilize the collected voltage signal to obtain the response parameters of the natural potential sensor.
