Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of marine pollution detection, and in particular to a marine pollutant identification device using laser induced fluorescence and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Today, marine pollution mainly includes plastic pollution and chemical pollution. Plastic pollution includes about 8 million tons of plastic entering the ocean every year, which accounts for 80% of the total marine garbage. Plastic garbage is solid garbage that is visible to the naked eye and can be cleaned directly, but chemical pollution is that pollutants are directly integrated with seawater and are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Therefore, professional instruments are needed to take seawater samples for testing, such as the latest use of laser induced fluorescence for marine pollutant identification in seawater pollution detection.

[0003] Laser induced fluorescence is a spectral method that excites atoms or molecules to a higher energy level by absorbing laser light and then emits light spontaneously. This technology has the advantages of rapidity, high precision, high sensitivity, and non-destructive testing, and is widely used in medicine, environment, biology, chemical industry, food and other fields.

[0004] The Chinese patent application number 202310751572.2 is an algae-based laser-induced fluorescence detection device, which specifically relates to the technical field of algae concentration detection devices, including a base, a lifting device is fixedly installed at the rear of the upper end of the base, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the lifting device, and a two-dimensional regulator is fixedly installed at the lower part of the connecting plate extending forward, a semiconductor laser is fixedly installed at the lower end of the two-dimensional regulator, a quartz cylindrical lens is arranged outside the laser port of the semiconductor laser, and a sliding device is arranged on the base. The algae-based laser-induced fluorescence detection device described in the invention drives the optical glass cuvette to move through the sliding device, and cooperates with the two-dimensional regulator to make the laser beam emitted by the semiconductor laser vertically irradiate the quartz cylindrical lens, and then vertically irradiate the optical glass cuvette container after the quartz cylindrical lens expands the beam in the two-dimensional plane, with accurate positioning, improved measurement accuracy, and reduced experimental errors. The technical solution proposed in the above invention is conducive to the miniaturization of the device through structural improvements, and can also avoid the laser causing background noise to the device. However, in actual use, since the laser transmitter needs to adjust the optical path through a reflector to shoot the laser into the sample pool with high precision, the adjustment of the reflector directly affects whether the optical path of the laser is accurate. The above invention obviously does not make improvements on this key step, which can easily lead to the shaking of the reflector during use, causing the optical path to be deflected and thus causing the experiment to fail. Summary of the invention

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a marine pollutant identification device using laser induced fluorescence and a working method thereof, which solves the technical problem of experimental failure caused by the deflection of the light path during operation in the existing marine pollutant laser identification process.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a marine pollutant identification device using laser induced fluorescence, comprising a laser transmitter, a supporting device, a reflector arranged on the supporting device, a sample pool, a sensing device, a spectrometer and a central computer, wherein the laser transmitter emits laser light which enters the sample pool after being refracted by the reflector, the supporting device is provided with a first angle deflection device for adjusting the deflection angle of the reflector, the sample pool is provided with a second angle deflection device for further deflecting the laser light into the sensing device, the laser light filtered by the sensing device is input into the spectrometer through an optical fiber and the result is presented in the central computer.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating wheel includes a coaxially arranged rotating inner wheel and a rotating outer wheel, the rotating inner wheel is arranged in the functional cavity and connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, the rotating outer wheel extends outward to the outer surface of the functional disk, and the rotating outer wheel and the rotating inner wheel are connected by an elastic telescopic rod, and the rotating outer wheel is driven to rotate by external force, thereby driving the rotating inner wheel to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, through the elastic action of the elastic telescopic rod, the rotating outer wheel moves away from the rotating inner wheel under the action of external force or approaches the rotating inner wheel in a power-losing state, and a first positioning tooth is arranged on the outer surface of the functional disk and is surrounded by the rotating outer wheel, and a second positioning tooth is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating outer wheel, and the first positioning tooth and the second positioning tooth are meshed with each other. When an external force is applied to the rotating outer wheel to move it away from the rotating inner wheel, the first positioning tooth and the second positioning tooth are separated from each other, and when the rotating outer wheel loses power and approaches the rotating inner wheel, the first positioning tooth and the second positioning tooth are engaged with each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the second angle deflection device includes three plane mirrors spliced ​​to each other, each of the plane mirrors has the same specifications and is in the shape of an isosceles right triangle, and the right-angled sides of two adjacent plane mirrors are connected to form a pyramid space.

[0014] Furthermore, the sensing device includes a receiving probe and a filter for receiving the laser beam after passing through the second angle deflection device in the sample cell.

[0015] A working method of a marine pollutant identification device using laser induced fluorescence comprises the following steps: S1. Seawater sampling: sampling seawater from seawater and placing it in a sample pool; S2, emitting laser: using a 405nm laser emitter for laser emission, the emitted laser beam enters the sample pool after being reflected once by the reflector; S3, secondary reflection; the laser light entering the sample cell passes through the second angle deflection device and then is emitted vertically upward to the sensing device; S4, laser filtering; the filtered laser is poured into the spectrometer via optical fiber and the data is then transmitted to the central computer; S5. Data analysis: The central computer analyzes and processes the data and displays it on the display screen.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention detects marine pollutants by using a laser-induced fluorescence scheme. The principle is that a 405-nanometer laser transmitter is used to emit laser light, which is reflected by a reflector into a sample pool and then further reflected into a sensing device. A filter is provided in the sensing device to filter out 405-nanometer blue light. Then, the oil in the seawater sample will produce fluorescence under laser irradiation and further be displayed in a central computer through a spectrometer, thereby achieving the detection of the pollution degree of the seawater sample according to the waveform.

[0017] 2. The present invention adopts a first angle deflection device and a second angle deflection device to ensure that the laser emitted from the laser emitter can pass through the sample cell and then be introduced into the spectrometer for waveform presentation, wherein the first angle deflection device is arranged on the supporting device, and is used to adjust the spatial position of the reflector on the supporting device. The first angle deflection device includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a rotating wheel. The principle is that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating wheel, and both are meshed and connected with the rotating wheel. In this way, as long as the rotating wheel is rotated, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod will move in opposite directions, such as the first connecting rod rises, the second connecting rod falls, or the first connecting rod moves down. The first connecting rod descends and the second connecting rod rises. At the same time, a first protrusion is provided on the first connecting rod and a second protrusion is provided on the second connecting hole. The head and tail ends of the reflector are respectively hinged with the first protrusion and the second protrusion. In this way, when the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod move in opposite directions, the angle of the reflector will be deflected. The deflection angle of the reflector can be adjusted by rotating the rotating wheel in a forward or reverse rotation manner. At the same time, the reflector adopts an assembled mirror to ensure that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod will not interfere with the deflection of the reflector during the up and down lifting process, that is, when the reflector is in a horizontal state, the reflector is completely retracted and is in a state of shortest length, and slowly extends when it is deflected.

[0018] 3. In the present invention, the first meshing teeth, the second meshing teeth and the third meshing teeth are provided, and the three mesh with each other, so that the reflector can be adjusted more accurately with the rotation of the rotating wheel, and the laser deflection angle can be further accurately adjusted.

[0019] 4. The rotating wheel in the present invention comprises a coaxially arranged rotating inner wheel and a rotating outer wheel, the purpose of which is to ensure that after the angle of the reflector is adjusted, it will not be disturbed by the outside world and will not deviate from itself. The principle is that the rotating inner wheel and the rotating outer wheel are movably connected by an elastic telescopic rod, that is, the rotating outer wheel can be pulled outward and then rotated to drive the rotating inner wheel to rotate, and when the rotating outer wheel loses power, it will retract inward, and after retraction, since a first positioning tooth is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the functional disk and a second positioning tooth is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating outer wheel, the rotating outer wheel can be locked by the mutual engagement of the first positioning tooth and the second positioning tooth, thereby ensuring that the rotating inner wheel is locked, and then ensuring that the states of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are fixedly locked, thereby ensuring that the state of the reflector is fixed and will not be disturbed by the outside world.

[0020] 5. The second angle deflection device in the present invention is responsible for reflecting the laser light incident into the sample pool and emitting it perpendicularly to the horizontal plane to be received by the sensing device. The second angle deflection device includes three plane mirrors spliced ​​to each other, and the shapes of the three plane mirrors are isosceles right triangles, which are perpendicular to each other, ensuring that the laser light entering the sample pool will be refracted in the pyramid space composed of the plane mirrors and emitted perpendicularly to the horizontal plane. The blue light of 405 nanometers is then filtered out by the filter in the sensing device, leaving the fluorescence reflecting the oil component, which is then displayed on the display screen of the central computer through the spectrometer.

[0021] 6. In the detection method of the present invention, the detection laser is accurately shot into the reaction device through primary reflection and secondary reflection, and then transmitted to the spectrometer for image analysis and processing, and then displayed on the display screen of the central computer.
