Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas concentration measurement, and in particular relates to an optical fiber methane gas concentration measurement device and a measurement method that are resistant to strong interference, and can realize the measurement of methane gas concentration under a strong interference environment. Background Art
[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.
[0003] Fiber optic methane gas concentration measurement is usually based on the principle of spectral absorption. It comprehensively utilizes the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology and obtains the concentration of methane gas by detecting the attenuation of light intensity according to the Lambert-Beer law. Among them, gas molecule spectral absorption refers to the phenomenon that photons within a certain wavelength range are absorbed by gas molecules. Methane molecules have multiple absorption lines in the mid-infrared and near-infrared bands. In order to be suitable for transmission in ordinary quartz optical fibers, absorption lines near 1654nm are usually selected as the working wavelength of the sensing system. When light passes through the measured gas containing methane molecules, photons of a specific wavelength are absorbed by methane molecules. Therefore, after the light passes through the measured gas, the light intensity is attenuated, and the degree of attenuation is linearly related to the methane gas concentration. The gas sensing system based on spectral absorption can indirectly obtain the methane concentration value of the measured gas by measuring the attenuation of light intensity.
[0004] The tunable semiconductor laser spectral absorption technology mainly utilizes the narrow line width and wavelength of the tunable semiconductor laser that changes with the injected current. By modulating the wavelength of the laser, the wavelength of the laser is scanned across the absorption peak of the gas molecules to be measured, so that the gas molecules absorb the modulated laser based on the Lambert-Beer law, and the concentration of the gas molecules is measured according to the absorption amount. The physical meaning of the Lambert-Beer law is that when a beam of parallel monochromatic light passes vertically through a uniform non-scattering absorbing substance, such as methane gas, its absorbance, that is, the amount of light intensity attenuation, is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing substance.
[0005] The inventors found that due to the absorption line of methane gas molecules, water vapor, other hydrocarbons (such as ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H 10)) have many overlapping areas of absorption spectra. Therefore, when the fiber optic methane gas concentration measurement system is used in some special environments with strong interference, such as underground urban integrated pipe corridors with gas pipelines, gas stations, gas stations, etc., the measurement results will be greatly affected by other gas components. Moreover, the absorption spectrum of methane gas molecules overlaps with water vapor, other hydrocarbons (such as ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H 10 ))’s absorption spectra are very similar, and this influence cannot be eliminated using traditional differential measurement methods.

[0066] Example
[0067] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the strong interference-resistant optical fiber methane gas concentration measurement device consists of an alarm controller, a transmitter, a methane gas sealed chamber and a sensor probe. The alarm controller and the transmitter are encapsulated in the mainframe box and placed in safe areas such as monitoring rooms and offices; the methane gas sealed chamber and the sensor probe are placed in dangerous areas where methane gas may leak; the methane gas sealed chamber contains methane gas of standard concentration to return a light intensity curve with the correct absorption peak position; the sensor probe is used to measure the methane gas concentration at close range. A passive long-distance optical fiber is used to connect the mainframe and the probe.
[0068] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the alarm controller is divided into a data receiving module, a display module, a button module, a relay module, an audible and visual alarm module and a power module according to its functions. The data receiving module receives the measured data of the methane gas concentration; the display module displays the methane gas concentration value, the alarm threshold, the alarm and fault information; the button module is used to set the alarm threshold; the relay module controls the on and off of the power light, the operating light and the fault light according to the working status of the alarm controller, as well as the on and off of the peripheral audible and visual alarm and the fan. The power module is used to power the alarm controller and the transmitter.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmitter includes a processor, a drive module, a light source, a temperature control module, an optical circulator (1*(N+1)*(N+1)), an optical switch (1*N), two photoelectric converters, a photoelectric balance detector, an analog binarization, two multipliers, an analog-to-digital converter and a data sending module.
[0070] The processor controls the driving module to generate a suitable driving current signal, receives the digital signal sent by the analog-to-digital converter, and calculates the methane gas concentration value.
[0071] Under the control of the processor, the driving module generates the current signal required to drive the light source. The waveform of the current signal is a ramp signal, which makes the wavelength of the continuous light emitted by the light source scan from λ1 to λ2, covering the absorption peak of methane gas near the wavelength of 1654nm.
[0072] Under the stimulation of the driving module, the light source generates a continuous optical signal and transmits it to the optical circulator.
[0073] The temperature control module is used to control the temperature of the light source to keep the temperature constant and prevent the wavelength and power of the optical signal from being affected by changes in ambient temperature.
[0074] The optical circulator receives the optical signal from the light source, divides the optical signal into N+1 paths, and transmits them to N sensing probes and 1 methane gas sealed air chamber in the detection area through long-distance optical fibers, and transmits the N optical signals reflected from the sensing probes to the optical switch, and transmits the 1 optical signal reflected from the methane gas sealed air chamber to the photoelectric balance detector input port 1. Under the control of the processor, the optical switch sequentially transmits the optical signals returned from the N sensing probes to the optical balance detector input port 2.
[0075] The optical balance detector converts two input optical signals into one electrical signal output, and when the two input optical signal intensities are the same, the output electrical signal amplitude is the highest. In a single ramp cycle, as the wavelength scans from λ1 to λ2, covering the absorption peak of methane gas near the wavelength of 1654nm, the intensity curve of the optical signal reflected from the methane gas sealed air chamber undergoes a process from strong to weak and then to strong; for the optical signal returned by the sensor probe, since the concentration of methane gas in the air is unknown and affected by the absorption spectrum of water vapor and other hydrocarbons, when the optical wavelength scans from λ1 to λ2, the intensity curve changes irregularly, but there will always be two equal-value intersections with the intensity curve of the optical signal reflected from the methane gas sealed air chamber, and the two intersections must be on both sides of the adjacent methane absorption peak.
[0076] The analog binary receives the electrical signal output by the photoelectric balance detector, outputs an analog electrical signal of 1V between the two peak points, and outputs an analog electrical signal of 0V outside the two peak points, and the output is connected to two multipliers.
[0077] Photoelectric converter 1 receives the optical signal returned by one sensing probe transmitted by the optical switch, and outputs it to another input port of multiplier 1. Photoelectric converter 2 receives the optical signal returned by the methane gas sealed chamber, and outputs it to another input port of multiplier 2.
[0078] The two multipliers, under the control of the high and low levels of the analog binary output, only output the relevant electrical signals of the optical wavelength range on both sides of the methane absorption peak to the analog-to-digital converter (when the optical wavelength range is not on both sides of the methane absorption peak, the electrical signals output by the two multipliers are both 0V).
[0079] The analog-to-digital converter converts the voltage signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the processor. The processor uses the digital value obtained by the light signal reflected from the methane gas sealed chamber as a reference to calibrate the methane gas concentration corresponding to the digital value obtained by the light signal returned by the sensor probe. The data transmission module transmits the methane gas concentration value calculated by the processor to the alarm controller.
[0080] The optical fiber methane gas concentration measurement method with strong interference resistance specifically includes the following steps:
[0081] Step 1: The light source generates a continuous light signal under the stimulation of the ramp signal of the driving module and transmits it to the optical circulator. The wavelength of the continuous light emitted by the light source is scanned from λ1 to λ2, which can cover the absorption peak of methane gas near the wavelength of 1654nm.
[0082] In step 2, the optical circulator receives the optical signal from the light source, divides it into (N+1) paths and transmits it to N sensing probes and 1 methane gas sealed air chamber in the detection area through long-distance optical fiber. At the same time, the N optical signals reflected from the sensing probes are transmitted to the optical switch, and the 1 optical signal reflected from the methane gas sealed air chamber is transmitted to the photoelectric balance detector input port 1. Under the control of the processor, the optical switch sequentially transmits the optical signals returned from the N sensing probes to the optical balance detector input port 2.
[0083] Step 3: The optical balance detector converts the two input optical signals into one electrical signal output, and when the two input optical signal intensities are the same, the output electrical signal amplitude is the highest. In a single ramp cycle, as the wavelength scans from λ1 to λ2, covering the absorption peak of methane gas near the wavelength of 1654nm, the intensity curve of the optical signal reflected from the sealed gas chamber of methane gas undergoes a process from strong to weak and then to strong again; for the optical signal returned by the sensor probe, since the concentration of methane gas in the air is unknown and is affected by the absorption spectra of water vapor and other hydrocarbons, when the wavelength of light scans from λ1 to λ2, the intensity curve changes irregularly, but there will always be two equal-value intersections with the intensity curve of the optical signal reflected from the sealed gas chamber of methane gas, and the two intersections must be on both sides of the adjacent methane absorption peak.
[0084] Step 4: Analog binary receives the electrical signal output by the photoelectric balance detector, outputs a 1V analog electrical signal between the two peak points, and outputs a 0V analog electrical signal outside the two peak points, and the output is connected to two multipliers. Photoelectric converter 1 receives the optical signal returned by the 1-way sensor probe transmitted by the optical switch, and outputs it to another input port of multiplier 1. Photoelectric converter 2 receives the optical signal returned by the methane gas sealed chamber, and outputs it to another input port of multiplier 2. Under the control of the high and low levels of the analog binary output, the two multipliers only output the relevant electrical signals with the optical wavelength range on both sides of the adjacent methane absorption peak to the analog-to-digital converter (when the optical wavelength range is not on both sides of the adjacent methane absorption peak, the electrical signals output by the two multipliers are both 0V).
[0085] Step 5: The analog-to-digital converter converts the voltage signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the processor.
[0086] Step 6: The processor uses the digital value obtained by the light signal reflected from the methane gas sealed chamber as a reference to calibrate the methane gas concentration corresponding to the digital value obtained by the light signal returned by the sensor probe. The data transmission module transmits the methane gas concentration value calculated by the processor to the alarm controller.
[0087] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
