Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gas detection technology, and in particular to a gas concentration detection method, device, system and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The specific process of measuring the target gas concentration in the TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) detection system is as follows: a sawtooth wave tuning signal is loaded onto the laser current driver via a signal generator. Due to the effect of the tuning signal, the wavelength emitted by the laser changes with the sawtooth wave, completing the scanning of the target gas. Due to the absorption of light by the target gas, the transmitted light contains the absorption information of the target gas, and an absorption spectrum containing absorption information can be obtained. Generally, the non-absorbent portions of the gas at both ends of the absorption spectrum are extracted and fitted into an original absorption spectrum before being absorbed by the gas. The extracted photoelectric signal is divided by the fitted original absorption spectrum to deduct the background information and obtain the gas absorption spectrum. The gas concentration information can be deduced from the gas absorption spectrum.

[0003] During this derivation process, the useful information about the derivatized gas concentration is the portion absorbed by the gas. When the gas concentration is low or the spectral absorption is low, this data is very small and is superimposed on the photoelectric signal background. The photoelectric detection signal itself has a certain amount of detection noise due to thermal noise and defects in the photoelectric device, and the noise amplitude is related to the photoelectric signal intensity. The tiny absorption signal is submerged in the background information, causing the deduced absorption information to be superimposed with a strong signal noise. This is also one of the bottlenecks of the low accuracy of TDLAS detection at low concentrations. Existing TDLAS detection methods, whether based on direct absorption or harmonic detection methods, are affected by the background signal noise. Regardless of whether a higher-precision amplifier, a higher-precision ADC, or a faster detection frequency is used in the future, the noise introduced by the background signal will be proportionally amplified, and this problem cannot be fundamentally solved. Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of optical gas concentration detection is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] Existing optical gas concentration detection methods are affected by background signal noise. Regardless of whether a higher-precision amplifier, a higher-precision ADC, or a faster detection frequency is used, the noise introduced by the background signal will be proportionally amplified, and the problem cannot be fundamentally solved.

[0046] To address this issue, various embodiments of the gas concentration detection method of the present invention are provided. The method utilizes a first laser beam and a second laser beam to construct an absorption optical path and a reference optical path, respectively. The method adjusts the phase of the interfering photoelectric signals from the absorption and reference optical paths to obtain a background-free gas absorption signal spectrum for gas concentration detection. This method addresses the current technical issue of low accuracy in optical gas concentration detection.

[0047] The embodiment of the present invention provides a gas concentration detection system, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the gas concentration detection system involved in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] In this embodiment, the gas concentration detection system includes a gas concentration detection device 1 and a gas concentration detection component 2 .

[0049] It should be noted that the gas concentration detection component 2 is used to generate a first laser beam and a second laser beam, emit the first laser beam to the target gas to be detected, perform phase adjustment and interference detection on the first laser beam passing through the target gas to be detected and the attenuated second laser beam, and obtain the gas absorption signal spectrum line corresponding to the first laser beam when the photoelectric signal value after interference is the minimum.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the gas concentration detection component 2 includes a laser 201 and a beam splitter 202. The laser 201 is used to emit original laser light, and the beam splitter 202 is used to split the original laser light to obtain a first laser beam and a second laser beam.

[0051] It is easy to understand that in order to construct the absorption optical path and the reference optical path, the laser 201 is first controlled to emit a constant optical power laser, and then the constant optical power laser is split using the beam splitter 202, thereby obtaining a first laser beam and a second laser beam of the same wavelength emitted by the same laser source, thereby providing homologous lasers for constructing the absorption optical path and the reference optical path.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the gas concentration detection component 2 includes an optical attenuator 203, and the optical attenuator 203 is used to attenuate the second laser beam.

[0053] As will be readily understood, after obtaining the first and second laser beams, the first laser beam undergoes phase adjustment after passing through the target gas to be detected, while the second laser beam undergoes phase adjustment after passing through optical attenuator 203. Adjusting optical attenuator 203 ensures that the attenuated optical energies of the first and second laser beams are equal. Consequently, optical attenuator 203 can eliminate the difference in optical energy between the absorption light path and the reference light path caused by the attenuation of the absorption light path when passing through the target gas to be detected, thereby eliminating the background signal and improving the interference effect.

[0054] The specific operation is: first detect the photoelectric signal intensity of the absorption light path after passing through the target gas to be detected, then cut off the absorption light path, connect to the reference light path, and adjust the optical attenuator 203 so that the photoelectric signal intensity of the reference light path after passing through the optical attenuator is the same as the photoelectric signal intensity of the absorption light path.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the gas concentration detection component 2 includes a phase adjustment device 204, and the phase adjustment device 204 is provided with a temperature adjustment part. The first optical fiber for transmitting the first laser beam and the second optical fiber for transmitting the second laser beam are fixed to the temperature adjustment part for phase adjustment of the first laser beam and the second laser beam.

[0056] It is easy to understand that the first laser beam attenuated by the target gas to be detected and the second laser beam attenuated by the optical attenuator 203 need to be input into the phase adjustment device 204 to adjust the phases of the first laser beam and the second laser beam.

[0057] Specifically, the phase adjustment device 204 is provided with a temperature adjustment unit, which can change the temperature according to the adjustment instruction. Thus, the first optical fiber used to transmit the first laser beam and the second optical fiber used to transmit the second laser beam are fixed to the temperature adjustment unit. The temperature of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber can be changed by the temperature adjustment unit, thereby performing phase adjustment on the first laser beam and the second laser beam.

[0058] It should be noted that the temperature regulating unit can be configured with a built-in semiconductor cooling chip and temperature control circuit to precisely control its own temperature upon receiving adjustment instructions. Based on this, the first and second optical fibers are closely attached to the inner wall of the temperature regulating unit. When the temperature of the temperature regulating unit changes, the optical path length within the optical fibers changes due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, which in turn affects the phase difference between the two beams at the light output position.

[0059] It is easy to understand that the optical path of the first optical fiber acted upon by the temperature adjustment unit is different from the optical path of the second optical fiber acted upon by the temperature adjustment unit. When the temperature adjustment unit performs temperature adjustment, the optical path difference between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber is changed.

[0060] Specifically, by controlling the different contact lengths between the first and second optical fibers and the temperature control unit, the phase difference between the first laser beam within the first optical fiber and the second laser beam within the second optical fiber can be adjusted when the temperature of the temperature control unit changes. In this embodiment, the second optical fiber corresponding to the reference optical path is configured to have a longer contact length with the temperature control unit than the first optical fiber, thereby adjusting the phase difference between the first and second laser beams during temperature adjustment.

[0061] When performing phase adjustment, the temperature of the temperature regulating unit is controlled so that the phase difference between the first laser beam and the second laser beam satisfies the change in the interference fringe ring during detection until the photoelectric signal value after interference is minimum. At this time, the temperature is set as the optimal temperature for phase adjustment and maintained unchanged.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the gas concentration detection component 2 includes a detector 205, which is used to detect the interference signal between the first laser beam and the second laser beam, and obtain the gas absorption signal spectrum line corresponding to the second laser beam when the photoelectric signal value after interference is minimum.

[0063] Specifically, after a portion of the light energy in the absorption light path is absorbed by the gas, it interferes with the coherent light in the reference light path. The resulting dark fringes vary with the absorption intensity. At the optimal temperature, the center of detector 205 is located at a dark spot, manifested by a detection signal close to zero.

[0064] It is easy to understand that the light signal in the absorption light path will attenuate after being absorbed by the gas, while the signal in the reference light path does not change at this time. The detector 205 obtains the original detection signal. After amplification, the absorption signal will obtain a gas absorption signal spectrum without background signal. Due to the absence of background signal and its noise interference, the signal-to-noise ratio of the absorption signal will be greatly improved under the same detection conditions.

[0065] Based on this, when the gas concentration detection device 1 obtains the gas absorption signal spectrum corresponding to the second laser beam when the photoelectric signal value after interference is the minimum, the gas concentration can be deduced by detecting the absorption signal minus the background and combining it with the TDLAS general detection method.

[0076] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 2 The structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the gas concentration detection device, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0077] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for detecting gas concentration. Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the gas concentration detection method embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] In this embodiment, the gas concentration detection method is based on the above-mentioned gas concentration detection system, and includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S100 , obtaining the laser energy value of the first laser beam after attenuation by the target gas to be detected.

[0080] Specifically, when constructing the absorption optical path and the reference optical path, the laser is first controlled to emit a constant optical power laser, and then the constant optical power laser is split using a beam splitter, thereby obtaining a first laser beam and a second laser beam of the same wavelength emitted by the same laser source, thereby providing homologous lasers for constructing the absorption optical path and the reference optical path.

[0081] On this basis, in order to eliminate the light energy difference between the signal in the absorption light path that is attenuated after passing through the target gas to be detected and the signal in the reference light path, so as to eliminate the base signal and improve the interference effect, it is necessary to set the light energy of the first laser beam and the second laser beam of the input phase adjustment device to be equal.

[0082] The specific operation is: first detect the photoelectric signal intensity of the absorption light path after passing through the target gas to be detected, then cut off the absorption light path, connect to the reference light path, and adjust the optical attenuator so that the photoelectric signal intensity of the reference light path after passing through the optical attenuator is the same as the photoelectric signal intensity of the absorption light path.

[0083] Therefore, in this embodiment, it is necessary to first determine the laser energy value of the first laser beam after passing through the target gas to be detected, so as to control the second laser beam to match the light energy of the first laser beam.

[0084] Step S200 : adjusting the attenuation state of the second laser beam according to the laser energy value so that the laser energy values ​​of the first laser beam and the second laser beam after attenuation are the same.

[0085] Specifically, after obtaining the first and second laser beams, the first laser beam is passed through the target gas to be detected and then phase-adjusted. The second laser beam is passed through an optical attenuator and then phase-adjusted. During attenuation adjustment, an optical attenuator is placed in the reference light path and adjusted to ensure that the attenuated optical energies of the first and second laser beams are equal.

[0086] It should be noted that in order to ensure the homology of the first laser beam and the second laser beam, when constructing the absorption optical path and the reference optical path, the laser is first controlled to emit a constant optical power laser, and then the constant optical power laser is split using a beam splitter, thereby obtaining the first laser beam and the second laser beam of the same wavelength emitted by the same laser source, thereby providing homologous lasers for constructing the absorption optical path and the reference optical path.

[0087] Step S300 : Acquire a photoelectric signal after interference between the attenuated first laser beam and the second laser beam, and adjust the phases of the first laser beam and the second laser beam based on the photoelectric signal to minimize the photoelectric signal value after interference.

[0088] Specifically, the phases of the first laser beam and the second laser beam are adjusted by controlling a phase adjustment device acting on the first laser beam and the second laser beam to adjust the phases of the first laser beam and the second laser beam.

[0089] It is easy to understand that after part of the light energy in the absorption light path is absorbed by the gas, it interferes with the coherent light in the reference light path. The dark fringes formed by the interference change with the absorption intensity. By adjusting the phase of the first laser beam and the second laser beam to minimize the photoelectric signal value after the interference, that is, the interference fringe ring changes, and the center position will be at a dark spot, which manifests as the detector detection signal close to 0.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, the phase adjustment device connects a first optical fiber for transmitting the first laser beam and a second optical fiber for transmitting the second laser beam.

[0091] Thus, the phase adjustment device acting on the first laser beam and the second laser beam is controlled to perform phase adjustment steps on the first laser beam and the second laser beam, specifically: the phase adjustment device is controlled to adjust the optical path of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber to perform phase adjustment on the first laser beam and the second laser beam.

[0092] It should be noted that the optical path of the first optical fiber for transmitting the first laser beam and the second optical fiber for transmitting the second laser beam fixed thereon can be adjusted by a temperature adjustment part provided in the phase adjustment device. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the optical path in the optical fiber changes, thereby affecting the phase difference between the two beams of light at the light output position.

[0093] On this basis, the step of controlling the phase adjustment device to adjust the optical path lengths of the first and second optical fibers specifically comprises controlling the limit adjustment device to adjust the temperature of the first and second optical fibers to change the optical path length difference between the first and second optical fibers. During phase adjustment, the temperature of the temperature adjustment unit is controlled so that the phase difference between the first and second laser beams satisfies the change in the interference fringe rings observed during detection, until the photoelectric signal value after interference is minimized. At this point, this temperature is set as the optimal temperature for phase adjustment and maintained constant.

[0094] Step S400 , determining the concentration of the target gas based on the gas absorption signal spectrum of the second laser beam after phase adjustment.

[0095] Specifically, a photoelectric detection signal of the second laser beam is received by a detector, and a gas absorption signal spectrum of the second laser beam is obtained based on the photoelectric detection signal; and the concentration of the target gas is obtained by reverse derivation based on the gas absorption signal spectrum.
