Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature measurement technology, and more particularly to an environmental temperature measurement method and apparatus based on a liquid antenna. Background Technology

[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of the invention set forth in the claims. The description herein is not an admission that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.

[0003] Traditional ambient temperature detection typically relies on the direct acquisition of ambient temperature data using various deployed temperature sensors. A temperature sensor is a sensor that senses temperature and converts it into a usable output signal. Currently, commonly used temperature sensors in the industry include various contact temperature sensors, such as thermometers, as well as electronic sensors based on various temperature-sensing elements.

[0004] Thermometers achieve thermal equilibrium through conduction or convection, allowing their readings to directly represent the temperature of the object being measured, thus offering high measurement accuracy. However, the main drawback of ambient temperature testing methods based on thermometers is that the readings typically require visual inspection. Therefore, temperature readings are difficult to obtain in some concealed installation locations, such as inside equipment, at high points indoors, or where they are obstructed by other equipment. Using high-definition cameras for data acquisition would increase testing costs.

[0005] For electronic sensors based on various temperature-sensing elements, the thermoelectric properties of these elements allow temperature changes to alter their electrical characteristics, thus converting non-electrical physical quantities into electrical signals for accurate ambient temperature measurement. This method offers advantages such as a wide measurement range, fast testing speed, and the ability to perform long-distance measurements and data transmission. However, the main drawbacks of this temperature testing method include: testing errors introduced by sensor aging over long-term use; long-term reliance on imported sensors for certain chips (such as MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) infrared temperature sensors); easy interference from external environmental signals; the influence of preamplifier temperature drift; and the need for batteries or cables to continuously power the sensor.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and improve the method of measuring ambient temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The principles and spirit of the invention will now be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the present invention can be implemented as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Therefore, this disclosure can be specifically implemented in the following forms: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.

[0030] According to embodiments of the present invention, an environmental temperature measurement method and apparatus based on a liquid antenna are proposed, relating to the field of temperature measurement technology. This invention is based on the physical property of thermal expansion and contraction of liquid conductors, a fundamental physical property of matter that does not degrade with prolonged use. Furthermore, this scheme achieves long-distance measurement and data transmission of environmental temperature based on precise measurement of the resonant characteristics of the liquid antenna. Compared to traditional temperature measurement schemes based on electronic sensors, this scheme is a passive measurement method, requiring no batteries or cables to continuously power the liquid antenna, thereby reducing the complexity of test setup and maintenance, and lowering testing / usage costs.

[0031] By replacing the traditional temperature sensor-based testing scheme with this invention, testing errors caused by sensor aging can be eliminated while ensuring test consistency and accuracy, significantly improving testing efficiency and measurement accuracy, and reducing testing costs.

[0032] The principles and spirit of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an environmental temperature measurement method based on a liquid antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0034] S101, Install the liquid antenna in the environment under test;

[0035] S102, Calibrate the relationship between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature;

[0036] S103, Based on the calibrated relationship between the resonant frequency and the ambient temperature, determine the first resonant frequency corresponding to the preset ambient temperature value.

[0037] S104, Measure the second resonant frequency of the liquid antenna, calculate the difference between the second resonant frequency and the first resonant frequency, and determine whether the difference is within a preset limit range;

[0038] S105, if yes, the ambient temperature is deemed acceptable;

[0039] S106, if not, the ambient temperature is deemed unqualified.

[0040] Based on the physical properties of thermal expansion and contraction of liquid conductors, this invention calibrates the resonant frequency-temperature characteristic curve of a liquid antenna, converting the temperature characteristics to the frequency domain. Then, by measuring the resonant characteristics of the liquid antenna, the resonant frequency is used as a judgment index, and it is determined whether the difference between the resonant frequency and the preset frequency limit is within the specified range, thereby determining whether the ambient temperature is within the acceptable range.

[0041] To provide a clearer explanation of the above-described method for measuring ambient temperature based on a liquid antenna, each step will be described in detail below.

[0042] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The specific procedure for calibrating the relationship between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature (S102) is as follows:

[0043] S201 simultaneously acquires the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature of the environment under test through a vector network analyzer and a temperature sensor.

[0044] S202, Adjust the ambient temperature and collect the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna at different ambient temperatures;

[0045] S203, based on the collected ambient temperature and the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna, calibrate the correspondence between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature.

[0046] In practical applications, when the position of the liquid antenna changes, the relationship between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature needs to be recalibrated.

[0047] Since the operating environment of liquid antennas varies at each location, the corresponding relationships need to be recalibrated when the installation location of the liquid antenna changes.

[0048] In one embodiment, (S203) based on the collected ambient temperature and the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna, the correspondence between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature is calibrated, including:

[0049] During calibration, the ambient temperature changes in increments of 1°C, with the range of temperature change being ±20°C of a preset range. The resonant characteristics of the liquid antenna are repeatedly tested by changing the ambient temperature in increments.

[0050] The relationship between the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and the ambient temperature is calibrated by performing linear fitting or fitting according to a cubic polynomial based on the collected ambient temperature and the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna.

[0051] In one embodiment, the liquid antenna is made of mercury or alcohol.

[0052] Other materials can also be used for the liquid antenna, that is, any material that can measure the resonant frequency of the liquid antenna and calibrate the relationship between the resonant frequency and the ambient temperature can be used as the liquid antenna of this invention.

[0053] In one embodiment, since a single test antenna may fail and affect the test results, multiple antennas can be installed in the environment under test. This allows for the improvement of the accuracy of the test results through multiple test targets and adaptive calculation methods, preventing the test results from being affected by the failure of a single test antenna.

[0054] refer to Figure 3 The specific method is as follows:

[0055] S301, when multiple liquid antennas are installed in the environment under test, measure the resonant frequency of each liquid antenna; wherein each liquid antenna is located at a different test position;

[0056] S302, Based on the correspondence between the resonant frequency of the calibrated liquid antenna at each test location and the ambient temperature, determine the ambient temperature at the corresponding installation location of each liquid antenna.

[0057] S303, determine the ambient temperature measurement results based on the ambient temperature at the corresponding installation location of each liquid antenna. Specifically, when determining the ambient temperature measurement results, a weighted average or linear average of the ambient temperature at the corresponding installation location of each liquid antenna can be calculated.

[0058] Taking the calculation of the weighted average as an example, (S303) the specific process for determining the ambient temperature measurement results based on the ambient temperature at the corresponding installation location of each liquid antenna is as follows:

[0059] Calculate the weighted average of the ambient temperature at multiple test locations;

[0060] Specifically, taking the ambient temperature at N test locations as an example, the ambient temperature at each test location is denoted as T. i Let the preset temperature be denoted as T0, and the preset temperature range be denoted as T0±ΔT. Calculate abs(T i -T0), and will satisfy abs(T) i All Ts where -T0)>ΔT i , from T0+max(abs(T i Instead of -T0), calculate T again. i -T0. The weight at each test location is denoted as:

[0061]

[0062] When liquid antennas are installed at N test locations in the environment, determine whether the weighted average of the ambient temperature at the N test locations is within a preset temperature range; at the same time, determine whether the test results at at least M test locations are within the preset temperature range.

[0063] Wherein, when N > 20, M = N - 3; when 20 ≥ N ≥ 12, M = N - 2; when 12 > N ≥ 5, M = N - 1; when N < 5, M = N;

[0064] If the weighted average of the ambient temperatures at N test locations is within the preset temperature range, and the test results at at least M test locations are within the preset temperature range, the ambient temperature is deemed to be qualified.

[0065] If the weighted average of the ambient temperatures at N test locations is not within the preset temperature range, or if the test results at more than NM test locations are not within the preset temperature range, the ambient temperature is deemed unqualified.

[0066] Taking the calculation of the linear average value as an example, (S303) the specific process for determining the ambient temperature measurement results based on the ambient temperature at the corresponding installation location of each liquid antenna is as follows:

[0067] Calculate the linear average of the ambient temperature at multiple test locations;

[0068] When liquid antennas are installed at N test locations in the environment, determine whether the linear average of the ambient temperature at the N test locations is within a preset temperature range; at the same time, determine whether the test results at at least M test locations are within the preset temperature range.

[0069] Wherein, when N > 20, M = N - 3; when 20 ≥ N ≥ 12, M = N - 2; when 12 > N ≥ 5, M = N - 1; when N < 5, M = N;

[0070] If the linear average of the ambient temperature at N test locations is within the preset temperature range, and the test results at at least M test locations are within the preset temperature range, the ambient temperature is deemed to be qualified.

[0071] If the linear average of the ambient temperature at N test locations is not within the preset temperature range, or if the test results at more than NM test locations are not within the preset temperature range, the ambient temperature is deemed unqualified.
