Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gemstone testing technology, specifically a ruby fluorescence detection system. Background Technology
[0002] Ruby is a type of corundum, mainly composed of aluminum oxide. It appears red because it contains a certain amount of chromium. Natural rubies are very rare and precious, and are usually used in the jewelry processing industry. Due to their preciousness, there are also a large number of synthetic rubies on the market.
[0003] To distinguish between synthetic and natural rubies, several methods can be used. First, the color can be used to determine whether a natural ruby is natural. Natural rubies rarely have a completely uniform color, as each ruby has its own unique characteristics. Synthetic rubies, being man-made, generally have a very uniform color. Second, ultraviolet light can be used to examine the ruby's fluorescence reaction to determine if it is a natural ruby.
[0004] When performing fluorescence testing on rubies, an ultraviolet light source is used to irradiate the rubies. After irradiation for a period of time, it is observed whether the rubies emit fluorescence to determine their authenticity. During the irradiation process, due to the different sizes and shapes of rubies, they are prone to rolling or tilting, causing the position of the ruby to deviate from the direction of the light source, which affects the test results.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a ruby fluorescence detection system. Summary of the Invention

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a ruby fluorescence detection system includes a central control module, a sensor module, an irradiation module, a detection module, and a display module.
[0036] The central control module can operate and manage the entire ruby fluorescence detection system, making it convenient for operators to use the system; the central control module includes a signal receiving module and a signal transmitting module; the signal receiving module can receive the detection results from the detection module and display them through the display module;
[0037] The sensor module includes a signal relay module; the signal relay module can convert the signal sent by the central control module into an electrical signal that matches the irradiation module and transmit it to the irradiation module.
[0038] The irradiation module includes an ultraviolet light source 101; the irradiation module can emit ultraviolet light into the ruby inside the detection module to excite the fluorescence properties inside the ruby;
[0039] The detection module includes a detection body 1; the detection module provides a detection space and location free from external interference for the fluorescence detection of rubies.
[0040] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, the detection module includes a detection body 1; an observation cabinet door 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the detection body 1; an irradiation module is installed on the top of the detection body 1; a first placement frame 6 is fixedly connected inside the detection body 1; multiple fixing blocks 7 are provided on the top of the first placement frame 6; a sliding block 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 7; the sliding block 701 is slidably connected inside the first placement frame 6; the sliding grooves of the sliding block 701 are arranged in a circular array on the top of the first placement frame 6, and the center of the circular array is located at the irradiation center of the ultraviolet light source 101; a spring is fixedly connected between the sliding block 701 and the side wall of the first placement frame 6; during operation, when fluorescence detection of rubies is required, the ruby can be placed inside the multiple fixing blocks 7, and the ruby can be supported by the fixing blocks 7, making the ruby more stable on the top of the first placement frame 6, thus reducing the displacement of the ruby during fluorescence detection, and making the detection results of the ruby more accurate.
[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the irradiation module includes an ultraviolet light source 101; the ultraviolet light source 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the detection body 1; a fixed top frame 3 is fixedly connected inside the detection body 1; the fixed top frame 3 is located near the top of the detection body 1; an aperture disk 4 is rotatably connected inside the fixed top frame 3; a drive assembly is installed on the top of the detection body 1, which can be a servo motor; a rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive assembly; the end of the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the aperture disk 4; a first placement frame 6 is fixedly connected inside the detection body 1; during operation, when fluorescence detection of rubies is required, the ruby can be placed on the top of the first placement frame 6, and then the drive assembly can be activated, causing the drive assembly to drive the aperture disk 4 to rotate via the rotating shaft 5. The rotation angle can be set according to the size of the ruby to be detected, so that the aperture size on the aperture disk 4 matches the size of the ruby, effectively avoiding the situation where the ultraviolet light source 101 has a large irradiation range, which would affect the observation of the ruby.
[0042] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, a fixed base 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the detection body 1; the fixed base 9 is located on the side wall of the detection body 1 away from the observation cabinet door 2; a pull rope 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed base 9; a take-up reel 501 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 5; the pull rope 8 is wound around the outside of the fixed block 7, passes through the side wall of the detection body 1 away from the observation cabinet door 2, and finally winds onto the take-up reel 501; during operation, as the drive assembly drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, the drive assembly will rotate according to the principle of "clockwise rotation to decrease the aperture, counterclockwise rotation to increase the aperture". When it is necessary to decrease the aperture, the drive assembly will rotate. The component drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which causes the aperture disk 4 to rotate and reduce the aperture. At the same time, it drives the take-up reel 501 to rotate, and then the take-up reel 501 winds the pull cord 8, causing the pull cord 8 to pull the fixing block 7 to slide closer to the light source. This makes the fixing block 7 more secure for smaller rubies. When it is necessary to enlarge the aperture, the drive component drives the aperture disk 4 to rotate counterclockwise, which loosens the pull cord 8. This, in turn, pulls the fixing block 7 through the spring, which expands the fixing space of the fixing block 7. This allows the fixing block 7 to automatically adjust the fixing range according to the size of the aperture, thus making the fixing effect of the ruby even better.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a second placement frame 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the detection body 1 via a connecting rod 12; the second placement frame 11 is positioned at the bottom of the corresponding first placement frame 6; the first placement frame 6 can be made of a transparent rigid material, such as glass; a condenser lens 10 is placed on the top of the second placement frame 11; during operation, when the range of the ultraviolet light source 101 is large, the light emitted by the ultraviolet light source 101 will pass through the first placement frame 6 and illuminate the surface of the condenser lens 10, and then, through the reflection of the condenser lens 10, illuminate the bottom of the first placement frame 6, illuminating the bottom of the ruby placed on the surface of the first placement frame 6, thereby making the range of light illuminating the ruby larger and the illuminating effect of the ruby better.
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, a positioning block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the aperture disk 4; a positioning groove is provided inside the fixed top frame 3; the positioning block 13 is arranged correspondingly to the positioning groove; during operation, as the aperture disk 4 rotates, the positioning groove restricts the positioning block 13, which reduces the tilting of the aperture disk 4 during rotation, thereby making the rotation of the aperture disk 4 more stable and effectively avoiding the situation where the aperture disk 4 tilts during rotation, which would affect the light transmission effect of the aperture disk 4.
[0045] like Figure 8As shown, a first magnetic block 14 is fixed to the bottom of the condenser lens 10; a second magnetic block 15 is fixed to the top of the second placement frame 11; the first magnetic block 14 and the second magnetic block 15 are arranged opposite to each other; the first magnetic block 14 and the second magnetic block 15 are attracted to each other; during operation, when the condenser lens 10 is placed on the top of the detection machine body 1, the attraction between the first magnetic block 14 and the second magnetic block 15 can better maintain the stability between the condenser lens 10 and the second placement frame 11, so that the condenser lens 10 reflects light better.
[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of balls 16 are provided between the positioning block 13 and the fixed top frame 3; the balls 16 are in contact with both the positioning block 13 and the fixed top frame 3; during operation, when the positioning block 13 rotates inside the detection body 1, the rolling of the balls 16 between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 can change more of the sliding friction between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 and increasing the service life of the device.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] like Figure 9 As shown in the first embodiment, another implementation of the present invention is as follows: the sliding block 701 is rotatably connected to an anti-wear wheel 17; the side wall of the anti-wear wheel 17 contacts the side wall of the first placement frame 6; during operation, the rolling of the anti-wear wheel 17 can change the sliding friction between the sliding block 701 and the first placement frame 6 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear between the sliding block 701 and the first placement frame 6.
[0049] When performing fluorescence testing on rubies, the rubies can be placed inside multiple fixing blocks 7. The fixing blocks 7 support the rubies, making them more stable on top of the first placement frame 6. This reduces the likelihood of displacement during fluorescence testing, resulting in more accurate test results.
[0050] When fluorescence detection of rubies is required, the ruby can be placed on top of the first placement rack 6, and then the drive component can be activated. The drive component drives the aperture disk 4 to rotate through the rotating shaft 5. The rotation angle can be set according to the size of the ruby to be detected, so that the size of the aperture on the aperture disk 4 matches the size of the ruby. This effectively avoids the situation where the ultraviolet light source 101 has a large irradiation range, which would affect the observation of the ruby.
[0051] During the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 driven by the drive component, the drive component rotates according to the principle of "clockwise rotation reduces the aperture, counterclockwise rotation enlarges the aperture". When the aperture needs to be reduced, the drive component drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which causes the aperture disk 4 to rotate and reduce the aperture. At the same time, it drives the take-up reel 501 to rotate. Then, through the winding of the take-up reel 501 around the pull rope 8, the pull rope 8 pulls the fixing block 7 to slide closer to the light source illumination point, so that the fixing block 7 can fix the smaller ruby better. When the aperture needs to be enlarged, the drive component drives the aperture disk 4 to rotate counterclockwise, which allows the pull rope 8 to loosen. Then, through the spring, the fixing block 7 is pulled, which expands the fixing space of the fixing block 7. This allows the fixing block 7 to automatically adjust the fixing range according to the size of the aperture, so that the fixing effect of the ruby is better.
[0052] When the ultraviolet light source 101 illuminates a large area, the light emitted by the ultraviolet light source 101 will pass through the first placement frame 6 and illuminate the surface of the condenser lens 10. Then, through the reflection of the condenser lens 10, the light will illuminate the bottom of the first placement frame 6 and the bottom of the ruby placed on the surface of the first placement frame 6. This will make the area of light illuminating the ruby larger and the illuminating effect on the ruby better.
[0053] During the rotation of the aperture disk 4, the positioning block 13 is restricted by the positioning groove, which reduces the tilting of the aperture disk 4 during rotation. This makes the rotation of the aperture disk 4 more stable and effectively avoids the situation where the aperture disk 4 tilts during rotation, thus affecting the light transmission effect of the aperture disk 4.
[0054] When the condenser lens 10 is placed on top of the detection body 1, the attraction between the first magnetic block 14 and the second magnetic block 15 can better maintain the stability between the condenser lens 10 and the second placement frame 11, making the condenser lens 10 reflect light better.
[0055] When the positioning block 13 rotates inside the detection body 1, the rolling of the ball 16 between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 can change more of the sliding friction between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear between the positioning block 13 and the detection body 1 and increasing the service life of the device.
[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
