Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic testing, and in particular to a method and system for detecting gas vacuum based on a thin-film capacitor. Background Technology

[0002] Today, the development of science and technology requires more demanding tools and environments. In some scientific research, high vacuum environments can provide more accurate and stable experimental conditions; in some industrial production, high vacuum can be used in processes such as manufacturing electronic devices and optical coating. People generally determine whether the current environment is a high vacuum environment by measuring the gas vacuum level.

[0003] In related technologies, a suspended magnetic sphere method can be used to measure gas vacuum, utilizing the influence of a magnetic field on the motion of gas molecules to determine the gas vacuum level. By measuring the motion state of the suspended magnetic sphere, the gas vacuum level can be inferred. Alternatively, a thin-film capacitance vacuum gauge based on a diode bridge can be used to measure gas vacuum, determining the gas vacuum level by obtaining the output signal from the input sinusoidal AC excitation signal.

[0004] However, using the above method will result in inaccurate gas vacuum levels due to differences in gas molecules and the lack of a sealed vacuum container. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a gas vacuum degree detection method based on thin-film capacitors, which can solve the problem of inaccurate gas vacuum degree detection caused by different gas molecules and non-sealed vacuum containers, thereby improving the accuracy of gas vacuum degree detection.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a gas vacuum degree detection method based on a thin-film capacitor, applied to gas vacuum degree detection. The method includes: determining the change patterns of N first change values ​​of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor; when the change pattern of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is fluctuating up and down, sending a first instruction to the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time, causing the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time according to the first instruction; when the thin-film capacitor increases the measurement time according to the first instruction, obtaining M second change values ​​of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor, where M is greater than N; outputting an average change value; when the change pattern of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is a unilateral change, sending a second instruction to the gas delivery device to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested, causing the gas delivery device to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested according to the second instruction until the change trend of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged; when the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be tested according to the second instruction until the change trend of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged, obtaining a third change value of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the inaccuracy of gas vacuum detection caused by differences in gas molecules and non-sealed vacuum containers can be solved, thus improving the accuracy of gas vacuum detection.

[0008] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is characterized by fluctuating up and down, a first instruction to increase the measurement time is sent to the thin-film capacitor, causing the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time according to the first instruction. Specifically, this includes: when the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is characterized by fluctuating up and down and is irregular, setting a tolerance range, which is a range of acceptable values; filtering the second change value according to the tolerance range to obtain a trust change value, which is the second change value within the tolerance range; and obtaining a fourth change value, which is the average value of the trust change values, after filtering the second change value according to the tolerance range to obtain a trust change value.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the gas to be tested contains more than two gas molecules, the change in capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is irregular and fluctuates up and down. Values ​​outside the tolerance range can be filtered out to obtain reliable change values, thus the obtained data is reliable.

[0010] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, when the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is fluctuating up and down, a first instruction to increase the measurement time is sent to the thin-film capacitor, causing the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time according to the first instruction. The method further includes: when the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be tested to its maximum, detecting whether the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged; if the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor does not remain unchanged, sending a third instruction to the gas delivery device to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested, causing the gas delivery device to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested according to the third instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged; and when the gas delivery device reduces the output rate of the gas to be tested according to the third instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged, obtaining a fifth change value of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor, which is the change value when the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, even when the input rate of the gas to be measured in the gas transmission device is increased to the maximum, the change trend of the capacitance of the thin film capacitor does not remain unchanged. Therefore, the output rate of the gas to be measured in the gas transmission device can be reduced to obtain a stable change value.

[0012] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, after determining the change mode of the N first change values ​​of the film capacitor capacitance, the method further includes: inputting the N first change values ​​of the film capacitor capacitance into a gas vacuum degree prediction model to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be measured.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the vacuum degree of the gas to be measured can be directly obtained through the gas vacuum degree prediction model, thereby improving the accuracy of gas vacuum degree detection.

[0014] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, after determining the change method of the N first change values ​​of the film capacitor capacitance, the method further includes: inputting optical time data into an optical calculation function to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be measured, wherein the optical time data is the time for light to pass through the gas to be measured in the film capacitor, and the optical calculation function is: In the formula, V(ρ) is the gas vacuum degree, c is the speed of light, t is the time it takes for light to pass through the gas, χ is a constant related to the gas properties, and ρ is the gas density.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the vacuum degree of the gas to be tested can be obtained quickly, with less influence from the number of gas molecules.

[0016] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, after determining the change method of the N first change values ​​of the film capacitor capacitance, the method further includes: inputting acoustic time data into an acoustic calculation function to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be tested, wherein the acoustic time data is the time for the acoustic wave to pass through the gas to be tested in the film capacitor, and the acoustic calculation function is: In the formula, V(ρ) is the gas vacuum degree, m is the gas mass, t is the time it takes for the sound wave to travel through the gas, and v is the speed of the sound wave.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the vacuum degree of the gas to be tested can be obtained quickly, with less influence from external factors, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of gas vacuum degree detection.

[0018] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, after determining the change method of the N first change values ​​of the film capacitor capacitance, the method further includes: inputting the electrical signal generated by the gas to be tested into an electrical signal calculation function to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be tested, wherein the electrical signal calculation function is: In the formula, V(ρ) is the gas vacuum degree, α is the gas ionization degree measured by the electrical signal, x is the highest value of the electrical signal calculation function within the measured gas vacuum degree range, and y is the lowest value of the electrical signal calculation function within the measured gas vacuum degree range.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the vacuum degree of the gas to be tested can be obtained quickly without being affected by external factors, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of gas vacuum degree detection.

[0020] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a system for detecting gas vacuum based on a thin-film capacitor. The system includes: a control module, configured to: determine the changing patterns of N first change values ​​of the thin-film capacitor capacitance; receive data measured by the thin-film capacitor; obtain M second change values ​​of the thin-film capacitor capacitance when the measurement time is increased according to a first instruction; output an average change value; obtain a third change value of the thin-film capacitor capacitance when the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be measured according to a second instruction until the changing trend of the thin-film capacitor capacitance remains unchanged; send a first instruction to the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time when the change value of the thin-film capacitor capacitance is fluctuating up and down; and send a second instruction to the gas delivery device to increase the input rate of the gas to be measured when the change value of the thin-film capacitor capacitance is a unilateral change. The measurement module is used to receive a first instruction to increase the measurement time of the thin-film capacitor when the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is fluctuating up and down, so that the thin-film capacitor increases the measurement time according to the first instruction; and to send a second instruction to the gas delivery device to increase the input rate of the gas to be measured when the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is unilateral, so that the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be measured according to the second instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged.

[0021] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, some embodiments further include: a gas delivery module, used to control the input and output rate of the gas to be measured in the vacuum measuring container after receiving a second instruction sent by an external computer; a display module, used to display the processed data after the external computer has processed each data; and a direct calculation module, used to directly obtain the gas vacuum degree of the gas to be measured based on an artificial intelligence model or calculation function after the gas to be measured is input.

[0022] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes: one or more processors and a memory; the memory is coupled to one or more processors and is used to store computer program code, the computer program code including computer instructions.

[0023] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium, including instructions.

[0024] Understandably, the virtual module provided in the second aspect, the electronic device provided in the third aspect, and the computer-readable storage medium provided in the fourth aspect are all used to execute the technology trend determination method based on the intelligent model of this application. Therefore, the beneficial effects they can achieve can be referred to the beneficial effects in the corresponding methods, and will not be repeated here.

[0025] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: 1. By employing a method of judging the changes in N first values ​​of the film capacitor's capacitance; when the change in the film capacitor's capacitance fluctuates up and down, a first instruction to increase the measurement time is sent to the film capacitor, causing the film capacitor to increase the measurement time according to the first instruction; when the film capacitor increases the measurement time according to the first instruction, M second values ​​of the film capacitor's capacitance are obtained, where M is greater than N; the average change value is output; when the change in the film capacitor's capacitance is unilateral, a second instruction to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested is sent to the gas delivery device, causing the gas delivery device to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested according to the second instruction until the trend of the change in the film capacitor's capacitance remains unchanged; when the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be tested according to the second instruction until the trend of the change in the film capacitor's capacitance remains unchanged, a third value of the film capacitor's capacitance is obtained. This effectively solves the problem of inaccurate gas vacuum detection caused by different gas molecules and non-sealed vacuum containers, thereby improving the accuracy of gas vacuum detection.

[0026] 2. By setting a tolerance range when the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor fluctuates irregularly, a second change value is obtained by filtering the second change value within the tolerance range to obtain a reliable change value. The reliable change value is the second change value within the tolerance range. After obtaining the reliable change value by filtering the second change value within the tolerance range, a fourth change value is obtained, which is the average of the reliable change values. This effectively solves the problem of the irregular fluctuation of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor, solves the problem in special cases, and improves the accuracy of gas vacuum detection.

[0027] 3. By employing a method that detects whether the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged when the input rate of the gas to be tested is increased to its maximum in the gas delivery equipment; if the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor does not remain unchanged, a third instruction is sent to the gas delivery equipment to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested, causing the gas delivery equipment to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged; when the gas delivery equipment reduces the output rate of the gas to be tested according to the third instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged, a fifth change value of the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is obtained. This fifth change value is the change value when the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains unchanged, effectively solving the problem caused by the leakage rate of the gas to be tested being greater than the gas delivery rate of the gas delivery equipment, and improving the accuracy of gas vacuum detection.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The terminology used in the following embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to include the plural expressions as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application refers to any or all possible combinations including one or more of the listed items.

[0030] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario for measuring the operating environment and architecture of a gas vacuum.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 In laboratories or forging workshops requiring a high degree of gas vacuum for testing, the gas delivery system feeds the gas into a vacuum measuring container containing a thin-film capacitor. As the gas enters the capacitor, its molecules collide with the electrodes, attracting electrons and causing a change in capacitance. The capacitor then outputs N initial values ​​of this change to an external computer. This computer calculates the gas vacuum level based on these N values; smaller values ​​indicate a higher vacuum. The external computer then displays the measured gas vacuum level on a monitor.

[0033] It is understood that the external computer mentioned above can be a terminal device with computing and control functions, such as a tablet or desktop computer, and there is no limitation here.

[0034] It is understood that the aforementioned film capacitor can be a capacitor with measurement function, such as a metal film capacitor or a ceramic film capacitor, etc., and no limitation is made here.

[0035] It is understood that the aforementioned gas transmission equipment can be any equipment that transports and controls the gas rate, and this is not limited here.

[0036] Figure 2 This is an exemplary scenario diagram illustrating an error that occurs when measuring gas vacuum using related technologies.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown in Figure (a), the gas being tested input into the gas delivery device contains different types of gas molecules, indicating impurity. These different gas molecules vary in size and shape, leading to different interactions with the surface of the thin-film capacitor. Some gas molecules may adsorb onto the thin-film surface, forming a thin film that alters the dielectric layer structure and performance of the capacitor, resulting in unstable capacitance. The thin-film capacitor outputs its measured data to a computer, which displays the capacitance change as fluctuating up and down, a problem that cannot be resolved using the current system. Figure 2 As shown in Figure (b), a leak in the vacuum measurement container alters the gas pressure inside. A film capacitor stores charge by creating an electric field within a dielectric film. When a gas leak occurs, gas molecules may permeate into the dielectric film, changing its insulating properties and altering the electric field distribution of the capacitor, thus changing its capacitance. The film capacitor outputs its detected data to a computer, which displays the capacitance change as a unilateral change, making it impossible to resolve the issue using the current system. Both of these situations lead to inaccurate detection of the gas vacuum level.

[0038] However, existing technologies cannot solve the problem of inaccurate gas vacuum detection caused by differences in gas molecules and non-sealed vacuum containers, and the accuracy of gas vacuum detection needs to be improved.

[0039] This application provides a gas vacuum detection method based on a thin-film capacitor. The method involves determining the changing patterns of N first values ​​of the thin-film capacitor's capacitance; if the changing pattern is fluctuating up and down, a first instruction to increase the measurement time is sent to the thin-film capacitor, causing it to increase the measurement time accordingly; if the measurement time is increased according to the first instruction, M second values ​​of the thin-film capacitor's capacitance are obtained, where M is greater than N; the average value of the change is output; if the changing pattern is unilateral, a second instruction to increase the input rate of the gas to be measured is sent to the gas delivery device, causing it to increase the input rate until the changing trend of the thin-film capacitor's capacitance remains unchanged; if the gas delivery device increases the input rate until the changing trend of the thin-film capacitor's capacitance remains unchanged, a third value of the thin-film capacitor's capacitance is obtained.

[0040] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario where the main solution of this application changes by floating up and down.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown in Figure (a), when the gas to be measured is impure, the computer issues a first instruction to the thin-film capacitor, which is to increase the measurement time of the thin-film capacitor. Figure 3 As shown in Figure (b), the computer continuously monitors the capacitance change value obtained from the film capacitor measurement to obtain more capacitance change data, making the gas vacuum degree of the gas to be measured reliable data. When the amount of data is large enough, the accuracy of the data can be guaranteed, and an accurate gas vacuum degree can be obtained. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario where the main scheme of this application is changed in a unilateral manner.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure (a), in the event of a leak in the vacuum measuring container, the computer issues a second command to the gas delivery device, instructing the device to increase the gas delivery rate. Figure 4 As shown in Figure (b), the computer continuously monitors the capacitance change of the thin-film capacitor until the capacitance change remains constant. Increasing the gas delivery rate of the gas delivery equipment keeps the gas pressure inside the vacuum container balanced, thus maintaining a constant capacitance change. The computer monitor displays the value of the constant capacitance change.

[0043] Based on the above scenario diagram, the following is a flowchart illustrating the main solution of this application: Please see Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the main scheme of this application.

[0044] S501. Determine the manner in which the N first change values ​​of the capacitance of a film capacitor change. A gas delivery device inputs the gas to be tested into a vacuum measuring container. A thin-film capacitor measures the gas; the input of the gas causes a change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor. The changes obtained from N measurements within a first time period are then sent to an external computer. The external computer determines the manner in which the N initial changes in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor occur. These N initial changes represent the capacitance changes of the thin-film capacitor when a problem is detected. The gas delivery device includes an input pipe and an output pipe. The input pipe is the channel through which the gas to be tested enters the vacuum measuring container, and the output pipe is the channel through which the gas to be tested exits the vacuum measuring container. The gas delivery device is controlled by an external computer.

[0045] It is understandable that the external computer can be a terminal device with computing and control functions, such as a tablet or desktop computer, and there is no limitation here.

[0046] S502. When the change in the capacitance of the thin film capacitor is a fluctuating up and down, a first instruction to increase the measurement time is sent to the thin film capacitor, so that the thin film capacitor increases the measurement time according to the first instruction. When the external computer determines that the N first changes in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor are fluctuating up and down, it sends a first instruction to the thin-film capacitor to increase the measurement time. When this first instruction is executed, the measurement time of the thin-film capacitor is increased, allowing it to measure more changes in capacitance. The fluctuating up and down pattern of the N first changes in capacitance is due to the different types of gas molecules, i.e., the gas is impure.

[0047] Understandably, the increased measurement time is determined based on the actual situation; the longer the time, the more reliable the data. No limit is set here.

[0048] S503. When the measurement time of the thin film capacitor is increased according to the first instruction, M second change values ​​of the capacitance of the thin film capacitor are obtained. After the film capacitor increases the measurement time, it sends the detected M second change values ​​to an external computer, where M is greater than N.

[0049] S504, Output the average change value; The external computer analyzes and calculates the M second change values, takes the average value of the M second change values, and outputs the average change value.

[0050] It is understandable that the data obtained by averaging the M second change values ​​can have other names, such as reliable change value, etc., and there is no restriction here.

[0051] S505. When the change in the capacitance of the thin film capacitor is a one-sided change, a second instruction to increase the input rate of the gas to be measured is sent to the gas delivery equipment, so that the gas delivery equipment increases the input rate of the gas to be measured according to the second instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin film capacitor remains unchanged. When the external computer determines that the N first changes in the capacitance of the film capacitor are unilateral, it issues a second instruction to the film capacitor to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested. Upon execution of this second instruction, the gas delivery device increases the input rate of the gas to be tested until the trend of the change in the film capacitor capacitance remains unchanged. Maintaining the unchanged trend of the film capacitor capacitance can be achieved when the input rate is greater than or equal to the gas leakage rate.

[0052] S506. When the gas transmission equipment increases the input rate of the gas to be measured according to the second instruction until the trend of the change value of the film capacitor capacitance remains unchanged, the third change value of the film capacitor capacitance is obtained.

[0053] Once the trend of the change in the capacitance of a film capacitor remains unchanged, this constant value becomes the third change in the capacitance of the film capacitor.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the external computer issues corresponding instructions based on the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor, which can effectively solve the problem of inaccurate gas vacuum detection caused by different gas molecules and non-sealed vacuum containers, and improve the accuracy of gas vacuum detection.

[0055] However, when the change in the capacitance of the aforementioned thin-film capacitor is characterized by fluctuations or unilateral changes, increasing the measurement time or the gas delivery rate cannot yield an accurate value for the change in the capacitance. In such cases, special steps are required to resolve the issue.

[0056] The following is a flowchart illustrating one variation of an embodiment of this application, illustrating an embodiment that addresses the inability to obtain accurate values ​​of the change in capacitance of a thin-film capacitor by increasing the measurement time: Please see Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating one variation of an embodiment of this application.

[0057] S601. When the capacitance of a film capacitor changes irregularly and fluctuates up and down, a tolerance range shall be set. The capacitance of the film capacitor fluctuates irregularly, which is caused by the presence of multiple gas molecules in the gas being tested. In this case, an external computer is used to set a tolerance range that includes reliable capacitance changes of the film capacitor. Setting this tolerance range can filter out abnormal changes, thus improving the accuracy of the measured values.

[0058] It is understandable that the tolerance range set by the external computer can have other names, such as confidence range, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0059] S602. Based on the tolerance range, the second change value is filtered to obtain the trust change value; The external computer filters the second change value within the tolerance range to obtain the trust change value, which is a reliable change value.

[0060] S603. After filtering the second change value according to the tolerance range to obtain the trust change value, the fourth change value is obtained.

[0061] The external computer obtains a fourth change value, which is the average of the trust change values.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the external computer obtains a trustworthy change value by filtering the second change value, which can filter out abnormal change values ​​and solve the problem that the gas to be tested contains multiple gas molecules.

[0063] The following is a flowchart illustrating another variation of this embodiment, illustrating how increasing the gas delivery rate cannot yield an accurate change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor: Please see Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating another variation of the embodiments of this application.

[0064] S701. When the input rate of the gas to be tested is increased to the maximum in the gas transmission equipment, check whether the trend of the change value of the capacitance of the film capacitor remains unchanged. When the external computer sends a second instruction to the gas delivery equipment to increase the input rate of the gas to be tested to the maximum, the change trend of the capacitance of the film capacitor is detected.

[0065] S702. If the trend of the change in the capacitance of the film capacitor does not remain unchanged, a third instruction to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested is sent to the gas transmission equipment, so that the gas transmission equipment reduces the output rate of the gas to be tested according to the third instruction until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the film capacitor remains unchanged. The gas delivery equipment has an upper limit on the rate at which gas can be input. When the maximum input rate is reached, the external computer detects that the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor is not constant. It then sends a third instruction to the gas delivery equipment to reduce the output rate of the gas being tested. This third instruction causes the gas delivery equipment to reduce the output rate of the gas being tested until the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor remains constant. In essence, the gas being tested is output through the outlet pipe of the gas delivery equipment. When the input rate of the gas delivery equipment reaches its maximum, the output rate of the gas being tested can be reduced to balance the input and output, thereby maintaining the trend of the change in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitor.

[0066] Understandably, the external computer continuously monitored the film capacitor during this period.

[0067] S703. When the gas transmission equipment reduces the output rate of the gas to be measured according to the third instruction until the trend of the change value of the film capacitor capacitance remains unchanged, the fifth change value of the film capacitor capacitance is obtained.

[0068] When the trend of the change in the capacitance of the film capacitor remains unchanged, the external computer obtains the fifth change value of the capacitance of the film capacitor. This fifth change value is the change value when the trend of the change in the capacitance of the film capacitor remains unchanged.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the external computer sends a third instruction to the gas delivery device to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested. This causes the gas delivery device to reduce the output rate of the gas to be tested according to the third instruction until the trend of the change value of the film capacitor capacitance remains unchanged. This solves the problem that increasing the gas delivery rate cannot obtain an accurate change value of the film capacitor capacitance.

[0070] The above embodiments illustrate how this gas vacuum measurement system addresses the inaccuracy of detected gas vacuum levels caused by differences in gas molecules and imperfect vacuum containers. Below, we provide an artificial intelligence model and several calculation functions to directly calculate the vacuum level of the gas to be measured: After a gas is input into a vacuum measuring container, the change in capacitance of a thin-film capacitor is input into a gas vacuum prediction model to obtain the vacuum level of the gas. This gas vacuum prediction model contains the gas vacuum levels corresponding to all changes in the capacitance of the thin-film capacitors generated after a gas is input into the vacuum measuring container. The model then uses the changes in capacitance of the thin-film capacitors as input to determine the vacuum level of the gas. The optical time data is input into the optical calculation function to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be measured. The optical time data is the time it takes for light to pass through the gas to be measured in the thin-film capacitor. The optical calculation function is as follows: In the formula, V(ρ) is the gas vacuum degree, c is the speed of light, t is the time for light to pass through the gas, χ is a constant related to the gas properties, and ρ is the gas density; The acoustic time data is input into the acoustic wave calculation function to obtain the vacuum degree of the gas to be measured. The acoustic time data is the time it takes for the acoustic wave to pass through the gas to be measured in the thin film capacitor.
