Raman spectroscopy can provide information on the structure and chemical bonds of molecules and is widely used in detection in the fields of chemistry, materials science, biomedicine, environmental science, etc.

[0003] The spectral detection equipment in related technologies is mostly single-channel single-point detection. If multi-channel detection is to be performed, multiple single-channel probe units are generally spliced ​​together. The optical path groups between such probe units are relatively independent, and the size of the structure after splicing is large. Its miniaturization requires proportional reduction of all optical elements in the probe unit, such as lenses and dichroic mirrors. In addition to being limited by the size of the optical elements, its assembly and calibration are also very difficult. Summary of the invention

The collecting assembly is detachably connected to the collecting part, and the collecting assembly includes at least two groups of collecting tubes, which are used to focus and couple the collected optical signals into the optical fiber for transmission to the detector; the incident assembly is located on one side of the light-transmitting surface of the dichroic mirror, and the dimming assembly and the collecting assembly are located on one side of the light-reflecting surface of the dichroic mirror; the light from the incident tube passes through the light-transmitting surface of the dichroic mirror to point to the dimming assembly, and passes through the dimming assembly; when the light passing through the dimming assembly converges on the sample to be tested to excite the signal light, the signal light of the sample to be tested passes through the dimming assembly for collimation, and is reflected to the collecting tube through the reflective surface of the dichroic mirror.

After the sample to be tested is excited by the laser, the molecules and the electron clouds and molecular bonds in the molecules interact with each other, and the Raman effect occurs. Photons excite the molecules from the ground state to a virtual energy state. The inelastic scattering signal caused by the vibration of molecular bonds can be used to measure and reflect a lot of information about the sample to be tested, such as the molecular structure and chemical bond information.

[0061] The present application provides a Raman spectrum detection device, referring to Figure 1 , including a laser 1, a detector 2, a Raman spectrum detection probe 3 and a sample carrier 7. The laser 1 emits a laser, and the laser enters the Raman spectrum detection probe 3. After being processed by beam expansion, collimation, filtering and focusing in the Raman spectrum detection probe 3, the laser is emitted to the sample carrier 7 on which the sample to be tested is placed. The sample to be tested is excited to produce a Raman effect and generate an excited light signal. The excited light signal is again processed by collimation, reflection and focusing in the Raman spectrum detection probe 3, and then transmitted to the detector 2.

[0062] Among them, the laser 1 is a device for emitting light for excitation. The detector 2 may include a spectrometer 21 and a photodetector 22. The Raman signal is first processed by the spectrometer 21 and then enters the photodetector 22 for distinguishing and detecting. Specifically, for example, the spectrometer 21 can be used to separate signal lights of different wavelengths in space or time, so that signal lights of different wavelengths have spatial or temporal resolution when reaching the photodetector 22 array, which is convenient for detection by the photodetector 22.

The controller 4 is used to control the laser 1 and the detector 2 and process the information detected by the detector 2. Specifically, the controller 4 can control the opening and closing of the laser 1, the parameters of the laser emitted by the laser 1, etc.; the controller 4 can also control the grating switching in the spectrometer 21 in the detector 2 and the opening and closing of the photodetector 22; the controller 4 can also obtain the information detected by the detector 2, and perform operations such as calculation, processing, and storage.

For example, the one-to-many excitation unit 5 can be a fiber optic beam splitter, which can transmit the output light of the laser 1 from one optical fiber and split it into multiple excitation light transmission optical fibers, and transmit them to multiple optical channels corresponding to the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 respectively.

[0066] The signal light collecting unit 6 is arranged between the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 and the detector 2. The signal light collecting unit 6 transmits the multi-channel signal light excited by the sample to be tested in the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 in parallel to the entrance of the detector 2, and aligns them with the corresponding analysis channels respectively to perform corresponding analysis detection, etc.

[0070] The dichroic mirror 35 arranged in the support 31 can allow the light to pass through one side of the light-transmitting surface, while the light directed to the side of the reflective surface will be reflected, that is, the incident component 32 is located on the side of the light-transmitting surface of the dichroic mirror 35, and the dimming component 33 and the collecting component 34 are located on the side of the reflective surface of the dichroic mirror 35; in this way, the incident tube is connected to the laser and expands and collimates the incident light, and then the light passes through the light-transmitting surface of the dichroic mirror 35 and points to the dimming component 33, and the dimming component 33 focuses the incident light on the sample to be tested below it to excite the signal light, and the signal light passes through the dimming component 33 again and is expanded and collimated, and reaches the bottom of the dichroic mirror 35 and is reflected by the reflective surface of the dichroic mirror 35 to the collecting tube 341, thereby realizing the excitation and collection of spectral detection.

[0071] Compared with the related art, since the incident component 32 and the collection component 34 are detachably connected to the incident part 311 and the collection part 313, respectively, they can be easily disassembled and assembled; and when calibration is required, the incident component 32 and the collection component 34 can be easily disassembled or displaced relative to the support 31, and the calibration operation is very simple. At the same time, it also provides more possibilities for the expansion and setting of the incident component 32 and the collection component 34 themselves. For example, at least two groups of incident tubes 321 can be set on the incident component 32, and at least two groups of collection tubes 341 can be set on the collection component 34 to assemble into a multi-channel Raman spectroscopy detection device.

[0072] Therefore, the Raman spectrum detection probe provided in the present application can perform multi-channel parallel detection, and can achieve miniaturization limited only by the size of the lens and arbitrary expansion of the number of channels, and the optical path is compact, and the assembly and optical path calibration are simple and easy to operate.

[0073] It should be noted that among the three positions of the connection between the incident part 311 and the incident component 32, the connection between the dimming part 312 and the dimming component 33, and the connection between the collecting part 313 and the collecting component 34, which are provided on the support 31, at least one position can realize a detachable connection, so that the assembly and calibration of the corresponding positions can be simple and easy to operate. For example, in some embodiments, any one of the connection between the incident part 311 and the incident component 32, the connection between the dimming part 312 and the dimming component 33, and the connection between the collecting part 313 and the collecting component 34 is a detachable connection; in other embodiments, the connection between the incident part 311 and the incident component 32, the connection between the dimming part 312 and the dimming component 33, and the connection between the collecting part 313 and the collecting component 34 are all detachable connections.

[0074] For the convenience of description, the connection between the incident part 311 and the incident component 32, the connection between the dimming part 312 and the dimming component 33, and the connection between the collecting part 313 and the collecting component 34 are introduced below as detachable connection solutions.

[0075] In some embodiments, in order to realize the connection between the incident part 311 and the incident component 32, the connection between the dimming part 312 and the dimming component 33, and the connection between the collecting part 313 and the collecting component 34, the detachable connection at these positions further facilitates assembly. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The incident part 311, the dimming part 312 and the collecting part 313 can all be groove structures, and the incident component 32, the dimming component 33 and the collecting component 34 can be adapted block structures. The groove structure has a limiting function. When the block structure cooperates with the groove structure, it is necessary to adapt the shape of the groove structure, which can play a guiding and positioning role, and further facilitate assembly.

[0076] Of course, in some embodiments, the positions of the groove structure and the block structure can be interchanged, that is, the incident part 311, the dimming part 312 and the collecting part 313 can all be block structures, and the incident component 32, the dimming component 33 and the collecting component 34 can be matching groove structures. In this embodiment, the block structure and the groove structure can also be matched to guide and position the assembly between them, making the assembly more convenient.

[0077] The groove structure can be formed by a concave portion with closed side walls formed on the support 31, or at least one side wall can penetrate the support 31. In comparison, the groove structure with closed side walls has better positioning and limiting, while the groove structure with at least one side wall penetrating the support 31 can facilitate the installation of the corresponding block structure. For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 At least one side of the groove structure passes through the support 31, and the block structure can slide into the groove structure along the side of the groove structure passing through the support 31, and the block structure and the groove structure are positioned and fixed by fasteners. In this way, the block structure can slide into the groove structure through the side of the groove structure passing through the support 31, making the installation process more convenient, and the relative position can be adjusted by sliding, and the assembly and calibration operations are simpler.

[0078] On this basis, in order to ensure the positioning and fixation when installed at the required position, gluing, mortise and tenon structure, or fasteners can be used to position and fix the block structure and the groove structure. Fasteners include but are not limited to bolts and nuts, self-tapping screws, rivets, pins, etc.

[0079] It should be noted that at least one side of the groove structure passes through the support 31, including multiple implementations, for example, only one side of the groove structure passes through the support 31, or the groove structure has multiple sides passing through the support 31. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The groove structure has two opposite sides, and the two opposite sides penetrate the support 31. In this way, the groove structure is unobstructed in the direction of penetrating the support 31, and the block structure can be easily slid into the groove structure from either side, and in the process of calibrating the position, there is at least two directions of adjustment space, making the calibration more convenient and accurate.

[0080] In the cooperation between the block structure and the groove structure, the block structure is limited by the side wall of the groove structure. At the same time, in order to limit the cooperation between the block structure and the groove structure when they are abutted, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the block structure includes a base and a boss formed on one side of the base, and the shape of the boss is compatible with the shape of the groove structure. When the block structure and the groove structure are assembled, the boss can slide into the interior of the groove structure accordingly, and part of the base abuts against the periphery of the groove structure on the support 31, so that the assembly positioning of the block structure and the groove joint is more complete and the assembly is more stable.

[0081] In some embodiments of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 of the present application, in order to reduce costs, some structures can be designed in a standardized manner. For example, the shape and size of the groove structure of the incident part 311 and the collecting part 313 on the support 31 are consistent, the shape and size of the incident component 32 and the collecting component 34 are consistent, and the block structure is adapted to the groove structure. In this way, the outer dimensions of the incident component 32 and the collecting component 34 can be designed and produced in a standardized manner to achieve efficient mass production, and the components can be mutually compatible, which is convenient for quality control and reduces production and use costs.

[0082] Of course, in some embodiments, the shapes and sizes of the groove structures of the incident portion 311 and the collecting portion 313 on the support 31 may also be inconsistent, and the specific structural dimensions may be designed according to actual needs.

[0083] In the embodiment of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 of the present application, since the incident component 32, the dimming component 33 and the collection component 34 can be detachably connected to the support 31, the incident component 32, the dimming component 33 and the collection component 34 can be designed and manufactured in a modular manner to be suitable for detection with different requirements. For example, the incident component 32 and the collection component 34 can be separately set with multiple channels, and multiple incident components 32 and collection components 34 with different numbers of channels can be set. The same is true for the dimming component 33, and multiple dimming components 33 suitable for samples of different sizes or quantities can be designed and manufactured. Before assembling the Raman spectrum detection probe 3, the incident component 32 and the collection component 34 with the required number of channels, as well as the dimming component 33 that can be adapted to the corresponding sample to be tested can be selected first, and then the three can be assembled on the support 31 respectively to complete the installation of the device and perform corresponding detection.

[0084] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the multiple channels are arranged in the incident component 32 and the collecting component 34 in the following manner: the incident component 32 also includes an incident block 322, the incident block 322 is provided with at least two incident holes 323, and the incident tubes 321 are arranged in the incident holes 323 in a one-to-one manner; the dimming component 33 also includes a mounting plate 331, the mounting plate 331 is provided with at least two dimming holes 332, and the dimming tubes are arranged in the dimming holes 332 in a one-to-one manner; the collecting component 34 also includes a collecting block 342, the collecting block 342 is provided with at least two collecting holes 343, and the collecting tubes 341 are arranged in the collecting holes 343 in a one-to-one manner; the number of the incident tubes 321, the dimming tubes and the collecting tubes 341 is the same, and the outgoing light of the incident tube 321 excites the sample to be tested to generate signal light after passing through the dimming tube, and the excited signal light passes through the dimming tube again and is collected by the collecting tubes 341 in a one-to-one manner. By respectively arranging the incident hole 323 , the dimming hole 332 and the collecting hole 343 on the incident block 322 , the mounting plate 331 and the collecting block 342 , the incident tube 321 , the dimming tube and the collecting tube 341 can be installed and arranged accordingly.

[0085] Reference Figure 5 The number of incident tubes 321, dimming tubes and collecting tubes 341 are all multiple, the incident tubes 321 array is arranged on the incident block 322, the dimming tube array is arranged on the mounting plate 331, and the collecting tubes 341 array is arranged on the collecting block 342. The array arrangement is distributed to improve the utilization of space and contribute to the compactness of the structure. And multi-channel spectral parallel detection is realized.

[0086] It should be noted that the incident tube 321, the dimming tube and the collecting tube 341 can all be structures that can expand, collimate or focus the light to meet the requirements of optical path transmission. At the same time, the incident tube 321 and the collecting tube 341 need to communicate with other external devices for optical signals, and thus optical fibers need to be installed or spatial optical transmission can be used.

[0087] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In the structure of the incident component 32, a plurality of incident holes 323 are provided on the incident block 322, so that the incident tube 321 can be installed; in the structure of the dimming component 33, a plurality of dimming holes 332 are provided on the mounting plate 331, so that the dimming tube can be installed; in the structure of the collecting component 34, a plurality of collecting holes 343 are provided on the collecting block 342, so that the collecting tube 341 can be installed. That is, in some embodiments of the present application, the incident component 32 can select and transfer different incident tubes 321 according to actual needs, so as to facilitate assembly and adapt to different incident light requirements, and if any of these incident tubes 321 has a problem, it can be removed separately and replaced quickly. Moreover, the incident tube 321 that can be removed and installed separately, in addition to adjusting the optical path with the movement of the incident block 322, can also achieve independent alignment and adjustment by relying on its separate cooperation with the incident hole 323, so that the dimming is more flexible and convenient; similarly, the structures of the dimming component 33 and the collecting component 34 can also be easily replaced and adjusted. Compared with the method of directly integrating all optical fiber channels on a board, it is very conducive to mass production and optical path calibration.

[0088] For example, the structures of the incident tube 321, the dimming tube and the collecting tube 341 can be common, see Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 In some embodiments, the structure may include a sleeve 36 and a lens 37, which is connected to the corresponding structure through the sleeve 36, and collimates or focuses the light through the lens.

[0089] The dimming tube may also include only a lens 37, which is disposed in the sleeve 36 and is used to focus or collimate the light passing therethrough; the incident tube 321 and the collecting tube 341 also include an optical fiber, which is connected to a side of the sleeve 36 away from the dichroic mirror. The lens 37 is used to collimate or focus the light and process the light.

[0090] The lens component 37 of the incident tube 321 is used to collimate the divergent incident light, the lens component 37 of the dimming tube is used to focus the parallel incident light and collimate the divergent signal light, and the lens component 37 of the collecting tube 341 is used to focus the parallel signal light.

[0091] It should be noted that the light at the dimming tube is directly transmitted inside the probe, and the dimming tube only processes the optical signal and does not need to be transmitted through optical fiber. The far end of the incident tube 321 needs to be connected to the laser 1, and the laser of the laser 1 can be transmitted to the incident tube 321 through optical fiber or spatial light; one end of the collecting tube 341 needs to be connected to the detector 2 through optical fiber or spatial light. Therefore, the structure of the dimming tube only needs the sleeve 36 and the lens part 37, and one end of the sleeve 36 of the incident tube 321 and the collecting tube 341 will also be connected to the optical fiber (if the spatial light solution is adopted, there may be no optical fiber). The optical fiber can be plugged into the sleeve through the jack set in the sleeve 36, that is, on one side of the lens part 37, the sleeve 36 is connected to the pigtail core, and the plugged optical fiber is used to transmit the optical signal. For example, refer to Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 , which are several embodiments in which the rear end of the lens member 37 is also connected to an optical fiber; Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 , there are several embodiments in which the lens component 37 is not connected to the optical fiber. The lens component 37 determines the main function of processing the optical path. In the embodiment of the present application, the lens component 37 arranged at the incident tube 321 needs to expand and collimate the incident light. The lens component 37 arranged at the collecting tube 341 is opposite to the incident tube 321 and needs to focus the light into the optical fiber for transmission. The lens component 37 arranged at the dimming tube has two directions of action at the same time, one is to focus and converge the incident light when passing through it so as to illuminate the sample to be tested, and the other is that when the light signal excited on the sample to be tested passes through the dimming tube in the opposite direction, the dimming tube will collimate the scattered light signal.

[0092] For example, several embodiments of lens groups are described below. Fig.10 and Fig.14 In some embodiments, the lens member 37 is a gradient refractive index lens or gradient refractive index optical lens, which is a cylindrical structure and is adapted to the inside of the sleeve 36. The refractive index distribution of the internal material of the lens member 37 changes gradually along its axial direction. The outer contour of such a gradient refractive index lens is generally cylindrical, and focusing or collimation is achieved through the distribution of its internal material, which is convenient for assembly with the sleeve 36 and easy to position. For example, the refractive index of the internal material of the lens member 37 is gradually reduced from the center to the edge along the radial direction.

[0093] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.15 In some embodiments, the lens member 37 includes a convex lens, which is coaxially arranged with the sleeve 36 and fixed in the sleeve 36. That is, a convex lens is arranged in the sleeve 36 to achieve focusing or collimation of the optical signal. The convex lens has low cost, is easy to fix and install, and is convenient to adjust.

[0094] In some embodiments, the lens member 37 is a lens group having a focusing or collimating function, which includes at least one concave lens and at least one convex lens. The lens group and the sleeve 36 are coaxially arranged and fixed in the sleeve 36. The focusing and collimating effects of a single convex lens are limited, so multiple convex lenses and multiple concave lenses can be stacked to achieve a better focusing or collimating effect.

[0095] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.16 In some embodiments, the lens element 37 is a meta-lens, including a light-transmitting substrate 371 and a micro-structure texture area 372 formed on at least one surface of the light-transmitting substrate 371. The lens element 37 and the sleeve 36 are coaxially arranged and fixed in the sleeve 36. The micro-structure texture is a lot of tiny structural textures processed on the surface of the light-transmitting substrate, such as Fresnel lens texture. The meta-lens can achieve a larger range of more efficient focusing or collimation effects within a very small size range, which is more conducive to layout miniaturization.

[0096] The microstructure texture area 372 can be arranged on both sides of the light-transmitting substrate 371, or can be arranged on only one side. For example, refer to Fig.12 and Fig.16 The light-transmitting substrate 371 is a flat plate structure, and the microstructure texture area 372 is arranged on a side of the light-transmitting substrate 371 facing the dichroic mirror.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Fig.13 and Fig.17 The light-transmitting substrate 371 is a convex lens structure, a concave lens structure or a curved surface structure with a flat side and a convex side, and the microstructure texture area 372 is arranged on the plane of the light-transmitting substrate 371 and faces any side of the dichroic mirror 35. That is, the light-transmitting substrate 371 itself can also be a lens, and through different microstructure texture areas 372 and different shapes of the light-transmitting substrate 371, there can be a variety of designs and implementations of lens components 37 with different light processing requirements.

[0098] During the optical signal transmission process inside the probe, there may be some stray light that will affect the accuracy of detection. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the incident component 32 also includes a first filtering structure 324, and the collecting component 34 also includes a second filtering structure 344. The first filtering structure 324 is arranged on the optical path between the inside of the incident component 32 and the dichroic mirror 35 or on the optical path between the laser 1 and the incident component 32, and the second filtering structure 344 is arranged on the optical path between the dichroic mirror 35 and the inside of the collecting component 34 or on the optical path between the collecting component 34 and the detector 2.

[0099] In a possible implementation of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first filter structure 324 is a first filter, the second filter structure 344 is a second filter, the first filter is arranged at one end of the incident tube 321 facing the dichroic mirror 35, and the second filter is arranged at one end of the collecting tube 341 facing the dichroic mirror 35. Among them, the first filter is used to filter out stray light other than the excitation wavelength; it can be a bandpass filter, or it can be replaced by coating at the end of the incident light receiving end of the excitation fiber receiving laser 1 or the end of the part entering the probe; the second filter is used to filter out Rayleigh light; it can be a longpass filter, or it can be replaced by coating at the incident end of the signal detection fiber or the incident end of the detector 2.

[0100] In some other embodiments, the first filter structure 324 and the second filter structure 344 can both be filter coatings, which are respectively disposed in the incident tube 321 and the collecting tube 341. The filter coating can be plated on the lens 37 or in the sleeve 36, or at the entrance and exit of the laser 1 and the detector 2, etc., as long as they are on the path of light signal transmission. The specific range can be: the filter coating can be disposed in the incident tube 321 and the collecting tube 341, or between the laser 1 and the incident tube 321, and between the collecting tube 341 and the detector 2.

[0101] In addition, the sample loading basic unit on the dimming component 33 can be in the size of millimeters or micrometers. Figure 5 The dimming component 33 may include a mounting plate 331 and a dimming tube (not shown in the figure), the mounting plate 331 is used to carry the dimming tube; the dimming tube is arranged in the dimming hole 332 of the mounting plate 331 and is located between the sample carrier 7 and the dichroic mirror 35, and is used to focus or collimate the light signal passing through the dimming tube.

[0102] In some embodiments of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 of the present application, the transmission and direction change of the optical signal inside the support 31 are mainly achieved through the dichroic mirror 35. In addition, there should be no other opaque components blocking the optical path between the optical signal and the dichroic mirror 35. Therefore, some structures made of transparent materials can be set on this optical path, or light-transmitting holes can be directly reserved. For example, refer to Figure 5 The support 31 is a square structure surrounded by a plurality of plate-like structures, and a light-transmitting area 314 is formed inside. The incident component 32 and the dimming component 33 are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the support 31 .

[0103] In order to make the structure of the entire Raman spectrum detection probe 3 more compact, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The dichroic mirror 35 is a complete large piece for easy installation and is compatible with multiple parallel light paths passing or reflecting at the same time. It is located in the light-transmitting area 314. The light of the incident component 32 is along the first direction toward the dimming component 33. The dichroic mirror 35 is located on the light path of the incident component 32 toward the dimming component 33, and the dichroic mirror 35 has an angle with the first direction and is not vertically arranged. The collecting light path of the collecting component 34 is the second direction, and the second direction has an angle with the first direction.

[0104] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the laser light of the incident component 32 passes through the light-transmitting surface of the dichroic mirror 35 along the first direction, and is directed to the sample to be tested below the dimming component 33. The signal light generated by the excitation of the sample to be tested is reflected back to the reflective surface of the dichroic mirror 35, and then is reflected, changes direction, and is directed to the collecting component 34 from the second direction, completing the detection and collection process of the probe. Since the first direction and the second direction have an angle, the positions of the incident component 32 and the collecting component 34 corresponding to the first direction and the second direction will be set at different positions or side walls of the support 31, and can be adjusted and arranged according to actual needs, thereby making good use of the space on the support 31, and reasonably arranging the spatial positions of the incident component 32 and the collecting component 34, so as to achieve a compact structure of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular, the dichroic mirror 35 has the same angle with the first direction and the second direction, and the signal light generated at the dimming component 33 is emitted toward the dichroic mirror 35 along the first direction and reflected toward the collecting component 34 along the second direction. Figure 5 When the support 31 is roughly rectangular in structure as a whole, the first direction can be a vertical direction, the second direction can be a horizontal direction, the incident component 32 can be set on the top surface of the support 31, the dimming component 33 can be set on the bottom surface of the support 31, and the collecting component 34 can be set on the side wall of the support 31. In this way, the space on the outer wall of the support 31 is reasonably utilized, making the structure compact.

[0106] The side walls around the support 31 can be flexibly provided with the collecting components 34, and the collecting components 34 can be one set or multiple sets. For example, in some embodiments, the incident component 32 is provided on the top wall of the support 31, the collecting component 34 is provided on the side wall of the support 31, and there is one dichroic mirror 35, which is inclined at a first angle relative to the horizontal plane, wherein the first angle is an acute angle.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the parallel optical paths can share a large dichroic mirror 35, making the entire assembly simple and easy.

[0108] For example, in some other embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, there are at least two collecting components 34 (i.e., including two embodiments and multiple embodiments), and they are respectively located on two opposite side walls (opposite or adjacent side walls) of the support 31, and there are two or more dichroic mirrors 35. Taking two as an example, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The upper ends of the two dichroic mirrors 35 are respectively inclined toward the two corresponding collecting components 34, so as to reflect the signal light generated at the dimming component 33 to the corresponding collecting components 34. In this way, the signal light of a part of the channels transmitted from the dimming component 33 is reflected by one of the dichroic mirrors 35 into one collecting component 34, and the signal light of another part of the channels is reflected by the other dichroic mirror 35 into another collecting component 34. Through the arrangement of the two dichroic mirrors 35, the signal light at different channel positions can be respectively transmitted to two different collecting positions, and collected by the collecting components 34 located at different positions of the support 31. The free space parallel to the first direction is fully utilized to arrange the collecting components, providing a more flexible arrangement method.

[0109] There are many embodiments for the relative position relationship between the two or more dichroic mirrors 35. For example, the two or more dichroic mirrors 35 can be placed opposite to each other or adjacent to each other. Figure 8 In some embodiments, two or more dichroic mirrors 35 may be placed opposite to each other; Fig. 9 In some embodiments, two or more dichroic mirrors 35 may be placed adjacent to each other; the bottom ends of the dichroic mirrors 35 may be butted together, or, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 There is a spacing area between the lower ends of the two dichroic mirrors 35 , and an isolation protrusion is provided in the support 31 corresponding to the spacing area, and the isolation protrusion separates the lower ends of the two dichroic mirrors 35 .

[0110] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the positioning and installation of the dichroic mirror 35, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support 31 includes an upper seat 315 and a lower base 316, which are buckled together to form the support 31. A avoidance groove 317 is provided at the connection between the upper seat 315 and the lower base 316, and the avoidance groove 317 is adapted to the edge shape of the dichroic mirror 35. Further, when installing the dichroic mirror 35, the upper seat 315 and the lower base 316 can be separated, the dichroic mirror 35 can be placed at the corresponding position of the lower base 316, and then the upper seat 315 can be buckled, and the dichroic mirror 35 can be buckled in the avoidance groove 317.

[0111] For easy installation, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the surface where the upper seat 315 and the lower base 316 meet is adapted to the setting direction of the dichroic mirror 35, and the avoidance groove 317 is set on the lower base 316. In this way, when installing the dichroic mirror 35, the dichroic mirror 35 can be placed in the avoidance groove 317 of the lower base 316 first, and the dichroic mirror 35 will be limited by the avoidance groove 317, and the upper seat 315 can be smoothly buckled on the lower base 316, so that the installation of the dichroic mirror 35 is very convenient.

[0112] It should be noted that the shape of the support 31 can have many embodiments, such as a sphere, a cone, a cylinder, etc. The arrangement of the dichroic mirror 35 can be designed and arranged according to more practical needs. For example, two square dichroic mirrors 35 are symmetrically placed to form a conical structure. Figure 8 As shown, or two square dichroic mirrors 35 are placed adjacent to each other, as shown Fig. 9 As shown, alternatively, the dichroic mirror 35 and the collecting assembly 34 can be an annular structure surrounding the side wall of the support 31.

[0113] In addition, the Raman spectrum detection device provided in the present application includes a laser 1, a detector 2, the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 of the above-mentioned embodiment, a sample carrier 7, a controller 4, a multi-excitation unit 5, and a signal light collection unit 6. The incident tube 321 of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 is connected to the laser 1 through the multi-excitation unit 5, and the collection tube 341 is connected to the detector 2 through the signal light collection unit 6; the controller 4 controls the laser 1 to emit a laser, and the laser emitted by the laser 1 enters the incident tube 321 of the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 through the multi-excitation unit 5, and then is emitted onto the sample to be tested on the sample carrier 7. After excitation, the signal light generated by the sample to be tested returns to the Raman spectrum detection probe 3 again, is collected by the collection tube 341, and then is transmitted to the detector 2 through the signal light collection unit 6.
