Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a mid-infrared sensor for oil quality monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Oil quality monitoring is a key link to ensure the safe operation of large rotating machinery and equipment. At present, mid-infrared spectroscopy analysis technology has become an important means of oil quality monitoring because it can simultaneously detect multiple characteristic components in oil. When real-time monitoring is performed in oil circulation spaces such as bypass detection pipelines, due to the weak characteristic absorption peaks of the mid-infrared spectrum, traditional mid-infrared sensors need to use low-temperature refrigerated quantum detectors and high-temperature refrigerated thermal radiation light sources to obtain sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. This refrigeration structure not only makes the lateral size of the sensor too large, making it inconvenient to install on the bypass detection pipeline, but also the power consumption of the refrigeration system is usually above 10W, making it difficult for the sensor to achieve long-term stable operation. In addition, the existence of the refrigeration system also increases the volume and weight of the sensor, making the design and fixation of the mounting bracket complicated. Therefore, without reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of spectral measurement, realizing the non-refrigeration and miniaturization of mid-infrared sensors is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field of oil quality monitoring.

[0092] The mid-infrared sensor provided by the present application realizes the non-cooling of the sensor by adopting a combination of a thermal radiation light source 2011 and a thermopile detector 2021.
