Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal detection, and in particular relates to a metal detection device with noise suppression and high detection accuracy. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, most metal detection system devices are balanced coil systems. The balanced coil system includes three coils. The middle transmitting coil is driven by a power circuit to generate a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic field in the space inside the probe. The receiving coils are evenly and equidistantly distributed on both sides of the transmitting coil, so that the signals received by the two receiving coils are the same. When disturbance or metal foreign matter passes through the probe, the two receiving coils will generate a specific voltage difference and phase difference. After that, the signal is processed by a demodulation and amplification circuit to obtain a corresponding response signal, thereby detecting metal foreign matter.

[0003] Since metal detection devices are generally used at the end of the production line, the use environment is very complex. In a complex electromagnetic environment, it is easy to generate additional interference noise that affects the detection accuracy. When detecting products, metal detectors usually encounter foods such as fresh meat, sauces, and high-salt foods. These products have a certain conductivity. Especially when the product is large in size, a large "product signal" will be generated when the product passes through the probe. This signal will seriously affect the subsequent signal processing circuit's processing of the metal foreign body signal, thereby seriously affecting the actual detection accuracy. Suppressing the size of the product signal and improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the metal foreign body signal is the key to improving the detection performance of metal detection equipment. How to suppress noise interference and suppress product signals is an important issue in the research and development of online metal detection equipment. Summary of the invention

[0071] Device implementation principle:

[0072] The product to be detected includes metal foreign matter, and the length of the product to be detected in the probe detection direction is several times the length of the metal foreign matter in the probe detection direction, and the length of the product to be detected in the probe detection direction is much greater than the length of the metal foreign matter in the probe detection direction.

[0073] Therefore, when the product passes through the probe, the product signal generated is also relatively large due to the generally large product size. The receiving coil 1 and the receiving coil 2 are differential structures. When the product passes through the receiving coil 1, a positive (or negative) single extreme value point signal will be generated. When passing through the receiving coil 2, a negative (or positive) single extreme value point signal will be generated (the two signals have opposite polarities). The differential signal of the two coils is a signal with two extreme points. The product signal generated by the reference coil 1 and the reference coil 2 when the product passes through the reference coil 1 and the reference coil 2 is basically the same as the product signal generated by the receiving coil 1 at the same time except for the amplitude. Similarly, the product signal generated by the reference coil 3 and the reference coil 4 is basically the same as the product signal generated by the receiving coil 2 except for the amplitude. When the product signal generated by the reference coils 1, 2, 3, and 4 is controlled by the adaptive control circuit to control the parameters of the amplification and filtering circuit to control its gain, the combined operation skill is used to fit the product signal that is basically consistent with the receiving coil. Thus, the product signal is offset.

[0074] When a metal foreign body passes through the probe at the same time, due to the very small volume of the metal foreign body, the metal signals generated by the metal in the reference small circles 1 and 2 and the receiving coil 1 at the same time have great differences in phase and amplitude. Similarly, the metal foreign body signals generated by the reference coils 3 and 4 are also very different from the metal foreign body signals generated by the receiving coil 2. Therefore, the metal signal generated in the reference coil cannot be fitted into the metal signal generated in the receiving coil, so the metal signal cannot be eliminated. The product signal generated by the reference signal can be offset by fitting the product signal consistent with the receiving coil, while the metal signal cannot be offset by the same method, thereby suppressing the product signal and improving the performance of metal signal detection. When a metal foreign body passes through the probe at the same time, due to the very small volume of the metal foreign body, the metal signals generated by the reference small circles 1 and 2 and the receiving coil 1 have great differences in phase and amplitude. Similarly, the metal foreign body signals generated by the reference coils 3 and 4 are also very different from the metal foreign body signals generated by the receiving coil 2. Therefore, the metal signal generated in the reference coil cannot be fitted into the metal signal generated in the receiving coil, so the metal signal cannot be eliminated. The product signal generated by the reference signal can be offset by fitting a product signal that is consistent with the receiving coil, while the metal signal cannot be offset by the same method, thereby suppressing the product signal and improving the performance of metal signal detection. At the same time, when a metal foreign body passes through the probe, due to the very small volume of the metal foreign body, the metal in the reference small circles 1 and 2 and the metal signal generated by the receiving coil 1 have great differences in phase and amplitude. Similarly, the metal foreign body signals generated by the reference coils 3 and 4 are also very different from the metal foreign body signals generated by the receiving coil 2. Therefore, the metal signal generated in the reference coil cannot be fitted into the metal signal generated in the receiving coil, so the metal signal cannot be eliminated. The product signal generated by the reference signal can be offset by fitting a product signal that is consistent with the receiving coil, while the metal signal cannot be offset by the same method, thereby suppressing the product signal and improving the performance of metal signal detection.

[0075] Embodiment 2:

[0076] The parts not mentioned in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0077] This embodiment includes a probe coil and a signal processing circuit;

[0078] The coil model consists of a conventional transmitting coil, receiving coils 1 and 2 equidistantly distributed next to the transmitting coil, and four reference coils equidistantly distributed at the edge of the probe. The distance between the receiving coils and the reference coils varies according to the size of the probe. Reference coils 1 and 2 are arranged outside the receiving coil 1 at the edge of the probe, respectively distributed on the upper and lower sides of the probe, and reference coil 2 is horizontally symmetrical with reference coil 1.

[0079] Reference coil 3 and reference coil 4 are arranged outside the receiving coil 2 at the edge of the probe, respectively distributed on the upper and lower sides of the probe. Reference coil 3 and reference coil 4 are horizontally symmetrical and the distance between the reference coil and the corresponding receiving coil is consistent. In actual use, the length and size of the product are much larger than the metal foreign body. The product signal induced by the receiving coil and the product signal generated by the reference signal are relatively close. The metal foreign body signal induced by the receiving coil and the metal foreign body signal generated by the reference signal have large differences in amplitude and phase. The reference coil is arranged in this way, which can better fit and generate the same product signal as the balancing coil, thereby offsetting the product signal to a certain extent.

[0080] The signal processing circuit includes a signal receiving and demodulating circuit, an adaptive noise cancellation circuit, an adaptive product cancellation circuit, and an AD acquisition circuit.

[0081] The working principle of the equipment is that the transmitting coil generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field in the probe window, and the receiving coil and the reference coil induce corresponding induced electrical signals in the magnetic field. The signals on the receiving coil and the reference coil are processed accordingly through the signal receiving and demodulation circuit. After that, the circuit noise signal of the detection circuit is suppressed by the adaptive noise elimination circuit, and the adaptive product cancellation circuit is combined with the reference coil signal to suppress the size of the product signal to ensure the detection of the metal signal. Because the product signal in the reference coil signal is close to the product signal in the receiving coil, and the metal foreign body signal in the reference coil signal and the metal foreign body signal in the receiving coil have large differences in amplitude and phase, the reference coil signal can be used to cancel the size of the product signal in the receiving coil.

[0082] The output signal y(x) of the signal receiving and demodulating circuit is composed of the metal foreign body signal Acos(K1ω1), the product signal Bcos(K2ω2), and the noise signal S(t).

[0083] y(x)=Acos(L1ω1)+B cos(L2ω2)+S(t)

[0084] like Figure 3As shown, the noise reference circuit controls the parameters of the amplifying and filtering circuits 3 and 4 through the adaptive control circuit 1 to process the y(x) signal, so that the metal foreign body signal Acos(K1ω1) and the product signal Bcos(K2ω2) in the amplifying and filtering circuit 3 signal are offset by the metal foreign body signal Acos(L1ω1) and the product signal Bcos(K2ω2) in the amplifying and filtering circuit 4 signal, and only the noise signal S(t) is retained. Then, it is subtracted from the signal of the amplifying and filtering circuit 2 in the detection signal circuit, thereby greatly attenuating the noise component in the detection signal circuit, and only the metal foreign body signal and the product signal are retained.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the parameters of the amplifying filter circuit 6, the amplifying filter circuit 7, the amplifying filter circuit 8, and the amplifying filter circuit 9 are controlled by the adaptive control circuit 2 to process the reference coil 1 signal, the reference coil 2 signal, the reference coil 3 signal, and the reference coil 4 signal, thereby offsetting the product signal Bcos (L2ω2) in the amplifying filter circuit 5 signal and retaining the metal foreign body signal Acos (L1ω1), thereby suppressing the size of the product signal, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the metal foreign body signal, and improving the detection accuracy of the equipment.
