Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment fault diagnosis and evaluation, and in particular to a device and method for detecting SF6 decomposition products using a tunable photoacoustic spectrometer. Background Art

[0002] In photoacoustic spectroscopy, the photoacoustic cavity plays a key role, and its function is to provide continuous and stable amplification for the acoustic signal. The built-in microphone in the photoacoustic cavity converts the acoustic wave signal into a processable electrical signal. A properly designed resonant cavity can achieve photoacoustic resonant amplification, effectively suppress background noise, and significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio, thus showing higher practicality. However, the traditional dumbbell-shaped (H-shaped) resonant cavity design has limitations. It has buffer cavities at both ends, a resonant cavity in the middle, and a fixed length of the resonant cavity, which limits the continuous adjustability of the resonant frequency, making it impossible to accurately reach the maximum resonant frequency to obtain the strongest resonant signal, thereby affecting the sensitivity of the analysis.

[0003] In addition, the design of the traditional resonant cavity requires that the light beam emitted by the light source be collimated and pass through the resonant cavity, which makes the optical path relatively limited, reducing the chance of photoacoustic interaction between the gas molecules being measured and the incident light, thereby reducing the detection sensitivity. This type of resonant cavity also fails to effectively avoid the influence of airflow noise, resulting in large deviations in the measurement signal. Especially when conducting on-site detection of SF6 decomposition components, this fixed resonant cavity structure cannot be accurately adjusted to the optimal resonant state, and the internal gas flow and complex environmental conditions, as well as the shorter infrared optical path, may introduce additional noise interference. Therefore, in the process of gas detection, achieving the tunability of the resonant cavity and effectively extending the infrared optical path are crucial to improving the accuracy of signal measurement.

[0004] Prior art CN111380805A discloses a photoacoustic cell with adjustable resonant frequency and an adjustment method, which belongs to the field of gas detection technology. The photoacoustic cell provided by the prior art includes a first buffer chamber, a second buffer chamber, a resonant cavity, a first light window, a second light window, a first movable structure, and a second movable structure. The prior art uses piezoelectric ceramics to improve the originally fixed buffer chamber and resonant cavity into an movable structure with adjustable structural parameters. The shortcomings of the prior art documents are that multiple groups of piezoelectric ceramics are used to adjust the length of the resonant cavity. The piezoelectric ceramics are limited by their own working principles and the adjustment of the length of the resonant cavity is very limited. The introduction of multiple groups of piezoelectric ceramics has dramatically increased the manufacturing cost of the photoacoustic cell. Piezoelectric ceramics use voltage to drive the expansion and contraction of the ceramic volume to achieve the regulation of its external geometric dimensions. External noise is introduced in the regulation process, which affects the accuracy of photoacoustic spectroscopy measurement to a certain extent. Summary of the invention
