Description

Technical Field

[0002] Conductivity is an important physical quantity that measures the ability of a conductor to conduct electricity and is widely used in fields such as materials science, chemical engineering, and electronics. Traditional conductivity measurement methods, such as voltammetry and bridge balance, require the conductor to be directly connected to the circuit for measurement, which is a contact-based measurement.

[0003] However, these contact measurement methods have significant drawbacks: although the voltammetry method can measure resistance, it is only applicable to poor conductors and is difficult to accurately measure low-resistance conductors; the bridge balance method requires finding a metal wire with a conductivity close to that of the conductor to be measured as a reference, which is particularly difficult when facing unknown conductors.

[0004] In addition, contact measurement methods inevitably damage the surface of the sample to be tested, especially conductors with protective coatings or natural oxide layers, as well as active metals such as sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. Once the surface is damaged, serious consequences such as spontaneous combustion or explosion may occur, further limiting the scope of application of traditional methods. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, like numbers in different figures represent like or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 1 is a wiring diagram of a non-contact conductivity measuring device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 , providing a non-contact conductivity measuring device, comprising:

[0060] RLC circuit composed of resistor, capacitor and inductor in series, signal generator, oscilloscope, calculation module (in Figure 1 not shown in the figure);

[0061] The inductor is composed of a solenoid and a conductor rod to be measured, and the conductor rod to be measured is placed at the center of the solenoid;

[0062] The signal generator serves as an input voltage source of the RLC circuit;

[0063] The oscilloscope is used to monitor the voltage signal across the capacitor and the voltage signal across the input voltage source;

[0064] The calculation module is used to obtain the resonant frequency of the RLC circuit based on the ratio of the voltage signal across the capacitor and the voltage signal across the input voltage source; and is also used to calculate the conductivity of the conductor rod to be measured based on the outer radius of the conductor rod to be measured, the outer radius of the solenoid, the length of the solenoid, the number of tightly wound turns of the solenoid, the capacitance value of the capacitor and the resonant frequency.

[0065] It is understood that the contactless conductivity measurement device shown in this embodiment includes an RLC circuit composed of a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor connected in series, a signal generator, an oscilloscope, and a calculation module; the inductor is composed of a solenoid and a conductor rod placed at the center of the solenoid; the signal generator serves as the input voltage source of the RLC circuit; the oscilloscope is used to monitor the voltage signal across the capacitor and the voltage signal across the input voltage source; the calculation module is used to obtain the resonant frequency of the RLC circuit based on the ratio of the voltage signal across the capacitor to the voltage signal across the input voltage source; and is also used to calculate the conductivity of the conductor rod to be measured based on the outer radius of the conductor rod to be measured, the outer radius of the solenoid, the length of the solenoid, the number of turns of the solenoid, the capacitance value of the capacitor, and the resonant frequency. It is understood that the technical solution shown in this embodiment can measure the conductivity of the conductor rod without contact and with high test accuracy.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the contactless conductivity measuring device, when the calculation module calculates the conductivity of the conductor rod to be measured, it includes:

[0067] The conductivity of the conductor rod to be tested is calculated according to the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, σ c is the conductivity of the conductor rod to be measured, f is the resonant frequency, a is the outer radius of the conductor rod to be measured, b is the outer radius of the solenoid, C is the capacitance value of the capacitor, N is the number of turns of the solenoid, and l is the length of the solenoid.

[0070] According to the eddy current principle, when an alternating current passes through a solenoid coil, a changing magnetic field is generated around it, which in turn induces eddy currents inside the conductor to be measured (whether it is a solid rod conductor or a liquid in a liquid container). The magnetic field generated by the eddy current will in turn affect the inductance of the solenoid coil. This effect is directly related to the conductivity of the conductor, and the conductivity σ can be directly calculated through electrodynamics. c Approximate relationship with inductance value L:

[0071]

[0072] By directly measuring the response characteristics of the AC resonant circuit (such as the change in resonant frequency), the inductance value can be indirectly measured:

[0073]

[0074] Then the conductivity σ of the conductor is indirectly calculated through the relationship between inductance and conductivity c :

[0075]

[0076] AC resonance refers to the phenomenon in an AC series RLC circuit where, at a specific frequency, the interaction between the inductor, capacitor, and resistor causes the circuit's impedance to reach a minimum. This specific frequency is called the resonant frequency.

[0077] The series RLC circuit consists of a resistor R, an inductor L, and a capacitor C in series. For alternating current, its total impedance Z consists of three parts:

[0078] The resistance R, which is independent of frequency; the inductive reactance Z of the inductor L =2πfl, proportional to the frequency; the capacitive reactance of the capacitor Inversely proportional to frequency.

[0079] Resonance occurs when the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, that is:

[0080] Z L =Z C

[0081] at this time:

[0082]

[0083] From the above formula, the resonant frequency f0 can be obtained:

[0084]

[0085] At the resonant frequency f0, the inductive and capacitive reactances of the circuit cancel each other out, causing the total impedance Z of the circuit to be minimal, leaving only the resistance R: Z = R.

[0086] At this point, the impedance of the circuit is lowest, the current reaches its maximum value, the phase difference between voltage and current is zero, and the circuit behaves as a pure resistor.

[0087] When using AC resonance to measure inductance, according to the characteristics of series RLC AC resonance, when the current is maximum, that is, when resonance is reached, the voltage division of each circuit component reaches the maximum. The voltage division across the inductor and capacitor can be several times or even dozens of times higher than the power supply voltage. Therefore, it is a good method to use the maximum voltage division of the inductor or capacitor to determine whether the resonant frequency has been reached.

[0088] Because the conductor rod inserted into the solenoid generates eddy currents, it operates similarly to a transformer. Consequently, the eddy current losses generated in the conductor are reflected back into the solenoid, creating an additional resistance. Therefore, measuring the voltage across the solenoid actually measures the voltage divided by the inductance, the additional resistance, and the resistance of the enameled wire, which interferes with the determination of the resonant frequency. However, measuring the voltage across a capacitor avoids this problem.

[0089] Therefore, we choose to use the oscilloscope to sweep the frequency to find the frequency f0 corresponding to the maximum voltage across the capacitor, which is used to calculate the measured inductance value, and finally combined with the theoretical expression to convert it into the measured metal inductance value.

[0090]

[0091] Among them, U C is the voltage value across the capacitor; U0 is the voltage value across the input voltage source; U L is the voltage across the inductor; Z C is the capacitance impedance; R 总 is the total resistance; ω0 is the angular frequency; C is the capacitance; Z L is the inductor impedance; L is the inductance; Q is the quality factor.

[0092] ω0=2πf0

[0093] So the measured value of inductance is:

[0094]

[0095] The relationship between conductivity and inductance is calculated based on electrodynamics as follows:

[0096] Regarding the electrodynamic equations and boundary conditions, the direction of the magnetic field in the solenoid is perpendicular to the paper as shown in the figure. Figure 2 , which is approximately considered to satisfy the conditions of an ideal solenoid.

[0097] The conductor bar is located in the center of the solenoid. In the conductor bar area:

[0098] B=μH (μ remains unchanged)

[0099] Among them, B is the magnetic induction intensity; μ is the magnetic permeability; H is the magnetic field strength.

[0100] Assume that the field inside the conductor is harmonic, that is: E = E0e -iωt , then:

[0101]

[0102] Among them, j 位 is the displacement current density; j 传 is the conduction current density; ε is the relative dielectric constant.

[0103] The condition for ignoring displacement current is |j 位 / j 传 |<<1, requirement ω<<10 17 s -1 .

[0104] Substitute the quasi-steady field conditions into Maxwell's equations:

[0105]

[0106] j is the current density; ρ e is the stacking charge density.

[0107] Substitute the general governing equations and gauge equations under quasi-steady fields:

[0108] B=μH,D=εE

[0109]

[0110] j=σ c E

[0111] ρ e =0

[0112] The field equations of the electric field and magnetic field under this condition can be solved immediately:

[0113]

[0114] The equations for E and H under quasi-steady conditions are diffusion equations.

[0115] Consider the boundary conditions: the magnetic field intensity H and the electric field intensity E are continuous in the tangential direction. The boundary value relationship between the magnetic induction intensity B and the electric displacement vector D in the normal direction.

[0116] Magnetic field inside and outside the solenoid: Considered as an ideal solenoid, we have:

[0117]

[0118] n is the number of coil turns per unit length; I0 is the coil current.

[0119] Electric field inside and outside the solenoid: If the eddy electric field intensity is continuous, then:

[0120] E 管外 (b) = E 管内 (b)

[0121] Magnetic field boundaries inside and outside the conductor rod: The tangential component of the magnetic field intensity is continuous, then:

[0122] H 内 (ρ)=H 外 (ρ)

[0123] The magnetic field boundary inside and outside the conductor rod: the eddy electric field intensity is continuous, then:

[0124] E 棒外 (a) = E 棒内 (a)

[0125] The field governing equation under the boundary conditions of the column function is the diffusion equation:

[0126]

[0127] Exact electrodynamic solution for the change in inductance:

[0128] Consider the outer radius of the solenoid to be b and the inner conductor rod to be of radius a.

[0129] Assume that sinusoidal alternating current flows through the circuit The distribution of magnetic and electric fields can be solved:

[0130] Exact solution of magnetic field distribution:

[0131] remember Indicates that the direction of the magnetic field is along the z-axis, see Figure 3 Upper part; H(ρ) represents the magnitude of the magnetic field, e -iωt Indicates that the magnitude of the magnetic field changes with time, see Figure 4 .

[0132]

[0133] Exact solution of electric field distribution:

[0134] remember Indicates that the electric field is an eddy electric field along Direction, see Figure 3 Lower part; E(ρ) represents the magnitude of the electric field, e -iωt represents the change of magnetic field magnitude over time, see Figure 4 .

[0135]

[0136] Find special solutions involving complex numbers:

[0137] In the above formula, J0 and J1 are Bessel functions, μ is the magnetic permeability, and σ is the c is the conductivity, ρ is the distance from the center of the circle, k is the inverse of the skin depth, μ0 is the vacuum permeability, and i is the imaginary unit. Due to the continuity boundary condition of E, the electric field in the solenoid wire is:

[0138]

[0139] Integrating along the electric field lines yields:

[0140] Inductor voltage division:

[0141]

[0142] Points earned:

[0143]

[0144] According to the complex impedance theory, we can simplify the solution to:

[0145] inductance:

[0146]

[0147] Eddy current loss resistance:

[0148]

[0149] The imaginary and real parts of the above equation can be solved separately using the Bessel function addition formula and the imaginary quantity Bessel function, and the numerical value can be calculated using computer programming.

[0150] J1(x(i+1)), J0(x(i+1)) and See the programming calculation function for Figure 5 .

[0151] Program to draw the exact solution of electrodynamics L(ω) and R L (ω) function graph see Figure 6 .

[0152] Approximate solution of exact solution under certain conditions:

[0153] In the frequency range required for measurement |k 2 |=μσ c If ω is large enough, the approximate formula of the Bessel function can be obtained:

[0154]

[0155] The inductance is approximately expressed as:

[0156]

[0157] in,

[0158] In specific practice, the first step is to measure basic physical quantities, such as the outer radius of the conductor rod to be measured, the outer radius of the solenoid, the length of the solenoid, and the capacitance value of the capacitor.

[0159] Connect one channel of the oscilloscope to both ends of the capacitor to monitor the voltage signal across the capacitor; connect the other channel of the oscilloscope to both ends of the input voltage source (signal generator); use the oscilloscope to perform automatic frequency sweep, and at the same time, the oscilloscope monitors the output voltage in real time.

[0160] It should be noted that, in the contactless conductivity measuring device, when the calculation module obtains the resonant frequency of the RLC circuit based on the ratio of the voltage signal across the capacitor to the voltage signal across the input voltage source, the calculation module includes:

[0161] Calculate the voltage ratio of the voltage signal across the capacitor to the voltage signal across the input voltage source;

[0162] When the voltage ratio is maximum, the frequency of the RLC circuit at this time is obtained as the resonant frequency.

[0163] After obtaining the outer radius of the conductor rod to be measured, the outer radius of the solenoid, the length of the solenoid, the capacitance value of the capacitor and the resonant frequency, the conductivity of the conductor rod to be measured can be calculated by combining the number of densely wound turns of the solenoid and substituting them into the formula.

[0164] It should be noted that, in the non-contact conductivity measuring device, the calculation module at least includes: a frequency response analyzer;

[0165] The frequency response analyzer is used to generate a frequency sweep image according to the voltage signal across the capacitor and the voltage signal across the input voltage source; and the calculation module is used to obtain the resonant frequency according to the frequency sweep image.

[0166] In practice, a frequency response analyzer can record the U c The value of / U0 also plots the frequency sweep image, see Figure 7 . Read the frequency sweep diagram, U c The frequency f at which the value of / U0 is maximum and the corresponding quality factor Q.

[0167] The conductor rods are made of non-ferromagnetic conductors: copper, aluminum, tungsten, molybdenum, zinc, chromium, lead, titanium, and graphite. The theoretical resonance curves and waterfall diagrams of all measured conductors are shown in the table below. Figure 8 .

[0168] The data obtained from the first experiment are shown in Table 1, and the data obtained from the second experiment are shown in Table 2.

[0169] Table 1

[0170]

[0171] Table 2

[0172]

[0173] Then, by changing the capacitance value connected to the circuit, the resonant frequency will also change. Use the same method to measure and record the resonant frequency f and quality factor Q corresponding to different capacitance values.

[0174] It should be noted that the contactless conductivity measuring device further includes:

[0175] The capacitance measuring module is used to measure the capacitance value of the capacitor.

[0176] In practice, when measuring the capacitance of a monolithic capacitor, in order to avoid the error that may be introduced by poor contact when clamping the capacitor pins with alligator clips when using a multimeter directly, a separate breadboard was used, and a capacitance measurement module was constructed using the jacks and wires on it. The capacitance measurement module can connect the monolithic capacitor to the measurement circuit through a stable and reliable connection, thereby more accurately reading its capacitance value. In this way, the reliability of the measurement data can be further improved.

[0177] For data processing, experimental measurements of inductance:

[0178]

[0179] Theoretical inductance value:

[0180]

[0181] The conductivity σ can be solved immediately c :

[0182]

[0183] Measure the conductivity and basic measurement values ​​of customized pure copper, aluminum, tungsten, zinc, lead, molybdenum, titanium, chromium, and graphite. See Table 3 for basic measurement values ​​and Table 4 for conductivity.

[0184] Table 3

[0185]

[0186] Table 4

[0187]

[0188]

[0189] Compared with the standard conductivity, the errors are as follows: the reference conductivity of pure copper is 59.5, with an error of 1.80%; the reference conductivity of aluminum is 37.7, with an error of 2.81%; the reference conductivity of tungsten is 18.9, with an error of 2.54%; the reference conductivity of molybdenum is 17.5, with an error of 2.91%; the reference conductivity of zinc is 16.6, with an error of 3.25%; the reference conductivity of lead is 9.6, with an error of 1.88%; the reference conductivity of chromium is 7.8, with an error of 4.74%; the reference conductivity of titanium is 2.3, with an error of 2.17%.

[0190] By changing the resonant frequency of the circuit by replacing the capacitor, the inductance values ​​at different frequencies are obtained and compared with the standard inductance value. The theoretical inductance waterfall diagram of each conductor rod is obtained. Figure 9It can be seen that the measurement error is very small and the error bar is not obvious. It can be seen that the data points as a whole fall on the theoretical curve, the trend is the same, and there is only a small deviation.
