Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of infrared induction technology, and particularly relates to a lithium tantalate infrared induction network system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Infrared induction technology plays an important role in many fields, such as environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, security monitoring, smart home, etc. By detecting the infrared radiation emitted by an object, the temperature, movement and other information of the object can be perceived. Lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) is an important ferroelectric material with excellent piezoelectric, electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties, and is widely used in the field of infrared detection. It can realize the collection, transmission and processing of multi-point infrared signals, and provide more comprehensive and accurate monitoring means for various application scenarios.

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN118215382A discloses a lithium tantalate pyroelectric infrared detector and a manufacturing method thereof. The detector comprises, from bottom to top, a support substrate, a heat insulation layer, a first bonding layer, a second bonding layer, a first electrode layer, a lithium tantalate wafer, a second electrode layer and an infrared absorption layer. The support substrate and the heat insulation layer together form a composite support structure, which realizes overall support of the lithium tantalate wafer and avoids the problem of local suspension of the lithium tantalate wafer in the existing lithium tantalate pyroelectric infrared detector. The ability of the lithium tantalate pyroelectric infrared detector to resist external mechanical vibration is improved, and the microphone effect of the lithium tantalate pyroelectric infrared detector is greatly reduced. At the same time, the heat conductivity of the heat insulation layer is less than or equal to 0.05 W / (m·K), which can ensure the heat insulation performance and maintain the high detection rate of the lithium tantalate pyroelectric infrared detector.

[0004] In the above-mentioned patent, the heat conduction efficiency and heat insulation effect are improved by the design of the support substrate boss and the heat insulation layer. However, the heat conductivity of the heat insulation layer is still relatively high (≤0.1 W / (m·K)), which may cause some heat to still dissipate to the environment, affecting the thermal response performance of the detector. In addition, the material selection of the heat insulation layer, such as inorganic aerogel and organic aerogel, may have stability problems in actual application. In addition, the pyroelectric charge generated by the lithium tantalate wafer needs to be transmitted to the external circuit through multiple layers, including the first electrode layer, the second bonding layer and the first bonding layer, which increases the complexity of signal transmission and potential signal loss.

The lithium tantalate wafer has a thickness of 10-50 μm, and the first and second electrode layers are made of platinum material with a thickness of 50-200 nm to balance mechanical strength and pyroelectric performance.

[0037] The signal transmission link includes conductive vias that penetrate the support substrate and are filled with gold and copper materials with a resistivity of ≤2μΩ·cm. It directly connects the first electrode layer to the external readout circuit to ensure good conductivity.

[0038] Infrared absorption film, made of vanadium oxide ( It is composed of nanostructures with a thickness of 0.5-2 μm to balance absorption efficiency and mechanical stability of the film;

[0039] The distributed module features a built-in adaptive noise suppression algorithm and supports synchronous acquisition of signals from multiple nodes.

[0040] The ultra-low thermal conductivity insulation layer includes a reinforcing skeleton, which is a three-dimensional network structure formed by blending silicon carbide nanowires with an aerogel matrix and has a compressive strength ≥5 MPa. The reinforcing skeleton also includes a shielding layer, which is doped with zirconia nanoparticles with a particle size of 10-50 nm and an infrared reflectivity ≥90% to perform radiation shielding.

[0041] The polarization direction of the lithium tantalate wafer is perpendicular to the electrode plane to ensure the maximization of the pyroelectric effect, thereby improving the sensitivity of infrared detection; the cutting angle θ of the lithium tantalate wafer is 36°±2° to make the lithium tantalate wafer have the best pyroelectric coefficient after polarization.

[0042] The polarization treatment of lithium tantalate wafers adopts the electric field polarization method, with a polarization electric field strength of 10-30 kV / cm, a polarization temperature of 80-120℃, and a polarization time of 10-30 minutes, to ensure that the electric domains inside the wafer are fully oriented and aligned, thereby obtaining good pyroelectric performance.

[0043] The gold and copper materials filling the conductive vias are chemically plated to ensure good conductivity and mechanical strength; the parasitic capacitance of the conductive vias is ≤0.1pF to reduce noise interference during signal transmission.

[0044] The nanostructure consists of one or more of nanowires, nanotubes, or nanoparticles to achieve effective absorption of infrared light; the infrared absorption film has an infrared absorption rate of ≥95% and exhibits excellent absorption performance in the infrared band of 3-14μm.

[0045] The distributed module employs a wavelet transform-Kalman filter hybrid algorithm to achieve noise suppression ≥40dB, sampling rate ≥3MHz, and signal-to-noise ratio ≥90dB in the frequency domain range of 0.1-100Hz. The distributed module also integrates a temperature compensation unit, dynamic bias circuit, and digital filtering module to further improve the system's stability and detection accuracy.

[0046] The working principle of this invention is as follows: when external infrared radiation is incident on the system, it is first absorbed by the infrared absorption film. This film is made of vanadium oxide ( The lithium tantalate sensor module, composed of nanostructures such as nanowires, nanotubes, or nanoparticles, achieves an absorption rate of ≥95% in the 3-14μm infrared band. These nanostructures, through their unique physical properties, efficiently convert absorbed infrared light energy into heat energy, causing temperature changes in the lithium tantalate sensor module that is tightly bonded to the infrared absorption film. The polarization direction of the lithium tantalate wafer is perpendicular to the electrode plane, and it undergoes precise cutting angle (θ = 36°±2°) and electric field polarization treatment (polarization electric field strength 10-30 kV / cm, polarization temperature 80-120℃, polarization time 10-30 minutes) to ensure the fully oriented arrangement of its internal electric domains. This results in a significant pyroelectric effect when the temperature changes, achieving efficient conversion of heat energy into electrical energy. In this process, the first and second electrode layers (platinum material, thickness 50-200nm) not only provide the necessary electrode structure for the pyroelectric effect but also ensure the stability of the sensor module through their excellent mechanical strength.

[0047] The weak electrical signal generated by the lithium tantalate sensing module is transmitted quickly and with low loss to the external readout circuit through conductive vias in the signal transmission link. The conductive vias penetrate the supporting substrate and are filled with gold and copper materials with a resistivity ≤2μΩ·cm, ensuring good conductivity. Simultaneously, the conductive vias are filled using a chemical plating method, giving them excellent mechanical strength and enabling them to withstand complex operating environments. Furthermore, the parasitic capacitance of the conductive vias is ≤0.1pF, effectively reducing noise interference during signal transmission and ensuring signal integrity. During signal transmission, the distributed module plays a crucial role. Its built-in adaptive noise suppression algorithm, employing a wavelet transform-Kalman filter hybrid algorithm, achieves noise suppression ≥40dB, a sampling rate ≥3MHz, and a signal-to-noise ratio ≥90dB in the frequency domain range of 0.1-100Hz. This algorithm can monitor noise during signal transmission in real time and automatically adjust filtering parameters to adapt to different noise environments.

[0048] The distributed module also integrates a temperature compensation unit, a dynamic bias circuit, and a digital filtering module to further improve the system's stability and detection accuracy. The temperature compensation unit can monitor changes in ambient temperature in real time and compensate the signal accordingly, eliminating the impact of temperature drift on the detection results; the dynamic bias circuit automatically adjusts the bias voltage according to the signal strength to ensure that the signal is transmitted under optimal conditions; and the digital filtering module further filters the signal to remove high-frequency noise and interference signals.

[0049] Please see Figs. 1-3 In this embodiment of the invention, the system is deployed as an M×N array (M, N≥8), with a unit spacing of 1-5mm. The arrays are interconnected via a CAN bus, with a transmission delay of ≤1ms, and support real-time data fusion under the OSI model protocol stack.

[0050] The system is also equipped with a self-test module, which includes a blackbody radiation reference source and a fault diagnosis circuit, enabling real-time monitoring of the system's operating status and ensuring its reliability and stability.

[0051] The system is encapsulated in a hermetically sealed ceramic shell with a thermal expansion coefficient of 6.5-7.5 ppm / ℃, and is filled with argon gas with a purity ≥99.999%. The system's performance indicators include detectivity. Thermal response time constant τ≤20ms, equivalent noise power .

[0052] The working principle of this invention embodiment is as follows: In practical application scenarios, the system is deployed as an M×N array (M, N≥8), with a unit spacing of 1-5mm, interconnected via a CAN bus, and a transmission delay ≤1ms, supporting real-time data fusion under the OSI model protocol stack. When the system is installed at the end of a robotic arm, at a distance of 0.5-2m from the monitored target, the infrared radiation (temperature range 80-300℃) of the target area is transmitted through... After absorption by nanowires, it causes Temperature changes in the wafer (ΔT≈0.05-0.5℃) generate pyroelectric charges. These charges are rapidly transferred to the FPGA circuit through platinum electrodes and copper vias, with a transmission loss of ≤2%. During the data processing stage, the temperature compensation unit uses a Pt100 sensor to correct ambient temperature drift in real time (±0.1℃ accuracy), and the dynamic bias circuit applies a 50V bias voltage (0.8mV ripple) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio to 92dB.

[0053] The blackbody radiation reference source, as a high-precision radiation standard, can simulate infrared radiation signals of known intensity. By periodically activating the blackbody radiation reference source, stable infrared radiation is generated inside the system. This radiation is received by the infrared absorption film and converted into heat energy, which in turn triggers the lithium tantalate sensing module to produce a corresponding pyroelectric signal. This process is equivalent to an internal calibration of the system, effectively eliminating detection errors caused by environmental changes or system aging.

[0054] The system is equipped with a self-checking module that activates the blackbody reference source (emissivity 0.96, temperature 50℃±0.3℃) every 24 hours for calibration. The impedance spectrum analysis detects abnormal units (positioning error ≤80μm), ensuring the reliability and stability of the system. During the entire working process, the ultra-low thermal conductivity insulation layer effectively reduces heat loss through its unique reinforced skeleton and shielding layer design, ensuring the high-performance operation of the system in high-temperature difference environments.

[0055] The fault diagnosis circuit is responsible for real-time monitoring of the electrical performance of each key node in the system. It collects voltage and current signals in the signal transmission link and the operating parameters of the distributed modules to conduct a comprehensive health check on the system. Once an abnormal signal is detected, the fault diagnosis circuit can quickly locate the fault position and accurately determine the fault type through impedance spectrum analysis and other technical means. For example, when the impedance of a certain unit in the system changes abnormally, the fault diagnosis circuit can determine whether it is electrode fracture or interlayer debonding through impedance spectrum analysis, and feedback the fault information to the system control center for timely maintenance measures to prevent the fault from further expanding and affecting the normal operation of the system.

[0056] During system operation, the gas-tight ceramic tube shell and the internal argon gas work together to ensure the long-term stability of the system performance. For example, in harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity, the gas-tight ceramic tube shell effectively blocks the intrusion of external moisture and impurities, while the internal high-purity argon gas maintains the dryness and cleanliness of the system interior, ensuring that the lithium tantalate sensing module, infrared absorption film, and other key components are always in optimal working condition, thereby guaranteeing the stable output of the system's high-performance indicators such as detection rate , thermal response time constant τ ≤ 20ms, equivalent noise power .

[0057] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 In the embodiment of the present application, the application of the lithium tantalate infrared sensing network system in intelligent factory temperature monitoring is verified, including the following steps:

[0073] Step S2, application scenario and running process:

[0074] Scenario: Real-time temperature monitoring of high-temperature components (welding points, motor coils) in automobile battery production line, requiring detection accuracy ±1℃, response time ≤50 ms.

[0085] Leveraging the advantages of large-scale deployment, the 8x8 array, combined with adaptive algorithms, can achieve speeds per second. The simultaneous acquisition of data points increases the temperature imaging frame rate to 50 fps, while existing technologies generally have a frame rate of ≤15 fps. Furthermore, the combination of the aerogel-reinforced skeleton (with a compressive strength of 6.2 MPa) and the self-test module enables the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) to reach 50,000 hours, while the industry average is 30,000 hours.

[0086] Working principle: When external infrared radiation is incident, it is first absorbed by the infrared absorption film, which contains vanadium oxide. The nanostructure exhibits an absorption rate exceeding 95% in the 3-14μm wavelength range, efficiently converting infrared light energy into heat energy, thus influencing the temperature of the lithium tantalate sensing module it is attached to. The lithium tantalate wafer undergoes precise cutting and electric field polarization treatment, resulting in fully oriented internal domains that generate a significant pyroelectric effect, achieving the conversion of heat energy into electrical energy. The generated weak electrical signal is transmitted quickly and with low loss to the external readout circuit through conductive vias in the signal transmission link. The low resistivity and low parasitic capacitance characteristics of the conductive vias ensure the integrity and stability of the signal transmission.

[0087] During signal transmission, the distributed module plays a crucial role. Its built-in wavelet transform-Kalman filter hybrid algorithm achieves noise suppression of over 40dB in the 0.1-100Hz frequency domain, with a sampling rate and signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 3MHz and 90dB, respectively. Simultaneously, the integrated temperature compensation unit, dynamic bias circuit, and digital filtering module further enhance system stability and detection accuracy. The temperature compensation unit monitors and compensates for changes in ambient temperature in real time, the dynamic bias circuit automatically adjusts the bias voltage based on signal strength, and the digital filtering module further filters out high-frequency noise.

[0088] The system is also equipped with a self-test module, which includes a blackbody radiation reference source and a fault diagnosis circuit. The blackbody radiation reference source is periodically activated to provide a stable infrared radiation signal for the system, enabling internal calibration and eliminating detection errors caused by environmental changes or system aging. The fault diagnosis circuit monitors the electrical performance of each key node of the system in real time.
