Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of refrigeration spectrometers, and in particular relates to a compact non-vacuum thermoelectric refrigeration device for a CCD of a spectrometer. Background Art

[0002] With the development of my country's optoelectronic detection instrument industry, the performance of various spectrometers is becoming increasingly important. With the development of high-precision CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) detectors, cooling the CCD array detector is an effective means to reduce dark noise, while increasing the dynamic range of the detector and improving the detection limit.

[0003] According to actual observations, if the sensor in the spectrometer is a linear array CCD module, when the integration time exceeds 1 second, the CCD will be submerged in its own dark current, and when the CCD junction temperature drops by about 25°C, the dark current is reduced by almost an order of magnitude. When the CCD array detector is cooled by TEC from room temperature of 25°C to 10-14°C, the dark current is reduced by 4 times and the dark noise is reduced by 2 times. This proves that the use of TEC cooling (Thermo-Electric Cooler) allows the detector to perform long integration time and weak light detection.

[0004] This puts higher requirements on the miniaturization of lower-temperature refrigeration. As the social demand for high-precision spectrometers grows, the conventional Dewar refrigeration method cannot meet the needs of large-scale production and promotion. Moreover, adding a large liquid cooling circulation system during operation brings inconvenience to users and limits the application environment and scope of use.

[0005] When using low-temperature cavity CCD modules, their low-temperature characteristics will condense moisture in the air in the CCD detector cavity and form frost, condensation and fog on the inner and outer surfaces of the window glass plate. This phenomenon greatly changes the surface emissivity of the cavity glass and produces dielectric absorption, causing the effective emissivity of the cavity bottom to be significantly reduced, becoming a major source of uncertainty, obstructing the observation of various types of refrigerated spectrometers, thereby affecting their measurement accuracy.

[0006] At present, there are three general methods for the application of semiconductor thermoelectric cooling of CCD detectors: 1. The Dewar vacuum chamber is adopted. Its vacuum and multi-layer shell structure reduce the internal air convection heat conduction, and the multi-stage TEC refrigeration can reduce the temperature by 50-70℃. However, this requires a high vacuum Dewar sealed chamber and an exhaust structure to achieve this, and also requires a large-size flange and sealing surface structure. The cavity structure is large in size, and the window size is also large. The large window can eliminate the condensation in the center of the lens as much as possible, and the pressure difference will cause the risk of missing individual sealing points, and the reliability of long-term sealing cannot be guaranteed. This makes it impossible to use it on general small-sized spectrometer equipment, and it is mostly used on astronomical observation, high-speed camera, and large high-definition camera equipment.

[0007] 2. Use a nitrogen-filled pressure-resistant cavity, which is generally equipped with a gas purge system to purge and heat the window glass surface. Make it close to room temperature, and the temperature difference will be smaller, which will greatly reduce the condensation phenomenon. However, this requires a larger window size and an air filling device. Some also need to use canned nitrogen or an air compressor to provide dry gas, and the air curtain structure is complex. Although nitrogen is more stable, its molecular distance is large, and its thermal conductivity is better than that of dry air, and its thermal conductivity efficiency is inversely higher than that of air.

[0008] 3. Directly use array CCD with integrated cooling function (such as Hamamatsu s7031-1006S). This type of CCD itself has an integrated TEC unit at the bottom. It only needs to be equipped with a heat sink or a forced cooling heat pump for use. However, its price is very high, which greatly limits the promotion and application scope of high-precision spectrometers.

[0009] Therefore, a miniaturized, simple, reliable, low-cost device or method capable of performing general cooling on the CCD detector is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention makes the sealed cavity very small, and adopts a single-stage small-size TEC thermoelectric cooling unit, the hot surface is connected to the rear heat sink fins, and the cold surface is fitted with the bottom surface of the ordinary CCD; the acquisition signal is transmitted to the external circuit board by a long pin row and a syringe combination, and the pin row is reliably sealed with a potting sealant. In this way, the required cavity space is often less than 60mm, and the small amount of gas in the internal annular space is dried by a preset desiccant. The required desiccant is very small, and the dry air will not frost or condense on the inner surface of the window glass plate under any air pressure. In order to prevent the outer surface of the window glass plate from contacting the ambient gas containing moisture and condensing into frost and dew, the present invention adds a heat conductive cover outside the glass plate to transfer the heat of the TEC hot end on the rear radiator to the outside of the glass plate. In addition, it is ensured that the CCD is at a certain distance from the glass plate to create a larger thermal resistance. When the difference between the internal air temperature and the ambient air temperature is within 9 to 10°C, condensation can be completely eliminated, thereby completely eliminating frost and condensation. The present invention is simple and reliable, and the size is completely suitable for installation in general small spectrometers.

[0011] The present invention provides the following technical solution: A compact non-vacuum thermoelectric refrigeration device for a spectrometer CCD, comprising: a window heat-conducting cover, a window glass plate, a CCD pressure plate, a cavity shell, a heat-insulating layer, a CCD detector, a TEC thermoelectric refrigeration sheet, and an air-cooled fin seat, which are arranged in sequence along the incident direction of the spectrum, wherein the window heat-conducting cover and the air-cooled fin seat are respectively made of heat-conducting materials, and the CCD pressure plate, the cavity shell, and the heat-insulating layer are respectively made of heat-insulating materials; The cavity shell is in the shape of a cylinder with openings at the front and rear, the rear cylinder opening of the cavity shell is sealed and connected to the air-cooling fin seat, the front cylinder opening of the cavity shell is detachably connected to the window heat-conducting cover, and the window heat-conducting cover is heat-conductingly connected to the air-cooling fin seat; The window glass plate is arranged in the tube of the cavity shell, the window glass plate blocks the spectral incident channel, and the window glass plate seals and isolates the side of the cavity shell tube facing the rear tube opening into an independent closed cavity; the CCD pressing plate is pressed against the side of the window glass plate located in the closed cavity, and the side of the CCD pressing plate away from the window glass plate is pressed against the detection surface of the CCD detector; the cooling surface of the TEC thermoelectric cooling sheet is attached to the CCD detector, and the heat dissipation surface of the TEC thermoelectric cooling sheet is thermally connected to the air-cooled fin seat; the inner wall of the heat insulation layer is wrapped outside the closed cavity, and the outer wall of the heat insulation layer is attached to the inner cavity wall of the cavity shell; A desiccant module is provided in the enclosed cavity, and the desiccant module can eliminate a small amount of water vapor in the enclosed space where the CCD detector cavity is located. Since the enclosed space is small, the dryness of the enclosed space is ensured, and the formation of frost, condensation and fog on the inner surface of the window glass plate can be effectively prevented; A CCD plug-in board is arranged in the closed cavity, and a plug-in syringe is arranged on the CCD plug-in board; the pins of the CCD detector are electrically connected to the plug-in syringe, and the CCD plug-in board is electrically connected to the adapter circuit board through a pin row.

[0012] Preferably, the desiccant module comprises: a left desiccant module and a right desiccant module, and the left desiccant module and the right desiccant module are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the enclosed cavity.

[0013] Preferably, the CCD plug-in board and the adapter circuit board are both C-shaped circuit boards with an opening on one side, and the C-shaped openings of the CCD plug-in board and the adapter circuit board are located on the same side.

[0014] Preferably, a sealing gasket made of a heat insulating material is provided between the cavity shell and the air-cooling fin seat.

[0015] More preferably, the sealing gasket is annular, and grooves are respectively provided on the inner bottom surface of the air-cooled fin seat and the inner tube end surface of the cavity shell, and the sealing gasket matches the grooves; the inner bottom surface of the air-cooled fin seat and the inner tube end surface of the cavity shell clamp the sealing gasket inside.

[0016] Preferably, the joint between the window glass plate and the inner wall of the cavity shell is filled with sealant.

[0017] Preferably, the window thermal cover is detachably connected to the air-cooled fin seat by bolts, and the bolts pass through the through holes on the cavity shell, and the window thermal cover and the air-cooled fin seat clamp the cavity shell in place from both sides; by tightening the window thermal cover and the air-cooled fin seat with bolts, it is ensured that the heat on the air-cooled fin seat can be promptly transferred to the window thermal cover so as to promptly eliminate condensation and frost on the outside of the window glass plate, while ensuring the connection stability of the window thermal cover to the air-cooled fin seat, thereby ensuring the sealing of the enclosed space where the CCD detector cavity is located.

[0018] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins of the air-cooled fin seat are surrounded by the air-cooled fin seat shell, and the heat dissipation channel direction of the heat dissipation fins is parallel to the spectral incident direction; the heat dissipation fins are parallel to the fan airflow direction, which facilitates heat dissipation while allowing the heat on the air-cooled fin seat to be promptly conducted to the window heat conductive cover.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention sets the enclosed space where the CCD detector cavity is located to be smaller, and adopts a small-sized TEC thermoelectric cooling unit in the small space to cool the enclosed space and transfer the heat to the external air-cooled fin seat, thereby ensuring a low-temperature environment in the enclosed space. Therefore, the present invention can improve the measurement accuracy of the refrigeration type spectrometer.

[0020] 2. The present invention connects the window heat conductive cover to the air-cooled fin seat by thermal conductivity, so that the heat of the air-cooled fin seat is transferred to the outside of the window glass plate, so that no condensation occurs on the outside of the window glass plate, thereby completely eliminating frost and condensation. Therefore, the present invention can improve the measurement accuracy of the refrigerated spectrometer.

[0021] 3. The present invention sets a desiccant in the enclosed space. Since the enclosed space is small, very little desiccant is required, so no frost or condensation will occur on the inner side of the window glass plate. Therefore, the present invention can improve the measurement accuracy of the refrigerated spectrometer.

[0022] 4. The signal transmission inside and outside the module of the present invention is to connect the pin holder or syringe on the CCD adapter board with the signal acquisition board outside the refrigeration module in a closed space, and inject sealant into the sealing groove between the pin hole through the wall and the pin. This sealing method eliminates the sealing joint and the wiring, saves the electrical connection space to the greatest extent, and is simple and easy to use and suitable for mass production.

For the description of each part and component, see Table 1.

[0029] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the unique and different features of the refrigeration device 1 are mainly: Anti-window condensation method: internally, a drying sheet 103 (calcium chloride) and a left desiccant module 110 and a right desiccant module 111 (water-absorbing silica gel powder bag) are used to fully absorb water in a small space to the greatest extent; externally, a cover is made of a ceramic material or a copper-aluminum material with high thermal conductivity, and a window is opened to transfer heat from the air-cooling fin seat 115 to the outer surface of the window glass plate 104, which is heated to offset to a certain extent the heat absorbed by the CCD from the internal cooling. At the same time, the cavity shell 105 is made of engineering plastics with low thermal conductivity so that the internal cooling force is not affected by the outside, thereby balancing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window glass plate 104.

[0030] Sealing method of small modules: For the sealing between the window glass plate 104 and the cavity shell 105, an annular groove is opened on the sealing surface of the cavity shell 105, and a sealant (including but not limited to epoxy glue, single-component or multi-component silicone) is poured into it.

For the sealing of the wire header pin 112 at the bottom of the air-cooled fin seat 115, a shallow groove hole is opened at the bottom of the air-cooled fin seat 115, and the corresponding pin hole is drilled at the bottom of the groove. After the pin is installed, it is sealed with a pouring sealant (including but not limited to epoxy glue, single-component or multi-component silicone). These sealing methods are all sealed, occupy a very small size and are reliable for a long time.
