[0030] Reference Figure 2 , the sensor probe module includes a first electrode plate 2, a second electrode plate 3 and a third electrode plate 4; the length of the first electrode plate 2 is greater than that of the second electrode plate 3 and the third electrode plate 4; When the object 1 to be detected passes between the first electrode plate 2 and the second electrode plate 3, the first electrode plate 2 and the second electrode plate 3 obtain a first capacitance signal according to the background noise and the pollutant signal, and the first electrode plate 2 and the third electrode plate 4 obtain a second capacitance signal according to the background noise; When the object 1 to be detected passes between the first plate 2 and the third plate 4, the first plate 2 and the third plate 4 obtain a first capacitance signal according to the background noise and the pollutant signal, and the first plate 2 and the second plate 3 obtain a second capacitance signal according to the background noise.

[0031] Further, the sensing circuit module includes a front-end circuit 5, a demodulator 7 and a voltage source 8 connected in sequence; The front-end circuit 5 is connected to the second plate 3 and the third plate 4 respectively through a transformer, and the voltage source 8 is connected to the first plate 2; The front-end circuit 5 is used for performing differential processing on the first capacitance signal to obtain a differential signal to suppress common-mode background noise; The demodulator 7 is used to demodulate the differential signal to obtain the target signal and transmit it to the computer 9 of the display module; The voltage source 8 is used to provide voltage to the first electrode plate 2 and provide the required voltage input for the entire circuit.

[0032] Optionally, the sensing circuit module further includes an AC amplifier circuit 6, which is connected to the output end of the front-end circuit 5; the AC amplifier circuit 6 is used to amplify the differential signal to enhance the signal strength.

[0033] Specifically, the various modules of the differential capacitance-based particle detection system of the present application are described in detail below: The sensor probe module includes a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate and a third electrode plate, wherein the length of the first electrode plate is greater than that of the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate are all placed vertically, and the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate are adjacent to each other but not in contact.

[0035] The first sensing unit is composed of a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate, and the second sensing unit is composed of a first electrode plate and a third electrode plate; when the object to be detected passes between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, the first sensing unit generates a first capacitance signal based on background noise and pollutant signals, while the second sensing unit does not detect pollutant signals, only background noise, and generates a second capacitance signal.

[0036] In this process, the appearance of the object to be detected will cause the change of the capacitance between the plates, and due to the possible presence of pollutants, the capacitance signal will contain the comprehensive information of the pollutant signal and background noise.

[0037] Accordingly, when the object to be detected passes between the first electrode plate and the third electrode plate, the second sensing unit generates a first capacitance signal according to the background noise and the pollutant signal, while the first sensing unit does not detect the pollutant signal but only the background noise, and generates a second capacitance signal. The second capacitance signal mainly reflects the capacitance change under the influence of the background noise alone, because the detection process does not involve the additional influence of the pollutant at this time.

[0038] The sensing circuit module is connected to the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit through a transformer and is the core processing part of the entire detection system.

[0039] The front-end circuit is connected to the second plate and the third plate respectively through a transformer, and the voltage source is connected to the first plate. The main function of the front-end circuit is to perform differential processing on the first capacitance signal and the second capacitance signal obtained from the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit.

[0040] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application utilizes the difference between the first capacitance signal and the second capacitance signal to eliminate the common mode background noise and obtain a differential signal. Because the first capacitance signal contains the pollutant signal and the background noise, and the second capacitance signal only contains the background noise, subtracting the two can highlight the pollutant signal and reduce the interference of the background noise.

[0041] The demodulator is connected to the front-end circuit, and its function is to demodulate the differential signal. Demodulation is the process of restoring the modulated signal to the original signal. The demodulator converts the differential signal into a target signal that can be directly recognized and processed by the display module.

[0042] The voltage source not only provides the required voltage for the first plate to ensure that an electric field is formed between the first plate and other plates so that capacitance detection can be realized, but also provides the necessary voltage input for the entire circuit to ensure the normal operation of the entire circuit.

[0043] Optionally, an AC amplifier circuit is connected to the output end of the front-end circuit to amplify the differential signal. In actual detection, since the differential signal obtained in some cases may be weak, the amplification function of the AC amplifier circuit can enhance the signal strength, making the subsequent processing and display clearer and more accurate. Finally, the target signal processed by the sensor circuit module is displayed in real time through a computer program.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application forms a sensing unit by combining different electrodes in the sensor probe module, utilizes the change in capacitance signal generated when the object to be detected passes by, and then undergoes differential processing, demodulation and possible signal amplification operations in the sensing circuit module, and finally displays the processed target signal in real time through the display module, thereby realizing the detection of pollutant particles and the signal differential noise reduction display function.

[0045] The sensor probe of the embodiment of the present application has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to integrate, and has great prospects for promotion and application; differential capacitive sensing can suppress common-mode noise, greatly reduce the background noise level, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor; real-time display of the sensor signal is achieved through a computer program, thereby realizing real-time detection of pollutant particles.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 The present application provides a particle detection method based on differential capacitance, comprising: S301. When the object to be detected passes through the first sensing unit, the first sensing unit outputs a first capacitance signal, and the second sensing unit outputs a second capacitance signal; when the object to be detected passes through the second sensing unit, the second sensing unit outputs a first capacitance signal, and the first sensing unit outputs a second capacitance signal; the first capacitance signal is obtained based on background noise and a pollutant signal, and the second capacitance signal is obtained based on background noise; S302. Perform differential processing on the first capacitance signal and the second capacitance signal to obtain a target signal to suppress common mode background noise; S303. Display the target signal in real time through a computer program to detect pollutant particles and display the signal differential noise reduction.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the object to be detected flows through the sensor probe module in S301, the system starts to work. The sensor probe module includes a first sensing unit and a second sensing unit.

[0048] When the object to be detected passes by, it will interact with the surrounding environment. At the same time, due to the possible presence of pollutants, the electromagnetic environment in which the unit is located will change. The first sensing unit generates a first capacitance signal based on the background noise (the electromagnetic characteristics of the environment itself) and the pollutant signal (the impact of the pollutant on the electromagnetic environment). The first capacitance signal contains information about the interaction of the object to be detected, the pollutant, and the environment. The second sensing unit generates a second capacitance signal based on the background noise. (At this time, the object to be detected has not flowed through the second sensing unit, so there is no pollutant signal).

[0049] Similarly, when the object to be detected flows through the second sensing unit, this unit generates a first capacitance signal based on the pollutant signal and background noise. At this time, the first sensing unit only detects the background noise and generates a second capacitance signal based on the background noise. The second capacitance signal here mainly reflects the signal generated only by the environment (background) without the influence of pollutants, providing a reference benchmark for subsequent processing and helping to distinguish the signal changes actually caused by pollutants.

[0050] In step S302 , the first capacitance signal and the second capacitance signal are differentially processed.

[0051] Differential processing is a key step in this solution, and its purpose is to suppress common-mode background noise. Because the first capacitance signal contains comprehensive information about pollutants and background, while the second capacitance signal is mainly background noise, when the two are differentially operated, the background noise will offset each other to a certain extent, highlighting the impact of pollutants on the signal, thereby obtaining a target signal that better reflects the characteristics of pollutants. Through this processing method, the interference of background noise can be effectively reduced, making the subsequent detection of pollutants more accurate and reliable.

[0052] Finally, in step S303, the processed target signal is displayed in real time through a computer program, so that the user can find abnormal conditions in time during the detection process.

[0053] Optionally, performing differential processing on the first capacitance signal and the second capacitance signal to obtain a target signal includes: Determine the generation frequency of the voltage source and the modulation voltage of the demodulator; Determining a first capacitance and a first dielectric constant of a first sensing unit, and determining a second capacitance and a second dielectric constant of a second sensing unit; Determine a first current corresponding to the first capacitance signal according to the generation frequency, the modulation voltage of the demodulator, the first capacitance and the first dielectric constant, and determine a second current corresponding to the second capacitance signal according to the generation frequency, the modulation voltage of the demodulator, the second capacitance and the second dielectric constant; The target signal is obtained by performing differential processing on the first current and the second current.

[0054] Optionally, the method for determining the first capacitance and the second capacitance includes: determining an initial capacitance of the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit; Determining a first variation factor caused by the background noise and a second variation factor caused by a pollutant signal; The first capacitance is obtained according to the initial capacitance, the first variation factor, and the second variation factor, and the second capacitance is obtained according to the initial capacitance and the second variation factor.

[0055] Optionally, the method for determining the first current and the second current includes: Determine a first facing area of ​​the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, a first electrode plate distance, and a first dielectric change rate of the first dielectric constant; determine a second facing area of ​​the first electrode plate and the third electrode plate, a second electrode plate distance, and a second dielectric change rate of the second dielectric constant; According to the first facing area, the first plate spacing, the first dielectric change rate and the electrostatic force constant, a first capacitance change rate of the first sensing unit is obtained; according to the second facing area, the second plate spacing, the second dielectric change rate and the electrostatic force constant, a second capacitance change rate of the second sensing unit is obtained; The first current is determined according to the modulation voltage, the generation frequency and the first capacitance change rate; the second current is determined according to the modulation voltage, the generation frequency and the second capacitance change rate.

[0056] Specifically, the current in the circuit When there is no disturbance, it can be expressed as: , (1) The voltage source generates a frequency of The modulation voltage is , , then the capacitance is The charge change at any time can be expressed as: (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we can obtain: .(3) When the contaminant to be detected enters between the plates, the dielectric constant between the plates will change, according to the capacitance between the plates (in It represents the area between the plates. Indicates the distance between the plates, represents the electrostatic force constant), (Capacitance change rate) can be expressed as: , (4) Combining (3) and (4): , (5) in, is the change in capacitance caused by the pollutant, that is, the dielectric change rate mentioned above. According to (5), it is not difficult to see that the traditional capacitive sensor relies on the difference in average dielectric constant caused by different materials between the plates, which causes the plate capacitance fluctuation to generate a current signal, and then detects oil pollution.

[0057] The differential capacitive sensor requires the establishment of two capacitive sensing probes of the same size and adjacent to each other. The object to be detected passes through the two units in turn. Similar to the above derivation process, assume that the first capacitance of the first sensing unit is , the corresponding first dielectric constant is , the first current in the circuit is ; Assume that the second capacitance of the second sensing unit is , the corresponding second dielectric constant is , the second current in the circuit is ,but and It can be expressed as: ,(6) .(7) use represents the capacitance change due to background noise, i.e. the first change factor, represents the capacitance change caused by contamination in the object to be detected, i.e. the second change factor, is the initial capacitance. When the pollutant just flows through the first sensor unit, the capacitances of the two sensor units can be expressed as: ,(8) .(9) Substituting (8) into (6) and (9) into (7), we can obtain the sensor current response: ,(10) .(11) The differential processing of the current signal can be obtained: .(12) From (12), it can be seen that the common mode background noise in the differential capacitive sensor is is suppressed, and at the same time For example, pollutant particles will only appear in one of the two sensing units, so only one capacitor's dielectric constant changes, while the other does not. The capacitance fluctuation signal will be collected by the circuit, processed and finally displayed on the computer. In general, differential capacitance sensing can effectively suppress common-mode background noise and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor.

[0058] It should be understood that the various numerical numbers involved in the embodiments of the present application are only used for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
