Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] As shown in the following table, Figure 1 The present application provides a device for measuring resistance of tin oxide slurry, comprising:

[0025] The host computer, UART, power supply, main control chip, reference voltage chip, digital-to-analog converter, analog switch, AHT10 and reference resistance are connected as follows:

[0026] The host computer is connected with the main control chip through UART, the main control chip is connected with the power supply, analog switch, AHT10 and the digital-to-analog converter respectively, the digital-to-analog converter is connected with the power supply, reference resistance, reference voltage chip and the analog switch respectively, and the analog switch is grounded and connected with the reference resistance;

[0027] The digital-to-analog converter is used to collect the voltage data of the conductive slurry to be tested, the host computer is used to store the resistance and environmental temperature and humidity data, the analog switch is used to flip the electric field direction between the electrodes, and the electric field direction flipping is used to suppress the enrichment of slurry ions around the electrodes and to suppress the electrolytic reaction of the slurry under the fixed electric field, the reference voltage chip is used to provide high-precision voltage for the reference resistor and the digital-to-analog converter, the reference resistor is used to calculate the corresponding reference resistance of the conductive slurry to be tested, and the host chip is used to calculate the resistance of the conductive slurry to be tested according to the corresponding reference resistance and the voltage data according to the formula Rb=RaRcVx / (VccRc-Vx(Ra+Rc)) (where Rb is the resistance value of the slurry, Ra is the reference resistance value, Rc is the input resistance of the ADC, Vcc is the reference voltage value, and Vx is the voltage value measured by the ADC).

[0028] Specifically, it includes an electrode protection layer (conducting carbon glue is applied to the surface of the electrode and dried at 120 DEG C for 30 minutes to form an electrode protection layer), an electrode inter-electric field flip driving circuit (the periodic connection of the electrodes to the ground and the reference resistance is realized by the main control chip controlling the analog switch), host computer software, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for collecting voltage values, and a main control chip for calculating the tin oxide slurry resistance. By inserting the electrodes of the instrument into the tin oxide slurry, the resistance of the slurry is measured to obtain the state of the slurry (the degree of dryness of the slurry) to realize the state control of the slurry.

[0029] Further, the main control chip is connected to the analog-to-digital converter through the SPI protocol.

[0030] Further, the main control chip controls the state switching of the analog switch through the GPIO pin.

[0031] Further, the host computer is connected to the main control chip through the Type-C interface.

[0032] Specifically, the product uses Type-C to realize connection with the upper computer and power supply for the instrument through Type-C. The upper computer has a software based on python which can display the collection results of the instrument in real time, including the resistance of tin oxide paste, environmental temperature and humidity, and paste state. In the hardware design of the instrument, the power supply is used to power the master control chip, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), analog switch, reference voltage chip, AHT10 and other elements. The master control chip communicates with the ADC using the SPI protocol. The master control chip controls the state of the analog switch through the GPIO to realize the control of the two ends of the electrode alternately connected to one end of the reference resistance and the ground (GND), thereby realizing the periodic flipping of the electric field at the two ends of the electrode. The two ends of the electrode are connected to two input ends of the ADC. The reference voltage chip provides reference voltage for the ADC and supplies power for the reference resistance. The AHT10 collects environmental temperature and humidity. The product obtains the state stage of the tin oxide paste by collecting the resistance of the tin oxide paste and the environmental temperature and humidity.

[0033] Further, the model of the master control chip is STM32F103C8T6.

[0034] Further, the model of the digital-to-analog converter is ADS124S08.

[0035] Further, the model of the analog switch is SGM3005.

[0036] Specifically, the content displayed by the upper computer software is the resistance of the tin oxide paste collected by the instrument and the environmental temperature and humidity, as well as the paste state of the tin oxide, such as the paste state stage.

[0037] The test steps of the product are as follows:

[0038] Step 1: Connect the instrument with the upper computer using Type-C;

[0039] Step 2: Insert the electrode of the instrument into the paste;

[0040] Step 3: Open the upper computer software to store the collected data.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , it is the test diagram of the product, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 , it is the first test result diagram and the second test result diagram of the product. The first test result is to add 550-1050 uL of deionized water (step interval is 100 uL) to the tin oxide paste ground for 30-90 minutes (step interval is 20 minutes), Figure 3 (a) is the test result of different deionized water content under grinding for 30 minutes; Figure 3 (b) is the test result of different deionized water content under grinding for 50 minutes; Figure 3(c) Test results for different deionized water contents for 70 minutes of milling; Figure 3 (d) Test results for different deionized water contents for 90 minutes of milling, and from the test results, the resistance of the slurry first decreases (settling stage, at which the slurry gradually settles, and the resistance decreases as the tin oxide particles gather), then remains substantially stable (stable stage, at which the tin oxide slurry is substantially settled, and the tin oxide particles are substantially coagulated into blocks), then gradually increases (gradual drying stage, at which the tin oxide surface is exposed, i.e., part of the tin oxide powder is no longer wet), and finally, the resistance value substantially exceeds 1 MΩ (drying stage). The second test result graph shows that, during the settling stage to the gradual drying stage, the resistance of the slurry is related to the ambient temperature and humidity, and during the drying stage, the resistance of the slurry is strongly related to the ambient temperature.

[0042] The embodiments in the present specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other.

Meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, the specific implementation manners and application ranges can be changed according to the idea of the present application.
