Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of gas pressure detection and relates to a gas concentration detection sensor based on dual-wavelength differential absorption and an error compensation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the most important greenhouse gas, the concentration change of carbon dioxide (CO2) directly affects the global temperature rise trend. Therefore, how to accurately and stably measure the CO2 concentration in various complex environments is an important research direction of current gas detection technology.

[0003] The differential absorption laser radar (DIAL) technology has been widely used for remote sensing of gas concentration in the atmosphere due to its non-contact, high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. Among them, the dual-wavelength differential absorption method usually selects an absorption wavelength and a non-absorption wavelength, and realizes the inversion calculation of gas concentration through the difference of the return signal by virtue of the difference in gas absorption characteristics. It is the most critical core mechanism in current CO2 concentration detection.

[0004] However, in actual application, especially in areas with variable environmental conditions such as mines, atmospheric boundary layers and complex urban scenes, temperature, humidity and aerosol disturbance have a significant impact on the laser propagation path and signal attenuation, thereby introducing errors in gas concentration measurement. In addition, the stability of optical and electronic elements is reduced due to temperature drift during long-term continuous operation of the system, which further affects the accuracy of the concentration inversion result.

[0005] Existing technologies such as CN105510260A and CN114660573A optimize gas concentration monitoring from aspects such as path integral inversion model and dual-pulse frequency stabilization control, but still cannot effectively cope with dynamic interference and system temperature drift error in complex environments.

[0186] 2. Dual-wavelength alternate emission and beam processing:

[0187] The concentration parameter timing control circuit issues control instructions, and the 1064 nm and 1572 nm lasers emit laser pulses alternately through a beam combiner at 500 ms intervals.

[0188] The 1572 nm laser emits at a fixed off-wavelength outside the CO2 absorption band.

[0189] The combined beam passes through the first optical system in turn: beam expander (expansion ratio 5 times) → axicon (converted to ring-shaped beam spot light) → lens (focusing to form a spot of about 50 μm).

[0190] The focused beam enters the second optical system: Cassegrain telescope (primary and secondary mirror structure) to convert it into parallel light, and the aperture stop limits the effective detection distance to 100 meters.

[0191] 3. Real-time monitoring of environmental parameters and generation of concentration error correction signals:

[0192] The temperature sensor collects the current temperature t (e.g. 30°C), and the humidity sensor collects the current humidity h (e.g. 60% RH).

[0193] The concentration error correction module calculates the correction amount:

[0194] ΔC = (0.035 × t + 0.02 × h + 0.0015 × t × h) × 100% = 4.35%

[0195] 4. Dynamic adjustment of laser parameters:

[0196] ΔC > 0, the concentration parameter timing control circuit issues control instructions within a 20 ms cycle:

[0197] Increase the average power of the 1064 nm laser

[0198] Reduce the average power of the 1572 nm laser

[0199] 5. Signal acquisition, inversion, and concentration calculation:

[0200] The signal acquisition board of the data processing module acquires the echo signal after atmospheric action, introduces a dynamic turbulence index k (range 1.2-1.8) during inversion, and performs wavelength-dependent correction.

[0201] The inversion calculation obtains the initial CO2 concentration value C, and combines the correction term to output the final concentration:

[0202] C final = C + ΔC

[0203] 6. Data storage:

[0204] Final concentration value C final , current temperature and humidity t, h, laser power control amount, etc. are written into the storage unit.

[0205] Example five

[0206] 1. Optical component processing:

[0207] All optical surfaces of the beam expander, axicon and lens of the first optical system are coated with antireflection film layers optimized for the 770 nm wavelength band.

[0208] The size (diameter 50 mm) and position (100 mm apart from the primary mirror) of the secondary mirror of the Cassegrain telescope are optimized to ensure that it does not block the path of the emitted light beam from the first optical system.

[0209] 2. Detection process:

[0210] The 1064 nm and 1572 nm laser alternately emit pulsed light beams, which are expanded by the surface-coated beam expander and then converted into a ring-shaped beam by the axicon.

[0211] The ring-shaped beam is focused by the lens and then enters the second optical system, which receives and collimates it into parallel light by the primary mirror and secondary mirror system. Subsequently, the entrance angle and detection depth are limited by the diaphragm.

[0212] The return signal carries gas absorption information and enters the signal acquisition module for processing.

[0213] 3. Subsequent processing flow:

[0214] Real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity, calculation of concentration error ΔC;

[0215] Adjusting the laser power in response to the concentration error;

[0216] Concentration inversion using differential absorption algorithm;

[0217] Output final concentration C final = C + ΔC;

[0218] All parameters are written into the storage unit (steps 3-6 in example four).

[0219] Example six

[0220] 1. System operation and control:

[0221] The system operates normally according to the process of example five.

[0222] The temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature has risen to 35°C, and the humidity sensor detects that the relative humidity is 70% RH.

[0223] The concentration error correction module calculates:

[0224] AC = (0.035 x 35 + 0.02 x 70 + 0.0015 x 35 x 70) x 100% = 6.48%

[0225] 2. Closed-loop power regulation:

[0226] The concentration parameter timing control circuit determines that AC > 0, and immediately issues a closed-loop regulation command within a 20ms cycle:

[0227] Increase the power of the 1064nm laser;

[0228] Proportionally reduce the power of the 1572nm laser;

[0229] The adjustment value is output by the PI controller.

[0230] 3. Application of specific inversion algorithm:

[0231] The signal acquisition board receives the adjusted large air echo signal.

[0232] The microcontroller executes the Fernald differential absorption inversion algorithm, and uses the difference between the two wavelengths to invert the aerosol extinction coefficient and backscatter coefficient on the path, and further calculates the CO2 concentration.

[0233] Combined with the absorption cross section of CO2 at 1572nm wavelength and the corrected laser energy ratio, the average concentration value C is obtained.

[0234] 4. Concentration result synthesis and recording:

[0235] The preliminary concentration C is added to the correction term AC to obtain the final concentration value:

[0236] C final = C + AC

[0237] The final concentration value, current temperature and humidity, laser power and other operating data are recorded in the storage unit.

[0238] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting.
