At present, the measurement of alcohol concentration mainly relies on traditional technologies such as specific gravity method, density method and infrared spectroscopy. However, these methods have certain limitations and shortcomings in practical applications.

[0003] The specific gravity method mainly calculates the specific gravity or concentration of alcohol by measuring the relationship between the density and volume of the alcohol solution. However, this method is greatly affected by environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity), resulting in inaccurate measurement results. In addition, the specific gravity method is cumbersome when processing optical signals, which is not conducive to large-scale production applications, so its application market is relatively narrow.

This method requires the use of a density meter and a thermometer, and requires the density and temperature-related parameters of the alcohol. The operation process is complicated and requires precise instruments and equipment, which increases the uncertainty of the measurement.

[0005] Infrared spectroscopy measures alcohol concentration by analyzing alcohol liquids with an infrared spectrometer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] See also Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a non-contact alcohol concentration measuring instrument, which includes: a detection light emitting mechanism 100; an alcohol container 200, in which the alcohol to be detected is contained, and the working end of the detection light emitting mechanism 100 is arranged toward the alcohol container 200; a feedback mechanism 300, in which the feedback mechanism 300 and the detection light emitting mechanism 100 are respectively arranged on both sides of the alcohol container 200, and the feedback mechanism 300 includes an electrically coupled detector 310 (CCD) and a control component 320, and the detection light is transmitted from the detection light emitting mechanism 100 through the alcohol container 200 to the electrically coupled detector 310, and the electrically coupled detector 310 is connected to the control component 320.

[0027] The non-contact alcohol concentration measuring instrument described in this embodiment is provided with a detection light emitting mechanism 100 and a feedback mechanism 300 on both sides of the alcohol container 200, thereby detecting the reflectivity of light of alcohol of different concentrations through the feedback mechanism 300 to realize non-contact calculation detection of alcohol concentration, which can perform accurate measurement without contacting the alcohol sample. On the one hand, it greatly reduces the risk of contaminating the sample, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the errors and uncertainties that may exist in traditional measurement methods, thereby improving the measurement precision and accuracy. Compared with the conventional detection technology at this stage, the present application creatively adopts a photoelectric combination method to detect alcohol concentration, which has the significant advantages of simple measurement, stable results, high detection accuracy and wide application range, and is a new type of non-contact alcohol concentration measuring instrument with broad application prospects.

[0028] by Figure 1 The non-contact alcohol concentration measuring instrument shown is a reference. In this embodiment, the detection light emitting mechanism 100, the alcohol container 200 and the feedback mechanism 300 are arranged in sequence from left to right in the same horizontal plane, wherein the detection light emitting mechanism 100 is used to provide detection light, the alcohol container 200 is used to hold the alcohol to be detected, and at the same time refracts the light emitted by the detection light emitting mechanism 100, and the feedback mechanism 300 is used to receive the refracted light and analyze and calculate it, thereby realizing non-contact alcohol concentration detection.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection light emitting mechanism 100 includes a light source 110 and a lens 130, and the light source 110 and the alcohol container 200 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the lens 130. Among them, the light source 110 is preferably a 5mW red dot semiconductor laser head, which can emit a monochromatic parallel laser with a wavelength of 650nm, and it also has the advantages of low power and low cost. The lens 130 is used to converge parallel lasers. Furthermore, considering the focal length parameter problem, the spacing distance between the alcohol container 200 and the lens 130 is greater than the focal length of the lens 130. Thereby, the incident light can be diverged after the convergence effect of the lens 130, so that the alcohol container 200 can receive and refract the divergent light, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of its detection.

[0030] The detection light emitting mechanism 100 in this embodiment further includes an aperture 120, which is disposed between the light source 110 and the lens 130. Specifically, after emitting parallel light, the laser first passes through the aperture 120, which adjusts the light beam into a circular light beam, and then passes through the convex lens 130, thereby improving the quality and intensity of the incident light.

[0031] In this embodiment, the alcohol container 200 is preferably a transparent cuvette made of quartz, thereby minimizing the interference of the alcohol container 200 on the angle and intensity of the incident light. In other embodiments, the alcohol container 200 can also be set as other transparent material elements with low refractive index, and the utility model does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0032] In this embodiment, the electric couple and detector are preferably TCD1304 linear array CCD, whose pixel size is 8um×200um and wavelength response range is 300nm~1100nm. This CCD can transmit the collected data to the control component 320, and the control component 320 performs corresponding processing on the data returned by the CCD.

[0033] In this embodiment, the control component 320 is preferably a single chip microcomputer. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the control component 320 includes a filter output module 321, a constant current light source module 322, an adjustment module 323, a processing module 324 and a display module 325 connected in sequence, wherein the electric coupling detector 310 is connected to the filter output module 321. Among them, the filter output module 321 is a GD32F 103RET6 DA first-order filter output device, which can achieve smooth output waveform, reduce conversion error, improve frequency response and suppress interference in the process of digital to analog conversion; the constant current light source module 322 is a digitally controlled constant current laser source 110 emitting laser, which can stabilize current, protect laser, optimize laser performance, compensate for temperature and humidity and control laser output; the adjustment module 323 is a case adjusting laser intensity device, which is used to improve laser adaptability; the processing module 324 can obtain and process the corresponding electric couple and detector data from the single chip microcomputer, and transmit the processed data information back to the display module 325, and the display module 325 is used to feedback and display the detection results.

[0034] In actual use, only by maintaining the stability of the light source 110 can the reliability and stability of the measurement result be guaranteed. Therefore, the device also includes a flow stabilization structure to ensure the basis for accurate alcohol concentration measurement, see Figure 3 As shown, the steady current structure is connected to the filter output module 321. Specifically, the steady current structure includes an input pin PA5, an operational amplifier 326 and a ground terminal connected in sequence, wherein the filter output module 321 is connected to the input pin PA5. Further, the information data is transmitted to the operational amplifier 326 through the PA5 pin. From the virtual short characteristic of the operational amplifier, it can be seen that the voltage of the operational amplifier 326 is equal to that of the ground terminal resistor R4, so the current flowing through the above structure is constant. According to Kirchhoff's current law (KCL), it can be seen that the current flowing through the control component 320 is constant, which can make the measurement result more stable.

[0035] See the schematic diagram of the working principle of the non-contact alcohol concentration measuring instrument in this embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, 1 and 1' are the beam paths of the laser when it passes through the air, and 2 and 2' are the beam paths of the laser when it passes through the alcohol to be detected. The refractive index of the alcohol container is n1, the thickness is d, and the inner width is L1. The HI plane is the detection plane of the electrically coupled detector. From the geometric relationship, it can be seen that the line segment EG∥CF, GH∥FI, so the line segment ED=GF=HI can be obtained.

[0036] Furthermore, assuming that the refractive index of the alcohol to be tested is n, according to the law of refraction:

[0037]

[0038] It can be further known that the refractive index n of the alcohol to be tested is: Therefore, we only need to find sinα and sinγ to calculate the refractive index of alcohol. (where α is the incident angle of air, β is the incident angle of the rectangular quartz cuvette, and γ is the refraction angle of the alcohol to be measured.)

[0039] Since 1 and 1' are the beam paths of the laser when it passes through the air, ∠EBC=∠α in ΔBCE and ΔHMN. Let MN=m, HN=n, then: The values ​​of m and n are the values ​​that can be measured when the laser passes through the air. They are constants that have nothing to do with the alcohol concentration to be measured, so it is sufficient to only measure the value of sinγ.

[0040]

[0041] In ΔHMN we have:

[0042] And because:

[0043] so

[0044] The refractive index of the alcohol to be tested is:

[0045]

[0046] make After further simplification, we can get:

[0047] By converting the refractive index into the length of four line segments, for different concentrations of alcohol, and L1 are constant, so we only need to measure the change in beam diameter L2 before and after adding alcohol to the container to find out the refractive index n of alcohol.

[0048] Furthermore, the present application measures the refractive index of alcohol and then calculates the concentration of alcohol based on the relationship between the refractive index and concentration of alcohol. Data processing is extremely important in the actual operation process.

[0049] Therefore, the data processing in this application adopts the improved least squares method. The basic principle of least squares regression is to perform stepwise regression, and the algorithm can gradually check the significance of the verification model. When the information is incomplete, the significance requirement can be met by gradually adding variables. When the model meets the preset model significance requirement, the calculation will be stopped. The improved least squares method has improved the accuracy and reliability of the original least squares method in the algorithm. After the model is established according to the improved least squares method, to obtain the alcohol concentration data, you only need to find the corresponding point in the model curve.
