[0035] Diffuse reflection probe fixing bracket 3 Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it includes a light receiving component fixing seat 301, and light source lamp fixing plates 302 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the front of the light receiving component fixing seat 301. The light source lamp 8 is fixed between the two light source lamp fixing plates 302 by bolts, and the light source lamp 8 is set to face the light receiving component 9 and tilted at 30-45°.

[0036] The light receiving component 9 is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it includes a converging sleeve 901 and a collimating lens 902. The converging sleeve 901 is fixed on the light receiving component fixing seat 301, and the collimating lens 902 is installed inside the light receiving component fixing seat 301 and is located directly below the converging sleeve 901. The converging sleeve 901 is connected to an external detector through a wire.

[0037] Optocoupler 6 Figure 7 As shown, it is a U-shaped structure, and the left and right sides of the optical coupler 6 are provided with fixed ear plates 601, and the fixed ear plates 601 are fixed to the front side of the linear slide device 5 by bolts.

[0038] Optocoupler slice 7 Figure 2As shown, it includes a vertical slice 701, which is flush with the U-shaped groove of the optical coupler 6. A connecting piece 702 is provided at the upper end of the back side of the vertical slice 701, and the connecting piece 702 is fixed to the side of the horizontal connecting plate 101 by bolts.

[0039] Fixed mounting bracket 2 Figure 6 As shown, it includes a horizontal support plate 201 and a vertical mounting plate 202 .

[0041] The light emitted by the light bulb of the light source lamp 8 is reflected and collimated by the aluminum reflector cup and then emitted. Figure 8 As shown, the linear slide rail device 5 drives the optical path switching module 1 to move, and realizes the switching of the reference optical path and the sample optical path in turn. After the light is irradiated to the external sample 10 or the reference module 104 respectively, the reflected light is received by the light receiving component 9 encapsulated in the diffuse reflection probe fixing bracket 3, and then transmitted through the optical fiber, and finally received by the external detector.

[0044] The initial position is determined by moving the optical coupler slice 7 fixed on the optical path switching module 1 to the position of the optical coupler 6 fixed on the linear slide device 5 and cutting off the signal of the optical coupler 6 to ensure that each movement is performed first accurately reset and then moved to the corresponding irradiation position.

[0045] The provision of the heat-insulating connecting block 4 can prevent the heat generated by the light source lamp 8 from being directly transferred to the fixed mounting frame 2 and then transferred to the linear guide rail device 5, thereby causing aging of the electrical components.

[0046] The utility model can effectively ensure the recovery response area and uniformity of the diffuse reflection signal of the external sample 10, integrate the reference signal and sample signal acquisition into a set of diffuse reflection probes, automatically and regularly calibrate the influence of factors such as environmental temperature and humidity, light source energy, baseline drift, etc., and improve the measurement accuracy and reliability; the structural design is more compact and small, and the assembly and debugging are convenient, which can eliminate the measurement deviation caused by hardware assembly differences to the greatest extent, improve the stability of the collected signal, and has wide application value.
