[0002] There are a large number of fluid inclusions in quartz minerals. The trace impurity elements contained in the fluid inclusions are the innate conditions for evaluating whether the quartz minerals can be used to prepare high-purity quartz. At present, the detection method for the content of fluid inclusions in quartz sand generally adopts a detection method based on machine vision, which uses a microscope to capture and collect quartz sand images, and then processes the images to calculate the content of fluid inclusions in quartz minerals.

[0003] However, when taking and collecting quartz sand images, in order to ensure that the range of each image covers the entire sample collection area, external manual operation is required to adjust the sample position or the microscope shooting lens. Since the silicon dioxide molecules in quartz sand are easily affected by ambient light, frequent external manual adjustment operations may cause interference with the light.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] In the following description, the terms "first second\third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the present invention are only for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] The implementation of the quartz sand image acquisition device provided by the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the quartz sand image acquisition device provided by the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the quartz sand image acquisition device includes: a polarizing microscope 101, a shooting lens 102, a supporting component 103, a moving component including an X-axis moving component 104 and a Y-axis moving component 105, a fill light component 106 and a sample acquisition component 107.

[0033] Here, the support assembly 103 can be regarded as a fixed base bracket, which plays a supporting role. The moving assembly is arranged on the support assembly 103, including an X-axis moving assembly 104 and a Y-axis moving assembly 105 arranged on the X-axis moving assembly, and the sample collection assembly 107 is arranged on the Y-axis moving assembly 105. It should be noted that the X-axis moving assembly 104 and the Y-axis moving assembly 105 can be a slider or a moving device installed at the bottom of the sample collection assembly 107, which has the function of moving along the X-axis and along the Y-axis respectively, and when moving, it drives the subassemblies inside the sample collection assembly 107 to move accordingly, which will be described in detail below. The sample collection assembly 107 can be a detector or a sample tray for storing the quartz sand to be tested, such as a slide glass or a cover glass, which can hold a sample of quartz sand.

[0034] The shooting lens 102 is connected to the polarizing microscope 101, and the shooting direction of the shooting lens 102 is toward the sample collection component 107, and the fill light component 106 is arranged above the sample collection component 107 to provide a light source with a fixed light intensity to fill light for the quartz sand on the sample collection component 107. When the polarizing microscope 101 uses the shooting lens 102 to shoot, a light source with a fixed light intensity is provided to fill light for the quartz sand on the sample collection component 107.

[0035] Since the composition of the quartz sand sample is SiO2, it is very easy to be affected by light, so the polarizing microscope 101 can be set not to be exposed, and the polarizing microscope 101 can be placed in a black box as a whole, and the natural environment light is not used during the shooting process, and only the fill light component 106 is used for fill light. Here, the polarizing microscope 101 is set with a fixed magnification, such as 50 times, which cannot be changed, and the focal length of the polarizing microscope can be fine-tuned to adjust the clarity.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the quartz sand image acquisition device also includes a control component 108, which can be a small system device installed on the mobile component, such as a single-chip microcomputer or a micro system, and can receive and interpret the transmitted instructions in real time. This instruction can be an operation code or a logic program for indicating the moving operation. The control component 108 is used to control the X-axis moving component 104 on the support component 103 to move a fixed unit distance along the X axis, and the control component 108 is also used to control the Y-axis moving component 105 on the support component 103 to move a fixed unit distance along the Y axis. Here, the fixed unit distance can be set according to the internal component size of the sample acquisition component 107, which will be explained below.

[0037] Continue to see Figure 2 The control component 108 of the quartz sand image acquisition device can communicate with the external device 109, that is, a first communication module 100 is arranged between the control component 108 and the external device 109, and the first communication module 100 can be a local area network or a network link, which can perform network communication. The external device 109 includes a computer or a smart mobile terminal installed with intelligent software 1091, and the intelligent software 1091 can be an application or a logic software program installed on the computer or the smart mobile terminal, such as an APP, etc., which is used to convey the instructions for moving the X-axis moving component 104 and the Y-axis moving component 105 to the control component 108 through the first communication module 100, that is, the operation code or the logic program for instructing the moving operation.

[0038] Through the intelligent software 1091 and the control component 108 on the external device 109, the X-axis moving component 104 and the Y-axis moving component can be automatically displaced according to a certain time interval, and the automatic displacement eliminates the necessity of manually adjusting the positioning of the quartz sand sample, saving the operator's time and energy. Manual adjustment may lead to inaccurate or overlapping positions, thereby causing overlapping or missing problems in the collected quartz sand images.

[0039] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the function of the shooting lens provided by the utility model. Figure 3As shown, the shooting lens 102 of the quartz sand image acquisition device is set on the polarizing microscope 101. By setting a certain moving time interval, after the X-axis moving component 104 or the Y-axis moving component 105 moves a fixed unit distance, the quartz sand moving on the sample collection component 107 is photographed. Here, there are three ways to move the X-axis moving component 104 and the Y-axis moving component 105: First, only the X-axis moving component 104 moves a fixed unit distance, and the Y-axis moving component 105 does not move. Second, the X-axis moving component 104 does not move, and only the X-axis moving component 104 moves a fixed unit distance. Third, the X-axis moving component 104 and the Y-axis moving component 105 both move a fixed unit distance at the same time. After each movement, the shooting lens 102 can be used to take pictures.

[0040] The automatic displacement of the X-axis moving component 104 or the Y-axis moving component 105 and the precise control of the fixed displacement distance ensure that the position of each quartz sand image is accurate, reducing the occurrence of errors. The quartz sand images obtained between different quartz sands and at different time points have consistent imaging ranges and positions. This helps to compare the differences between different quartz sands or track the changes of the same sample, improving the repeatability and reliability of the experimental results.

[0041] Continue to see Figure 3 , the shooting lens 102 of the quartz sand image acquisition device can also communicate with the external device 109, that is, a second communication module 200 is provided between the shooting lens 102 and the external device 109. The second communication module 200 can also be a local area network or a network link, which can perform network communication and data transmission, or it can be a transit system device with a certain data storage function. The second communication module is used to store the quartz sand image captured by the shooting lens 102 and transmit it to the intelligent software 1092 of the external device 109. The intelligent software 1092 here can also be an application or logic software program installed on a computer or an intelligent mobile terminal, which can be different from the above-mentioned intelligent software 1091. Therefore, the staff can obtain the quartz sand image captured by the shooting lens 102 from the intelligent software 1092 for subsequent detection and processing.

[0042] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the fill light component provided by the utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the fill light component 106 in the quartz sand image acquisition device includes a light guide component 1061 and a fill light 1062 for fill light to the polarized light microscope 101. The fill light 1062 here is a light source that provides a fixed light intensity. The light guide component 1061 is installed inside the fill light, and can be a small hardware device or a micro system installed inside the fill light, and can input a corresponding control program in advance. This control program can control the fill light 1062 according to the shooting direction of the camera lens 102 to guide the fill light 1062 to fill light in the shooting direction. Here, the fill light 1062 has a fixed light brightness, so it can be used as a light source that provides a fixed light intensity, so that the fill light component 106 can fill light with a fixed light intensity.

[0043] By setting a fixed light intensity through the fill light 1062, the fill light component 106 can fill light with a fixed light intensity. Using a light source with a fixed light intensity can provide more consistent and stable lighting conditions to help improve imaging quality. On the one hand, considering that the intensity of natural light will be affected by weather, time and other environmental factors, a light source with a fixed light intensity can provide relatively consistent lighting conditions under various environmental conditions. On the other hand, it can reduce unnecessary interference that may be caused by natural light, such as unstable light or reflection from the surrounding environment that will affect the observation of SiO2 molecules in quartz sand. Using a light source with a fixed intensity can reduce these interferences, making observation clearer and more accurate.

[0044] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the sample collection component provided by the utility model. The sample collection component 107 is a detector or sample tray for storing quartz sand samples to be tested, including a carrying component 1071 for carrying quartz sand and a cover glass 1072 for covering the quartz sand. Among them, the carrying component 1071 is provided with a slide glass 1073 for carrying quartz sand and a connecting device. The connecting device can also be a slider or a moving device. The carrier 1073 is connected to the control component through the detector or sample tray so that the slide glass 1073 can be moved by means of the moving component. The cover glass 1072 is covered on the quartz sand of the slide glass 1073, that is, the slide glass 1073 is placed on the detector or sample tray for the quartz sand sample to be tested. Figure 5 The diamond-shaped object shown in the figure is a quartz sand sample. Here, the slide glass 1073 is placed on the detector or sample tray of the quartz sand sample to be tested, and is rectangular in shape and has a fixed size, such as 1 cm*1 cm. The sample area of ​​the sample collection component 107 is also set to a fixed size, such as 1.5 cm*1.5 cm, and the range of the sample area is also the range of movement of the cover glass 1073.

[0045] Specific as Figure 6 As shown, within the range of the cover glass (sample area), each small square is the moving position of the cover glass 1073. When the X-axis moving component 104 drives the sample collection component 107 to move toward the X-axis, the cover glass 1073 on the carrier component 1071 moves along the X-axis, and the unit distance of movement (that is, the distance of the moving position) can be 2.6 mm. Similarly, when the Y-axis moving component 105 drives the sample collection component 107 to move toward the X-axis, the cover glass 1073 on the carrier component 1071 moves along the Y-axis, and the unit distance of movement can also be 2.6 mm.

[0046] In this way, the quartz sand on the cover glass 1073 is eventually displaced in the X-axis or Y-axis direction at a certain moving time interval, so that the shooting lens 102 takes a microscopic image of the quartz sand at each moving time interval as a quartz sand image. In this way, the image shooting range of the shooting lens 102 can cover the entire cover glass range, while ensuring that the range of each microscope image taken does not overlap.

[0047] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and scope of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
