[0043] The gold-plated reflective cup 2 is used to reflect the light emitted by the halogen light source 4 to the sample 22 to be tested and the reference module.

[0044] The concave lens 13 is used to collect as much light diffusely reflected by the sample 22 as possible into the sample collection channel.

[0045] The reflector 8 is used to change the direction of the light collected in the sample collection channel and enter the collimator 15 .

[0046] The collimator 15 is used to converge the collected divergent light to the receiving end face of the optical fiber 18, so as to ensure the best coupling efficiency between the interface of the optical fiber 18 and the collimator 15.

[0047] The reference module is used to receive the signal directly emitted by the halogen light source 4 , and collect the diffusely reflected light with changed direction into the collimator 15 .

[0048] The calibration light source 17 is used to emit a wavelength calibration standard spectrum line.

[0049] The optical installation valve body 5 is used for installing and fixing the concave lens 13 , the reflector 8 , and the optical channel switching component 9 .

[0050] The driving motor 11 is connected to a control circuit for realizing the change of the detection channels of the halogen light source 4 and the calibration light source 17 under different detection states.

[0051] The optical fiber 18 is used to receive the optical signal transmitted by the signal acquisition channel, and transmit the optical signal to the receiving end of the spectrometer 19 in real time.

[0052] When the utility model is used, the sample 22 to be tested is placed under the near-infrared light source irradiation mechanism, and the reference module, the wavelength calibration part, and the sample detection are integrated into a set of devices. The sample signal, the reference signal, and the wavelength calibration signal are respectively recovered through the built-in optical channel switching component 9, and are converged and transmitted to the spectrometer 19 through the optical fiber 18. The switching of signals between different channels is achieved by driving the motor 11 to control the rotation of the optical channel switching component 9. The collection of the diffuse reflection light signal of the sample 22 to be tested is through a group of lens devices, which can effectively expand the collection area of ​​the diffuse reflection light of the sample 22 to be tested.

[0053] Specifically:

[0054] The light emitted by the halogen light source 4 is diverged by the reflective concave mirror 7 and irradiates the surface of the gold-plated reflective cup 2. After being collimated, the light is irradiated onto the external sample 22 to be tested and the reference module respectively.

[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, when the signal of the sample to be tested 22 is collected in real time, the halogen light source 4 is in the on state, the calibration light source 17 is in the off state, and the driving motor 11 drives the optical channel switching component 9 to switch to the sample signal collection channel, that is, the optical channel 902 is aligned with the reflector 8 and the collimator 15. At this time, a part of the light irradiated on the external sample to be tested 22 will be absorbed by the sample to be tested 22 itself, and the unabsorbed part of the light will be diffusely reflected back, converged by the concave lens 13 and irradiated onto the reflector 8. The direction of the light is changed by the reflector 8, so that the light passes through the optical channel 902 again, reaches the horizontally placed collimator 15, converges to the optical fiber 18, and is finally transmitted to the spectrometer 19. Finally, the spectrometer 19 obtains the near-infrared signal of the sample to be tested 22.

[0056] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the reference signal is automatically and periodically collected, the halogen light source 4 is in the on state, because frequent switching of the halogen light source 4 will affect the stability, so it needs to be always on, and the calibration light source 17 is in the off state, and the driving motor 11 drives the optical channel switching component 9 to switch to the reference signal collection channel, that is, the first inclined surface 903 faces the collimator 15, and the light emitted by the halogen light source 4 is irradiated on the reference module, and a part of it will be absorbed by the reference module itself, and the part of the light that is not absorbed is diffusely reflected back and changes the transmission direction, and is converged to the optical fiber 18 through the horizontally placed collimator 15, and finally transmitted to the spectrometer 19. Finally, the spectrometer 19 obtains the near-infrared signal of the reference module.

[0057] like Fig.10As shown, when the wavelength calibration signal is automatically and periodically collected, the halogen light source 4 is in the on state. Because frequent switching of the halogen light source 4 will affect the stability, it needs to be always on. The calibration light source 17 is in the on state, and the drive motor 11 drives the optical channel switching component 9 to switch to the wavelength calibration signal collection channel, that is, the second bevel 904 faces the collimator 15, and the light emitted by the calibration light source 17 is reflected by the second bevel 904, and then converged to the optical fiber 18 through the horizontally placed collimator 15, and transmitted to the spectrometer 19. Finally, the spectrometer 19 obtains the near-infrared signal of the wavelength calibration module.

[0058] After the instrument is turned on and stabilized for at least one hour, the halogen light source 4 and the calibration light source 17 are turned off, and the optical channel switching component 9 is switched to the reference signal acquisition channel by driving the motor 11 to ensure the signal transmission path of the reference light path. Finally, the spectrometer 19 obtains the dark background near-infrared signal of the reference light path.

[0059] After the instrument is turned on and stabilized for at least one hour, the halogen light source 4 and the calibration light source 17 are turned off, and the optical channel switching component 9 is switched to the sample signal acquisition channel by driving the motor 11 to ensure the sample signal transmission path. Finally, the spectrometer 19 obtains the dark background near-infrared signal of the sample light path.

[0060] According to the standard method of spectral instrument absorbance and wavelength calibration, combined with the near-infrared signal obtained above, the diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectrum of the sample 22 to be tested is finally calculated for subsequent qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample 22 to be tested.

[0061] The utility model provides an optical path switching acquisition and calibration system, which adopts an optical channel switching component 9 to meet the sample detection and system calibration requirements, automatically and regularly calibrates the influence of factors such as environmental temperature and humidity, light source energy, baseline drift, etc., and improves the measurement accuracy and reliability; at the same time, it avoids the movement of core optical components, eliminates the measurement deviation caused by the requirement for movement accuracy to the greatest extent, improves the stability of the acquisition signal, is suitable for online and offline near-infrared diffuse reflectance measurement of solids, liquids, suspensions, etc. with different particle sizes, and has wide application value.

[0062] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
