Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for detecting the refractive index of liquid, in particular to a device for detecting the refractive index of liquid based on a transmission light path. Background Art

[0002] The refractive index of a liquid is also called the refractive index or refractive index. It is an important optical physical parameter of the liquid and affects the scattering vector of the test system. The scattering vector is a parameter that needs to be calculated in several test processes, such as particle size test technology based on dynamic light scattering theory, Zeta potential test technology based on electrophoretic light scattering theory, etc. The accuracy of the liquid refractive index has an important influence on the accuracy of the results. It can be seen from theoretical calculations that in dynamic light scattering technology, a 1% refractive index error will lead to a 2.4% particle size calculation error.

[0003] The traditional liquid refractive index detection method based on the transmission light path uses a laser beam to be incident on a tilted rectangular sample cell filled with liquid, where the front and rear walls of the rectangular sample cell are parallel glass plates or quartz plates. The light is refracted at the interface between the air and the cell wall and the interface between the liquid medium and the cell wall during the process of passing through the sample cell, where the refraction angle conforms to the law of refraction. The outgoing light after the light passes through the sample cell is parallel to the direction of the incident light, and a certain offset occurs in height. The offset is related to the refractive index of the liquid in the sample cell. The refractive index value of the liquid can be obtained through the relationship between the offset and the refractive index of the liquid. Although this method is simple, it requires a large tilt angle of the sample cell and a long travel distance of the light in the liquid to ensure sufficient offset. The required sample volume is usually 1mL or more, which cannot meet the needs of micro-sample testing. Taking the commonly used glass cuvette with an inner diameter of 10mm x 10mm and a wall thickness of 1.2mm as an example, when the sample cell is tilted 5°, the optical path height offset corresponding to the liquid refractive index increasing from 1.33 to 1.49 is about 0.072mm; when the sample cell is tilted 10°, the optical path height offset corresponding to the liquid refractive index increasing from 1.33 to 1.49 is about 0.14mm. Considering that the laser spot size is usually above 100 microns and the accuracy of detecting the offset is in the range of 4-6μm, the smaller optical path offset increases the difficulty of detecting the liquid refractive index. The accuracy of this type of structure for detecting the liquid refractive index is about 1-2%. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem of low accuracy of existing methods for detecting refractive index based on transmitted light paths, the problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for detecting liquid refractive index based on transmitted light paths and a detection method thereof, which provides liquid refractive index detection with an accuracy better than 0.05%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0045] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model provides a device for detecting the refractive index of liquid based on a transmission light path, characterized in that it includes a laser, a sample pool, a constant temperature bath, a photoelectric imaging device 12, a control unit and a PC; the sample pool is light-transmissive at the front and back, and one or both walls of the light-transmitting surface are right-angled trapezoidal wedge-shaped glass 5;

[0046] The laser light 9 emitted by the laser penetrates through the liquid sample 3 in the sample pool and finally forms an image on the photoelectric imaging device 12 placed in the transmission direction;

[0047] The control unit is used to receive PC instructions and output control signals to control the temperature of the constant temperature bath for sample 3 to avoid the influence of temperature deviation on the refractive index determination.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the sample pool is designed to be light-transmissive on both sides, made of quartz glass or K9 glass, and uses a melting process to withstand aqueous and organic samples;

[0049] The two light-transmitting surfaces of the sample pool can be designed in two ways. Sample pool design 1 is that the pool wall on one side of the light-transmitting surface of the sample pool is a parallel glass plate 4, and the pool wall on the other side of the light-transmitting surface is a right-angled trapezoidal wedge-shaped glass 5, whose oblique waist 7 is located on the inner side of the sample pool.

[0050] The sample pool design 2 is that both sides of the sample pool light-transmitting surface are wedge-shaped glass 5 with a right-angle trapezoidal cross section, and one side of the oblique waist 7 is located inside the sample pool. The sample volume required for both designs is less than 350 microliters.

[0051] In design one of the sample pools, the angle 8 between the oblique waist 7 and the right-angle waist 6 on one side of the wedge-shaped glass 5 is between 5° and 12°, and in design two, the sum of the angles 8 between the oblique waist 7 and the right-angle waist 6 on both sides of the wedge-shaped glass is between 5° and 12°.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the laser light 9 passes through four interfaces in sequence when passing through the sample pool, namely, the interface 13 between the air and the outer wall of the glass pool wall on the laser incident side, the interface 14 between the inner wall of the glass pool wall on the laser incident side and the liquid, the interface 15 between the liquid and the inner wall of the glass pool wall on the laser exit side, and the interface 16 between the outer wall of the glass pool wall on the laser exit side and the air. After the laser passes through the sample pool, the optical path direction of the exiting laser light 10 changes, and the variable of its direction change is related to the refractive index of the sample.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the sample cell can be placed vertically or tilted at an angle 17 less than 10°, and the direction of the laser emission light path 10 is changed.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the laser beam profile of the laser is circular, and the light spot 20 thereof is projected as a circle.

[0055] After the laser passes through the sample, its spot 20 is imaged on the photoelectric imaging device 12, and the photoelectric imaging device 12 can detect the position 22 of the center point 21 of the spot imaging with high precision. Since the laser is refracted after passing through the sample pools 1 and 2, the spot imaging position deviates from the direction of the incident laser 9, and the refractive index 29 of the sample is calculated based on the relationship between the center point position 22 of the spot imaging and the refractive index.

[0056] The distance between the photoelectric imaging device 12 and the central axis 18 of the sample pool is set within the range of 25mm-75mm. The center point position 22 of the light spot imaging is related to the distance 19 from the sample pool to the photoelectric imaging device. The farther the distance, the greater the imaging position offset.

[0057] A high-resolution photoelectric imaging device is used, and the photosensitive surface of the photoelectric imaging device 12 is arranged perpendicular to the laser incident direction 9. The photoelectric imaging device includes CCD and CMOS.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, when the sample refractive index is in the range of 1.2 to 1.6, there is a linear relationship between the position 22 of the center point of the light spot imaging and the refractive index.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, a calibration curve is drawn by using 2 to 5 samples with known refractive indexes and the refractive index of a sample with unknown refractive index is calculated. The specific steps include the following steps:

[0060] 1) Inject a liquid sample with a known refractive index of 27 into the sample cell, then place the sample cell in a constant temperature bath and perform a constant temperature operation to make the sample reach the target temperature;

[0061] 2) By analyzing the projection of the light spot 20 on the optoelectronic imaging device 12, the position 22 of the center point of the light spot imaging on the vertical coordinate 23 is obtained;

[0062] 3) repeating steps 1)-2) to detect the vertical position 26 of the center point of the light spot of 2-5 liquid samples with known refractive index;

[0063] 4) drawing a calibration curve 24 using the refractive index and vertical position of the sample;

[0064] 5) Inject a liquid sample with an unknown refractive index, repeat steps 1)-2), detect the vertical position 28 of the center point of the light spot of the liquid sample with an unknown refractive index, and then find its corresponding refractive index 29 on the calibration curve 24.

[0065] The calibration curve 24 in step 4) is drawn, and a linear fit is performed on the position data points of the sample with a known refractive index, and the linear correlation coefficient R 2 Better than 0.99, the calibration curve extension line 25 can still be used for effective detection of samples with unknown refractive index.

[0066] like Figure 7As shown in A, the sample pool is designed as 1, the angle between the fixed oblique waist and the right-angle waist is 5°, the fixed sample pool tilt angle is 0°, the distances between the photoelectric imaging device and the central axis of the sample pool are 25mm, 50mm and 70mm respectively, the refractive index is in the range of 1.2 to 1.6, the refractive index is linearly related to the vertical position of the center point of the light spot, the farther the distance, the greater the slope of the linear relationship, wherein the incident laser extension line 11 is at 0 in the vertical direction of the photoelectric imaging device 12;

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown in B, the sample pool is designed as 1, the fixed sample pool tilt angle is 0°, the distance between the fixed photoelectric imaging device and the sample pool centerline is 75 mm, the angles between the oblique waist and the right-angle waist are 5°, 7°, 10°, and 12°, respectively, and the refractive index is in the range of 1.2 to 1.6. The refractive index is linearly related to the vertical position of the center point of the light spot. The larger the angle between the oblique waist and the right-angle waist, the larger the slope of the linear relationship. The incident laser extension line 11 is at 0 in the vertical direction of the photoelectric imaging device 12;

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown in C, the sample pool is designed as 1, the angle between the fixed oblique waist and the right-angle waist is 5°, the distance between the fixed photoelectric imaging device and the central axis of the sample pool is 25 mm, the sample pool tilt angles are 0°, 5°, and 10°, and the refractive index is in the range of 1.2 to 1.6. The refractive index is linearly related to the vertical position of the center point of the light spot. The larger the tilt angle of the sample pool, the larger the slope of the linear relationship. The incident laser extension line 11 is at 0 in the vertical direction of the photoelectric imaging device 12;

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown, the inclination angle of the fixed sample pool is 5°, the distance between the fixed photoelectric imaging device and the central axis of the sample pool is 50 mm, the included angle between the oblique waist and the right-angle waist of sample pool design 1 is 10°, and the included angle between the oblique waist and the right-angle waist of the wedge-shaped glass on both sides of sample pool design 2 is 5° and the sum of the included angles is 10°. In the range of refractive index of 1.2 to 1.6, the refractive index is linearly related to the vertical position of the center of the light spot. Under the same conditions of the included angle of the oblique waist and the right-angle waist, the vertical position of the center of the light spot of the two designs is basically the same, and the slope of the linear relationship is basically the same.

6. The device for detecting the refractive index of liquid based on a transmission light path according to claim 1, characterized in that: The laser beam profile of the laser is circular, and the light spot projection is circular.

7. The device for detecting the refractive index of liquid based on a transmission light path according to claim 1, characterized in that: After the laser passes through the sample, its spot is imaged on the photoelectric imaging device, which can detect the position of the center point of the spot imaging with high precision. Since the laser is refracted after passing through the sample cell, the position of the spot imaging deviates from the direction of the incident laser. The refractive index of the sample is calculated based on the relationship between the position of the center point of the spot imaging and the refractive index. When the sample refractive index is in the range of 1.2 to 1.6, there is a linear relationship between the position of the center point of the light spot imaging and the refractive index.
