Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of near-infrared inspection, and particularly relates to an adjustable-focus near-infrared fiber optic probe. Background Technique
[0002] The granulating fluidized bed is used to complete the processes of granulation, coating and drying at one time during the pharmaceutical process and has been widely used in pharmaceutical production. The diameter of the particles obtained by the fluidized bed not only affects the subsequent process flow, but also directly affects the quality of the final drug. However, the existing operating parameters of the granulating fluidized bed are fixed during the production process, and the raw material batches and environmental conditions change with time, but the operating parameters cannot be adjusted accordingly, resulting in poor consistency of drug quality or even unqualified products.
[0003] By performing real-time online detection of the particle diameter, the operating parameters can be adjusted according to the changes, so that the particle diameter distribution is within the desired range, thereby monitoring the granulation process and ensuring the drug quality. Therefore, the online detection of the particle diameter during the fluidized bed granulation process is very necessary.
[0004] Quality inspection has always been an important step to ensure the qualified quality of drugs. The common online detection devices in the fluidized bed granulation process take samples and detect them by inserting sampling parts deep into the fluidization chamber when the fluidized bed is working. However, the fluidized bed is a closed working space, and the entry of the sampling parts may interfere with the normal fluidization granulation flow field and affect the granulation process and results.
[0005] The "Detection Sensor" with the Chinese patent application number CN202020789388.9 discloses that the detection sensor includes a base body, an emission optical path and a recovery optical path are arranged in the base body, there are 2 or more than 2 emission optical paths, all the emission optical paths enter from the outer surface of the window glass, all the emission optical paths intersect at the same area, and the area is located outside the base body; the area is located on the recovery optical path; the emission optical path includes a light source and a convex lens; the recovery optical path includes a light receiver and a convex lens; the light source has a power connection part, and the light receiver is connected to an optical fiber.
[0006] The focal length of the probe in the prior art is fixed, that is, the distance from the focus of the axis of the fiber collimating mirror and the axis of the bulb to the surface of the probe. When the thickness of the measured window glass is different, the following problems will occur:
[0007] 1. Focal length mismatch: When the glass is too thick, the focus will be too close to the probe and focus on the glass layer; when the glass is too thin, the focus will be too far and focus inside the glass, which will result in insufficient light intensity and affect the detection effect.
[0008] 2. Overheating problem: Due to the large power of the bulb, the probe will overheat after long-term operation, affecting normal operation.
[0009] 3. Dust accumulation: In some working environments, the air contains easily adherent dust. Long-term use will cause a large amount of dust to accumulate on the surface of the bulb or fiber collimator, affecting the light path and thus the detection results.
[0010] 4. Circuit problem: Frequent plugging and unplugging of bulb components can easily lead to internal circuit breakage, short circuit or poor contact. Summary of the invention
[0011] The utility model mainly solves the deficiencies in the prior art and provides an adjustable focal length near-infrared optical fiber probe, which has the characteristics of compact structure, good operation stability and long service life. It solves the problem of focal length mismatch. At the same time, it effectively solves the problems of overheating, dust accumulation and circuit instability. It improves the overall performance and service life of the probe.
[0012] The above technical problems of the utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solutions:
[0013] A near-infrared optical fiber probe with adjustable focal length comprises a probe seat, a probe holder is provided at the front end of the probe seat, a standard whiteboard is provided at the front end of the probe holder and is connected and fixed to the probe holder, an optical fiber collimator is provided at the rear end of the probe seat and is connected to the standard whiteboard, lamp holder assemblies are provided on both sides of the optical fiber collimator and are inserted into the probe seat and are connected to the standard whiteboard, and a focal length adjustment bracket is provided between the probe seat and the probe holder and is movably plugged into the probe seat. By adjusting the position of the bracket, the distance between the probe and the glass is adjusted, so that the focus is adjusted to a suitable position.
[0014] The function of the standard white board is to calibrate the spectrum and is used for total reflection of light. The standard white board is generally used in the measurement of colorimetry and photometry, and is also used in the calibration or verification of whiteness meters and colorimeters.

[0016] Preferably, a quick-insert air joint connected to the lamp holder assembly is provided between the lamp holder assembly and the optical fiber collimator, and the quick-insert air joint is threadedly sleeved and fixed to the probe seat. Clean compressed air is introduced through the quick-insert air joint to clean the internal optical path, thereby preventing dust accumulation. At the same time, the compressed air can take away the internal heat during the purge process, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
[0017] Preferably, the periphery of the bulb holder is provided with a plurality of air guide grooves distributed in an annular shape and connected to the quick-insert air connector.
[0018] Preferably, an adjusting plate is provided at the upper end of the probe base and is fixedly connected to the focal length adjusting bracket by screws. When the hole positions at the upper end of the adjusting plate and the corresponding empty positions on the probe base are aligned in sequence from left to right and from top to bottom, six adjusting points of 0 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm are adjusted out corresponding to the adjusting bracket. The distance between the hole positions on the adjusting plate is 4 mm in the X direction and 2 mm in the Y direction, and the distance between the hole positions on the probe base is 4 mm in the X direction and 4 mm in the Y direction. Thus, when the hole positions are aligned in the X direction, the distances relative to the 0 point in the Y direction are 0 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm respectively, thereby realizing the adjustment of the focal length.
