Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radiometers, and more specifically, to a compact filter wheel type multi-channel radiometer mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Multi-channel radiometers have a wide range of applications in the fields of environmental monitoring, meteorological observation, agricultural research, etc., and can be used for measuring parameters such as atmospheric aerosol thickness, water vapor content, solar radiation measurement, and ground object reflectivity. At present, the multi-channel radiometers used in China all have the optical head separated from the control electric box, resulting in a relatively large overall volume; in addition, in order to shorten the measurement time, some designs use one detector for each channel, which can collect multiple measurement signals simultaneously, but this also increases the volume of the optical head and limits the miniaturization potential of the system.

[0003] In view of this, we propose a compact filter wheel type multi-channel radiometer mechanism. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, meet the actual needs, and provide a compact filter wheel type multi-channel radiometer mechanism to solve the technical problem that the current existing multi-channel radiometers have the optical head separated from the control electric box, resulting in a relatively large overall volume.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A compact filter wheel type multi-channel radiometer mechanism, including a housing with a cable socket arranged on one side;

[0006] One end of the housing is fixedly closed with an installation substrate. On the side of the installation substrate facing the housing, a visible channel and an infrared channel are fixedly installed.

An outer gear tooth is fixedly arranged on the outer edge surface of the rotating shaft. A filter wheel body is embedded with a plurality of band-pass filters. A driving motor is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket. The driving motor is connected by a motor shaft with a gear that can rotatably engage with the outer gear tooth. A signal amplification module is fixedly arranged between the bracket and the installation substrate. A main control acquisition module is arranged inside the housing between the cable socket and the bracket.

[0007] The present utility model integrates the visible channel, infrared channel, signal amplification module, and main control acquisition module after modular unit design inside the optical head, optimizes the internal wiring layout, effectively reduces the overall size of the system, and the gear engages with the external teeth on the edge of the filter wheel body for transmission, enabling the filter wheel body to rotate 360 degrees around the rotation axis. Multiple band-pass filters embedded in the filter wheel body are used to selectively transmit light radiation within a specific wavelength range. After the band-pass filters are reasonably arranged, the centers of two band-pass filters can be simultaneously aligned with the optical axes of the visible channel and the infrared channel respectively during each measurement, realizing simultaneous measurement by the visible detector and the infrared detector. Two channels are used to achieve multi-channel multiplexing, reducing the number of required optical channels and detectors, thereby reducing the complexity and volume of the optical head.

[0008] Preferably, a target detector is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting substrate away from the visible channel and the infrared channel, and the target detector is arranged in parallel with the visible channel and the infrared channel.

[0009] Preferably, a visible stray light elimination diaphragm for eliminating stray light outside the field of view of the visible channel is fixedly installed at the front end position of the visible channel on the side of the mounting substrate where the target detector is provided.

[0011] Preferably, the filter wheel body is installed at the ends of the visible channel and the infrared channel, and a visible detector and an infrared detector are installed on the other side of the filter wheel body. The axis of the visible detector coincides with the optical axis of the visible channel, and the axis of the infrared detector coincides with the optical axis of the infrared channel.

[0012] Preferably, an optical lens one for converging the incident light of the measurement target onto the visible detector is arranged inside the visible channel, and an optical lens two for converging the incident light of the measurement target onto the infrared detector is arranged inside the infrared channel.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:
