Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid turbidity measurement, and in particular relates to a non-contact turbidity collection and measurement device. Background Art
[0002] Turbidity measurement is an important parameter in modern industry and scientific research, used to assess the level of suspended particles or turbidity in liquids.
[0003] Currently, most turbidity measurement methods rely on contact sensors, which must be directly immersed or brought into contact with the test liquid. This contact operation can lead to sample contamination, especially when handling sensitive or easily contaminated liquids, such as in the quality control of biopharmaceutical products. Furthermore, contact devices typically require regular cleaning and calibration to prevent accumulation of dirt on the sensor surface, which can affect measurement accuracy. This poses challenges such as sample contamination and inconvenient maintenance.
[0004] The presence of insoluble matter reduces the transparency of a liquid. Therefore, turbidity is not equivalent to suspended solids content. Suspended solids content is the weight of material in the water that can be retained by filter paper. Turbidity, on the other hand, is an optical effect that reflects the degree to which light is obstructed when passing through a water layer. This optical effect is related to the size and shape of particles. Practice has shown that turbidity has no correlation with the weight concentration of suspended solids. The higher the turbidity of water, the stronger the reflected and scattered light, while the weaker the transmitted light. Conversely, the lower the turbidity, the weaker the reflected and scattered light, while the stronger the transmitted light. Therefore, by measuring the change in the intensity of scattered and transmitted light, the turbidity of water can be determined. Utility Model Content
