Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ozone detection cavities, and in particular relates to a single-light-path ozone detection cavity. Background Art

[0002] Ozone (O3), an allotrope of oxygen, plays a vital role in environmental monitoring, water treatment, chemical production, healthcare and other fields due to its strong oxidizing properties and unique chemical properties. In particular, the ozone detection cavity has become one of the key technologies to achieve this goal in terms of accurate measurement of ozone concentration. The detection cavity is a container for holding and measuring gas samples. The ozone concentration is determined by analyzing the absorption of light of a specific wavelength by the gas in the cavity. Traditional detection cavity design, especially in the application of dual-optical path structure, can provide a certain degree of measurement accuracy, but it has some inherent limitations and challenges.

[0003] Traditional ozone concentration monitors, particularly those using a dual-optical path architecture, are based on the ultraviolet absorption method. This method utilizes ozone's high absorption rate of specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light to measure concentration. However, the dual-optical path architecture determines ozone concentration by comparing changes in light intensity between the sample and reference optical paths. This design aims to reduce the influence of external environmental factors on measurement results. However, this architecture also presents several significant issues: Difficulty in ensuring optical path consistency: Because two independent optical signal acquisition paths are used, even under optimal conditions, it is difficult to ensure perfect alignment of the two optical signals. These factors, including slight variations in light source intensity, optical path length, and individual differences in optical components, can all lead to deviations in measurement results. Sensor performance variations: The dual-optical path architecture requires two independent optical signal sensors, and subtle differences in performance, such as sensitivity, response speed, and linearity, can exist between different sensors. These variations can further exacerbate measurement errors. Zero drift: In a dual-optical path architecture, changes in either optical signal path, whether due to fluctuations in light source intensity or changes in sensor performance, can cause the instrument's zero value to drift, affecting measurement accuracy and stability. System complexity and cost: The dual-optical path design increases the complexity of the system, requiring not only more optical components and sensors but also more precise calibration and maintenance, which undoubtedly increases the cost and operational difficulty of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a single-light-path ozone detection cavity, which solves the disadvantage of the traditional dual-light-path structure that it cannot ensure the consistency of the two light signals due to the use of two light signals for collection.

[0005] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0006] The utility model provides a single-optical path ozone detection cavity, wherein a preamplifier plate, a preamplifier plate fixing part, a filter chamber, a transition chamber, and a lamp chamber are sequentially arranged from front to back, a quartz lens and a sealing ring are arranged on the side of the filter chamber close to the preamplifier plate fixing part, and there are multiple quartz lenses and sealing rings. An air inlet is arranged on the top of the filter chamber, and a solenoid valve is arranged on the side wall of the filter chamber. An exchange tube, a detection tube, and a zeroing tube are arranged between the filter chamber and the transition chamber, and the sealing ring is arranged at the contact position between the detection tube, the zeroing tube, the filter chamber, and the transition chamber, and an air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the transition chamber. The quartz lens and the sealing ring are arranged on the side of the transition chamber close to the lamp chamber, and the transition chamber is fixedly connected to the lamp chamber through a fixing plate. An ultraviolet lamp is arranged on the top of the lamp chamber, and a heating resistor and a temperature sensor are arranged on the side wall of the lamp chamber.

[0007] By adopting a single-channel architecture, this core shift means the entire system shares a single UV photoelectric sensor. This strategic adjustment fundamentally avoids the systematic errors caused by the difference in signals from two independent optical paths in the previous dual-channel architecture, significantly enhancing measurement consistency and reliability.

[0008] To further enhance system accuracy and ensure light source stability, a temperature control mechanism is incorporated into the lamp chamber assembly. Specifically, the addition of a heating resistor, supplemented by a high-precision temperature sensor, creates a closed-loop temperature control system. The ingenuity of this design lies in its ability to monitor and automatically adjust the lamp chamber temperature to a preset ideal state in real time. This effectively prevents UV light intensity instability caused by temperature fluctuations, thereby avoiding the resulting system errors and ensuring stable light source output and accurate measurement results.

[0009] In summary, by adopting a single-channel architecture and strengthening the temperature control of the lamp chamber, not only the system structure is simplified and potential sources of error are reduced, but the working efficiency of the UV photoelectric sensor is also significantly improved, laying a solid foundation for the accurate detection of ozone concentration.

[0010] On the basis of the above technical solution, the single-light-path ozone detection cavity of the present invention can also be improved as follows:

[0011] The quartz lens includes a No. 1 lens and a No. 2 lens. The No. 1 lens is located inside the transition chamber, and the No. 2 lens is located inside the filter chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing ring includes a No. 1 sealing ring, a No. 2 sealing ring, a No. 3 sealing ring, a No. 4 sealing ring, a No. 5 sealing ring, and a No. 6 sealing ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection tube is located on the side wall of the filter chamber and the transition chamber, the zeroing tube is located on the side wall of the filter chamber and the transition chamber, and the detection tube is located above the zeroing tube.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the exchange tube is fixedly connected to the air inlet, and the other side is connected to the top position of the transition chamber, and the exchange tube is located above the detection tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the heating resistor is located at the top of the rear side of the side wall of the lamp chamber.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature sensor is located at the bottom left side of the lamp chamber side wall.

[0017] Furthermore, the solenoid valve is located on the left side of the side wall of the filter chamber.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme is that the switching of the detection tube and the zeroing tube through the high-frequency electromagnetic valve can ensure the stability of the instrument zero point.

[0019] Furthermore, the air outlet is located on the left side of the side wall of the transition chamber.

[0020] Furthermore, the No. 1 sealing ring is arranged on the outside of the No. 1 lens, and the inner diameter of the No. 1 sealing ring is equal to the diameter of the No. 1 lens. The No. 2 sealing ring is located on the outside of the No. 2 lens, and the inner diameter of the No. 2 sealing ring is equal to the diameter of the No. 2 lens. The inner diameters of the No. 3 sealing ring and the No. 4 sealing ring are equal to the outer diameter of the detection tube, and the inner diameters of the No. 5 sealing ring and the No. 6 sealing ring are equal to the outer diameter of the zeroing tube.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the single-light-path ozone detection cavity provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] Enhanced zero point stability: Through the dynamic zero point calibration mechanism, the utility model can continuously update the zero point value, effectively avoiding the problem of zero point drift in the traditional dual optical path structure, and ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the measurement results;

[0023] Eliminate systematic errors: The single optical path structure eliminates the systematic errors caused by the inconsistency of the two optical signals in the dual optical path design, thus improving the accuracy of measurement.

[0025] Improved response speed and accuracy: The fast switching mechanism of the high-frequency solenoid valve, combined with precise temperature control, enables the utility model to complete a complete zero point calibration and concentration measurement process within 0.15 seconds, greatly improving the response speed and measurement accuracy.
