Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photographic measurement technology, specifically relating to an invasive probe reflector. Background Technology
[0002] In invasive photogrammetry techniques for multiphase reactors, the imaging systems used are primarily employed to capture localized images of the reactor's interior. This technique typically utilizes high-magnification lenses to obtain clear localized images, resulting in a relatively small field of view. However, the use of such high-magnification lenses introduces a significant problem: a very short depth of field, approximately between 0.1mm and 5mm. Consequently, when using traditional probe reflectors, significant defocusing occurs within the captured field of view.
[0003] This defocusing problem leads to a decrease in image quality when capturing images inside multiphase reactors, making measurements of local properties (such as particle size distribution, morphology, velocity, and phase content) inaccurate. Defocusing can cause key features to be misinterpreted, thus affecting the performance analysis and optimization design of multiphase reactors. Furthermore, simply shortening the distance between the reflector and the probe causes light diffraction and interference from probe impurities, further reducing image quality. This halo phenomenon and probe impurities, especially during precise measurement and monitoring of reactions, can increase errors. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a novel invasive probe reflector to solve these problems, improve the image clarity of images captured inside multiphase reactors, and thus enhance the accuracy and reliability of measurements.

The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims. Detailed Implementation

[0027] This utility model provides an invasive probe reflector, which includes a reflector support assembly, a support frame, and two ends of the support frame are independently connected to the reflector support part and the probe entry part, respectively. A reflector is provided on the inner side of the reflector support part.
[0028] The reflector support assembly is fitted with a first sleeve and a second sleeve that do not contact each other, and the side walls of the first sleeve and the second sleeve are independently provided with openings.
[0029] In this invention, the reflector support assembly has a reflector bearing section at one end and a probe entry section at the other end, ensuring the stability and durability of the overall structure while allowing sufficient flexibility to adapt to different reactor environments. Both the first and second jackets have openings, the size and direction of which can be adjusted according to the density difference between the dispersed phase and the main phase inside the reactor. If the dispersed phase density is less than the main phase, the opening faces upwards; conversely, if the dispersed phase density is greater, the opening faces downwards, ensuring that the dispersed phase does not accumulate in the jackets.
[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the width of the opening of the first and second clips can be 0.2 to 1 cm, such as 0.2 cm, 0.3 cm, 0.4 cm, 0.5 cm, 0.6 cm, 0.7 cm, 0.8 cm, 0.9 cm or 1 cm, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0031] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the reflector is preferably a silicone reflector. The arrangement of the first and second clips reduces light diffraction when the reflector and the probe are close together, while also reducing the influence of impurities on the probe surface.
[0032] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the size and shape of the reflector can be adjusted according to the testing needs, and are not further limited here. For example, the reflector is circular with a diameter of 0.8 to 5 cm, such as 0.8 cm, 1 cm, 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, or 5 cm, but is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0033] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the support frame of the reflector support assembly is preferably made of stainless steel, the reflector bearing part is preferably made of stainless steel, and the probe entry part is preferably made of stainless steel. With the use of silicone reflectors, the stability and durability of the reflector support and reflector sheet are improved, making them suitable for various industrial and research environments, and maintaining performance even under extreme conditions.
[0034] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the size and shape of the reflector bearing portion in the reflector support assembly can be adjusted according to the size of the reflector it supports, and are not specifically limited here.

The reflector support portion and the reflector are preferably detachably connected, facilitating the replacement of the reflector according to different measurement environments.
[0036] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the size and shape of the probe entry part in the reflector support assembly can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the invasive probe used in the test, and are not specifically limited here.
[0037] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, as an example, the length of the reflector support assembly can be 2 to 8 cm, such as 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm or 8 cm, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0038] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the structure of the supporting frame is specifically manifested in the shape, length, and angle between the connecting rod and the reflector bearing part. It can be adjusted according to the reactor and testing needs, and is not specifically limited here.
[0039] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the first jacket and the second jacket do not contact each other, and the first jacket and the second jacket are movably connected to the reflector support assembly, so that the distance between the first jacket and the second jacket and the opening direction can be freely adjusted, which can adapt to different reactor environments and measurement requirements, and improve versatility and practicality.
[0040] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the first sleeve is fitted with the outer wall of the probe entry part, and the inner wall of the second sleeve is fitted with the outer wall of the reflector bearing part, but this does not affect the rotation of the first sleeve and the axial translation of the second sleeve.
[0041] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the method of using the reflector of the invasive probe includes:
[0042] Install the reflector on the reflector support assembly. Determine the opening direction of the first and second jackets based on the density difference between the dispersed phase and the main phase inside the reactor being tested. Fix the invasive probe to the probe inlet. Place the invasive probe reflector and the invasive probe together inside the reactor. Adjust the distance between the first and second jackets according to the imaging results until the image is clear.
