[0018] The shutter 22 can be directly connected with other spectrum measuring instruments, and is not limited to the combination of the optical fiber 23 and the spectrometer.

[0020] The water inlet pipe 41 is connected with a filter 411, the filter 411 is located between the check valve 42 and the water inlet pump 43, and the filter 411 filters out larger impurities, so that the water inlet pipe 41 is prevented from being blocked.

[0021] The water drainage assembly 5 comprises a first water drainage pipe 51, a second water drainage pipe 52, a third water drainage pipe 53, a fourth water drainage pipe 54, a main water drainage pipe 55, a first electromagnetic valve 56, a second electromagnetic valve 57, a third electromagnetic valve 58 and a liquid sensor 59, the first water drainage pipe 51 is connected with the first water drainage hole, the second water drainage pipe 52 is connected with the second water drainage hole, the third water drainage pipe 53 is connected with the third water drainage hole, the fourth water drainage pipe 54 is connected with the fourth water drainage hole, one end of the first water drainage pipe 51, the second water drainage pipe 52, the third water drainage pipe 53 and the fourth water drainage pipe 54 is connected with the main water drainage pipe 55, the first electromagnetic valve 56 is connected with the first water drainage pipe 51, the second electromagnetic valve 57 is connected with the second water drainage pipe 52, the third electromagnetic valve 58 is connected with the third water drainage pipe 53, and the liquid sensor 59 is connected with the main water drainage pipe 55.

[0022] The side wall of the upper communicating box 2 is provided with a gas permeable hole, and a waterproof gas permeable valve 24 is connected to the gas permeable hole. When the liquid enters the measuring tube 1, the air in the measuring tube 1 can be discharged from the waterproof gas permeable valve 24 and the fourth drain pipe 54 to balance the air pressure inside and outside the measuring tube 1 and reduce the resistance when pumping the liquid.

[0023] The single vertically placed measuring tube 1 is used as a liquid container, which can avoid the spectrum signal fluctuation and unstable liquid level caused by the reciprocating flow of liquid in different pipelines. The measuring tube 1 is provided with a drain hole at the measuring liquid level, and the water level at the measuring liquid level is controlled by a plurality of drain pipes and electromagnetic valves to ensure that the water level height can be accurately at the measuring liquid level. The measuring liquid level is controlled through the solidified mechanical structure design to realize the high accuracy and high repeatability of the optical path control, thereby improving the control accuracy of the liquid extinction coefficient measurement and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the liquid extinction coefficient measurement result.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The implementation principle of the liquid level automatic control device for liquid extinction coefficient measurement according to the embodiment of the application is as follows:

[0025] S1, when no liquid is pumped into the measuring tube 1 (which can be considered as being at a reference liquid level H0), the light source 32 and the shutter 22 are opened, and the reference spectrum signal I0 is collected by the spectrometer. After the end, the next step is entered;

[0026] S2, according to the preset measuring liquid level Hm (middle measuring liquid level), the corresponding third electromagnetic valve 58 is opened (if the preset measuring liquid level is the highest measuring liquid level, i.e. Hm = Hmax, the electromagnetic valve does not need to be opened), and the rest of the electromagnetic valves are in the default closed state. The water inlet pump 43 is opened to make the liquid to be measured enter the lower communicating box 3 and the measuring tube 1 after passing through the filter 411 and the check valve 42. As the liquid level in the measuring tube 1 continues to rise, the air above the liquid level is discharged through the waterproof gas permeable valve 24 and the fourth drain pipe 54;

[0027] S3, when the liquid level reaches the preset measuring liquid level Hm, further pumping of the liquid by the water inlet pump 43 will cause excess liquid to overflow from the third drain hole, and then be discharged through the main drain pipe 55. At this time, the liquid sensor 59 senses the overflow of the liquid, triggers the water inlet pump 43 to stop working, and until the liquid sensor 59 detects that there is no liquid in the main drain pipe 55 (which indicates that the liquid level has stabilized at Hm), the transmission spectrum signal Im of the light after passing through the liquid to be measured with a height of Hm-H0 can be measured.

[0028] S4, judging whether Im is in the system optimal working interval [Imin, Imax], i.e. Imin≤Im≤Imax, if Im<Imin, it indicates that the liquid transparency is lower, the measuring liquid level Hm needs to be adjusted to a lower level Hm-1 and S2-S4 is re-executed, if Im>Imax, it indicates that the liquid transparency is too high or the light source 32 is too bright, the measuring liquid level Hm needs to be adjusted to a higher level Hm+1 and S2-S4 is re-executed, until Im is in the system optimal working interval [Imin, Imax];

[0029] S5, after the above measurement, the light source 32 is turned off, all electromagnetic valves are opened to discharge the liquid in the pipeline (at this time, external air enters the inside of the measuring pipe 1 from the waterproof air valve 24 to balance the air pressure inside and outside the pipeline), after the liquid sensor 59 cannot detect the liquid in the main drain pipe 55, all electromagnetic valves are closed, the measurement is completed, the collected I0, Im data and liquid level data H0, Hm can be used to calculate the extinction coefficient of the liquid to be measured with a thickness of Hm-H0: α=[-ln(Im / I0)] / (Hm-H0).

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above examples, any technical solutions under the idea of the present application belong to the protection scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, some improvements and decorations, these improvements and decorations should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
