Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic components technology, specifically relating to a device for measuring the two-dimensional magnetic induction intensity on the axial plane of a Helmholtz coil. Background Technology
[0002] A Helmholtz coil is a specially designed electromagnetic coil capable of generating a relatively uniform magnetic field within a specific spatial region. This coil consists of two parallel, coaxial circular coils with current flowing in the same direction and of equal magnitude. When the distance between these two coils is equal to their radii, they work together to produce a uniform magnetic field along their axis.
[0003] Experiments measuring the magnetic field of a Helmholtz coil typically use a Hall sensor to measure the magnetic field along the one-dimensional axis of the coil, utilizing the Hall effect. However, this approach lacks a direct visual understanding of the spatial magnetic field generated by the coil, presenting significant limitations. Measuring the three-dimensional magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil requires considering all three dimensions, and determining the spatial coordinates and the magnitude and direction of the magnetic induction intensity is challenging, easily leading to substantial measurement errors. Furthermore, the equipment required is more complex and costly. In contrast, the magnetic field of a Helmholtz coil exhibits axisymmetric distribution characteristics. Therefore, measuring the two-dimensional magnetic field in a quarter-axis plane of the coil can reflect the magnetic field distribution across the entire axis, while being less difficult and less costly.
[0004] To overcome the limitations of traditional devices, directly measuring the three-dimensional magnetic field in space presents significant challenges for experimental instrumentation and design. Due to the spatial symmetry of the Helmholtz coil's magnetic field, measuring a quarter of the magnetic field can simulate the coil's spatial magnetic field. Literature review revealed that the magnetic field components on each cross-section of the Helmholtz coil are identical, and one of the three magnetic flux density components on each cross-section is zero. Therefore, measuring only two magnetic flux density components on a single cross-section is sufficient to reflect the overall magnetic flux density distribution of the Helmholtz coil in space. Thus, a stepper motor-guided circuit is needed to precisely move the two-dimensional Hall probe along the X and Z axes. By controlling the movement of the two-dimensional Hall probe in a two-dimensional plane, planar magnetic field measurement can be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0047] This invention discloses a device for measuring the two-dimensional magnetic induction intensity on the axial plane of a Helmholtz coil. When acquiring voltage data, the device can be connected to a personal computer for data recording and processing. Users need to be familiar with analyzing the spatial magnetic field generated by the Helmholtz coil 1 based on the Biot-Saffar law and performing magnetic field simulation using MATLAB. The user will master the principle and method of measuring the two-dimensional axial plane magnetic field of the Helmholtz coil 1 using a two-dimensional Hall probe 2 assembled from two linear Hall sensors. The user will understand how to use a microcontroller to control the movement of the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 and acquire the output voltage. Furthermore, the user will use a self-designed Hall probe and its supporting experimental setup, and perform instrument error analysis. Magnetic field simulation will be performed using Mathematica and MATLAB.

[0048] Figure 6A schematic diagram of the Hall effect magnetic field measurement; a Hall element sheet is placed vertically in magnetic field B, and the charge carriers in the Hall element are in the operating current. Driven by the current, these carriers will undergo directional motion. When exposed to a magnetic field, these moving carriers will experience a Lorentz force perpendicular to both the operating current and the magnetic field. The effect of the Lorentz force is that charge carriers move laterally, and the upper and lower plates of the Hall element begin to charge and accumulate charge. One plate accumulates positive charge, and the other plate accumulates negative charge, thus generating an electric field between the plates. This electric field exerts an electric force on the charge carriers in the opposite direction to the Lorentz force. When the electric force and the Lorentz force are equal in magnitude When the net force on the charge carriers is zero, the potential difference between the two plates reaches a stable value, which is called the Hall voltage U. The Hall voltage is perpendicular to the operating current. The direction of the magnetic field B can be represented as:
[0049]
[0050] Where n is the carrier concentration, q is the charge of a single carrier, and b is the thickness of the Hall element. Hall sensitivity is defined. = Then the Hall voltage is:
[0051]
[0052] in The Hall sensitivity is related to the geometric dimensions, carrier concentration, and other material properties of the Hall element. When the Hall element material is constant, Since it is a definite constant, the Hall voltage is proportional to the operating current. And the magnetic flux density B. In fact, the Hall voltage also varies with the angle of the magnetic flux density B, reaching its maximum value when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the Hall element. The advantage of using a Hall element to measure magnetic fields is that, given the Hall element and operating current, theoretically the output Hall voltage depends only on the spatial magnetic flux density and is independent of the frequency.
[0053] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a single current-carrying coil measurement principle. The Biot-Saffar law is the equation describing the magnetic field generated by a constant current, relating the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and distance of the current. The magnetic field distribution of a single current-carrying circular coil in space is derived using the Biot-Saffar law and vector cross product, and then extended to the magnetic field distribution of a Helmholtz coil 1 in space. Let the distance from a point P in space to the central axis z of the current-carrying circular coil be r, and the distance o from the projection point of P on the z-axis be z. As shown in the figure, based on geometric relationships, we can obtain:
[0054] =(r-Rcos ) - Rsin +z
[0055] =Rd (cos -sin )
[0056] thus
[0057] d ×r′=Rd [zcos +zsin +(R -rcos ) ]
[0058] According to the Biot-Safar law:
[0059]
[0060] And by performing diagonal integration, we get:
[0061]
[0062]
[0063]
[0064] As can be seen from the spatial magnetic field measurement method of current-carrying circular coil, it is only necessary to measure the radius R of the current-carrying circular coil, the distance r from point P to the center of the coil, and the angle. Then the magnitude of its magnetic field can be calculated.
[0065] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of measuring the spatial magnetic field of a Helmholtz coil. To measure the spatial magnetic field of Helmholtz coil 1, this experiment utilizes a two-dimensional Hall sensor to measure the components of the magnetic field of Helmholtz coil 1 along the x and z axes, and integrates these measurements to obtain the spatial magnetic field. The measurement of the spatial magnetic field of Helmholtz coil 1 is shown below. Figure 8 As shown. Among them and These are the axial distances from point P to the first and second coils, respectively, and r is the distance from point P to point O.

[0086] According to the parity analysis of functions, we can obtain... =0, meaning the magnetic field distribution of the current-carrying circular coil in the axial plane is only distributed along the axial (z-direction) and radial directions. Therefore, we decided to use a self-assembled two-dimensional Hall probe 2 to measure the two-dimensional axial plane magnetic field of the Helmholtz coil 1. and The components are used to calculate the magnetic flux density and direction in the two-dimensional axial plane space.
[0087] The present invention discloses a device for measuring the two-dimensional magnetic induction intensity on the axial plane of a Helmholtz coil. Taking the center of the magnetic field of the Helmholtz coil 1 as the origin, the device records the voltage value of the Hall sensor and calculates the magnetic induction intensity of the axis and axial plane of the Helmholtz coil 1 using the above formula.
[0088] The high-precision voltage acquisition module 10 includes: an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit 11, an MCU circuit 12, a high-precision voltage source 13, and a 4th-order RC low-pass filter 14. After the basic peripheral circuits of the MCU circuit 12 and the ADC circuit 11 are completed, SPI communication is implemented. The reference voltage circuit in the ADC circuit 11 is connected to the corresponding positive reference voltage input pin VREFP of the ADC 16. Each chip is powered by several independent voltage sources, which can accept 6-16V power. Low-frequency filters are respectively set at the analog signal input and power supply terminals of the ADC 16. The data interface is connected to the MCU circuit 12 for convenient debugging and other communication needs. The ADC 16 is an ADS1256 ADC.
[0089] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC circuit 11 is an electronic device that converts analog signals into digital signals; its schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 9 As shown. Its core principle is based on the sampling theorem, which states that analog signals are sampled at equal intervals within a certain time period, and the sampling frequency is kept higher than twice the highest frequency of the signal to avoid aliasing. During the sampling process, the converter converts the continuous analog signal into discrete sample points. Subsequently, the quantization process maps these sample points to a finite number of values, each value representing a specific voltage range. Finally, the encoding process converts the quantized values into digital codes. The analog-to-digital converter used in this experiment is a hexadecimal 16, which resolves the 0-5.25V voltage signal into 2^24, achieving a sampling accuracy of 0.149uV, i.e., an error within 0.001%, and converts the first eight bits of the analog signal into numbers from 0 to 80000000.

A stepper motor guide rail movement circuit is a device for precisely controlling the position of mechanical components. Its working principle is based on the stepping characteristics of a stepper motor. The stepper motor controls its internal electromagnetic coil by receiving pulse signals. Each pulse signal causes the motor to rotate by a fixed angle, called the step angle. By precisely controlling the number and frequency of pulses, the rotation angle and speed of the motor can be precisely controlled, thereby controlling the movement speed and time of the slider. In this experiment, the stepper motor guide rail movement circuit system consists of a stepper motor guide rail (6), a stepper motor driver (7), a 24V power supply (8), and an STM32 guide rail control circuit (9). The stepper motor guide rail (6) provides a stable linear motion path, ensuring smooth and controllable movement. In this experiment, an STM32F103C8T6 chip (17) sends pulse signals to the ENA+, DIR+, and PUL+ terminals of a stepper motor driver (7). After the stepper motor driver (7) is set up, the stepper motor rotates one revolution every 3200 pulses, and each pulse advances the slide rail by 0.0025mm. An independent button is designed to control the direction and number of movements of the stepper motor to achieve accurate measurement. The stepper motor driver (7) is a TB6600 stepper motor driver. The stepper motor guide rail movement circuit is as follows: Figure 11 As shown.

To ensure the SS495A Hall sensor operates at a stable 5V voltage and minimize errors caused by sensor operating conditions, this experiment independently designed and soldered a high-precision voltage source 13. This voltage source uses the ISL21009BFB850Z voltage reference chip as the main controller, and incorporates a filter circuit and an input voltage detection circuit to ensure the voltage source operates properly.

This invention also exhibits high scalability, enabling the measurement of magnetic fields from coils with varying spacing.
[0126] The experimental steps of the two-dimensional magnetic induction intensity component measuring device in the axial plane of a Helmholtz coil disclosed in this utility model are as follows:
[0127] (1) Use Mathematica and MATLAB to perform simulation to verify whether the experimental scheme is correct.
[0128] (2) Calibrate the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 to eliminate the influence of the geomagnetic field.
[0129] (3) Turn on the DM-A2 digital ammeter 5 and the HLZ solenoid magnetic field experiment instrument 4, measure the output voltage at the starting measurement point, and record it.
[0130] (4) Press the MCU processor self-reset button 9 to move the stepper motor guide rails 6 on the X and Z axes respectively, thereby driving the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 to move on the 1 / 2 axis of the Helmholtz coil 1, collecting the voltage magnitude at this time, converting it into magnetic induction intensity and recording it in the table; drive the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 to move in the 1 / 4 axis plane, collect the voltage magnitude at this time, convert it into magnetic induction intensity and record it in the table.
[0131] (5) Repeat the above steps, change the coil spacing to 2R, and measure the magnetic induction intensity of 1 / 2 axis and 1 / 4 plane when the coil spacing is 2R.
[0132] (6) After recording, use MATLAB to fit the theoretical values of the data. Compare the experimental values with the theoretical values to obtain the experimental error.
[0133] This experimental setup has two main functions:
[0134] (1) Measure the magnetic induction intensity of the coil at 1 / 2 axis or 1 / 4 axis plane.
[0135] (2) By changing the coil spacing, the difference in magnetic induction intensity of the coil axis plane with different spacing can be compared.
[0136] The improvement of this utility model is as follows:
[0137] (1) Design of a two-dimensional Hall probe 2 for measuring two-dimensional magnetic fields: This experiment fully utilizes the symmetrical distribution characteristics of the magnetic field of the Helmholtz coil 1 and designs a two-dimensional Hall probe 2 using two linear Hall sensors. The magnetic field distribution of the axial plane is reflected by measuring the magnetic field of 1 / 4 of the two-dimensional axial plane. Furthermore, by measuring the magnetic induction intensity of the coils in the 1 / 4 axial plane with a 2R spacing, it is reflected that the spacing of the coils has a direct impact on the magnetic induction intensity. This is well-suited for use as teaching content in university physics experiments.
[0138] (2) Simulation and error analysis using software: MATLAB and Mathematica were used to simulate the magnetic fields generated by Helmholtz coil 1 and the two coils with a distance of 2R between them, respectively. The theoretical values obtained by MATLAB were compared with the measured values to perform error analysis. The coefficients of determination R² between the theoretical and measured values of the magnetic field along the 1 / 2 axis and the magnetic field along the 1 / 4 two-dimensional axis were found to be greater than 0.985 and 0.995, respectively, indicating that the theoretical and measured values have a very high degree of agreement.
[0139] (3) Effectively reduce measurement error: The output voltage of the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 is acquired by the high-precision voltage acquisition module 10; the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 is powered by the high-precision voltage source 13, which reduces the error caused by power supply aging or other reasons; the two-dimensional Hall probe 2 is moved by the stepper motor guide rail moving circuit, which significantly reduces the error caused by human operation and mechanical device return; the high-precision voltage acquisition module 10 integrates automatic calibration of geomagnetic field function, algorithm filtering function and noise filtering function, which effectively reduces measurement error.
[0140] (4) 3D printing improves the scalability of the experiment: The self-designed model and then the 3D printed coil skeleton and base can realize the adjustable distance between the two coils of 0.5R, R, 1.5R, 2R, 2.5R or 3R, which improves the scalability of the experiment; 3D printed two-dimensional Hall probe mounting base 3 improves the self-controllability of the experiment.

Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed in this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
