Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a TFDS laser source emission power detection device, specifically a TFDS laser power rapid display device. Background Technology
[0002] TFDS is short for Railway Freight Car Fault Trackside Image Detection System. Its main function is to perform dynamic image detection of the status of running freight cars, promptly detect faults in critical parts of the vehicles, prevent freight train accidents, and ensure railway transportation safety. The TFDS system requires the acquisition of graphic information of freight cars, which uses detection cameras. The TFDS laser light source is the light-emitting component of the detection camera, and it directly affects the operational safety and efficiency of freight trains.
[0003] Currently, there is no equipment to test the emission power of TFDS laser sources. TFDS laser sources are generally returned to the factory for maintenance on a regular basis, and it is only after maintenance that insufficient emission power of TFDS laser sources may be discovered. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can test the emission power of TFDS laser sources on-site. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problem that the emission power of TFDS laser sources cannot be measured on-site, this invention provides a TFDS laser power rapid display device.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a TFDS laser power rapid display device, comprising a housing, a circuit board, a thermopile sensor, an OLED display screen, a function and power button module, and a battery. The circuit board is equipped with a main control MCU, a power and energy conversion module, a charging and data serial port module, and an EEPROM module. The OLED display screen and the function and power button module are mounted and fixed on the housing. The thermopile sensor and the battery are fixedly installed inside the housing. The thermopile sensor, the OLED display screen, the function and power button module, the charging and data serial port module, and the EEPROM module are connected to the main control MCU. The battery and the power and energy conversion module supply power to the entire device. An optical fiber head is fixed on the housing, and the hot end of the thermopile sensor is in contact with the optical fiber head.
[0006] The TFDS laser source under test is connected to the fiber optic connector via an optical fiber. The laser emitted by the TFDS laser source is transmitted to the fiber optic connector and generates heat at the fiber optic connector. The thermopile sensor transmits the measured temperature at the fiber optic connector to the main control MCU. The main control MCU converts the temperature into power to complete the measurement of laser power.
[0007] The aforementioned TFDS laser power rapid display device also includes a thermocouple sensor. The thermocouple sensor is fixed inside the housing and connected to the main control MCU. The cold junction of the thermopile sensor is in contact with the thermocouple sensor. The thermocouple sensor is used to measure the temperature of the cold junction of the thermopile sensor for temperature compensation.
[0008] The thermocouple sensor transmits the measured temperature of the cold junction of the thermopile sensor to the main control MCU. The main control MCU compares the values measured by the thermopile sensor and the thermocouple sensor, and then converts the temperature difference into power.
[0009] In the aforementioned TFDS laser power rapid display device, the thermopile sensor is installed inside the housing using thermally conductive silicone grease, which can dissipate heat in time and prevent the thermopile sensor from overheating.
[0010] The aforementioned TFDS laser power display device uses double-sided tape to fix the battery to the circuit board, and a layer of foam is added between the battery and the outer casing to ensure that the battery does not move after the device is dropped from a height of 1 meter.
[0011] The aforementioned TFDS laser power display device also has silicone pads at the corners of the back of the outer casing.
[0012] The TFDS laser power rapid display device is mainly used for detecting the emission power of TFDS laser sources. It can be used in dynamic monitoring workshops, work teams, and TFDS detection stations. It can improve the detection coverage of the TFDS system and prevent failures in advance.

[0033] In use, the TFDS laser source to be tested is connected to fiber optic connector 6 via an optical fiber. After the device is powered on, testing begins. The TFDS laser source emits laser light, which is transmitted to fiber optic connector 6 and generates heat there.
