Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical technology, specifically a multi-source composite wavelength calibration light source. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for precise analysis in fields such as scientific research, environmental monitoring, and industrial production, the application scope of spectral analysis technology is becoming increasingly wide, and the demand for wavelength calibration light sources in various industries is also rising accordingly to ensure the accuracy and consistency of measurements.

[0003] Existing wavelength calibration light sources mainly rely on a single type of light source, such as mercury lamps, argon lamps, xenon lamps, zinc lamps, neon lamps, or krypton lamps. These light sources each have different spectral characteristics, but their wavelength ranges are relatively narrow. For example, zinc lamps have a wavelength range of 202.5-636.2 nm, neon lamps 237-966 nm, and the widely used mercury-argon lamp has a wavelength range of 253.6-1409.4 nm, with a relatively dispersed distribution of characteristic spectral lines. When calibrating high-resolution spectrometers and infrared spectrometers (1700-2500 nm), the characteristic spectral coverage and distribution do not meet the spectrometer's requirements. Calibrating a spectrometer in certain wavelength ranges may require using two or three wavelength calibration light sources. If multiple wavelength calibration light sources are used, frequent fiber optic connections to the desired light sources are necessary, a cumbersome process. Furthermore, the interfaces of wavelength calibration light sources are generally SAM905 fiber optic interfaces, which can only be connected to the spectrometer via fiber optic cable, making it impossible to calibrate a non-detachable spectrometer system (connected to the detector via fiber optic cable).

[0036] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a multi-source composite wavelength calibration light source, including a body 1. The body 1 contains a support base 2, a rotating base 3, multiple light sources 4, a circuit board 5, a light emission module 6, and a light source switching module 7. The support base 2 is fixedly installed inside the body 1. Specifically, the body 1 is divided into upper and lower cavities by a partition 11, and the support base 2 is fixedly mounted on the partition 11 by multiple columns 21. The rotating base 3 is rotatably mounted on the support base 2. Specifically, the rotating base 3 and the support base 2 are rotatably connected by a bearing 8. The rotating base 3 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 8, and the support base 2 is connected to the outer ring of the bearing 8, to achieve a smooth 360° rotation of the rotating base 3. The rotating base 3 has multiple light source fixing positions; the multiple light sources 4 are arranged at the light source fixing positions of the rotating base 3. The multiple light sources 4 can be used to emit light signals of different wavelengths to meet the wavelength calibration needs of spectrometers on the market.

The light source switching module 7 can be connected to the rotating seat 3 via a motor to automatically drive the rotation of the rotating seat 3, or it can be manually rotated.

[0037] This invention supports the expansion of various light sources, has a wide spectral range, and meets the wavelength calibration needs of spectrometers on the market; moreover, the fiber optic interface and spatial optical interface of this invention can be equipped with detectors or fiber optic spectrometers for measurement.

[0038] In one embodiment, one of the light source 4 and the circuit board 5 is provided with a stationary contact 43, and the other is provided with an elastic contact 51. The elastic contact 51 can be a conductive spring pin, a conductive spring sheet, or other structures. When the light source 4 is rotated to the position of the light-emitting module 6, the elastic contact 51 abuts against the stationary contact 43, thereby realizing the connection between the light source 4 and the circuit board 5. This ensures the reliability of the connection between the light source 4 and the circuit board 5 and avoids affecting the connection between the light source 4 and the circuit board 5 when the light source 4 is rotated.

[0039] The first method: a stationary contact is provided on the circuit board 5, and an elastic contact is provided at the bottom of each of the light sources 4. When the light source 4 is rotated to the position of the light-emitting module 6, the elastic contact of the light source 4 abuts against the stationary contact on the circuit board 5, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the light source 4 and the circuit board 5.

[0040] The second method: The circuit board 5 is provided with elastic contacts 51, and each of the light sources 4 is provided with a stationary contact 43 at its bottom. When the light source 4 is rotated to the position of the light-emitting module 6, the stationary contact 43 of the light source 4 abuts against the elastic contacts 51 on the circuit board 5, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the light source 4 and the circuit board 5.

[0041] In one embodiment, a light source driver 9 is also provided inside the body 1. The light source driver 9 is connected to the circuit board 5 and is used to provide a stable current or voltage to drive the light source 4 to work.

[0042] In one embodiment, the light source fixing position is an open slot 31 set on the outer periphery of the rotating seat 3. The light sources 4 of different wavelengths are fixedly installed in the open slot 31 in a detachable manner, which facilitates the replacement of the light sources 4, supports multiple element lamp combinations, and adapts to different application needs.

[0043] In one embodiment, the light source switching module 7 includes a light source switching lever 71. The two side walls of the opening slot 31 are provided with radially outwardly extending extensions 32 to form the light source switching lever 71. The body 1 is provided with lever slots 12 adapted to the light source switching lever 71. Preferably, two sets of lever slots 12 are provided opposite to each other.

[0044] In one embodiment, a positioning button 13 for fixing the light source 4 is movably provided on the body 1, and a positioning structure that cooperates with the positioning button 13 is provided on the light source 4 or the rotating base 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning structure can be a positioning hole 41 provided on the rotating base 3 or the light source 4, or a positioning base 42 with a positioning hole 41 provided on the rotating base 3 or the light source 4. The positioning button 13 is threaded or plugged into the body 1 so that the positioning button 13 can move radially along the rotating base 3. When the positioning button 13 is connected to the positioning structure on the light source 4 or the rotating base 3, the light source 4 and the rotating base 3 are fixed to prevent accidental switching of the light source 4; when the positioning button 13 leaves the positioning structure on the light source 4 or the rotating base 3, the rotating base 3 can rotate to achieve switching of the light source 4. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning button 13 is movably mounted on the machine body 1 via a connector 14. The connector 14 is threadedly connected to the machine body 1, and the positioning button 13 is plugged into the connector 14.

[0046] In one embodiment, the light source 4 includes an element lamp for providing spectral output at a specific wavelength.

[0047] In one embodiment, the elemental lamp includes, but is not limited to, one or more of xenon lamps, mercury lamps, argon lamps, neon lamps, krypton lamps, and zinc lamps.

[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating base 3 has 6 light source fixing positions, which can be expanded to accommodate up to 6 different wavelengths of light sources. For example, xenon lamps, mercury lamps, argon lamps, neon lamps, krypton lamps, and zinc lamps are respectively installed on the 6 light source fixing positions, and the spectral range can cover 200-2200nm, meeting the wavelength calibration requirements of spectrometers on the market.

[0049] Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described above are merely examples and not limitations. Various modifications, combinations, partial combinations, and substitutions can be made to the embodiments of this utility model according to design requirements and other factors, as long as they are within the scope of the appended claims or their equivalents, and thus fall within the scope of the rights to be protected by this utility model.
