Description

Turbidity light source detection device Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water quality detection equipment, in particular to a turbidity light source detection device capable of improving product identity, improving accuracy and detecting specific damaged parts of a photocell. Background Art

[0002] Turbidity refers to the degree of obstruction to the passage of light through a solution. It includes light scattering by suspended matter and absorption by solute molecules. Water turbidity is related not only to the content of suspended matter in the water, but also to its size, shape, and refractive index. Turbidity refers to the degree of cloudiness in water, an optical effect caused by the presence of suspended matter (including colloids). It is expressed in NTUs (units of unit). Turbidity is one of the key visual indicators of water contamination. The standard unit of turbidity is 1 degree of turbidity, defined as 1 mg of SiO2. Turbidity refers to the degree of obstruction to light transmission caused by suspended matter in water, often referred to as clarity. Generally, the higher the turbidity, the more turbid the solution. According to the national standard GB5749-2006, "Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water," the limit for total dissolved solids (TDS) in tap water is ≤3 degrees. Suspended matter and colloids such as mud, silt, fine organic matter, inorganic matter, plankton, etc. in water can make the water turbid and present a certain turbidity.

[0003] The 90-degree scattering method is a commonly used method for measuring solution turbidity. It is based on the scattering phenomenon described by the Lorentz-Boltzmann equation. This method uses a photometer or photometer to measure the intensity of light passing through the sample and the intensity of light scattered by the sample at a 90-degree angle. The turbidity of the sample is calculated based on the measured values. The scattering theorem used in this method is the Beer-Lambert Law. This theorem states that for a uniformly radiated plane wave, the electro-optical response per unit length decreases exponentially with the optical path length, a principle known as the classic Beer-Lambert Law. In other words, light directed toward particles suspended in a solution undergoes multiple scattering, with some light being scattered at 90-degree angles. Using this method, the measuring instrument measures the ratio of the intensity of light scattered at a 90-degree angle by the solid particles in the suspension to the intensity of the light that passed through the sample without being scattered. As the concentration of particles in the suspension increases, the intensity of the scattered light also increases, and the ratio increases accordingly. Therefore, the magnitude of this ratio is directly proportional to the number of particles in the suspension. In practice, a light source is introduced perpendicularly into the sample, and the sample is placed at a 90-degree scattering angle. A photometer or photometer is used to measure the intensity of the light directly measured without passing through the sample, as well as the intensity of the 90-degree scattered light generated by the sample. Combined with colorimetric calculation or photometry, the turbidity of the sample can be determined. This method is highly accurate and widely used for turbidity measurement in water, sewage, food, medicine, and environmental fields.

[0004] A photocell for making a turbidity light source is provided with a fixed card block, a light emitter, a first circuit board, a first waterproof light-transmitting plate, a second circuit board, a light receiver, and a second waterproof light-transmitting plate in the photocell block of the photocell. Position errors are inevitable at the connection points, which makes it impossible for the light emitter and the light receiver to intersect in space, and ultimately weakens the intensity of the light signal, resulting in a large error, which seriously affects the accuracy of turbidity detection. The deviation in light signal intensity of photocells in the same batch reduces the identity, which is not conducive to product quality. When a photocell is damaged, it is not possible to confirm which of the light emitter and the light receiver is damaged. It is also necessary to detect whether the light emitter and the light receiver are normal and quickly find the damaged parts. There is a need for a turbidity light source detection device that improves product identity, improves accuracy, and detects specific damaged parts of photocells.
