The present invention provides a near-
infrared moisture meter based on three LED lamps, wherein a
photodiode detector is located at the focus of a plano-concave focusing lens and is placed on one side of an object to be measured and forms an
acute angle with a vertical line. The three LED lamps are arranged in an equilateral triangle and are located behind a biconvex focusing lens, the center of the equilateral triangle is located on the central
optical axis of the biconvex focusing lens, one of the three LED lamps is a measuring
light source, and the other two are reference light sources. The wavelengths of all the light sources are different, and the light sources as a whole are located on the other side of the object to be measured and are symmetrical with the
photodiode detector about the vertical line. A host computer controls a
driving circuit to output three control signals with the same frequency, the same
duty cycle, a
phase difference of 120 degrees, and real-time adjustable phase amplitude to respectively control the three LEDs to light up alternately. The three LED lamps respectively emit light that passes through the biconvex focusing lens and is incident on the object to be measured. After
diffuse reflection by the object to be measured, the light is converged by the plano-concave focusing lens and is then irradiated on the
photodiode detector. The output end of the photodiode detector is connected to the input end of a
preamplifier circuit, and the output end of the
preamplifier circuit is connected to the host computer. The three LED lamps of the present invention are irradiated after being expanded and focused, and the emitted light rays are approximately combined into a
parallel beam, so that the
light source detection surfaces basically overlap, the
light spot coverage range is large, and the measurement accuracy is high. The three-way LED lamps compensate each other through two sets of comparison results of one beam of measurement light and two beams of reference light, which can effectively eliminate the influence of uncontrollable factors such as
color difference and particle
size difference.
