This invention discloses a near-
infrared sugar detection device and method based on a
filter wheel, belonging to the field of
sugar component detection equipment. The device includes: a
broadband near-
infrared light source, a filter switching mechanism, a sample
cell, a photoelectric detection unit, a
signal processing unit, a control and calculation unit, and a display module. The filter switching mechanism includes a
filter wheel and a driving mechanism. The
filter wheel is equipped with a narrow-band filter, a baseline filter, and a filterless window. During detection,
light source drift correction is first performed through the filterless window, followed by empty
cell calibration using air as the medium to obtain reference light intensities for each
wavelength. After adding the
sugar solution to be tested, the background
absorption of water is measured through the baseline filter, and the water
absorption ratio is used for conversion and subtraction. Finally, characteristic
wavelength signals are acquired through the narrow-band filter, and a
system of
simultaneous equations is solved to obtain the concentration of each sugar. This invention is low-cost, small in size, and can achieve rapid differentiation and concentration detection of multiple sugars.
