The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of novel liquid measuring apparatus for solidification point, this device can accurately be measured the solidifying point of liquid, and can improve finding speed, reduces labor intensity.
Principle of the present invention is that fluid to be measured is placed in the container that light transmissive material makes, when measuring the fluid to be measured temperature variation, measure the situation of change of the light intensity that sees through fluid to be measured, determine the solidifying point of fluid to be measured according to the change amount of the measure light intensity that sees through fluid to be measured.
Device of the present invention is to be provided with container and the temperature survey sensing element that holds fluid to be measured in cold-trap, used temperature measurement system is identical with prior art, described container is made by light transmissive material, be provided with light source and being used to and accept to send the mensuration system that the light activated element of the light by the liquid in described container and the container is formed by light source outside described container, described light activated element and outside display circuit are coupled.
Container in the device of the present invention can be a test tube or one section pipeline, or its two ends are provided with the pipeline of valve, or wherein has the test tube of the spherical part of outside protrusion, or its two ends are provided with the pipeline that valve wherein has outside protrusion spherical part.In described container, can be provided with temperature element.Light source of the present invention is infrarede emitting diode preferably, and described light activated element is for accepting the light activated element of infrared light.
Principle of the present invention and device build on the following experiment basis: liquid its transmittance in cooling procedure will change, and obvious variation will take place the change rate of its transmittance when liquid is crossed cold generation phase transformation.Method of the present invention be by measure liquid in phase transition process in the change of certain physical quantity realize measuring the purpose of liquid solidifying point, this is different from prior art (prior art only is to measure by the The apparent phenomenon of observing the change of liquid flow or disturbance situation) fully.Because the present invention does not influence the process of setting of liquid in mensuration, also, can reflect the temperature of measured object truly owing in the container of placing fluid to be measured, be provided with temperature element in the present invention, therefore mensuration precision of the present invention is higher than prior art far away.The present invention can also alleviate the mensuration working strength greatly in addition, raises the efficiency, and can realize on-line determination or automatic mensuration.
The present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows:
The ultimate principle of device of the present invention is seen Fig. 1, and wherein (1) is chiller, and the effect by (1) makes cold-trap (4) cooling.In cold-trap (4), establish the container (2) and the temperature-sensing element (3) that hold fluid to be measured, wherein container (2) is made by light transmissive material, difform container constitutes different embodiments of the invention, for example it can be a test tube, it also can be one section pipeline, or one section its two ends are provided with the pipeline of valve, its xsect can be a rectangle, also can be circular, test tube or its two ends that container of the present invention (2) is preferably the spherical part that wherein has outside protrusion be provided with the pipeline that valve wherein has outside protrusion spherical part.Outside container (2), be provided with light source (8) and be used to accept send and see through the light activated element (9) of the light of container and liquid in container by light source, (5) are computer data processing system among Fig. 1, (6) be display circuit, after the measured signal of light activated element (9) is sent into to computer data processing system (5) processing, send into the related parameter that has that display circuit (6) can demonstrate measured transmittance again.(6) among Fig. 1, it can be by single-chip microcomputer, also can be data processing and the display system that is made of microcomputer and printer.(7) among Fig. 1 are multiple power supplies, are used for providing power supply to whole device.Also can directly send into display circuit (6) through the measured signal of light activated element (9) among the present invention and demonstrate measured parameter.
Fig. 2 provides one embodiment of the present of invention, and wherein (11) are cold-traps.Be equipped with one section conduct and hold fluid to be measured in cold-trap (11), its two ends have the transparent glass tube (14) of valve (12) and (13) and the measuring system of being made up of light emitting diode (15), phototransistor (16).Glass tube (14) is built-in with unshowned temperature element in Fig. 2.E is a power supply among Fig. 2, and resistance that links to each other with light emitting diode (15) and the resistance that links to each other with phototransistor (16) and microampere meter (17) constitute the display circuit of measurement parameter.Intercept fluid to be measured in glass tube (14) by opening/shutting valve (12) and (13) during the present embodiment actual measurement, and make cold-trap (11) begin cooling by starting chiller, to the measuring system power supply, the light of light emitting diode (15) emission is received by phototransistor (16) after the fluid to be measured transmission simultaneously.Decline with condenser temperature, liquid in the pipe (14) turns cold gradually and begins and solidifies, this moment, the transmittance of liquid also changed, the received light signal of phototransistor (16) also changes thereupon, measured parameter shows by microampere meter (17), the data that microampere meter (17) is shown and through the temperature data that temperature element records retouch in get final product on the coordinate paper descend with temperature funtcional relationship between its transmittance and temperature of fluid to be measured, and can obtain its solidifying point accurately.
Fig. 3 is the electrical principle synoptic diagram of an alternative embodiment of the invention, the measured signal of phototransistor wherein (20), and the measured signal of temperature measuring circuit (23) is coupled with the input system of microcomputer (22) by amplifier (24), (25) and analog to digital conversion circuit (26), (27), by microcomputer (22) measured data are carried out computing and demonstration, and can print measured result by peripheral hardware printer (28).
Fig. 4 is a kind of embodiment that contains the container of tested sample among the present invention, it is the structure that is provided with the spherical part that has outside protrusion in Fig. 4 in the middle of the pipeline [annotate: valve does not draw] that is provided with valve at one section its two ends, the mensuration system that is made of light source and light activated element in device should place the spherical portion office of outside protrusion, this structure is because spherical evagination part can produce the focussing force of light, can improve the measurement sensitivity of device, relevant experimental result all shows this point.
Light source among the present invention is when adopting infrared light supply, and the light activated element that is adopted can have best mensuration effect for the light activated element that can accept infrared light.
Adopt the device of Fig. 2, container wherein is a structure shown in Figure 4, and used light source is an infrared light supply, and 14# diesel oil and 6# lubricating oil are surveyed, and gained is measured curve referring to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.
The transmittance of tested oil product descended with temperature when temperature was 8~4 ℃ as seen from Figure 5 more significantly change, and the solidifying point that this oil product is measured with prior art is 5 ℃.
Be lower than-4 when spending when temperature as seen from Figure 6, the transmittance of tested oil product descends to having more significantly with temperature and changes, and the solidifying point that this oil product is measured with prior art is-11 ℃.
When measuring other oil product, organic solution etc. and descend with temperature with the present invention there be and the same or analogous result of Fig. 5, Fig. 6 the variation of its transmittance.
