Detailed Description
The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the examples to enable one skilled in the art to practice the same and to refer to the same.
The scheme provides two technical schemes about the magnetoelastic sensor. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a magneto-elastic sensor for measuring blood viscoelasticity according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which comprises: a magnetic cup 10; a bobbin 102; a coil 103; a permanent magnet 104; a magnetostrictive material strip 101; a probe adapter 30; a disposable probe 40; end cap 50, and base 20.
The magnetic cup 10 is in a cylindrical shape and is in a hollow structure, an annular coil framework 102 and a permanent magnet 104 are coaxially arranged in the magnetic cup, the permanent magnet 104 is arranged on the outer side of the coil framework 102, a coil 103 is wound on the outer surface of the coil framework 102, when alternating current passes through the coil 103, an alternating magnetic field is generated inside the coil 103, the magnetostrictive material strip 101 is arranged at the central position of the magnetic cup 10 and is just positioned in the alternating magnetic field, the magnetostrictive material strip 101 generates axial telescopic vibration, the alternating magnetic field generated by the coil 103 can enable the magnetostrictive material strip 101 to vibrate at the frequency of 2 times of the alternating magnetic field according to the magnetic field-strain relation of the magnetostrictive material, and the frequency doubling effect can lead to low magnetic energy-mechanical energy conversion efficiency, reduce corresponding strain and influence measurement accuracy. The permanent magnet 104 generates a fixed bias magnetic field to make the magnetostrictive material strip 101 in a polarized state, when the bias magnetic field strength is set reasonably, the frequency doubling effect can be avoided, the telescopic vibration of the magnetostrictive material strip 101 and the applied alternating current are the same frequency, the magnetic energy-mechanical energy conversion efficiency can be improved, and a larger linear corresponding signal can be obtained. The permanent magnet 104 and the coil framework 102 are fixed in the magnetic cup 10 through one end cover 50, the end cover 50 and the magnetic cup 10 are provided with limiting grooves, and the coil framework and the permanent magnet are arranged in the corresponding limiting grooves.
A probe adapter 30 is arranged at the lower end of the magnetostrictive material strip 101, a groove is formed at one end of the probe adapter 30, which is contacted with the magnetostrictive material strip 101, the magnetostrictive material strip 101 is clamped in the groove to realize the fixed connection with the probe adapter 30, and the magnetostrictive material strip 101 can also realize the fixed connection with the probe adapter 30 through gluing. The other end of the probe adapter 30 is provided with a blind hole, the disposable probe 40 is clamped in the blind hole, the fixed connection with the probe adapter 30 is realized, a chamfer 302 is arranged at the opening of the blind hole, and the blind hole plays a certain guiding role when the disposable probe 40 is arranged. The magnetostrictive material strip 101 can drive the probe adapter 30 and the disposable probe 40 to axially move when axially vibrating in the gradient magnetic field.
The lower end of the sensor is further provided with a base 20, the base 20 and the magnetic cup 10 are fixedly connected through interference fit or screw locking, a containing cavity 60 is formed between the base 20 and the end cover 50, a circle of protrusions 301 are arranged at the middle section of the probe adapter 30, the protrusions 301 are arranged in the containing cavity 60, the protrusions 301 do not contact with the end cover 50 and the base 20 in the axial direction, through holes are formed in the base 20 and the end cover 50, the probe adapter 30 passes through the through holes, the diameter of the through holes is slightly larger than that of the probe adapter 30, the probe adapter 30 is not contacted with the end cover 50 and the base 20 in the radial direction, and the probe adapter 30 is suspended by the magnetostrictive material strip 101, so that when the magnetostrictive material strip 101 drives the probe adapter 30 to move, the base 20 and the end cover 50 do not interfere with the movement of the probe adapter 30, and meanwhile the base 20 and the end cover 50 also have mechanical limiting effects on the probe adapter 30 in the axial direction and the radial direction.
When the viscoelastic force measurement is carried out, the disposable probe is immersed into liquid or colloid to be measured, the object to be measured can directly influence the movement of the disposable probe, thereby indirectly influencing the resonance state of the magnetostrictive material strip, and the change of the viscoelastic force of the object to be measured can be obtained by measuring the related parameters.
The principle of detecting the viscoelastic force by using the magneto-elastic sensor is as follows: in an alternating magnetic field, the magnetostrictive material forms longitudinal periodic stretching vibration, and the resonance frequency and amplitude of the material are easily influenced by the surrounding environment. The core of the magnetostrictive sensor detection is to detect a change in the resonant state of the magnetostrictive material strip. The measurement of the magnetoelastic sensor adopts a frequency domain detection method based on impedance response from the point of signal detection. The impedance method relies on detecting the impedance change of the coil to realize resonance state detection, wherein a sweep frequency excitation signal is applied to the coil during detection, and then the voltage amplitude and the phase at two ends of the coil are detected to calculate the impedance of the coil. When the magnetostrictive material strip resonates, the real part of the impedance reaches a maximum. When the viscoelastic force measurement is carried out, the disposable probe is immersed into liquid or colloid to be measured, and the viscoelastic force of the object to be measured changes the resonance state of the magnetostrictive material strip: the elasticity of the object to be measured influences the resonance frequency; viscosity affects impedance magnitude. Therefore, the change of the viscoelasticity of the object to be detected can be characterized by detecting the resonance frequency and the change of the impedance amplitude during resonance.
The magneto-elastic sensor provided by the invention adopts the magnetostrictive material as the sensitive element, the response time of the magnetostrictive material for generating the magnetostrictive effect is short, and the sensitivity of the magneto-elastic sensor is high; the sensitive element is not in direct contact with the object to be measured, so that non-contact measurement is realized; the elasticity of the object to be measured influences the resonance frequency, the viscosity influences the impedance amplitude, and the change of the elasticity of the object to be measured can be represented by detecting the resonance frequency and the impedance amplitude during resonance, so that the low-cost measurement is realized; the probe is replaced once every detection, so that the probe does not need to be used for multiple times, and cross infection is avoided.

Compared with the former technical scheme, the permanent magnet in the first technical scheme is not needed, the bias magnetic field provided by the permanent magnet is realized by superposing a constant bias direct current on the basis of alternating current applied in the coil, and the structure, the position and the function of other components in the second technical scheme are the same as those in the first technical scheme. Compared with the first technical scheme, the magnitude of the bias magnetic field in the second technical scheme can be adjusted and controlled according to constant bias current, and the magnitude of the bias magnetic field is easier to control.
