Description

Mixing acoustic solid-liquid two-phase flow particle concentration and particle size distribution detection system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a mixed acoustic solid-liquid two-phase flow particle concentration and particle size distribution detection system and method.
Background
Solid-liquid two-phase flow is a common phenomenon in nature, and typically includes streams, rivers, pipeline fluids and the like. The solid particles are mixed with the liquid and move simultaneously, and the original flowing state of the pipeline liquid is changed due to the existence of various solid particle substances such as flour, silt, salts and the like with different sizes and shapes, so that the flowing structure and the flowing form are changed differently. When studying the sedimentation velocity of solid particulate matter in liquid flow, the particle suspension stability and the movement capability of liquid carrying particulate matter, not only the gravity, the two-phase flow velocity, but also the particle size and concentration of solid particulate matter, it is necessary to know and measure the influence of the particle size and concentration of solid particulate matter on the solid-liquid two-phase flow system.
The existing particle size measuring methods for detecting particles are mainly classified into screening methods, microscopy methods, light scattering methods, ultrasonic methods and the like. The screening method is to select a series of standard screens with different screen hole diameters, and the screening of the particles with different particle diameters can be realized through automatic vibration. Due to the limitation of sieve mesh division, the measurement accuracy is affected to a certain extent. The microscopic method can measure the particle size as low as nanometer, is convenient and reliable, takes longer time and is operated in an off-line state. The light scattering method has high accuracy and simple operation, but the accuracy degree has large dependence on a distribution model. The principle of ultrasonic measurement of particle concentration and particle size in solid-liquid two-phase flow is based on the propagation characteristics of sound waves in a medium and the scattering effect of particles on sound waves. When the sound wave passes through the particles in the solid-liquid two-phase fluid, the particles can interact with the sound wave, so that parameters such as amplitude, propagation direction and the like of the sound wave are changed. These changes can be received by the ultrasonic sensor and the particle concentration and particle size inferred from the inversion algorithm. And the ultrasonic frequency band is wider, the particle size range of the particles can be measured, the sound wave transmittance is strong, the measurement response is quick, the anti-pollution capability is strong, and the online particle measurement can be performed. The positive problem of measuring the particle size distribution by an ultrasonic method is to establish an ultrasonic attenuation forward model through an ultrasonic attenuation mechanism, predict the attenuation and phase velocity of ultrasonic in a two-phase system, and the negative problem is to invert the particle size distribution based on the ultrasonic attenuation model. The current method for ultrasonically measuring particle size distribution mainly comprises the steps of obtaining an ultrasonic spectrum through excitation of a given frequency and carrying out inversion through an ultrasonic attenuation theoretical model in combination with an inversion algorithm.
In the existing ultrasonic measurement method, an ultrasonic transducer correlation mode is adopted, and particle size measurement is achieved through propagation and scattering of ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves, in which sound waves generated by an ultrasonic transducer propagate in a medium. In correlation mode, the transmitter and receiver are typically located on either side of the measurement area and produce orthogonal beams. When the acoustic wave encounters a particle, scattering occurs. The presence of the particles causes scattering of the acoustic wave, causing a portion of the acoustic wave to change direction of propagation. The scattering pattern will vary depending on the size and shape of the particles. The scattering pattern is related to parameters such as particle size, shape and distribution. The receiver receives the sound wave scattered by the particles and measures the intensity of the received sound wave. By analyzing the received sonic intensity information, information about the presence, size, and distribution of particles can be inferred.
The existing ultrasonic measurement method has the defect that an ultrasonic transducer in an opposite-emission mode can be limited by the measurement depth when measuring the particle size. Larger particles or larger measurement depths may require more powerful ultrasound transducers or more complex measurement configurations. And secondly, the back scattering measurement can obtain not only scattering signals related to the particle size, but also parameters related to the speed according to actual needs, so that multi-parameter detection of the particle size, the concentration and the speed of the pipeline is realized. The correlation mode of the ultrasonic transducer can be interfered by environmental noise, scattering, attenuation and other factors in the measuring process, and the interference can influence the accuracy and precision of measurement.
When the particle size is measured based on the existing ultrasonic measurement method, a multi-frequency acoustic method is adopted. The multi-frequency acoustic method is a method for realizing acoustic measurement and analysis by simultaneously using a plurality of acoustic signals with different frequencies, and solves the problem that the particle size information cannot be synchronously measured by a single frequency signal. In multi-frequency acoustics, sound waves of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to a measured object, and returned multi-frequency signals are received through a receiver. As the sound waves with different frequencies have different scattering behaviors on particles with different sizes, such as front scattering, back scattering and the like, the multi-frequency signals are processed, analyzed and compared, and the characteristic information of the target object can be extracted by comparing the characteristics and amplitude changes of the signals with different frequencies.
The existing multi-frequency acoustic method for measuring the particle size has the defects that the multi-frequency ultrasonic signals are used for measuring, a plurality of ultrasonic transmitters and receivers are involved, signals with a plurality of frequencies are required to be processed and analyzed, and the complexity and the cost of the system are increased. In solid-liquid two-phase flow, the multi-frequency ultrasonic signals may interfere or cross-influence each other. When ultrasonic signals of a plurality of frequencies are simultaneously present in a medium, mutual influence of the signals may occur, resulting in interference and error generation. If receiving transducers corresponding to different frequencies are used to receive the ultrasonic signals. Each frequency has a dedicated receiving transducer. This approach allows for more accurate reception and measurement of signals at different frequencies and avoids propagation differences and the need for calibration and compensation. However, the use of multiple receiving transducers increases the complexity and cost of the system.

The ultrasonic transducer can output a mixing signal and recover an echo signal scattered by suspended matters in the solid-liquid two-phase flow, namely, the transmitting and receiving signals are realized by the same ultrasonic transducer. The existing ultrasonic multi-frequency detection unit is characterized in that a plurality of transducers emit single-frequency signals with different frequencies to be combined, and corresponding ultrasonic transducers are arranged to receive the single-frequency signals, so that multi-frequency measurement is realized. The invention is based on the multi-frequency measurement of an ultrasonic transducer, which is realized by simultaneously transmitting mixed signals with different frequencies. The invention transmits and receives by the same transducer, which eliminates errors caused by alignment, stability or uniformity problems which may exist between two independent transducers, thereby improving the detection accuracy, and the self-receiving transducer reduces the number of devices, thereby reducing the device cost and maintenance cost.
According to the invention, the concentration and the particle size of suspended matters are detected through the mixing signals, and as the sensitivity degree of ultrasonic signals with different frequencies to particles with different particle sizes is different, the mixing signals can be used for more accurately analyzing the characteristics of materials and distinguishing and comparing the influence degree of different frequency components on the materials, and compared with single-frequency signals, the mixing signals can effectively prevent the interference of external noise signals such as environment and the like, and improve the anti-interference capability of the signals.

Description of the embodiments
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but it should be understood that the embodiments are not limited to the present invention, and functional, method, or structural equivalents and alternatives according to the embodiments are within the scope of protection of the present invention by those skilled in the art.

Mixing acoustic solid-liquid two-phase flow particle concentration and particle size distribution detection system
As shown in fig. 1, the mixed acoustic solid-liquid two-phase flow particle concentration and particle size distribution detection system of the invention comprises:
the signal output end of the mixing signal generating unit is connected with the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system.
The signal output end of the bias voltage signal generating unit is connected with the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system, and the bias voltage signal generating unit is used for generating a bias voltage signal.
And the signal output end of the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system is connected with the ultrasonic transducer.
In specific implementation, the mixing signal generating unit and the bias voltage signal generating unit are integrated in an FPGA module, and the FPGA module is externally connected with a storage unit. The frequency mixing signal is to establish a sine table in the FPGA module, output sine data through table lookup, change the table lookup to obtain the step size, change the frequency of the output sine data, add a plurality of different sine data to obtain multi-frequency sine frequency mixing data, and the above steps are completed in the FPGA module. The signal output end of the mixing signal generating unit is connected with the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system through the digital-to-analog converter and the low-pass filter in sequence. The bias voltage signal generating unit is connected with the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system through the buffer and the low-pass filter in sequence. Because the last stage of amplifying driving circuit is an analog circuit, the MOS transistor of the last stage of amplifying driving circuit enters an amplifying semiconductor conduction state and needs a certain bias voltage, and therefore the circuit can enter a normal working state. By adding the bias voltage signal, the whole output signal of the ultrasonic electric drive control system is moved upwards, the transistor normally works in an amplifying state, namely, a static working point of the transistor is set, correct transmission and undistorted amplification of the output signal are ensured, and the load carrying capacity of the circuit is improved.
And the ultrasonic transducer is used for outputting the mixing signal and recovering the echo signal scattered by suspended matters in the solid-liquid two-phase flow. The ultrasonic transducer adopts a self-receiving ultrasonic measurement mode of back scattering signals (namely, the ultrasonic transducer adopts a self-receiving working mode, and the mixed signals realize the acquisition and the reception of echo signals through the back scattering of solid particles in solid-liquid two-phase flow).
When the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system outputs signals, a tailing removing function is adopted when the response of the transmitting signals is cut off, so that the tail part of the transmitted mixing signals is subjected to zero setting and residual vibration removing, and the interference of noise signals is eliminated. Depalletizing is an important means of reducing dead zones of spontaneous, self-retracting mode transducers because the mechanical oscillations of the transducer still last some time after the signal is sent out, and in order to shorten the tailing time, after the signal is sent out, the mechanical energy is released through a circuit, thereby reducing the tailing time. The shorter the tailing time is, the shorter the time from transmitting to receiving is, so that the dead zone is smaller, the detection range is enlarged, and the detection accuracy is improved.
In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 3, the tailing removing circuit includes a switching triode Q3, a first NMOS tube Q5, a second NMOS tube Q6, a diode D5, a base electrode of the switching triode Q3 is connected to a positive terminal of the diode D5, a negative terminal of the diode D5 is connected to a resistor R23, and the other end (a signal control terminal of the tailing removing circuit) out_to_gnd of the resistor R23 is connected to the FPGA module, and a collector electrode of the switching triode Q3 is connected to gates of the first NMOS tube Q5 and the second NMOS tube Q6. After the mixed signal output by the FPGA module is amplified by the transformer T1, the mixed signal is output to the ultrasonic transducer by the signal output end OUT.
When the mixing signal output by the FPGA module is ended, the out_to_gnd is changed from a high level to a low level from the FPGA, the switching triode Q3 is conducted, the first NMOS tube Q5 and the second NMOS tube Q6 are conducted, and energy is released to the ground through the first NMOS tube Q5 and the second NMOS tube Q6, so that the mixing signal of the FPGA module is subjected to zero setting and aftershock elimination, interference of noise signals is eliminated, the resolving power of the transmitting signal is improved, and the accuracy of a measuring result is further improved. The initial turn-on voltage of diode D5 is 2.5V, which acts as: since the output of the FPGA is 3.3V and the emitter voltage of Q3 is 5V, if 3.3V is directly output from the FPGA, the switching transistor Q3 is also turned on, and when the voltage of out_to_gnd needs to be lower than 1.9V after the diode D5 is added, the switching transistor Q3 is turned on, and when out_to_gnd is 3.3V, the switching transistor Q3 is turned off.
In the concrete implementation, the echo signal output end of the ultrasonic transducer is connected with an operation unit through a gain amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter and an FPGA module in sequence.
The signal input end of the operation unit is connected with the echo signal output end of the ultrasonic transducer, and the operation unit is used for calculating the concentration and the particle size of suspended particles according to the echo signal. In specific implementation, the arithmetic unit adopts a micro controller MCU.
During operation, the DDS module in the FPGA module generates a mixed signal with the center frequency of 2MHz and the bandwidth of 1MHz, the mixed signal is converted into an analog signal through the DAC and is filtered by the low-pass filter, and meanwhile, the FPGA module generates a bias voltage signal for outputting, and the bias voltage is used for shifting an input voltage signal to a set working range, so that the normal operation and the operation of the system are ensured. After passing through the buffer area and the low-pass filter, the mixed signal enters the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system together with the mixed signal, and reaches the ultrasonic transducer to generate the mixed sound wave signal.
After the mixed sound wave signals are reflected in the solid-liquid two-phase fluid, the particles have scattering effect on sound waves, and the ultrasonic transducer receives the signals. The signals enter an input buffer unit, the buffer signals then enter an analog signal gain amplifier, the signals pass through a high-speed analog-to-digital converter, an FPGA module receives mixed echo signals carrying particle concentration and particle size information, the mixed echo signals are sent to a micro controller MCU for decomposition and Fourier transformation, suspended matter particle concentration and particle size data are obtained through calculation, and finally the MCU transmits the data to a differential transceiver through an RS485 bus communication interface to achieve data acquisition.
The FPGA module and the microcontroller MCU are communicated in an SPI mode of USART1, the microcontroller MCU and the differential transceiver are communicated in 485, and because the RAM structure is adopted inside the FPGA module, data can be lost when power is lost, so that logic configuration data needs to be stored externally, an EPCS4 memory is required to be equipped, and the FPGA module and the EPCS4 memory are communicated in SPI mode.

The FPGA module generates and mixes three sine waves with different frequencies and amplitudes. Before preparing to send a signal, the FPGA module disables the received signal and grounds the amplifier input. The FPGA module generates PWM signals and Offset_Adj level, and outputs mixed waves through the ultrasonic piezoelectric driving control system and the digital-to-analog converter, so as to drive the ultrasonic transducer. The system confirms whether the transmission signal is finished or not, and after the transmission is finished, the system waits for delay and prepares to receive the signal. The FPGA module receives and processes the returned echo signals, including amplification, digitization and harmonic analysis.

The working principle of the present invention is described in further detail below.
In the process of solid-liquid two-phase flow propagation of sound waves generated by an ultrasonic transducer, the sound wave penetration range is divided into a near field and a far field. Because of the existence of the transducer protective shell in practical application, the radius measurement difficulty of the sound wave is high when the sound wave propagates in the near field, and the continuous oscillation of the sound wave can also cause the signal to be interfered, so that the sound wave propagates in the near field more complex. Distance transducer when acoustic wave propagates in far fieldrSound pressure amplitude atpDistance to propagation ofrInversely proportional. During near field propagation, a near field correction factor needs to be added to correct the signal of the interfered part. Therefore, in practical application, only far-field echo signal data are generally collected to ensure the reliability of the experiment.
The sound wave intensity can be attenuated in the propagation process of the solid-liquid two-phase flow, and the attenuation is divided into absorption attenuation of a water bodyα w And scattering attenuation of sound waves by suspended particles in a body of waterα s . The absorption decay of a body of water is related to the temperature of the body of water, the absorption, depth of the relaxation process of metal ions, and the frequency of the sound wave, with the absorption decay increasing with increasing propagation distance. Scattering attenuation is caused by the interaction of solid particles, which is related to the concentration of suspended particles, particle size distribution, and frequency of sound waves. The calculation of the scatter attenuation is related to the normalized scatter cross-sectional area of the suspended particles. The normalized cross-sectional area describes the scattering attenuation capability of suspended particles for sound waves, but the accuracy of the measurement is lower when scattering irregularly shaped particles. Wherein both absorption and scattering attenuation can be calculated. The present invention uses a formal function to describe the backscattering properties of suspended particles to sound waves due toThe formal function is directed to backscattering and empirical analysis of the irregular particles is performed to obtain an empirical formula of the formal function for irregularly shaped suspended particles in an actual measurement environment:

The working principle of quantitative detection of the split-phase content of multiphase flow is as follows:
the ultrasonic transducer outputs a short-time pulse signal (a signal is generated by the control of a formula (2.2)), suspended matters in a water body scatter the signal when the signal propagates in a solid-liquid two-phase flow, the ultrasonic transducer receives a backward scattering echo signal, the echo signal carries parameters such as suspended matter concentration, particle size and the like, and the suspension matter concentration and particle size parameters can be obtained by processing the echo signal through a proper inversion algorithm, so that the volume fraction of solid-liquid two-phase fluid solid-phase substances is further achieved.

Equation (2.7) is obtained by subjecting equation (2.4) to a ratio of 1 at different frequencies, and then to transformation with equation (2.8) (2.9) to obtain equation (2.10). Neglecting the effect of scattering attenuation, for far field information,ψ=1, then it can be reduced to:
