Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device of the aging effect of acceleration detection sample, relate in particular to a kind of have use for discharge lamp its device for fast detecting aged sample and method of operating thereof as the degeneration of color, composition and/or the structure of assembling light source acceleration detection sample, this device comprises improved control and calibration structure.The preferred embodiment of the present invention that is used for test sample uses fluorescent ultra-violet lamp as light source, and it is approximate natural light in the ultraviolet region of spectrum, causes thus degenerating, and will utilize it to be described as a reference.Yet, will be appreciated that other discharge lamp also can be used as light source, main example is xenon lamp or any other light source.
Background technology
The conventional sense device of use discharge lamp shown in Figure 1 has eight uviol lamps 10, and they are provided in the sensing chamber 12, and when they are aligned to the row of the downward dispersion of symmetry when the angle of xsect is observed.Want detected sample 14 to be placed on two relative sample support walls of pick-up unit frame, so that inwardly facing to uviol lamp and accept their irradiation.In the machine that illustrates, two samples are arranged, one be upper sample another be lower specimen; Yet, can only have a simple sample or have sample more than two.The rear surface of sample 14 is exposed in the atmosphere of machine exterior.Air outside is heated and blows to the inside of chamber 12, with the temperature in the conditioning chamber 12.Be fed in the chamber 12 with the water in the moisture cassette for supplying 16 heating and evaporation and with moisture by conventional method.
In above-mentioned detection machine, a kind of embodiment of this machine operation is included under 60 ℃ the temperature to 16 hours irradiation light of sample 14 supplies, closes lamp 10 then, and the inside of chamber 12 remains under 50 ℃ the temperature and produces 8 hours moisture.These two steps, a circulation that has constituted aging detecting operation is constantly repeated.When lamp was closed, the humidity in the chamber 12 was higher, and the rear surface of sample is exposed in the extraneous air under the lower temperature.Thereby because condensation, got wet in the surface of sample.Therefore, repeat the sample of getting wet, apply the ultraviolet ray irradiation and dry this several steps, quickened the aging of sample.Be to be understood that top description is the circulation of the operable type of machine of this kind.
Yet, in the device shown in Fig. 1, exist problem.At first, do not respond to the equipment of the output of fluorescent light 10, with degradation rate or the control radiation output of following the tracks of them.In above-mentioned equipment, a kind of program of standard attempts to provide the even output of these lamps, and it is the position that rotates these lamps at interval with preset time according to predetermined order.Do not provide and detect these lamps, detect actual output; On the contrary, suppose, and consider this hypothesis and arrange rotation order about possible output.
The equipment of another shortcoming of such equipment in beginning and operating process, these lamps not being regulated.Thereby, the life-span of having damaged these lamps, and deviation has taken place in the degree of accuracy of any detection.And the radiancy that can not calibrate these lamps.
In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming of the conventional sense device shown in Fig. 1, various trials have been carried out.The device that in these are attempted, has a kind of Atlas electronic equipment company to produce, name is called AtlasCi35 FADE-OMETER ; The name that a kind of Heraeus produces is called the device of XENOTEST  1200 CPS; The U.S. Patent number of the Suga that authorizes on October 1st, 1985: 4544995; The people's such as Kockott that authorize on April 27th, 1971 U.S. Patent number: 4544995; And the people's such as Fedor that authorize on April 27th, 1993 U.S. Patent number: 5206518.
The equipment of Atlas and xenon arc lamp use together, and it comprises the main light control system of a closing coil irradiation monitor as it.This monitor uses light pipe, interference filter and the photodiode that is inserted into solid state electronic devices, keeps predetermined irradiance, and amounts to the energy of sample reception by a kind of integrator.The manual irradiation controller that this equipment uses when also being equipped with this system of periodic calibration.
The device that Heraeus produces also uses with the xenon arc lamp.This equipment uses three photo-detectors to survey the output of three independent xenon arc lamps.
The conventional equipment that constitutes the element of above-mentioned these two equipment comprises discharge lamp, and they can be xenon lamp type and vertical the placement.Around discharge lamp, provide filtrator to pass through with the light that only allows required wavelength.The output of the discharge lamp of sensor to respond to vertical placement is provided, and places a rotary sample bracing frame with around discharge lamp.Provide each detector to survey the irradiation that discharge lamp separately produces in time.The rotation of rotary sample bracing frame is arranged in the sample of sample support frame.Provide the output of sensor, and the rotary sample bracing frame is attempted to provide average all irradiation of equal amounts for each sample with the tracking discharge lamp.Use inwall that the outside guiding of the light of discharge lamp is reflexed on the sample.
Another equipment uses the uviol lamp similar to Fig. 1 at fit on, and it comprises single-sensor.Yet, in such device, need before these lamps are placed on this equipment, mate the feature of these lamps.Because sensor is only responded to the lamp of the most close its position, this needs.Therefore, sensor will suppose that the lamp away from it is the same work with the lamp of its actual sensed.
The Suga patent is attempted to be adjusted to asymmetric geometry by the arrangement row with the discharge lamp 10 of Fig. 1 and is improved the prior art equipment shown in Fig. 1.Discharge lamp 10 is not directly to place downwards successively.On the contrary, they are arranged in a kind of special position.This attempts to realize providing more uniform irradiation profile to sample 14 in Suga.
People's such as Kockott patent is at a kind of equipment that uses the irradiation bomb that prolongs in cylindric carrier surface inside.People such as Kockott disclose three kinds of even distributions that method is come sampling irradiation.The first, lay mirror to reflect available light; The second, designing a kind of light source increases light intensity with the end at it; The 3rd, the radiation of using calibration wheel disc inhibition light source to send is dispersed.
People's such as Fedor patent structurally illustrates and the similar device of describing to Fig. 1 at a kind of, and it has improved smooth o controller and beam distribution in sensing chamber.People such as Fedor disclose a kind of device, comprise frame with sensing chamber and the sample support wall that is positioned at this chamber interior.Light source is provided in the sensing chamber.A kind of ballast device is connected to and is used to control the power that light source receives from power supply on the light source.A kind of controller is connected on the ballast device, to produce a kind of ballast control signal and to control the operation of ballast device according to required setting point value.The light source detector is placed in the sample support wall surveying the irradiance in the sensing chamber, so the light source detection device can produce a kind of irradiance signal, and this signal is imported in the controller then.This controller uses the irradiance signal to adjust ballast control signal to keep the setting point value that has selected.Calibrator unit comprises and is inserted into a kind of with reference to detector of adjacent light source detector in the sample support wall that it is designed to survey the irradiance in the sensing chamber and produces a kind of with reference to the irradiance signal.Be transferred on the calibration meter with reference to the irradiance signal, this calibration meter produces a kind of calibrating signal.Calibrating signal is transferred to and is used to calibrate this device on the controller.
The Fedor device also comprises a kind of baffle wall that is arranged in sensing chamber.Baffle wall is configured to stop selectively and shift the light beam that array of source produces.The prevention of light beam and transfer occur in and a kind ofly are selected as increasing light beam in the pattern of the mean allocation of sample support wall.
The device of Fedor also comprises a plurality of self-adjusting control channels of operating simultaneously, is used to control the output of each independent light source.These passages are controlled the output of one of them light source at least.
Although above-mentioned referenced patent provides some improvement of conventional equipment discussed above, still there is defective.
Pay special attention to the equipment of Atlas and Heraeus, notice that they have all used the rotary sample holder device.Based on this support of very basic reason is essential.Atlas equipment comprises a kind of surveillance, and it monitors that whole outputs of xenon arc lamp are to attempt to keep total system predetermined total irradiation output degree in time.The equipment of Heraeus uses three sensors to control three different lamps outputs in time.These sensor devices are used to produce a kind of constant irradiance that keeps in time.Yet any induction installation that all do not use of these equipment makes irradiation keep constant on whole space.
These two kinds of equipment all use runing rest to attempt to obtain the homogeneity in space.Therefore, being placed in the runing rest sample and obtaining spatially uniform around these lamps rotations by making, therefore is different irradiance average at each the some place on the sample plane circumference by the effect of light strength of each sample reception.Although runing rest has increased homogeneity, it has also increased the complicacy of equipment, because it needs a kind of motor and relevant rotating machinery device.
Therefore, even these equipment have the irradiation sensing capability, they only these abilities be used in temporal consistent export rather than the space on.Because the geometric configuration of equipment, there is different irradiation at each the some place on the sample plane circumference.Therefore, be positioned at the discharge lamp region in front and will have bigger irradiation zone, and will receive lower irradiation apart from discharge lamp sample far away.The rotation of support attempts to produce the ensemble average homogeneity of the irradiation that is radiated on the sample.
Use the known ultraviolet system of single-sensor to have to need this shortcoming of these lamps that coupling just using in system.This just need test these lamps in large quantities before using.Another shortcoming is in such system, when distance sensor lamp far away burns out or degenerates, can not sense reducing of its output.Have only in fact nearest lamp energy sensed, and suppose that remaining lamp plays a role in a similar manner, this situation is correct.
The patent of Suga attempts to increase the uniformity of light that shine sample on away from sample to increase the homogeneity that shines the light on the sample from top to bottom by moving two center lamps.A kind of like this shortcoming of device is for can not easily improving any improvement of existing aging equipment to obtain to obtain from the Suga device.
The shortcoming of people's such as Kockott patent is that it is at a kind of single lamp system.Another shortcoming of people's such as Kockott patent has increased the complicacy and the cost of device for it.
Another shortcoming relevant with the conventional sense device of above-mentioned discussion is their calibration.These equipment need operator's manual operation, and this just means that the operator need make the most critical decision of suitable calibration conversely.Manually readjust simultaneously device because the operator is responsible for making decision, therefore the precision of calibration will depend on operator's technology.In addition, because calibration by manually finishing, therefore takes place the stop time of prolongation in such calibration, and exist because operator's error causes this possibility of a large amount of errors.
The patent of Fedor attempts to implement automatically the control and the calibration procedure of pick-up unit.Control monitors simultaneously and is placed on a plurality of sensors in the sample support wall and controls each independent passage individually.In order to calibrate independent sensor, the operator opens the place that is close to independent sensor in door and the sample support wall in sensing chamber reference sensor is installed.Unfortunately calibration procedure has been introduced a large amount of operate misss.The operator must select the type of lamp and the zone of each calibrating position with picking.Thereby the shortcoming of this calibration procedure is the operator must be walked around security system and further error is incorporated in the reference sensor reading.In addition, the operator is exposed in harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Fedor also attempts to come beam distribution in the control detection chamber by place baffle wall between the array of lamp.A kind of like this shortcoming of device is that independent sensor and reference sensor is installed in the sample support wall.On these positions, sensor is exposed in all aging actions of test sample experience.Therefore, when sensor is used in this device, they will be degenerated, thereby error is incorporated in the detection.Another shortcoming is the ballast resistor that is used to control the power of these lamps.It is the application of conventional ballast resistor that Fedor discloses, and wherein signal is imported in the ballast resistor to increase or to reduce the power of ballast resistor.
An also shortcoming of Fedor device is for using concurrency control algorithm, and it has caused sensor reading devious.As a result, the irradiance value that measures is coarse.Therefore, control system have mistake partially and testing result can not be considered to accurate.
