Description

Particle detection device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a particle detection device, and more particularly, to a particle detection device that can be mounted on a thin portable device for gas monitoring.

Background

The aerosol refers to solid particles or liquid droplets contained in gas, and because the particles have very fine particle sizes, the particles easily enter the lungs of a human body through nose hairs in the nasal cavity, thereby causing inflammation, asthma or cardiovascular diseases of the lungs, and if other pollutants adhere to the aerosol, the harm to the respiratory system is further aggravated. In recent years, the problem of gas pollution is getting more serious, and especially the concentration data of fine suspended particles (such as PM2.5) is often too high, so that the monitoring of the concentration of the gas suspended particles is getting more and more important, but because the gas can flow with the wind direction and the air volume in an indefinite amount, and the gas quality monitoring station for detecting the suspended particles is mostly a fixed point at present, the concentration of the suspended particles in the current periphery cannot be confirmed at all, so that a miniature and portable gas detection device is needed for a user to detect the concentration of the suspended particles in the periphery anytime, anywhere and anytime.

In view of the above, how to monitor the concentration of suspended particles at any time and any place is a problem that needs to be solved at present.

The parabolic structure of the optical trap region and the design that the position of the optical trap structure for receiving the projection light source of the laser and the light beam channel keep the optical trap distance more than 3mm are adopted, so that the projection light source of the laser forms a focusing point on the parabolic structure of the optical trap structure, the occurrence that stray light is directly reflected back to the light beam channel is reduced, and more accurate particle detection benefit is achieved. Furthermore, the air inlet end outside the detection channel is provided with a protective film sealing cover, so that the detection channel can guide air and has the waterproof and dustproof effects, and the detection accuracy and the service life of the detection channel are not influenced as much as possible.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments that embody features and advantages of this disclosure are described in detail below in the detailed description. It will be understood that the present disclosure is capable of various modifications without departing from the scope of the disclosure, and that the description and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4C, a particle detecting apparatus is provided, which includes a base 1, a detecting part 2, a micro pump 3, a driving control board 4, an outer cover 5 and a protective film 6. The substrate 1 has a first surface 1a and a second surface 1b, the first surface 1a and the second surface 1b are opposite to each other, and the inner portion thereof is separated by a detecting component carrying region 11, a micro pump carrying region 12, a detecting channel 13, a beam channel 14 and an optical trap region 15, wherein the detecting channel 13 and the beam channel 14 are disposed at orthogonal positions, and the beam channel 14 orthogonally penetrates through the detecting channel 13 and is connected to the optical trap region 15. The driving control board 4 is covered on the second surface 1b of the base 1, and the detecting channel 13 is covered by the cover to form a straight gas flowing path. The protective film 6 covers the air inlet end outside the detection channel 13, and the protective film 6 is a waterproof and dustproof film-shaped structure capable of being penetrated by air, so that the detection channel 13 can guide air and has waterproof and dustproof effects, larger particles contained in outside air can be filtered, and the particles can be prevented from entering the detection channel 13 to cause pollution. Therefore, only small suspended particles (such as PM2.5) are introduced into the detection channel 13 for detection, and the detection accuracy and the service life in the detection channel 13 are not influenced as much as possible. The detecting component 2 is positioned on the driving control board 4 and electrically connected thereto, and is disposed in the detecting component carrying region 11. The micro pump 3 is electrically connected to the driving control board 4 to be driven (not shown). The micro-pump carrying region 12 has a carrying frame groove 121 and an air inlet 122 at the bottom, and an air outlet 123 at the top side for communicating with the outside. The air inlet port 122 communicates between the detection passage 13 and the receiving frame groove 121, and allows the micro pump 3 to be received and positioned in the receiving frame groove 121. The micro pump 3 can generate a suction force in the detection channel 13 communicating with the receiving frame slot 121 when driven to operate, the suction force can guide the gas outside the detection channel 13 into the detection channel 13, and then the gas is guided above the receiving frame slot 121 through the transmission of the micro pump 3 and then discharged outside through the exhaust port 123, so as to complete the guidance of gas detection (as the path guidance indicated by the arrow in fig. 4B). Further, the light trap region 15 is provided with a light trap structure 151 disposed to correspond to the light beam path 14. The optical trap structure 151 is a paraboloid structure, so that the projected light source L emitted from the light beam channel 14 forms a focusing point on the paraboloid structure, thereby reducing stray light, and the position of the projected light source L received by the optical trap structure 151 and the light beam channel 14 maintain a light trap distance W (as shown in fig. 4C). It should be emphasized that the optical trap distance W needs to be larger than 3mm, and when the optical trap distance W is smaller than 3mm, the projection light source L projected on the optical trap structure 151 is reflected, and excessive stray light is directly reflected back into the light beam channel 14, thereby causing distortion of the detection accuracy. Thus, the optical trap structure 151 is a parabolic structure and the optical trap distance W needs to be greater than 3mm, and there are other known optical trap structures 151 that adopt a 45-degree inclination angle and do not consider the optical trap distance W, which can effectively solve the problem that the prior art cannot avoid too much stray light from being directly reflected back into the beam channel 14, thereby affecting the detection accuracy.

Referring to fig. 4A, 4B and 4C, the detecting unit 2 includes a microprocessor 21, a particle sensor 22 and a laser 23. Wherein the microprocessor 21, the particle sensor 22 and the laser 23 are packaged on the driving control board 4. The laser 23 is correspondingly disposed in the detecting part carrying area 11 and can emit the projection light source L in the light beam channel 14. The particle sensor 22 is correspondingly disposed at a position where the detection channel 13 is orthogonal to the beam channel 14. Thus, the microprocessor 21 controls the driving operations of the laser 23 and the particle sensor 22, so that the projection light source L of the laser 23 irradiates the light beam channel 14 and passes through the detection channel 13 to be orthogonal to the light beam channel 14 to irradiate the aerosol (for example, PM2.5) contained in the passing gas in the detection channel 13, and the aerosol contained in the irradiated gas generates a projection light spot to be projected to the particle sensor 22 for detection and calculation. The particulate sensor 22 can detect the size and concentration of the aerosol contained in the gas and output a detection signal, wherein the particulate sensor 22 is a PM2.5 sensor. The microprocessor 21 receives the detection signal output from the particle sensor 22 and analyzes it to output detection data.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the outer covering plate 5 includes an upper covering plate 5a and a lower covering plate 5 b. The upper cover plate 5a covers the first surface 1a of the base 1, and has an air inlet 51a at a position corresponding to the air inlet outside the detection channel 13 of the base 1, and an air outlet 52a at a position corresponding to the air outlet 123 of the micro-pump carrier 12. And the lower cover member 5b covers the second surface 1b of the susceptor 1 and is fitted with the upper cover member 5a to seal the susceptor 1, and an intake opening 51b is provided corresponding to a region of the intake inlet 51a of the upper cover member 5a and an exhaust opening 52b is provided corresponding to a region of the exhaust outlet 52a of the upper cover member 5 a. Thus, the external air of the particle detection device can be introduced into the detection channel 13 of the base 1 through the air inlet 51b and the air inlet 51a, and the air in the detection channel 13 of the base 1 can be exhausted from the exhaust port 123 of the micro-pump bearing region 12, and then exhausted outside the particle detection device through the exhaust outlet 52a and the exhaust opening 52 b.

Referring to fig. 2, 4A, 4B, 4C, 5, 6A, 6B and 7A, the micro-pump 3 is supported on the supporting frame slot 121 of the micro-pump supporting region 12 of the base 1, and is composed of an air inlet plate 31, a resonator plate 32, a piezoelectric actuator 33, an insulating plate 34 and a conductive plate 35 stacked from bottom to top in sequence. The intake plate 31 has at least one intake hole 31a, at least one bus hole 31b and a bus chamber 31 c. The number of the air inlet holes 31a and the number of the bus bar holes 31b are the same, and in the embodiment, the number of the air inlet holes 31a and the number of the bus bar holes 31b are 4 for illustration, but not limited thereto. The 4 intake holes 31a penetrate the 4 bus holes 31b, respectively, and the 4 bus holes 31b are merged to the merging chamber 31 c. The resonator plate 32 can be assembled to the air inlet plate 31 by bonding, and the resonator plate 32 has a hollow hole 32a, a movable portion 32b and a fixed portion 32 c. The hollow hole 32a is located at the center of the resonance plate 32 and corresponds to the confluence chamber 31c of the inlet plate 31, and a region disposed around the hollow hole 32a and facing the confluence chamber 31c is a movable portion 32b, and a region disposed at an outer peripheral portion of the resonance plate 32 and adhered to the inlet plate 31 is a fixed portion 32 c. The piezoelectric actuator 33 includes a suspension plate 33a, a frame 33b, at least one connecting portion 33c, a piezoelectric element 33d, at least one gap 33e, and a protrusion 33 f. The suspension plate 33a is a square suspension plate having a first surface 331a and a second surface 332a opposite to the first surface 331 a. The outer frame 33b is disposed around the periphery of the suspension plate 33a, and the outer frame 33b has a mating surface 331b and a lower surface 332 b. At least one connection part 33c is connected between the suspension plate 33a and the outer frame 33b to provide a supporting force for elastically supporting the suspension plate 33 a. The first surface 331a of the suspension plate 33a and the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b form a coplanar surface, the second surface 332a of the suspension plate 33a and the lower surface 332b of the outer frame 33b form a coplanar surface, and the gap 33e is a gap between the suspension plate 33a, the outer frame 33b and the connecting portion 33c for air to pass through. Further, the first surface 331a of the suspension plate 33a has a convex portion 33 f. In the present embodiment, the convex portion 33f is etched in the region from the periphery of the convex portion 33f to the connection portion between the suspension plate 33a and the connection portion 33c, so as to be recessed, and the convex surface 331f of the convex portion 33f of the suspension plate 33a is higher than the first surface 331a, thereby forming a step-like structure. In addition, the outer frame 33b is disposed around the outer side of the suspension plate 33a, and has a conductive pin 333b protruding outward for electrical connection, but not limited thereto.

The resonator plate 32 and the piezoelectric actuator 33 are stacked and assembled with each other through a filler g to form a chamber space 36 between the resonator plate 32 and the piezoelectric actuator 33. The filling material g is a conductive adhesive, but not limited thereto, and is used to make a distance h between the resonator plate 32 and the piezoelectric actuator 33, that is, maintain a depth of the distance h between the resonator plate 32 and the convex surface 331f of the convex portion 33f on the suspension plate 33a of the piezoelectric actuator 33, so as to guide the air flow to flow more rapidly, and because the convex portion 33f of the suspension plate 33a keeps a proper distance from the resonator plate 32, the contact interference between the convex portion 33f and the resonator plate is reduced, and the noise generation is reduced.

In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 7B, the resonator plate 32 and the piezoelectric actuator 33 are stacked and assembled with each other through a filler g to form a cavity space 36 between the resonator plate 32 and the piezoelectric actuator 33, and a press forming process is further performed on the suspension plate 33a to recess the suspension plate downward to form the cavity space 36, wherein the recess distance is adjustable by at least one connection portion 33c formed between the suspension plate 33a and the outer frame 33B by press forming. Thereby, the first surface 331a of the suspension plate 33a and the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b are both non-coplanar, i.e., the first surface 331a of the suspension plate 33a is lower than the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b, and the second surface 332a of the suspension plate 33a is lower than the lower surface 332b of the outer frame 33 b. The convex surface 331f of the convex portion 33f on the suspension plate 33a can also be selectively lower than the matching surface 331b of the outer frame 33 b. The piezoelectric element 33d is attached to the second surface 332a of the suspension plate 33a and is disposed opposite to the projection 33 f. When the driving voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 33d, the suspension plate 33a is driven to vibrate due to the deformation caused by the piezoelectric effect. The small amount of the filler g is coated on the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b, and the piezoelectric actuator 33 is attached to the fixing portion 32c of the resonator plate 32 by thermal compression, so that the piezoelectric actuator 33 can be assembled and combined with the resonator plate 32. Since the gap h formed between the first surface 331a of the suspension plate 33a and the resonator plate 32 affects the transmission efficiency of the micro pump 3, it is important to maintain a constant gap h for providing stable transmission efficiency for the micro pump 3. Therefore, the floating plate 33a of the micro pump 3 is depressed downward by pressing, so that the first surface 331a of the floating plate 33a and the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b are not coplanar, that is, the first surface 331a of the floating plate 33a is lower than the assembly surface 331b of the outer frame 33b, and the second surface 332a of the floating plate 33a is lower than the lower surface 332b of the outer frame 33b, so that the floating plate 33a of the piezoelectric actuator 33 is depressed to form a space to maintain an adjustable distance h from the resonant plate 32. The suspension plate 33a of the piezoelectric actuator 33 is recessed to form a structural improvement of a gap h, so that the required gap h can be directly completed by adjusting the forming recess distance of the suspension plate 33a of the piezoelectric actuator 33, thereby effectively simplifying the structural design for adjusting the gap h, and simultaneously achieving the advantages of simplifying the manufacturing process, shortening the manufacturing time and the like.

Referring to fig. 5 and 8, the insulating sheet 34 and the conductive sheet 35 are frame-shaped thin sheets, and are sequentially stacked and combined on the piezoelectric actuator 33. In the present embodiment, the insulating sheet 34 is attached to the lower surface 332b of the outer frame 33b of the piezoelectric actuator 33, and the conductive sheet 35 is stacked and bonded on the insulating sheet 34. And the form thereof substantially corresponds to the form of the outer frame 33b of the piezoelectric actuator 33. In some embodiments, the insulating sheet 34 is made of an insulating material, such as: plastic, but not limited to this, for insulation; in other embodiments, the conductive sheet 35 is made of a conductive material, such as: but not limited to, metal for electrical conduction. In this embodiment, a conductive pin 351a may also be disposed on the conductive sheet 35 for electrical conduction. The known method for fixing the two driving electrodes of the piezoelectric element 33d of the piezoelectric actuator 33 on the piezoelectric element 33d by welding is not limited to one conductive wire, but the electrodes on the piezoelectric element 33d need to be fixed by a jig and have different alignment according to different processes, so the design of the known electrodes greatly complicates the assembly. To solve the problem, the present invention utilizes the conductive sheet 35 to provide a conductive inner lead 351b as one of the two driving electrodes of the piezoelectric element 33d, so as to overcome the defect that the above electrodes are electrically connected in a lead-out manner. The conductive inner lead 351b is integrally stamped from the conductive sheet 35, and the conductive inner lead 351b may extend inward to a conductive position on any edge of the frame of the conductive sheet 35, and may be in any shape for external connection with an electrode. The conductive inner lead 351b forms an extension 3511b with a bending angle θ and a bending height H inward on one side of the frame of the conductive sheet 35, and the extension 3511b further has a branch 3512 b. The fork 3512b and the frame of the conductive sheet 35 maintain the bending height H, which is preferably a height that is consistent with the thickness of the piezoelectric element 33d, so as to achieve good contact effect. In the embodiment, the distance P between the branches 3512b is fixed to the surface of the piezoelectric element 33d through a medium such as a molten alloy, a conductive adhesive, a conductive ink, a conductive resin, or the like, so as to achieve a better adhesion effect.

Please refer to fig. 9A to 9C, which are schematic operation diagrams of the micro pump 3 shown in fig. 7A. Referring to fig. 9A, after the driving voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 33d of the piezoelectric actuator 33, the piezoelectric element is deformed to drive the suspension plate 33a to move upward, and the resonator 32 is synchronously moved upward under the influence of the resonance principle, so that the volume of the chamber space 36 is increased, and a negative pressure is formed in the chamber space 36, and the external air of the micro-pump 3 is sucked through the air inlet hole 31a, passes through the bus hole 31b, enters the bus chamber 31c, and passes through the hollow hole 32a, and enters the chamber space 36. Referring to fig. 9B, when the piezoelectric element 33d drives the suspension plate 33a to move downward, the chamber space 36 is compressed, and the gas in the chamber space 36 is forced to be transmitted upward through the gap 33e, so as to achieve the effect of transmitting the gas, and meanwhile, the resonator 32 also moves downward due to the resonance with the suspension plate 33a, so as to synchronously force the gas in the confluence chamber 31c to move toward the chamber space 36, so that the movable portion 32B of the resonator 32 moves downward, and the gas cannot be sucked through the air inlet 31a temporarily. Finally, referring to fig. 9C, when the suspension plate 33a is further driven upward and the suspension plate 33a returns to the horizontal position maintained when it is not actuated, the movable portion 32b of the resonator plate 32 is also driven to move upward, the resonator plate 32 moves the gas in the compression chamber space 36 toward the gap 33e, and the volume in the collecting chamber 31C is increased, so that the gas can continuously pass through the gas inlet hole 31a and the collecting hole 31b and then is collected in the collecting chamber 31C. By repeating the operations of fig. 9A to 9C, the micro pump 3 can continuously take in gas from the gas inlet hole 31a and then transmit the gas upward through the gap 33e to continuously suck the gas, i.e. the operation of transmitting gas for the micro pump 3 is formed.

As can be seen from the above description, in the implementation of the particle detecting apparatus provided in the present invention, the micro-pump 3 is supported on the supporting frame groove 121 of the micro-pump supporting region 12 of the base 1, so that the air inlet hole 31a of the air inlet plate 31 is sealed in the supporting frame groove 121 and is communicated with the air inlet port 122, when the micro-pump 3, the particle sensor 22 and the laser 23 are controlled by the microprocessor 21 to operate, the micro-pump 3 causes the detection channel 13 communicated with the holding frame slot 121 to generate a suction force, so as to guide the external air of the detection channel 13 into the detection channel 13, and since the detecting channel 13 is a straight gas flowing path, the introduced gas can smoothly flow in the detecting channel 13, the light beam passes through the detection channel 13 and the light beam channel 14 at the orthogonal position, and is irradiated by the projection light source L of the laser 23 to project a light spot onto the particle sensor 22, so that the particle sensor 22 can detect the size and concentration of the suspended particles contained in the gas. The projection light source L emitted by the light beam channel 14 passes through the detection channel 13 and finally projects onto the light trap structure 151 of the light trap region 15, and a focus point is formed on the parabolic structure of the light trap structure 151 to reduce stray light, and furthermore, a light trap distance W is maintained between the position of the projection light source L received by the light trap structure 151 and the light beam channel 14, the light trap distance W is more than 3mm, so that the distortion problem that excessive stray light is directly reflected back into the light beam channel 14 to influence the detection accuracy can be avoided, and a more accurate particle detection benefit can be achieved. The air inlet end outside the detection channel 13 is provided with a protective film 6 sealing cover, so that the detection channel 13 can guide air and has waterproof and dustproof effects to prevent larger particles contained in the outside air from entering the detection channel 13 to cause pollution, therefore, only smaller suspended particles (such as PM2.5) are led into the detection channel 13 for detection, and the detection accuracy and the service life of the detection channel 13 can not be influenced as much as possible. Thus, the particle detection device provided by the scheme can be applied and assembled on a portable electronic device to form a movable particle detection device. The portable device is one of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device and a notebook computer. Or the particle detection device provided by the scheme can be applied and assembled on a wearing accessory to form a movable particle detection device, wherein the wearing accessory is one of a pendant, a button, glasses and a watch.

In summary, the particle detecting apparatus provided by the present disclosure utilizes the middle region of the thin-type substrate to separate the detecting channel and the light beam channel, and the laser, the particle sensor and the micro-pump, which are configured to position the detecting component, in the substrate, and the micro-pump is matched to transmit gas in the detecting channel of a linear gas flow path, so that the introduced gas can smoothly and smoothly pass through the orthogonal position of the detecting channel and the light beam channel, thereby detecting the size and the concentration of the suspended particles contained in the gas. The parabolic structure of the optical trap region and the design that the position of the optical trap structure for receiving the projection light source of the laser and the light beam channel keep the optical trap distance larger than 3mm are adopted, so that the laser light source projected by the laser forms a focusing point on the parabolic structure of the optical trap structure, the occurrence that stray light is directly reflected back to the light beam channel is reduced, and more accurate particle detection benefit is achieved. Furthermore, the air inlet end outside the detection channel is provided with a protective film sealing cover, so that the detection channel can guide air and has the waterproof and dustproof effects, and the detection accuracy and the service life of the detection channel are not influenced as much as possible. Therefore, the particle detection device of the present invention is very suitable for being assembled on a portable electronic device and a wearable accessory to form a mobile particle detection device for a user to monitor the concentration of the surrounding suspended particles anytime and anywhere, and has industrial applicability and advancement.
