Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of quantitative thermography, in particular thermographic measurement of the temperature of persons, but also to other applications where there are increased demands on the accuracy of non-contact determination of the area distribution of the measured temperature and focuses in particular on devices for accurate thermographic temperature measurement.
  • Infrared thermographic measurement is a method of measuring surface temperature distribution of objects based on the detection of infrared radiation emanating from their surface. The temperature is evaluated by the measuring system based on the knowledge of the area distribution of the infrared radiation absorbed by the detector and other values quantifying the active thermal processes of the reflection of the environment or the transmissivity of the environment.
  • thermographic system The basic part of a thermographic system is an optical system, i.e. a lens through which infrared radiation passes and is directed so that it hits an infrared radiation detector or sensor. The latter converts this radiation into an electrical signal and is a basic element of thermographic systems.
  • thermographic systems include electronic and software systems that ensure the processing of the electrical signal from the detector and its interpretation in the form of temperature fields displayed in a so-called thermogram and other tools, for example for setting the parameters of the measured object and surroundings, considering the parameters of the optical system, controlling the entire system and export of measured data.
  • thermal detectors and photon detectors are distinguished.
  • the most common infrared radiation detectors are currently thermal detectors based on microbolometric arrays, i.e. arrays of miniature bolometric detectors that change their electrical resistance depending on their temperature.
  • the temperature of the sensor varies depending on the amount of infrared radiation absorbed.
  • the change in temperature and thus their resistance can actually be influenced by many other factors, for example the ambient temperature.
  • a suitable geometric configuration is essential for the entire system, especially the insulation of the detector from the surroundings, but also the system of corrections and compensations of the entire system.
  • a common solution for bolometric cameras is, for example, the measurement of the temperature of the detector and its surroundings and the use of a movable aperture between the detector and the lens, while one specific solution is described in document US 006929410 B2.
  • the aperture is closed for a short time at certain intervals and the measured values are corrected and calibrated based on its temperature and known properties. The way these corrections are made, the materials used, the geometric configuration of the layout and the algorithms used are crucial for the resulting accuracy and stability of the infrared measuring system. While the sensitivity, i.e.
  • thermographic cameras based on bolometric detectors can be better than 0.05 °C, while the sensitivity of cooled photon detectors is even higher, their accuracy in terms of quantitative determination of the correct temperature usually ranges from ⁇ 2 °C up to ⁇ 5 °C or even worse depending on the design of the device, the ambient conditions and the measured temperature range.
  • Various principles, approaches and methods of solving the internal layout of thermographic systems are described in detail in professional publications and patent documents, for example in US 005994701 A, US 006267501 B l, US 006476392 Bl, US 006953932 B2, US 007105818 B2, US 008049163 B l or WO 0184118 A2.
  • the disadvantage of these common thermographic systems in applications with high demands on absolute measurement accuracy is their lack of accuracy and long-term temperature stability.
  • the accuracy of temperature determination represents the difference between the actual temperature of the measured object and the temperature determined by the measuring device, typically when measuring the temperature of a reference source of radiation (the so-called black body).
  • the temperature stability of the thermographic system expresses how the temperature determined by the measuring system changes when measuring a reference radiation source with a constant temperature, depending on the external and internal temperature conditions.
  • the manufacturer specifies an accuracy of ⁇ 2 °C or worse, which also includes the effects of temperature stability.
  • a conventional thermographic system is therefore not applicable.
  • a calibration device is used, which is a so-called reference black body.
  • a black body is a device that emits infrared radiation proportional to its temperature, while the accuracy and stability of its temperature is higher than the accuracy of a common thermographic camera, and it normally achieves an accuracy of ⁇ 0.5 °C and a stability of ⁇ 0.1 °C.
  • the black body is positioned so that it is in one thermogram with the measured object and at a similar distance to the measured object, so that both the black body and the measured object are in focus.
  • the thermographic record from the region of the black body, for which a known temperature is assumed, is then used to correct the entire thermogram. In the simplest case, the correction is made by subtracting the difference between the temperature of the black body measured by the thermographic camera and its actual temperature from the rest of the thermogram. It is ideal when the temperature of the black body is as close as possible to the temperature of the measured object.
  • the black body can work either completely independently of the thermographic camera or it can be connected to the thermographic camera in one system.
  • thermographic systems with a black body is the need to use two devices, one of which is far from the measured object, i.e. the thermographic camera, and one is close to the measured object, i.e. the black body. This greatly complicates the operation of the entire system.
  • a fundamental disadvantage and limitation is the requirement that the black body is always in the field of view of the camera. This usually leads to a solution with a fixed geometric configuration of the black body and thermographic camera, when even with small changes in the position of one of these devices, it is necessary to check the position of the black body in the field of view of the camera and mark the area of the black body in the camera's field of view, from which it is subsequently determined correction for the entire thermogram.
  • thermographic camera A significant disadvantage is also the need to place the black body near the measured object, which often leads to the need to place either the thermographic camera or the black body in free space, which appears to be a complication in the practical installation of the thermographic system.
  • this solution is often supplied as a standard set, for example for thermographic measurement of human body temperature.
  • a moving black body can be used, which is placed in front of the lens for the necessary time, calibration is carried out, i.e. determination of the correction, and then the black body is removed from the field of view of the camera and the temperature of the measured object is recorded. It is assumed that if the measurement is performed shortly after calibration, the conditions and the correction constant will not fundamentally change.
  • this method is usually less accurate than a system with a static configuration of a thermographic camera and a black body, which is in the camera's field of view for the entire time of measurement.
  • the disadvantage is also the more complex handling of individual parts of the system, which must be carried out throughout the measurement period.
  • thermographic temperature measurement the essence of which is that at least one calibrating thermal element and the detector are fixed in the housing, while the calibrating thermal element occupies part of the field of view.
  • the calibration thermal element is located from the detector at a distance of 20 to 300 mm.
  • the outer surface of the housing is in contact with the external environment.
  • the calibration thermal element is preferably equipped with a temperature sensor and/or a heating element.
  • the radiating surface of the calibration thermal element is made of material with an emissivity in the range of 0.7 to 1.
  • the advantages of the device for thermographic measurement according to the invention are in the accuracy of determining the temperature of the measured object and the comfort of its use, both for the person providing its operation and for the person being measured.
  • the calibration thermal element is integrated into the housing of the device and is permanently located in the field of view, during measurement, thermal processes that cause inaccuracies in determining the actual temperature of the measured object are continuously corrected.
  • the designed device can be fully compact, portable and suitable for both manual use and fixed attachment.
  • thermographic devices were used with calibration elements that were not permanently placed in the field of view during the measurement. Since the calibration element is permanently located in the field of view, during the measurement, thermal processes affecting the measured temperature values are continuously corrected, the result is therefore an increase in the accuracy of determining the actual temperature of the measured object.
  • thermographic devices were used with calibration elements that were not part of the actual body of the measuring system. This caused a limitation of user comfort both during the preparation of the measuring system and during the measurement itself. Since the calibration element is a permanent part of the housing, the entire thermographic device is compact, immediately ready for measurement, the need to set the exact position of the calibration element relative to the detector is eliminated, and with any change in the position of the device, the calibration element always occupies the same field of view, which is a great advantage in applications, where it is necessary to change the position of the measuring system between measurements or even during the measurement. In addition, the calibration element does not in any way interfere with the movement of measured living and non-living objects in applications where the temperature of a large number of measured objects is measured successively.

  • the thermographic infrared detector 1_, the lens 2 and other electrical and electronic parts of the device, such as the control computer, evaluation circuits, battery power, are located inside the compact housing 6, which ensures its mechanical protection.
  • a protective glass 4 is placed in the area of intersection of the compact housing 6 and the field of view 7, which allows the infrared measured radiation 11 to pass through and at the same time forms a mechanical protection for the optical parts of the device.
  • a movable aperture 3 is placed between the protective glass 4 and the lens 2. In its one position, this movable aperture 3 optically closes the field of view 7 and does not transmit the infrared measured radiation 11 to the thermographic infrared detector j_.

  • the measured object 10 in this case is of such a shape that the infrared measured radiation 11 does not reach the thermographic infrared detector 1 through the calibration field 8 formed by the calibration thermal element 5.

  • the control and possibly also the display elements of the measuring device for example a switch for turning it off or a display for displaying the measured image, i.e. a thermogram, as well as inputs and outputs for power supply or data streams, or external memory cards are located on the outside part of the compact housing 6.
  • An essential part of the device according to the invention is the solution of the optical input, as shown in Fig. 1, which is embedded in the compact housing 6 by means of a conical opening, which gradually narrows from the surface and whose walls follows the field of view 7.
  • the depth of this opening corresponds to the required distance of the optical part of the device from the calibration thermal element 5, which is located on the open side of the opening of the compact housing 6 at the level of its outer surface.
  • Fig. 6 shows a device for thermographic temperature measurement performed by an operator.
  • thermographic device for unmanned temperature measurement is shown in Fig. 7 from the side view and Fig. 8 from the front view.

  • thermographic device with two calibration thermal elements 5 is shown in Fig. 9. It is a device intended for non-contact temperature measurement in applications requiring extreme accuracy of temperature determination or in applications where there are relatively large changes in the ambient temperature.
  • the device according to the invention includes several calibration thermal elements, in the specific case in Fig. 9 two. In that case, each calibration thermal element 5 occupies a different part of the field of view 7.
  • the temperature of the calibration thermal elements 5 is different.

Or one of the calibration thermal elements 5 is temperature-unregulated and takes the temperature of the external environment in which the compact housing 6 is located.

  • the measurement of the surface distribution of the infrared measured radiation 11 from the surface of the measured object 10 in the uncovered part of the field of view 7 takes place using the thermographic infrared detector 1, and within the calibration field 8 the measurement of the calibration radiation 12 from the surface of the calibration thermal element 5 takes place.
