The invention relates to an entirely electronic device allowing analyses of materials without carrying out spectral analysis. It consists of a probe, a system for injecting and generating a signal, a system measuring and characterising an electronic signature of the material. The analysis is then carried out by comparison with a databank incorporated with the device. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for monitoring air and water pollution.

Description

DescriDtion
Titre : Dispositif électronique pour effectuer des analyses de matériaux gazeux, liquides ou solides.Description
Title: Electronic device to carry out analyzes of gaseous, liquid or solid materials.

La présente description concerne un dispositif électronique destine å l'analyse de matériaux aussi divers qu'un gaz, un liquide ou un solide, de manière qualitative ou quantitative. The present description relates to an electronic device intended for the analysis of materials as diverse as a gas, a liquid or a solid, in a qualitative or quantitative manner.

Traditionnellement l'analyse est faite a partir d'un relevé spectral de transmission d'une lumiere connue a travers le materiaux å analyser. Traditionally, the analysis is made from a spectral statement of transmission of a known light through the materials to be analyzed.

L'analyse effectuée å l'aide de l'invention repose sur le principe de la comparaison d'une signature elec- tronique du materiaux analysé avec des données préala- blement établies. Le dispositif realise å la fois le relevé de cette signature électronique et l'analyse proprement dite par comparaison. The analysis carried out with the aid of the invention is based on the principle of comparing an electronic signature of the material analyzed with data previously established. The device carries out both the reading of this electronic signature and the actual analysis by comparison.

L'invention consiste a effectuer le relevé de la signature electronique å l'aide d'un dispositif entièrement électronique, dont la sonde est constituée par deux électrodes faisant fonction de capteurs entre lesquelles ou autour desquelles est placé le matériaux. The invention consists in carrying out the reading of the electronic signature using a fully electronic device, the probe of which consists of two electrodes acting as sensors between which or around which the material is placed.

L'injection d'un signal connu entre les électrodes permet a la manière d'un analyseur d'impédance, de relever une fonction de transfert de l'ensemble électrode/matériaux. La courbe obtenue dans un plan Oxy est alors représentative de la constitution du materiaux. The injection of a known signal between the electrodes makes it possible, in the manner of an impedance analyzer, to take up a transfer function of the electrode / materials assembly. The curve obtained in an Oxy plane is then representative of the constitution of the materials.

Il s'agit de la signature électronique. Les conditions de mesures pour determiner la signature électronique d'un matériaux sont très importantes et sont identiques ss celles utilises pour établir les données de comparaison.This is the electronic signature. The measurement conditions for determining the electronic signature of a material are very important and are identical to those used to establish the comparison data.

La comparaison consiste a trouver dans une banque de données la courbe la plus proche de la signature electronique obtenue pour déterminer avec la prGcision de la banque de donnees la composition globale du matériaux.  The comparison consists in finding in a database the curve closest to the electronic signature obtained in order to determine with the accuracy of the database the overall composition of the materials.

La figure 1 représente un exemple de courbe ou signature électronique (f) dans le plan Oxy, caracterisant un matériaux. FIG. 1 represents an example of a curve or electronic signature (f) in the Oxy plane, characterizing a material.

La figure 2 représente le synoptique du dispositif selon l'invention. FIG. 2 represents the block diagram of the device according to the invention.

Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation
- Les électrodes de la sonde (3) peuvent entre réalisées dans des matériaux en fonction du type de ceux å analyser (2). Par exemple l'analyse de l'air peut etre faite avec des électrodes métalliques.According to the particular embodiments
- The electrodes of the probe (3) can be made of materials depending on the type of those to be analyzed (2). For example, the air analysis can be done with metallic electrodes.

- Un circuit d'adaptation (4) est adjoint a la sonde pour adapter les niveaux mesures et augmenter la précision des résultats. - An adaptation circuit (4) is added to the probe to adapt the measurement levels and increase the accuracy of the results.

- L'injecteur de signal (5) peut etre réalisé a base de transistors, d'amplificateurs operationnels, de circuits intégrés et de composants passifs dont les domaines de fonctionnement correspondent a ceux du générateur de signal et de la sonde. Sa fonction est de stimuler l'ensemble sonde/matériaux.  - The signal injector (5) can be produced on the basis of transistors, operational amplifiers, integrated circuits and passive components whose operating domains correspond to those of the signal generator and the probe. Its function is to stimulate the probe / material combination.

- Le générateur de signal (6) est un oscillateur qui peut etre réalisé pour générer un seul signal très spécifique a un type de matériaux a analyser. Dans certaines applications plusieurs types de signaux peuvent être injectes successivement en caracterisant l'amplitude, la forme, la frequence, la puissance, la composition spectrale, la durée d'injection, la fréquence de répétition de l'injection. - The signal generator (6) is an oscillator which can be produced to generate a single signal very specific to a type of material to be analyzed. In certain applications, several types of signals can be injected successively by characterizing the amplitude, the shape, the frequency, the power, the spectral composition, the duration of injection, the frequency of repetition of the injection.

- L'analyseur XY (7) permet d'échantillonner la fonction de transfert (ou la signature électronique) pour la rendre exploitable par le comparateur. Il comporte un convertisseur analogique-numOrique et de la logique de synchronisation avec le générateur de signal. Les grandeurs analyses pour déterminer la signature électronique dépendent du matériaux, ce peut etre un relevé cou rant/tension ou impédance/fréquence.  - The XY analyzer (7) samples the transfer function (or the electronic signature) to make it usable by the comparator. It includes an analog-to-digital converter and synchronization logic with the signal generator. The quantities analyzed to determine the electronic signature depend on the materials, it can be a current / voltage or impedance / frequency reading.

- Le comparateur et le sequenceur (8) sont realises soit a partir d'un microprocesseur ou microcontro leur, soit a partir d'un systeme informatique. La logique est donc développée sous la forme de logiciel. - The comparator and the sequencer (8) are produced either from a microprocessor or microcontroller, or from a computer system. The logic is therefore developed in the form of software.

Elles peuvent se présenter sous la forme de me- moire morte (ROM) ou de disque dur ou souple suivant le système séquenceur utilisé. - The comparison database (9) is a memory which contains previously established information. They can be in the form of read-only memory (ROM) or of hard or flexible disk according to the sequencing system used.

- L'affichage du résultat de l'analyse (10) peut prendre plusieurs formes en fonction de l'application de l'appareil développe : affichage simple pour analyse qualitative, ou plus complexe pour l'analyse quantitative. - The display of the analysis result (10) can take several forms depending on the application of the device developed: simple display for qualitative analysis, or more complex for quantitative analysis.
