Abstract

A pulse-type gas identification system and a method of pulse-type gas identification in a specific environment. When the sensor is located in a specific place, a variable pulse-modulated voltage is sent to the sensor, so that the sensor outputs a first signal to the processing device. The processing device compares the first signal to the chemical matter characteristics signals to determine the composition and concentration of each component in the gas, and determines a detection voltage according to the first signal. Then, a square-wave pulse with the detection voltage is sent intermittently to the sensor, so that the sensor outputs a second signal to the processing device. The processing device compares the second signal to the chemical matter characteristics signal to determine the concentration variation of each component of the gas.

The present invention relates to a system and method, which is suitable for identifying the components of a number of volatile gases A known unity in space. Prior art · OK. A common gas sensing element 500 is generally provided with a main body 510, a voltage input terminal 520, and an output terminal 530, as shown in the figure. The main body 51 may include a substrate 512, an electrode 514, a sensing portion 516, and a heater 518, as shown in FIG. The sensing portion 516 is usually formed of a thin film of a metal oxide, for example, a thin film of tin dioxide (SnO2) to facilitate a catalytic reaction with a specific gas in the environment. When this gas sensing element 50 is used for concentration measurement, a voltage is input from the voltage input terminal 520, and the temperature of the thin film of the sensing portion 516 is changed through the heater 518 to reach a selected temperature value, for example, 400. ° C, so that the film reacts with a specific gas to be sensed in the environment, and changes the resistance value of the film, so that the voltage value output from the output terminal 530 changes, and an output signal is obtained. With the above-mentioned gas sensing element 500, when the concentration of a specific gas in the environment is different, the amount of reaction generated by the specific gas and the thin film of the sensing portion 516 is also changed due to the difference in the content of the gas molecules. Below the temperature, different sheet resistance values can be obtained.

In addition, if the specific gas contained in the ring is unknown, the conventional gas sensing element 50 0 cannot be used to discriminate its components. As mentioned above, the traditional gas sensing element can be used to measure the concentration of a specific gas. The method is to input a fixed voltage and change the temperature of the thin film of the sensing element to make the thin film and the specific gas to be sensed in the environment. A catalyst reaction is generated, and the resistance value of the film is changed. In this way, the output voltage can be changed, and an output signal can be obtained. For a specific concentration of a fixed gas, the traditional approach is to set the input voltage to optimize the film temperature; however, if the input voltage is changed to change the film temperature, the output signal will change accordingly.

Description of the invention (?) This can be applied to the space where the gas composition is easy to change, or it is easy to produce many different components. For example, the semi-open type requires only a single sensing element, and the space of the two bodies can be used. However, the effect of the component type and concentration of various specific gases is equal to that in the identification space. However, the gas sensing element is used for chemical wind treatment. There are still some problems, which are described below. The technology of negative identification of objects is currently generally used in gas sensing. 'Some occasions are closed specific several known compounds to measure one of a closed space, such as when a harmful gas is used in a laboratory or plant. The gas produced by applying gas sensation and the concentration of the field to be identified may be constantly changing for the composition; or although the class is limited to a specific few other unknown compounds. Due to the chemical substance identification system and method to identify the type and concentration, but using variable parts, scanning the full voltage range to identify the need to perform once, and has not repeatedly repeated the occasion for chemical substance identification occasions, or only need to In the environment: j, for example, when the concentration of the gas sensing element: f is changed, or the process response, it is expected that several elements will be generated to detect whether these harmful gases are in the mouth. In these cases, the type in a specific space is known, only the concentration will be unknown due to time and the type of the component, but the combination of the component type and the compound will not appear this. The pulse voltage input of the components to the gas sensing element is only necessary for the operation of the gas component type. As described above, when a conventional gas sensing element performs concentration measurement, a voltage is input to change the temperature of the thin film of the sensing part so that it reaches a selected temperature value.

Description of the invention (12) The sensing element 10 needs to be placed in a specific space, and a pulse power voltage module 21 is inputted through the voltage input terminal of the sensing element 10 (this embodiment The figure shows the pulse modulation (Pulse_Modulated voltage signal) from 0v to 6V shown in Figure 4A to the sensing element 10. In this way, the thin film sensing part of the sensing element 10 will be variable due to the pulse. The temperature changes due to voltage input. At this constantly changing temperature, the thin slab and the specific gas to be sensed in the environment will produce different catalyst reactions, so that the sensing element 10 outputs one brother and one output signal. For example, a varying pulsed voltage signal 'is transmitted to the processing device 30. In this way, the processing device 30 can determine the gas in a specific space according to the comparison between the first output signal and the signal of a known chemical substance characteristic (for example, the characteristic signal of the courtyard in Figure 4B and the hydrogen in Figure 4C). The first identification result, for example, the type of the gas component, and the component concentration of each component type. However, in addition to the above-mentioned operation which is the same as the conventional smart chemical substance identification system, in this embodiment, the processing device 30 determines a test voltage value according to the first output signal while determining the first result. In short, the processing device 30 first finds the maximum value of the output voltage of the first output signal, and determines the pulse variable processing f at 3 ° according to the maximum value of the output voltage of the first output signal, which can be greater than the ideal voltage value.

As shown in the two pulses, 2 弋 = will output a second output signal, such as in Figure 6β, ^ ^ The first output signal is compared with the signal of the characteristics of known chemical substances. The second identification result is, for example, a change in the concentration of a component in which the gas precursor is a species. Reading Fan i i must explain the reason why a voltage value larger than the ideal voltage value is used for measurement. Please refer to Figure 2.

With reference to the flow chart in FIG. 7, an embodiment of the pulsed chemical substance concentration measurement method is further described with an example. This example assumes that a specific space has a The gas (or volatile chemical substance) to be identified G 'When the chemical substance identification is started, f must first be steps S10 to S40 in FIG. 3B, and the signal of the characteristic of the known chemical substance is first generated in order to identify and compare the gas G , Its content will not be repeated.

Finally, processing The device 30 can compare the second output signal SG2 with a signal of a known chemical substance characteristic to determine the second identification result of the gas in the specific space, such as the change in the component concentration of each component type of the gas, etc. By the present invention Method, because each gas component uses the maximum value of the output voltage of the first output A 5 Tiger S G1 to determine an ideal voltage value corresponding to the maximum value of the output voltage in the pulse variable voltage, and is slightly larger than the ideal voltage value One of the voltage values is used as the test voltage value.
