Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical hydrogen sensor which comprises: (a) a sensing module including gasochromic thin film; (b) an optical module; and (c) an optical fiber which optically connects the sensing module and optical module. The optical module comprises (i) a light source which generates a light beam, (ⅱ) a light splitter which splits the light beam from the light source, (ⅲ) a collimating lens which converts the light beam split by the light splitter into parallel lights, (ⅳ) a quarter-wave plate which changes the polarizing direction of the parallel light beams having passed through the collimating lens by 90 °, (v) an object lens which collects the light beams that have passed through the quarter-wave plate, and (vi) a detector which detects the light reflected from the sensing module. The present invention applies an optical pickup such as a conventional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, and consequently the optical hydrogen sensor can be smaller. Furthermore, time and costs needed for manufacture can be greatly cut down if a cheap optical pick-up device is simply changed and applied to the optical hydrogen sensor.

수소 광센서 【기술 분야】  Hydrogen Optical Sensor [Technical Field]
본 발명은수소 광센서에 관한 것이다.  The present invention relates to a hydrogen optical sensor.
【배경 기술】 [Background technology]
유력 대체 에너지인 수소 에너지는 공기 중에서 4% 이상의 농도에서 폭발의 위험성이 있기 때문에 수소 에너지를 안전하게 사용하기 위해서는 수소의 누출을 검지하는 수소센서가 필수적이다. 수소 센서는 용도에 따라 공정용 센서와 누출검지 센서로 구분할 수 있으며 누출검지 센서는 미량의 수소 누출을 검지하는 누출 검지센서와 수소 누출이 예상되는 공간에서 수소의 누출올 검지하는 안전센서로 분류할 수 있다. 안전센서는 공기 중에서 수소 이외의 기체와 반웅하지 않고 안정적인 상태를 유지하다가수소 누출시 즉각적으로 검지할 수 있다.  Hydrogen energy, a potent alternative energy, is at risk of explosion at concentrations of more than 4% in the air, so a hydrogen sensor that detects a leak of hydrogen is essential for the safe use of hydrogen energy. Hydrogen sensors can be classified into process sensors and leak detection sensors according to their use.The leak detection sensors can be classified into a leak detection sensor that detects a small amount of hydrogen leakage and a safety sensor that detects a leak of hydrogen in a space where hydrogen leakage is expected. Can be. The safety sensor maintains a stable state without reacting with gases other than hydrogen in the air, and can immediately detect hydrogen leakage.
종래의 수소 센서는 수소가 수소센서 물질에 접촉되었을 때 물질의 저항이 변하는 성질을 이용하여 제작하는 전기적 센서와 마찬가지로 수소가 센서물질에 접촉되었을 때 물질의 색이 변하는 성질을 이용하여 물질을 투과하거나 반사하는 빛의 세기 차이로 수소를 검지하는 광학적 센서로 구분할 수 있다. 광학적 센서는 632 nm 파장의 반도체 레이저광을 광분리기로 나누어 하나는 레퍼런스 신호로 다른 하나는 센서부로 광케이블을 이용하여 연결한다. 센서부에 수소가 접촉되면 센서박막의 색이 변하게 되어 레이저 빛이 반사되는 정도가 달라지게 되며 포토다이오드로 반사된 빛의 세기를 측정하여 그 신호를 레퍼런스 신호와 비교하여 수소를 검지한다.  Conventional hydrogen sensor is similar to an electrical sensor manufactured by using a property of changing the resistance of hydrogen when it comes into contact with the hydrogen sensor material. It can be classified into an optical sensor that detects hydrogen by the difference in intensity of reflected light. The optical sensor divides the semiconductor laser light having a wavelength of 632 nm into an optical splitter and connects the optical signal to the sensor signal and the other to the sensor signal. When hydrogen is in contact with the sensor, the color of the sensor thin film is changed, and the degree of reflection of the laser light is changed. The intensity of the light reflected by the photodiode is measured, and the signal is compared with a reference signal to detect hydrogen.
도 1을 참조하여, 종래의 일반적인 수소 광센서의 등작원리를 설명하면 다음과 같다: 광원 (133)으로부터 발생되어 입사된 광은 입사한 빛의 반은 통과하고 반은 반사하는 광분리기 (132, beam splitter)로 분리되어 분리된 광 중 하나는 기준신호 (레퍼런스 신호)로 사용되고, 다른 하나는 광섬유 (150)를 통하여 센싱 모들 (120)의 수소 센서 박막인 가스채색박막 (111)으로 이동한다. 가스채색박막은 수소에 노출되었을 때, 음극채색물질인 텅스텐 산화물의 영향으로 박막의 색이 어둡게 변하게 된다. 어둡게 된 박막은 빛의 반사도가 떨어져 반사되는 광의 세기가 작게 되며, 반사된 광이 다시 광섬유 (150)를 따라 광분리기 (132)를 통과하고, 이어 검출기 (131)가 반사광의 세기를 측정하며, 그런 다음조절모들 (140)에 있는 기준신호와 비교하도록 설계된 회로에 의해 수소를 검지하게 된다. 본 명세서 전체에 걸쳐 다수의 논문 및 특허문헌이 참조되고 그 인용이 표시되어 있다. 인용된 논문 및 특허문헌의 개시 내용은 그 전체로서 본 명세서에 참조로 삽입되어 본 발명이 속하는 기술 분야의 수준 및 본 발명의 내용이 보다 명확하게 설명된다. Referring to FIG. 1, the equalization principle of a conventional hydrogen photoelectric sensor is as follows: Light generated from the light source 133 is incident to the light splitter 132 that passes through half of the incident light and reflects half of the incident light. One of the beams separated and separated by a beam splitter is used as a reference signal (reference signal), and the other is a hydrogen sensor thin film of the sensing modules 120 through the optical fiber 150.

The darkened thin film has a low reflectivity of light, and thus the intensity of reflected light decreases, the reflected light passes through the optical separator 132 along the optical fiber 150 again, and then the detector 131 measures the intensity of the reflected light. The hydrogen is then detected by a circuit designed to compare with the reference signal in the control caps 140.
