  • Patent number: 11940375
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of fiber-optic gas sensing and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy, and reliability of a gas detection system is improved by actively selecting a working frequency of low noise interference combined with an optical fiber photoacoustic sensing probe capable of isolating high-frequency noise. A gas enters a photoacoustic microcavity through gaps on a sound-sensitive diaphragm after diffusing into a miniature air chamber through a plurality of micropores. Photoacoustic excitation light is incident into the photoacoustic microcavity through a fiber-optic collimator and then excited to generate a photoacoustic pressure wave to cause the sound-sensitive diaphragm to vibrate periodically. An end face of a single-mode optical fiber and the sound-sensitive diaphragm constitutes a fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interferometer measures a deflection of the diaphragm and inverts a concentration of the to-be-measured gas.

    Abstract: A water hardness detection probe, sensor, detection method and water softener are provided. The sensor includes a control unit which includes a processing module and a potential detection module. The detection probe includes a first probe and a second probe. When the first and second probes are both exposed in raw water, a potential between the first and second probes is regarded as first potential. When the first probe is in the raw water and the second probe is in softened water, the potential between the first and second probes is regarded as the second potential. The potential detection module measures the potential between the first and second probes. The processing module determines the water hardness of the softened water according to a difference between the first potential and the second potential. The sensor can detect the water hardness of the water softener in real time and eliminate detection deviations.
