Background
With the rapid development of national economy, the demand of people for energy is continuously increased, and oil resources are more and more frequently exploited, so that the threat of oil leakage to the environment is increased day by day. Petroleum and chemical products are inevitably leaked during production, transportation and storage, and the leaked petroleum or chemical products enter water bodies such as rivers, lakes, seas and the like to cause huge damage to the local ecological environment. Therefore, the real-time, rapid and effective monitoring and the identification of the components of the leaked substances for the leakage of the petroleum and the chemical products in the water body are key technical problems which are urgently needed to be solved in the field of environmental protection. At present, the technical development of revealing oil monitoring devices based on an ultraviolet fluorescence method is gradually mature, but the technical problem that real-time detection and effective identification are carried out on the components of the revealed oil is urgent to solve.
Common methods for detecting the components of the leaked oil products include two major types, namely physical and chemical analysis methods and spectral analysis methods. The chemical analysis method is relatively complex to operate, can be only carried out in a professional laboratory in most cases, has high requirements on professional quality of detection personnel, and has complex detection process, long time consumption and high detection cost although the detection result is accurate; the spectral analysis method is mainly based on methods such as an ultraviolet fluorescence method, an infrared spectrophotometry method and the like, has high sensitivity, is easy to operate instruments and equipment, and is widely applied at the present stage, but the method is mainly applied to online real-time alarm of leakage conditions and states of oil products in a water area, and is lack of component analysis of the oil products at present.
In the spectral analysis method, instrument equipment based on an ultraviolet fluorescence method is compact in structure and high in detection precision, when ultraviolet light is irradiated on an oil sample, electrons in molecules absorb energy and transit from a ground state to an excited state, the electrons can transit from the excited state to the ground state due to instability of the excited state, the energy is emitted from the transition process in a light emitting mode with the wavelength longer than that of the absorbed light, and the method is characterized in that the excited light is ultraviolet light, and the emitted light is blue-violet fluorescence with the wavelength longer and the frequency lower. The ultraviolet fluorescence method needs to emit ultraviolet light and detect incident excited fluorescence, if one device simultaneously completes the two functions, two light paths are generally needed to be separated, and the position of a detection target can only be the intersection point of the two light paths, so that the use of the detection device has certain limitation.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an oil product component detection apparatus based on a tunable fluorescence method, including an ultraviolet light source 9, a dichroic beam splitter 7, a condenser lens 10, a fiber collimator 5, an optical circulator 3, a fiber grating 4, and a fluorescence detector.
The tunable ultraviolet light source 9 generates ultraviolet light with different wavelengths to form incident light, the dichroic spectroscope 7 forms an angle of 45 degrees with the incident light, the dichroic spectroscope 7 shows a reflection characteristic to ultraviolet waveband light beams and shows a transmission characteristic to fluorescence waveband light beams, the reflectivity of the ultraviolet light and the transmissivity of fluorescence are close to 100%, and the incident light irradiates the dichroic spectroscope 7 at 45 degrees and is reflected at 45 degrees to form reflected light. The ultraviolet filter 8 is arranged between the ultraviolet light source 9 and the dichroic spectroscope 7, the ultraviolet filter 8 is arranged perpendicular to incident light, and the incident light can filter stray light except for specific wavelength after vertically passing through the ultraviolet filter 8.
For different oil products, the excitation ultraviolet light with different wavelengths can obtain the emission fluorescence with different wavelengths, and in order to detect various hydrocarbon substances in one oil sample, ultraviolet light with multiple wavelengths is needed to excite the sample and detect the emission fluorescence with specific wavelength under the excitation light. The ultraviolet light source 9 is a tunable ultraviolet light source to generate ultraviolet light with different wavelengths, and the ultraviolet light irradiates the oil product to excite the oil product to generate fluorescence with corresponding wavelengths. The tunable ultraviolet light source 9 may employ a plurality of ultraviolet LED arrays with different wavelengths, and in this embodiment, the tunable ultraviolet light source 9 employs an ultraviolet laser with adjustable wavelength, and controls a resonant cavity of the tunable ultraviolet laser through an external driving circuit to drive the ultraviolet laser to emit ultraviolet light with a specific wavelength.
The condensing lens 10 is arranged perpendicular to the reflected light, one side of the condensing lens 10, which is far away from the dichroic beam splitter 7, faces to the oil product, the reflected light vertically irradiates the condensing lens 10 and then irradiates to the oil product, specific molecules in the oil product are excited to generate a fluorescent reaction, fluorescent light with specific wavelength is emitted, the fluorescent light is scattered in all directions from the oil surface, and the fluorescent light parallel to the reflected light vertically enters the condensing lens 10 and is converged on the focus of the condensing lens 10. When the fluorescence transmitted through the condensing lens 10 passes through the dichroic beam splitter 7, since the transmittance of the dichroic beam splitter 7 for the fluorescence is close to 100%, the fluorescence can be transmitted through the dichroic beam splitter 7 substantially without loss.
The entrance port of the optical fiber collimator 5 is arranged at the focal point, and the fluorescence is collimated into parallel light, so that the fluorescence is gathered. The fluorescence filter 6 is arranged between the dichroic beam splitter 7 and the fiber collimator 5, and can filter out most of natural stray light in non-fluorescence bands and only leave fluorescence with narrow spectrum.
The first port of the optical circulator 3 is connected with the optical fiber collimator 5 through a first optical fiber 2.2, the optical fiber grating 4 is connected with the second port of the optical circulator 3, the optical fiber grating 4 filters fluorescence incident from the first port, wide-spectrum fluorescence is filtered into narrow-band fluorescence, the filtered fluorescence is emitted from the third port of the optical circulator 3, and the third port is connected with a second optical fiber 2.1.
The fiber grating 4 is a diffraction grating formed by periodically modulating the refractive index of the fiber core in the axial direction by a certain method, and is a passive filter device. In this embodiment, the fiber grating 4 is a tunable fiber grating, the adjustment of the fiber grating corresponds to the adjustment of the ultraviolet light source, the center wavelength of the fiber grating 4 is changed by applying different pressures to the fiber grating 4, stretching and compressing the length of the fiber grating 4, and the like, and the reflection wavelength of the fiber grating 4 is controlled, thereby playing a role in filtering. The wide spectrum fluorescence enters from the first port of the optical circulator 3 and exits from the second port to the fiber grating 4, and the fiber grating 4 converts the wide spectrum fluorescenceThe fluorescence is filtered to narrow-band fluorescence of a specific wavelength, which is reflected back from the second port and can exit the third port almost without loss and enter the second optical fiber 2.1. The ultraviolet light source and the fiber bragg grating are tunable, the peak value excitation ultraviolet wavelength and the peak value emission fluorescence wavelength of the oil product are in one-to-one correspondence, the ultraviolet light source and the fiber bragg grating can be adjusted according to the oil product to be detected, please refer to fig. 1, and lambda is obtained by adjusting the ultraviolet light source and the fiber bragg gratingk(k=1,…,n)Is a tuned ultraviolet wavelength, λ'k(k=1,…,n)Is the corresponding fluorescence wavelength, and can be analyzed and set through a fluorescent oil composition analysis algorithm.
The light sensing plane of the fluorescence detector is opposite to the second optical fiber 2.1, and the narrow-band fluorescence entering the second optical fiber 2.1 is emitted from the tail end of the second optical fiber 2.1 and finally vertically emitted to the light sensing plane of the fluorescence detector, so that an optical signal is converted into an electric signal. In this embodiment, the fluorescence detector is a photomultiplier tube 1. The photomultiplier 1 can convert a weak optical signal into an electric signal, the spectral response range of the photomultiplier comprises a wavelength range of 250nm-950nm, the peak response wavelength is in a blue-violet fluorescence band, and the detection efficiency of the peak wavelength is above 30%.
The photomultiplier 1 is composed of an avalanche diode array working in a Geiger mode, and when the photomultiplier normally works, the reverse working voltage of the photomultiplier is larger than the directional breakdown voltage of the avalanche diode, and when a single photon is incident to a light receiving area of the avalanche diode, avalanche pulse current can be generated. The current generated by the weak light signal on the photomultiplier tube 1 is very small, the photomultiplier tube 1 is connected with an amplifying circuit, and the weak current signal is converted into a voltage signal and amplified through the amplifying circuit. Because the avalanche diode array in the photomultiplier 1 needs reverse bias, the voltage signal obtained by the amplifying circuit is a negative voltage signal, the photomultiplier 1 is connected with a voltage conversion circuit, and the voltage is inverted by the voltage conversion circuit to obtain a positive voltage signal. The photomultiplier 1 is connected with a filter circuit, the photomultiplier 1 is connected with an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, the inverted voltage signal enters the analog-to-digital conversion circuit after high-frequency noise is filtered by the filter circuit, digital signals are obtained through analog-to-digital conversion, and the digital signals are analyzed through a fluorescent oil product analysis algorithm to determine whether the detected leaked oil product contains certain aromatic hydrocarbons and the components of certain substances in the oil product.
The outgoing light path and the incoming light path of a general optical device are structurally separated, a detection target can only be located at the intersection point of the two light paths, the detection range is limited, and the detection precision is reduced due to the fact that the oil surface light incoming surface and the oil surface light outgoing surface are not on the same plane. The technical scheme provided by the invention is that two light paths of an ultraviolet light emergent light path in front of a dichroic spectroscope 7 and a fluorescence incident light path in front of the dichroic spectroscope 7 are independent from each other, the ultraviolet light emergent light path in back of the dichroic spectroscope 7 and the fluorescence incident light path in front of the dichroic spectroscope 7 are multiplexed to a coaxial light path due to the reflection of the dichroic spectroscope 7 to ultraviolet light and the transmission of fluorescence, the coaxial light path enables a detection target to be positioned at any point of the coaxial light path outside equipment, the detection target is excited to fluorescence by the ultraviolet light, the fluorescence is focused on an optical collimator 5 at the focus of the detection target through a condensing lens 10 through the coaxial light path, the fluorescence is filtered through an optical circulator 3 and an optical fiber grating 4 and enters the light receiving surface of a photomultiplier 1, and because the wavelengths of the excited ultraviolet light and the emitted fluorescence of different components of leaked oil are, by adopting the corresponding relation, the determination of the leaked oil components can be realized by adopting a fluorescent oil component analysis algorithm.
The coaxial light path can make the fluorescence detector absorb fluorescence energy as far as possible while simplifying the light path structure, the distance between the target to be detected and the device can be changed within a certain range, the application scene is more flexible and changeable, the device user can complete the detection of the target to be detected quickly, the operation difficulty and complexity of the device are reduced, and the detection precision is improved simultaneously.
The ultraviolet light source 9 has tunable property, can emit ultraviolet light with various wavelengths in an ultraviolet band, selects excitation ultraviolet light with specific wavelength according to the characteristics of different leaked oil components to be detected, excites the oil to generate emission fluorescence with corresponding wavelength, and thus accurate fluorescence spectrum detection data is obtained.
