The PCT International Patent Application was filed and published in Chinese.
The present application relates to a field of photoelectric detection technology, in particular to an infrared sensor and an infrared gas detector having the infrared sensor.
A gas sensor is a gas sensing device which is based on selection absorption characteristics of near-infrared spectra of different gas molecules, and uses the relationship between gas concentration and absorption intensity to identify gas components and determine its concentration. In related technologies, graphene/silicon photodetectors are photoelectric effect infrared photodetectors in which graphene films are combined with silicon substrates to form graphene/silicon Schottky junction. The photo-generated carriers generated by the incident infrared light waves and absorbed by the graphene films are quickly separated by the graphene/silicon Schottky to form a photo-generated current.
The graphene phototransistor is an infrared photodetector of the photoelectric effect, which includes a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode. When a voltage is applied between the source electrode and the drain electrode without light, a dark current is generated in the graphene film. The photo-generated carriers generated by the incident infrared light waves absorbed by the graphene films are separated by an electric field between the source electrode and the drain electrode to form the photo-generated current.
However, the existing graphene/silicon photodetectors and graphene phototransistors can only achieve broad spectrum absorption, but cannot only absorb light waves of characteristic wavelengths, which reduces the selective performance of the detector.
To this end, one aspect of the present application provides an infrared sensor which enhances the absorption of infrared light. The infrared sensor is capable of absorbing only specific infrared wavelengths, which improves the performance of a detector.
Another aspect of the present application also provides an infrared gas detector.
The infrared sensor according to embodiments of a first aspect of the present application includes: a first electrode; a substrate which is provided on an upper surface of the first electrode; an isolation layer which is provided on an upper surface of the substrate; a second electrode which is provided on an upper surface of the isolation layer; and a graphene film which is covered on the second electrode. The graphene film has periodic nanostructures.
According to the infrared sensor of the embodiments of the present application, by arranging periodic nanostructures on the graphene film, the absorption of infrared light is enhanced and only specific infrared wavelengths can be absorbed, thereby improving the performance of the detector.
In some embodiments, the isolation layer is provided with a first window and a first inner side surface surrounding the first window, and the first window is used to expose part of the upper surface of the substrate. The second electrode is provided with a second window and a second inner side surface surrounding the second window. The first window and the second window are arranged correspondingly. The graphene film is covered on part of the upper surface of the substrate, the first inner side surface of the isolation layer, the second inner side surface of the second electrode and the upper surface of the second electrode.
In some embodiments, there are a plurality of the first windows which are evenly spaced. There are a plurality of the second electrodes and a plurality of the graphene films. An outer periphery of each first window is surrounded by one of the second electrodes, and the upper surface of each second electrode is covered with one of the graphene films.
In some embodiments, the graphene film has the periodic nanostructures on a part of the upper surface of the substrate. A projection of the graphene film on a horizontal plane is located within a projection of the second electrode on the horizontal plane. The graphene film is a doped graphene film or a composite graphene film.
In some embodiments, the infrared sensor further includes a third electrode provided on the upper surface of the isolation layer. The second electrode and the third electrode are spaced apart from each other. The graphene film is covered on the upper surface of the isolation layer between the second electrode and the third electrode, the inner surface of the second electrode opposite to the third electrode, the inner side of the third electrode opposite to the second electrode, at least part of the upper surface of the second electrode and at least part of the upper surface of the third electrode. The periodic nanostructures are provided on a portion of the graphene film on the upper surface of the isolation layer.
In some embodiments, the graphene film includes a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other. The second electrode includes a first side away from the third electrode, the third electrode includes a second side away from the second electrode, the first edge is located inside the first side, and the second edge is located inside the second side
In some embodiments, the third electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected.
In some embodiments, the periodic nanostructures are a plurality of hole-like structures or doped structures.
An infrared gas detector according to embodiments of a second aspect of the present application includes a housing, an infrared light source and the infrared sensor according to any of the above embodiments. The housing is provided with a through hole, and the housing includes a first housing and a second housing connected to the first housing. The first housing has a first chamber communicating with the through hole. An inner surface of a side wall of the first housing is provided with a first reflection surface, a second reflection surface, a third reflection surface and a fourth reflection surface. The second housing is provided with a first channel and a second channel spaced apart from each other. The first channel is in communication with the first chamber, and the second channel is in communication with the first chamber. The infrared light source is arranged in the first channel. The infrared sensor is arranged in the second channel. An infrared light emitted by the infrared light source is transmitted to the first reflection surface along the first channel, and is reflected to the fourth reflection surface sequentially via the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the third reflection surface. The infrared light incident on the fourth reflection surface is reflected by the fourth reflection surface and is transmitted to the infrared sensor along the second channel. A plane on which an optical path of the infrared light in the first channel and an optical path in the second channel are located is a first plane. A plane where an optical path of the infrared light is reflected to the fourth reflection surface sequentially via the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the third reflection surface is a second plane.

Moreover, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features.

An infrared sensor and an infrared gas detector according to the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. In the present application, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
As shown in
In other words, the transmission paths of the infrared light are that the infrared light of the infrared light source 2 is transmitted to the first reflection surface 5 along the first channel 121 and reflected to the second reflection surface 6 via the first reflection surface 5 (as shown in
Specifically, material of the housing 1 is brass, aluminum alloy, plastic or glass etc. The infrared light source 2 may be an infrared light generated by heating and luminescence of the filament, or an infrared LED light source. It is understood that the configuration of the infrared light source 2 is not limited to this according to the present application.
According to the infrared gas detector of the embodiment of the present application, by transmitting the infrared light in two planes perpendicular to each other, making full use of the space of the infrared gas detector, it is possible to realize beam transmission with a large optical path in a smaller space. Therefore, the volume of the infrared gas detector can be reduced.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In other words, an outer peripheral profile of a cross section of the first housing 11 is substantially hexagonal. The first chamber 110 of the first housing 11 is surrounded by the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113, the fourth side wall 114, the fifth side wall 115 and the sixth side wall 116. The second side wall 112 and the sixth side wall 116 are parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other. The inner surface of the first side wall 111 is inclined by 45° from inside to outside along a direction from the first housing 11 to the second housing 12. Both of the third side wall 113 and the fifth side wall 115 are inclined by 45° with respect to the fourth side wall 114, and the angle between the third side wall 113 and the fifth side wall 115 is 90°. The first reflection surface 5 and the fourth reflection surface 8 are provided on the inner surface of the first side wall 111 and are spaced apart from each other. That is, both of the first reflection surface 5 and the fourth reflection surface 8 are inclined at 45° from the inside to the outside along the direction from the first housing 11 to the second housing 12. As a result, the first reflection surface 5 receives the infrared light in the first channel 121 and reflects it to the second reflection surface 6. The light incident on the fourth reflection surface 8 is reflected to the infrared sensor 3 along the second channel 122. The second reflection surface 6 is provided on the inner surface of the third side wall 113, and the third reflection surface 7 is provided on the inner surface of the fifth side wall 115. That is, an angle between the second reflection surface 6 and the fourth side wall 114 is 45°, an angle between the third reflection surface 7 and the fourth side wall 114 is 45°, and an angle between the second reflection surface 6 and the third reflection surface 7 is 90°. In this way, the light incident on the first reflection surface 5 is sequentially reflected on the fourth reflection surface 8 via the second reflection surface 6 and the third reflection surface 7.
Specifically, the fourth side wall 114 is perpendicular to the second side wall 112 and also perpendicular to the sixth side wall 116. The length of the fourth side wall 114 is smaller than the distance between the second side wall 112 and the sixth side wall 116. An included angle between the inner surface of the fourth side wall 114 and the inner surface of the third side wall 113 is 135°. An included angle between the inner surface of the fourth side wall 114 and the inner surface of the fifth side wall 115 is 135°. More specifically, the inner surface of the first side wall 111 includes a first inner surface and a second inner surface. The first inner surface and the second inner surface are spaced apart from each other, and the first inner surface is located inside the second inner surface. The first reflection surface 5 is provided on the first inner surface, and the fourth reflection surface 8 is provided on the second inner surface. That is, the first reflection surface 5 is located inside the fourth reflection surface 8.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the second housing 12 is provided below the first housing 11. Both the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are extended downwardly from an upper surface of a top wall of the second housing 12 and extend to a bottom of the second housing 12. In other words, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are arranged in sequence from a top-to-bottom direction and connected to each other. The first channel 121 and the second channel 122 both extend downwardly and extend from the upper surface of the second housing 12 to the bottom of the second housing 12.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Specifically, the circuit board 9 is provided with a signal processing circuit, which can obtain real-time data value of the infrared sensor 3 and perform filtering, amplifying, temperature compensation and digital-to-analog conversion on a voltage signal generated by the infrared sensor 3. The signal processing circuit can also modulate the infrared light source 2 in a pulse mode, so that the infrared light source 2 emits light periodically.
In some embodiments, the second housing 12 includes a second chamber 120 communicating with the first chamber 110. The through hole 4 is provided on the second housing 12. The through hole 4 includes a first through hole 41 and a second through hole 42. The first through hole 41 is disposed on the side wall of the second housing 12 so as to communicate with the second chamber 120. The second through hole 42 is provided on the top wall of the second housing 12 so as to communicate the second chamber 120 and the first chamber 110. Gas to be measured enters the second chamber 120 through the first through hole 41, and the gas in the second chamber 120 enters the first chamber 110 through the second through hole 42.
It is understandable that the through hole 4 is provided on the second housing 12 so that the gas enters the first chamber 110 of the first housing 11 through the second chamber 120 of the second housing 12, and the first housing 11 is not provided with a through hole communicating with the first chamber 110, thereby, it can reduce the leakage of the infrared light during the transmission process in the first housing 11, improve the utilization rate of the light source and the receiving rate of the infrared detector, thereby improving detection efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the first housing 11 is provided with the through hole 4.
Specifically, the first through hole 41 is provided on the side wall of the second housing 12 and the second through hole 42 is provided on the top wall of the second housing 12. Furthermore, there are a plurality of first through holes 41 and a plurality of second through holes 42. In other words, the side wall of the second housing 12 is provided with the plurality of the first through holes 41, and the top wall of the second housing 12 is provided with the plurality of second through holes 42 in order to improve air intake efficiency. In the description of the present application, “a plurality of” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
In some embodiments, as shown in
A partition is provided in the second chamber 120 to divide the second chamber 120 into a second left chamber and a second right chamber. The first through hole 41 on the second left side wall 123 communicates with the second left chamber, and the first through hole 41 on the second right side wall 124 communicates with the second right chamber. It is understandable that the second chamber 120 is separated by the partition in order to prevent the gas which enters the second chamber 120 via the first through hole 41 of the second left side wall 123 from leaking out via the first through hole 41 of the second right side wall 124, and prevent the gas which enters the second chamber 120 via the first through hole 41 of the second right side wall 124 from leaking out via the first through hole 41 of the second left side wall 123. Therefore, it is avoided that the gas to be measured cannot enter the first chamber 110 from the second chamber 120.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some alternative embodiments, the reflector cup 10 includes a cylindrical section 101 and a parabolic section 102. The parabolic section 102 is connected to an upper end of the cylindrical section 101. Specifically, an inner diameter of the cylindrical section 101 is consistent along an axial direction of the first channel 121. That is, the inner diameter of the cylindrical section 101 remains the same along the axial direction of the first channel 121.
The first channel 121 includes a first section 1211, a second section 1212 and a third section 1213 which are connected in sequence along a bottom-to-top direction. An outer peripheral profile of the cylindrical section 101 is adapted to an inner peripheral profile of the first section 1211. An outer peripheral profile of the parabolic section 102 is adapted to an inner peripheral profile of the second section 1212. An inner diameter of the third section 1213 is constant along the axial direction of the first channel 121. That is, the inner diameter of the third section 1213 remains the same along the axial direction of the first channel 121.
The reflector cup 10 having above structure is suitable for an infrared light source produced by heating and emitting light by a filament with a certain height. This structure can facilitate placing the light-emitting surface of the filament on a focal plane of a parabolic reflection surface of the parabolic section 102. It can be understood that the structure of the reflector cup 10 is not limited to this. For example, in other alternative embodiments, the whole reflector cup 10 is formed as the parabolic reflection surface. The reflector cup 10 of this structure is suitable for thinner infrared LED light sources.
In some embodiments, the inner surface of the side wall of the first housing 11 is coated with a gold film to form the first reflection surface 5, the second reflection surface 6, the third reflection surface 7 and the fourth reflection surface 8. In other words, the reflection surface is formed by a gold-coated film on the inner surface of the side wall of the first housing 11. Specifically, the inner surface of the side wall of the first housing 11 is polished before the gold film is coated, which is beneficial to total reflection of light, reduces loss and also avoid material oxidation.
The infrared sensor according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to
As shown in
The isolation layer 33 is provided with a first window 330 and a first inner side surface 332 enclosing the first window 330. The first window 330 can expose part of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32. In other words, the isolation layer 33 is provided with a through hole forming the first window 330, and the first window 330 is enclosed by the first inner side surface 332 of the isolation layer 33, so that part of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32 and the through hole form a groove structure. Therefore, a bottom wall surface of the groove structure is a part of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32, and a side wall surface of the groove structure is the first inner side surface 332 of the isolation layer 33.
The second electrode 34 is provided on an upper surface of the isolation layer 33. The second electrode 34 is provided with a second window 341 and a second inner side surface surrounding the second window 341. The second window 341 and the first window 330 are set correspondingly. In other words, the second electrode 34 does not cover the first window 330, but a second window 341 aligned with the first window 330 in a vertical direction is opened on the second electrode 34. Alternatively, the second electrode 34 surrounds an outer periphery of the first window 330. In other words, the second electrode 34 has the second window 341 extending through the second electrode 34 in the vertical direction of the second electrode 34 so that the second electrode 34 has a ring structure. The second window 341 is located above the first window 330 of the isolation layer 33, and the first inner surface 332 of the isolation layer 33 (that is, a sidewall surface of the groove structure) is on the inner surface of the second electrode 34 (that is, a wall surface of the second window 341) to fully expose the first window 330. Therefore, by arranging the second electrode 34 to surround the outer periphery of the first window 330, a circuit can be made more stable and collected signals can be stronger.
It can be understood that the present application is not limited to this. For example, the second electrode 34 does not surround a circumference of the first window 330, but is a part of the first window 330. That is, the second electrode 34 is an unclosed structure, such as the second electrode 34 is generally U-shaped, or the second electrode 34 is located only on one side of the first window 330.
Alternatively, an outer surface of the second electrode 34 is located inside an outer surface of the isolation layer 33. That is, the second electrode 34 is located in an area surrounded by a boundary of the isolation layer 33. Furthermore, the shape of the second window 341 is the same as the shape of the first window 330. That is, two cross sections (planes perpendicular to a top-to-bottom direction) of the first window 330 and the second window 341 are the same, and a cross-sectional area of the second window 341 is greater than or equal to that of the first window 330 in order to expose the first window 330. Furthermore, a center line of the second window 341 and a center line of the first window 330 may be overlapped. For example, as shown in
The graphene film 36 is covered on a portion of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32, the first inner side surface 332 of the isolation layer 33 (the wall surface of the first window 330), a second inner side surface of the second electrode 34 (the wall surface of the second window 341), and an upper surface of the second electrode 34. In other words, the graphene film 36 is laid on positions of the second window 341 and the first window 330. That is, the graphene film 36 is sequentially attached to the upper surface of the second electrode 34, the second inner surface of the second electrode 34, the first inner side surface 332 of the isolation layer 33 and a portion of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32. More specifically, a cross-sectional area of the graphene film 36 is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second window 341 so that the boundary of the graphene film 36 is located on the upper surface of the second electrode 34.
It can be understood that the graphene film 36 is not only a filter capable of absorbing characteristic wavelengths, but also an active film. Because graphene has metallic properties, it can be combined with a silicon substrate to form a Schottky junction. The photo-generated carriers generated by the characteristic infrared light waves absorbed by the graphene film 36 are quickly separated by the Schottky junction to form a photo-generated current. The infrared sensor according to the embodiment of the present application has advantages of fast response time and not being affected by external heat sources.
The graphene film 36 on a part of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32 is provided with periodic nanostructures 361. In other words, a portion of the graphene film 36 on the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32 is provided with the periodic nanostructures 361. Alternatively, the periodic nanostructures 361 are a plurality of hole-like structures, and a cross-section of the hole-like structure is in the shape of a circle, a square, a diamond or a triangle. For example, as shown in
It can be understood that the present application is not limited to this. For example, the periodic nanostructures 361 include a plurality of doping treatment structures. In other words, the periodic nanostructure can be obtained by doping the graphene film 36.
It can be understood that the infrared sensor 3 in the embodiment of the present application does not need to apply an additional external voltage. The graphene film 36 provided with the periodic nanostructures 361 is used as a filter, which can enhance the absorption of infrared light and only absorb specific infrared wavelengths to detect specific gases. Therefore, the selection performance of the detector is improved, the volume of the infrared sensor can be reduced, and the preparation and cost are easy.
Alternatively, the first electrode 31, the substrate 32, the isolation layer 33 and the second electrode 34 are sequentially arranged along a bottom-to-top direction. It can be understood that in the art, the first electrode 31 is generally referred to as a bottom electrode which can form an ohmic contact with the substrate 32. The first electrode 31 is a metal thin film electrode, and its metal material is gallium indium alloy, titanium alloy or aluminum. The second electrode 34 is generally called a top electrode. The second electrode 34 is a metal thin film electrode of which the metal material is aluminum, gold, or gold-chromium alloy.
Alternatively, when a side wall surface of the second window 341 of the second electrode 34 is located outside of the side wall surface of the first window 330, a part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33 around the first window 330 is exposed. The graphene film 36 is also covered on part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33. That is, the graphene film 36 is covered on a part of the upper surface 321 of the substrate 32, the first inner side 332 of the isolation layer 33 (the side wall surface of the first window 330), a portion of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33, the second inner side surface of the second electrode 34 (the side wall surface of the second window 341), and the upper surface of the second electrode 34.
In some embodiments, a boundary of the graphene film 36 is inside a boundary of the second electrode 34. That is, the sides of the graphene film 36 are on the upper surface of the second electrode 34. The sides of the graphene film 36 are spaced apart from an outer side of the second electrode 34, so as to leave a place for electrical connection on the upper surface of the second electrode 34. That is, the upper surface of the second electrode 34 is connected to a position where there is no graphene film 36. Furthermore, the second electrode 34 is substantially square, and the entire graphene film 36 is also substantially square. The sides of the square graphene film 36 are on the upper surface of the square second electrode 34, and the sides of the square graphene film 36 are spaced apart from the outer side of the square second electrode 34.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Furthermore, there are a plurality of second electrodes 34. One second electrode 34 is correspondingly disposed at each first window 330. The plurality of first windows 330 are evenly spaced, and the plurality of second electrodes 34 are evenly spaced accordingly. If the plurality of first windows 330 are arranged at uneven intervals, the plurality of second electrodes 34 are arranged at uneven intervals accordingly. It can be understood that, if the plurality of first windows 330 form an array and each first window 330 corresponds to one graphene film 36, then the plurality of graphene films 36 form an array accordingly. The array graphene film 36 can be prepared with the periodic nanostructures 361 of different periods, duty ratios and/or shapes, which can absorb different characteristic infrared wavelengths to detect a variety of specific gases.
For example, as shown in
Furthermore, the graphene film 36 has a single layer or multiple layers. With the multilayer graphene film 36, the absorption peak produces a blue shift and is close to the infrared light band, which is beneficial to the detection of infrared gas and increases the absorption of the characteristic wavelength at the same time.
In some embodiments, the graphene film 36 is a doped graphene film or a composite graphene film. In other words, chemical potential of the graphene film 36 can be changed by doping the graphene film 36 or using the composite graphene film. Alternatively, the graphene film 36 is doped by a chemical doping method. For example, when the graphene film 36 is doped with an oxidizing or reducing gas, the chemical potential of the graphene film 36 can be increased and the characteristic absorption peak is in the near-infrared light band, which is convenient for gas detection.
An infrared sensor according to another embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to
As shown in
The second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35 are provided on an upper surface of the isolation layer 33 and spaced apart from each other. In other words, the second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on the upper surface of the isolation layer 33. Alternatively, part of the upper surface of the isolation layer 33 is exposed between the second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35. The exposed upper surface is referred to as a partial upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33. Furthermore, a side surface of the second electrode 34 opposite to the third electrode 35 is a second inner side surface of the second electrode 34. A side surface of the third electrode 35 opposite to the second electrode 34 is an inner side surface of the third electrode 35. It can be understood that a gap between the second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35 is surrounded by the second inner side surface of the second electrode 34, part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33, and the inner side surface 51 of the third electrode 35. More specifically, as shown in
The graphene film 36 is covered on a part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33 (that is, the upper surface between the second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35), an inner side of the second electrode 34 opposite to the third electrode 35, an inner side surface of the third electrode 35 opposite to the second electrode 34, at least part of the upper surface of the second electrode 34 and at least part of the upper surface of the third electrode 35. In other words, as shown in
It can be understood that the graphene film 36 is not only a filter capable of absorbing characteristic wavelengths, but also an active film. Because graphene has metallic properties, it can be combined with silicon dioxide/silicon substrate to form a field-effect transistor photodetector. The photo-generated carriers generated by the characteristic infrared light waves absorbed by the graphene film 36 are quickly separated by the electric field between a source electrode and a drain electrode to form a photo-generated current. The infrared sensor according to the embodiment of the present application has advantages of fast response time and not being affected by external heat sources.
The graphene film 36 on a part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33 has periodic nanostructures 361. In other words, the part of the graphene film 36 on the part of the upper surface 331 of the isolation layer 33 has the periodic nanostructures 361. Specifically, the periodic nanostructures 361 are a plurality of hole-shaped structures, and a cross-section of the hole-shaped structure is a circle or a polygon such as a square, a rhombus or a triangle. For example, as shown in
It can be understood that the present application is not limited to this. For example, the periodic nanostructures 361 include a plurality of doping treatment structures. In other words, the graphene film 36 is doped to obtain the periodic nanostructures.
It is understandable that the infrared sensor uses the graphene film 36 with the periodic nanostructures 361 as a filter, which can enhance the absorption of infrared light and only absorb specific infrared wavelengths to detect specific gases. Therefore, the selection performance of the detector is improved, the volume of the infrared sensor can be reduced, and the preparation and cost are easy.
Furthermore, the first electrode 31, the substrate 32 and the isolation layer 33 are arranged in sequence along a bottom-to-top direction. The upper surface of the isolation layer 33 is provided with a second electrode 34 and a third electrode 35 arranged side by side and spaced apart from each other. It can be understood that in the art, the first electrode 31 is generally referred to as a bottom electrode, and can form an ohmic contact with the substrate 32. The first electrode 31 is a metal thin film electrode, and its metal material is gallium indium alloy, titanium alloy or aluminum. The second electrode 34 is called a source electrode, and the third electrode 35 is called a drain electrode. The second electrode 34 and the third electrode 35 are also metal thin film electrodes, and the metal material is aluminum, gold, or gold-chromium alloy.
In some embodiments, the graphene film 36 includes a first edge and a second edge which are opposite to each other. The second electrode 34 includes a first side away from the third electrode 35. The third electrode 35 includes a second side away from the second electrode 34. The first edge is located inside the first side, and the second edge is located inside the second side, so that the coverage area of the graphene film 36 on the upper surface of the second electrode 34 is smaller than the area of the upper surface of the second electrode 34, and the area covered by the graphene film 36 on the upper surface of the third electrode 35 is smaller than the area of the upper surface of the third electrode 35. As shown in
In some embodiments, the graphene film 36 has a single layer or multiple layers. With the multilayer graphene film 36, the absorption peak produces a blue shift and is close to the infrared light band, which is beneficial to the detection of infrared gas and at the same time increases the absorption of the characteristic wavelength.
In some embodiments, the third electrode 35 and the second electrode 34 are electrically connected, and the first electrode 31 and the third electrode 35 are electrically connected. Alternatively, a voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 is adjustable. The infrared sensor can change a chemical potential of the graphene film 36 by adjusting the voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31. Specifically, by adjusting the voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 to dope the graphene film 36, the chemical potential of the graphene film 36 can be increased, and the characteristic absorption peak is in the near-infrared light band, which facilitates gas detection. Moreover, by adjusting the voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31, detection of different specific gases can be realized, so that a variety of specific gases can be detected by the infrared sensor.
It is understandable that the above infrared gas detector can be used in various gas detection occasions. For example, it can be applied to air quality detection, air quality monitoring, smart security, and detection of carbon dioxide concentration in a vehicle.

Thus, as shown in
It is understandable that the infrared detector uses the graphene film 36 with the periodic nanostructures 361 as a filter, which can enhance the absorption of infrared light and only absorb specific infrared wavelengths to detect specific gases. Therefore, the selection performance of the detector is improved, the volume of the infrared sensor can be reduced, and the preparation and cost are easy.
According to the air quality monitoring device of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the infrared detector with different periodic nanostructures, it can detect a variety of different gases to realize multifunctional air quality detection.

In some specific embodiments, the control switch 900 includes a plurality of selection buttons 91. The plurality of selection buttons 91 are in a one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of second electrodes 34. That is, each selection button 91 corresponds to one second electrode 34.
Specifically, after activating one of the selection buttons 91, the first processor 200 sends a voltage control signal, and the first processor 200 receives the voltage control signal and sends a signal to the infrared sensor 3 to activate a second electrode 34. Therefore, the diode with the Schottky junction corresponding to the second electrode 34 works to detect a specific gas. By controlling different selection buttons 91, a plurality of second electrodes 34 can be activated respectively to detect a plurality of different gases. For example, as shown in

In some specific embodiments, as shown in

The first processor 200 receives the voltage control signal and sends a signal to the infrared sensor 3, and provides a voltage to the third electrode 35, so that the infrared sensor 3 detects a specific gas. Thus, by controlling different selection buttons 91, different voltages can be applied to the third electrode 35, thereby detecting a variety of different gases. For example, as shown in

The intelligent security device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to
The intelligent security device according to the embodiment of the present application includes an infrared gas detector 100, a first processor 200, a fire extinguisher 1000 and a warning device 500.
There are a plurality of infrared gas detectors 100 of which some can detect flames, and others can detect gas. Specifically, the characteristic wavelength of the flame is 4.4 μm, the gas to be detected is a hydrocarbon refrigerant gas, and the characteristic wavelength of the hydrocarbon refrigerant gas is 3.33 to 3.46 μm. For example, the characteristic wavelength of propane is 3.4 μm. The first processor 200 is communicatively connected with the infrared gas detector 100 to receive and process the output signal of the infrared gas detector 100 and output control signals. The fire extinguisher 1000 is communicatively connected with the first processor 200 to receive the fire extinguishing control signal sent by the first processor 200 when some of the infrared gas detectors 100 detect a flame, and spray fire extinguishing materials to the position of the flame. The warning device 500 is communicatively connected with the first processor 200 to receive the warning control signal sent by the first processor 200 and raise an alarm.

When the first processor 200 receives a leaked gas information detected by some other infrared gas detectors 100, after analysis and processing, it sends a warning signal to the warning device 500 so that the warning device 500 raises an alarm to remind the user that there is a flammable gas leak. Wherein, the specific alarm mode can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment.
Specifically, the intelligent security device according to the embodiment of the present application adopts the infrared gas detector 100 of the specific embodiment shown in
No voltage is applied between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 of some infrared gas detectors 100 among the infrared gas detectors 100 to detect flames. Specifically, the graphene film 36 in the infrared gas detector 100 has periodic nanostructures 361 on it. The periodic nanostructures 361 only absorb flame infrared characteristic light with a specific wavelength. It is not necessary to apply a voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 of the infrared gas detector 100 to realize flame detection.
Some other infrared gas detectors 100 among the infrared gas detectors 100 have a voltage applied between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 of the infrared gas detector 100 and the voltage is adjustable. The chemical potential of the graphene film 36 of the infrared gas detector 100 can be changed by adjusting the voltage between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 of the infrared gas detector 100. In this way, the infrared gas detector 100 can detect different specific gases, so that the infrared sensor 3 of the infrared gas detector 100 detects a variety of different gases.
According to the intelligent security device of the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of infrared gas detectors are provided, and a voltage is applied between the third electrode 35 and the second electrode 34 on some infrared gas detector to detect the flame, and a voltage is applied between the third electrode 35 and the first electrode 31 on some other infrared gas detectors and the voltage is adjustable to detect a variety of different gases, thereby simultaneously detecting gases and flames. Compared with the existing assembly of sensors of different structural forms, the intelligent security device assembles sensors of the same structural form together, so that the cost can be reduced.
In some embodiments, there are some infrared gas detectors 100 which are set in different directions to detect flames in different directions. It is understandable that by arranging the infrared gas detector 100 capable of detecting flames in different directions, flame detection can be performed in each direction, so as to improve the efficiency of flame detection. Specifically, the intelligent security device based on the graphene infrared detector also includes a control board. The infrared gas detectors 100 are respectively arranged on front, left and right sides of the control board to monitor whether there are fire sources in the three directions. In other words, the infrared gas detectors 100 are respectively provided on the front, left and right sides of the control board. It can be understood that the installation position and direction of the infrared gas detectors 100 are not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can determine according to the actual situation.
In some embodiments, the infrared gas detector 100 further includes a second processor 1001, and the second processor 1001 is communicatively connected with the infrared sensor 3 to receive and process the voltage signal sent by the infrared sensor 3.
In some embodiments, the infrared gas detector 100 further includes a signal processing circuit 1002.

In some embodiments, the fire extinguisher 1000 includes a motor and a spray assembly. The motor drives the spray assembly to be positioned according to the orientation of the flame detected by the graphene infrared detector to spray the fire extinguishing material to the flame. Specifically, the spray assembly can be rotated and positioned so that it is aimed at the flame. In addition, the fire extinguishing material may be dry ice.
Further, the first processor 200 can control the spray range of the fire extinguisher 1000 according to the position of the flame detected by the infrared sensor 3.
Hereinafter, a method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to
As shown in
detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle:
It is understandable that a gas infrared sensor 100 may be provided on the vehicle to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle. Specifically, the gas infrared sensor 100 is arranged at an air outlet of the air conditioning system to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide at the air outlet of the air conditioning system. Setting the gas infrared sensor 100 at the air outlet of the air conditioning system can facilitate the air circulation inside the gas sensor, improve the response of the gas infrared sensor 100, and quickly detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle.
obtain a growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the same time period, where the growth rate has a first preset growth rate and a second preset growth rate greater than the first preset growth rate:
It is understandable that the “same time period” in the growth rate of the carbon dioxide concentration in the same time period can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, the same time period can be one second, that is, the growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the first one second, the growth rate in the next one second, the growth rate in the following one second etc., to obtain the concentration of carbon dioxide in each one second rate of growth. The same time period can also be 2 seconds, that is, the growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide in every 2 seconds is obtained. Specifically, in the two preset growth rates of the concentration of carbon dioxide, one of which is a first preset growth rate, the other is a second preset growth rate, and the second preset growth rate is much greater than the first preset growth rate. In other words, when the growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide is less than or equal to the first preset growth rate, it means that the concentration of carbon dioxide increases slowly in the same time period. When the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide is greater than or equal to the second preset growth rate, it means that the concentration of carbon dioxide increases faster in the same time period. It is understandable that the specific values of the first preset growth rate and the second preset growth rate can be determined by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.
determine the source of carbon dioxide:
When the growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide is less than or equal to the first preset growth rate, the source of carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body. When the growth rate of the concentration of carbon dioxide is greater than or equal to the second preset growth rate, the source of the carbon dioxide is the leakage of the carbon dioxide refrigerant of the air conditioning system. In other words, when the concentration of carbon dioxide increases slowly, the main source of carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body. When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases rapidly, the main source of carbon dioxide is the leakage of carbon dioxide refrigerant from the air conditioning system. Since carbon dioxide is produced during human breathing, inside the vehicle is a closed environment, and the concentration of carbon dioxide will increase within a certain period of time. But if it is mainly carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body, the increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide will be slower. However, if the carbon dioxide refrigerant in the air-conditioning system leaks, which increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle, the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide will be faster.
According to the method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present application, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle can be detected, and the main source of carbon dioxide can be accurately judged according to the growth rate of the carbon dioxide concentration, so as to accurately determine whether the carbon dioxide refrigerant in the air conditioning system of the vehicle is leaking or not. By knowing whether the carbon dioxide refrigerant is leaking or not, it is possible to avoid harm to the human body, and at the same time to know whether the refrigeration of the air conditioning system is working normally.
In some embodiments, the air conditioning system has an external circulation and an inner circulation. The concentration of carbon dioxide has a first preset concentration and a second preset concentration smaller than the first preset concentration. The method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present application further includes that when the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds the first preset concentration, the external circulation is turned on.
In other words, there are two preset concentrations of carbon dioxide in the vehicle, one is the first preset concentration, the other is the second preset concentration, and the second preset concentration is much smaller than the first preset concentration. For example, the first preset concentration is 1500 ppm, and the second preset concentration is 500 ppm. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle exceeds the first preset concentration, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle exceeds the standard, and the air environment in the vehicle is dirty, which easily causes breathing difficulties for the human body and endangers human health. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is lower than the second preset concentration, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is normal, the air in the vehicle is good, and the human body breathes smoothly. It can be found that when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle exceeds the first preset concentration, the external circulation of the air conditioning system needs to be turned on for ventilation. That is, a fan is used to make the outside air enter the vehicle, and the air inside the vehicle is discharged to the outside of the vehicle by the fan.
Further, the method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle further includes: when the concentration of carbon dioxide is lower than the second preset concentration, the external circulation is turned off and the inner circulation is turned on. It is understandable that when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is lower than the second preset concentration, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is normal, the air is good, and the human body breathes smoothly. The external circulation of the air conditioning system can be turned off and the inner circulation can be turned on to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle. It is understandable that the inner circulation uses the existing air in the vehicle to circulate, which means the outside air is not allowed to enter the vehicle.
In some embodiments, the method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide in the vehicle further includes: determining that the source of the carbon dioxide is the leakage of the carbon dioxide refrigerant and closing the inner circulation and issuing an alarm. It is understandable that when it is detected that the main source of carbon dioxide in the vehicle is the leakage of carbon dioxide refrigerant, the air conditioning system should be turned off and an alarm should be issued in time to remind users to open windows for ventilation and avoid harm to the human body.

In some embodiments, the gas sensor for detecting the carbon dioxide concentration 100 is an infrared gas detector which includes an infrared detector and an infrared light source. The infrared light source is used to emit infrared light to the infrared detector. Specifically, the infrared light source 102 may be infrared light generated by heating and luminescence of a filament, or may be an infrared LED light source. It can be understood that the configuration of the infrared light source 102 is not limited to this in this application.
