Capacitive electric field sensor of the present invention uses the mode of electric charge induction, but not non-polarizing electrode uses the mode of ion-exchange to obtain underground electric field potential, this working method determines capacitive electric field sensor can be placed in measurement ground being carried out earth electric field, and avoids the requirement of electrode pair grounding requirement.Capacitive electric field sensor of the present invention mainly comprises: battery lead plate, uses metal material to make, for inductively descending electric field; Prime amplifier, has and is not less than 10 12the input impedance of ohm, is converted to voltage signal for the electric field charge signal received by battery lead plate and amplifies; Short lead, for connecting electrode plate and prime amplifier; Sensor output, for exporting sensor signal; The outer box of optional sensor, uses nonmetallic materials to make, for protecting sensor; And optional insulated column, use and be not less than 10 12the insulating material of ohmcm body resistivity is made, and reveals to box outside sensor for preventing the electric charge on battery lead plate.
Improve the input impedance value of prime amplifier by the coupling capacitance that increases in capacitive electric field sensor between battery lead plate and the earth, and then widen the bandwidth of operation of capacitive electric field sensor, the low frequency environments of work to 10mHz can be made it.
Below by specific embodiment, the present invention is further elaborated.
In one embodiment of the invention, provide and be a kind ofly placed in the capacitive electric field sensor that ground just can be carried out underground electric field measurement.With reference to figure 2, capacitive electric field sensor of the present invention comprises: the battery lead plate 10 be made up of metal material, for receiving telluric electricity field signal, metal material can be the comparatively active metal of the chemical property such as copper, aluminium, also can be the metal of the chemical inertness such as titanium, tantalum; There is the prime amplifier 8 of the input impedance of superelevation, for the telluric electricity field received signal is converted to voltage signal, and carry out suitable amplification; For the conductor 12 of connecting electrode plate 10 and prime amplifier 8, conductor 12 surface is covered with the insulation course be made up of polytetrafluoroethylmaterial material; For the output coaxial cable 14 that sensor exports, output line 14 is connected with the output of prime amplifier 8; The outer box 9 of the sensor be made up of nonmetallic materials, nonmetallic materials can be the macromolecular materials such as phenolics, polycarbonate, teflon, for protecting sensor; The insulated column 11 be made up of teflon or polyamide material, battery lead plate 10 and the outer box 9 of sensor not only can separate by insulated column 11, ensure there is sufficiently high impedance between the two, play the effect of fixed plate electrode 10 simultaneously.In addition, capacitive electric field sensor also comprise for give the interface 15 of sensor power and the switch 13 for opening or close stop sensor.
The outer box of sensor owing to using low conductivity macromolecular material to make between battery lead plate 10 and the earth 16 and insulated column 11 separate, there is not electrical connection between the two, battery lead plate and the earth and insulator wherein can be equivalent to a capacitor Ccouple, as shown in Figure 3, the electric field potential of the earth to battery lead plate, therefore claims this electric-field sensor to be capacitive electric field sensor by capacitor-coupled.These are different from traditional non-polarizing electrode, and non-polarizing electrode carries out redox reaction by the electrolyte in electrode and the ion in the earth, and then on electrode, produce the potential value with telluric electricity field electromotive force equivalence.There is real current path between non-polarizing electrode and the earth, and capacitive electric field sensor is the electric field potential being obtained the earth by capacitive coupling, between sensor and the earth, there is not real current path.But different from early stage capacitive electric field sensor, the lowest operating frequency of capacitive electric field sensor of the present invention can reach 10mHz, and early stage capacitive electric field sensor is many in audio frequency section.
Note telluric electricity field electromotive force is Vs, and the input resistance of prime amplifier 8 is Rin, input capacitance is Cin, and so the input terminal voltage Vin of pre-amplification circuit 8 is:
Win = Rin | | 1 / jωCin 1 / jωCcouple + Rin | | 1 / jωCin · Vs = jωCcoupleRin 1 + jωCcoupleRin + jωCinRin - - - ( 1 )
Suppose j ω CcoupleRin > > 1, j ω CinRin > > 1, formula (1) can be reduced to:
Vin = Ccouple Ccouple + Cin · Vs - - - ( 2 )
Known when meeting certain condition, prime amplifier 8 input terminal voltage can set up simple linear relationship with telluric electricity field electromotive force, when meeting Ccouple > > Cin condition, prime amplifier 8 input terminal voltage can be approximately equal to telluric electricity field electromotive force.Conditional j ω CcoupleRin > > 1, j ω CinRin > > 1 then require that prime amplifier 8 has high input impedance.
The input capacitance of normally used amplifier is generally at about 10pF, after using suitable means, the input capacitance of amplifier can be reduced to below 1pF further, coupling capacitance Ccouple when between battery lead plate 10 and the earth is not less than 10pF, so can think that amp.in voltage is approximately equal to telluric electricity field electromotive force.In fact, the coupling capacitance realizing this magnitude is easy to.Suppose that battery lead plate 10 is the square of length of side 10cm, the distance d between battery lead plate 10 and the earth is 1cm, insulator relative dielectric constant ε between the two rbe 10, the earth be considered as good conductor, so
Ccouple = ϵ 0 ϵ r A d = 88 pF - - - ( 3 )
When filling the insulating material of huge dielectric constant between battery lead plate 10 and the earth, the electric capacity formed between the two will increase further.
Suppose the coupling capacitance Ccouple=100pF between battery lead plate 10 and the earth, the input capacitance Cin=10pF of prime amplifier, input resistance is Rin=10 12Ω, the Bode diagram of the transition function so between signal source and sensor output signal as shown in Figure 4.As seen from the figure, the low-frequency cut-off frequency of sensor is lower than 10mHz, and passband is smooth in bandwidth of operation.In addition suitable filtering link, can ensure that the bandwidth of operation of sensor is 10mHz ~ 10kHz.
In sum, capacitive electric field sensor can be operated in the frequency range of f >=10mHz, and free from errors can realize the measurement to underground electric field potential value.Relative to non-polarizing electrode, it without the need to watering salt solution, has greatly saved field work cost in use without the need to sensor is imbedded underground.Avoid the mistake that sensor causes because grounding requirement changes measuring simultaneously, can long time continuous working under the condition of satisfied power supply.Relative to early stage capacitive electric field sensor, capacitive character of the present invention can work tremendously low frequency, meets the frequency requirement of the multiple metering system such as CSMT, AMT.
Above-described specific embodiment; object of the present invention, technical scheme and beneficial effect are further described; be understood that; the foregoing is only specific embodiments of the invention; be not limited to the present invention; within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any amendment made, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
