Description
この発明は、ハロゲンランプを光源とする分析装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an analyzer using a halogen lamp as a light source.
ハロゲンランプと白熱電球とはいずれもタングステンフィラメントを用いているが、一般的にハロゲンランプの方が寿命が長い。これは、ハロゲンサイクルと呼ばれる現象に起因する。ハロゲンサイクルとは、ハロゲンランプのフィラメントに通電するとフィラメントを構成するタングステンが蒸発するが、蒸発したタングステンは電球内に封入されたハロゲンと反応して、ハロゲン化タングステンを形成し、再びフィラメント上で固体化し、この循環を繰り返す現象をいう。このため、ハロゲンランプは断線が起こりにくく長寿命であり、光吸収法を用いた分析装置の光源等に好適に用いられている。 Both halogen lamps and incandescent bulbs use tungsten filaments, but generally halogen lamps have a longer life. This is due to a phenomenon called a halogen cycle. In the halogen cycle, the tungsten constituting the filament evaporates when the filament of the halogen lamp is energized, but the evaporated tungsten reacts with the halogen enclosed in the bulb to form tungsten halide, and again solid on the filament This is a phenomenon that repeats this cycle. For this reason, the halogen lamp is less likely to cause disconnection and has a long life, and is suitably used as a light source of an analyzer using a light absorption method.
しかしながら、ハロゲン化タングステンはフィラメントの温度の低い部分(フィラメントの太い部分)に集まる性質があり、必ずしも元の蒸発した部分(フラメントが細く温度が高い部分)に戻らないため、フィラメントの太さは次第に不均一になり、やがて断線する。 However, tungsten halide has the property of gathering in the low temperature part of the filament (the thick part of the filament) and does not necessarily return to the original evaporated part (the part where the fragment is thin and the temperature is high), so the thickness of the filament gradually increases. It becomes uneven and eventually breaks.
白熱電球はフィラメントを構成するタングステンが蒸発すると電球の壁面内部に付着し黒化するとともに、フィラメントが徐々に細くなり電流が流れにくくなる結果光量が減少するので、その寿命は光量の減退から予測することができる。また、フィラメントを使用しないキセノンランプでも同様に光量の減退から寿命を予測することが可能である(特許文献1)。 Incandescent light bulbs are attached to the inside of the bulb wall when the tungsten that forms the filaments evaporates, and the filaments become thinner and the current does not flow easily. be able to. Similarly, a xenon lamp that does not use a filament can predict the life from the decrease in the amount of light (Patent Document 1).
これに対して、ハロゲンランプではハロゲンサイクルの作用でフィラメントが細くなりにくく、タングステンの蒸発によって起こる管壁黒化の発生も殆どなく、寿命末期まで光量が一定である。 On the other hand, in the halogen lamp, the filament is unlikely to be thinned by the action of the halogen cycle, and there is almost no occurrence of tube wall blackening caused by evaporation of tungsten, and the amount of light is constant until the end of its life.
このため、ハロゲンランプは白熱電球等の一般的なランプに比べ、光量低下度合いや光量低下率の変化で寿命を判断することが難しく、従来はハロゲンランプが切れた時点で警報を出して光源を交換することしか対処法はなかった。 For this reason, it is difficult to judge the life of halogen lamps based on changes in the amount of light reduction or the rate of reduction in light intensity compared to general lamps such as incandescent bulbs. The only solution was to replace it.
また、一定の期間が経過したハロゲンランプは断線していなくても定期的に交換するという手段も考えられるが、この方法では、個々の製品ごとに寿命に大きなバラツキのあるハロゲンランプでは、その交換時期を短寿命のものに合わせることになり、手間及びコスト面からかなりの損失が発生するという問題がある。 In addition, it is possible to replace the halogen lamp after a certain period of time even if it is not disconnected. However, in this method, it is necessary to replace halogen lamps that have a large variation in life for each product. There is a problem that considerable loss occurs in terms of labor and cost because the time is adjusted to that of a short life.
そこで本発明は、ハロゲンランプ光源が寿命によって切れる前に、その寿命を予測し、警告を発する分析装置を提供すべく図ったものである。 Accordingly, the present invention is intended to provide an analyzer that predicts the life of a halogen lamp light source before it expires and issues a warning.
本発明者は、ハロゲンランプの寿命(断線)が近づくと光量が大きく上下に変動し不安定になることを見出し、この知見に基づき本発明を完成した。 The present inventor found that the light amount greatly fluctuates up and down and becomes unstable as the halogen lamp life (breakage) approaches, and has completed the present invention based on this finding.
すなわち本発明に係る分析装置は、ハロゲンランプを備えているものであって、 前記ハロゲンランプから射出された光の光量について、ある時点の光量R1に対する所定時間経過後の光量R2の変化率(R2−R1)/R1を算出する演算部と、前記変化率が|(R2−R1)/R1|>Xとなると警告信号を出力する判定部を備えていることを特徴とする。 That is, the analyzer according to the present invention includes a halogen lamp, and the change rate (R2) of the light amount R2 after a predetermined time has elapsed with respect to the light amount R1 at a certain point in time with respect to the light amount emitted from the halogen lamp. -R1) / R1 and a determination unit that outputs a warning signal when the rate of change is | (R2-R1) / R1 |> X.
図3は寿命(断線)が近いハロゲンランプの光量の一例を示すグラフである。図3に示すように、正常なハロゲンランプではその光量はほぼ一定であるが、寿命が近づくとその光量は単純に減退するのではなく不安定になり上下に大きく変動する。これはハロゲンサイクルの結果、フィラメントの太さが不均一になったことに起因すると考えられる。このため、光量の安定性、即ち所定時間あたりの変化率を指標とすることにより、ハロゲンランプの寿命を予測することが可能となる。 FIG. 3 is a graph showing an example of the light amount of a halogen lamp having a near life (disconnection). As shown in FIG. 3, the light amount of a normal halogen lamp is substantially constant, but when the lifetime approaches, the light amount does not simply decrease but becomes unstable and greatly fluctuates up and down. This is considered to be due to the non-uniform filament thickness as a result of the halogen cycle. For this reason, it is possible to predict the life of the halogen lamp by using the stability of the light quantity, that is, the rate of change per predetermined time as an index.
このような本発明に係る分析装置によれば、光量の所定時間あたりの変化率を指標としてハロゲンランプの寿命を予測することにより、単なる光量の低下率では寿命を判断することが難しいハロゲンランプの寿命を的確に検知することができる。また、個々のハロゲンランプ毎に寿命を判定するので、個々の製品毎に寿命に差のあるハロゲンランプを寿命が来るまで使うことができ、一律にハロゲンランプの交換時期を設定するよりコストの削減につながる。また、連続使用している際にハロゲンランプが突然断線することを防げ、ハロゲンランプが寿命を迎える前の適当な時期に交換することが可能となる。 According to such an analyzer according to the present invention, by predicting the life of a halogen lamp using the rate of change of the light quantity per predetermined time as an index, it is difficult to determine the life of a halogen lamp with a simple light quantity reduction rate. The life can be accurately detected. In addition, because the lifetime is determined for each individual halogen lamp, it is possible to use halogen lamps with different lifetimes for each individual product until the end of the lifetime, reducing costs compared to setting a uniform halogen lamp replacement period. Leads to. Further, it is possible to prevent the halogen lamp from being suddenly disconnected during continuous use, and to replace it at an appropriate time before the halogen lamp reaches the end of its life.
なお、演算部で算出する光量の所定時間あたりの変化率を(R2−R1)/R1×100とし、判定部での基準値は±x(x=100X)としてもよい。 Note that the rate of change of the light amount calculated by the calculation unit per predetermined time may be (R2−R1) / R1 × 100, and the reference value in the determination unit may be ± x (x = 100X).
本発明に係る分析装置は、測定対象溶液に光を照射するハロゲンランプからなる光源と、この溶液を透過した光の分光スペクトルを検出する検出器とを備えている、光吸収法を利用した分析装置に適用できる。図4は、光吸収法の測定結果の一例を示すグラフであるが、光吸収法では、図4に示すように、測定対象溶液を透過していないリファレンス光の光量と、測定対象溶液を透過したサンプル光の光量を測定し、これらの光量の比からセル内の測定対象溶液の吸光度を算出する。 An analysis apparatus according to the present invention comprises a light source comprising a halogen lamp that irradiates light to a solution to be measured, and a detector that detects a spectral spectrum of the light that has passed through the solution, and uses an optical absorption method for analysis. Applicable to equipment. FIG. 4 is a graph showing an example of the measurement result of the light absorption method. In the light absorption method, as shown in FIG. 4, the amount of reference light that does not pass through the measurement target solution and the measurement target solution are transmitted. The amount of sample light is measured, and the absorbance of the solution to be measured in the cell is calculated from the ratio of these amounts of light.
本発明に係る分析装置が光吸収法を用いたものである場合、リファレンス光は、サンプル光とは異なり、測定対象溶液を透過しないため測定対象溶液の変化の影響を受けないので、前記ハロゲンランプの光量の変化率は、リファレンス光の光量に基づいて算出するのが好ましい。 When the analyzer according to the present invention uses a light absorption method, unlike the sample light, the reference light does not pass through the measurement target solution and is not affected by the change in the measurement target solution. It is preferable to calculate the change rate of the light amount based on the light amount of the reference light.
光吸収法を用いる分析装置が連続測定を行っている場合、通常一度リファレンス光の光量を測定するとその値を所定時間使用して吸光度を算出するが、前記判定部が警告信号を出力した後は、分析の精度を保つために、リファレンス光の光量を測定する時間間隔が短くなるように、例えば1〜60分の間で変更するように構成してあってもよい。 When the analyzer using the light absorption method is performing continuous measurement, when the light amount of the reference light is measured once, the value is used for a predetermined time to calculate the absorbance, but after the determination unit outputs a warning signal, In order to maintain the accuracy of the analysis, the time interval for measuring the light amount of the reference light may be changed , for example, between 1 and 60 minutes.
分析装置が長期間の連続測定を行っている場合に、光源が突然寿命を迎えると測定の中断を余儀なくされ、特にその分析装置が分析結果をフィードバックするシステムの一部に組み込まれている場合、影響はシステム全体に及ぶ。このため、本発明は特に連続測定を行う分析装置に好ましく適用される。 When the analyzer performs long-term continuous measurement, if the light source suddenly reaches the end of its life, the measurement must be interrupted, especially if the analyzer is part of a system that feeds back analysis results. The impact is on the entire system. For this reason, the present invention is particularly preferably applied to an analyzer that performs continuous measurement.
このように本発明によれば、ハロゲンランプの光量の所定時間あたりの変化率を指標とすることにより、ハロゲンランプの寿命を的確に検知することができる。 Thus, according to the present invention, the lifetime of the halogen lamp can be accurately detected by using the rate of change per unit time of the light amount of the halogen lamp as an index.
以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る分析装置1を図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, an analyzer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
本実施形態に係る分析装置1は、図1に示すように、本装置に導入された測定対象溶液Sから気泡Bを分離する脱泡槽2と、気泡Bが分離された測定対象溶液Sを流通させる主流路9aと、測定対象溶液Sから分離した気泡B(厳密には多少の測定対象溶液Sも含まれている)を流通させる副流路9bと、主流路9a上に設けられた分析系と、分析系に接続されてハロゲンランプの寿命を監視する機器群とを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the analyzer 1 according to the present embodiment includes a defoaming tank 2 that separates the bubbles B from the measurement target solution S introduced into the apparatus, and a measurement target solution S from which the bubbles B are separated. The main flow path 9a to be circulated, the sub-flow path 9b to circulate the bubbles B separated from the measurement target solution S (strictly, some measurement target solution S is included), and the analysis provided on the main flow path 9a And a group of devices connected to the analysis system for monitoring the life of the halogen lamp.
各部を詳述する。前記脱泡槽2は、測定対象溶液Sの流速及び粘度等の特性に従って適宜の容量を有する密閉容器からなる。前記脱泡槽2で、測定対象溶液Sから気泡Bが分離され、気泡Bが分離された測定対象溶液Sは主流路9aへ、一方分離された気泡Bは副流路9bへそれぞれ流通される。 Each part will be described in detail. The defoaming tank 2 is composed of a sealed container having an appropriate capacity in accordance with characteristics such as the flow rate and viscosity of the solution S to be measured. In the defoaming tank 2, the bubbles B are separated from the measurement target solution S, the measurement target solution S from which the bubbles B have been separated flows into the main flow path 9a, and the separated bubbles B flow into the sub flow path 9b. .
主流路9a上には、光吸収法を用いた分析系が設けてある。当該分析系は具体的には、主流路9aを流通する測定対象溶液Sが連続してその内部を通過するセル4に、光源であるハロゲンランプ3から光を照射し、セル4を透過した光の分光スペクトルを検出器5で検出し、セル4内の測定対象溶液Sによる光の吸収度合いを測定して測定対象溶液Sの成分を分析するように構成してある。一般的に、測定対象溶液Sを透過した光をサンプル光、測定対象溶液Sを透過していない光をリファレンス光と呼び、この2つの光量の比から、測定対象溶液Sによる光の吸収度合い(吸光度)が算出される。このため、セル4はサンプル光測定を行うためのサンプル光測定位置とリファレンス光測定を行うためのリファレンス光測定位置とに移動自在に構成されている(例えば特開2002−82050号参照)。 An analysis system using a light absorption method is provided on the main channel 9a. Specifically, the analysis system irradiates the cell 4 through which the measurement target solution S flowing through the main flow path 9a continuously passes through the cell 4 with light from the halogen lamp 3 serving as a light source, and transmits the light transmitted through the cell 4. Is detected by the detector 5, the degree of light absorption by the measurement target solution S in the cell 4 is measured, and the components of the measurement target solution S are analyzed. In general, light that has passed through the measurement target solution S is referred to as sample light, and light that does not pass through the measurement target solution S is referred to as reference light. From the ratio of these two light amounts, the degree of light absorption by the measurement target solution S ( Absorbance) is calculated. For this reason, the cell 4 is configured to be movable between a sample light measurement position for performing sample light measurement and a reference light measurement position for performing reference light measurement (see, for example, JP-A-2002-82050).
前記分析系には、ハロゲンランプの寿命を監視する機器群が接続されており、具体的には、検出器5で検出されたリファレンス光の光量の所定時間(例えば10分間)あたりの変化率を算出する演算部6と、前記変化率が一定の範囲を超えている場合は、警告信号を出力する判定部7と、前記警告信号を受信すると警報を発する警報装置8とが設けてある。 A device group for monitoring the life of the halogen lamp is connected to the analysis system. Specifically, the rate of change per predetermined time ( for example, 10 minutes ) of the amount of reference light detected by the detector 5 is calculated. There are provided a calculation unit 6 to calculate, a determination unit 7 that outputs a warning signal when the rate of change exceeds a certain range, and an alarm device 8 that issues an alarm when the warning signal is received.
演算部6においては、サンプル光は測定対象溶液Sの変動によって変化するので、測定対象溶液Sを透過しないリファレンス光を用いて光量の所定時間あたりの変化率を算出する。図3に示すように、ハロゲンランプ3からの光量が安定している場合は、リファレンス光量はほぼ一定である。しかしながら、ハロゲンランプ3が劣化して寿命が近づくと、リファレンス光量は不安定になり上下に大きく変動する。本実施形態では、演算部6は、ある時点でのリファレンス光量測定値をR1、所定時間経過した後の次の測定時でのリファレンス光量測定値をR2としたときの変化率(R2−R1)/R1を算出する。ここで、リファレンス光量測定の時間間隔は状況に合わせて適宜変更することができ、特に限定されない。 In the calculation unit 6, since the sample light changes due to the variation of the measurement target solution S, the change rate of the light quantity per predetermined time is calculated using the reference light that does not pass through the measurement target solution S. As shown in FIG. 3, when the light amount from the halogen lamp 3 is stable, the reference light amount is substantially constant. However, as the halogen lamp 3 deteriorates and nears its end of life, the reference light amount becomes unstable and fluctuates up and down. In this embodiment, the calculation unit 6 has a change rate (R2−R1) when R1 is a reference light amount measurement value at a certain time and R2 is a reference light amount measurement value at the next measurement after a predetermined time has elapsed. / R1 is calculated. Here, the time interval of the reference light amount measurement can be appropriately changed according to the situation, and is not particularly limited.
そして、判定部7では、|(R2−R1)/R1|>Xのとき、つまり光量の変化率の絶対値が規定の値Xより大きかったときに、ハロゲンランプ3の寿命が近づいていると判定し、警告信号を出力する。ここで、Xの値は、正の数であるがハロゲンランプ3の種類や使用条件によって異なり、限定されない。なお、ハロゲンランプに通電した直後は光量が不安定であるので、通電後光量が安定するまでの例えば30分間は警告信号を出力しないように判定部7を設定するのが好ましい。 In the determination unit 7, when | (R 2 −R 1) / R 1 |> X, that is, when the absolute value of the change rate of the light amount is larger than the specified value X, the life of the halogen lamp 3 is approaching. Determine and output a warning signal. Here, the value of X is a positive number, but varies depending on the type of halogen lamp 3 and usage conditions, and is not limited. Since the light quantity is unstable immediately after energizing the halogen lamp, it is preferable to set the determination unit 7 so as not to output a warning signal for, for example, 30 minutes until the light quantity after the energization is stabilized.
演算部6及び判定部7は、マイクロコンピュータ10を用いて構成している。このマイクロコンピュータ10は、CPU、内部メモリ、AD変換器等を有する。そして、内部メモリの所定領域に設定したプログラムに従ってCPUやその周辺機器を作動させることにより、演算部6及び判定部7として機能するように構成してある。かかるマイクロコンピュータ10は、汎用のものであってもよく、専用のものであってもよい。 The calculation unit 6 and the determination unit 7 are configured using a microcomputer 10. The microcomputer 10 includes a CPU, an internal memory, an AD converter, and the like. And it is comprised so that it may function as the calculating part 6 and the determination part 7 by operating CPU and its peripheral device according to the program set to the predetermined area | region of internal memory. The microcomputer 10 may be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer.
警報装置8は、LED等の発光体や、ブザーやスピーカ等の音声出力体等からなり、判定部7から警告信号を受信すると、ハロゲンランプから射出された光の光量の所定時間あたりの変化率が一定の範囲を超えていること、すなわちハロゲンランプの寿命が近いことを、光や音でオペレータ等に警告するものである。 The alarm device 8 includes a light emitter such as an LED, an audio output body such as a buzzer or a speaker, and the rate of change per predetermined time of the light amount emitted from the halogen lamp when receiving a warning signal from the determination unit 7. Is warned to the operator or the like by light or sound that the lamp is over a certain range, that is, the lifetime of the halogen lamp is near.
分析系における分析が終了した測定対象溶液Sは、主流路9aを流通し、脱泡槽2において分離され副流路9bを流通した気泡Bとともに、分析装置1外に排出される。 The solution S to be measured, which has been analyzed in the analysis system, flows through the main flow path 9a and is discharged out of the analysis apparatus 1 together with the bubbles B separated in the defoaming tank 2 and flowed through the sub flow path 9b.
本実施形態の分析装置1では、図2に示すように、ハロゲンランプ3の寿命が近づくとリファレンス光量は上下に大きく変動し、所定時間あたりの変化率(R2−R1)/R1はたびたび所定の値±Xを超える。変化率(R2−R1)/R1が所定の値±Xを超えると、それを認識した判定部7が警告信号を出力し、それを受信した警報装置8が光や音で警告を発する。 In the analyzer 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when the life of the halogen lamp 3 approaches, the reference light amount greatly fluctuates up and down, and the rate of change per predetermined time (R2-R1) / R1 is often a predetermined value. Exceed value ± X. When the rate of change (R2-R1) / R1 exceeds a predetermined value ± X, the determination unit 7 that recognizes the change outputs a warning signal, and the alarm device 8 that has received the warning signal issues a warning with light or sound.
このような本実施形態によれば、警報装置8が頻繁に警報を発するようになると、オペレータ等はハロゲンランプ3の寿命が近いことを察知できるので、ハロゲンランプ3が突然断線して寿命を迎える前にハロゲンランプ3を交換することが可能となる。また、光量の所定時間あたりの変化率を指標としてハロゲンランプ3の寿命を予測することにより、個々の製品毎に寿命に差のあるハロゲンランプ3を寿命が来るまで使うことができ、コストの削減にもつながる。 According to this embodiment, when the alarm device 8 frequently issues an alarm, the operator or the like can detect that the life of the halogen lamp 3 is near, so that the halogen lamp 3 is suddenly disconnected and reaches its life. It becomes possible to replace the halogen lamp 3 before. In addition, by predicting the lifetime of the halogen lamp 3 using the rate of change of light intensity per predetermined time as an index, it is possible to use the halogen lamp 3 having a different lifetime for each product until the end of the lifetime, thereby reducing costs. It also leads to.
なお、本発明は前記実施形態に限られるものではない。例えば、警報装置8は分析装置1に備わっていなくてもよく、外部の警報装置を本発明の分析装置1に接続して、警報を発するようにしてもよい。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the alarm device 8 may not be provided in the analyzer 1, and an alarm device may be issued by connecting an external alarm device to the analyzer 1 of the present invention.
また、本発明に係る分析装置は光吸収法を用いた分析装置に限定されず、ハロゲンランプを光源とするものであればいかなる種類の分析装置であってもよい。 Further, the analyzer according to the present invention is not limited to an analyzer using a light absorption method, and may be any type of analyzer as long as it uses a halogen lamp as a light source.
更に判定部7が一度警告信号を出力した後は、検出部5でのリファレンス光の光量を測定する時間間隔が短くなるように、判定部7が検出器5に測定条件の変更を指示する信号を出力するように構成しても良い。 Further, after the determination unit 7 once outputs the warning signal, the determination unit 7 instructs the detector 5 to change the measurement condition so that the time interval for measuring the light amount of the reference light in the detection unit 5 is shortened. May be output.
本発明に係る分析装置は、更に入力部や、モニタや、プリンタ等を備えていてもよい。 The analysis apparatus according to the present invention may further include an input unit, a monitor, a printer, and the like.
その他、本発明は、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変形が可能であることは言うまでもない。 In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
本発明によって、ハロゲンランプの断線により操業が突然又は不測に中断されることなく連続した分析が可能となる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to perform continuous analysis without interruption of operation suddenly or unexpectedly due to disconnection of the halogen lamp.
