Optical powder impurity detector

Details

Inventors: Zito, Richard R.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Nelms; David C.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

An optical method of detecting impurities in powders. The detector employs a laser (10) as a source of radiation which impinges upon a stream of powder and impurities as they are blown through a clear glass tube (14). The scattered radiation then stimulates photoresistors (18) so as to produce a signal which can be displayed and recorded on a chart recorder or computer display device (26).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A powder impurity detector, comprising: (a) a transparent tube which carries an impurity contaminated powder in a high speed flowing fluid, (b) a laser, which acts as a sourced of collimated radiation, so that said radiation can pass through said transparent tube, (c) an electrical means for detecting said radiation that is scattered by particles of said impurity contaminated powder, (d) a display and recording device so that signals produced by said electrical means can be analyzed, (e) a light-proof and dust-proof enclosure for all components, except said display and recording device, which prevents unwanted sources of radiation and dust from interfering with signals produced by said electrical means, (f) a digital to analogue convertor so that under suitable conditions signals can be sent from said display and recording device to prevent the contaminated powders from being processed.
2.
The invention of claim 1 wherein said electrical means consists of two photoresistors placed so as to capture the radiation scattered into a direction which deviates from the original beam heading by about 18 degrees and each said photoresistor is attached to the back panel on the interior of said enclosure.
3.
A powder impurity detector, comprising: (a) a transparent tube which carries an impurity contaminated powder in a high speed flowing fluid, (b) a laser, which acts as a source of collimated radiation, so that said radiation can pass through said transparent tube, (c) a light-proof and dust-proof enclosure which prevents unwanted sources of radiation and dust from interfering with said radiation passing through said transparent tube, (d) two photoresistors for detecting the optical radiation, each said photoresistor being places so as to capture radiation scattered into a direction which deviates from the original beam heading by about 18 degrees and each said photoresistor is attached to the back panel on the interior of said enclosure, (e) a display and recording device so that said radiation scatterred from impurities and powder particles in said transparent tube may be analyzed
