Abstract
Provided is a water examination device including: a main body; a fluid accommodation unit formed in the main body; a wave source for irradiating waves toward the fluid accommodation unit; a detector for detecting a laser speckle at every set time period that is set in advance, the laser speckle being generated due to multiple scattering of the waves in the fluid; a controller for estimating existence of impurities in the fluid in real-time by using the detected laser speckle; and a calibration unit for controlling the wave source or the detector such that an intensity of light irradiated from the wave source and measured by the detector is within a certain range set in advance.
Claims16
A water examination device comprising:
- a main body;
- a fluid accommodation unit formed in the main body;
- a wave source for irradiating waves toward the fluid accommodation unit;
- a detector for detecting a laser speckle at every set time period that is set in advance, the laser speckle being generated due to multiple scattering of the waves in the fluid;
- a controller for estimating existence of impurities in the fluid by using the detected laser speckle;
- and
- a calibration unit for controlling the wave source or the detector such that an intensity of light irradiated from the wave source and measured by the detector is within a certain range set in advance,
- wherein the fluid accommodation unit includes:
- a bottom portion formed in the main body;
- and
- a wall portion formed to have a certain angle with respect to the bottom portion and includes a reflective region,
- wherein an angle between the bottom portion and the wall portion is not a right angle,
- wherein the wall portions facing each other are inclined with respect to the bottom portion toward each other,
- wherein the wave source irradiates waves toward the wall portions, and
- wherein the fluid accommodation unit is configured to accept a cup of fluid that is separatable from the fluid accommodation unit.
