Method and apparatus for improving sensitivity of vacuum testing of vacuum switch

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for improving sensitivity of vacuum testing of a vacuum switch, including the following steps: S100: smearing a water-soluble metal nanoparticle reagent evenly on a surface of a target material of a to-be-tested vacuum switch, performing standing and forming a metal nanoparticle coating on the surface of the target material; S200: bombarding, by using laser pulse, the surface of the target material where the metal nanoparticle coating is formed, so as to generate plasma on the surface of the target material; S300: obtaining a plasma image by collecting the plasma, and obtaining a plasma spectrum by performing spectroscopic analysis on the plasma image; and S400: obtaining a vacuum degree of the to-be-tested vacuum switch based on the plasma spectrum. The present disclosure can effectively improve a laser focusing degree and laser pulse stability and reduce noise interference, so as to lower testing limits and improve the sensitivity of online vacuum testing of the vacuum switch.
