Application of Illuminance Sensor in Illumination Monitoring in Workshop
In recent years, as consumers' requirements for product quality continue to increase, manufacturers are also studying how to improve product quality. There are many factors that affect product quality. In addition to factors such as production equipment, production technology, raw materials, and the environment of the workshop, a good production environment can greatly improve the quality of industrial products. On the contrary, the quality and qualification rate of products will be greatly damaged. Therefore, Manufacturers must create a good production environment if they want to produce excellent products.
Take the food workshop as an example. The temperature, humidity, and illuminance in the workshop have a great influence on the quality of the product, especially the illuminance. Appropriate illumination can create a safe and satisfactory working environment for employees and ensure that they are carried out under ideal conditions. Important activities such as cleaning and raw material inspection are essential.
The importance of effective lighting in the
workshop 1. The intensity of the lighting in the workshop should be suitable for the activities carried out in the area. Low-intensity lighting may affect the safety of employees, while making rodents and other pests difficult to detect.
2. Improper lighting may hinder the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection procedures.
3. Certain specific steps in production, such as visual inspection of potential contaminants in raw materials, may require lighting equipment with specific performance to ensure the best lighting intensity and color at all times. In such cases, the use of natural lighting or low-intensity lighting means that night shift workers or workers with low natural light intensity cannot effectively inspect or control pollution.
4. The lighting of the storage area is sometimes inadequate. This is because the factory management usually thinks that the lighting of these areas is not necessary. However, the storage area must be regarded as
a high-risk area for monitoring of pest contamination and defective products (such as damaged packaging and product leakage) . Pests such as rodents do not like areas with sufficient lighting, so it is good practice to maintain proper lighting in areas where rodents may infest. If you are storing raw materials that are vulnerable to pests, you need to ensure good lighting conditions in the storage area to monitor any possible pests.
In order to standardize production, the relevant state departments have also issued corresponding regulations to regulate the illuminance in the workshop. The specifications point out that there should be sufficient natural or artificial lighting in the workshop or workplace. The daylighting factor of the workshop should not be lower than the standard IV level; the mixed illuminance of the working surface of the inspection place should not be lower than 540lx; the working surface of the processing place should not be lower than 220lx; other places generally should not be lower than 110lx.
So how to ensure that all links in the workshop have effective light? The illuminance sensor is generally used in the factory workshop to monitor the illuminance in the workshop. The illuminance sensor is an instrument dedicated to detecting light intensity. It can convert the light intensity value into a voltage value. The light intensity sensor is composed of a transmitter, a receiver, and a detection circuit. The transmitter is aimed at the target to emit a beam, and the beam is uninterrupted. Transmit or change the pulse width; the triangular reflector is a strong transmitting device that can accurately return the beam from the reflector; the receiver is composed of photodiodes, phototransistors, and photocells; in front of the receiver, optical components such as The lens and aperture, etc., are behind the detection circuit, which can filter out the effective signal and send the signal, which has reached the detection of the illuminance in the environment.
