A kind of fiber bragg grating osmometer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber bragg grating osmometer, belong to the optical fiber grating sensing field.
Background technology
As everyone knows, one of the most difficult problem is exactly to determine the position of blowby area reliably in the safety monitoring in dam, tunnel and colliery, have only and verify seepage flow (leakage) position and flow fast and accurately, just can take effectively to take precautions against and reclamation activities, so seepage flow location and the monitoring of seepage flow quantification are significant.
Since the eighties in last century, drop into lot of manpower and material resources both at home and abroad, carried out the research of prison (inspection) survey technology of seepage location.Ultimate principle is to detect hidden danger and medium such as ground, concrete on every side whether to have tangible rerum natura (promptly electrical, elasticity, temperature etc.) difference, or the various responses that cause therefrom, overcomes background interference, and the physical abnormalities of hidden danger is detected.At present, more accurate seepage monitoring means mainly contain 2 kinds of methods: monitoring seepage pressure or monitoring seepage flow (M) amount.The monitoring of seepage flow is generally undertaken by the means such as the water yield that overflow at measurement gully, place, aperture, and normally interior in a big way seepage flow total amount is made location, vadose region, poor effect with it.Piezometric tube and osmometer observation seepage pressure is then mainly used in the monitoring of seepage pressure, because the precision of sensor is higher, therefore monitoring comparatively accurately and reliably.
At present, adopt electric class osmometer mostly, engineering practice shows that this type of osmometer volume is big, precision is not high, resolution is lower, to electrical quantity require very harsh, long-time stability are poor, and are subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI), seriously limited their widespread use.
Fiber grating is a kind of temperature and stress sensing device of function admirable, and since people are used for sensing to fiber grating, fiber-optic grating sensor has proposed brand-new challenge with its special advantages to traditional electric transducer etc.It compares especially unique advantage with traditional electric transducer etc.: 1. sensing head is simple in structure, volume is little, in light weight, be fit to also can imbed in the large scale structure attached to tested body structure surface, the stress of measurement structure inside, strain and structural damage etc., stability is high, good reproducibility; 2. and have natural compatibility between the optical fiber, easily be connected with optical fiber, low-loss, spectral characteristic is good, reliability is high; 3. have non-conducting, little to measured medium influence, have characteristics anticorrosive, anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) again, be adapted near the coal gas, work in abominable under the power station, nuclear facilities, mine, around oil field and the oil tank etc., the high-risk environment; 4. optical fiber is lightly soft, can write a plurality of gratings in an optical fiber, constitutes sensor array, combines with multiplex techniques such as wavelength-division multiplex and time division multiplexes, realizes multiple spot, distributed sensing; 5. metrical information is a Wavelength-encoding, so fiber-optic grating sensor is not subjected to the influence of factors such as the light-intensity variation, fibre loss of light source, stronger antijamming capability is arranged; 6. high sensitivity, high degree of resolution.
A lot of research institutions have begun the research of optical fiber osmotic pressure sensor, and Wu Yonghong etc. have designed the reflective water conservancy project osmotic pressure of two optical-fiber types sensor, the measuring accuracy height, but design concept and manufacture craft are all very complicated; Tong Chengguo etc. have invented the reflective pressure transducer of two bellows, and are simple in structure, but range is little; Xia Yuanyou etc. have designed the fiber grating osmotic pressure sensor based on polyurethane elastomeric materials, and are applied in the civil engineering works such as highway soft foundation, but the repetition poor performance of resilient material.
Summary of the invention
At above-mentioned prior art, the invention provides the fiber bragg grating osmometer that a kind of measuring accuracy height, volume are little, have good water resistance, it can anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), and can long term monitoring.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:
A kind of fiber bragg grating osmometer is characterized in that: comprise shell, press rods, grating, Transmission Fibers, wherein, shell is provided with entrance pressure mouth and fiber-optic wire hole, and entrance pressure mouth place is provided with screen pack, can effectively stop silt to enter in the osmometer; Shell is made up of left, center, right three parts, and left and right two parts and center section are by being threaded, and the center section both sides are provided with diaphragm, and diaphragm can directly be experienced the pressure at entrance pressure mouth place; The press rods two ends all are connected with diaphragm, and grating is embedded in the press rods, and Transmission Fibers is drawn by the fiber-optic wire hole.
Described diaphragm is welded on the shell.
Described grating is the Bragg grating.
Described press rods is bonded in the center of diaphragm by high-strength adhesive.
Described grating distributes along the axis of press rods, and the dilatation by the detected pressures bar detects the osmotic pressure value.
Described press rods is made by even matter resilient material, have stronger elasticity, and material is even, and is stressed even.
Use: pore water enters osmometer by the entrance pressure mouth, acts on the diaphragm, makes diaphragm generation deflection deformation, change into concentrated force simultaneously and act on the press rods, press rods be subjected to external force take place flexible, make grating under pressure centre wavelength change.Detect the centre wavelength of grating with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator this moment, and by software collection storage data, can realize the detection (fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator is an equipment commonly used in the prior art, is not described in detail in this) of osmotic pressure.
The present invention is based on full optical signal design, do not have electron device, therefore have favorable waterproof property, do not have electric spark hidden danger, and anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI).The present invention has adopted two diaphragms, and has adopted the press rods of high tenacity, has improved measuring accuracy and measuring reliability.But the present invention has advantages such as measuring accuracy height, little, the anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI) of volume, the good long term monitoring of water resistance.
