The present invention is directed to optical fiber pressurized vibration, optical fiber is placed in a ray machine compound system reasonable in design, proving installation adapts to the micro-curved character of different fiber, for studying pressure-deformation-light intensity attribute when pressure acts on optical fiber, design on the whole again, become the Fibre Optical Sensor that a kind of applicability is stronger.
Summary of the invention
The present invention designs a kind of optical fiber by pressure device, micro-curved amplitude when can configure and control optical fiber pressurized and length, optical fiber are squeezed degree, optical fiber pressure spot position, pressure spot quantity, pressure limit, pressure limitation and pressure buffer etc., and this device also can use as optical fiber micro-bending pressure transducer.
For achieving the above object, the present invention adopts following technical scheme:
A kind of optical fiber is by pressure device, and comprise base, pressing plate, compressing tablet, spring and optical fiber, described spring is arranged at the corner of base and the both sides at middle part, and described pressing plate is fastened on base, and pressing plate passes through spring supporting; Have some optical fiber ducts in the middle part of described base, bottom described optical fiber duct, many places become profile of tooth or undulations, and optical fiber duct has some compressing tablet grooves, and optical fiber duct and compressing tablet groove communicate, and described fiber placing is in optical fiber duct, and some compressing tablets are placed in compressing tablet groove; When pressing plate and base fasten, pressing plate applies pressure to compressing tablet, and compressing tablet applies pressure to optical fiber, and the continuous pressurized of optical fiber, optical fiber produces minor bending and becomes due to the extruding bottom compressing tablet and optical fiber duct, cause optical mode coupling in optical fiber, light occurs and leaks, intensity transmission weakens.
Described optical fiber duct quantity and be placed in the fiber count of optical fiber duct, grooved size, bottom land tooth proportions, the number of teeth or undulations can change, quantity >=1 of optical fiber duct.
Quantity, the grooved size of described compressing tablet groove can change, quantity >=1 of compressing tablet groove,
The size dimension of described compressing tablet can control, quantity >=1 of the quantity >=compressing tablet of compressing tablet groove.
The kind of described spring is variable, and the spring of different qualities can provide different impressed pressure scopes, and the fastening of base and pressing plate is Embedded, namely stops relative displacement until closely sealed; Control the length of compressing tablet and can control the degree of depth that compressing tablet enters compressing tablet groove, thus control sensing dynamic perfromance, the degree of depth that compressing tablet enters compressing tablet groove has ultimate value, ensure optical fiber can not pressurized excessive and impaired.
Know-why of the present invention is as follows:
Optical fiber has macrobend loss and microbend loss, according to mode coupling theory, the difference that the longitudinal propagation constant of the two-mode of luminous energy coupling occurs is relevant with the cycle of periodic disturbance, this disturbance can be produced by profile of tooth or the relative displacement between periodic undulations shape machinery and compacting thing, the size in this cycle is calculated by concrete optical fiber, in the situation that the fluctuating cycle is this value odd-multiple, fibre-optical bending deformation has identical cosine harmonics component, also very high sensitivity can be obtained, the present invention is when as proving installation, namely can change and control above-mentioned parameter, to meet different sensing testing requirements, this device has independently pressure sensing pattern, can be used alone, also can be used for distributed situation, adopt OTDR measuring method also effective.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following substantive distinguishing features and advantage:
Optical fiber does not directly contact with pressing plate, but by compressing tablet transmission of pressure, the shape of compressing tablet, compression distance comprise optical fiber duct bottom shape according to the concrete kind of optical fiber, optical fiber duct grooved and be configured, compressing tablet and pressing plate are also in released state before pressing plate pressurized, only when pressing plate pressurized, pressing plate contacts compressing tablet gradually, then to exert pressure compressing tablet, power is delivered to optical fiber, unload compressing tablet and optical fiber in power process at pressing plate and be tending towards lax, compressing tablet and pressing plate depart from, and optical fiber restores, and improves the automatic recovery ability of optical fiber.
The spring of different qualities provides different impressed pressure scopes, and the fastening of base and pressing plate is Embedded, namely stops relative displacement until closely sealed, and make the compression distance of compressing tablet have a ultimate value, optical fiber can not be impaired.
Due to optical fiber duct and the quantity of settling optical fiber, compressing tablet groove distributes, and quantity and the compressing tablet compression distance of laying compressing tablet can change, and the light intensity-pressure characteristic of optical fiber can configure and control.
