Roller coaster track structure health monitoring system based on optical fiber sensing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of roller coaster track structure detection, in particular to a roller coaster track structure health monitoring system based on optical fiber sensing.
Background
The roller coaster is typical equipment in a large-scale amusement facility, and no early warning system capable of monitoring the running state of the roller coaster is installed on the roller coaster in China at present, so that great hidden danger is brought to safe running of the roller coaster. A roller coaster belongs to a large amusement facility of a sliding vehicle, and mainly comprises a train, a track, a stand column, a traction system, a braking system, a control system and the like. The working principle is as follows: after the train is lifted to the highest point of the track by the chain, the train automatically disengages from the chain, slides freely along the track under the action of gravity, and finally returns to the platform after braking.
With the rapid development of economy, the large-scale amusement facility industry in China is in the peak period of development. While the large amusement ride industry is rapidly developing, it is accompanied by non-negligible safety issues. Due to the influence of various factors in the running process of the roller coaster track, damage and deterioration of each part of the structure can occur to different degrees, and if the damage cannot be monitored and maintained in time, serious safety incidents can be caused. However, the existing test systems at home and abroad mainly perform static index tests, such as whether a safety device is sound, whether a structural member has cracks, whether an electromechanical product is qualified, and the like; and the method focuses on the detection and nondestructive inspection of the specific indexes of the subsystems or parts of the equipment, such as whether the roller coaster lifting mechanism operates normally, whether a lifting chain has no damage and the like. There is no effective means for real-time monitoring of the overall operational status of the amusement ride.
However, to prevent these accidents, it is far from being solved only by the attention of the relevant departments and managers. It is known through research that damage and deterioration on a roller coaster track are the main causes of safety accidents, but due to production continuity and economic considerations, long-term real-time monitoring of the overall running state of the roller coaster track cannot be realized. Moreover, too frequent and blind maintenance of the roller coaster track is uneconomical and impractical, and if the treatment is not reasonable, the track damage is even more severe, even causing some new defects. Therefore, long-term real-time monitoring of roller coaster tracks requires scientific and professional methods. In summary, it would be extremely useful to be able to develop a roller coaster track monitoring method. The roller coaster track is monitored in real time and is subjected to safety assessment according to monitoring data, so that long-period safety work of the roller coaster can be guaranteed, and the operation and maintenance cost of the system can be reduced.
Compared with the existing method for detecting the structural damage of the system, the sensing system and the instrument of the optical fiber sensing technology have the outstanding characteristics of electromagnetic interference resistance, convenience for carrying out nondestructive detection in the structure, long transmission distance of sensing information, simple and flexible packaging process, realization of large-scale networking through a multiplexing technology and the like, and the characteristics that the sensing system and the instrument are not influenced by light source power in use and can realize quasi-distributed measurement by connecting a plurality of sensors in series on a single optical fiber are more incomparable with other types of sensors due to the wavelength coding characteristic, so that the defect of periodic detection of the conventional detection method at present can be overcome.
