Description

Packaging structure for structural mechanics fiber grating sensor
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a fiber grating sensor encapsulation field especially relates to a be used for structure mechanics fiber grating sensor packaging structure.
Background
Fiber grating sensors have two major advantages: firstly, the information is absolutely encoded for the wavelength; and the second is intrinsic sensor. Therefore, the fiber grating sensor has the following outstanding advantages: passive intrinsic safety, small size, light weight, lightning stroke resistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, simultaneous multi-parameter measurement, ultra-long distance transmission, high precision, stable property and strong environmental adaptability. In recent years, fiber grating sensors have been widely used in the industries of petrifaction, electric power, traffic, highway and bridge, etc.
The core sensitive element of the optical fiber Bragg grating structure mechanical sensor is an optical fiber Bragg grating, the grating is written into the grating through a phase mask after an optical fiber coating layer is stripped, but permanent mechanical cracks are inevitably left on the surface of an optical fiber to cause mechanical damage in the process of stripping the coating layer, and the tensile strength of the optical fiber is greatly reduced.
Due to the sensitive and fragile characteristics of the fiber grating element, the packaging technology of the fiber grating element becomes a key technology in engineering application for manufacturing a fiber grating structure mechanical sensor. The packaging methods commonly used at present include: 1) the fiber grating is encapsulated in a metal tube or a metal sheet by using special epoxy resin glue. But has the following disadvantages: firstly, the epoxy resin adhesive belongs to organic matters, is easy to age and decompose and is not beneficial to long-term use in severe environment; 2) the sensor is packaged by glue, but the phenomenon of zero drift of the sensor calibration after long-term use is caused by the creep of the glue, so that the use of the sensor in engineering projects is limited; 3) and the other package is in the form of low-melting-point glass and common grating, the tensile strength is only 0.4kg, and the package can be broken, so that the application range of the FBG sensor is severely limited.
At present, in order to ensure that a finished sensor has certain tensile strength in the packaging and manufacturing process of the fiber grating structural mechanical sensor, most of the fiber grating structural mechanical sensor adopts the mode of epoxy resin pouring sealant, namely, the fiber grating of a common acrylate coating layer is directly bonded on the surface of an elastomer by using epoxy resin glue, and the testing purpose is realized through the cooperative deformation of the epoxy resin glue and the elastomer. The structure of the epoxy resin glue encapsulation is shown in fig. 1 (wherein 1 is an elastic matrix, 2 is a grating, and 3 is encapsulation glue), but the fiber grating structure mechanical sensor adopting the epoxy resin glue encapsulation has the following defects: due to the creep characteristic of the epoxy resin glue, the fiber grating structure mechanical sensor adopting the packaging process can drive the fiber grating packaged in the sensor to creep together along with the creep of the epoxy resin glue in the long-term use process, so that the drift of the wavelength zero point of the sensor is caused, and finally the sensor fails to be used. The creep test result of the fiber grating structure mechanical sensor encapsulated by epoxy resin glue is shown in fig. 2, in the test, two fiber gratings are arranged in parallel, one fiber grating is prestretched by 1.5nm and is encapsulated by epoxy resin glue, and the other fiber grating is placed aside statically to sense the same temperature for temperature compensation. In a half-year cycle experiment, a set of data was recorded daily and the data was processed using the following formula:
in the above formula, λ0: initial wavelength of the test grating, unit: nm;
λ: center wavelength of the test grating, unit: nm;
λT: measured wavelength of the temperature compensation sensor, unit: nm;
initial wavelength of the temperature compensated sensor, unit: nm;
BT: temperature coefficient of the temperature compensation sensor, unit: DEG C/pm;
Bε: temperature coefficient of the test grating, unit: DEG C/pm;
the obtained data is the wavelength after the temperature influence is removed, in the test with the period of half a year, a group of data is recorded every day, and the data is obtained after the data is sorted out: the test grating adopting the epoxy resin glue removes the temperature influence and continuously reduces the wavelength in a static state. The sensor with the packaging structure has the advantage that due to creep deformation of the epoxy resin adhesive, the continuously reduced wavelength continuously influences the performance of the sensor as a measurement error.
At present, another packaging mode of welding low-melting-point glass is adopted, two ends of a bare grating are welded on an elastic body (a coating layer of a common optical fiber is made of acrylic ester, the temperature resistance is about 120 ℃, and the melting temperature of the low-melting-point welding glass is 270 ℃). However, the packaging structure also causes another problem that the tensile strength of the packaged fiber grating structure mechanical sensor is low, a coating layer needs to be peeled off firstly when the ordinary grating is engraved, mechanical cracks are inevitably generated in the peeling process, and the strength is difficult to ensure. For the low-melting-point glass packaging mode of the common fiber grating, the inventor carries out a large number of tensile tests, and experimental data prove that the tensile strength is about 0.4kg, namely the wavelength shift of the packaged fiber grating sensor is about 4.5nm, so that the engineering application of the fiber grating sensor is very limited, and even more, the fiber grating sensor can be damaged in the transportation process. The tensile strength test result of the conventional fiber grating is shown in fig. 3, and the structure of the conventional fiber grating is shown in fig. 4 (41 is a Bragg grating, 42 is a fiber core, 43 is a cladding, 44 is a mechanical crack, 45 is an acrylate coating layer, a is incident light, and B is reflected light).
