The base is fixed on the roadway wall through an anchor bolt 5.
The optical coupler comprises a coupling seat 45 fixed on the base, a coupling cover 46 fixed on the coupling seat through screws and a positioning pin 47 for positioning the coupling seat and the coupling cover, wherein the coupling seat and the coupling cover are respectively provided with a left circular arc groove 48, a middle circular arc groove 49 and a right circular arc groove 410 which are coaxially arranged, the coupling seat and the coupling cover are respectively provided with a ventilation slot 411, the ventilation slot is positioned between the middle circular arc groove and the left circular arc groove and between the middle circular arc groove and the right circular arc groove, and the optical coupler further comprises a dustproof ventilation layer 412 which is shielded on the ventilation slot. In the concrete implementation, the dustproof breathable layer can be made of flame-retardant cloth with ventilation holes, and can be fixed on the coupling seat and the coupling cover in a mode of screw connection, bonding and the like, so that the performance of the Bragg grating sensor can be prevented from being influenced by dust through the dustproof breathable layer, and the reliability of long-term working of the Bragg grating sensor is ensured.
