Embodiment
Combine embodiment, accompanying drawing that the present invention is further described at present:
The exchange current sensing head of a kind of temperature compensating type of the embodiment of the invention is comprising optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer 12, magnetostriction materials 8 and 2 permanent magnets; 2 permanent magnets are opposite to the both sides of magnetostriction materials 8 mutually, the optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer two sections fiber gratings 6 between the fiber grating FPI that forms stick on the magnetostriction materials 8.This sensing head can also replace with piezoelectric ceramics 11, mutual inductor 10 and transmission line 9 with magnetostriction materials 8 and 2 permanent magnets; Mutual inductor 10 is connected through transmission line 9 voltage signal of output with input piezoelectric ceramics 11.
The basic skills of the measurement exchange current that the embodiment of the invention proposes is: with the magnetic field that current sensing head places exchange current to be measured to produce, stick on temperature and the size of magnetic induction density in the fiber grating FPI sensing surrounding environment on the magnetostriction materials.The light signal that monochromatic source is sent gets in the fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber of optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer, interferes the back to form and is approximately the output of two-beam interference signal.Obtain the long variable quantity in chamber in the fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber of optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer according to the two-beam interference signal, obtain the measured value of exchange current again through the linear relationship of long variable quantity in chamber and electric current.Finally, utilize current measurement value and actual treating between the measured value Temperature Compensation to be concerned the actual value that draws exchange current.
The implement device of this method is; The fiber grating FPI of optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer sticks on the magnetostriction materials; And it is linked to each other with a port of fiber coupler through single-mode fiber; Monochromatic source links to each other with two other port of fiber coupler with Electro-Optical Sensor Set, and the 4th port of fiber coupler is inserted in the index-matching fluid through single-mode fiber.
Embodiment 1: consult accompanying drawing 1, be said fiber grating FPI current measuring device structural representation.Fiber grating FPI12 sticks on the magnetostriction materials 8; Permanent magnet 7 secured in parallel are in magnetostriction materials 8 both sides; Fiber grating FPI12 is connected with a port of fiber coupler 4 one sides through single-mode fiber 3; The another port links to each other with index-matching fluid 5, and two ports of the opposite side of fiber coupler 4 are connected with Electro-Optical Sensor Set 2 with monochromatic source 1 respectively.
The F-P chamber of said fiber grating FPI12 is limited by magnetostriction materials 8, two fiber grating parts 6 and freely places; Said fiber grating FPI12 reflectivity is less than 5%.
It is that λ, light intensity are I that said monochromatic source is sent wavelength
0Light signal, be transferred in the fiber grating FPI sensor probe through coupling mechanism.Because the reflectivity of fiber grating FPI is less than 5%, so the light signal of reflected back is approximately the two-beam interference signal, but approximate representation does
In the formula, R
λFiber grating FPI is the peak reflectivity of the monochromatic light intensity of λ to wavelength in the long change procedure in expression chamber, by the fiber grating decision at fiber grating FPI two ends; N representes the refractive index of fiber core; Δ h representes the stroke that the chamber is long;
The initial phase of expression fiber grating FPI interference signal to not influence of measurement result, is a normal value.The long variation delta h in chamber that obtains the fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber thus does
Said magnetostriction materials are operated in linear zone under the effect of permanent magnet.The action of a magnetic field around the exchange current causes the length generating period property variation of magnetostriction materials in magnetostriction materials.Deformation takes place in said fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber thereupon.Deformation is divided into two parts to the influence of optical fiber: the one, and the fiber core refractive index that elasto-optical effect causes changes; The 2nd, the variation of the fiber lengths that strain causes.Both actings in conjunction cause the light path generating period property variation that light signal transmits in FPI, thereby cause the cyclical variation of reflective light intensity size.When exchange current to be measured is
, and the relation of long variation delta h in the chamber in fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber and strength of current i is a linear relationship
A is a scale-up factor in the formula, can record through experiment.Therefore obtain under the situation of not account temperature influence, the measured value of electric current equates with actual value i, can be expressed as
Can find out by following formula, if during the frequencies omega of electric current to be measured, and nAi
0During>λ, the frequency characteristic of reflected light signal I only with the amplitude i of electric current
0Relevant.Therefore just can obtain exchange current i ' to be measured through the frequency characteristic of analyzing reflected light signal I.
What said fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber received environment temperature influences generation deformation.The influence of temperature on fiber is mainly reflected in the fiber core refractive index that fiber lengths changes and the optical fiber thermo-optic effect the causes variation that the optical fiber thermal expansion effects causes.Both actings in conjunction have caused the change of the fiber grating reflectivity at fiber grating FPI two ends, thereby cause R
λVariation.See also Fig. 4, be R
λWith the variation of temperature relation.Require R when measuring temperature
λIn a monotony interval, change.For obtaining maximum temperature measurement range, need choose suitable working point, concrete grammar is following: confirm variation of temperature scope to be measured, choose suitable operation wavelength, make R
λWhen medium temperature the half the of maximum reflectivity.
Because variation of temperature can change the character of magnetostriction materials, and then has influence on the measurement to electric current.Therefore, need revise current value.On the one hand, during temperature constant, the elongation of magnetostriction materials is directly proportional with the residing magnetic field intensity of material; On the other hand, when magnetic field was constant, the elongation of magnetostriction materials also was directly proportional with temperature.So, can suppose that magnetostriction materials receive temperature and the action of a magnetic field dependent variable ε afterwards to do
In the formula, to be the magnetostriction materials strain be the temperature magnetic field intensity cross sensitivity factors of magnetostriction materials to sensitivity coefficient, the κ 2 of temperature to κ 1, and Ceff is the magnetostriction coefficients of magnetostriction materials under a certain steady temperature.Three coefficient values can be obtained by the mode of experiment calibration.Therefore obtain through analysis, the relation of the actual correction value i of electric current and the current value i ' of actual measurement does
Therefore, measurement when can realize electric current and temperature with frequency characteristic through the intensity that detects the output light signal, and then obtain the actual current value after the temperature compensation.

Said mutual inductor is converted into voltage with the electric current in the bus, through transmission line, is loaded on the piezoelectric ceramics.Deformation takes place in said piezoelectric ceramics under the driving of this voltage, act on the fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber, causes that the fiber Bragg grating F-P chamber produces deformation.
The implement device of this method is; The fiber grating FPI of optical fiber optical grating Fabry-Perot interferometer sticks on the magnetostriction materials; And it is linked to each other with a port of fiber coupler through single-mode fiber; Monochromatic source links to each other with two other port of fiber coupler with Electro-Optical Sensor Set, and the 4th port of fiber coupler is inserted in the index-matching fluid through single-mode fiber.In measuring process; The magnetic field that places exchange current to be measured to produce the exchange current sensing head; Used fiber grating FPI near the centre wavelength under the room temperature (20 ℃) is 1550nm, bandwidth<0.2nm, optical grating reflection rate<5%; With the modified acroleic acid ester gum F-P chamber is sticked on the magnetostriction materials surface, two affixed points spacings are 6cm.When the current value size of required measurement changes; The narrow band light that monochromatic source is sent; After fiber grating FPI emission; The signal that detects through Electro-Optical Sensor Set again, the cycle of the measured waveform that on oscillograph, shows can change, and obtains the size of current value according to the different cycles characteristic of waveform; When environment temperature changes, show on the oscillograph that the amplitude of the waveform that obtains can change, and then obtain the size of temperature according to the size of amplitude.Finally by the relation of the current value i ' of the actual correction value i of electric current and actual measurement, the current value that obtains after the temperature compensation is big or small.
