Description

A kind of distributed crack sensor based on concentric cable
Technical field
The invention belongs to engineering structure safety monitoring technology field, relate to the damage monitoring sensor of structure behavior, specially refer to a kind of abominable Service Environment based on concentric cable with distributed crackle (or big strain) monitoring sensor.
Background technology
Crackle is the direct indicator that characterizes structural damage and safe condition, takes effective means that it is monitored reliably and with long-term with early warning and has important practical significance in the structural safety field.The crackle means of testing that adopts during engineering is used at present mainly comprises: displacement transducer (LVDT), strain testing conversion, ocular estimate etc., and traditional Dynamic Non-Destruction Measurement, comprise non-contact testing and the penetration testing methods such as dodging spot, white light sudden strain of a muscle spot, laser and CCD sheared.Said method have can't the implementation structure crackle fatal shortcoming such as higher, the operating difficulties of real-time distributed monitoring, cost, especially be unsuitable for abominable Service Environment, can't satisfy actual requirement of engineering.At the problems referred to above that exist in the crack monitoring process, relevant abroad in recent years scholar adopts concentric cable tentatively to realize the real-time distributed monitoring of structural crack and big strain as sensor based on electric Time Domain Reflectometry (ETDR, Electrical Time Domain Reflectometry) technology.The test philosophy of ETDR is: pulse producer is sent into transmission line (as concentric cable etc.) as pumping signal with electric pulse, by transmission line theory as can be known, electric pulse runs into impedance when discontinuous along transmission line, can produce reflex at the impedance variation place, by reflected signal is carried out sample analysis, just can draw the resistance value and the position of impedance point of discontinuity.The people such as Mark W.Lin of U.S. Clarke Atlanta university directly are deployed in engineering structure as sensor the concentric cable of commercialization based on this principle, concentric cable generator tool deformation under the crackle effect causes impedance to change and then reflects crack position and degree of expansion, tentatively realized the detection of engineering structure crackle, but there are shortcomings such as reflected signal is faint, sensitivity is low, can't satisfy the testing requirement of large scale engineering structure fine crack.In order to improve the crackle measurement sensitivity of concentric cable sensor, people such as the Genda Chen of Missouri, USA university adopt the mode of directly twining sheet metal at the outer manual spiral of coaxial cable insulated layer that the outer conductor layer of concentric cable is improved, the sheet metal of adjacent winding is close together, when treating that strain (or crackle) appears in geodesic structure, this place's adjacent metal thin slice will be drawn back, cause the impedance of concentric cable to change and then reflect crack information (2008, Genda Chen, United States Patent (USP), numbering 7421910B2).The sensitivity of this sensor than people's such as Mark W.Lin raising 10 to 50 times.But because it adopts the mode that manual spiral twines to make concentric cable sensor outer conductor layer, exist to twine sheet metal loose contact, medium and disturb big, signal attenuation to cause Validity Test greatly, can't realize applying of industrialization production and actual engineering apart from problem such as fragile in weak point, preservative treatment difficulty and the laying process.At present, do not see that its achievement uses on actual engineering.
More than studies show that, can effectively improve the sensor detection sensitivity and increase the crack monitoring yardstick by changing coaxial cable outer conductor layer structure, and then be expected to the distributed monitoring of implementation structure crackle.And how the outer conductor layer structure is improved, become the key issue that can distributed coax cable crack sensor satisfy actual engineering test needs.Given this, the applicant avoids other people critical defect, proposition is made weak link on concentric cable metal outer conductor layer, as directly scribing the weak screw thread of spill, the weak screw thread of point type etc., solve the shortcoming of present international patent of invention well, be expected to realize the through engineering approaches application of distributed coax cable crack sensor.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of good endurance, crackle (or big strain) monitoring yardstick big, have structural damage memory function, transmission range big, lay convenient, with low cost distributed crack sensor based on concentric cable, solved the technical bottleneck of the real-time distributed monitoring of structural crack.
Technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
A kind of distributed crack sensor based on concentric cable is followed successively by the metallic conductor core of internal layer, middle insulation course, the metal outer conductor layer (as the weak screw thread that caves in, the weak screw thread of point type etc.) and the surface anticorrosion material of band weak link from inside to outside.
The present invention also has some feature technologies like this:
1) the weak screw thread of described depression is by concentric cable being applied the traction of rotation protrusive, utilizing drill bit to scribe groove simultaneously on the coaxial cable outer conductor layer and process;
2) the weak screw thread of described point type is by concentric cable being applied the traction of rotation protrusive, utilizing tapping and plugging machine continuous perforation processing on the coaxial cable outer conductor layer to form simultaneously;
3) degree of depth of scribing of the weak screw thread of described depression is chosen different numerical value according to engineering structure to the requirement of measurement sensitivity and spatial resolution with the punching spacing of flight pitch and the weak screw thread of point type.
Test job is achieved in that the sensor is deployed in the structure, obtains the deamplification that concentric cable is produced by the crackle modulation by electric domain reflectometer.Specifically, send an electric pulse by electric domain reflectometer and import sensor into, when treating that crackle appears in geodesic structure, the collaborative deformation of weak screw thread on the outer conductor layer and crackle is drawn back changes impedance, cause a part of pulse signal to be reflected, can determine crackle occurrence positions and degree of expansion to the analysis of reflected signal by electric domain reflectometer.
Effect of the present invention and benefit are the distributed crack sensors of concentric cable that has weak screw thread, not only given full play to the high sensitivity characteristic of helical structure, and eliminated effectively that winding loose contact, outer conductor layer structure that manual winding etc. brings are inhomogeneous to reach problem such as fragile in the laying process greatly with signal attenuation crack monitoring.And, because weak screw thread can be drawn back not easy fracture by spiral under the effect of large scale crackle, improved the military service performance of sensor greatly, really realized the distributed measurement of large scale crackle.In addition, this screw thread scribe the degree of depth, flight pitch and the punching spacing can be regulated arbitrarily, can be according to actual demands of engineering, the key position that is prone to crackle can corresponding increase screw thread scribe the degree of depth, increase punch density and reduce measurement sensitivity and the spatial resolution that technologies such as flight pitch improve key position.That the present invention has is simple in structure, with low cost, be easy to advantages such as industrialization production, can be widely used in structural safety monitoring engineerings such as bridge, tunnel, dam body and skyscraper.
