Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described, should be appreciated that preferred embodiment described herein only is used for explanation and explains the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
According to the embodiment of the invention, a kind of reflection-type optical fibre sensor device is provided.Like Fig. 1-shown in Figure 13, present embodiment comprises light source 1, photo-detector 3 and sensor probe 2, and wherein: sensor probe 2 receives the incident light that light sources 1 send, and after treatment, the reflected light that obtains is sent to photo-detector 3.
Further, in the above-described embodiments,, be packaged with the single-mode fiber (like single-mode fiber 41) and at least one root multimode fiber that laterally arrange in the inside of sensor probe 2; Wherein: single-mode fiber 41 is as input optical fibre, be connected with light source 1, and multimode optical fiber is as output optical fibre, be connected with photo-detector 3.Here, because fibre diameter is thinner, so probe volume is very little, can imbed in the various objects under test, and the structure of this object is not had influence; Adopt optical fiber, do not receive various electromagnetic interference (EMI) on every side, under the situation of strong electromagnetic, still can work, so use occasion is many; And the serviceable life of optical fiber is long, can reach more than 30 years.
For example,, the single-mode fiber 41 and first multimode optical fiber 42 that laterally arrange be can be packaged with, the single-mode fiber 41, first multimode optical fiber 42 and second multimode optical fiber 43 that laterally arrange also can be packaged with in the inside of sensor probe 2.
Here, when multimode optical fiber is two or two when above, the number of photo-detector 3 can be complementary with the radical of multimode optical fiber, and every root multimode fiber is connected with corresponding photo-detector 3; For example, first multimode optical fiber 42 is connected with first photo-detector 31, and second multimode optical fiber 43 is connected with second photo-detector 32.
In addition, after multimode optical fiber is two or two when above, can also comprises that 6, two of fiber couplers or two above multimode optical fibers are through fiber coupler 5 couplings, be connected with photo-detector 3 again; For example, first multimode optical fiber 42 and second multimode optical fiber 43 are connected with photo-detector 3 after being coupled through fiber coupler 6 again.
In the above-described embodiments, light source 1 can be LED, also can be laser instrument; Usually select the laser instrument of single longitudinal mode for use, going up the most frequently used model such as communication is the distributed feedback laser (being Distributed Feedback Laser 11) of 1550nm.Here, the tail optical fiber of Distributed Feedback Laser 11 and single-mode fiber 41 link together through the optical fiber splicer welding; One end of first multimode optical fiber 42 and the tail optical fiber of photo-detector 3 link together through welding.If select LED to make light source, because its tail optical fiber is a multimode optical fiber, then incident optical also must be selected multimode optical fiber for use, so that its coupling; Since laser instrument the curve of spectrum, performance number size, and aspect such as power stability all be superior to LED, therefore in most cases select laser instrument, and do not select LED to make light source as light source.
Particularly, as depicted in figs. 1 and 2, sensor probe 2 can be made up of the optical fiber of two parallel placements, and an optical fiber is single-mode fiber 41, and another root optical fiber is first multimode optical fiber 42.Here, single-mode fiber 41 core diameters are 10um, and cladding diameter is 125um; It is the optical fiber of 50um or 62.5um that first multimode optical fiber 42 is selected common core diameter usually, and its cladding diameter is 125um; Receive the light signal that reflects in order to increase, optical fiber also can be selected the bigger multimode optical fiber of core diameter, is the multimode optical fiber of 100um such as core diameter, even more greatly also can; Light signal is propagated in fiber core fully.
Single-mode fiber 41 is consistent with the tail optical fiber type of Distributed Feedback Laser 11, and in the time of can making two fused fiber splices, splice loss, splice attenuation drops to minimum, and the light that light source is sent shines on the reflecting body as much as possible; The fibre core of multimode optical fiber is thicker, can receive the more light signal that reflects from reflecting body.
The single-mode fiber 41 and first multimode optical fiber 42 are selected appropriate length; Handle two fiber end faces well end face through the fiber cut cutter or with optic fiber polishing machine, parallel to put into a length be 30mm, and diameter is in the stainless steel sleeve pipe of 3mm; Then to stainless steel sleeve pipe injection ring epoxy resins; After waiting for resin solidification, can be with the optical fiber fixed position, and play the effect of sealing; If be necessary, sensor probe 2 can use the optical fiber pouncing paper to grind.According to actual needs, the probe size of Fibre Optical Sensor can change, and its length can be longer, also can shorten; It is littler that diameter can be done, and minimum can arrive 250um, only holds two optical fiber and put together side by side.
Photo-detector 3 can be a PIN p n junction photodiode, and it is at the 1550nm place, and responsiveness is greater than 0.8A/W.In the above-described embodiments, testee can be used as reflecting body 5; The tail optical fiber of photo-detector 3 and multimode optical fiber welding, the laser from reflecting body 5 reflects through the transmission of first multimode optical fiber 42, is received by photo-detector 3.
For example, the light that sends from light source 1 is through being coupled into single-mode fiber 41; Shine then on the reflecting body 5; Produce scatterings on reflecting body 5 surface, an end that has part light to be reflected to get into first multimode optical fiber, 42, the first multimode optical fibers 42 connects photo-detector 3; Reflection gets into the light of first multimode optical fiber 42, will be coupled into photo-detector 3; By the luminous power size that photo-detector 3 receives, can learn that the reflection coefficient on reflecting body 5 surfaces changes, perhaps reflecting body 5 is to the variation of corresponding optical fiber end face distance.
But in some occasion, during such as stress or temperature test, reflecting body 5 must be packaged together with sensor probe 2, constitutes a sensing head, as the part of reflection-type optical fibre sensor, is an integral body.Single-mode fiber 41 is as input optical fibre, and first multimode optical fiber 42 is as output optical fibre; The light that light source 1 sends is coupled into single-mode fiber 41, is mapped on the reflecting body 5, produces reflection, and the light of reflection is coupled into first multimode optical fiber 42, is received by photo-detector 3.
Here, as the reflecting body 5 of reflected light signal, be object to be detected sometimes; Sometimes need be packaged together with sensor probe 2, constitute a sensing head, as the indispensable part of sensor, during like stress or temperature test.It is thus clear that testee is not necessarily reflecting body 5, for example: when test stress and temperature, reflecting body 5 is packaged together with sensor probe 2, constitutes sensing head, test be the pressure size that ambient temperature or testee bear; Measure fatigue of materials, the material surface roughness, during corrosion, testee separates with sensor probe 2 as reflecting body 5.
If the surface reflectance of reflecting body 5 does not change; And the distance of fiber end face and reflecting body 5 changes; The luminous power that photo-detector 3 receives also will change, and according to the luminous power size that receives, can infer the distance of reflecting body 5 and fiber end face; If keep the distance of fiber end face and reflecting body 5 constant, the reflection coefficient on reflecting body 5 surfaces according to the luminous power size that photo-detector 3 receives, can be learnt the variation of the surface reflectance of reflecting body 5 owing to the influence of environment changes.
Because the fibre core of optical fiber is thinner, light weight, volume is little; Do not receive electromagnetic interference (EMI), corrosion-resistant, the life-span is long; Therefore the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device of the foregoing description also can be imbedded in the various objects under test; Be used for material stress, fatigue, the monitoring of aspects such as material surface roughness, corrosion and temperature.
The different purposes of the foregoing description reflection-type optical fibre sensor device can be distinguished according to testee; For example: when measuring stress and temperature, sensor probe 2 must be packaged together with reflecting body 5; Measure fatigue of materials, when material surface roughness and corrosion, testee separates with sensor probe 2 as reflecting body 5.
In Fig. 3, d is the distance of fiber end face to reflecting body 5.In single-mode fiber 41, the light distribution Gaussian distributed; Angle of divergence θ is the numerical aperture of optical fiber, when laser shines reflecting body 5 from input optical fibre, forms a light cone.When a branch of directional light shines desirable minute surface, reflected light will be a branch of directional light also, be called direct reflection; If shine hackly when surface, light will to all the winds reflect, and is called diffuse reflection; For the object of majority and general metal surface, the light of generation all diffuses; The reflection of light law is all observed in direct reflection and diffuse reflection.For most body surfaces, naked eyes seem, like very smooth, but under magnifier, observe, and its surface is by a lot of rough little surface compositions, so its reflected light also will be to diffuse.
The light that light source sends shines on the reflecting body through single-mode fiber, has part light to be reflected to the end face that receives optical fiber then, is coupled into multimode optical fiber.The fibre core area of multimode optical fiber is big more, and the light signal that is coupled into multimode optical fiber is many more.Therefore, use the multimode optical fiber of big core diameter, can fully receive the light signal that reflects.Because:
I = I o w 2 e - r 2 w 2 - - - ( 1 )
In formula (1), W is a beam radius, and r is a radius, and I0 is largest light intensity (can referring to Fig. 4).
In Fig. 4, R0 is the distance between single-mode fiber and the multimode optical fiber fibre core, and a2 is the multimode optical fiber fiber core radius, and r is a dash area.
Because dP=∫ d φ ∫ Irdr, then the reflected optical power P of multimode optical fiber reception:
Figure BSA00000279313700091
In formula (2), d is the distance of fiber end face to reflecting body, and a is the fiber core radius of multimode optical fiber.
In Fig. 5, ordinate is the output power of sensor from multimode optical fiber, and horizontal ordinate is the distance of fiber end face to reflecting body; The curve that curve A obtains for experiment, curve B is the theoretical curve that analog computation obtains.In this simulation,, can suppose that reflector surface is smooth fully in order to obtain perfect relation curve.
In Fig. 6, the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device can be used for measuring tired, and the material surface roughness also can be used for measuring corrosion.First optical fiber (being single-mode fiber 42) receives the light that light source 1 sends; The light that second optical fiber (i.e. first multimode optical fiber 42) reception is returned from the surface reflection of reflecting body 5; Photo-detector 3 receives the light signal that reflects.According to the luminous power size that photo-detector 3 receives, can obtain the situation of fatigue, material surface roughness and the corrosion variation of object reflector 5.
When carrying out the fatigue measurement, because reflecting body 5 opposite sides bear certain pressure usually, reflecting body 5 is closely to contact with the object that gives its acting force; And the multimode optical fiber end face remains unchanged to the distance of reflecting body 5.Under long-time stressed situation, the micromechanism of reflecting body 5 will change, and therefore impels reflector surface also will produce micro-variations (such as surfaceness); Its surperficial changing condition is associated with the acting force that applies, and its fatigue period is relevant with it.Because reflecting body 5 surfaces change, its surface reflectance also will change, and the luminous power that photo-detector receives also will change; According to the relation of above parameter, fatigue state that can monitoring object.
It is consistent with tired measuring method to measure the material surface roughness, and the multimode optical fiber end face remains unchanged to the distance of reflector surface, and the reflection coefficient of reflector surface since a variety of causes change, such as steel in the annealing front and back.
In Fig. 9, reflecting body is a stainless steel, and sensor probe is 0-4mm to the distance on steel surface, and stainless steel surfaces grinds through the sand paper of 4 kinds of variable grains, obtains the stainless steel surfaces of four kinds of different roughness.With its surfaceness of Fibre Optical Sensor monitoring, can obtain E, H, F, four curves of D.
When the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device was used for corrosion measurement, this reflection-type optical fibre sensor device was directly to be placed in the test environment; Because corrosion generally is to begin from object surfaces,, thereby can produce a hole on the top layer then slowly to the endosexine infiltration.Because fiber end face apart from d variation has taken place to reflecting surface, and because corrosion, variation has also taken place in the reflectivity of reflector surface, and the luminous power that therefore reflects also will change.In Fig. 9, because the aggravation of reflector surface corrosion, the degree of depth in hole and area all can strengthen, and the luminous power that photo-detector receives also will produce bigger variation; According to the optical power value that photo-detector receives, can the surperficial corrosion situation of monitoring object.
In Fig. 7, the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device is a pressure transducer, and during gaging pressure, the sensor reflecting body also closely contacts with the target that gives its acting force; Connect support 7 and play a part to connect reflecting body 5 and sensor probe 2, constitute a device that is similar to piston; Reflecting body 5 can be selected soft reflectance coating for use, closely contacts with the object that gives its acting force.When carrying out pressure sensing when measuring, if sensor probe is fixed, after reflecting body receives extraneous acting force, will produce displacement, will change to the end face distance of mirror based fiber optica, thereby the luminous power of detector reception is changed.According to luminous power, shift length and apply the relation between the acting force three can obtain the size of the acting force that reflecting body bears.
Unlike traditional fiber-optic pressure sensor instrument, acting force is on optical fiber; The reflection-type optical fibre sensor device is according to the variable in distance of fiber end face to a reflecting body, and causes receiving the variation of fiber optic, light power, comes gaging pressure; And optical fiber itself does not bear pressure, can well protect optical fiber like this, improves the reliability and the serviceable life of sensor.
In Fig. 7, if reflecting body 5 is replaced by thermally sensitive metal material, just can be used for monitor temperature, as temperature sensor; Select the big metal of thermal expansivity, its phenomenon of expanding with heat and contract with cold is apparent in view.When temperature variation, metal is owing to expand or shrinkage, and metallic reflection face will change to the distance of fiber end face, and the luminous power that photo-detector receives also will change.According to the original depth of chaff, fiber end face is to the variable in distance value of metallic reflection face, and the optical power value that photo-detector receives and the thermal expansivity K of metal material can obtain temperature value through calculating.
In Figure 10, reflecting body is 2.5mm to the maximum to the distance of fiber end face; Clearly, locate at preceding half section (0-0.5mm), along with the increase of fiber end face to the distance of reflecting body, the output power of Fibre Optical Sensor slowly increases, and when the 0.5mm place, the luminous power that photo-detector is surveyed is maximum; (0.5mm-2.5mm) locates in the second half section, and along with the increase of fiber end face to the distance of reflecting body, the output power of Fibre Optical Sensor slowly reduces, and apart from 2.5mm the time, the output power of sensor is minimum, and the luminous power of photo-detector detection is minimum at that time.Know that by Figure 10 we have two operation windows to select, i.e. two wave bands of 0~0.5mm and 0.5mm~2.5mm.Obviously,, set up corresponding relationship, through signal Processing, can be used for monitoring pressure, environment temperature, object corrosion etc. if we get wherein linear relationship wave band (can referring to arrow indication zone among Figure 10) preferably.
Because the probe of Fibre Optical Sensor is very thin, length is the shortest even can reach several millimeters, and therefore diameter can, can be embedded in the object to be measured less than 1mm easily, and this object is had no effect.And because optical fiber is very thin, one or more pairs of optical fiber can be packaged together, and make a plurality of sensor probes, through the reflection of a plurality of differences, come the performance variation of monitoring objective.Through statistical calculating, come target of prediction contingent variation in the future.
In order fully to receive the light signal that reflects from reflecting body, can encapsulate many parallel multimode optical fibers (referring to Figure 11) around single-mode fiber in the stainless-steel pipe of sensor probe, make the catoptrical multimode optical fiber of reception be increased to two perhaps more than two.In the sensor probe of Figure 11, A, B, C are multimode optical fiber, and D is a single-mode fiber, and the multimode optical fiber uniform ring is around single-mode fiber, and dash area is the fibre core of optical fiber.
Multimode optical fiber is connected with photo-detector through fiber coupler, and light channel structure can be referring to Figure 12; Perhaps every root multimode fiber is connected with photo-detector separately, and light channel structure can be referring to Figure 13.In Figure 12, the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device can improve the luminous power that gets into photo-detector, and sensor can be operated in more under the rugged environment, prolongs the serviceable life of sensor; In Figure 13, the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device can increase area and detection sampled point that sensor is surveyed, can improve the precision of measuring like this; Use above two kinds of structured optical fiber sensors, big meaning is also arranged for the reliability aspect that improves sensor measurement.
The reflection-type optical fibre sensor device of the foregoing description, probe adopt stainless-steel tube, the optical fiber of at least two parallel placements of encapsulation in the steel pipe, and it is little to have a volume, good airproof performance, advantages such as anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), and be easy to processing, realize easily; Can be widely used in fatigue of materials, stress, the detection of aspects such as material surface roughness, corrosion and temperature has good market outlook.
In sum, the reflection-type optical fibre sensor device of various embodiments of the present invention, owing to comprise light source, photo-detector and sensor probe, wherein: sensor probe receives the incident light that light source sends, and after treatment, the reflected light that obtains is sent to photo-detector; Owing to adopt sensor probe, can imbed in the various objects under test, the structure of object under test there is not influence, do not receive various electromagnetic interference (EMI) on every side, under the situation of strong electromagnetic, still can work, so use occasion to be many, serviceable life is long; Thereby can overcome volume in prior art environment, serviceable life big, that can not be used to have electromagnetic interference (EMI) short with the relatively poor defective of decay resistance, with realize that volume is little, applied widely, the advantage of long service life and good corrosion resistance.
What should explain at last is: the above is merely the preferred embodiments of the present invention; Be not limited to the present invention; Although the present invention has been carried out detailed explanation with reference to previous embodiment; For a person skilled in the art, it still can be made amendment to the technical scheme that aforementioned each embodiment put down in writing, and perhaps part technical characterictic wherein is equal to replacement.All within spirit of the present invention and principle, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
