Description

A kind of optic flow sensor based on the doped fiber grating
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber optic sensing device, be specifically related to a kind of Hot Wire Type Flow Sensor spare based on the doped fiber grating.
Background technology
The measurement of flow velocity, flow in the industrial processes such as oil, chemical industry, medicine, energy measurement, environmental monitoring in occupation of very important status.Therefore, flow velocity, flow sensor are indispensable senser elements in fluid detection and control procedure.Traditional mechanical type flow velocity, the flow sensor measuring error is large, precision is low.For example, adopt the current meter of hyperacoustic Flow speed measurer, electromagnetic current meter or acoustical Doppler effect etc., although measuring accuracy is higher, the high and easy electromagnetic wave interference of its cost.Along with the development of optical fiber technology, a lot of flow velocity of optical, flow sensors based on optical principle have appearred.
In recent years, optic flow sensor enjoys people's extensive concern because of its unique advantage.Optic flow sensor is the principle realization of adopting light transmit the time in optical fiber the characteristic (as intensity, phase place, frequency, wavelength etc.) can be subjected to the modulation of flow and corresponding modulation voltage being demodulated into rate of flow of fluid.Compare with traditional flow sensor, optic flow sensor has following advantage: (1) accuracy, highly sensitive; (2) high pressure resistant, high temperature resistant, anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), safe and reliable under inflammable, explosive environments; (3) bandwidth, dynamic range are wide; (4) be convenient to telemeasurement and control; (5) volume is little, quality is light.Owing to having anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), anti-neighbourhood noise, the characteristics such as electric insulating quality and self-security, so optic flow sensor will have huge marketable value.
Traditional flow sensor based on optical fiber mainly contains optical fiber low discharge sensor, optical fiber doppler flowmeter, optical fiber turbine flow transducer, optical fiber vortex flow sensors etc.
The low discharge optic flow sensor is based on Fresnel drageffect measuring flow, has realized the measurement of specific area fluid low discharge.Yet, a little less than fluid flow less makes transducing signal, be unfavorable for the detection of signal, reduced the accuracy of measuring.Now, sensors with auxiliary electrode were only satisfies the needs of oil, well flow measurement, is difficult to be widely used in the measurement of fluid.
The Doppler effect that the optical fiber doppler flowmeter is based on light is determined the flowing velocity of fluid, can realize that the contactless high-precision of speed of moving body is measured.The optical fiber doppler flowmeter can be advantageously applied to places such as solving Large Diameter Pipeline, thick tube wall, cement lining.But in fluid, molecule or bubble are random the existence, thereby have affected its measuring accuracy.
The optical fiber turbine flow transducer is on the basis of conventional turbine flow measurement principle, adopts multimode optical fiber to replace the internal magnetization sensor and the reflection-type optical fiber turbine flow transducer that consists of.The advantages such as it has linearity, good reproducibility, anti-electromagnetic interference capability is strong, the measurement dynamic range is large.But its application is confined to that the scene is not charged, the test of low-viscosity oil gas flow.
The optical fiber vortex flow sensors is a kind of vortex flow sensors of eddy current that produces as non-linear type fluid with optical fiber.Utilize the release frequency of vortex to be directly proportional to flow velocity, obtain fluid flow thereby just can measure frequency.Because optical fiber is in fluid for a long time, so optical fiber may produce the phenomenons such as fracture, wearing and tearing.
At present, Fiber Bragg Grating technology development is very rapid, also emerges in an endless stream based on the sensor of the physical quantitys such as the temperature of fiber grating, pressure, vibration, humidity.Aspect measurement of fluid flow, the target type fiber grating flowmeter combines single or multiple fiber gratings, semi-girder and target formula disk, has improved many reference amounts, security and the accuracy of systematic survey, uses very extensive.The basic functional principle of this class sensor is used on target formula disk for the masterpiece when Fluid Flow in A generation and when transferring on cantilever by transmission rod, the torsional deformation of suspended wall will cause fiber grating deformation, the wave length shift that causes fiber grating, thus the flow value that will measure can be obtained by the variable quantity of measuring wavelength.But this sensor construction is comparatively complicated, and measurement result and semi-girder parameter are closely related, and are difficult to the formulation of the standard that realizes.
In research in sum, existing optic flow sensor respectively has characteristics on performance and method for making, but all has separately shortcoming, embodies a concentrated reflection of the sensing arrangement relative complex, volume is large, serviceable life is partially short, low to reach price high for measuring accuracy.Based on the wide application of optical fibre flowmeter and to the active demand of novel optical fiber flow sensor.
Summary of the invention
For existing fiber flow sensor complex process, serviceable life is short, volume is large, the problem such as expensive, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of Hot Wire Type Flow Sensor spare based on fiber grating.
