Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the mechanical unit of the example consists of a probe 11 and a common workbench 12, and the optical fiber detection unit consists of laser analysis equipment and a computer. The main structure of the probe is shown in fig. 2, an optical fiber 111 is connected in the middle, and the tail end 118 of the optical fiber is subjected to unique treatment to reflect the reflected light with information. The metal block 112 is embedded into 113, the lower part is connected with an elastic element 116, the elastic element 116 is connected with another metal block 117, the optical fiber 111 passes through the middle of the elements, in addition, the elastic element 114 has supporting function on the inside, the influence of partial gravity on the elastic element 116 can be eliminated, the service life is prolonged, 115 is an adjusting knob used for adjusting the position of the metal block 112, when the position of the metal block 112 is changed, the pressure on the elastic element 116 can be changed, therefore, the elastic element 116 can be deformed, and therefore, the acting force can be generated on the metal block 117, finally, the acting force can be transmitted to the micro force sensor to be calibrated, and because the acting force is mutual, the acting force of the probe is equal to the acting force of the micro force sensor 121 to be calibrated, therefore, the acting force of the micro force sensor 121 can be measured by detecting the acting force of the probe.
As shown in fig. 3, the workbench 12 is mainly composed of a base 122, a bracket 124 and a sliding block 123, the probe 11 is mounted on the sliding block 123, the micro force sensor 121 to be calibrated is placed on the base, the base has enough weight to enable the workbench to be stable, the sliding block 123 is moved during calibration, and the probe 11 slightly contacts the micro force sensor 121 to be calibrated.
The present example uses a Fabry-Perot (F-P) sensor to detect the force applied by the probe, where the Fabry-Perot is a multi-beam interference structure consisting of two mirrors parallel to each other, and the light wave coupled into the F-P is reflected multiple times between the two mirrors M1 and M2, and a portion of the light is output from the other interface. By forming a fabry-perot cavity at the distal end of probe 11 as shown in fig. 4, the cavity length will change slightly as the force changes, i.e. the distance L between mirrors M1 and M2 will change, and we can detect the relevant information in the laser light, and by processing with the laser analysis device we can see the relevant parameters of the force currently applied to the sensor on the computer display screen, thus calibrating the miniature force sensor.
One of the structures of the fabry-perot cavity of the optical fiber end 118 of fig. 2 in this example is shown in fig. 5, where the front end 1181 and the rear end fiber segment 1183 of the optical fiber are separated, a layer of quartz tube 1182 is sleeved outside, and then the quartz tube is fixed on the metal block 117 by using epoxy glue, and other fabry-perot cavity structures including intrinsic type (sensing integral type), extrinsic type, composite type and various variants can also be adopted in this embodiment.
The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and any simple modification, modification and substitution changes made to the above embodiments according to the technical substance of the present invention are all within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
