Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fiber bragg grating sensing, in particular to an FBG temperature sensor based on a bimetallic cantilever beam and application thereof.
Background
The temperature is one of basic physical quantities given by international units, is one of main parameters needing to be measured and controlled frequently in industrial and agricultural production and scientific experiments, and is an important physical quantity most closely related to daily life of people. At present, the most common electrical temperature sensors are thermocouple temperature sensors and thermistor temperature sensors, but both of the two types of sensors have the defects of low measurement accuracy, poor long-term stability, incapability of long-distance transmission, no electromagnetic interference resistance and the like, and cannot meet the working and using requirements in severe environments such as strong electromagnetic interference radiation and the like.
The k.o.hill et al, the ottawa communication research center in canada, first discovered the photosensitive effect of the fiber in germanium-doped silica fiber in 1978, and made the first Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) in the world by the standing wave writing method. The temperature sensitive characteristic of the FBG is discovered later, and a sensing technology using the FBG for temperature measurement is gradually developed, and a temperature sensor with the FBG as a main core device is called an FBG temperature sensor. The FBG temperature sensor has the advantages of small volume, low loss, high sensitivity, electromagnetic interference resistance, good electrical insulation, large bandwidth and the like, can realize multipoint distributed measurement, is widely applied to industrial and agricultural production and scientific experiments, and has rich research results.
However, the practical requirements of temperature measurement have been driving researchers to improve the resolution and sensitivity of temperature measurement, such as protective packaging and sensitized packaging of FBGs. The protective packaging and the sensitization packaging mainly comprise: the metal substrate type packaging is adopted, two ends of the FBG are respectively fixed on the surface of the substrate material to play a role in protecting the FBG, and if the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate is greater than that of the optical fiber, the temperature sensitivity of the sensor can be improved; the polymer packaging selects a polymeric region material (such as polyimide fiber) with a larger thermal expansion coefficient as a substrate, and compared with the metal substrate packaging, the FBG temperature sensor manufactured by the polymer packaging method has higher sensitivity. Whether the metal substrate type package or the polymer package has a defect in damage resistance, so that the metal tube package or the box-shaped package is used for protective packaging on the outside on the basis of the metal substrate type package or the polymer package to meet the actual use requirement. In addition, the sensitivity of the sensor is improved by means of metallization coating packaging, micro-nano processing packaging, special optical fibers and the like, but the technology is high in cost and far from practical application.
With the rapid development of social economy, the requirements of various industries on the sensitivity of the temperature sensor are higher and higher. Therefore, the method and the structure for improving the sensitivity of the FBG temperature sensor are continuously researched, the FBG sensor with high temperature sensitivity is developed, and the method and the structure have great significance for industrial and agricultural production and scientific experimental development.

For a further understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the examples are illustrative of the invention and not limiting.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides an FBG temperature sensor based on a bimetal cantilever, which includes a bimetal cantilever 120 formed by a bimetal strip 110, wherein a fiber bragg grating 130 is disposed on an outer side of an active layer 111 of the bimetal strip 110, and the fiber bragg grating 130 extends in a direction between a fixed end a and a free end B of the bimetal cantilever 120.
The thermal bimetal 110 in this embodiment may be of a conventional structure, and in the prior art, the thermal bimetal is a very important thermal sensitive element, and is a composite material mainly composed of two or more metal materials with different thermal expansion coefficients, where the metal material layer with a larger thermal expansion coefficient is used as an active layer, and the metal material layer with a lower thermal expansion coefficient is used as a passive layer.
The thermal bimetal 110 in this embodiment has a double-layer structure including an active layer 111 and a passive layer 112. The material of the active layer 111 can be nickel, brass, or an alloy of nickel, copper, manganese, chromium and iron; the passive layer 112 can be invar alloy containing 34% to 50% nickel.
In this embodiment, the thermal bimetal cantilever 120 is preferably formed by fixing one end of the thermal bimetal strip 110, wherein the fixed end of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120 is a fixed end a, and the opposite end is a free end B.
Compared with the conventional sensor structure that only uses the fiber bragg grating 130 for temperature measurement, in the present embodiment, by using the thermal deformation characteristic of the thermal bimetallic strip 110, an additional deformation amount can be introduced into the fiber bragg grating 130, so that the sensing sensitivity of the fiber bragg grating 130 can be better improved. In addition, by constructing the thermal bimetal cantilever beam 120 and extending the fiber bragg grating 130 in the direction between the fixed end a and the free end B of the thermal bimetal cantilever beam 120, the linearity of the fiber bragg grating 130 in the sensing process can be ensured in a teaching mode. Through the structure, the FBG temperature sensor in the embodiment has the advantages of better anti-interference performance, good long-term stability, high measurement precision and the like, and further can carry out high-precision and high-resolution temperature measurement in a severe environment with high temperature, high voltage and strong electromagnetic interference.
In addition, compare in the traditional sensitization mode to FBG temperature sensor, need not special packaging structure in this embodiment, it when specifically using, can be with the one end direct fixation of thermal bimetal piece 110 in the measuring face department or through the fixed knot structure department that will follow after, and then realize the building of thermal bimetal cantilever beam 120 to be convenient for production, manufacturing and use.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the FBG temperature sensor in the present embodiment when the thermal bimetal 110 is not deformed. Wherein the active layer 111 has a thickness h1length l, width c, coefficient of thermal expansion α1Young's modulus of E1(ii) a The passive layer 112 has a thickness h2length l, width c, coefficient of thermal expansion α2Young's modulus of E2。
When the temperature changes, the thermal bimetal 110 may generate bending deformation, i.e. convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients and the uneven thermal stress distribution of the active layer 111 and the passive layer 112. Since the thermal expansion coefficient of the active layer 111 is large, the thermal bimetal strip 110 will bend toward the passive layer 112; meanwhile, due to the structure of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120, the free end B will be displaced to the passive layer 112 side by a certain amount.
As shown in connection with FIG. 2, assume that the temperature of the state shown in FIG. 1 is T0The temperature of the state shown in fig. 2 is T, and the temperature change amount is Δ T ═ T-T0The free end displacement of the cantilever beam is d.
According to the coupled mode theory, the basic formula of the FBG sensing measurement is as follows:
in the above formula, λBIs the central reflection wavelength, Δ λ, of the fiber Bragg grating 130BIs λBamount of change of (a)Fis the thermal expansion coefficient of the optical fiber, ξ is the thermo-optic coefficient of the optical fiber, peΔ ε is the change in axial strain for the elasto-optic coefficient of the fiber.
When the temperature of the existing FBG temperature sensor is measured, no extra strain is introduced, namely the measurement formula is as follows:
therefore, the sensitivity coefficient of the conventional FBG temperature sensor is as follows: kT=αF+ξ。
With reference to fig. 1 and 2, the center of the fiber bragg grating 130 in the present embodiment is set to be located at a position x away from the free end B of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120.
The knowledge of material mechanics shows that the relationship between the displacement d of the free end B and the temperature change amount delta T is as follows:
in the above formula, K is 4+6n +4n2+βn3+1/βn,n=h1/h2,β=E1/E2。
The relationship between the strain at the position where the fiber bragg grating 130 is disposed and the displacement d at the free end B is:
therefore, it can be obtained that the relationship between the strain at the position where the fiber bragg grating 130 is disposed and the temperature change Δ T is:
in the above formula, ∈xI.e. relative to T at a temperature T0The change in strain Δ ∈ in time.
Thus, the temperature sensing expression of the FBG temperature sensor in this embodiment is:
therefore, it can be known that the sensitivity coefficient of the FBG temperature sensor in this embodiment is:
according to KTAnd K'TAs can be seen from the expression in (1), in the present embodiment, an extra strain can be introduced to the fiber bragg grating 130 during temperature measurement through the thermal bimetal cantilever 120, so that the temperature sensitivity coefficient can be effectively improved, and the resolution and sensitivity of temperature measurement can be effectively improved.
In this embodiment, the thermal bimetal 110 is rectangular, one end of the thermal bimetal 110 along the length direction is configured as a fixed end a of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120, and the other end of the thermal bimetal 110 along the length direction is configured as a free end B of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120.
In this embodiment, by setting the thermal bimetal 110 to be rectangular, and making one end of the thermal bimetal 110 along the length direction be a fixed end a and the other end be a free end B, and simultaneously keeping the fiber bragg grating 130 along the length direction of the thermal bimetal 110, the linearity between the extra strain and the temperature change introduced by the thermal bimetal 110 can be better ensured, so as to better ensure the linearity of the FBG temperature sensor.
The FBG temperature sensor of the present embodiment can further include a fixing structure disposed at the fixing end of the thermal bimetal cantilever 120, and the fixing structure is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the thermal bimetal strip 110. Thereby enabling better securing of the thermal bi-metallic cantilever 120.

In addition, when the FBG temperature sensor is actually applied, the temperature can be measured after the FBG temperature sensor is calibrated. Since it is difficult to precisely set the position of the fiber bragg grating 130 in the actual manufacturing process (i.e. x in this embodiment is difficult to precisely set), the FBG temperature sensor can be calibrated better by calibration.
Through the FBG temperature sensor in the embodiment, the sensitivity of the existing FBG temperature sensor can be better improved, and the realization is simple.
