The "bolt or nut" is not limited to itself, and the present invention also includes any mechanism having a screw thread or the like that can be rotatably connected and fastened to the base.
The head of the monitored bolt in the bolt looseness monitoring device of the embodiment can also be in a quadrangle shape or any other non-circular shape. The number and the arrangement mode of the optical fiber deformation sensors 1 in the bolt loosening monitoring device of the embodiment are not limited to the embodiment, and any mode of monitoring bolt loosening by the deformation of the deformation sensing section 12 of the optical fiber deformation sensor essentially falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 4, a schematic structural view of a looseness monitoring device for a plurality of bolts according to embodiment 1 of the present invention.
The principle of monitoring the loosening of the bolt by the bolt loosening monitoring device in the embodiment 1 of the invention is as follows:
the profiling nuts 8 are sleeved on the head of the tested bolt, mounting clamping positions of the optical fiber deformation sensors are arranged on the profiling nuts 8, the optical fiber deformation sensors 1 on two adjacent profiling nuts 8 and 8L are directly hung in two phases after the bolt is fixed, the two phases are mutually restrained, and the position of a loosened bolt is judged through a strain point. The deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor 1 is not stressed under the condition that the bolt is not loosened, only weak expansion with heat and contraction with cold under the influence of temperature are achieved, and at the moment, the deformation signal output by the optical fiber deformation sensor is zero or outputs a weak deformation signal.
When the tested bolt is loosened, the bolt rotates to drive the profiling nut 8 to rotate, and the bolt is loosened to rotate anticlockwise. For example, when the tested bolt loosens, the bolt loosens and rotates counterclockwise, and the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor 1 is elongated by 2.6mm according to the calculation of 30 degrees of rotation, and if two adjacent bolts loosen simultaneously, the deformation sensing section of the sensor is elongated more, and even a snapping situation occurs. At this time, the optical fiber deformation sensor outputs a large deformation signal or the optical fiber deformation sensor outputs a signal missing, which indicates that the bolt is loosened.
Because any one of the adjacent profiling nuts 8 and 8L rotates, the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor 1 is deformed or broken, at the moment, the conditions of the optical fiber deformation sensors 1L and 1R adjacent to the left and right of the optical fiber deformation sensor 1 need to be checked simultaneously, if the optical fiber deformation sensor 1L on the adjacent left outputs deformation signals or signals lack and the optical fiber deformation sensor 1R on the adjacent right does not output deformation signals or signals lack, it is determined that the bolt where the profiling nut 8L between the optical fiber deformation sensor 1 and the optical fiber deformation sensor 1L on the adjacent left is loosened.
According to the bolt looseness monitoring device in the embodiment 1, two optical fiber deformation sensors are used for monitoring the same bolt, sensing points on two sides of the bolt are monitored, if the deformation signal variation quantity output by two adjacent optical fiber deformation sensors is the same or the signals are lost, the fact that the tested bolt is loosened is shown, background analysis can be conducted, and the test result is more reliable. If the three continuous optical fiber deformation sensors output large deformation signals or signals are lost, the two continuous bolts are loosened.
The number of the sensors in the bolt looseness monitoring device is only one more than that of the bolts to be tested, but one bolt can be monitored by two sensors at the same time, so that the normal operation of monitoring can be still guaranteed under the special condition that one sensor fails, and the purpose of improving the testing accuracy and reliability by adopting fewer sensors is achieved.
The loosening monitoring device for the bolt is also suitable for monitoring the loosening of the nut.

The two ends of the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 are respectively and fixedly arranged on the supporting devices of the adjacent profiling nuts 23 and 24, and the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 is arranged around the edge of the base 25. After the bolts are fixed, the optical fiber deformation sensors 21 on the two adjacent profiling nuts 23 and 24 are simultaneously restrained by the profiling nuts 23 and 24, the deformation induction section of the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 can be deformed or broken by rotating any one of the profiling nuts 23 and 24, the conditions of the optical fiber deformation sensors adjacent to the left and the right of the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 need to be checked at the same time, and if the optical fiber deformation sensor on the adjacent left outputs a deformation signal or signal loss and the optical fiber deformation sensor on the adjacent right does not output a deformation signal or signal loss, the bolt where the profiling nut between the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 and the optical fiber deformation sensor on the adjacent left is loosened is determined. The optical fiber deformation sensor is arranged around the edge of the base 25 according to the arrangement mode of the optical fiber deformation sensor 21 and the optical fiber deformation sensor 22.
According to the bolt looseness monitoring device in the embodiment 2, two optical fiber deformation sensors are used for monitoring the same bolt, sensing points on two sides of the bolt are monitored, if the deformation signal variation quantity output by two adjacent optical fiber deformation sensors is the same or the signals are lost, the fact that the tested bolt is loosened is shown, background analysis can be conducted, and the test result is more reliable. If the three continuous optical fiber deformation sensors output large deformation signals or signals are lost, the two continuous bolts are loosened.
The number of the sensors in the bolt looseness monitoring device is only one more than that of the bolts to be tested, but one bolt can be monitored by two sensors at the same time, so that the normal operation of monitoring can be still guaranteed under the special condition that one sensor fails, and the purpose of improving the testing accuracy and reliability by adopting fewer sensors is achieved.

Example 4
Fig. 13 is a schematic structural view of a bolt or nut loosening monitoring system according to embodiment 4 of the present invention.
The bolt or nut looseness monitoring system of the present embodiment includes several bolt or nut looseness monitoring devices 100 of the above embodiments. In addition, the loosening monitoring system further comprises a signal analysis device 200 and a laser emission device 300. The laser emitting device 300 is in communication connection with an optical fiber deformation sensor in the loosening monitoring device 100; the laser emitting device 300 is used for emitting laser to the optical fiber deformation sensor.
The signal analysis device 200 is in communication connection with an optical fiber deformation sensor in the loosening monitoring device 100; the signal analysis device 200 is configured to receive and analyze an optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor, and determine a bolt or a nut that is loose according to an analysis result. Namely, the signal analyzer 200 is configured to receive and analyze a change in reflected light generated by the laser passing through the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor, and determine the tightness of the bolt or the nut according to an analysis result.
The communication connection between the signal analysis device 200 and the optical fiber deformation sensor may be a wired communication connection. Illustratively, the signal analyzer 200 includes a controller (not shown) connected to the optical fiber 4 via an optical cable.
In addition, the bolt loosening monitoring system in this embodiment further includes a host (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the controller through a network cable, and is configured to receive the detection result sent by the controller.
The signal analysis device 200 is pre-stored with a first corresponding relationship between the serial number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the serial number of the bolt, a second corresponding relationship between the serial number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the sensitive waveband, and a third corresponding relationship between the serial number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the standard center wavelength of the sensitive waveband.
Each optical fiber deformation sensor has sensitivity corresponding to light with a specific wavelength, and the sensitivity refers to the reflection or diffraction of the optical fiber deformation sensor to light energy with a specific wavelength.
In this embodiment, the signal analyzer 200 uses a frequency-sweeping laser, has a function of fast wavelength scanning, can work on any selectable wavelength, performs linear wavelength scanning at a specified speed from a specified start wavelength to a specified end wavelength, and analyzes an optical signal returned by the optical fiber strain sensor using the frequency-sweeping laser, so as to obtain a center wavelength of the optical signal. When the optical fiber deformation sensor receives the laser emitted by the laser emitting device 300, the optical fiber deformation sensor reflects or diffracts light with a specific wavelength. The signal analysis device 200 analyzes the received optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor, and when the central wavelength of the optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor is scanned, the second corresponding relationship between the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the sensitive wavelength band is searched, and the sensitive wavelength band in which the central wavelength is located is searched to determine the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor. And determining the number of the bolt by searching the first corresponding relation between the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the number of the bolt.
The signal analyzer 200 is further configured to calculate a loosening angle of the bolt that is loosened according to the optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor. The signal analysis device 200 compares the center wavelength of the optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor with the standard center wavelength of the sensitive waveband according to the center wavelength of the optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor, calculates the loosening angle generated by the corresponding bolt, determines the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor by searching the third corresponding relationship between the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor and the standard center wavelength of the sensitive waveband, and determines the loosening angle generated by the corresponding bolt.
The bolts are provided with numbers such as L1, L2 to Ln when being installed; each optical fiber deformation sensor is also provided with numbers such as T1a, T2a to T (n +1) a; bolt L1 is disposed between optical fiber deformation sensors T1a and T2a, bolt L2 is disposed between optical fiber deformation sensors T2a and T3a, and bolt Ln is disposed between optical fiber deformation sensors Tna and T (n +1) a. The optical fiber deformation sensor with the number T1a can reflect or diffract light with the wavelength of 332nm, and the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number T2a can reflect or diffract light with the central wavelength of 352 nm. Therefore, when the signal analysis device 200 analyzes that the center wavelength of the received optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor is 332nm, which sensitive band the 332nm is in is searched, and then the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T1a can be determined through the first corresponding relationship, so as to determine the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor, and then the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T2a is determined in the same way. The optical fiber deformation sensors numbered T1a, T2a simultaneously monitor the loosening of the bolt numbered L1, the optical fiber deformation sensors numbered T2a and T3a simultaneously monitor the loosening of the bolt numbered L2, and so on, the optical fiber deformation sensors numbered Tna and T (n +1) a simultaneously monitor the loosening of the bolt numbered Ln.
When a certain optical fiber deformation sensor is deformed by tensile force due to the fact that a corresponding bolt is loosened, the central wavelength of an optical signal reflected by the certain optical fiber deformation sensor can be shifted, but the shift amount of the central wavelength of the optical signal reflected by each optical fiber deformation sensor is limited, and in this embodiment, it is ensured that the central wavelength of the optical signal reflected by each optical fiber deformation sensor cannot coincide with each other when the central wavelength of the optical signal reflected by each optical fiber deformation sensor is shifted to the maximum. Therefore, when the center wavelength of the optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor received by the signal analysis device 200 is shifted, the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor reflecting the light can be determined; for example, the signal analysis device 200 may confirm that the optical fiber strain sensor numbered T1a is deformed in the first correspondence relationship that the center wavelength of the optical signal returned by the optical fiber strain sensor is 334nm, and the maximum deviation range of the center wavelength of the optical signal reflected by the optical fiber strain sensor numbered T1a is the wavelength 334 nm. And then, determining that the standard central wavelength of the sensitive waveband of the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T1a is 332nm by searching for a third corresponding relation, and subtracting the standard central wavelength of the sensitive waveband from the central wavelength of an optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T1a to obtain that the optical fiber deformation sensor generates 2nm deformation, thereby obtaining that the bolt loosens by 5 degrees. When the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T3a deforms or loses signals, bolts with the number of L2 or L3 are predicted to loosen, at the moment, which bolt is loosened needs to be determined according to the condition of the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of adjacent optical fibers, and if the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T2a deforms or loses signals, and meanwhile, the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T4a does not deform or lose signals, the bolt with the number of L2 is determined to loosen; if the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T2a is not deformed or loses signals, and the optical fiber deformation sensor with the number of T4a is deformed or loses signals, the bolt with the number of L3 is determined to be loosened, and therefore, which bolt is loosened is determined.
Compared with the time-sharing multiplexing mode in the prior art, the invention realizes continuous and short-time frequency-division detection by adopting the frequency-sweeping laser, and positions the corresponding optical fiber deformation sensor through the central wavelength to determine the position of the loosened bolt, so that the method is not limited by the time interval of time-sharing multiplexing, has high efficiency and can find problems in time.
The bolt loosening monitoring system in the embodiment further comprises an alarm device 400, wherein the alarm device 400 is in wireless communication connection with the signal analysis device 200; the data analyzed by the signal analysis device 200 includes the number of the bolt and the loosening angle generated by the bolt; the data analyzed by the signal analysis device 200 is uploaded to the alarm device 400, the alarm device 400 judges whether the loosening angle generated by the bolt exceeds a preset threshold value, and if the loosening angle exceeds the preset threshold value, the alarm device 400 generates an alarm signal corresponding to the number of the bolt; if the alarm device 400 does not receive the data uploaded by the signal analysis device 200 within the preset time period, assuming that the preset time is 10 seconds, an alarm signal corresponding to the number of the bolt that is not received will be generated. If the bolt is loosened slightly, the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor is not broken and deformed, and at the moment, the signal analysis device 200 receives a deformation signal output by the optical fiber deformation sensor, so that the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor is stretched and deformed by 2.6mm when the bolt rotates by 30 degrees; when the bolt continues to rotate, the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensing is continuously elongated and even broken. The threshold value of the loosening angle of the preset bolt is 5 degrees, when the loosening angle received by the alarm device 400 is larger than 5 degrees, the bolt is considered to be loosened, the alarm device 400 can generate an alarm signal and send the alarm signal to an operator, the operator sends a maintenance instruction, and meanwhile, the follow-up loosening condition is monitored. If a bolt is not flexible, the deformation induction sections of the optical fiber deformation sensors on two sides of the bolt are driven to be stretched and deformed, the deformation induction sections of the stretched optical fiber deformation sensors are broken at the limit, a signal source signal is lost at the moment, and the signal analysis device 200 detects the signal loss. If the signal analysis device 200 detects that the signal output by the optical fiber deformation sensor is missing, the deformation sensing section of the optical fiber deformation sensor is broken, the corresponding bolt is indicated to be greatly loosened, the maintenance is needed and the sensor is replaced, at the moment, the signal analysis device 200 determines the number of the normal optical fiber deformation sensor according to the received optical signal returned by the optical fiber deformation sensor, the number of the optical fiber deformation sensor which is broken is determined, the bolt of a specific certain number or a certain number is determined to be loosened, the alarm device 400 gives an early warning to an operator, and the operator sends a maintenance instruction. Under normal conditions, one bolt can be loosened continuously, and the optical fiber deformation sensor can continuously detect deformation data, so that when the bolt loosening angle is monitored to be small, the optical fiber deformation sensor can be maintained and recorded at first, and monitoring is continued. Moreover, if one bolt loosens, the other bolts may loosen at the same time, and at this time, the signal analyzer 200 may record all the loosening information of all the bolts.
The not hard up monitoring system of bolt of this embodiment, at key bolts such as fan blade, unable adjustment base, with the optic fibre deformation sensor that more one than the bolt number of being surveyed, arrange this optic fibre deformation sensor in the middle of two adjacent bolts, install one on two adjacent bolts additional with nut profile modeling cap or profile modeling nut, carry out the not hard up monitoring of bolt. The nut profiling cap or the profiling nut rotates along with the loosening of the bolt, so that deformation induction sections of optical fiber deformation sensors on two sides of the detected bolt are deformed and even broken, the optical fiber deformation sensors transmit deformation signals to the signal analysis device 200, the signal analysis device 200 transmits signals of each point to a fan operator through Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, action hotspot) signals to perform data analysis, problems are found in time, and the fan is maintained after early warning without blind and purposeful maintenance.
The number of the sensors in the bolt looseness monitoring device is only one more than that of the bolts to be tested, but one bolt can be monitored by two sensors at the same time, so that the normal operation of monitoring can be still guaranteed under the special condition that one sensor fails, and the purpose of improving the testing accuracy and reliability by adopting fewer sensors is achieved.
