Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber sensing, and particularly relates to a simple optical fiber bending deformation device.
Background
Fiber bend deformers are devices widely used in the field of optical fibers. And the bending deformer is used for generating bending loss on the optical fiber so as to realize intensity modulation on the signal light in the optical fiber.
The optical fiber bending deformer commonly used at present is a clamping plate type deformer, the structure of the optical fiber bending deformer is an upper pressing plate and a lower pressing plate, the upper pressing plate and the lower pressing plate are respectively provided with an upper insection and a lower insection which are staggered with each other on the surface contacted with the optical fiber, and the optical fiber is arranged between the upper insection and the lower insection. When pressure is applied, the distance between the upper and lower insections is reduced to bend the optical fiber, so that the modulation of the intensity of signal light in the optical fiber is realized, the structure has less deformed teeth, the length of the sensing optical fiber between the deformed teeth is short, the capability of acquiring data is poorer, the bending curvature of the sensing optical fiber is large, the service life is short, the acquired data has high precision and small dynamic range, or the dynamic range is large and low in precision, the requirements of practical application cannot be met, the preparation process is complex, and the size is large.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a simple optical fiber bending deformation device which is simple in overall structure, large in adjustable light intensity range, high in sensitivity and easy to operate.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the utility model provides a simple and easy type optic fibre bending deformation device, the device includes substrate, bending deformation ware and optic fibre, the bending deformation ware is fixed on the substrate, the bending deformation ware is the elastic rod, optic fibre is the heliciform winding on the surface of bending deformation ware along the axis direction of bending deformation ware, the both ends of optic fibre are the free end. The bending deformer can be set to be proper in length and diameter according to actual needs.
The central axis of the bending deformer is parallel to the plane of the substrate, namely the bending deformer is horizontally fixed on the substrate.
The bending deformer is cylindrical, and the cross section of the bending deformer is circular.
The side of the bending deformer is smooth, so that the situation that the optical fiber is extruded or deflected when being wound is avoided, and the situation that the bending degree on the partial optical fiber is locally changed in an initial state is avoided.
And two ends of the bending deformer are fixed on the substrate.
A gap for the optical fiber to pass through is formed between the middle part of the bending deformer and the substrate, so that the optical fiber is prevented from being extruded in an initial state.
The gap is larger than the diameter of the optical fiber.
The bending deformer is made of elastic materials, and the elastic materials comprise materials such as rubber, latex and the like.
The pitch of the optical fiber is greater than the diameter of the optical fiber. The number of windings of the optical fiber can be adjusted by changing the pitch of the optical fiber, thereby modulating the light intensity in the optical fiber.
When the device is used, the two ends of the optical fiber are connected with the connecting points, and then external force is applied to the bending deformer to deform the bending deformer, so that the bending degree of the optical fiber is changed.
The external force is applied to the side face of the bending deformer, and the bending deformer deforms in the radial direction.
When the device is manufactured, the length and the diameter of the bending deformer are adjusted according to the actual light intensity modulation requirement.
When the bending deformer is installed, no pressure is applied to the bending deformer, namely the bending deformer is not deformed in the initial state, so that the bending loss of the optical fiber wound on the bending deformer is as small as possible. Because the unstressed cross section of the bending deformer is circular, when external pressure is applied to the side face of the bending deformer, the cross section is changed from circular to elliptical, and the ovality of the cross section is changed along with the change of the external pressure, so that the bending degree of the optical fiber is changed.
The principle of adjusting the optical signal intensity in the optical fiber is consistent with the principle of the prior art, namely the ellipticity of the elastic rod is changed by adjusting the applied pressure, the pressure is increased, the cross section of the elastic rod is flattened, the bending degree of the optical fiber wound on the elastic rod is increased, the loss of the optical wave is further increased, the adjustment of the optical signal intensity in the optical fiber is realized, and the adjustable optical attenuation is realized. The invention makes full use of the characteristics of the material, so that the modulation parameters of the bending deformer change along with the external pressure, and the bending degree of the optical fiber is changed by changing the ovality of the elastic rod.
In conclusion, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
the invention adopts an elastic rod made of elastic material as a bending deformer, the optical fiber is wound on the elastic rod, the shape of the cross section of the elastic rod is adjusted by utilizing the change of the external pressure, the bending degree of the optical fiber is changed, and the intensity of signal light in the optical fiber is modulated to realize adjustable light attenuation. And meanwhile, the degree of light attenuation is easily changed by adjusting the winding turns of the optical fiber. The invention has simple structure, and the sensing parameters (such as the length and the diameter of the bending deformer and the winding turns of the optical fiber) are convenient to adjust and easy to realize.
