Description

Optical fiber coil, manufacturing method thereof and optical fiber gyroscope
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber optic gyroscopes, and particularly relates to a fiber optic coil, a manufacturing method thereof and a fiber optic gyroscope.
Background
The fiber optic gyroscope is a fiber optic angular rate sensor based on the Sagnac effect, and has the advantages of small volume, light weight, high precision, full solid state, long service life, strong shock resistance, large dynamic range and the like. Based on the advantages, the fiber-optic gyroscope inertial navigation system is widely applied to various fields of sea, land and air, and becomes an ideal inertial device in the inertial navigation system.
With the continuous progress of the optical fiber gyroscope technology and the gradual popularization of system application, the application requirements of various fields on the high-precision optical fiber gyroscope are increasingly urgent, and particularly in some long-endurance high-precision water surface and underwater application occasions, the high-precision optical fiber gyroscope is required to have high precision, and meanwhile, higher requirements are provided for the continuous long-term working scale factor stability of the gyroscope.
According to the working principle of the fiber-optic gyroscope, the phase formula caused by the Sagnac effect is as follows:

Figure SMS_4
Is the scale factor of the fiber-optic gyroscope,
Figure SMS_5
. From equation (1), the scale factor inherent to the fiber optic gyroscope is proportional to the length and diameter of the fiber optic coil and inversely proportional to the average wavelength of the light source.
The scale factor of the fiber-optic gyroscope is an important index for characterizing the performance of the gyroscope. The scale factor is the ratio of the output quantity of the fiber-optic gyroscope to the input angular rate, can be represented by a certain specific straight line slope on the coordinate axis, is an index reflecting the sensitivity of the gyroscope, has the stability and the accuracy which are important indexes of the fiber-optic gyroscope, and comprehensively reflects the test and fitting accuracy of the fiber-optic gyroscope. The stability of the scale factors is dimensionless and is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm). The errors in the scale factors are mainly due to temperature variations and instability of the polarization state of the fiber.
The fiber optic gyroscope, especially the high precision fiber optic gyroscope, has very high requirements for the stability of the scale factor, and usually requires control to be in the range of several ppm (parts per million). The stability of the average wavelength of the light source at present can be controlled within 1-2 ppm, which can be ignored, and the change of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fiber coil affects the main error source of the stability of the scale factor of the high-precision optical fiber gyroscope.
The optical fiber coil is a core sensitive component of the high-precision optical fiber gyroscope, and the temperature performance stability and the anti-interference capability of the optical fiber coil are main factors influencing the performance of the high-precision optical fiber gyroscope. The optical fiber gyroscope has high precision requirement, and the length and the diameter of a coil to be wound are long and large, the length of the wound coil reaches thousands of meters, even dozens of kilometers, and the diameter of the coil is also more than 100 mm. Because the optical fiber required by coil manufacture is long and large in diameter, the number of winding layers is large, and the winding symmetry of the coil is difficult to guarantee, the coil is sensitive to the influence of external environmental factors after the ring is formed, and the environmental factors are usually distributed on the whole optical fiber ring unevenly. Because the coil has the inevitable problems of uneven filling colloid, uneven winding stress, uneven curing stress and the like, the optical fiber coil is influenced by the external environment frequently for a long time and can be deformed in the axial direction and the radial direction. The coil shape variable is mainly influenced by the modulus of the filled colloid, the linear expansion coefficient, the winding stress, the curing stress and the long-term reliability of the colloid. The deformation of the coil causes the length (L) and the diameter (D) in the scale factor KSF formula to change, so that the scale factor stability of the fiber-optic gyroscope is influenced, and the stability of the fiber-optic gyroscope is reduced, so that the deformation of the fiber-optic coil is effectively inhibited, and the effective inhibition of the change of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the fiber-optic coil is one of the main methods for stabilizing the scale factor of the gyroscope.
The problems existing at present are that: because the optical fiber wound by the coil for the optical fiber gyroscope has long length, large diameter and thick layer number, the optical fiber is easy to generate axial and radial deformation after being excited by environmental factors and releasing stress when working for a long time in the optical fiber gyroscope, and the scale factor stability of the optical fiber gyroscope is reduced.

The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The first embodiment is as follows: an optical fiber coil comprises an optical fiber layer 1, a colloid 3 and a low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2; the colloid 3 is filled between the optical fibers of the optical fiber layer 1, the optical fiber layer 1 and the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 are arranged at intervals in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil, and the linear expansion coefficient of the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 is smaller than that of the colloid 3.
Because the coil has the inevitable problems of uneven filling colloid 3, uneven winding stress, uneven curing stress and the like, the deformation quantity of the coil in the axial direction and the radial direction is mainly influenced by the modulus of the filling colloid 3, the linear expansion coefficient, the winding stress, the curing stress and the long-term reliability of the colloid 3, and the optical fiber coil is influenced by the external environment frequently for a long time to cause the deformation of the optical fiber coil in the axial direction and the radial direction (as shown in figure 1). Coefficient of linear expansion, also called coefficient of linear expansion. The linear expansion coefficient of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 is smaller than that of the colloid 3, so that the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 dispersedly bears stress generated when the colloid 3 is excited by external temperature, the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 inhibits deformation of the colloid 3, deformation of the colloid 3 is reduced, changes of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fiber in the optical fiber layer 1 are reduced, and accordingly stability of the scale factor of the optical fiber gyroscope is improved.
Preferably, the material of colloid 3 is an epoxy resin polymer, and more preferably, the material of colloid 3 is an epoxy acrylate polymer. The linear expansion coefficient of the epoxy acrylate polymer colloid 3 is generally more than 70 multiplied by 10 -6
Preferably, the low expansion coefficient material 5 is carbon fiber, pure titanium, a titanium alloy, an iron-nickel low expansion alloy, an iron-chromium low expansion alloy, or the like.

Preferably, the winding method of the optical fiber coil is four-level symmetrical winding method, eight-level symmetrical winding method and sixteen-level symmetrical winding method, so that the symmetry degree of the optical fiber coil is better, and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher.
Preferably, the optical fiber coil is a frameless coil, so that the optical fiber coil has better symmetry and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher.
Example two: the improvement is carried out on the basis of the optical fiber coil in the first embodiment. A layer 2 of low expansion coefficient material is arranged between adjacent optical fiber layers 1.
In this way, the deformation of the colloid 3 between adjacent optical fibers is inhibited by the low expansion coefficient material layer 2, so that the change of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fibers in the optical fiber layer 1 is further reduced, and the stability of the scale factor of the fiber-optic gyroscope is further improved (as shown in FIG. 2).
Example three: the improvement is made on the basis of the optical fiber coil in the first embodiment. The low expansion coefficient material layer 2 is in the shape of a net with holes 4, and a plurality of holes 4 are uniformly distributed on the low expansion coefficient material layer 2.
The low coefficient of expansion material layer 2 can separate optical fiber layer 1 and colloid 3 partly, and the netted low coefficient of expansion material layer 2 of foraminiferous 4 is favorable to colloid 3 to pass hole 4, is favorable to optical fiber layer 1 fully to be immersed in colloid 3, has improved the homogeneity of environmental factor at the distribution of optical fiber coil. The reticular low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 with the holes 4 is beneficial to the colloid 3 to pass through the holes 4, and can also prevent the optical fiber layer 1 layering on the two sides of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2, so that the optical fiber coil is prevented from loosening, and the stability of the optical fiber coil is improved.
Preferably, the thickness of the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil is 0.05 to 0.20 of the diameter of the optical fiber. The excessively thick low expansion coefficient material layer 2 can cause the thickness of the optical fiber coil to be obviously increased, the installation of the optical fiber coil in a limited space can be limited, and the difficulty of the optical fiber winding process can be increased. The thickness of the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil is 0.05-0.20 of the diameter of the optical fiber, thus, the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 with the thickness can effectively inhibit the deformation of the colloid 3, the change of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fiber in the optical fiber layer 1 is effectively reduced, and meanwhile, the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 with the thickness cannot occupy too much thickness in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil, so that the volume of the whole optical fiber coil cannot be excessively increased, the optical fiber coil cannot be limited when being installed in a limited space, and the difficulty of the process for winding the optical fiber cannot be increased on the other hand.
Preferably, the width of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 in the axial direction of the optical fiber coil is consistent with the width of the optical fiber layer 1 in the axial direction of the optical fiber coil, so that the edge of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 on the optical fiber layer 1 is smooth, the symmetry of the optical fiber coil is better, and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher. A plurality of holes 4 are uniformly distributed in the low expansion coefficient material layer 2.
A plurality of holes 4 are uniformly distributed in the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2, so that the optical fiber layer 1 is favorably and uniformly immersed in the colloid 3, the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 uniformly bears the stress generated when the colloid 3 is excited by the external temperature, the symmetry degree of the optical fiber coil is better, the distribution uniformity of environmental factors in the optical fiber coil is further improved, and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher.
Preferably, the shape of the holes 4 is a regular hexagon. The colloid 3 has certain impact on the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 due to stress and deformation generated when being excited by external temperature, and the shape of the hole 4 is a regular hexagon, so that the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 has stronger capability of bearing the impact, and the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 has good structural stability (as shown in figure 3).

Because the coil has the inevitable problems of uneven filling colloid 3, uneven winding stress, uneven curing stress and the like, the deformation quantity of the coil in the axial direction and the radial direction is mainly influenced by the modulus of the filling colloid 3, the linear expansion coefficient, the winding stress, the curing stress and the long-term reliability of the colloid 3, and the optical fiber coil is influenced by the external environment frequently for a long time to cause the deformation of the optical fiber coil in the axial direction and the radial direction (as shown in figure 1). Coefficient of linear expansion, also called coefficient of linear expansion. The linear expansion coefficient of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 is smaller than that of the colloid 3, so that the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 dispersedly bears stress generated when the colloid 3 is excited by external temperature, the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 inhibits deformation of the colloid 3, deformation of the colloid 3 is reduced, changes of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fiber in the optical fiber layer 1 are reduced, and accordingly stability of the scale factor of the optical fiber gyroscope is improved.
Preferably, the material of colloid 3 is an epoxy resin polymer, and more preferably, the material of colloid 3 is an epoxy acrylate polymer. The linear expansion coefficient of the epoxy acrylate polymer colloid 3 is generally more than 70 x 10-6.
Preferably, the low expansion coefficient material 5 is carbon fiber, pure titanium, a titanium alloy, an iron-nickel low expansion alloy, an iron-chromium low expansion alloy, or the like.
Preferably, the low coefficient of expansion material layer 2 has a coefficient of linear expansion of less than 10 x 10-6, about 1 order of magnitude lower than that of the gel 3.
Preferably, the winding method of the optical fiber coil is four-level symmetrical winding method, eight-level symmetrical winding method and sixteen-level symmetrical winding method, so that the symmetry degree of the optical fiber coil is better, and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher.
Preferably, the optical fiber coil is a frameless coil, so that the optical fiber coil has better symmetry and the optical fiber gyroscope has higher precision.
Example five: the manufacturing method of the optical fiber coil in the fourth embodiment is improved. Before the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 is arranged between the optical fiber layers 1, the optical fiber layers 1 are formed by winding optical fibers soaked with glue.
After the low-expansion coefficient material layer 2 is arranged between the optical fiber layers 1, glue is soaked. The outer layer optical fiber layer 1 far away from the center of the optical fiber coil prevents glue infiltrated in the later period from entering the inner layer optical fiber layer 1 near the center of the optical fiber coil, so that the optical fiber layer 1 is not easy to be fully infiltrated in the glue 3.
Before the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 is arranged between the optical fiber layers 1, the optical fiber layers 1 are formed by winding optical fibers soaked with glue, so that glue is soaked at each position of the optical fibers before winding, the combination degree of the optical fibers and the glue is improved, each layer of optical fibers are fully in the environment of the glue 3, the glue 3 is uniformly filled, and in the later stage, the distribution of environmental factors on an optical fiber ring of the optical fiber gyroscope is uniform, so that the changes of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fibers in the optical fiber layers 1 are further reduced, and the stability of the scale factor of the optical fiber gyroscope is further improved.
Example six: the manufacturing method of the optical fiber coil in the fifth embodiment is improved. The method comprises the following steps of arranging a low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 between optical fiber layers 1: a layer of low expansion coefficient material 2 is arranged between adjacent optical fiber layers 1.
In this way, deformation of the gel 3 between adjacent optical fibers is inhibited by the low expansion coefficient material layer 2, so that changes of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fibers in the optical fiber layer 1 are further reduced, and the stability of the scale factor of the fiber-optic gyroscope is further improved (as shown in fig. 2).
Example seven: the improvement is made on the basis of the manufacturing method of the optical fiber coil in the sixth embodiment. The low expansion coefficient material layer 2 is in the shape of a net with holes 4.

The reticular low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 with the holes 4 is beneficial to the colloid 3 to pass through the holes 4, and can also prevent the optical fiber layer 1 layering on the two sides of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2, so that the optical fiber coil is prevented from loosening, and the stability of the optical fiber coil is improved.
Preferably, the thickness of the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil is 0.05-0.20 of the diameter of the optical fiber, so that the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 with the thickness is enough to effectively inhibit the deformation of the colloid 3, effectively reducing the change of the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the optical fiber in the optical fiber layer 1, and meanwhile, the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 with the thickness does not occupy too much thickness in the radial direction of the optical fiber coil, so that the volume of the whole optical fiber coil is not excessively increased.
Preferably, the width of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 in the axial direction of the optical fiber coil is consistent with the width of the optical fiber layer 1 in the axial direction of the optical fiber coil, so that the edge of the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 on the optical fiber layer 1 is smooth, the symmetry of the optical fiber coil is better, and the precision of the optical fiber gyroscope is higher.
Preferably, the plurality of pores 4 are uniformly distributed in the low expansion coefficient material layer 2. Like this, be favorable to optical fiber layer 1 evenly to be immersed in colloid 3, low coefficient of expansion material layer 2 evenly undertakes colloid 3 because of receiving the stress that external temperature arouses the time production, and fiber coil's symmetry is better, has further improved the homogeneity of environmental factor at fiber coil's distribution, and fiber optic gyroscope's precision is higher.
Preferably, the shape of the holes 4 is a regular hexagon. The colloid 3 has certain impact on the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 due to stress and deformation generated when being excited by external temperature, and the shape of the hole 4 is a regular hexagon, so that the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 has stronger capability of bearing the impact, and the low expansion coefficient material layer 2 has good structural stability (as shown in figure 3).
Example eight: the manufacturing method of the optical fiber coil according to the seventh embodiment is improved. The method comprises the following steps of arranging a layer of low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 between every two adjacent optical fiber layers 1, and further comprises the following steps: the method comprises the following steps: winding the optical fiber around the ring winding tool 8 to form a first optical fiber layer 6; step two: the low-expansion-coefficient material 5 surrounds the surface of the first optical fiber layer 6 to form a first low-expansion-coefficient material layer; step three: winding the optical fiber on the surface of the first layer of low-expansion coefficient material layer, and forming a second layer of optical fiber layer on the surface of the first layer of low-expansion coefficient material layer; and continuing to surround the optical fiber layer 1 and the low-expansion-coefficient material layer 2 to the ring winding tool 8 in turn according to the method in the first step, the second step and the third step until the last layer of optical fiber is wound into the last layer of optical fiber layer to form the optical fiber coil (as shown in fig. 4).
