Fibre reinforced plastics-optical fibre grating lombined sensor
(1) technical field
What the present invention relates to is a kind of structure intelligent monitoring sensing element.Specifically a kind of have civil engineering structure stressed with the monitoring bifunctional fibre reinforced plastics-optical fibre grating sensing muscle.
(2) background technology
1978, the phenomenon that photon-induced refractive index changes in the Canadian Hill invention germnium doped fiber was come out the in-core grating.1989, the Meltz invention germnium doped fiber grating ultraviolet sidelights on of the U.S. were gone into technology, and people utilize this technology can make the fiber grating of various constants easily, make cost reduce greatly, for its widespread use is laid a good foundation.Because fiber grating has wavelength selectivity, with the fibre system compatibility, insert advantages such as loss is low, simple in structure, volume is little, with low cost, fiber grating all has a wide range of applications in communication and sensory field.The major advantage that fiber grating is used for sensing is embodied in: can avoid the interference of electromagnetic field, electrical insulating property is good; Not influenced by wet environment; Good endurance has opposing and comprises the various rugged surroundings of high temperature (less than 600 ℃) and the ability of chemical erosion, the ability that has the vibration of bearing and impact; Light weight, volume be little, little to structure influence, be easy to arrange; Both point measurement can be realized, also distributed measurement can be realized; Absolute measurement; Save circuit, only just can the transfer structure status signal with single line; But signal, data multipath transmission are convenient to be connected with computing machine, and signal attenuation is little on the unit length; Highly sensitive, the precision height; Bandwidth, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is high.But because bare optical fibers and bare optical gratings is very thin especially, external diameter is about about 125 microns, and its principal ingredient is SiO
2Therefore fragile especially, especially its shear resistance is very poor, directly it has been run into an installation technics difficult problem as sensing element in engineering reality, can not adapt to the xoncrete structure extensive style mode of production and abominable Service Environment at all, seriously restrict the application of fiber grating in civil engineering work.
Fibre reinforced plastics are compound substances of forming with continuous fiber.This continuous fiber at first is immersed in the polymkeric substance that is used for binder fibre, is processed into needed shape then.According to the difference of kinds of fibers, fibre reinforced plastics can be divided into carbon fiber reinforced plastics, glass fiber reinforced plastics and aromatic polyamide fiber reinforced plastics and mix reinforced plastic etc.Fibre reinforced plastics have tensile strength height, in light weight, corrosion-resistant, nonmagnetic, endurance, easy good characteristic such as processing.Wherein, the fibre reinforced plastics bar can be made the shape of regular reinforcement, is considered to a kind of possible equivalent material of reinforcing bar.The tensile strength of carbon fibre precursor machine direction can reach tens times of regular reinforcement, and the elastic modulus of high-elastic modules carbon fibre can reach 2~3 times of steel, and have higher antimagnetic and shielding property, once in war production, be used for latent row aircraft, antimagnetic and radiation proof engineering.But, the shortcoming that also there is the ductility difference in fibre reinforced plastics as a kind of novel building materials that development potentiality is arranged and technology, be not to replace traditional building materials-steel and concrete, but as an important supplement of traditional architecture, be suitable for the demanding important engineering structures in aspect such as Service Environment, permanance, antifatigue, as underground structure, oceanographic engineering, hydraulic engineering etc.Set up fibre reinforced plastics research association in developed countries such as the U.S., Japan, Canada at present, tentatively formulated the standard of structural design, and be successfully used to actual engineering.
(3) summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of simple in structure, easy to use, both can substitute or part substitutes reinforcing bar as primary structure member, also possess the fibre reinforced plastics-optical fibre grating lombined sensor of intelligent sensing characteristic.The object of the present invention is achieved like this: it comprises fiber reinforced plastic rod, in fiber reinforced plastic rod, be laid with fiber grating along its length, fiber grating is sent into drawing mould with the fibrous material that steeped epoxy resin, process heating, curing, three heat treatment processes of cooling organically constitute one, pitted skin or the winding resin that make for sandblast on the fiber reinforced plastic rod surface.The present invention can also comprise some architectural features like this: 1, the tail end at one section sensing muscle exposes one section optical fiber that is used to connect the compensated optical fiber grating.2, fiber grating is positioned at the centre of fiber reinforced plastic rod.3, the grating on the fiber grating is to have certain-length grating string at interval.The fiber grating of product of the present invention is arranged in the fiber reinforced plastic rod, is to shape in the process by fibre reinforced plastics fiber grating is entered drawing mould together with fibrous bundle, organically constitutes one through Technology for Heating Processing.Because fiber grating and fibre reinforced plastics are fixed good, guaranteed the cooperative transformation of fiber grating and fibre reinforced plastics, thereby the strain of fiber grating induction is exactly the distortion of fibre reinforced plastics.The needs of Temperature Influence and accurate distribution measuring are provided with one section optical fiber that exposes at tail end, so that welding temperature compensated optical fiber grating or cascaded fiber grating sensing element when considering the monitoring of civil engineering structure long-term health.The compensated optical fiber grating places another capillary metal tube, guarantees the influence that it is not subjected to external force.This lombined sensor has the advantage of fibre reinforced plastics and fiber grating concurrently, as high-strength light, antifatigue, corrosion-resistant, advantages such as sensing accuracy is high (can reach 1~2 μ ε), anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), quasi-distributed sensing, absolute measurement, moisture resistance waterproof, stability and good endurance.Simultaneously, this lombined sensor has remedied fibre reinforced plastics and fiber grating some shortcomings separately, as fiber grating overcome fiber reinforced plastic rod from the perception nonlinear problem; And fibre reinforced plastics are a kind of good packaging protections of fiber grating, have overcome bare optical fibers and bare optical gratings and have been difficult to adapt to the requirement that the reinforced concrete structure extensive style is constructed, and have improved the permanance of fiber grating greatly.Like this, fibre reinforced plastics-optical fibre grating sensing muscle just forms the outstanding sensing characteristics of the good mechanical characteristic of fibre reinforced plastics, antirust durable and anti-emi characteristics and fiber grating and organically combines, and has greatly satisfied the needs of civil engineering structure to mechanical property and structure intelligent health monitoring.In addition, fibre reinforced plastics-optical fibre grating sensing muscle can cut into random length according to actual demands of engineering, and is very easy to use, is particularly suitable for industrialization production.
