In recent years the optical fiber sensing technology of Xing Qiing has that anti-electromagnetic interference capability is strong, highly sensitive, electrical insulating property is good, safe and reliable, corrosion-resistant, can constitute plurality of advantages such as optical fiber sensor network, all have broad application prospects in fields such as industry, agricultural, biologic medicals, especially in high temperature, inflammable and explosive environment, use to have innate advantage.Present hot spot technology is fiber-optic grating sensor and distributed sensor, and the latter is to serve as typical case representative with the optical fiber transducer based on brillouin effect.Fiber-optic grating sensor is typical quasi-distributed sensor, can only monitor the strain of discontinuous some spots by a plurality of gratings of series connection, and be the monitoring that realizes the pipeline strength rehabilitation effect, need realize monitoring to the strain at whole reinforcement position, so this technology is not suitable for the evaluation of reinforcing effect.Distributed sensor is fit to the continuous monitoring of long distance, for example can realize the leakage monitoring of tens kilometers left and right sides pipelines based on the distributed sensor of Brillouin scattering.But distributed sensor demodulation techniques complexity is of a high price, is not suitable for the monitoring of reinforcing effect.
The model utility content
The purpose of this utility model is: design a kind of spatial resolution height, cost low, be applicable to high temperature, inflammable and explosive environments, can carry out the long-time optical fiber transducer monitoring device of measuring in real time, be used for long-time, the non-maintaining monitoring of pipeline strength rehabilitation section.
The monitoring device of evaluation pipeline strength rehabilitation effect described in the utility model, by optical fiber transducer, portable (FBG) demodulator and data analysis acquisition system constitute;
Optical fiber transducer is made up of measuring optical fiber probe and two fiber optic probes of reference optical fiber probe, and fiber optic probe adopts the general communication Single Mode Fiber, and the fiber optic probe structure becomes the coiling shape, and the size of probe is adjustable between ¢ 25-¢ 200mm; Be embedded in reinforcing material inside or adhere on pipeline external surface, the end of fiber optic probe is coated with high-reflecting film, constitutes metallic-membrane plating reflector; The measuring optical fiber probe is connected with receiving interface of optical with the light transmission interface of portable (FBG) demodulator by 3dB optical coupler A with the reference optical fiber probe;
Portable (FBG) demodulator is made of reference interferometer, light source and detection demodulation circuit; Reference interferometer is a Michelson's interferometer, is connected 3dB optical coupler B by two fiber optic interferometric arms of fixed length optical fiber and length-adjustable optical fiber and constitutes; The end plating high-reflecting film of fixed length optical fiber form metallic-membrane plating reflector, and length-adjustable optical fiber is connected with a piezoelectric constant PZT micrometric displacement regulator, and 3dB optical coupler B is connected with photoelectric detector with receiving interface of optical respectively; The LED light emitting diode is connected with the light transmission interface, and operation wavelength is 1.31 μ m, adopts the continuous light source modulation; Detecting demodulation circuit is connected and composed successively by photoelectric detector, preamplifier, wave filter, A/D converter and internal data processor; Internal data processor difference linking number is acquisition system and piezoelectric constant PZT micrometric displacement regulator according to one's analysis.
Two probes of optical fiber transducer are through after encapsulating, and the measuring optical fiber probe is fixed on the reinforcement position, and reinforcing material can be converted to the elongation and the contraction of probe optical fiber with the change in displacement of pressure, rigidity in the tube wall.Reference optical fiber probe is fixed on the pipeline and is 90 ° position with the reinforcement position, it is popped one's head in measuring optical fiber be under the same temperature.Because optical fiber transducer is only monitored the length difference of two optical fiber, have only mechanical deformation influential to the result, and other interference, for example temperature and pressure changes the variation of the optical fibre refractivity that causes, influence to two optical fiber is the same, so can balance out, the optical path difference of two fiber optic probes is linear change with the shift value δ of measuring optical fiber probe, so the reference optical fiber probe can be realized the compensation to temperature effect.
The low-coherent light that the light source led light emitting diode sends is after three-dB coupler A beam splitting, enter two fiber optic probes of optical fiber transducer, after the reflector emission of fiber optic probe end, through three-dB coupler A mix the back by Optical Fiber Transmission to portable (FBG) demodulator, interfere arm for two that are delivered to reference interferometer respectively, in three-dB coupler B, mix after being reflected, form interference signal, and detect reception by photoelectric detector.The detection demodulation circuit that photoelectric detector, preamplifier, wave filter, A/D converter and internal data processor are formed can be realized the detection of interference fringe envelope.Under the feedback control of internal data processor, piezoelectric constant PZT micrometric displacement regulator can change the light path of length-adjustable optical fiber, the optical path difference of tracking illumination fiber sensor changes, when two of reference interferometers interfere the optical path difference of arm to equal the optical path difference of two probes of optical fiber transducer, detect demodulation circuit and can detect interference peaks, thereby realize absolute measurement fiber optic probe shift value δ.Portable (FBG) demodulator will record data δ and deliver to the data analysis acquisition system by serial ports.

The low coherence interferometry principle:
Producing low coherence interference needs two interferometers (reference interferometer and sensing interferometer), and sensing interferometer is converted to the variation of measurand the variation of optical path difference; The reference interferometer mutual incoherent optical signal of self-sensing interferometer in the future overlaps and produces interference.Like this, output terminal just can be observed the interference fringe of output signal: output intensity has maximum value when the optical path difference of two interference fringes equates, corresponding fringe contrast is also maximum, is called the center striped.Be to satisfy the acquisition of low degree of coherence light source and the detection two large problems of zero order interference fringe, require the coherent length of used light source both should satisfy optical path difference, again greater than the difference of two interferometer optical path differences much smaller than two interferometers.In the systematic survey process, by changing the micrometric displacement instrument, make the light path difference and the method that the light path difference of sensing interferometer equates of reference interferometer, directly obtain the changing value of sensing interferometer optical path difference, thereby realize measured absolute measurement.
Optical fiber transducer of the present utility model constitutes sensing interferometer, and Michelson's interferometer is integrated in the portable (FBG) demodulator and constitutes reference interferometer, and piezoelectric constant PZT micrometric displacement regulator constitutes the micrometric displacement instrument.In optical fiber transducer, the strain of reinforcing material is converted into the fiber lengths displacement of measuring optical fiber probe, and the reference optical fiber probe is realized temperature correction.The optical path difference of measuring optical fiber probe and reference optical fiber probe is Δ L
1, it is Δ L that reference interferometer two is interfered the optical path difference of arm

11For considering the self correlation function of spectral emissions characteristic, Δ L is two and interferes path difference.
When the optical path difference of reference interferometer two arms equaled the path difference of sensing interferometer, interference fringe occurred.Change Δ L
