Description
The present invention relates to a method for fixing an optical fiber grating sensor and a fixing structure thereof, and more particularly, when an optical fiber grating sensor is fixed to a fixture of a sensor device, the optical fiber grating sensor can be fixed in a short time and has an excellent production efficiency and enables accurate sensing. It relates to a grating sensor fixing method and its fixing structure.
The fiber optic sensor is not corroded, so it has high durability, is not affected by electromagnetic waves, and can be multiplexed.
Various measuring sensors are used to analyze the safety of buildings and other structures, but the use of fiber optic sensors is gradually increasing as a replacement for conventional measuring systems. As the optical fiber constituting the optical fiber sensor as shown in FIG. 1, the core (Fiber Core, 2) and cladding (3) having different refractive indices so that the incident light is totally reflected, and the jacket (4) for protecting the core and the cladding It is usually composed of.
The optical fiber sensor using the
In other words, the one-point type optical fiber sensor is simple to measure the change amount of strain, temperature and pressure of the part where the optical fiber sensor is mounted, but it is necessary to mount the optical fiber sensor to various parts when the target is applied to a plurality of parts. There may be some limitations.
ODTR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) is a typical example of a distributed optical fiber sensor. This has the advantage that it is useful to measure the overall behavior of the structure using a single optical fiber.
Multi-type fiber optic sensor is a type in which two or more single-point optical fiber sensors are installed in one optical fiber sensor, which corresponds to an FBG sensor (Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor).
The FBG sensor generates a grating by inducing a change in refractive index by periodically scanning a laser in the ultraviolet region to a Ge-doped optical fiber core, as shown in FIG. 2, and generates a grating. It is an optical device that reflects light. When the broadband spectrum is incident on the optical fiber, the wavelength component satisfying the condition is reflected on the optical fiber grating, and the remaining wavelength component passes through and appears in the optical spectrum analyzer.
In addition, the FBG sensor is composed of germanium-silica glass, which is not affected by electromagnetic waves at all, and has a physical advantage that corrosion by moisture or moisture does not occur.
In addition, the FBG sensor has the advantage of installing several Bragg gratings on one strand of optical fiber and installing several sensing units on one strand of optical fiber, and the optical fiber has a very small transmission loss of 0.2 dB per km. This allows the fiber to extend up to tens of kilometers. Since there is little loss of the light source, the FBG sensor has a great advantage to be applied to very long structures such as bridges, railways, rails and pipelines.
Due to these excellent characteristics, the FBG sensor can solve various shortcomings of the conventional electrical resistive sensor, and can measure minute strain and temperature of the structure, and thus has been spotlighted as an alternative to the conventional measuring device.
The
The optical fiber is coated with a covering jacket of about 245 ~ 250 ㎛ because of the risk of its own breakage, mostly acrylate coating. The coated jacket has the advantage of protecting the optical fiber, but if it is directly attached to the coated jacket surface and the test specimen without partially peeling the optical fiber, slippage occurs between the jacket and the cladding to accurately measure the tensile behavior and the behavior against long-term deformation due to the tensile force. It becomes impossible to do.
In order to measure the exact physical deformation of the object, the cladding part of the object and the optical fiber grating sensor must be fixedly attached. For this purpose, the acrylic coating of the fiber grating sensor at the attachment point must be peeled off. However, at this time, the optical fiber sensor of the stripped part is generally lower in strength than the optical fiber sensor of the other part, and when deformation occurs, the stripped part is easily broken or difficult to attach the optical fiber sensor to the sensor package.
In order to prevent the slip phenomenon generated in this way using a fastener (7) as shown in Figures 4 and 5, this fastener (7) is a through
However, when the optical fiber is fixed to the fixture (7) using an instant adhesive such as epoxy, it is difficult to contact air in the through hole (7-3) of the fixture (7). In the case of the instant adhesive, when it is stored, it has a liquidity with a low molecular weight compound, and when it comes into contact with air, a polymerization reaction is caused by moisture in the air to solidify and adhere to a high molecular compound. It takes a long time to be satisfied enough to solidify.
It takes a lot of time to manufacture because the optical fiber is fixed to the
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for easily fixing an optical fiber grating sensor to a fixture, and to provide a fixing structure thereof.
The fiber optic grating sensor is completed to be attached in a short time to increase productivity, and to configure the fiber grating sensor to be stably fixed.
The present invention is a structure for fixing the optical fiber grating sensor in the sensor device using the optical fiber grating sensor to achieve the above object,
In the state in which the uniform groove 11-1 is formed on the upper surface of the
As described above, the present invention can fix the optical fiber grating sensor to the fixture within a few seconds or several minutes, there is an effect that can be produced in a short time, the fixing process is not only simple, but also has the effect of easy manufacturing of the fixture.

In describing the present invention, the term or word used in the present specification and claims is based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the term in order to best describe the invention of his or her own. It should be interpreted as meanings and concepts corresponding to the technical idea of
The present invention relates to a structure for fixing the optical
The optical fiber is composed of a core, cladding, and a jacket, which is a coating protecting the core and cladding, and light is transmitted from the core and the cladding, and the material constituting the glass is glass. The transmission of light (light) is transmitted through the glassy core portion having a high refractive index, and the glassy cladding portion having a low refractive index serves to prevent the loss of light transmitted to the core portion.
As described above, since the core part and the cladding part made of glass are vulnerable to external impacts, the core part and the cladding part are protected by a covering jacket such as polymer or acrylate.
As described above, an optical fiber grating sensor generates an optical fiber grating by periodically inducing a refractive index change by periodically scanning a laser in an ultraviolet region to an optical fiber core, and is an optical device that reflects light of a specific wavelength determined by the gap of the grating. When light reaches the grating, wavelength components satisfying certain conditions are reflected from the optical fiber grating, and the remaining wavelength components pass through and appear in the optical spectrum analyzer. Accordingly, when the distance between the gratings is changed by the deformation of the fiber grating sensor, the reflected wavelength is changed by the difference.
This sensitive fiber optic sensor does not strip part of the optical fiber and attaches directly to the coated jacket surface and the test specimen, causing slippage between the catch and the cladding, making it impossible to accurately measure the tensile and long-term deformation due to the tensile force. The coated jacket with the acrylic lake coating protecting the cladding was partially peeled off and then attached to the portion to be measured.
As a result of the test for verifying the slip phenomenon of the fixed optical fiber sensor with respect to the structure in which the optical
In the fastener of the present invention, not only the slip phenomenon occurs in the 8000 micro strain, but also the optical fiber grating sensor can be fixed within a few minutes, resulting in a drastic shortening of production time.
