O conceito inventivo comum aos diversos objetos da invenção consiste na combinação de um elemento magnético a uma fibra ótica contendo uma rede de Bragg.
Sensores baseados em fibras óticas com redes de Bragg (FBG) podem ser utilizados diretamente para medir grandezas como tensão, deformação, temperatura e pressão. Com a utilização de sensores apropriados, outras grandezas físicas podem ser mensuradas, como campo magnético, corrente elétrica, posição etc. Nos sensores FBG, a transdução da grandeza a ser medida é feita em comprimento de onda. Isto traz inúmeras vantagens quando comparamos estes sensores com sensores convencionais onde o resultado da transdução é uma voltagem elétrica. Dentre estas vantagens, podemos citar a imunidade à interferência eletromagnética, menor sensibilidade à falha de conexões, baixo peso e pequenas dimensões, baixo custo, facilidade de multiplexação, além de permitir o sensoriamento remoto sem a necessidade de baterias no local de realização das medições. The present invention provides a magnetic force sensor, its obtaining process and its use. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor comprises: i) at least one magnet; and ii) at least one optical fiber containing a Bragg network. The inventive concept common to the various objects of the invention is the combination of a magnetic element with an optical fiber containing a Bragg network. Fiber-based sensors with Bragg networks (FBG) can be used directly to measure quantities such as stress, strain, temperature and pressure. Using appropriate sensors, other physical quantities can be measured, such as magnetic field, electric current, position, etc. In FBG sensors, the transduction of the quantity to be measured is done in wavelength. This has numerous advantages when comparing these sensors with conventional sensors where the transduction result is an electrical voltage. These advantages include immunity to electromagnetic interference, lower sensitivity to connection failure, low weight and small size, low cost, ease of multiplexing, as well as remote sensing without the need for batteries at the measurement site.
A presente invenção proporciona um novo tipo de sensor de força magnética interrogado por uma FBG. Em uma concretização preferencial, o sensor compreende: i) ímã cilíndrico de NdFeB com um furo passante central com diâmetro de 0,5 mm, diâmetro externo que pode variar de 1 ,0 a 10,0 mm e comprimento que pode variar de 1 ,0 até 10 mm, dependendo da sensibilidade e resolução desejadas; ii) fibra óptica contendo uma rede de Bragg fixada na parte interna do ímã com cola ou adesivos de uso geral, preferencialmente para adesão de substratos metálicos, preferivelmente cianoacrilatos, prioritariamente Loctite 496; iii) encapsulamento confeccionado de material não magnético, preferencialmente acrílico, teflon, vidro ou resina, com uma guia central que permite o deslocamento do ímã no seu interior. Em uma concretização preferencial ilustrada na figura 1 e nos anexos 2 e 3, a parte da fibra óptica acima da rede de Bragg é fixada com cola na extremidade superior do encapsulamento. Basta que o conjunto esteja a alguns milímetros de qualquer estrutura ferromagnética, ou em uma região de gradiente de campo magnético, para que o sensor produza uma resposta (Figura 2). The present invention provides a new type of magnetic force sensor interrogated by an FBG. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor comprises: i) NdFeB cylindrical magnet with a central through hole with a diameter of 0.5 mm, an outside diameter ranging from 1.0 to 10.0 mm and a length ranging from 1, 0 to 10 mm, depending on desired sensitivity and resolution; ii) optical fiber containing a Bragg mesh fixed to the inside of the magnet with glue or general purpose adhesives, preferably for adhesion of metal substrates, preferably cyanoacrylates, primarily Loctite 496; iii) encapsulation made of non-magnetic material, preferably acrylic, Teflon, glass or resin, with a central guide that allows the magnet to move inside. In a preferred embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 and Annexes 2 and 3, the part of the optical fiber above the Bragg mesh is glued to the upper end of the package. It is enough that the array is within millimeters of any ferromagnetic structure, or in a magnetic field gradient region, for the sensor to produce a response (Figure 2).

A força magnética originada pela interação entre o ímã e a estrutura ferromagnética ou fonte de campo a ser monitorada é atrativa. Esta força é transferida de forma axial para a FBG produzindo uma variação no comprimento de onda refletido. O valor da variação do comprimento de onda pode ser relacionado à força magnética entre o material e o sensor através de uma curva de calibração (Figura 3). The magnetic force arising from the interaction between the magnet and the ferromagnetic structure or field source to be monitored is attractive. This force is transferred axially to the FBG producing a variation in the reflected wavelength. The value of wavelength variation can be related to the magnetic force between the material and the sensor through a calibration curve (Figure 3).
Uso do sensor Sensor Usage
A força magnética entre o ímã e material ferromagnético varia em função da distância. Esta variação permite a utilização deste sensor em inúmeras situações como, por exemplo, no monitoramento, com ou sem contato, da integridade de estruturas metálicas, preferencialmente que sejam feitas ou que contenham aço ferromagnético. Uma aplicação possível é o monitoramento de, mas não se limitando a, deformações, deslocamentos, vibrações e corrosão em torres, estruturas e equipamentos utilizados na geração e transmissão de energia elétrica e na indústria de petróleo e gás. Utilizando a facilidade de multiplexação dos sensores FBG, um conjunto de sensores pode ser empregado simultaneamente para obtenção de imagens de áreas de corrosão comumente encontradas em dutos e equipamentos utilizados na indústria de petróleo e gás (Figuras 4 e 5 e Anexos 3 e 4). Uma das vantagens deste sensor é o fato de não requerer a instrumentação prévia da estrutura a ser monitorada. The magnetic force between the magnet and ferromagnetic material varies as a function of distance. This variation allows the use of this sensor in many situations, such as monitoring, with or without contact, the integrity of metallic structures, preferably made or containing ferromagnetic steel. One possible application is monitoring, but not limited to, deformations, displacements, vibrations and corrosion in towers, structures and equipment used in the generation and transmission of electricity and in the oil and gas industry. Using the ease of multiplexing FBG sensors, a set of sensors can be employed simultaneously for imaging corrosion areas commonly found in pipelines and equipment used in the oil and gas industry (Figures 4 and 5 and Annexes 3 and 4). One of the advantages of this sensor is that it does not require prior instrumentation of the structure to be monitored.
Exemplos Examples
A máxima variação no comprimento de onda do sensor de força magnética à rede de Bragg obtida, com a utilização de um exemplo de ímã com 3,0 mm de diâmetro externo e 5,0 mm de comprimento é de 3 nm, para uma distância de 50 m entre o sensor e uma placa ferromagnética. Nesta distância,
o valor da força que atua no sensor é de aproximadamente 2,0N. Sua sensibilidade estimada em comprimento de onda é de 10 pm, que corresponde a uma força de 20 mN. A faixa de distância útil para utilização do sensor é de 5,0 mm. A presente invenção proporciona também o uso de arrays destes sensores, como ilustrado no Anexo 5. The maximum variation in wavelength of the magnetic force sensor to the Bragg network obtained using an example of a magnet with a 3.0 mm external diameter and 5.0 mm long is 3 nm for a distance of 50 m between the sensor and a ferromagnetic plate. In this distance, The value of the force acting on the sensor is approximately 2.0N. Its estimated wavelength sensitivity is 10 pm, which corresponds to a force of 20 mN. The useful distance range for sensor use is 5.0 mm. The present invention also provides the use of arrays of these sensors as illustrated in Annex 5.
O ímã usado no sensor da presente invenção gera um campo magnético no equipamento/estrutura, que vai gerar outro campo magnético em resposta a este, criando na região entre o sensor e o equipamento/estrutura um gradiente de campo. Isto faz que o ímã colado na fibra seja atraído pelo equipamento ou estrutura, portanto, tensionando a fibra e a rede de Bragg, alterando o comprimento de onda refletido por ela. Como o gradiente de campo depende da distância entre o ímã e o equipamento ou estrutura um mapeamento utilizando o sensor ou a utilização de uma matriz de sensores pode gerar uma imagem da superfície do equipamento ou estrutura. Portanto, pode-se dizer que o sensor da presente invenção é um sensor ativo, pois ele gera o campo magnético e mede a resposta deste campo no material ferromagnético. The magnet used in the sensor of the present invention generates a magnetic field in the equipment / frame, which will generate another magnetic field in response to it, creating in the region between the sensor and the equipment / frame a field gradient. This causes the magnet bonded to the fiber to be attracted to the equipment or structure, thus tensioning the fiber and Bragg mesh, changing the wavelength reflected by it. Since the field gradient depends on the distance between the magnet and the equipment or structure, a mapping using the sensor or the use of a sensor array can generate an image of the surface of the equipment or structure. Therefore, it can be said that the sensor of the present invention is an active sensor as it generates the magnetic field and measures the response of this field in the ferromagnetic material.
