本发明的第三目的是提供一种智能化塑料管道的光纤光栅传感器植入方法，本方法具体包括光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的制备、塑料和光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的共挤出成型、内含光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的管材熔接等重要步骤，全面而系统的保证了智能化塑料管道成品的质量，有助于城市管路建设，构建“智慧城市”。
为了实现上述目的，本发明采用如下技术方案：
一种智能化塑料管道的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件，包括基体树脂、光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器和增强纤维，所述光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器平行并列放置，两者均具有多个光栅单元，且光栅单元位置相对应，共同组成一个兼具温度和应变监测功能的光栅对；
所述光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器埋设于基体树脂内，基体树脂内纵向填充有增强纤维。
所述增强纤维在光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件内均匀并列分布，用以支撑起整个光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的骨架。
进一步的，所述光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器每根光纤可刻制多个栅区，形成分布式多点检测的光纤光栅串，栅区之间的间距可根据需要自行设定。
优选的，所述相邻光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器之间的平行间距为0.25～2mm。
优选的，所述光纤光栅温度传感器的栅区用毛细钢管封装，毛细钢管两端进行密封。
优选的，所述光纤光栅温度传感器、光纤光栅应变传感器的纤芯直径为5～50μm。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件为厚0.4～1.2mm、宽1～10mm的矩形条料，以方便进行植入操作。当然，本领域技术人员可以在本发明的工作原理的基础上将其替换为其他形状，如圆柱状等等，但是其目的均是起到使传 感器嵌件兼具柔性、便于缠绕和方便植入，因此，该类改进属于本领域技术人员容易想到的常规替换，理应属于本发明的保护范围。
所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的基体树脂材料与待植入的管道材料相同，以提高光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件与管材的强度相容性、界面相容性和场分布相容性，最大限度地降低传感器长条状嵌件对制品性能的影响，同时减小传感器的应变传递损耗，提高测试精度。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件中增强纤维的熔点至少高出基体树脂熔点60℃，以确保增强纤维在传感器长条状嵌件与塑料管材共挤出成型时不会发生熔融，从而保证传感器长条状嵌件中的光纤光栅在整个植入过程中不会发生偏移和弯折。
常用增强纤维种类较多，优选聚酯纤维、尼龙纤维和氨纶。当然，本领域技术人员可以在本发明的工作原理的基础上将增强纤维替换为其他材质，但是其目的均是起到使传感器嵌件兼具刚度和柔韧性，因此，该类改进属于本领域技术人员容易想到的常规替换，理应属于本发明的保护范围。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件中增强纤维的体积含量为30～50％，从而使传感器长条状嵌件兼具刚度和柔韧性。若增强纤维含量过低，光纤光栅传感器嵌件在拉挤成型时很容易被拉断，嵌件的成型制造困难；反之，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件会由于刚度太大而不易弯折，从而造成传感器长条状嵌件在斜向导入挤出模腔后贴合模腔壁面困难。
所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件需要用颜色标明，以便于定位传感器，同时提醒施工人员注意保护传感器长条状嵌件不被破坏。需要说明的是，传感器 长条状嵌件的颜色不能和管道通用标志颜色冲突，以便于区分。
一种光纤光栅传感器嵌件植入系统，包括机筒本体，所述机筒本体内部设置有容纳腔体，所述容纳腔体内套设有旋转推进部件，旋转推进部件连接传动电机，所述机筒本体一侧设置有挤出机头，所述容纳腔体与挤出机头内部的挤出模腔连通，挤出机头的前端设置有挤出口模；
所述挤出模腔与挤出机头上设置的向外斜向延伸的传送通道连通，传送通道外侧设置有输送光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的传送件，使得其与挤出模腔内的塑料原料一起挤出成型。通过传动电机提供动力，带动旋转推进部件高速旋转搅拌容纳腔体内的塑料原料使其熔融，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件在传送件的导向作用下，经由传送通道被斜向传送至挤出机头内部，贴近挤出模腔表面并与熔融的塑料原料一起通过挤出口模，经冷却定型后得到智能化塑料管材。
进一步的，所述机筒本体上设置有原料入口，原料入口与容纳腔体连通。
优选的，所述旋转推进部件为螺杆。
优选的，所述传送件包括多对辊子，所述辊子成对设置于传送通道前端，依次布设，至少有一对辊子靠近挤出机头，用以调整、定位传感器长条状嵌件的导入方向和角度，引导传感器长条状嵌件向前运行至传送通道。
所述传送通道的截面尺寸根据光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的截面尺寸设定，其宽度比传感器长条状嵌件的宽度大1～2mm，其高度比传感器长条状嵌件的厚度大0.5～1mm，从而确保传感器长条状嵌件可以顺利通过传送通道而不会发生扭转。
优选的，所述传送通道与挤出机头轴线的夹角应小于60°，避免光纤光栅 传感器长条状嵌件在斜向导入挤出模腔后贴合模腔壁面时因过度弯折而断裂。
进一步的，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的嵌入点位于挤出模腔表面并与熔融的塑料一同经过挤出口模，形成内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材。这样的设置保证光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件内植于塑料管材的外表面，便于在后续的熔接操作时将其与管材本体剥离，从而分别实现塑料与塑料的熔接、光纤与光纤的熔接。
所述内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材的长度可根据需要进行切割，但切割位置应避开光纤光栅传感器的栅区部位，与栅区保持至少10cm的距离。
一种智能化塑料管道的制备方法，包括以下步骤：
(1)制备光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件；
(2)将得到的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件由传送通道被斜向传送至挤出机头内部，贴近挤出模腔表面并与熔融的塑料一起通过挤出口模，经冷却定型后即得到内植光纤光栅传感器的塑料管材，并根据需要进行切割和包装；
(3)通过内植有光纤光栅嵌件的连接法兰将塑料管材以及其中的光纤光栅传感器分别熔接，完成管道的贯通以及光信号的中继。
所述步骤(1)中，具体包括：
a)将增强纤维、刻栅完成后的光纤固定于纱架，并使其穿过导纱板，其中，光纤位于中间位置，增强纤维纱束均布于光纤四周；
b)将穿过导纱板的光纤和增强纤维进行烘干、浸润液态高温树脂处理；
c)浸润液态高温树脂后的光纤和增强纤维以拉挤工艺的形式穿过成型模具， 在成型的同时挤去多余的树脂，并排除材料中的气泡，得到一定截面形状的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件；
d)将得到的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件在牵引机的拖曳作用下匀速到达收卷机，进行收卷和包装处理。
所述步骤(3)中，塑料管材的连接法兰内植了光纤光栅传感器嵌件，法兰的两端有引出的光纤接头，将法兰两端的传输光纤接头中的光纤分别与塑料管材中内植的光纤熔接，完成光纤延长、光信号中继。需要说明的是，连接法兰中内植的传输光纤的数量与塑料管材中内植的光纤光栅传感器的数量相同，且颜色一一对应，以确保法兰前后熔接的是同一根光纤光栅传感器。
进一步的，在光纤光栅熔接之前需要将传感器长条状嵌件从管材表面剥离出一小段，长度为4～10cm。将剥离出的传感器嵌件加热熔融以去除光纤外层的封装材料，露出裸纤，以便于熔接。然后将传输光纤熔接后的多余部分置于连接法兰的光纤接头孔内，在塑料管材熔接完成后胶封光纤熔接部位，从而保护光纤光栅传输光路不受破坏。
与现有技术相比，本发明的有益效果为：
(1)本发明提供了一种内植于塑料管道的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件，该传感器嵌件兼具刚度和柔韧性，可以在塑料管材连续挤出成型时被准确可靠地埋入管材表面，避免传感器在恶劣的工况下受损破坏，从而显著提高传感器的存活率和测试精度，同时便于塑料管材之间的熔接以及光纤光栅传感器与传输光纤的熔接；

正如背景技术所介绍的，现有技术中存在工业化连续挤出管材的过程中内植光纤光栅传感器相当困难，在连续挤出管材中植入光纤光栅传感器尚是智能化塑料管道的技术瓶颈，为了解决如上的技术问题，本申请提出了一种智能化塑料管道的光纤光栅传感器植入系统及方法，本发明在塑料管材连续挤出成型的过程中采用斜向导入的方式将光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件准确地埋植于管材外表面，从而把预先内植于长条状嵌件的温度和应变传感器内埋于管材中，确保传感器在恶劣的管道制造和使役环境下存活，实现对管道温度、应变、压力 等参数的实时在线监测。
一种智能化塑料管道的光纤光栅传感器的植入方法，具体包括光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的制备步骤、塑料和光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的共挤出成型管材步骤和内含光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的管材熔接步骤。
其中，第一步：光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的制备步骤。
将增强纤维、刻栅完成后的光纤固定于纱架，并使其穿过导纱板，其中，光纤位于中间位置，增强纤维纱束均布于光纤四周；将上述两种材料进行烘干、浸润液态高温树脂处理；浸润液态高温树脂后的光纤和增强纤维以拉挤工艺的形式穿过成型模具，在成型的同时挤去多余的树脂，并排除材料中的气泡，得到一定截面形状的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件；将上述得到的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件在牵引机的拖曳作用下匀速到达收卷机，进行收卷和包装处理。
制备成的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件为厚0.4～1.2mm、宽1～10mm的矩形条料，包括至少一条温度光纤光栅传感器和一条应变光纤光栅传感器。温度光纤光栅传感器测量温度，应变光纤光栅传感器检测应变，同一嵌件中的所有光纤光栅传感器分别用不同的颜色标记，以便于区分。
进一步的，所述温度光纤光栅传感器和应变光纤光栅传感器平行并列放置，两者的光栅单元位置相对应，共同组成一个兼具温度和应变监测功能的光栅对。此外，每根光纤可刻制多个栅区，形成分布式多点检测的光纤光栅串，栅区之间的间距可根据需要自行设定。
优选的，所述相邻光纤光栅传感器之间的平行间距为0.25～2mm。
优选的，所述温度光纤光栅的栅区用外径0.7mm的毛细钢管封装，两端用 DG-4双组份胶进行密封。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器的纤芯直径为5～50μm。
所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的基体树脂材料与管道材料相同，以提高光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件与管材的强度相容性、界面相容性和场分布相容性，最大限度地降低传感器长条状嵌件对制品性能的影响，同时减小传感器的应变传递损耗，提高测试精度。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件中增强纤维的熔点至少高出基体树脂熔点60℃，以确保增强纤维在传感器长条状嵌件与塑料管材共挤出成型时不会发生熔融，从而保证传感器长条状嵌件中的光纤光栅在整个植入过程中不会发生偏移和弯折。常用增强纤维种类较多，优选聚酯纤维、尼龙纤维和氨纶。
优选的，所述光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件中增强纤维的体积含量为30～50％，从而使传感器长条状嵌件兼具刚度和柔韧性。若增强纤维含量过低，光纤光栅传感器嵌件在拉挤成型时很容易被拉断，嵌件的成型制造困难；反之，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件会由于刚度太大而不易弯折，从而造成传感器长条状嵌件在斜向导入挤出模腔后贴合模腔壁面困难。
光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件需要用特定颜色标明，以便于定位传感器，同时提醒施工人员注意保护传感器长条状嵌件不被破坏。需要说明的是，传感器长条状嵌件的颜色不能和管道通用标志颜色冲突，以便于区分。
第二步，塑料和光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的共挤出成型管材步骤：
得到的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件在开卷后通过多对辊子的夹持、导向和推送作用，经由传送通道被斜向传送至挤出机头内部，贴近挤出模腔表面并与 熔融的塑料一起通过挤出口模，经冷却定型后即得到内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材，并根据需要进行切割和包装处理。
其中，传感器长条状嵌件的夹持、推送、导向装置主要由多对辊子和特制传送通道组成，第一对辊子在距离挤出机头较远的位置，起到推送传感器长条状嵌件向前运行的作用；至少有一对辊子靠近挤出机头，用以调整、定位传感器长条状嵌件的导入方向和角度；传送通道是光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件到达挤出模腔表面的路径，用以确定传感器长条状嵌件在塑料熔体中的初始嵌入位置。需要说明的是，在挤出成型时，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的嵌入点位于挤出模腔表面并与熔融的塑料一同经过挤出口模，形成内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材。此时，光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件内植于塑料管材的外表面，便于在后续的熔接操作时将其与管材本体剥离，从而分别实现塑料与塑料的熔接、光纤与光纤的熔接。
内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材的长度可根据需要进行切割，但切割位置应避开光纤光栅传感器的栅区部位，与栅区保持至少10cm的距离。
第三步，内含光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的管材熔接步骤：
制备的内植光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件的塑料管材在使用时，通过连接法兰(内植了光纤光栅嵌件)将塑料管材以及其中的光纤光栅传感器分别熔接，完成管道的贯通以及光信号的中继。
塑料管材的连接法兰内植了光纤光栅传感器嵌件，法兰的两端有引出的光纤接头，将法兰两端的传输光纤接头中的光纤分别与塑料管材中内植的光纤熔接，完成光纤延长、光信号中继。需要说明的是，连接法兰中内植的传输光纤 的数量与塑料管材中内植的光纤光栅传感器的数量相同，且颜色一一对应，以确保法兰前后熔接的是同一根光纤光栅传感器。
进一步的，在光纤光栅熔接之前需要将传感器长条状嵌件从管材表面剥离出一小段，长度为4～10cm。将剥离出的传感器嵌件加热熔融以去除光纤外层的封装材料，露出裸纤，以便于熔接。然后将传输光纤熔接后的多余部分置于连接法兰的光纤接头孔内，在塑料管材熔接完成后胶封光纤熔接部位，从而保护光纤光栅传输光路不受破坏。

d)将步骤(1)中制备的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件16开卷，开卷后的光纤光栅传感器长条状嵌件16通过传送辊子的夹持、导向和推送作用，经由传送通道18被斜向传送至挤出机头13内部，贴近挤出模腔14表面并与熔融的无规共聚聚丙烯10一起通过挤出口模15，经冷却定型后得到智能化塑料管材19。

  12. 如权利要求11所述的一种智能化塑料管道的制备方法，其特征是：所述步骤(1)中，具体包括：
    a)将增强纤维、刻栅完成后的光纤固定于纱架，并使其穿过导纱板，其中，光纤位于中间位置，增强纤维纱束均布于光纤四周；
    b)将穿过导纱板的光纤和增强纤维进行烘干、浸润液态高温树脂处理；
    c)浸润液态高温树脂后的光纤和增强纤维以拉挤工艺的形式穿过成型模具，在成型的同时挤去多余的树脂，并排除材料中的气泡，得到一定截面形状的光纤光栅传感器嵌件；
    d)将得到的光纤光栅传感器嵌件在牵引机的拖曳作用下匀速到达收卷机，进行收卷和包装处理。
  13. 如权利要求11所述的一种智能化塑料管道的制备方法，其特征是：所述步骤(3)中，塑料管材的连接法兰内植了光纤光栅传感器嵌件，法兰的两端有引出的光纤接头，将法兰两端的传输光纤接头中的光纤分别与塑料管材中内植的光纤熔接，完成光纤延长、光信号中继。
  14. 如权利要求11所述的一种智能化塑料管道的制备方法，其特征是：在光纤光栅熔接之前需要将传感器长条状嵌件从管材表面剥离出一小段，将剥离出的传感器嵌件加热熔融以去除光纤外层的封装材料，露出裸纤，以便于熔接，然后将传输光纤熔接后的多余部分置于连接法兰的光纤接头孔内，在塑料管材 熔接完成后胶封光纤熔接部位，以保护光纤光栅传输光路不受破坏。
