Description

Anti-scouring high-temperature strain sensor cast by sapphire fiber grating metal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensors, in particular to a scouring-resistant high-temperature strain sensor cast by sapphire optical fiber grating metal.
Background
The temperature strain sensor has wide application value in the fields of national defense industry, material chemical industry, building health monitoring, security maintenance and the like. With the development of the fields of aerospace technology, high new material smelting, national defense industry and the like, new requirements of higher temperature resistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, scouring resistance, corrosion resistance, high sensitivity, miniaturization, long service life and the like are provided for the temperature strain sensor. Most of the prior commercial temperature sensors are contact type electric sensors based on thermal electromotive force and thermal resistance and non-contact type sensors based on a thermal imaging principle, while most of the commercial strain sensors are electric strain sensors based on platinum sheet type, welding type and wire winding type, and the two types of sensors are more or less limited by problems of electromagnetic interference, limited material tolerance temperature, large volume, single variable measurement and the like, so that the temperature and strain double-parameter simultaneous measurement under a complex environment (such as an ultra-high temperature environment above 1600 ℃) is difficult to meet.
The optical fiber sensor has the advantages of small volume, low cost, high sensitivity, compact structure, convenient integration and multiplexing, realization of multi-parameter in-situ simultaneous measurement and the like, provides a new technical idea for the research of a novel high-temperature strain sensing system, and has achieved a plurality of achievements in the aspect. Currently, fiber temperature sensors mainly include Bragg fiber grating type, blackbody radiation type, fluorescence sensing type and Fabry-Perot type. The Bragg fiber Bragg grating type temperature sensor mainly influences the drift of a specific wavelength of a spectrum through the thermo-optical effect and the thermal expansion effect of the fiber Bragg grating, so that temperature measurement is realized. However, the existing Bragg fiber grating type temperature sensor is mainly limited by the tolerance temperature of the fiber material, and the temperature sensor manufactured by adopting the common fused quartz fiber grating can measure the high temperature of about 1200 ℃ at most, so that the measurement requirement of higher temperature is difficult to meet. The blackbody radiation type optical fiber temperature sensor mainly comprises an optical fiber and an opaque cavity attached to the tip of the optical fiber. It is known from planck's law that the spectral radiant flux detected at the end of the fiber is related to the temperature of the cavity, so that temperature information is obtained by measuring the spectral intensity or intensity distribution. Blackbody sensors can theoretically operate over a wide range of temperatures. However, since the radiation intensity is almost exponentially related to the temperature, the signal intensity in a lower temperature region is weak, and thus achieving a full range accurate measurement of the temperature is a great problem for a blackbody radiation temperature sensor. In contrast, fluorescent temperature sensors are only suitable for measuring low temperatures due to the limitations of the fluorescent material itself. Such sensors are temperature sensing based on temperature dependent decay times of fluorescence or fluorescence intensities of suitable materials. Because the fluorescence quenching effect has weaker fluorescence intensity at high temperature and the background noise of blackbody radiation at high temperature becomes stronger, the high-temperature sensing signal-to-noise ratio of the optical fiber sensor of the sensing principle is poorer, and the application of the optical fiber sensor in high-temperature measurement is limited.
The current methods and sensors for testing in-situ strain of a structure at high temperature are mainly divided into two types: electrical and optical fiber; the electrical strain sensor mainly comprises three strain sensors, namely a foil strain gauge, a welding strain gauge and a wire-wound strain gauge, and the wire-wound strain gauge can work at 1000 ℃ and the welding strain gauge can work at 600 ℃ at the highest, so that the foil-type working temperature is lower; the optical fiber type mainly comprises a quartz fiber strain sensor and a sapphire fiber strain sensor. Quartz fiber strain sensors can work at 1000 ℃ at most, but for application environments above 1000 ℃, strain sensing test technology based on sapphire fibers (melting point of 2050 ℃) can only be adopted. In addition, electrical strain gauges such as foil strain gauges and soldering strain gauges require an electrical signal output line when applied, which not only limits the temperature at which they are used, but also is subject to electromagnetic interference. And some electric strain sensors have large volume, even need to punch holes on an engine for measurement, and the structure of the measured object is easily influenced. The sapphire optical fiber strain sensor has the advantages of small volume, electromagnetic interference resistance, easiness in multiplexing and the like, meanwhile, the sapphire optical fiber strain sensor has the characteristics of high temperature resistance (the melting point is 2050 ℃), high hardness (Mohs 9) and the like of a sapphire material, and the sapphire optical fiber is a feasible scheme for being applied to the optical fiber high-temperature strain sensor. The existing sapphire fiber grating high-temperature strain sensor main measurement systems are all based on multimode fiber systems (such as China patent CN210774419U, the system composition does not mention multimode solutions, uncertainty exists in the measurement system), more high-order modes exist, signals are easy to be interfered by vibration, bending and the like of the optical fibers, larger instability exists, the line width of a reflection spectrum is larger (the existing systems are all between 1nm and 10 nm), the measurement precision is not high, the mode change is obvious in a high-temperature state, the reflection spectrum signal is unstable, and larger measurement errors exist; in addition, there are systems based on single-mode fiber fusion-spliced sapphire fibers (such as chinese patent CN110118614 a), but in principle, according to the mode selection effect of the single-mode fiber itself, and the existence of a single-mode field region in the sapphire fiber near the fusion point (10 mm), where a grating is written to realize few-mode or single-mode transmission, this method is difficult to apply in a wide range of high-temperature fields, and this method cannot realize strain measurement in the high-temperature fields. There is a need for a sapphire fiber grating metal cast, anti-scour, high temperature strain sensor that overcomes the above-mentioned shortcomings.

The pouring method of the anti-scouring type high-temperature strain sensor based on the cascade type sapphire fiber 4 grating metal pouring is shown in fig. 2, the sapphire fiber grating sensor 18 is fixed through the fixing frame 20, and the sapphire fiber grating sensor 18 is kept in the center of the pouring groove 12; then pouring the molten casting metal 8 into the casting mold through the pouring slot 11; the molten casting metal 8 then passes through a filter screen 14 below the pouring trough 11 to remove impurities from the metal; clean molten metal enters the casting groove 12 through the channel 13, high temperature and solidification strain of the molten casting metal 8 act on the sensing position of the sapphire optical fiber 4 grating, so that Bragg wavelengths of the first grating 5 and the second grating 6 drift, data collection is carried out through the grating demodulator 17, and finally data processing is carried out through the computer 19, so that temperature and strain monitoring is realized.
The working principle of the grating is as follows:
The femtosecond laser direct writing fiber grating technology mainly modulates the refractive index of a fiber core periodically through laser, so that the FBG is equivalent to a narrow-band filter and can reflect the characteristic light wave, wherein the basic formula of grating design is as follows:
λBragg=2neffΛ
Where lambda Bragg is the Bragg wavelength, n eff is the effective refractive index of the fiber core, and lambda is the grating period. When temperature and strain act on the grating, the temperature affects the effective refractive index and the grating period respectively mainly through the thermo-optic effect and the thermal expansion effect, so that the Bragg wavelength is changed; the strain affects the effective refractive index and the grating period of the optical fiber respectively mainly through the elasto-optical effect and the axial stretching deformation of the optical fiber material, thereby achieving the effect of changing the Bragg wavelength, and the main formula is as follows:
ΔλBrogg=2ΛΔneff+2neffΔΛ
the refractive index and temperature, and strain are as follows:
wherein mu is Poisson's ratio; p 1i is the photoelastic tensor pockels piezoelectric coefficient; p is the effective elasto-optical coefficient; ζ is a thermo-optic coefficient; epsilon is the axial strain; delta T is the amount of temperature change.
The relationship between cycle and temperature, strain is as follows:
Wherein α is the coefficient of thermal expansion.
The Bragg wavelength is related to temperature and strain as follows:
When the optical fiber at one grating in the double grating structure is protected by the corundum tube, the grating at the position is isolated from the interference of strain and is only sensitive to temperature; the unprotected gratings are sensitive to temperature and strain at the same time, and because the two gratings are different in corresponding Bragg wavelength, the strain information in the measurement of the other grating can be further demodulated by the temperature compensation of the protected gratings in the measurement process, so that the double-parameter measurement of temperature and strain is realized.
The invention has reasonable structure, can realize single-mode system transmission, effectively filter out high-order modes, reduce 3dB bandwidth and improve measurement accuracy; the problems of instability, low measurement precision and the like of a multimode system are avoided; meanwhile, the difficult problem of strain measurement in a high-temperature state can be realized.
