The utility model embodiment provides a kind of optical fiber continous way liquid level sensor system based on CMFTIR effect, as shown in the block diagram in Fig. 1, described continous way liquid level sensor system comprises: LED light source 0, the first light power meter 1, second light power meter 2 and fibre optic liquid level sensor 4.
Wherein, as shown in Figure 2, described fibre optic liquid level sensor 4 comprises nylon rod 41, Active Optical Fiber 42 and passive fiber 43, the center section of described Active Optical Fiber 42 and described passive fiber 43 mutually fits tightly rear screw and is wrapped on described nylon rod 41 and forms continuous macrobend coupled structure and non-sensitive part, and on the optical fiber except center section (i.e. non-sensitive part), all cover has the black fever draw 44.
The center section of two optical fiber is wrapped on nylon rod 41, forms continuous macrobend coupled structure, and this structure to external world medium refraction index is responsive, is the non-sensitive part of two optical fiber; Other parts are that non-sensitive part all puts the black fever draw 44, avoid the impact of unnecessary visible ray.
Optionally, described macrobend coupled structure comprises: parallel continuous macrobend coupled structure, multiple twin continuous macrobend coupled structure or superpose continuous macrobend coupled structure; Wherein, described parallel continuous macrobend coupled structure as shown in Figure 2, place rear screw and be closely wrapped on described nylon rod 41 by the center section side by side parallel of described Active Optical Fiber 42 and described passive fiber 43; The continuous macrobend coupled structure of described multiple twin as shown in Figure 3, after the center section multiple twin of described Active Optical Fiber 42 and described passive fiber 43, utilizes high temperature resistant wire 45 to be wound around two outer fiber, makes two close fiber optic laminatings, and forms integral structure.Then this structure is wound on nylon rod 41 with fixed pitch; Active Optical Fiber 42 as shown in Figure 4, after cutting on nylon rod 41, is first closely wound in bottom in groove by the continuous macrobend coupled structure of described superposition, then passive fiber 43 superposition is wound on Active Optical Fiber 42.
As Figure 1-Figure 4, one end of described Active Optical Fiber 42 connects LED light source 0, and the other end connects described first light power meter 1; One end of described passive fiber 42 connects described second light power meter 2, other end black block 3 sealing; Described first light power meter 1 and described second light power meter 2 are positioned at same one end of described fibre optic liquid level sensor 4.One end that described second light power meter 2 connects is passive fiber forward macrobend coupling port.

Optionally, as shown in Figure 5, closely be wound around with high temperature resistant wire 45 after the center section multiple twin of described two optical fiber, to get rid of the interval error being wound around between two optical fiber and loosening and cause, realize the stable coupling of luminous energy, the internal stress simultaneously avoiding optical fiber multiple twin to produce and the optical fiber caused burst apart.
Optionally, described nylon rod posts in the cylindrical drum of the two open ends of high-reflecting film inside being inserted in.Described high-reflecting film not only can prevent the impact of visible ray, can also be reflected back partial radiation light, improves the efficiency of light energy utilization.
When the covering of optical fiber itself propagates light as waveguide, light at covering-environmental interface by experiences total internal reflection.When extraneous medium becomes liquid from air, the refractive index of extraneous medium becomes large, close to the refractive index even exceeding covering.Now the total internal reflection condition of covering is suppressed or destroys, and can not turn back in fibre core, thus be radiated surrounding space, and produce loss at the part light of covering-environmental interface reflection.This effect is called " cladding mode frustrated total internal reflection " (CMFTIR) effect by us.In common straight optical fiber structure, CMFTIR effect is faint to ignoring.Therefore, need special structure to strengthen CMFTIR effect, and the key strengthening CMFTIR effect is the ratio improving cladding mode in optical fiber.In this example, we utilize the continuous macrobend coupled structure of optical fiber multiple twin to realize the enhancing of CMFTIR effect, first the light of LED light source is imported Active Optical Fiber, macrobend coupling effect is there is in luminous energy by " macrobend coupled structure " position (being helically wound around the part on nylon rod), on the one hand, luminous energy is coupled into passive fiber from Active Optical Fiber; On the other hand, macrobend coupling effect inspires a large amount of cladding modes in passive fiber.Now, CMFTIR effect is enhanced.Utilize POF fibre cladding mould frustrated total internal reflection effect, because liquid refractivity is higher than air refraction, when liquid level changes, the height that liquid floods optical fiber sensitive structure changes, outer fiber refractive index is caused to increase, thus destroy the total internal reflection condition of part of clad pattern, make a part of cladding mode luminous energy generation loss.Along with the rising of liquid level, the luminous energy propagated in optical fiber decreases.Meanwhile, utilize optical fiber macrobend to be coupled the energy trasfer realized between Active Optical Fiber to passive fiber, the cladding mode energy accounting on the one hand in passive fiber is higher, thus obtains more significant CMFTIR effect; Luminous energy is made to be transferred to details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues from light field on the one hand, due to ground unrest extremely low in passive fiber, judge by the forward coupled end output power change detecting passive fiber the height that optical fiber is entirely flooded by liquid, can good signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) be obtained, realize continuous Real-time Liquid Level Measurement.
Prove that optical fiber macrobend coupled structure strengthens CMFTIR effect with experiment below:
Control group: single straight optical fiber, a termination LED light source, a termination light power meter.Finger touches optical fiber, and the power that power meter measures gained does not change, and shows almost not observe CMFTIR effect in complete straight optical fiber.
Experimental group 1: simple optical fiber forms macrobend ring structure, a termination LED light source, a termination light power meter.Finger touches the top of fibre-optical bending part, and the normalized power that power meter measures gained declines about 5%, shows that now CMFTIR effect has and to a certain degree strengthens.This is because optical fiber macrobend causes the change of optical fiber internal mold field, in curved fiber, produce relatively more cladding mode, finger touches and causes more cladding modes to radiate, thus causes the decline of luminous power.Though now have CMFTIR effect to strengthen, but DeGrain.
Multiple twin macrobend coupled structure (TMBCS) made by experimental group 2: two optical fiber, finger touches TMBCS top, compared under straight optical fiber and single macrobend situation, the forward coupled end of passive fiber exports normalized power and have dropped 30%-40%, and fall improves greatly.This is owing to utilizing macrobend details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues to be coupled, and makes the ratio of the cladding mode in the passive fiber of TMBCS be much higher than Active Optical Fiber, thus strengthens CMFTIR effect further, the Be very effective of enhancing.
From above-mentioned experiment, multiple twin macrobend coupled structure can strengthen CMFTIR effect greatly, significantly improves the sensitivity of sensor, improves measuring accuracy.
Below apply one and specifically test proof, the continous way liquid level sensor system that the utility model provides is used for measuring liquid level and can realizes.
Adopt the multiple twin continuous macrobend coupled structure continous way liquid level sensor shown in Fig. 3 by sensor fibre, light power meter and LED light source composition.Sensor fibre be by two bare fibres (Active Optical Fiber and passive fiber) with after fixed step size multiple twin, utilize high temperature resistant wire to be wound around two outer fiber, make two close fiber optic laminatings, and form integral structure.Then this structure is helically wound around on nylon rod with fixed pitch.The sensitive part of sensor fibre is close to the part fiber through the coupling of spiral winding generation macrobend on nylon rod, and the optical fiber be not wrapped on nylon rod is non-sensitive position.In order to shield the impact of visible ray, the bare fibre of the non-sensitive part of two optical fiber being inserted in after in black plastic pipe, then connecting on light power meter or on LED light source.Utilize high temperature resistant wire to be closely wrapped on the multiple twin optical fiber of non-sensitive part, loosen to get rid of to be wound around between two optical fiber the interval error that causes, realize the stable coupling of luminous energy, the internal stress simultaneously avoiding optical fiber multiple twin to produce and the optical fiber that causes bursts apart.In the process of adding water, splashing non-sensitive part to prevent liquid causes result inaccurate, after posting the cylindrical drum of the two open ends of high-reflecting film inside being inserted by nylon rod, the more overall container putting into dress liquid.Only needing when adding water to add water in the middle of cylindrical drum and container, erroneous judgement can not be caused because spattering upper liquid.Wherein high-reflecting film not only can prevent the impact of visible ray, can also be reflected back partial radiation light, improves the efficiency of light energy utilization.
In the experiment of multiple twin continuous macrobend coupled structure level sensing, repeatedly add water in container with friction speed, pouring (A, B, C, D, E five times).Experimental result as shown in Figure 6.
It is relevant with the arrangement of optical fiber that sensor exports Level Performance slope of a curve, and when optical fiber pitch is even, curve is more level and smooth, but in non-linear.When pitch uneven distribution, now family curve undulate change, but overall close to linear.For the result that multiple twin macrobend coupled structure is measured under uneven pitch, linear fit is carried out to it.Can find, because its waveform changes, will larger error of fitting be caused.Utilize the method changing pitch, by test, careful adjustment is carried out to pitch, Level Performance curve finally can be made to present linearly, thus reduce error of fitting, improve measuring accuracy, obtain the linear relationship between forward coupling output power and liquid level.
The utility model embodiment still provides a kind of liquid-level detecting method, and liquid level can measure by the continous way liquid level sensor system according to Fig. 1-Fig. 4, said method comprising the steps of:
101, LED light source provides luminous energy to Active Optical Fiber.
102, the Output optical power obtaining passive fiber forward and be coupled is measured by the second light power meter.
103, acquisition liquid level to be measured is calculated according to described forward coupling output luminous power.

In the utility model embodiment, if the employing of described continous way liquid level sensor system is the continuous macrobend coupled structure of multiple twin shown in Fig. 3, then the pass between described forward coupling output luminous power and described liquid level is: L liquid=(P 2-b)/K, wherein, P 2(unit: nw) is forward coupled end output power, L liquid(unit: cm) is liquid level, and K, b are fitting coefficient.In this patent, forward coupled end output power can be detected by our liquid level sensor.Described continous way liquid level sensor system need carry out curve fitting according to measured data, and calculates acquisition testing liquid liquid level according to concrete fitting formula.In the multiple twin of the present embodiment continuous macrobend coupled structure liquid level sensor, K=-6.8402nw/cm, b=492.9387nw.
Known average sensitivity S is defined as:
S = Δy Δx
Wherein Δ y is the variable quantity of forward coupled end output power, and Δ x is liquid level variable quantity.In this example, Δ y=250nw, Δ x=365mm, then S = Δy Δx = 250 nw 365 mm ≈ 0.68 nw / mm
In this example, because the resolution of power meter is less than 0.1nw.Then the resolution of liquid level sensor system is: 1 S * 0.1 nw ≈ 0.147 mm
If what described continous way liquid level sensor system adopted is the parallel spiral formula macrobend coupled structure shown in Fig. 2, repeatedly add water in container with friction speed, pouring (A, B, C, D, E, F six times).Its experimental result is as Fig. 7.Adopt the method for matching, the pass simulated between described forward coupling output luminous power and described liquid level is:
L liquid=(P 2-b)/K
Wherein, P 2(unit: nw) is forward coupled end output power, L liquid(unit: cm) is liquid level, and K, b are fitting coefficient, by detecting forward coupled end output power, thus can obtain liquid level L liquid.
When the power bracket detected is at 104-122nw, K=-2.0310nw/cm, b=132.2276nw.
When the power bracket detected is at 122-183nw, K=-20.7494nw/cm, b=281.5061nw.
When the power bracket detected is at 183-205nw, K=-5.2159nw/cm, b=209.0623nw.
The average sensitivity of parallel spiral formula macrobend coupled structure liquid level sensor is:
S = Δy Δx = 250 nw 150 mm ≈ 1.37 nw / mm
Resolution due to power meter is 0.1nw, so the resolution of liquid level sensor system is:
1 S * 0.1 nw ≈ 0 . 073 mm
The application utilizes macrobend coupled structure forward macrobend coupling port to extract the extremely low details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues transducing signal of ground unrest, be not vulnerable to the impact of source noise, and general fibre optic liquid level sensor affects for avoiding light source fluctuation, usual employing lock-in amplify circuit, difference and related operation improve signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), but while adding complexity, cost, also reduce response speed.Continuous liquid level sensor of the present utility model utilizes " cladding mode frustrated total internal reflection " (CMFTIR) effect, adopt continuous macrobend coupled structure, enhance CMFTIR effect on the one hand, the detection of liquid level is realized on the one hand with the method for dark field detection, achieve in real time dynamically, continous way liquid level sensor.The method and system of application the application carries out level sensing, and level gauging resolution is high, and response speed is very fast and with low cost.
