The invention relates to a float type
optical fiber Bragg
grating density sensor of a Pb-Sn (plumbum-stannum)
molten alloy, belonging to the technical field of photoelectric measurement. The
lower half part of the sensor is arranged inside the Pb-Sn
molten alloy; a
buoyancy force transmission rod is pulled as a tapered float into which lead is filled is subjected to the action of a
buoyancy force and the gravity; the right end of a constant-strength
cantilever fixed on a protecting cylinder is subjected to an upward pulling force through a
steel bar equal armed lever and a connecting rod, so that the constant-strength
cantilever has a deflection deformation, and furthermore the displacement of a central refection
wavelength of an
optical fiber Bragg
grating adhered to the upper and lower surfaces of the
cantilever is generated; a temperature measuring
grating adhered to the inner wall of a connecting rod sleeve is used for measuring the temperature of the
molten alloy; and the density of the molten
alloy under the temperature is calculated according to a
linear relationship between the
buoyancy force to the float and the density of the molten
alloy. As the sensor is arranged into the molten
alloy for on-line monitoring, the
noise interference caused by the on-site environment is reduced, and moreover the constant-strength cantilever is adopted as the
wavelength turning mode, the sensor is strong in interference assistance, high in instantaneity and good in
linearity.
