The invention discloses an insert type tunnel joint displacement sensor, which comprises a distributed strain sensing optical fiber and multiple sets of inserts, a fixed base, and a trigger pad, the inserts are installed on the fixed base, and the fixed base is installed on the tunnel joint The trigger pad is installed on the other side of the tunnel joint relative to the fixed base and the height can be adjusted. The tip of the insert crosses the tunnel joint and contacts the trigger pad. Two adjacent sets of inserts, the fixed base and the The trigger block is arranged symmetrically with respect to the dislocation of the tunnel joint, and the distributed strain sensing optical fiber is symmetrically pasted on the front and back sides of the insert, and multiple sets of inserts are connected in series, and the distributed strain sensing optical fiber is connected to the distributed strain solution. Tuner. Based on distributed optical fiber strain sensing technology, the sensor innovatively designed the structure of a new type of displacement sensor for tunnel joint displacement, which has the advantages of high installation efficiency, wide coverage, large number of measuring points, and good durability. A new method is provided to ensure the structural safety of the shield tunnel.
