Abstract

The invention discloses a high-sensitivity optical fiber grating liquid level/fluid pressure sensor. By utilizing the characteristics that the exterior of a C-shaped spring tube tends to be strengthened along with the increase of fluid pressure in the tube and the process is reversible, optical fibers of a grating are fixed at both ends of the spring tube and the working wavelength of the gratingis influenced by the deformation of the spring tube, thus the liquid pressure is further monitored. The proportional relation between liquid pressure and liquid level is considered so that the high-sensitivity optical fiber grating liquid level/fluid pressure sensor can also be used for monitoring the liquid level. The wavelength drift distance and the amount to be measured of a sensor device arein a linear relation and convenient to calibrate. The invention is suitable for monitoring the liquid level or the fluid pressure/pressure intensity in flammable and explosive occasions, such as an oil depot and other occasions with hidden danger and is convenient to carry out network distributed monitoring.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of optical fiber optoelectronics, optical fiber sensing and optical fiber grating sensing, which can be used to monitor liquid level, fluid pressure or pressure. Background technique [0002] In recent years, wavelength-coded Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been successfully used in the sensing of physical quantities such as pressure, displacement, temperature, current, magnetic field, and acceleration, and have received widespread attention. Liquid level is one of the common physical quantities in daily life. Considering the liquid surface tension, the adhesion between the liquid and the container wall, and the possible air bubbles in the liquid, etc., the conventional liquid level measurement method (such as: mechanical float type liquid Level gauge, electronic liquid level sensor, thermal liquid level gauge, radar liquid level sensor, ultrasonic liquid level sensor, isotope / radioactive liquid level sensor, ...
