Fiber bragg grating high-frequency acceleration sensor based on flexible hinges

Abstract

The invention provides a fiber bragg grating high-frequency acceleration sensor based on flexible hinges. The fiber bragg grating high-frequency acceleration sensor based on the flexible hinges is composed of a composite base body, an optical fiber and a sensor shell. The composite base body is fixedly arranged in the sensor shell and composed of a base, the two flexible hinges and two inertia mass blocks. The two inertia mass blocks are connected with the base through the flexible hinges respectively, the two sides of the connecting portion are provided with horizontal notches respectively, and a vertical notch is vertically formed between the two inertia mass blocks. The optical fiber penetrates through the two sides of the sensor shell and is arranged in symmetrical optical fiber grooves formed in the two inertia mass blocks. The optical fiber between the two optical fiber grooves is provided with a bragg grating. The bragg grating is arranged at a groove in the center of the position between the two inertia mass blocks. The optical fiber located in the optical fiber grooves is bonded and fixed to the inertia mass blocks through adhesives. The fiber bragg grating high-frequency acceleration sensor based on the flexible hinges is integrated in core structure and convenient to install; the two inertia mass blocks are in lateral symmetry, so that tension strain of the fiber bragg grating bearing inertia force is multiplied, and the sensitivity of the sensor is greatly improved.
