AI Technical Summary
Existing non-contact methods for detecting the natural frequency of cantilever beams suffer from insufficient vibration measurement accuracy and susceptibility to environmental noise interference. In particular, machine vision methods struggle to achieve micron-level accuracy, while Michelson interferometers require complex demodulation and are also susceptible to environmental noise interference.
A high-precision, high-interference-resistant broadband optical interferometric cantilever beam natural frequency detection device is adopted. It utilizes near-infrared broadband light, a single-mode fiber coupler, a graded refractive index lens, and a single-point spectrometer to achieve high-precision measurement of the cantilever beam natural frequency through interferometric signal processing. The signal is then calculated by combining Fourier transform and the Hanning window energy centroid method.
It maintains high precision in large amplitude vibration measurement, significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of cantilever beam natural frequency measurement, has strong anti-noise capability, and achieves spatial resolution at the nanometer level.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of non-contact cantilever beam natural frequency measurement technology, and in particular to a broadband optical interferometric cantilever beam natural frequency detection device and method with high precision and strong anti-interference performance. Background Technology
[0002] Methods for detecting the natural frequency of cantilever beams can be broadly classified into two categories: contact and non-contact methods. Traditional contact methods require attaching sensors to the surface of the cantilever beam being measured. The added mass introduced alters the dynamic characteristics of the structure, thus affecting the accuracy of the natural frequency measurement. Therefore, non-contact measurement methods have emerged, which eliminate the need for sensor installation and avoid the added mass effect.
[0003] However, existing non-contact methods still have certain limitations: machine vision-based methods are limited by camera imaging quality, and vibration measurement accuracy is usually difficult to exceed the micrometer level; while laser vibrometers using the Michelson interferometer structure can achieve nanometer-level accuracy, but are limited by the 2π fuzzy effect, require a complex demodulation system to achieve large-range measurements, and are easily affected by environmental noise.

The single-mode fiber couplers (2) re-interact and form interference;
[0011] Step S2: After being collimated by the fiber collimator (9), the interference light is split according to wavelength by the near-infrared transmission grating (8), focused by the convex lens (7), and then collected by the linear CCD camera (6); the collected interference signal The formula is expressed as shown in equation (1):

Simultaneously, it introduces the Hanning window energy centroid method, effectively suppressing spectral energy leakage caused by signal truncation, achieving a spatial resolution at the nanometer scale. This system can maintain high precision while achieving large-amplitude vibration measurements, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of cantilever beam natural frequency measurements.
