It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a fiber optic grating sensor, comprising: two mounting brackets 1, sensing components 2 mounted on the inner walls of the two mounting brackets 1, optical fibers 3 mounted on both ends of the sensing components 2, adjustment structures 4 provided on the arc surfaces of the two optical fibers 3, and auxiliary structures 5 provided on the surfaces of the two mounting brackets 1.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The adjustment structure 4 includes a ring 401, which is movably connected to the optical fiber 3. A fixing frame 402 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the ring 401. A cover frame 403 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 402. A limiting rod 404 is threadedly inserted into the side of the cover frame 403 away from the fixing frame 402. The arc surface of the limiting rod 404 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 402. Several storage slots 406 are formed on the surface of the fixing frame 402. Several positioning slots 407 are formed on the surface of the fixing frame 402 at positions corresponding to the storage slots 406. A positioning rod 408 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the positioning slot 407. An elastic band 409 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing frame 402. An elastic band 409 is fixedly connected to the end away from the fixing frame 402. The card plate 410 is slidably connected to the arc surface of one of the positioning rods 408. The fixing frame 402, together with the elastic band 409 and the cover frame 403, stores the excess length of the optical fiber cable 3, making it convenient for users to manage the optical fiber cable 3 and preventing the optical fiber cable 3 from being tangled and damaged. The upper surface of the cover frame 403 has a reserved groove 405. The cover frame 403 is moved and flipped with the reserved groove 405, making it convenient for users to operate the cover frame 403. Both ends of the card plate 410 are fixedly connected to rubber blocks 411. The rubber blocks 411 drive the card plate 410 to move, improving the comfort of users when operating the card plate 410. One end of the positioning rod 408 is arc-shaped, which makes it easy for the card plate 410 to be fitted onto the positioning rod 408.

[0033] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The auxiliary structure 5 includes two support blocks 51, which are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. A bidirectional screw 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each support block 51. Two movable frames 53 are threadedly connected to the arc surface of the bidirectional screw 52. The lower surface of each movable frame 53 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 1. A clamping block 54 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each movable frame 53. A mating block 55 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping block 54. A mating rod 56 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of each movable frame 53. The arc surface of the mating rod 56 is slidably connected to the clamping block 54. By operating the bidirectional screw 52, ​​the two clamping blocks... Block 54 fixes the mounting bracket 1 in the designated position. The two clamping blocks 54 can be stored. When it is inconvenient to clamp, the mounting bracket 1 can be fixed by drilling and installing screws. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 52 are fixedly connected with several anti-slip protrusions. The anti-slip protrusions are evenly distributed on the bidirectional screw 52. The anti-slip protrusions increase the friction at both ends of the bidirectional screw 52, ​​making it easier for the user to rotate the bidirectional screw 52. Several anti-slip textures are opened on the side of the two clamping blocks 54 that are close to each other. The anti-slip textures increase the friction on the surface of the clamping blocks 54, making the limiting effect of the clamping blocks 54 better.

[0034] The working principle of the fiber optic grating sensor provided by this utility model is as follows: By setting the adjustment structure 4, firstly, the rotation limit rod 404 is rotated. The limit rod 404 moves along the cover frame 403 away from the fixed frame 402 by means of the thread, releasing the limit on the cover frame 403. The cover frame 403 is then flipped upward, moving away from the fixed frame 402. Then, the operating plate 410 is disengaged from the positioning rod 408 in the positioning groove 407. Similarly, the operating plate 410 and the elastic band 409 are moved upward away from the fixed frame 402. Then, the ring 401 and the fixed frame 402 are moved to a suitable position along the fiber optic line 3. Next, the excess length of the fiber optic line 3 is wound sequentially into the multiple storage slots 406 on the fixed frame 402. Then, the elastic band 409 is pulled to block the fiber optic line 3 in the storage slots 406. The operating plate 410 is then fitted onto the positioning rod 408 in the appropriate positioning slot 407. Finally, the cover is rotated to close. The frame 403 is fixed in position by rotating the limiting rod 404 in the opposite direction. When the fiber optic cable 3 needs to be laid out, the clamping plate 410 is first disengaged from the positioning rod 408 and moves towards the ring 401 along the gap between the clamping frame and the fixing frame 402. The clamping plate 410 is moved through the corresponding number of positioning slots 407 according to the number of loops to be laid out. Then the clamping plate 410 is placed on the positioning rod 408 at the corresponding position. Then the limiting rod 404 is operated to open the frame 403 and the fiber optic cable 3, which is no longer servoed by the elastic band 409, is taken out from the storage slot 406. The frame 403 is moved and flipped with the help of the reserved slot 405 to facilitate the operation of the frame 403 by the user. The clamping plate 410 is moved with the help of the rubber block 411 to improve the comfort of the user when operating the clamping plate 410. One end of the positioning rod 408 is arc-shaped to facilitate the clamping plate 410 to be placed on the positioning rod 408.

[0035] By setting the auxiliary structure 5, the two clamping blocks 54 are first moved downwards. The clamping blocks 54 move downwards along the inner wall of the moving frame 53, and the clamping blocks 54 drive the docking block 55 to move. When the docking block 55 is aligned with the docking rod 56, the two clamping blocks 54 are moved away from each other. The clamping blocks 54 drive the docking block 55 to fit onto the docking rod 56. Then, the entire mounting frame 1 is moved closer to the designated installation location, so that the two clamping blocks 54 are located on the crossbeam of the installation location. Then, the bidirectional screw 52 is rotated. The bidirectional screw 52 drives the two moving frames 53 to move closer to each other through the thread. The two moving frames 53 drive the clamping blocks 54 to move through the docking rod 56 and the docking block 55. The two clamping blocks 54 are clamped and fixed at the designated location in the direction of moving closer to each other. Among them, the anti-slip protrusions increase the friction at both ends of the bidirectional screw 52, ​​making it easier for the user to rotate the bidirectional screw 52. The anti-slip texture increases the friction on the surface of the clamping blocks 54, making the limiting effect of the clamping blocks 54 better.

[0036] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
