DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, i.e., embodiments.
[0049] like Figure 1-11As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of each part of the fiber optic detector of the present invention. The fiber optic detector includes a mass block component for detecting single-direction fluctuations. The mass block component includes a mass block 22 fixed on a support frame at one end, an optical fiber 21 fixed on the surface of the mass block 22 in the middle part, and an optical fiber contact 20 connected to the two free ends of the optical fiber 21 extending out of the mass block 22.
[0050] The mass block 22 is provided with a cantilever 223, which divides the mass block 22 into a first part 221 connected to the support frame and a second part 222 away from the support frame along the length direction, and the cantilever 223 can drive the second part 222 to swing when vibrated.
[0051] The optical fiber 21 spans the suspended space corresponding to the cantilever 223 on the mass block 22 and is fixedly connected to the first part 221 and the second part 222 of the mass block respectively, so that the part of the optical fiber 21 spanning the suspended space remains horizontal and without bending, thereby enabling the part of the optical fiber 21 corresponding to the cantilever 223 to bend when the cantilever 223 swings. The grating 27 is engraved on the position corresponding to the cantilever 223 of the optical fiber 21, so that when the mass block 22 senses vibration, its second part 222 swings in a fixed direction through the cantilever 223 and drives the optical fiber 21 located above the cantilever to bend. The bending movement of this part of the optical fiber 21 causes the central wavelength of the fiber grating at this position to drift, and the vibration intensity can be determined by reading the optical signal through an external device. In the embodiment of the present invention, a femtosecond laser is used to write the grating.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the optical fiber 21 is located on a surface of the mass block 22 that is perpendicular to the swing direction of the cantilever 223. Preferably, the surfaces of the mass block 22 that are perpendicular to the swing direction of the cantilever are all provided with optical fiber installation grooves 28 extending along the length direction, and the optical fiber can be fixed in the optical fiber installation groove 28 on one of the surfaces by bonding as needed.
[0053] The optical fiber contacts 20 connected to both ends of the optical fiber 21 are finally installed in the socket component 8, so that the optical fiber detector can be connected to an external device or connected in series with the next optical fiber detector through the cooperation of the socket component 8 and the plug component 5 at either end.

In this embodiment, the support frame is a cylindrical inner shell 10, and the inner shell 10 is a hollow structure. Three mass block components are fixed therein, namely, mass block component one 12, mass block component two 13, and mass block component three 14, wherein the swing directions of the above three mass block components are perpendicular to each other, thereby enabling the fiber optic detector to detect the fluctuation intensity in three directions.
[0055] The mass block component 1 12 , mass block component 2 13 , and mass block component 3 14 are all composed of an optical fiber contact 20 , an optical fiber 21 , and a mass block 22 , and the only difference between them is the length of the optical fiber and the size ratio of the mass block.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first part of the mass block 22 is provided with a positioning pin installation hole 29 for the positioning pin 15 to pass through, and the inner shell 10 is also provided with a corresponding positioning pin installation hole, so that the mass block 22 of the present invention is fixedly positioned in the inner shell 10 through the positioning pin 15. That is, the mass block component 1 12, the mass block component 2 13, the mass block component 3 14 and the inner shell 10 of the present invention are limited by positioning guide pins to ensure the relative positions of the mass block component 1 12, the mass block component 2 13, the mass block component 3 14 and the inner shell 10. Preferably, the bottom of the mass block component 1 12 is fixed to the bottom wall of the inner shell, and can swing left and right relative to the inner shell, and the mass block component 2 13 and the mass block component 3 14 are both fixed to the rear end surface of the inner shell 10, and can swing up and down and forward and backward respectively relative to the inner shell, but it is not limited to this.
[0057] The present invention can adjust the swing direction of the cantilever in its mass block by changing the installation position and installation direction of mass block component 1 12 , mass block component 2 13 and mass block component 3 14 , so as to sense the fluctuations coming from different directions.
[0058] Both ends of the inner shell 10 are also provided with a socket component 8, and the socket component 8 includes a socket shell component 18, a socket pressure plate 19 and a fiber optic contact 20. The fiber optic contact 20 is a fiber optic contact 20 in the mass block component connected to the optical fiber 21, that is, the two ends of the optical fiber in each mass block component are respectively connected to the corresponding fiber optic contact 20 in the socket shell component 18 at the front and rear ends of the inner shell, and the corresponding position of the inner shell 10 is provided with a through hole for the optical fiber 21 to pass through, so that the fiber optic detector can be connected to an external device or connected in series between different fiber optic detectors through the socket component at either end.

The optical fiber contact 20 is pressed and fixed in the socket housing component 18 by the socket pressing plate 19 through the matching of the positioning step 30 on it and the step hole 31 on the socket pressing plate 19. The step hole 31 is a U-shaped slot hole with one side open, and the opening size of one side of the U-shaped slot hole is smaller than the internal aperture, so that the optical fiber contact 20 can be loaded into the step hole from one side with a line after the optical fiber 21 is connected and will not fall out from the opening on the side of the step hole. The end face of the inner housing 10 or the end face of the mounting plate 17 is provided with a groove 32 for accommodating the rear end of the socket pressing plate and axially limiting it. After the socket pressing plate and the optical fiber contact are assembled, the socket housing component 18 is fixed to the end face of the inner housing 10 or the mounting plate 17 by the anti-loosening fastener 9, thereby completing the overall fixation of the socket component.

[0063] The detector end of the present invention is also provided with a plug component 5 for realizing the connection with other detectors of external devices. The plug component 5 is fixed to the end of the detector housing 4 by a fastener 2 and plugged into the socket component 8 at the end of the internal push-pull module 3.
