[0047] The signal conversion module 200 is in communication connection with the first fiber grating group 122 and the second fiber grating group 123, and is used for converting the first strain of the optical signal and the second strain of the optical signal into the first strain of the electrical signal and the second strain of the electrical signal in one-to-one correspondence, in the specific arrangement, generally, the first fiber grating group 122 and the second fiber grating group 123 are connected in series as a whole through a transmission optical cable and then are in communication connection with the signal conversion module 200, the signal conversion module 200 is a fiber grating demodulator, the fiber grating demodulator is connected with the first fiber grating group 122 and the second fiber grating group 123 through a transmission optical cable 210, the transmission optical cable 210 can realize long-distance transmission of the optical signal, and the first fiber grating group 122 and the second fiber grating group 123 represent the strain of the sensitive member 121 by moving the wavelength of itself when the sensitive member 121 deforms, and the fiber grating demodulator is needed to convert the strain of the optical signal into the strain of the electrical signal and then continue the subsequent monitoring operation;

[0048] The terminal device is in communication connection with the signal conversion module 200, and the terminal device is used to display the first strain variable of the received electric signal and the second strain variable of the electric signal. Through the above setting, the terminal device is connected with the signal conversion module 200 by using a data line, so that people can analyze and evaluate the safety condition of the tunnel 20 structure by the displayed data.

[0049] The tunnel monitoring device 10 collects the first strain variable and the second strain variable of the sensitive member 121 in the first direction a and the second direction b, i.e., the X direction and the Y direction, by setting the first fiber grating group 122 and the second fiber grating group 123, so as to reflect the deformation in the horizontal plane of the tunnel 20 in real time.

[0050] In order for people to conveniently analyze data, a preferred embodiment, the tunnel monitoring device 10 further comprises a data processing module 300, the data processing module 300 is in communication connection with the signal conversion module 200, the data processing module 300 is used to obtain a first deformation variable after processing the first strain variable of the electric signal, the data processing module 300 is used to obtain a second deformation variable after processing the second strain variable of the electric signal. In the specific setting, the data processing module 300 is connected with the signal conversion module 200 through a data line 310, and the data processing module 300 can be a host computer in a computer. Through the above setting, the data processing module 300 can record the first strain variable, the first deformation variable, the second strain variable and the second deformation variable.

[0051] The terminal device is in communication connection with the data processing module 300, and the terminal device is used to display the received first deformation variable and second deformation variable.

The terminal device can also be used to display the first strain variable and the second strain variable for people to conduct more detailed data analysis.

[0052] In combination Figure 4 As shown, in order to enable the first fiber grating group 122 to better collect the first strain variable of the sensitive member 121 along the first direction a, specifically, the first fiber grating group 122 includes a first fiber grating 1221 and a second fiber grating 1222, the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are arranged one by one on the first side and the second side of the sensitive member 121 along the first direction a, the first fiber grating 1221 generates a first center wavelength shift amount with the strain of the first side, and the second fiber grating 1222 generates a second center wavelength shift amount with the strain of the second side. In a specific setting, the sensitive member 121 can be a square body structure, and the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are arranged at the centers of the two side surfaces arranged opposite to each other along the first direction a in the sensitive member 121;

[0053] The signal conversion module 200 is in communication connection with the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222, and is used to accept and deliver the first center wavelength shift amount and the second center wavelength shift amount after signal processing to the data processing module 300. In a specific setting, generally, the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are connected in series as a whole by using an optical cable and are in communication connection with the signal conversion module 200. Through the above setting, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal by using a fiber grating demodulator;

[0054] The data processing module 300 is configured to subtract the first central wavelength shift from the second central wavelength shift to obtain a first deformation inclination angle. According to the above arrangement, the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are located at the centers of two symmetrical sides of the sensitive member 121, and when the sensitive member 121 deforms, the strains of the two light equations corresponding to the two sides are equal, and the wavelength shifts are opposite. However, the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are also sensitive to temperature, and the same direction wavelength shift occurs when the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are affected by temperature. That is, the opposite wavelength shifts of the first fiber grating 1221 and the second fiber grating 1222 are the coupled wavelength shifts after the temperature and strain are simultaneously responded. The opposite wavelength shifts are used as the difference to reflect the inclination angle change of the sensitive member 121 along the first direction a, and the influence of temperature on the first fiber grating group 122 is eliminated.

[0055] In combination Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, in order to better collect the second strain of the sensitive member 121 along the second direction b, specifically, the second fiber grating group 123 includes a third fiber grating 1231 and a fourth fiber grating 1232. The third fiber grating 1231 and the fourth fiber grating 1232 are arranged on the third side and the fourth side of the sensitive member 121 along the second direction b one by one. The third fiber grating 1231 generates a third central wavelength shift with the strain of the third side, and the fourth fiber grating 1232 generates a fourth central wavelength shift with the strain of the fourth side. In a specific arrangement, the sensitive member 121 can be a square body structure, and the third fiber grating 1231 and the fourth fiber grating 1232 are arranged at the centers of the two opposite sides of the sensitive member 121 along the second direction b.

[0056] The signal conversion module 200 is in communication connection with the third fiber grating 1231 and the fourth fiber grating 1232, and is configured to receive and process the third central wavelength shift and the fourth central wavelength shift signals and then transmit them to the data processing module 300. In a specific arrangement, the third fiber grating 1231 and the fourth fiber grating 1232 are connected in series by an optical cable and then connected to the signal conversion module 200.

[0057] The data processing module 300 is configured to subtract the third central wavelength shift from the fourth central wavelength shift to obtain a second deformation inclination angle. The arrangement of the second fiber grating group 123 is the same as that of the first fiber grating group 122. Not only is the influence of temperature on the second fiber grating group 123 eliminated, but also the inclination angle change of the sensitive member 121 along the second direction b is obtained.

[0058] In combination Figure 6 And Figure 7As shown, in order to facilitate the deformation of the sensing element 121 with the movement of the sensing rod 110, a preferred embodiment is that a first cavity 111 is formed inside the sensing rod 110, one end of the sensing element 121 is connected with the sensing rod 110, and the other end of the sensing element 121 is suspended in the first cavity 111.

[0059] In order to make the sensing element 121 quickly deform with the movement of the sensing rod 110, specifically, the sensing body 120 further comprises a counterweight 124 connected with the end of the sensing element 121 away from the sensing rod 110. Through the above arrangement, when the sensing rod 110 moves with the deformation of the tunnel 20, the counterweight 124 in the sensing rod 110 can quickly cause the corresponding deformation of the sensing element 121 with the change of position.

[0060] In order to facilitate real-time monitoring of the entire tunnel 20, more specifically, the number of sensing bodies 120 is multiple, and the multiple sensing bodies 120 are distributed along the length direction of the sensing rod 110. In the specific arrangement, the sensing rod 110 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 112 penetrating through one side wall thickness along the length direction thereof, the mounting holes 112 are in communication with the first cavity 111, the mounting holes 112 can be threaded holes, and the sensing body 120 further comprises a top cover 125 installed in the mounting hole 112, the top cover 125 is connected with one end of the sensing element 121, the other end of the sensing element 121 is connected with the counterweight 124 and located in the first cavity 111, and the top cover 125 is further provided with a first through hole 126 penetrating through the thickness thereof, so that the first fiber grating 1221, the second fiber grating 1222, the third fiber grating group 1231 and the fourth fiber grating 1232 are connected in series as a whole by using an optical cable, and the optical cable is pulled out from the first through hole 126 to be connected with the signal conversion module in communication, each mounting hole 112 corresponds to one sensing body 120, and each sensing body 120 is provided with one fiber grating at the center of each of the four sides, two opposite fiber gratings form a group to measure the longitudinal inclination angle and the transverse inclination angle of the tunnel 20, thereby reflecting the deformation condition of the corresponding section of the tunnel 20, and the number of sensing bodies 120 can be 2, 4, 6 or more.

[0061] Through the above setting, each sensing body 120 constitutes a monitoring unit, and each monitoring unit is used for monitoring the deformation condition of the corresponding tunnel 20 section. The specific number of sensing bodies 120 is set according to the length of the tunnel 20, which ensures accurate monitoring of the deformation condition of the entire tunnel 20. It can be that all sensing bodies 120 are arranged on one sensing rod 110, or the sensing rod 110 is arranged in sections, and a certain number of sensing bodies 120 are arranged on each section of the sensing rod 110. The overall length of the sensing rod 110 needs to exceed the length of the tunnel 20, so as to realize monitoring of the deformation condition of the entire tunnel 20 through the sensing bodies 120 on the sensing rod 110. Furthermore, the multiple monitoring units are connected in series through the transmission optical cable 210 to remotely monitor the tunnel 20. When the tunnel 20 is long, the data can also be monitored in real time to obtain the deformation state of the entire tunnel 20, thereby solving the problems of long measurement work and long cycle caused by the current precision level gauge and total station in measuring a long tunnel 20.

[0062] In combination Figure 8 As shown in the figure, in order to better perceive the deformation of the tunnel 20, in a preferred embodiment, the tunnel monitoring device 10 further comprises a settlement perception plate 400, which is laid on the support layer 22, and the side of the settlement perception plate 400 away from the support layer 22 is laid with a sensing rod 110. In a specific arrangement, the settlement perception plate 400 is a horizontal plate, and the sensing body 120 connected to the sensing rod 110 is also located above the settlement perception plate 400. Through the above arrangement, when the tunnel 20 settles, the settlement perception plate 400 will move with the sensing rod 110, thereby causing the deformation of the sensitive part 121, which avoids the direct movement of the perception module 100 with the deformation of the tunnel 20, and plays a certain protective role for the perception module 100.

[0063] In order to better protect the perception module 100, specifically, the tunnel monitoring device 10 further comprises a protective cover 500, which is arranged on the side of the sensing rod 110 away from the settlement perception plate 400. In a specific arrangement, the protective cover 500 can be arranged on the sensing rod 110 and the sensing body 120 connected to the sensing rod 110. Through the above arrangement, the sensing rod 110 and the sensing body 120 can be protected from damage caused by the deformation of the tunnel 20.

[0064] In order to better ensure that the sensing rod 110 can reflect the deformation condition of the tunnel 20 in real time, more specifically, the tunnel monitoring device 10 further comprises sand soil 600, which is laid between the settlement perception plate 400 and the protective cover 500, and the sensing rod 110 is arranged in the sand soil 600. Through the above arrangement, the sand soil 600 will change with the deformation of the settlement perception plate 400, thereby causing the sensing rod 110 to change position, and then causing the deformation of the sensitive part 121, and finally reflecting the real-time deformation condition of the tunnel 20 through the first and second fiber grating groups 122 and 123.

[0065] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features are described herein, but it should be understood that the scope of the disclosure encompasses all possible combinations of the technical features.

[0066] The above-described embodiments are merely representative of several embodiments of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
