The sensitive element comprises a side temperature grating and two elastic beams 14 arranged at a fixed angle in the same plane, one end of the two elastic beams 14 is commonly connected to a weight 17, and the other end is fixed on the barrel through a supporting plate 15 respectively, and an angle measuring grating is adhered on the elastic beam 14 in the length direction. Corresponding to the two angle measuring gratings, lead holes 16 are formed in the barrel 12, the lead lines at the ends of the two angle measuring gratings are respectively led out from the two lead holes 16 on the barrel 12, and are respectively led into the base 5 through the optical cable routing holes 18 on the bottom plate 13 and the lead-in optical fiber grooves 54 on the base plate.

[0025] The multi-dimensional monitoring borehole stress meter provided by the application is used as follows: first, a 5-10m deep borehole is drilled at a place to be monitored such as a roadway, and then the borehole stress meter is inserted into the borehole, after reaching the monitoring position, the hydraulic pump is started, the single hydraulic cylinder pushes the jacking rod forward into the jacking plate, the two base plates constituting the base are relatively moved, the borehole wall is clamped, and the jacking degree of the base plate is controlled by the pressure provided by the hydraulic cylinder. After the signal line is connected, the monitoring can be carried out, and the monitoring process of the borehole stress meter comprises a position monitoring process of the sensor and a size and position monitoring process of the surrounding rock stress of the borehole, wherein the position monitoring process of the sensor is realized by the angle sensor, because the position of the borehole stress meter changes with the drilling angle of the borehole after being put into the borehole, at this time, the weight in the angle sensor always points to the center of the earth under the action of gravity, the two elastic beams of the sensitive element are bent and deformed due to the action of gravity, the bending angle of the angle measuring grating adhered on the elastic beam changes, the angle measuring grating is bent, the detection wavelength is shifted, and the bending angle of the angle measuring grating can be calculated by the wavelength shift amount through the strain sensor technology commonly used in the prior art, so that the position of the whole sensor is deduced.

[0026] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application, that is, any simple equivalent changes or modifications made according to the claims and the description of the present application shall still fall within the scope of the present application.
