[0074] Embodiment 2

[0075] See also Figure 2-7 Specifically, the implementation method of the pressure calculation method is applied to the pressure detection of the fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor as described in any one of the first embodiments, and the method includes the following steps S110 to S130:

[0076] Step S110, calculating the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating when the pressurized platform is subjected to external pressure, and obtaining the wavelength offset of the fiber Bragg grating corresponding to the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating;

[0077] As an achievable manner, the calculation of the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating generated when the pressurized platform is subjected to external pressure in the above step S110 specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0078] Calculate the bending stiffness of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 or the second serpentine elastic structure 31

[0079] When the pressurizing platform is subjected to external pressure, the first deformation displacement of the optical fiber Bragg grating caused by the external pressure when the first oblique beam 2 and the second oblique beam 3 are tempered is calculated according to the bending stiffness, and the second deformation displacement of the optical fiber Bragg grating caused by the external pressure when the pressurizing platform 1 is tempered is calculated;

[0080] The first deformation displacement and the second deformation displacement are summed to obtain the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating generated when the pressurizing platform is subjected to external pressure.

[0081] As a feasible method, let the first deformation displacement be , the second deformation displacement is , then the calculation formula for the first deformation displacement is:

[0082]

[0083] The calculation formula of the second deformation displacement is:

[0084]

[0085] Wherein, P is the external pressure, is the length of the pressurized platform 1, is the moment of inertia of the pressurizing platform 1; is Young's modulus; is the angle between the first inclined beam 2 and the pressurizing platform 1 or the angle between the second inclined beam 3 and the pressurizing platform 1, is an acute angle; is the length of the first oblique beam 2 or the second oblique beam 3; is the bending stiffness;

F1 and F2 are the internal forces generated by the arch rib structure under the action of the external pressure P, and θ is the arch foot angle of the arch rib structure. The force analysis of the arch rib yields:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] After the force P acts on the pressurized platform 1, the force P can be decomposed into the direction of the arch rib (the layout direction of the first inclined beam 2, such as Figure 2 The arch rib BC) and along the arch foot direction (the layout direction of the first base 4, such as Figure 2 Horizontal force in the arch foot CD) Since the two sides are symmetrical structures, the right side can be decomposed into the arch rib direction and horizontal arch foot direction , lateral tension and It will cause the fiber Bragg grating to have lateral strain. When the temperature remains unchanged, if the fiber Bragg grating is only subjected to uniform axial stress and the stress in other directions is 0, then when the serpentine elastic structure is not considered, the center wavelength drift of the fiber Bragg grating is With axial strain The relationship is:

[0094]

[0095] in, , is the original shape variable, is the third deformation displacement, is the fourth deformation displacement, is the length of the fiber Bragg grating between the first oblique beam 2 and the second oblique beam 3 before deformation;

[0096] When the serpentine elastic structure is considered, the central wavelength drift of the fiber Bragg grating is With axial strain The relationship is:

[0097]

[0098] in, ; is the final shape, is the third deformation displacement, is the fourth deformation displacement;

[0099] Then the fiber Bragg grating strain formula can be derived as follows:

[0100]

[0101] in, is the wavelength offset of the fiber grating; is the wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating before deformation; is the effective elastic coefficient of the fiber Bragg grating.

[0102] Then, after obtaining the relationship between the final deformation and pressure, the relationship and the sensitivity coefficient after considering the serpentine elastic structure are calculated. Substituting it into the fiber Bragg grating strain formula, the external pressure can be calculated.

[0103] When calculating the final deformation (considering the influence of the serpentine elastic structure):

[0104] like Figure 2As shown, since the sensor structure of the present application is a symmetrical structure, half of it is taken for analysis, and the BC part (the first inclined beam 2) is first rigidified by the superposition method to calculate the displacement caused by the AB part (pressurized platform 1). (As attached Figure 3 As shown in the figure), the AB part (pressurized platform 1) is tempered and the displacement caused by the BC part (first inclined beam 2) is calculated. (As attached Figure 4 As shown, attached Figure 4 middle, is the tangential component of the external pressure along the BC section, ), ignoring the compression of the AB part (pressurized platform 1) itself, ΔL AB , that is, ΔL AB =0, we can get and The calculation formula is:

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] Bending stiffness In is the moment of inertia of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 or the second serpentine elastic structure 31, which can be calculated by the following formula:

[0108]

[0109] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, is the distance between the adjacent first groove and the second groove in the first serpentine elastic structure 21, or the distance between the adjacent third groove and the fourth groove in the second serpentine elastic structure 31; It is the thickness of the first groove and the second groove in the first serpentine elastic structure 21 , and is also the thickness of the first inclined beam 2 or the second inclined beam 3 .

[0110] Step S120, calculating the sensitivity enhancement coefficient generated by the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 according to the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating;

[0111] As an achievable manner, the calculation of the sensitivity enhancement coefficient generated by the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 according to the final deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating involved in the above step S120 specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0112] According to the final deformation amount, the final average strain of the fiber Bragg grating is calculated when the strain influence of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 is considered. , ,in, is the length of the fiber Bragg grating between the first oblique beam 2 and the second oblique beam 3 before deformation;

[0113] Calculate the original deformation of the fiber Bragg grating when the strain effect of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 is not considered, and calculate the original average strain of the fiber Bragg grating corresponding to the original deformation ;

[0114] The sensitivity enhancement coefficient generated by the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 is calculated according to the sensitivity enhancement coefficient calculation formula: , the calculation formula of the sensitization coefficient is:

[0115]

[0116] As an achievable manner, the calculation of the original deformation amount of the fiber Bragg grating without considering the strain influence of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31 includes:

[0117] When the pressurized platform is subjected to external pressure, the third deformation displacement of the optical fiber Bragg grating caused by the external pressure after the first oblique beam 2 and the second oblique beam 3 are tempered is calculated without considering the strain influence of the first serpentine elastic structure 21 and the second serpentine elastic structure 31, and the fourth deformation displacement of the optical fiber Bragg grating caused by the external pressure after the pressurized platform 1 is tempered is calculated;

[0118] The third deformation displacement and the fourth deformation displacement are summed to obtain the original deformation amount of the fiber grating.

[0119] As a feasible method, let the third deformation displacement be , the fourth deformation displacement is , the calculation formula of the third deformation displacement is:

[0120]

[0121] The calculation formula of the fourth deformation displacement is:

[0122]

[0123] in, is the moment of inertia of the first oblique beam 2 or the second oblique beam 3 .

[0124] It can be understood that when calculating the original deformation (without considering the influence of the serpentine elastic structure on the strain):

[0125] The calculation process can refer to Figure 2 As for the calculation method of the final deformation, since the sensor structure of the present application is a symmetrical structure, half of the structure is still taken for analysis. The BC part (the first inclined beam 2) is first rigidified by the superposition method to calculate the displacement of the CD part (the first base 4) caused by the AB part (the pressurized platform 1). , and then the AB part (pressurized platform 1) is tempered to calculate the displacement of the CD part (the first base 4) caused by the BC part (the BC part here is the first inclined beam 2 without considering the serpentine elastic structure) , ignoring the compression of the AB part itself ΔL AB , that is, ΔL AB =0, we can get and The calculation formulas are:

[0130] Then the complete calculation formula of the sensitization coefficient can be derived as follows:

[0131]

[0132] Step S130, calculating the external pressure using a fiber Bragg grating strain formula according to the wavelength offset, the final deformation, and the sensitivity enhancement coefficient.
