Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensing optical fiber technology, and in particular to a hollow sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous expansion of the application scenarios of long-span cables and the surge in demand, ensuring the continuous monitoring of their performance has become a major issue related to structural safety and maintenance efficiency. Cable damage, regardless of the cause, will not only weaken its load-bearing and durability capabilities, but may also suddenly cause catastrophic accidents, especially in the fields of bridge cables and aerial ropeways. Such risks are particularly significant. Although many protective measures have been incorporated into the design, environmental factors, long-term wear of the cables themselves and other factors will still lead to a surge in maintenance costs.
[0003] There is currently an advanced built-in sensing fiber optic unit manufacturing technology, which relies on a stainless steel tube built-in sensing fiber optic unit. The optical fiber is directly placed in a stainless steel tube welded by laser, and a special buffer material is filled in the steel tube. The stainless steel tube and the buffer provide good protection for the optical fiber.
[0004] The packaging structure design of the built-in sensing fiber unit often forms a protective layer. However, while this layer of protection enhances the durability and environmental adaptability of the optical fiber, it may also constitute a "barrier" that hinders the optical fiber from directly and sensitively capturing subtle changes in the external environment. Especially when the changes in external physical quantities are very small and high-precision detection is required, this "barrier" effect will be more significant, making the built-in sensing fiber unit relatively slow in sensing and responding to these subtle changes, thereby affecting its overall monitoring sensitivity. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention provides a hollow sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system to solve the technical problem that in a built-in sensing optical fiber unit, when the optical fiber is directly placed in a stainless steel tube formed by laser welding, the optical fiber will appear relatively slow in sensing and responding to subtle changes, thereby affecting its overall monitoring sensitivity.

[0019] The punching depth adjustment module is used to obtain the pressing depth of the punch position of the punching machine during the punching process of the punching machine, and compare the pressing depth with the depth of the corresponding punching die. When the pressing depth is less than the depth of the corresponding punching die, the pressing force of the punch of the punching machine is increased to make the pressing depth consistent with the depth of the corresponding punching die.
[0020] As a preferred solution, the laser welding machine is used to weld the joint of the stainless steel tube after the fiber grating is embedded in the stainless steel tube to obtain a hollow sensing optical fiber unit with a hollow stainless steel tube, comprising:
[0021] The laser welding machine is used to generate a laser beam of preset power and a moving path of the laser beam after the fiber grating is embedded in the stainless steel tube, and then control the laser beam to weld the tube body joint of the stainless steel tube according to the moving path to obtain a hollow sensing optical fiber unit with a hollow stainless steel tube.
[0022] As a preferred solution, the laser welding machine comprises: a laser generator;
[0023] The laser generator is used to generate a laser beam of preset power by adjusting the output power.

[0041] Embodiment 1
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic structural diagram of a hollow type sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a stainless steel belt, a punching machine, a tube forming mold, an optical fiber Bragg grating and a laser welding machine;

[0046] The laser welding machine is used to weld the joints of the stainless steel tube after the optical fiber grating is embedded in the stainless steel tube, so as to obtain a hollow sensing optical fiber unit having a hollow stainless steel tube.
[0047] Preferably, the hollow sensing optical fiber unit further includes: a sensing monitoring window; the sensing monitoring window is located on the wall of the stainless steel tube; the sensing monitoring window is used to connect the optical fiber Bragg grating in the stainless steel tube with the external environment, so that the optical fiber Bragg grating can sense the changes in the temperature parameters, humidity parameters, pressure parameters and vibration parameters inside the corresponding cable in real time through the sensing monitoring window.
[0048] Specifically, the present invention proposes an innovative hollow structure sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system and its corresponding process. The core of the present invention is to use sensing optical fiber as the basic material, and through integrated punching technology, continuous laser welding technology and other advanced process means, to create a stainless steel tube sensing optical fiber unit with hollow characteristics.
[0049] The structure diagram of the hollow type sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system is as follows Figure 1 As shown, in Figure 1 In the figure, 1 is a stainless steel belt, 2 is a tube forming mold, 3 is a fiber grating, 4 is a stainless steel tube, 5 is a sensor monitoring window, 6 is a laser welding machine, and 7 is a precision punching machine.
[0050] The connection relationship of the above components is as follows: the stainless steel strip 1 is located below the precision punching machine 7, the stainless steel strip 1 enters the tube forming mold 2 after laser punching, the tube forming mold 2 wraps the stainless steel strip 1 longitudinally, the optical fiber Bragg grating 3 is put in synchronously, and the laser welding machine 6 welds the middle gap of the longitudinally wrapped steel strip, thereby manufacturing a stainless steel tube (4 and 5) with a sensor monitoring window.
[0051] The functions of the above components are as follows: (1) Stainless steel strip: the main raw material of the stainless steel tube optical fiber unit; (2) Tube forming mold: stainless steel strip longitudinal wrapping molding; (3) Fiber Bragg grating: temperature sensing, strain sensing, pressure sensing (4) Stainless steel tube: a component composed of optical fiber and protective material, which can accommodate optical fiber and protect it from damage caused by environmental changes, external forces, long-term and short-term thermal effects, moisture, etc.; (5) Sensing monitoring window: the stainless steel tube optical fiber unit can provide a more stable and reliable sensing environment, thereby improving sensing accuracy; (6) Laser welding machine: using a high-energy-density laser beam to perform local heating of stainless steel materials in a small area to achieve precise welding; (7) Precision punching machine: the precision punching machine adopts advanced control systems and drive mechanisms, which can achieve high-speed and high-precision punching operations.
[0052] Preferably, the punching machine is used to punch the stainless steel strip according to a preset punching shape, punching size and punching number, including: the punching machine is used to select a corresponding punching die according to the preset punching shape and punching size, and generate the position coordinates of each hole to be punched in the stainless steel strip according to the punching shape, punching size, punching number and size information of the stainless steel strip, and then punch the stainless steel strip according to the selected punching die and the position coordinates.
[0053] Preferably, the punching die comprises: a die depth adjustment module; the die depth adjustment module is used to adjust the depth of the punching die according to the size information of the stainless steel strip after selecting the corresponding punching die.
[0054] Preferably, the punching machine also includes: a punching depth adjustment module; the punching depth adjustment module is used to obtain the pressing depth of the punch position of the punching machine during the punching process of the punching machine, and compare the pressing depth with the depth of the corresponding punching mold. When the pressing depth is less than the depth of the corresponding punching mold, the pressing force of the punch of the punching machine is increased to make the pressing depth consistent with the depth of the corresponding punching mold.
[0055] Specifically, the workflow of the hollow structure sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system is as follows:
[0056] 1. Mechanical punching manufacturing process: The stainless steel strip is first punched mechanically by a precision punching machine (7). The punching size is precisely set according to the specific design requirements, which can realize the continuous and automatic punching operation of the stainless steel strip. The high-precision transmission device and intelligent control system are adopted to ensure that the stainless steel strip maintains a constant speed and position accuracy during the conveying process. The punching mechanism consists of a high-strength mold and a high-speed moving punch. The mold is carefully designed and precision-machined, with extremely high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, which can ensure that the shape and size of the punching meet strict industrial standards. The control system uses advanced sensor technology and intelligent algorithms, which can monitor various parameters in the punching process in real time, such as the position, speed, impact force, etc. of the punch, and make precise adjustments according to the preset program. This not only ensures the accuracy and quality of the punching, but also improves the working efficiency and stability of the punching machine.
[0057] The mold of the precision punching machine (7) is manufactured using high-precision CNC processing technology to achieve hollow punching of multiple holes and multiple shapes (circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, spiral, wavy, grid, etc.). The precise control of the multiple holes relies on an advanced CNC system. The position coordinates of each punching hole can be accurately planned according to the preset program. Through high-precision sensors and precise transmission devices, it is ensured that the punch of the punching machine can move to the specified position accurately. Whether it is a complex array-type multi-hole layout or an irregular dispersed multi-hole distribution, the CNC system can achieve precise control of each punching position with its excellent computing power and precise control performance.
[0058] For punching holes of different shapes, the key lies in the design of replaceable dies. Through careful design and precision machining, various shapes of punching holes can be presented. When punching holes of different shapes is required, the shape can be switched by quickly replacing the corresponding dies. These dies are made of high-strength materials, and after precision machining and heat treatment, they have extremely high dimensional accuracy and durability. At the same time, with the advanced die positioning system, the die is ensured to always maintain a stable position during the punching process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the punching shape.
[0059] At the same time, the mold is also equipped with an automatic adjustment mechanism, which can automatically adjust the punching position and depth according to the different sizes of stainless steel pipes. When the stainless steel pipe enters the working area of the punching machine, a high-precision dimension measurement sensor will first accurately measure the key dimensions of the stainless steel pipe, such as the outer diameter and length. After receiving the data fed back by the sensor, the intelligent control system will perform complex calculations based on the pre-set mathematical model and punching process requirements. It will regard the stainless steel pipe as a geometric body in a three-dimensional space and determine the coordinates of the punching position by analyzing the size of the pipe body.
[0060] For automatic adjustment of the punching depth, the punching machine is equipped with a depth sensor, which will monitor the pressing depth of the punch position in real time. The sensor will compare the actual punching depth with the preset depth. If the actual punching depth is less than the preset depth, the control system will increase the downward force of the punch until the preset depth is reached.
[0061] The precision punching machine (7) performs laser punching operations on the surface of the stainless steel strip (1) with extremely high accuracy and uniformity. For application scenarios that require higher mechanical strength and a small number of optical fibers, the hole diameter can be relatively small, usually between 1 mm and 3 mm. This size not only ensures the mechanical stability of the stainless steel tube, but also allows the optical fibers to have enough space in the hole for arrangement. For general application scenarios, the hole diameter can be selected between 3 mm and 5 mm. The hole size within this range is suitable for the arrangement requirements of most optical fibers and can maintain good sensing sensitivity and mechanical strength. In application scenarios that require higher sensing sensitivity or special optical fiber arrangement methods, the hole diameter can be appropriately increased to more than 5 mm.
[0062] The layout of these holes has been carefully designed, not only taking into account the subsequent installation requirements of the fiber grating (3), but also ensuring the structural stability of the stainless steel strip during the forming process. After punching, the surface of the stainless steel strip is covered with fine holes, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent steps.
[0063] Preferably, the tube forming die comprises: a roller; the roller is used to longitudinally wrap the punched stainless steel strip and apply a preset uniform pressure to the stainless steel strip so that the stainless steel strip gradually deforms under the uniform pressure, and then curls and shapes from a flat state into a stainless steel tube with a circular cross-section.
[0064] 2. The punched stainless steel strip (1) is fed into a tube forming die (2). The die uses advanced rolling technology to apply uniform pressure to the stainless steel strip through a series of precisely controlled rollers, causing it to gradually deform, curl and shape from a flat state into a tubular structure with a circular cross-section (4). In this process, the rolling process of the die ensures the uniformity and smoothness of the tube wall, providing an important guarantee for the quality of the final product.
[0065] Preferably, the laser welding machine is used to weld the tube body seams of the stainless steel tube after the optical fiber Bragg grating is embedded in the stainless steel tube to obtain a hollow sensing optical fiber unit with a hollow stainless steel tube, comprising: the laser welding machine is used to generate a laser beam of preset power and a moving path of the laser beam after the optical fiber Bragg grating is embedded in the stainless steel tube, and then control the laser beam to weld the tube body seams of the stainless steel tube according to the moving path to obtain a hollow sensing optical fiber unit with a hollow stainless steel tube.
[0066] Preferably, the laser welding machine comprises: a laser generator; the laser generator is used to generate a laser beam of preset power by adjusting the output power.
[0067] Preferably, the laser welding machine also includes: a laser beam path control module; the laser beam path control module is used to generate a moving path of the laser beam, focus the divergent laser beam on the welding point at the joint of the stainless steel pipe body, and control the laser beam to move along the moving path so that the laser beam welds the joint of the stainless steel pipe body.
[0068] Preferably, the laser beam path control module is also used to obtain the real-time path of the laser beam during the welding process, and to correct the real-time path of the laser beam when the real-time path deviates from the moving path.
[0069] 3. The formed stainless steel pipe is sent to the laser welding equipment (6), which uses a high-energy-density laser beam to quickly and accurately weld the pipe joints, achieving a seamless welding effect. Laser welding not only has the advantages of narrow welds, small heat-affected zones, and small deformation, but also greatly improves welding efficiency and product quality.
[0070] Specifically, after punching, the stainless steel strip is then accurately wound into a disc by an automated rewinding device. The structural schematic diagram of the automated rewinding device is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, it then enters the laser welding process synchronously with the sensing optical fiber. By precisely controlling the energy and path of the laser beam, efficient and precise welding of the stainless steel tube optical fiber unit with a hollow pattern is achieved. The control of the laser beam energy is first determined by the laser generator, and the energy of the laser beam is controlled by adjusting its output power. In terms of controlling the laser beam path, the optical focusing system focuses the originally divergent laser beam on the welding point through a series of lens combinations. The scanning system can accurately change the direction of the laser beam. This system usually includes a galvanometer and a motor. The galvanometer can swing quickly and the motor can be driven accurately. The two cooperate to allow the laser beam to move along a pre-programmed path to ensure that the laser is accurately irradiated at the position where welding is required. In addition, during the welding process, the path of the laser beam can be corrected in real time through the computer control system and sensor feedback. Even if there is a slight vibration or change in the position of the workpiece during the welding process, it can ensure that the laser beam falls accurately on the welding area. This process not only retains the excellent performance of the stainless steel strip itself, but also gives the hollow sensing optical fiber unit a unique structure and function to meet the needs of specific application scenarios.
[0071] The formed stainless steel pipe is sent to the laser welding equipment (6). The equipment uses a high energy density laser beam to perform rapid and accurate welding at the pipe body joints, achieving a seamless welding effect. Laser welding not only has the advantages of narrow welds, small heat-affected zones, and small deformation, but also greatly improves welding efficiency and product quality.
[0072] It can be seen that the present invention provides a hollow sensing optical fiber unit manufacturing system. The hollow structure of the present invention increases the contact area between the optical fiber and the external environment, so that the optical fiber can more sensitively sense changes in external physical quantities, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, etc. The sensing accuracy and response speed are improved, providing a strong guarantee for accurate measurement. The online punching technology can directly perform punching operations during the production process without the need for additional steps. The online punching technology is seamlessly integrated with the production process of the stainless steel tube optical fiber unit to improve production efficiency. Through a high-precision positioning system and an optimized punching process, precise punching operations can be achieved to ensure the size accuracy and position accuracy of the hole. The hollow stainless steel tube optical fiber unit reduces the overall weight to a certain extent without affecting its mechanical strength, making it suitable for various complex application scenarios, such as structural health monitoring, power communications, etc.
[0073] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
