Traditional optical connectors mainly focus on optimizing connection loss and return loss to improve the transmission performance of the system. However, as fiber-optic communication systems develop towards higher rates and larger capacities, higher requirements are placed on the stability and reliability of optical connectors. Especially in harsh deep-sea environments or critical application scenarios, real-time monitoring of the status of optical connectors becomes particularly important. On the one hand, through monitoring, the performance degradation law of products under deep-sea conditions can be understood. On the other hand, a basic evaluation system can be established through relevant data collection to predict product life. Although there are some optical connector solutions with sensors on the market, they usually require additional space to integrate sensors, which may affect the compactness and compatibility of the connector. Summary of the invention

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a sealing ring is further provided at the connection between the plug connector and the socket part, and a convex ring is further provided on the outer side of the plug connector, and the convex ring is in conflict with the plug screw sleeve.
[0011] The present application also provides a control method for a deep-water multi-core optical connector implanted with an optical fiber sensor, which, when the detection subject is a deformation optical fiber grating sensor, comprises the following steps: S11, installing the deformation optical fiber grating sensor to the stress concentration part of the connector;
[0012] S12. After the installation is completed, according to the measurement accuracy requirements, select the light source for detection, and adjust the light path between the light source, the optical fiber and the deformation fiber Bragg grating sensor to couple them, and record the wavelength measured by the deformation fiber Bragg grating sensor in the current state as L0;
[0013] S13, during the operation of the connector, the wavelength deformation threshold is set to L1, the wavelength data measured by the deformation fiber Bragg grating sensor is detected, and the wavelength data is processed and analyzed, and the wavelength measured by the current deformation fiber Bragg grating sensor is detected to be L2;
[0014] S14, detecting the state of L2, if L2>L1, it is judged that the current optical fiber deformation is too large, the current water pressure outside the connector is too large, and the staff needs to repair the connector, otherwise, it is judged that the current connector is operating normally;

[0019] S25. During the operation of the connector, the wavelength corresponding to the humidity threshold is set to D1, the wavelength data measured by the humidity fiber grating sensor is detected, and the change in wavelength is converted into the corresponding humidity value D2. If D2>D1, it is judged that the humidity in the current compression screw sleeve is too high and the staff needs to repair the connector. Otherwise, it is judged that the current connector is operating normally.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects are as follows: 1. By arranging multiple fiber grating sensors in the connector, the above fiber grating sensors are configured to detect the working and fixing states of the connector, including but not limited to parameters such as temperature, pressure, deformation, humidity, etc., and the fiber grating sensor is very sensitive to slight changes in physical quantities such as temperature and strain, and can detect changes in stress and humidity in the connector in a timely and high-precision manner, with high sensitivity and accuracy. At the same time, the overall size of the fiber grating sensor is small, and it can be easily installed inside the connector, and can be installed in the stress concentration area inside the connector and the position where humidity needs to be detected according to needs. At the same time, the fiber grating sensor is usually composed of only optical fiber and packaging material, and will not have a significant impact on the overall quality and performance of the connector after being installed in the connector, and a sealing ring is added at the connection between the plug part and the socket part, which improves the sealing performance of the connector in a deep-sea environment, improves the overall service life, and has a good use effect.
[0021] 2. Further, in order to facilitate the overall installation, the connector has a plug part and a socket part. The plug part is connected to the socket part through a plug-in connector arranged inside the plug-in part, and can be fixed to the socket part after the plug-in connector is inserted, thereby improving the overall stability after the installation is completed. At the same time, an insulating plate is arranged inside the joint screw sleeve, and a plurality of pin assemblies are arranged inside the insulating plate. The pin assemblies include a pin pressing sleeve and a sealing ring arranged on the pointer pressing sleeve. A spring is also arranged on the pin pressing sleeve. A pressing plate is also arranged at one end of the joint screw sleeve. The cable is fixed to the cable channel in the cable tail clamp through a rubber sleeve and extends to the inside of the compression screw sleeve. At the same time, one end of the cable located inside the compression screw sleeve can lead out a plurality of optical fibers, each The optical fibers are respectively connected to the deformation fiber grating sensor, the humidity fiber grating sensor and the optical fiber transmission channel, so that the cable can be connected to the information transmission equipment and the detection equipment at the same time, ensuring the compactness of the overall structure of the connector and avoiding excessive changes in the overall structure of the connector after adding the sensor. At the same time, the optical fiber sensor has good chemical stability, high mechanical strength and fatigue resistance, can withstand a certain degree of stretching, bending and vibration, and is not prone to performance degradation and damage during long-term use. It has high reliability and good safety performance. The sensor signal is transmitted through the optical fiber, and the transmission loss of the optical signal in the optical fiber is low, which can realize long-distance signal transmission and is convenient for measurement and monitoring.
[0022] 3. At the same time, during the operation of the connector, since the working environment of the connector is in the deep sea and the water pressure is high, the internal state of the connector needs to be detected in real time during the operation. During the operation of the connector, the connection between the plug and the socket is the stress concentration part. By setting a deformation fiber Bragg grating sensor there, the shell deformation caused by the water pressure can be easily detected. The deformation sensor adopts the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. The above technology is based on Bragg diffraction. When a beam of light is irradiated to a fiber Bragg grating with periodic refractive index modulation, the light of a specific wavelength that meets the Bragg condition will be reflected back, and the light of the remaining wavelengths will continue to be transmitted through the grating. The formula of the above Bragg condition is:
[0023] (1)
[0024] in, is the Bragg wavelength, is the effective refractive index of the optical fiber core, For the grating period, specifically, when the connection between the connector and the socket is deformed due to stress, the grating period will respond by lengthening or shortening, and the effective refractive index of the optical fiber core will also change, causing the Bragg wavelength to change and causing the wavelength to shift, so that the staff can determine the strain by the wavelength offset, allowing the staff to monitor the structural integrity of the connector when used underwater in real time, and promptly discover and prevent potential structural problems.
[0025] 4. In order to prevent liquid from entering during the operation of the connector, a humidity fiber grating sensor is provided in the compression screw sleeve. A humidity sensitive material is provided in the humidity fiber grating sensor. When the humidity in the compression screw sleeve of the humidity sensitive material increases, it absorbs water and expands, causing the period or effective refractive index of the fiber grating to change, thereby causing the wavelength to shift. The humidity in the current compression screw sleeve is detected based on the wavelength-humidity correspondence relationship obtained according to the ambient wavelength detected by the humidity fiber grating sensor, which facilitates the prediction of the corrosion risk of the connector and the understanding of the service life of the product in the current depth environment.
