Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable monitoring, and specifically to a method and system for monitoring broken wires of parallel steel cables based on weak grating optical fibers. Background Art

[0002] The parallel wire cable structure consists of anchors, hundreds of steel wires and HDPE sheaths. It is widely used in cable-stayed bridge cables, arch bridge hangers (ties), suspension bridge hangers and other large structures.

[0003] Since parallel steel wire cables are generally arranged outside the structure, their HDPE sheaths are prone to cracking due to the combined effects of various external factors. After the sheath is opened, rainwater, moisture, harmful gases, and corrosive substances will invade the interior of the cables, causing the steel wires to rust or even break, thereby endangering the safety of the cables and bridge structures.

[0004] At present, the commonly used methods for detecting broken wires in cables mainly include window detection method, magnetic flux detection method, acoustic emission detection method, ultrasonic monitoring method, etc. For example, public information mentions a new type of prestressed steel cylinder concrete pipe with pre-embedded acoustic emission sensors and distributed optical fibers, as well as a manufacturing and broken wire monitoring method. This method conducts signal testing before the prestressed steel cylinder concrete pipe leaves the factory, simulates various environmental noises and broken wire phenomena that occur during on-site monitoring, uses distributed optical fiber and acoustic emission equipment to monitor it, establishes a signal sample database, and uses machine learning algorithms to train a broken wire signal recognition model based on the database, receives and synchronously records the signals of the optical fiber demodulator and acoustic emission collector in real time, and inputs the distributed optical fiber signals obtained by monitoring into the broken wire signal recognition model for classification, thereby determining whether a broken wire occurs, and also being able to locate the position of the broken wire. This solution is relatively simple, mainly because the initial model construction is relatively complex and the subsequent monitoring is relatively simple. However, this solution also has many problems. The most important one is that it is greatly restricted by the environment. The distributed optical fiber collects not only the sound signal of the acoustic emission equipment, but also the interference of external environmental noise. Although the problem of environmental noise is taken into account when building the model, in actual applications, it is impossible to eliminate the interference of all environmental noise. Therefore, the solution actually obtains a rough signal, and there is a large error in the monitoring of broken wires.

[0005] Other wire rope broken wire monitoring methods such as magnetic flux detection method and ultrasonic monitoring method also have corresponding problems, that is, the interference from the external environment is large and it is not suitable for large-scale promotion and application. The window detection method is a destructive detection method, which is destructive to the original cable structure and is even more unsuitable for promotion and application. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a non-destructive wire broken wire monitoring method that is not affected by the external environment. Summary of the invention

[0050] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] The present application relates to a parallel steel wire cable broken wire monitoring method based on weak grating optical fiber. The monitoring method of the present application is mainly used for parallel steel wire cables. A weak grating sensing optical fiber arranged throughout the length of the cable is installed, and the signal inside the cable is collected using the weak grating sensing optical fiber. The steel wire breakage inside the cable is then determined based on the relationship between the constructed weak grating sensing optical fiber signal and the number of broken steel wires. Since the weak grating sensing optical fiber of the present application is directly arranged inside the cable, the collected signal is the wavelength signal of the weak grating sensing optical fiber, which is not affected by external environmental factors, and the monitoring result is more accurate and intuitive. At the same time, the weak grating sensing optical fiber arranged inside the cable can be consistent with the life of the cable, which can be up to more than 20 years. The cable broken wire monitoring method of the present application has the advantages of simplicity, accuracy, intuitiveness and long life.

[0052] Specifically, the parallel steel wire cable structure of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of steel wires 2 are arranged inside the cable, and the axes of all the steel wires 2 are parallel to each other. After all the steel wires 2 form a steel wire bundle, an HDPE sheath 3 is encapsulated outside, and a weak grating sensing optical fiber 1 is arranged inside the steel wire bundle to collect the broken wire situation of the steel wire 2 in real time. Specifically, a parallel steel wire cable broken wire monitoring method based on weak grating optical fiber of the present application includes the following steps:

[0053] S1. When manufacturing the cable, a weak grating sensing optical fiber is installed in the cable. The weak grating sensing optical fiber is arranged along the entire length of the cable and a plurality of strain grating measuring points are evenly spaced along the length direction on the weak grating sensing optical fiber.

[0054] The weak grating sensing optical fiber is arranged in the steel wire bundle. Therefore, in actual use, the weak grating sensing optical fiber is not only protected by the steel wire bundle, but also protected by the HDPE sheath. Therefore, the weak grating sensing optical fiber is not easily damaged, which can ensure that the life of the weak grating sensing optical fiber is consistent with that of the entire cable.

[0055] Multiple strain grating measuring points are evenly arranged on the weak grating sensing optical fiber. The location of wire breakage can be determined by collecting the signals and arrangement positions of the strain grating measuring points, and the wire breakage situation inside the cable can be accurately obtained.

[0056] S2. When the cable is in service, install an optical fiber demodulator to connect with the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal in the cable;

[0057] The signal of the weak grating sensing optical fiber is collected in real time by arranging an optical fiber demodulator, which is a high-frequency demodulator capable of processing the signal of the weak grating sensing optical fiber;

[0058] S3, based on the optical fiber demodulator, the wavelength of the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal is collected in real time, and the broken wire situation in the cable is determined according to the relationship between the wavelength of the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal and the number of broken wires in the cable;

[0059] Experimental analysis shows that the signal wavelength of the weak grating sensing optical fiber installed inside the cable is correlated with the number of broken steel wires. By obtaining this correlation, the number of broken steel wires can be converted through the signal wavelength of the weak grating sensing optical fiber during the actual monitoring process, and the broken steel wire situation inside the cable can be obtained in real time.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the present embodiment optimizes the above step S1, and the arrangement of the weak grating sensing optical fiber inside the cable is to install the weak grating sensing optical fiber inside the steel wire bundle. When the cable is manufactured, a steel wire inside the cable is replaced with a structure encapsulating the weak grating sensing optical fiber, specifically, a steel wire at the center of the cable is replaced with a structure encapsulating the weak grating sensing optical fiber. The weak grating sensing optical fiber is arranged throughout the length of the cable, and signal leads connected to the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal are reserved at both ends of the cable.

[0061] The weak grating sensing optical fiber is arranged throughout the length of the cable, so the breakage of the steel wire at any length position in the cable can be monitored. At the same time, multiple strain grating measuring points are evenly arranged on the weak grating sensing optical fiber, which can quickly and densely obtain the broken wire signal at any position of the entire length of the cable.

[0062] This embodiment sets the arrangement of the strain gratings, and the spacing between adjacent strain grating measuring points is 0.2m to 1m, so that the broken wire signals at any position along the entire length of the cable can be accurately collected in real time and densely. The location where the broken wire occurs can be obtained based on the broken wire signals collected by the strain grating measuring points.

[0063] In other embodiments of the present application, the present embodiment optimizes the above-mentioned step S2. Specifically, after the bridge is built, the reserved signal lead passing through the tail end of the cable anchor head is connected to the optical fiber demodulator. The cable of the present embodiment is a cable structure for a bridge. After the bridge is built, the cable is installed. The optical fiber demodulator is arranged at the anchor head position at the end of the cable and connected to the above-mentioned cable signal lead. The optical fiber demodulator can collect the signal of the grating sensing optical fiber inside the cable through the signal lead.

[0064] In a further embodiment of the present application, the present embodiment optimizes the above-mentioned step S3, and the present embodiment optimizes the relationship between the above-mentioned weak grating sensing fiber signal wavelength and the number of broken wires in the cable, and constructs the relationship between the weak grating sensing fiber signal wavelength and the number of broken wires in the cable according to the following formula:

[0065]

[0066] Where: Δλ i ——The wavelength of the weak grating sensing fiber signal is collected by the fiber demodulator;

[0067] F——Force on the cable, which can be measured by pressure ring, accelerometer, etc.

[0068] K i ——Strain sensitivity of weak grating sensing fiber , Obtained during the factory inspection process when the cable is manufactured;

[0071] d——Number of broken wires in the cable;

[0072] E is the elastic modulus of the steel wire in the cable, which can be obtained by looking up the table according to the material of the steel wire used in the cable.

[0073] That is, there is a functional relationship between the wavelength of the weak grating sensing fiber signal of the present embodiment and the number of broken wires in the cable. After the wavelength of the weak grating sensing fiber signal is collected by the optical fiber demodulator, the number of broken wires in the cable can be converted by the above formula, thereby accurately obtaining the broken wire situation inside the cable.

[0074] An early warning can be issued based on the broken wire situation inside the cable, that is, a wire breakage early warning value is set. When the number of broken wires inside the cable exceeds the early warning value, an alarm is issued to avoid safety accidents.

[0075] In actual use, when manufacturing the cable, a steel wire at the center of the cable is replaced with a weak grating sensing optical fiber. The weak grating sensing optical fiber is arranged along the entire length of the cable, and multiple strain grating measuring points are evenly spaced along the length direction on the weak grating sensing optical fiber, and signal leads connected to the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal are reserved at both ends of the cable; after the bridge is formed, the reserved signal lead passing through the tail end of the cable anchor head is connected to the optical fiber demodulator; the wavelength of the weak grating sensing optical fiber signal is collected by the optical fiber demodulator, and the number of broken wires in the cable is obtained according to the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] Where: Δλ i ——Wavelength of weak grating sensing fiber signal;

[0078] F——cable force;

[0084] The number of broken wires in the cable is obtained, the number of broken wires in the cable is compared with the warning value, and an alarm is issued when the number of broken wires exceeds the warning value.

[0085] In addition, the present application also relates to a parallel steel wire rope broken wire monitoring system based on weak grating optical fiber.
