Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber optic vibration sensing performance testing for hydraulic structures, and specifically to a testing platform for fiber optic vibration sensing performance testing of hydraulic structures under complex service environments. Background Technology

[0002] Thanks to favorable conditions such as the leap in computer performance, the reduction in the cost of optical components, and the improvement in manufacturing precision, distributed fiber optic vibration sensing technology has developed rapidly in the past decade or so. In particular, it is being widely applied in fields such as security and surveillance, trajectory tracking, and wave field transmission, achieving full-range, high-dynamic, and wide-frequency domain target monitoring, and achieving analytical effects that traditional monitoring techniques cannot achieve, thus promoting and even leading a new round of technological revolution in these fields.

[0003] Fiber optic sensing technology has also received significant attention and research in the field of structural health monitoring. Technologies such as fiber optic grating gap measurement, distributed fiber optic permeability measurement, and distributed fiber optic settlement measurement have successively achieved experimental verification, engineering applications, and standard adoption. However, it is worth noting that as the monitoring range of fiber optics increases, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of measurement information at various points on a spatial scale has become a major challenge for engineers. The solution involves many aspects, including the packaging and deployment of fiber optic sensing elements, optical signal demodulation and calibration, and instrument system packaging and testing. Therefore, when structural health monitoring demands large-scale and high-precision applications, the related research and development work for the successful application of fiber optic sensing technology remains a long and arduous task.

[0004] Distributed fiber optic vibration sensing technology has further enhanced time-scale measurement capabilities, leading to an exponential increase in the amount of monitoring data and placing higher demands on technological research and development. Currently, significant progress has been made in optical signal demodulation, optical sensing element design, optical cable deployment methods, and the development of optical digital signal systems. However, research on optical signal calibration is insufficient when coupling with specific structures. Particularly when the engineering structure is located in a complex environment, there are few readily available guidelines on how environmental characteristics affect the components of the measurement signals, and the effectiveness of distributed fiber optic vibration sensing remains unknown.

[0005] Hydraulic structures such as dams, sluices, and water towers are representative of this type of engineering structure. When fiber optic sensing elements are deployed in the structure, they will be simultaneously affected by wave loads, water environment corrosion, solar radiation, wet and dry changes, vibration excitation, and their own structural properties. The aforementioned factors such as optical signal demodulation methods, optical sensing element design, optical cable deployment methods, and system errors also bring more interference. Conducting precise distributed fiber optic vibration sensing performance tests indoors is a necessary prerequisite for the technology to be applied in practice.

[0006] How to deploy simulations of the service environment conditions of hydraulic structures as much as possible within a limited space is a key issue in improving the economy, feasibility and ease of use of the test. The simulation devices for these environmental conditions should be precisely controllable, have an efficient and reasonable layout, be well-ordered in operation, and be freely and flexibly matched with each other. In order to achieve the above goals and better serve the performance testing of fiber optic vibration sensors, it is urgent to design a highly modular and integrated test platform.

[0022] Beneficial effects

[0023] 1. This invention, through modular design, balances the diversity and scalability of experimental conditions. The detachable model base module, characterized by precise positioning and rapid disassembly, significantly improves experimental efficiency and supports flexible replacement of different test object models. The complex service environment simulation module and water circulation module achieve comprehensive simulation of the service environment, covering various working conditions such as underwater environment, wave impact, solar radiation, and rainfall intensity.

In addition, through the precise computer adjustment function of the sensing control module, the platform can dynamically adjust light intensity, rainfall conditions, and water flow parameters to meet the experimental requirements of simultaneous action of complex environmental variables. The excitation transmission module is designed with both high-precision excitation and multi-functional simulation capabilities. Through the combined application of irregularly shaped vibration transmission components and guide rail supports, this module can flexibly simulate actual working conditions under seismic excitation, wave action, or a combination of both. The modular design ensures diverse excitation modes and supports rapid adjustment of the exciter platform position, enabling comprehensive analysis of the vibration response of hydraulic structures under different operating conditions. With its precise testing capabilities, flexible environmental simulation, diverse excitation modes, and efficient model replacement process, this platform provides strong technical support for the study of fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures in complex service environments, demonstrating significant application value and potential for widespread adoption.

[0024] 2. The detachable model base module designed in this invention features a rolling shaft between the fixed base and the vibration platform. This shaft rolls without lateral movement or rotation, reducing friction between the fixed base and the vibration platform and preventing significant displacement of the vibration platform. Limiting springs connect the vibration platform to the fixed base on both sides, buffering the excitation vibration of the platform. The detachable connection between the vibration platform and the model casting platform facilitates easy replacement of the test model on the vibration platform. Replacement only requires removing the model casting platform and the test model from it; a new model casting platform is then used to replace the existing one.

[0025] 3. The cylindrical protrusion designed in this invention serves as a limiting force between the vibration platform and the model casting platform. When the vibration platform and the model casting platform are connected and fixed, the cylindrical protrusion provides the limiting force. After the model casting platform is installed in place, the vibration platform and the model casting platform can be relatively fixed together by bolts.

[0026] 4. This invention incorporates solar radiation environment simulation components, rainfall environment simulation components, and wave impact environment simulation components within an underwater environment simulation tank. This allows for the simulation of solar radiation, rainfall, and wave environments, creating various conditions for testing the vibration response of fiber optic sensing elements on hydraulic structure models. It can simulate comprehensive air and water environment parameters, resulting in more complete testing.

[0027] 5. In order to simulate the realism of the effect, the present invention directly sets the solar radiation environment simulation component, the rainfall environment simulation component, and the wave impact environment simulation component on a guide rail. By sliding left and right on the guide rail, it is possible to adjust the air parameters at multiple angles and positions, adjust the rainfall environment at multiple positions, and simulate the wave environment at multiple positions.

[0028] 6. The exciter designed in this invention can transmit lateral excitation to the vibration platform through a vibration transmission frame. In addition, it can also transmit lateral excitation to the wave impact environment simulation component. By transmitting lateral excitation to the wave-generating plate, wave-generating excitation is achieved. The fiber optic vibration sensing data at this time can be collected and analyzed to study the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under wave impact.

[0029] 7. The horizontal vibration transmission component designed in this invention has multiple slots on its surface, which can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the vibration transmission displacement component, and thus adjust the position of the excitation transmission module and the wave generator, thereby meeting the fiber optic vibration sensing performance under multi-angle and multi-position wave generation and excitation.

The fiber optic demodulator is connected to the fiber optic sensing element of the vibration response of the hydraulic structure model.

[0046] See the detachable model base module. Figure 2 The system includes a fixed base 101, a vibration platform 103, limiting springs 107, a waterproof rubber sheet 111, rolling shafts 105, and a model casting platform 110. The fixed base 101 is initially fixed to a solid, flat surface. Several rolling shafts 105 are spaced at intervals on its inner surface, perpendicular to the excitation transmission direction. (The bottom inner surface of the fixed base 101 has elongated cylindrical grooves 104 to embed the rolling shafts 105, preventing lateral movement or rotation during rolling.) The vibration platform 103 rests on the rolling shafts 105. Multiple rolling shafts 105 are spaced vertically between the vibration platform 103 and the fixed base 101 to reduce frictional resistance during forward and backward movement of the vibration platform 103. Limiting springs 107 are inserted between the vibration platform 103 and the fixed base 101 on both sides to prevent the vibration platform 103 from impacting the fixed base 101 and to simultaneously simulate the dynamic characteristics of the structural foundation. In this embodiment, four small holes are opened on the inner front and rear walls of the fixed base 101 and the front and rear walls of the vibration platform 103 to embed the limiting spring 107.

[0047] The vibration platform 103 and the fixed base 101 are sealed with a waterproof rubber sheet 111 to prevent water from entering the base module and affecting the excitation efficiency. A model casting platform 110 is detachably installed on the surface of the vibration platform 103, and the test model is cast on the model casting platform 110. The vibration platform 103 is connected to the excitation transmission module 3 through the opening slots on both sides of the fixed base 101.

Specifically, several vibration platform screw holes 106 are provided on the surface of the vibration platform 103, and several model casting platform screw holes 109 are provided through the surface of the model casting platform 110. The vibration platform screw holes 106 and the model casting platform screw holes 109 correspond one-to-one. After the model casting platform 110 is placed on the surface of the vibration platform 103, the two are directly fixed together with bolts. To ensure the one-to-one correspondence between the vibration platform screw holes 106 and the model casting platform screw holes 109, a pair of cylindrical protrusions 108 are also provided on the surface of the vibration platform 103, and the model casting platform 110 has corresponding grooves that match the cylindrical protrusions 108. The cylindrical protrusion 108 limits the vibration platform 103 and the model casting platform 110 to be set in a corresponding manner.

[0049] The complex service environment simulation module 2 includes an underwater environment simulation tank 201, a solar radiation environment simulation component, a rainfall environment simulation component, and a wave impact environment simulation component.

[0050] The underwater environment simulation tank 201 is surrounded by multiple guide rail supports 305. Guide rails 303 are installed on the guide rail supports 305 parallel to the two sides of the underwater environment simulation tank 201. A composite functional frame 211 is slidably connected between a pair of guide rails 303. The composite functional frame 211 is connected to a solar radiation environment simulation component and a rainfall environment simulation component through a composite functional frame transverse groove 210. The solar radiation environment simulation component includes an incandescent lamp 202 and an ultraviolet lamp 208. The rainfall environment simulation component includes a rainwater pipe 203 connected to the transverse groove 210 of the composite functional frame.

The horizontal vibration transmission component 312 is fixedly connected to the vertical vibration transmission component 313, and both sides of the vertical vibration transmission component 313 are fixedly connected to the vibration platform wing plate 102.

[0060] The water circulation module 4 includes a purified water tank 401, a water tank containing acid ions 402, and a connecting pipe 403. The purified water tank 401 and the water tank containing acid ions 402 are placed side by side on one side of the complex service environment simulation module 2. The purified water tank 401 is provided with a water inlet 405, and there is a polypropylene membrane 404 between it and the water tank containing acid ions 402, so that only purified water can pass through the connecting port. The purified water tank 401 and the water tank containing acid ions 402 are respectively led out by connecting pipes 403, which are arranged along the underwater environment simulation water tank 201 and connected to the complex service environment simulation module 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, guide rail 303 is designed as a multi-functional guide rail, see [link / reference]. Figure 8 The device has three guide rail paths with an I-shaped cross-section. A vibration transmission frame 304 is fitted onto the upper sliding path of the I-shape. A composite functional frame 211, a wave generator 205, and a vibrator platform 302 are respectively installed on the two sliding paths at the lower end of the I-shape. The wave generator 205 and the vibrator platform 302 are located on the same side of the sliding path, ensuring that the composite functional frame 211, vibration transmission frame 304, wave generator 205, and vibrator platform 302 do not interfere with each other when sliding on the guide rails 303. Protruding structures are provided on the guide rails 303 of the two sliding paths at the lower end of the I-shape to restrict the movement of the vibration transmission frame 304, composite functional frame 211, wave generator 205, and vibrator platform 302 along the guide rails 303.

[0062] Meanwhile, referring to the drive design of the composite functional frame 211, the second lead screw and the second stepper motor are used to drive the wave generator 205 to slide on the guide rail 303. The second stepper motor is connected to the controller, and the controller controls the operation of the second stepper motor.

[0063] The testing process for the testing platform is as follows:

[0064] Step 1: Find a suitable test site with a flat and stable ground. Drill holes in the ground and fix the base 101 through the bottom screw holes. Place the rolling shaft 105 inside the base 101, put in the vibration platform 103 and install the vibration platform wing plate 102. Put in the limiting spring 107 and seal the inside of the base 101 with waterproof rubber cloth 111. Pour the model on the model casting platform 110 to make the model. At the same time, install the vibration response fiber optic sensing element of the hydraulic structure model (not shown in the figure, usually set inside the test model). Move the model casting platform 110 along the top of the vibration platform 103 and connect and fix the model casting platform 110 to the vibration platform 103.

[0065] Step 2: Arrange the underwater environment simulation tank 201 along the installed detachable model base module 1. First, determine the position of the support rod 208, then insert the glass baffle 207 and the water-proof base plate 206. Adjust the position of the support rod 208 and the height of the support foot 213 to ensure that the glass baffle 207, the water-proof base plate 206, and the support rod 208 are in close contact. Use epoxy resin glue for sealing and bonding. Check for water leakage at the bottom of the underwater environment simulation tank 201.

[0066] Step 3: Determine the position of the guide rail support 305 and fix it in place. Install the guide rail 303 and apply machine oil to the surface of the guide rail 303 to ensure smooth movement of various components.

[0067] Step 4: Insert the vertical vibration transmission component 313 and the horizontal vibration transmission component 312 in sequence and fix them together. Fix both sides of the vertical vibration transmission component 313 to the vibration platform wing plate 102. Insert the wave-making plate 205 into the guide rail 303 and continue to insert the exciter platform 302. Install and fix the exciter 301. According to the position of the wave-making plate 205 set in the test, fix the top fixed hanging platform 204 and the first connecting rod 309 at the top of the excitation rod 306. Use the limiting clamp 307 to fix the exciter platform 302 on the guide rail 303.

[0068] Step 5: When the first connecting rod 309 and the second connecting rod 310 are not used to connect the horizontal vibration transmission component 312 and the vertical vibration transmission component 313, the excitation provided by the exciter 301 is not transmitted to the vibration platform 103. At this time, the exciter 301 only performs wave-generating excitation. The fiber optic vibration sensing data at this time is collected and analyzed, and the fiber optic vibration sensing efficiency of the hydraulic structure under wave impact can be studied.

[0069] Step 6: Loosen the fixing bolts between the first connecting rod 309 and the top fixed mounting platform 204, and connect the horizontal vibration transmission component 312 using the second connecting rod 310. At this time, the excitation provided by the exciter 301 can be transmitted to the vibration platform 103, but wave-generating excitation does not occur. Collect and analyze the fiber optic vibration sensing data at this time to study the fiber optic vibration sensing effectiveness of hydraulic structures under seismic loading. Moving the position of the exciter platform 302 can simulate the vibration characteristics of water-retaining structures at different locations and conduct related fiber optic vibration sensing effectiveness tests.

[0070] Step 7: Simultaneously fix the fixing bolts of the top fixed mounting platform 204 and the first connecting rod 309, and the second connecting rod 310 and the horizontal vibration transmission component 312, so that the excitation provided by the exciter 301 can be transmitted to the vibration platform 103 and the wave generator 205 at the same time. This can simulate the combined effect of seismic excitation on the reservoir water-dam body and conduct a research experiment on the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under this working condition.

[0071] Step 8: Based on the real-time sensing of various environmental condition parameters on the model surface by temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and ultraviolet intensity sensor, and according to the built-in environment settings of the computer, issue instructions to adjust the intensity and position of incandescent lamp 202 and ultraviolet lamp 208 through the controller, and conduct research and experiment on the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under complex lighting conditions.

[0072] Step 9: Based on the real-time sensing of various water condition parameters by the acid ion concentration sensor and water level sensor built into the underwater environment simulation tank 201, and according to the requirements of the computer's built-in environment settings, the controller is issued to adjust the operation of the compressor pump, and a research experiment on the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under complex water conditions is conducted.

[0073] Step 10: Based on the acid ion concentration sensor built into the rainwater pipe 203, and according to the computer's built-in environment settings, an instruction is issued to adjust the operation of the compressor pump through the controller to conduct a research experiment on the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under different concentrations of acid ion rainfall.

[0074] Step 11: Remove the complex service environment simulation module 2, the excitation transmission module 3, and the glass baffle 207 in the middle of the underwater environment simulation tank 201. Disassemble and replace the model casting platform 110 and the test model. Repeat steps 5 to 10 to achieve the purpose of quickly replacing the test model to test the fiber optic vibration sensing performance of hydraulic structures under complex service environments.
