Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber sensing, and more particularly to a lever-type dual-fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Ocean pressure parameters are the basis for determining ocean sound velocity, current velocity, density, and other parameters. Real-time monitoring of ocean pressure is crucial for marine resource development, offshore operations, military defense, and other fields. Fiber Bragg grating sensors, due to their small size, corrosion resistance, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, have become a research hotspot for ocean pressure detection.
[0003] Existing fiber Bragg grating (FBG) pressure sensors typically utilize a single pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating (FBG) structure, resulting in low sensitivity and difficulty meeting the requirements for both high sensitivity and fast response. While some technologies enhance sensitivity through polymer encapsulation or lever structures, these still suffer from insufficient sensitivity and long response times, making them inadequate for high-precision pressure detection in shallow waters.
[0004] In addition, the temperature compensation mechanism of existing sensors mostly adopts a series structure, which has limited temperature compensation effect and is easily affected by the external environment, resulting in inaccurate measurement data.
[0005] Existing sensors also suffer from complex structures and large size, making them difficult to carry and install. For example, some sensors transmit strain through a diaphragm and lever structure. While this achieves sensitivity enhancement, the response speed is slow and they lack effective waterproofing. Seawater infiltration can affect the sensor's stability and service life. These issues limit the widespread application of fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors in ocean exploration.
[0006] Therefore, how to design a fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor with high sensitivity, fast response, excellent temperature compensation effect and compact structure to meet the needs of shallow sea pressure detection is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] Example 1;
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a lever-type dual-fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor, comprising: a rectangular cylindrical shell 1 and a pressure measuring grating assembly installed inside the rectangular cylindrical shell 1;
[0043] The rectangular cylindrical shell 1 has an internal accommodation space, an open upper end and a guide hole at the bottom end; the pressure measuring grating assembly includes: a piston 2, an H-shaped stainless steel tube 4, a T-shaped lever 6, a temperature compensating fiber Bragg grating 8, a first pressure measuring fiber Bragg grating 10, and a second pressure measuring fiber Bragg grating 12;
[0044] The piston 2 covers the opening of the rectangular cylindrical shell 1;
[0045] The H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 is inverted and arranged in the center of the rectangular cylindrical shell 1, and the upper end is welded to the piston 2;
[0046] The T-shaped lever 6 includes a horizontally arranged long portion and a vertically arranged short portion, one end of the long portion is welded to two-thirds of the short portion to form a T-shaped structure, and the long portion is welded to the lower end of the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4;
[0047] The temperature compensating fiber Bragg grating 8 is arranged inside the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 and is connected in parallel with the first pressure measuring fiber Bragg grating 10 and the second pressure measuring fiber Bragg grating 12 through the first optical fiber 5;
[0048] The first pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 10 and the second pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 12 are symmetrically arranged above and below the short portion of the T-shaped lever 6 , and are connected in series via the second optical fiber 9 .
[0049] This lever-type dual-FBG pressure sensor utilizes a symmetrical arrangement of two pressure-measuring FBGs and a polycarbonate package, significantly improving pressure detection sensitivity and response speed (less than 30ms). A built-in temperature-compensating FBG connected in parallel with the pressure-measuring FBG effectively eliminates temperature effects and ensures data accuracy. A PTFE diaphragm prevents seawater infiltration and enhances stability. The overall structure is compact, with a component size of less than 20mm, making it easy to carry and install. It is suitable for pressure detection in shallow waters within the 0-800m range.
[0050] The following is a further detailed description of the various structures of the lever-type dual fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor.
[0051] The pressure measuring grating assembly in this embodiment further comprises: a first diaphragm 3 mounted horizontally below the piston 2, and a second diaphragm 7 mounted vertically on the right side of the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4;
[0052] The two ends of the first diaphragm 3 are fixedly connected to the rectangular cylindrical shell 1 and the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 respectively, and the two ends of the second diaphragm 7 are fixedly connected to the rectangular cylindrical shell 1 and the long part of the T-shaped lever 6 respectively.
[0053] The first diaphragm 3 and the second diaphragm 7 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The first diaphragm 3 is 4 mm long, and the second diaphragm 7 is 14 mm long.
[0054] Here, a first diaphragm 3 is installed horizontally below the piston 2, directly blocking the ingress of seawater. A second diaphragm 7 is installed vertically to the right of the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4, further enhancing the waterproofing effect and preventing seawater from seeping through the gap between the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 and the T-shaped lever 6. This dual-diaphragm design effectively prevents seawater from infiltrating the sensor, ensuring the stability of the pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and the accuracy of the detected data.
[0055] Furthermore, both the first diaphragm 3 and the second diaphragm 7 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance, and elasticity, making it suitable for marine environments. Their dimensions are rationally designed to ensure the waterproof effect of the diaphragms without affecting the overall structure and performance of the sensor.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first optical fiber 5 and the second optical fiber 9 are coupled to form an output optical fiber 14, which is then led out through a guide hole at the bottom end of the rectangular cylindrical shell 1. By using two independent optical fibers to transmit pressure measurement and temperature compensation data, respectively, the overall performance of the system is effectively improved. One optical fiber is used to connect the dual pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating (FBG), while the other is used for the temperature-compensating FBG. This ensures the independence and stability of signal transmission, reduces mutual interference, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection data.
[0057] In this embodiment, the first pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 10 and the second pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 12 are respectively packaged with a first pressure-sensitizing material 11 and a second pressure-sensitizing material 13; the first pressure-sensitizing material 11 and the second pressure-sensitizing material 13 are made of polycarbonate.
[0058] Polycarbonate, with its low Young's modulus and high elasticity, effectively amplifies the strain response of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), significantly improving pressure detection sensitivity. By using polycarbonate encapsulation in pressure-measuring FBGs, the sensor can produce greater deformation when subjected to external pressure, thereby enhancing the wavelength shift of the FBG and improving the accuracy of pressure measurements. Furthermore, polycarbonate's excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength make it suitable for marine environments, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sensor over long-term use.
[0059] In this embodiment, the rectangular cylindrical shell 1 is made of 304 stainless steel, the inner wall thickness of the top is 8 mm, and the inner wall thickness of the bottom and surrounding areas is 4 mm.
[0060] The H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 is made of 304 stainless steel, has a height of 14 mm and a width of 6 mm.
[0061] The temperature-compensating fiber Bragg grating 8, the first pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 10 and the second pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating 12 are fiber Bragg gratings with a central wavelength of 1310 nm.
[0062] The piston 2 is made of 7075 aluminum alloy, has a length of 12 mm, a width of 8 mm, and a thickness of 6 mm.
[0063] The relevant components are built and assembled using elements less than 20mm in size, which makes the entire sensor compact, small in size, light in weight, easy to carry and install. It is particularly suitable for on-site monitoring tasks in complex environments such as the ocean, fully demonstrating its technical advantages of compact structure and portability.
[0064] The lever-type dual fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor in this embodiment achieves high-precision pressure detection through the coordinated operation of various components. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0065] When the seawater pressure acts on the piston 2, the piston 2 is displaced and the displacement is transmitted to the T-shaped lever 6 through the H-shaped stainless steel tube 4 welded to it. The upper and lower parts of the short part of the T-shaped lever 6 are respectively tensile and compressive, which drive the symmetrically arranged first pressure-measuring fiber grating 10 and second pressure-measuring fiber grating 12 to deform. Since the first pressure-measuring fiber grating 10 and the second pressure-measuring fiber grating 12 are respectively encapsulated with polycarbonate material, the strain response can be amplified, significantly improving the sensitivity of pressure detection. The deformation causes the effective refractive index of the fiber grating to change, which in turn causes the center wavelength to shift. By detecting the wavelength changes of the first pressure-measuring fiber grating 10 and the second pressure-measuring fiber grating 12 through a demodulation device, the magnitude of the external pressure can be accurately calculated.
[0066] At the same time, the temperature-compensating fiber Bragg grating 8 is placed inside the h-shaped stainless steel tube 4, is only affected by temperature, and is connected in parallel with the pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating. By detecting the wavelength change of the temperature-compensating fiber Bragg grating 8, the influence of temperature on the pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating can be eliminated, ensuring the accuracy of the pressure measurement data. The first diaphragm 3 and the second diaphragm 7 inside the sensor are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and are respectively installed horizontally below the piston 2 and vertically on the right side of the h-shaped stainless steel tube 4 to prevent seawater from infiltrating, ensuring the stability of the pressure-measuring fiber Bragg grating and the reliability of the detection data. The second optical fiber 9 is embedded in the groove at the bottom end of the rectangular cylindrical shell 1 and coupled with the first optical fiber 5 to form an output optical fiber 14, which is output through the guide hole, which simplifies the optical fiber arrangement and ensures the stability of signal transmission. The overall structure is compact, the component size is small, and it is easy to carry and install. It is suitable for pressure detection tasks in the shallow sea range of 0-800m, with high sensitivity, fast response and long-term stability.

These are coupled at the bottom end of the rectangular cylindrical shell to form a derivation optical fiber, which is then derivationed through the guide hole.
[0073] Testing and calibration: Use a standard pressure source and temperature control box to perform pressure testing and temperature compensation testing on the assembled sensor to ensure that the pressure sensitivity reaches above 3.05nm / Mpa and the response speed is within 30ms, and to verify its stability and accuracy.
