Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of operation monitoring of the foundation of a molten salt tank for solar-thermal energy storage, and particularly to a monitoring device and method for foundation settlement, temperature, and water seepage based on a grating. Background Art
[0002] As a key component for heat storage and heat transfer in solar-thermal power generation technology, deeply understanding and solving its design and operation problems, and ensuring its safe and efficient operation are the basis for the steady development of solar-thermal power generation technology. The molten salt storage tank has a large capacity and a complex structure. Ensuring the stability and safety of the heat storage tank is an important goal of the molten salt energy storage project, and the requirements for the foundation also increase accordingly.
[0003] Currently, the deformation of the foundation material of the storage tank, the resulting uneven settlement, and the excessive thermal stress of the bottom plate caused by rainfall or rising groundwater level are the main problems affecting the stable operation of the storage tank. Therefore, the monitoring of the foundation settlement, temperature, and water seepage of the storage tank is crucial. Currently, there are relatively few monitoring technologies for the deformation of the foundation material. The foundation settlement data is mainly directly monitored through a level or a total station. Generally, both of these devices require manual setting and operation, resulting in the monitoring process being possibly affected by human factors. In addition, these two devices can only detect when the overall settlement displacement of the tank body or the foundation occurs, which is not conducive to perceiving and preventing the hazards brought by foundation settlement in advance. Accurate and sensitive temperature and settlement deformation monitoring are very important for the stable operation of the storage tank. New monitoring technologies need to be developed in the future.
[0004] Patent CN108592871A discloses a monitoring device and system for the foundation settlement of a storage tank. This device can only monitor the vertical settlement of the foundation at an external fixed position, cannot meet the detection of the internal position and uneven settlement of the molten salt tank foundation, has a certain lag, and does not have a temperature compensation device, is easily affected by external temperature changes, and has limited measurement accuracy.
[0005] Patent CN113931697A discloses a tunnel water seepage warning device and a tunnel water seepage monitoring and treatment method. This device has a shell that plays a supporting role, which will damage the foundation structure; and when the foundation undergoes uneven settlement, it may cause damage to the shell of the detection device, resulting in the failure of the internal weighing device.
[0006] In summary, the existing foundation parameter monitoring mainly focuses on single parameter monitoring. The monitoring of foundation temperature parameters is mainly carried out by installing a certain number of thermocouples or resistance thermometers. It is very difficult to install a large number of thermocouples or resistance thermometers in the tank foundation, and the installation of the two may damage the tank foundation structure and thermal insulation characteristics. The number of pre-buried thermocouples in actual solar thermal power stations is limited, which leads to a large detection area for a single thermocouple; temperature measurement may be affected by ambient environmental factors (such as humidity, pressure, corrosion, etc.), resulting in unstable measurement results; and thermocouple and thermal resistance temperature measurement technology are not sensitive enough for temperature monitoring and cannot respond quickly to tiny molten salt leaks, so a more sensitive detection method is needed. For foundation settlement data, most foundation monitoring is based on data collection when settlement occurs above the surface, which cannot directly monitor subtle changes in the foundation and lacks sensitivity; and is easily affected by other environmental factors, and the accuracy needs to be improved. As for water seepage monitoring, the existing means are insufficient and easily damage the foundation structure, and cannot meet the requirements of accurate real-time measurement of multiple parameters of the foundation when the tank is in operation.

[0012] The settlement deformation monitoring grating and the temperature compensation grating of the settlement and temperature real-time monitoring component, and the seepage deformation grating of the seepage real-time monitoring component are respectively connected to the grating demodulator through jumpers. The grating demodulator is connected to the control end, and the control end is used to perform temperature compensation on the data analyzed by the grating demodulator to obtain the settlement deformation data and the seepage volume after temperature compensation.
[0013] Further, a plurality of the grating protective layers are sequentially and uniformly fixed on the inner wall of the heat-conducting protective shell along the axial direction by epoxy resin.

[0015] Further, the length of the conduction optical fiber is set with a redundancy amount to ensure that the temperature compensation grating is only affected by temperature.

[0018] Further, the plurality of monitoring units are arranged in a circumferential array, that is, they are evenly divided into multiple groups in the circumferential direction, and multiple are evenly arranged in each group along the radial direction.
[0019] A method for monitoring foundation settlement, temperature, and seepage based on a grating, which is implemented according to the described grating-based foundation settlement, temperature, and seepage monitoring device, includes the following steps:
[0020] S1: Prepare a real-time settlement and temperature monitoring component and a real-time seepage monitoring component according to the requirements of the grating-based foundation settlement, temperature, and seepage monitoring device.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] (1) The present invention has a fast monitoring response speed and good real-time performance for temperature and settlement deformation: adopting the fiber grating sensing technology, with high sensitivity, fast speed of collecting and transmitting information, and can realize remote real-time monitoring at the control terminal, avoiding personnel inspection and examination.
[0026] (2) The present invention has high monitoring accuracy for temperature and settlement deformation. The grating is only sensitive to settlement deformation and temperature, excluding the influence of the external environment on parameter monitoring; using temperature compensation technology, the heat-conducting protective shell is filled with heat-conducting oil to ensure uniform temperature distribution inside. The temperature compensation grating is suspended in the heat-conducting oil with a certain viscosity, and a light plastic hard shell is set outside as a protective layer to further ensure that it is not affected by deformation, which not only plays a temperature compensation function but also a temperature monitoring function to reflect the molten salt leakage situation.

Detailed Embodiment
[0033] The present invention will be described in detail below according to the drawings and preferred embodiments. The purpose and effect of the present invention will become more apparent. The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a grating - based foundation settlement, temperature, and seepage monitoring device includes: a real - time settlement and temperature monitoring component, a real - time seepage monitoring component, a grating demodulator 16, a control terminal 17, and a jumper 18.
[0035] The real - time settlement and temperature monitoring component includes: a heat - conducting protective shell 1, heat - conducting oil 2, a settlement deformation monitoring grating 3, a grating protective layer 4, epoxy resin 5, a temperature - compensating grating 6, a lightweight plastic hard shell 7, a one - way low - pressure oil return port 8, a one - way high - pressure oil drain port 9, and a conduction optical fiber 10.
[0036] Due to the small size and fragility of the grating, its safety needs to be ensured during installation under harsh conditions; the heat-conducting protective shell 1 is a hollow cylinder, which plays a role in protecting the internal grating device. When buried in the foundation, its axis is parallel to the horizontal plane, and during the compaction process, the heat-conducting protective shell 1 maintains good contact with the external soil layer; the heat-conducting protective shell 1 has good flexibility, can better transmit bending deformation, and has good heat-conducting performance, reducing the loss of temperature during the transfer process to the inside of the heat-conducting protective shell 1. The interior of the heat-conducting protective shell 1 is divided into two chambers, a large chamber and a small chamber. The large chamber is filled with heat-conducting oil 2 with good heat transfer effect. Considering that the heat-conducting oil 2 is an incompressible liquid, a one-way low-pressure oil return port 8 and a one-way high-pressure oil drain port 9 are successively arranged on the partition surface between the two chambers. When the heat-conducting protective shell 1 is not affected by external forces, that is, in the initial state, the heat-conducting oil 2 fills the large chamber, and the small chamber is an empty cavity; when the foundation settles and the heat-conducting protective shell 1 is compressed, a high pressure is generated inside the large chamber. When the pressure reaches the opening pressure of the one-way high-pressure oil drain port 9, the heat-conducting oil 2 drains to the small chamber through the one-way high-pressure oil drain port 9, avoiding the influence of high pressure on the device, so as to improve the response of the device to the deformation of the external soil layer and achieve the effect of making the heat-conducting protective shell 1 truly respond to the external deformation; when the heat-conducting oil 2 in the large chamber is insufficient and needs to return oil, when the generated pressure reaches the opening pressure of the one-way low-pressure oil return port 8, the heat-conducting oil 2 returns to the large chamber from the small chamber again through the one-way low-pressure oil return port 8, so that the large chamber always remains in a state of being filled with heat-conducting oil 2.
[0037] There are multiple settlement deformation monitoring gratings 3, and each settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 is externally wrapped with a grating protective layer 4. The grating protective layer 4 has good heat conductivity, flexibility and sealing performance, playing a role in protecting the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3. The multiple grating protective layers 4 are sequentially and uniformly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-conducting protective shell 1 along the axial direction by epoxy resin 5, ensuring that the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 and the heat-conducting protective shell 1 have good response to deformation and improving the sensitivity of detecting deformation.
[0038] The number of temperature compensation gratings 6 is the same as the number of settlement deformation monitoring gratings 3. Each temperature compensation grating 6 is externally wrapped with a light plastic hard shell 7, and the temperature compensation grating 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the light plastic hard shell 7 (in this embodiment, the connection is achieved by gluing); the light plastic hard shell 7 has certain hardness, good heat conductivity and sealing performance, playing a role in protecting the temperature compensation grating 6. The space between the temperature compensation grating 6 and the light plastic hard shell 7 is hollow, and the heat-conducting oil 2 has a certain viscosity and density, so as to generate sufficient buoyancy to balance the gravity of the light plastic hard shell 7 with the built-in temperature compensation grating 6, so that the temperature compensation grating 6 can float in the heat-conducting oil 2. Each temperature compensation grating 6 corresponds to a settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 in the vertical direction.
[0039] The lightweight plastic hard shell 7 ensures that the temperature compensation grating 6 is not affected by deformation. The heat conduction protective shell 1, the heat conduction oil 2, the grating protective layer 4, and the lightweight plastic hard shell 7 jointly reduce the loss of temperature during transmission, ensuring that all grating devices are affected by the same temperature, so that the temperature compensation grating 6 can perform temperature compensation.
[0040] Adjacent settlement deformation monitoring gratings 3 are connected by a conduction optical fiber 10 to transmit optical signals. Adjacent temperature compensation gratings 6 are also connected by a conduction optical fiber 10 to transmit optical signals, and the length of the conduction optical fiber 10 has a certain redundancy, further ensuring that the temperature compensation grating 6 is only affected by temperature and not interfered by other mechanical stresses or strains.
[0041] The real-time water seepage monitoring component includes: a water seepage deformation grating 11, a compressible and expandable push rod 12, an expansion structure 13, a water isolation plate 14, and a water seepage sensitizing rubber funnel 15.
[0042] The water seepage deformation grating 11 is arranged in the large chamber and fixed on the partition surface between the large chamber and the small chamber to ensure that it is affected by the same temperature as the temperature compensation grating 6 and the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3. In order to perform water seepage monitoring more quickly and sensitively, a water seepage sensitizing rubber funnel 15 is set on the right side outside the heat conduction protective shell 1. By increasing the water seepage collection area through the funnel, the collected water seepage volume is greatly increased under the same water seepage volume, increasing the water seepage detection sensitivity; the water seepage sensitizing rubber funnel 15 has openings in the upper and lower directions and the upper and lower openings are connected, so that the device has a sensitizing monitoring function for both the rising of groundwater (entering through the funnel opening with the opening direction downward) and the seepage of surface water (entering through the funnel opening with the opening direction upward); the material of the water seepage sensitizing rubber funnel 15 is rubber, which is impermeable, corrosion-resistant and relatively soft, avoiding damage to the foundation structure. A cylindrical channel is horizontally arranged between the central position of the water seepage deformation grating 11 and the central position of the water seepage sensitizing rubber funnel 15, and an expansion structure 13 is arranged in the cylindrical channel. The expansion structure 13 uses a water-swellable material with good expansibility. A water isolation plate 14 is horizontally arranged on the right side of the expansion structure 13 to isolate the upper and lower openings and play a role in guiding the flow direction of water seepage, so that the water seepage converges towards the expansion structure 13 instead of permeating upward or downward.
[0043] The compressible expansion push rod 12 is horizontally arranged on the left side of the expansion structure 13. In the initial installation state (when the foundation is in a dry state), the left side of the compressible expansion push rod 12 is in contact with the central position of the water seepage deformation grating 11 without any interaction force, and the right side is in contact with the expansion structure 13. When the expansion structure 13 expands when encountering water, it will push the compressible expansion push rod 12 to move leftward to achieve displacement transmission. The compressible expansion push rod 12 is compressible and acts on the water seepage deformation grating 11, causing it to be squeezed and deformed. The water seepage situation is judged by detecting the grating signal, and the speed and magnitude of the change in the grating signal also reflect the amount of water seepage to a certain extent.
[0044] Collect and process the data of the settlement and temperature real-time monitoring component and the water seepage real-time monitoring component. Specifically, the pigtails of the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3, the temperature compensation grating 6, and the water seepage deformation grating 11 are respectively connected to the grating demodulator 16 through the jumper 18 to realize the real-time transmission of the optical signals detected by the three gratings to the grating demodulator 16. The grating demodulator 16 is used to analyze the optical signals transmitted by the jumper 18 in order to generate the required data, and analyze the variables measured by the corresponding grating by observing the wavelength change of the fiber grating. The grating demodulator 16 is connected to the control end 17, and the data analyzed by the grating demodulator 16 is transmitted to the control end 17. The control end 17 performs relevant data compensation work, that is, the temperature data collected by the temperature compensation grating 6 is used to perform temperature compensation on the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 and the water seepage deformation grating 11, so as to obtain more accurate settlement deformation data and the amount of water seepage. For the convenience of control, the grating demodulator 16 and the control end 17 are arranged on the ground.
[0045] As Figure 3 shown, the grating-based foundation settlement, temperature and water seepage monitoring device is arranged in the foundation under the high-temperature molten salt storage tank, and there are multiple monitoring units. Each monitoring unit includes a settlement and temperature real-time monitoring component and a water seepage real-time monitoring component. Each monitoring unit is on the same horizontal plane and is arranged in a linear array; each monitoring unit is connected to the grating demodulator 16 through the jumper 18. By analyzing the settlement deformation data generated at different positions in the same linear direction, the settlement situation of the foundation in this linear direction can be accurately analyzed. In this embodiment, the monitoring units are arranged in a circular array, that is, evenly divided into multiple groups in the circumferential direction, and multiple are evenly arranged in the radial direction in each group.
[0046] According to the above grating-based foundation settlement, temperature and water seepage monitoring device, the embodiment of the present invention also proposes a grating-based foundation settlement, temperature and water seepage monitoring method, including the following steps:
[0047] S1: According to the requirements of the above-mentioned grating-based ground settlement, temperature and seepage monitoring device, prefabricate the real-time settlement and temperature monitoring components and the real-time seepage monitoring components, and install the temperature compensation grating 6, the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 and the seepage deformation grating 11 in the heat conduction protection shell 1 filled with heat conduction oil 2 according to the corresponding positions and connection requirements.
[0048] S2: Fill the device into the ground. During the compaction process of the ceramsite soil, lay the heat conduction protection shell 1 equipped with the three monitoring gratings in the ceramsite soil, and connect the three monitoring gratings to the grating demodulator 16 with jumpers 18 respectively.
[0049] S3: The grating demodulator 16 analyzes the optical signals returned by the three monitoring gratings. The principle is as follows:
[0050] When the grating is only affected by temperature, the change in the central wavelength drift of the grating is mainly reflected in two aspects: the thermo-optic effect causes the refractive index to change, and the thermal expansion effect causes the grating period to change. In this case, the optical signal returned by the temperature compensation grating 6 can be analyzed to obtain the central wavelength drift Δλ of the grating BT , and its expression is as follows:
[0051] Δλ BT =λ BT (ζ + α)·ΔT
[0052] In the formula, λ BT is the Bragg wavelength of the temperature compensation grating 6, α is the thermal expansion coefficient of the optical fiber, ζ is the thermo-optic coefficient of the optical fiber, and ΔT is the temperature change.
[0053] When the grating is only affected by settlement deformation, the change in the central wavelength drift of the grating is mainly reflected in two aspects: the elasto-optic effect causes the refractive index to change, and the settlement deformation causes the grating period to change. At this time, the expression of the central wavelength drift Δλ of the grating BS is as follows:
[0054] Δλ BS =λ BS (1 - P)ε
[0055] In the formula, λ BS is the Bragg wavelength when the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 is only affected by settlement deformation, which is an unknown quantity; P is the elasto-optic coefficient of the optical fiber, and ε is the change in the grating period caused by the deformation of the optical fiber.
[0056] In practical applications, the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 is affected by both settlement deformation and temperature at the same time, and temperature compensation needs to be carried out through the control end 17 to obtain Δλ BS .
[0057] When the grating is only affected by the swelling deformation due to water seepage, the change in the drift of the central wavelength of the grating is mainly reflected in two aspects: the elasto-optic effect changes the refractive index, and the swelling deformation due to water seepage changes the grating period. At this time, the drift of the central wavelength of the grating Δλ BW has the following expression:
[0058] Δλ BW = λ BW (1 - P)ε
[0059] where λ BW is the Bragg wavelength when the water-seepage deformation grating 11 is only affected by the swelling deformation due to water seepage, which is an unknown quantity.
[0060] In practical applications, the water-seepage deformation grating 11 is affected by both the swelling deformation due to water seepage and temperature. Temperature compensation needs to be carried out through the control end 17 to obtain Δλ BW .
[0061] S4: The grating demodulator 16 transmits the analyzed data to the control end 17, and the control end 17 performs temperature compensation. The specific operations are as follows:
[0062] The settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 is affected by both settlement deformation and temperature. Then, the drift of the central wavelength of the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 has the following expression:
[0063]
[0064] where represents the Bragg wavelength when the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3 is actually detected.
[0065] The water-seepage deformation grating 11 is affected by both the swelling deformation due to water seepage and temperature. Then, the drift of the central wavelength of the water-seepage deformation grating 11 has the following expression:
[0066]
[0067] where represents the Bragg wavelength when the water-seepage deformation grating 11 is actually detected.
[0068] The control end 17 performs temperature compensation on the detection result of the settlement deformation monitoring grating 3, subtracts by Δλ BT , to obtain the drift of the central wavelength of the grating Δλ BS that is only affected by the settlement deformation, and then calculates the corresponding settlement deformation after temperature compensation. Based on the settlement deformations obtained from multiple monitoring units arranged in an array, it is judged whether there is local settlement of the foundation. Similarly, for the detection result of the water-seepage deformation grating 11, temperature compensation is performed, and is subtracted by ΔλBT , the drift amount Δλ of the grating center wavelength affected only by the swelling deformation due to seepage water is obtained BW , and then the swelling deformation amount due to seepage water after temperature compensation is calculated, so as to reflect the seepage situation.
[0069] The present invention is applicable to the real-time monitoring of multiple parameters such as temperature, settlement, and ceramsite soil seepage of various storage tank foundations or other suitable building foundations, and has a fast response speed and high monitoring accuracy, providing reference information for the operation state monitoring of high-temperature molten salt storage tanks.
