Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of measurement systems, and in particular to an optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development and maturation of piezoelectric materials and theories, various measuring devices for measuring the electromechanical, elastic, and dielectric parameters of piezoelectric ceramics have been developed. However, new displacement measuring devices under high electric field and high pressure environments have not yet been commercially developed. In the process of axial strain measurement of piezoelectric ceramic samples, ferroelectric analyzers are usually used for detection. This is easily affected by factors such as interference from the test environment and signal loss, which may lead to errors in the test results. Data processing is cumbersome, and because there is no pressurization mechanism and the voltage is limited by the power supply, it is impossible to apply pressure and high voltage electric field to the sample, making it difficult to conduct data testing on the sample under high pressure and high voltage electric field environments. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments. This invention can be used to measure the axial displacement of piezoelectric ceramic samples under radial high pressure conditions, and features low susceptibility to environmental influences and high measurement accuracy.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: An optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, comprising a computer, an optical displacement tester, a data acquisition card, a multimeter, a high-voltage amplifier, and an operational amplifier. The optical displacement tester is equipped with a load frame, a temperature regulating component, and a pressurizing mechanism. The load frame is used to apply radial pressure to the sample; the temperature regulating component is used to regulate the ambient temperature at the sample position; the pressurizing mechanism is used to apply axial pressure to the sample; the high-voltage input terminal of the optical displacement tester is connected to the high-voltage amplifier, and the charge signal output terminal of the optical displacement tester is connected to the operational amplifier; the pressure signal input terminal of the pressurizing mechanism is connected to the multimeter; the data acquisition card is connected to the signal transmission terminals of the computer, multimeter, temperature regulating component, displacement signal output terminal of the optical displacement tester, radial pressure signal transmission terminal of the load frame, signal output terminal of the operational amplifier, and signal input terminal of the high-voltage amplifier.
[0005] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, the pressurizing mechanism includes an upper sample holder and a lower sample holder, which are mounted on an optical displacement tester and connected to a multimeter. The top of the optical displacement tester is equipped with a fiber optic displacement sensor connected to a data acquisition card, and the fiber optic displacement sensor has a contact pin located between the upper and lower sample holders. The temperature regulating component includes a crucible mounted on the lower sample holder and corresponding to the contact pin, and a temperature controller connected to the data acquisition card is mounted on the crucible.
[0006] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, the optical displacement tester is provided with a high-voltage input interface connected to a contact pin and a high-voltage output interface connected to a crucible. The high-voltage input interface and the high-voltage output interface are connected to a high-voltage amplifier.
[0007] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, a reference capacitor connected to an operational amplifier is attached to the contact pin. The reference capacitor is used to store charge in place of the sample.
[0008] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, the load frame includes a fixing block disposed on the side of the contact pin, and a piezoelectric actuator, a piezoelectric sensor, and a loading mold are sequentially disposed on the fixing block; the piezoelectric sensor is connected to a data acquisition card.
[0009] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, the computer includes a data analysis module and a virtual parameter actuation module. The data analysis module analyzes the received detection data, and the virtual parameter actuation module establishes relationships with the elements in the data analysis module and modifies the parameters within a specified range, thereby driving various simulation analysis methods to calculate and solve for different parameters.
[0010] In the aforementioned optical displacement measurement system for high-pressure environments, the testing method involves placing the sample inside the pressurizing mechanism of the optical displacement tester, adjusting the clamping force of the pressurizing mechanism to keep the multimeter at a fixed value, and using a high-voltage amplifier controlled by a computer via a data acquisition card to amplify the AC current with the received function signal before it enters the optical displacement tester to form an electric field. The load frame, controlled by the computer via the data acquisition card, applies radial pressure to the sample, and a temperature regulator controls the ambient temperature inside the optical displacement tester. During the test, the displacement signal and charge signal of the optical displacement tester are collected and processed by the computer via the data acquisition card.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this invention places the sample within the pressurization mechanism of an optical displacement tester during testing. The clamping force of the pressurization mechanism is adjusted to maintain a fixed multimeter reading. A high-voltage amplifier, controlled by a computer via a data acquisition card, amplifies the AC current using a received function signal before it enters the optical displacement tester to form an electric field. A load frame, also controlled by the computer via the data acquisition card, applies radial pressure to the sample. A temperature regulator controls the ambient temperature within the optical displacement tester. During testing, the displacement and charge signals from the optical displacement tester are collected and processed by the computer via the data acquisition card. A high-pressure testing environment is obtained by applying axial pressure to the sample through the pressurization mechanism, and a high-voltage electric field testing environment is obtained through the high-voltage amplifier. This allows for data testing under both high-pressure and high-voltage electric field environments. The pressurization mechanism, temperature regulator, and high-voltage amplifier are all computer-controlled, enabling accurate control of test variables and reducing susceptibility to environmental influences. Simultaneously, the operational amplifier improves signal quality reliability, thereby enhancing measurement accuracy. Attached Figure Description
