Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a double-layer magnetic shielding fiber-optic gyroscope, and in particular to a method for optimizing the distance between double-layer magnetic shielding structures in a fiber-optic gyroscope. BACKGROUND

[0002] A fiber-optic gyroscope is a full solid-state photoelectric inertial instrument, which is widely used in inertial navigation systems due to its advantages of no moving parts, low cost, impact resistance, high sensitivity, long service life, large dynamic range, short start-up time, and wide precision coverage.

[0003] The working principle of a fiber-optic gyroscope is to detect the rotation angular velocity by using the Sagnac effect, and the detection of the Sagnac effect is based on the fact that the interference phase between two counter-propagating light waves in a fiber ring is completely caused by rotation. However, a fiber-optic gyroscope is easily affected by a magnetic field, resulting in a non-reciprocal phase difference, which affects the measurement accuracy of the fiber-optic gyroscope. In order to ensure the measurement accuracy of the fiber-optic gyroscope, the fiber ring usually needs to be subjected to magnetic shielding treatment.

[0004] When the fiber ring is subjected to magnetic shielding treatment, a single-layer or multi-layer magnetic shielding material is usually used to shield the fiber ring to reduce the influence of the external magnetic field.

[0005] Among them, a single-layer magnetic shielding structure can generally reduce the interference of the magnetic field to a certain extent, but in a complex or high-intensity magnetic field environment, the shielding effect may be insufficient.

[0006] A double-layer magnetic shielding structure not only can compensate and weaken the magnetic leakage between layers, but also has flexibility in material selection, thickness, and structural arrangement. Moreover, the layer spacing of the double-layer magnetic shielding will affect the output of the fiber-optic gyroscope, and the size parameters of the inner diameter, outer diameter, width, thickness, and height of the fiber ring used by different fiber-optic gyroscopes, as well as the material properties of the fiber itself, will have different sensitivities to external magnetic fields. However, how to determine the optimal distance between the double-layer shielding structures is still a problem that needs to be solved in the related field. On the one hand, too small layer spacing may cause strong coupling effect between the shielding materials, resulting in waste of material resources or poor actual shielding effect; on the other hand, too large layer spacing not only may cause the increase of the volume and weight of the entire fiber-optic gyroscope, making the assembly difficult, but also may affect the mechanical strength and installation reliability of the overall structure.

[0007] In the prior art, the gap between the double-layer magnetic shielding shells is generally adjusted mainly according to the installation space of the fiber optic gyroscope. If the installation space is sufficient, the gap between the double-layer magnetic shielding shells is increased as much as possible to meet the magnetic interference resistance of the fiber optic gyroscope, but such a processing method will cause waste of production materials and increase the weight of the fiber optic gyroscope. If the installation space is limited, the gap between the double-layer magnetic shielding shells is reduced as much as possible to meet the installation requirements, but such a processing method will cause poor magnetic interference resistance and reduce the precision of the fiber optic gyroscope.

[0008] Therefore, under the requirements of the magnetic shielding material, the space arrangement and the assembly process, accurately and specifically determining the distance between the double-layer magnetic shielding shells has important engineering application value for improving the magnetic interference resistance of the fiber coil and improving the precision of the fiber optic gyroscope. SUMMARY

[0009] The purpose of the present application is to solve the technical problems that the existing double-layer magnetic shielding fiber optic gyroscope cannot accurately determine the gap between the double-layer magnetic shielding shells, which either causes waste of materials and increases the weight of the fiber optic gyroscope, or causes poor magnetic interference resistance and reduces the precision of the fiber optic gyroscope, and to provide a method for optimizing the distance between the double-layer magnetic shielding structures in a fiber optic gyroscope.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0065] Step 3, according to the average value of the optical fiber ring radial magnetic field strength B R and the average value of the optical fiber ring axial magnetic field strength B A obtained in step 2, the maximum output error of the optical fiber gyroscope in the radial magnetic field Ω R = 1.49 x 10 -5 ° / h and the maximum output error of the optical fiber gyroscope in the axial magnetic field Ω A = 3.16 x 10 -7 ° / h are calculated and obtained; the specific calculation method is as follows:

[0066] Step 3.1, according to the average value of the radial magnetic field strength of the fiber coil B obtained in step 2 R , the equivalent radius of the fiber coil and the average value of the radial magnetic field strength of the fiber coil B R Substitute the calculation formula to calculate and obtain the maximum output error of the fiber optic gyroscope in the radial magnetic field Ω R , the calculation formula is as follows:

[0080] D is the diameter of the optical fiber in the fiber ring, in units of pm.

[0083] The derivation process of formula (one) and formula (two) is as follows:

[0084] The basic principle of fiber-optic gyroscope is Sagnac effect, that is, the interference phase difference of two beams of light in the closed loop is used to sense the external angular rate, and the expression of the interference phase difference is as follows:

[0085]

[0086] Where, λ is the wavelength of the incident light of the fiber-optic gyroscope; c is the propagation speed of the incident light of the fiber-optic gyroscope; R is the equivalent radius of the fiber ring; L=N-2πR is the path length of the light wave propagating N turns in the fiber ring; Ω is the rotation angular rate.

[0087] The British scholar Michael Faraday first discovered and proposed the magneto-optical Faraday effect in experiments. When the light wave is transmitted in the optical fiber, if the optical fiber is in the magnetic field, the polarization plane of the light wave will rotate, as shown in Figure 7 .

[0088] The relationship formula of Faraday effect: the magnetic rotation angle θ of the polarization plane of the light wave is proportional to the path length L of the light wave in the fiber ring and the component B of the external magnetic field intensity in the direction of light propagation, that is: / /

[0089] θ=VB / / L (2)

[0090] Where, V is the Verdet constant, in units of (rad / m / mT).

[0091] The rotation of the polarization plane of the light wave means that the phase shift of the polarized light changes, thereby affecting the interference effect of the whole gyroscope, resulting in errors of the gyroscope.

[0092] Through the analysis of the polarization state change of the light wave in the fiber ring, it can be obtained that the phase difference Φ produced by the clockwise and counterclockwise light waves of the fiber ring after converging due to the influence of the magnetic field is:

[0093]

[0094] Where, z is the length of the differential fiber, in units of m; η + is the birefringence of the clockwise light wave fiber segment; η - ​ξ represents the birefringence of the fiber segment containing the counterclockwise light wave; Δβ represents the linear birefringence of the fiber itself, measured in rad / m; i Circular birefringence caused by the Faraday effect, unit: rad / m; t i represents the circular birefringence caused by fiber twisting, in rad / m; n represents the total number of i, the total number of infinitesimal elements.

[0095] The fiber optic ring is affected by a radially uniform magnetic field, such as Figure 8 As shown, B R Let N represent the intensity of the radial magnetic field, and let θ be the angle between it and the X-axis. Let z be the distance between any point A on the fiber optic ring and the starting point of the fiber optic ring. Let L be the total length of the fiber in the fiber optic ring, and let L = 2πNR, where N is the total number of turns of the fiber and R is the radius of the fiber optic ring.

[0096] For any point A on the fiber optic loop, the radial magnetic field B R At point A, the component of light propagating in the direction parallel to its path is B. R∥ The vertical component is B R⊥ According to the Faraday effect, the parallel component B of the radial magnetic field... R∥ This will induce the magneto-optical Faraday effect, causing magnetic field errors in the fiber optic gyroscope; while the radial magnetic field perpendicular component B R⊥ It will not cause the magneto-optical Faraday effect.

[0097] according to Figure 8 From the geometric relationships, the distribution of circular birefringence caused by the Faraday effect on the optical fiber is as follows:

[0098] ξ(z)=VB R / / =VB R sin(z / R+θ) (4)

[0099] Substituting equation (4) into equation (3) and simplifying, we can obtain the phase difference generated by the radial magnetic field affecting the fiber optic ring as follows:

[0100]

[0101] Where t(z) represents the distribution of circular birefringence caused by fiber twisting on the fiber, with units of rad / m.

[0102] Substituting equation (1) into equation (5), we can obtain the following angular velocity error caused by the radial magnetic field affecting the fiber optic ring:

[0103]

[0104] If the distribution of the fiber twist along the fiber length is uniform, i.e. t(z) is a constant, the integral part in equation (6) is zero, and the fiber ring angular velocity error is zero. If the distribution of the fiber twist along the fiber length is periodic and the period is the same as that of sin(z / R+θ), then There will be a maximum value, i.e. the angular velocity error of the fiber ring affected by the radial magnetic field is the largest.

[0105] When t(z) = t0sin(z / R), the maximum angular velocity error is:

[0106]

[0107] Convert the unit rad / s of (7) into ° / h, and the maximum output error of the fiber optic gyroscope Ω R is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] The fiber ring is affected by an axial uniform magnetic field as shown in Figure 9 , B A represents the strength of the axial magnetic field. Figure 9 The right side is a partial view of the fiber in the fiber ring at the splicing position. In the past research, the axial magnetic field error model of the fiber optic gyroscope is modeled with the spiral wound fiber, but with the development of the precise winding technology of the fiber optic gyroscope, the precise winding methods such as the eight-pole symmetric winding method and the sixteen-pole symmetric winding method are widely used in recent years. These precise symmetric winding methods adopt the parallel winding method, and only the bending at the fixed position of each fiber turn is performed to complete the splicing.

[0110] The angle between the fiber splicing bending part and the plane of the fiber ring is α, and for any point A on the fiber splicing bending part, the axial magnetic field B A has a component along the direction of light propagation parallel to B A / / , and a vertical component B A⊥ .

[0111] According to the geometric relationship in Figure 9 , the distribution of the circular birefringence caused by the Faraday effect on the fiber is:

[0112]

[0113] where p is the number of layers of the fiber ring; D(p) is a function of the number of layers of the fiber ring, representing the bending direction of the fiber splicing part on each layer, and the upward bending and downward bending are positive and negative respectively.

[0114] Substituting equation (8) into equation (3), the phase difference of the fiber ring affected by the axial magnetic field is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] where q is the number of turns of each layer of the fiber coil, and p·q=N, j represents the ordinal number of the turn-changing bending part of the fiber coil, L j and L j +s is the start and end positions of the turn-changing position in the fiber coil, and s is the length of the turn-changing part.

[0117] Substituting formula (1) into formula (9), the angular velocity error of the fiber coil caused by the axial magnetic field can be obtained as follows:

[0118]

[0119] If the fiber twist distribution in the fiber length direction is uniform, i.e., t(z) is a constant value. Because whether it is octupole, hexadecapole or other multipole winding, the total number of upward and downward layers of the fiber turn-changing part in the fiber coil is the same, the summation part in formula (25) is zero. If the fiber twist distribution t(z) in the fiber length direction is periodic distribution and the period is the same as that of D(p), formula (10) will have a maximum value, i.e., the angular velocity error of the fiber coil caused by the axial magnetic field is maximum.

[0120] When t(z)=t0D(p), the maximum angular velocity error is:

[0121]

[0122] Converting the unit rad / s of (11) into ° / h, the formula of the maximum output error Ω A of the fiber optic gyroscope is as follows:

[0123]
