TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a self-decoupling method for multi-feature spectrum inversion and a band-type fiber grating sensing cable. BACKGROUND
[0002] Optical fiber grating sensors are widely used in structural health monitoring due to their advantages such as electromagnetic interference resistance and small size. In actual engineering, temperature and strain often exist simultaneously and are coupled with each other, and it is necessary to accurately separate the independent changes of the two. For example, the interference signal caused by temperature needs to be excluded for structural strain evaluation, and the interference signal of mechanical strain also needs to be avoided for temperature measurement. The traditional single FBG sensor only responds to environmental changes through a single wavelength shift, and cannot distinguish between temperature and strain effects, so it is usually necessary to additionally set up a separate temperature compensation unit, which increases the complexity of the system and makes it difficult to ensure the spatial consistency of the temperature / strain measurement points.
[0003] A multi-physical field strain sensing signal decoupling calibration method is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN117109465B, which establishes a characteristic response model between the measured pressure, temperature, strain and fiber grating sensor wavelength under the influence of multiple physical parameters by jointly arranging multiple sensors on a substrate, realizing fast response, high sensitivity and decoupling calibration of multiple physical parameters of fiber grating. According to the measured physical quantity, the influence of temperature, pressure or strain on the relationship model is considered respectively, and corresponding strain correction parameters, temperature correction parameters and pressure correction parameters are introduced, which improves the measurement and decoupling accuracy of the sensor. However, the above-mentioned scheme only relies on the multi-parameter decoupling of wavelength characteristics, which is prone to underdetermination or ill-conditioning when noise and drift exist, and the robustness is insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a self-decoupling method for multi-feature spectrum inversion and a band-type fiber grating sensing cable to improve the decoupling accuracy and stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] The present application discloses a method for predicting the excitation of a valve train of an internal combustion engine based on digital twinning, referring to Figure 1 The steps of the method include S1-S4.
[0021] In step S1, the grating reflection spectrum of the banded fiber grating sensing cable and the calibration reference quantity are obtained, and the calibration reference quantity includes the initial center wavelength, the initial first-order left sidelobe intensity and the initial first-order right sidelobe intensity of the banded fiber grating sensing cable.
[0022] In this step, the banded fiber grating sensing cable is a plurality of side-by-side single-mode optical fibers. Considering that a general fiber grating demodulator generally includes 16 channels, the number of ordinary optical fibers can be any number between 2 and 16, and a plurality of sidelobe gratings are written on any single-mode optical fiber. The outer layer of the optical fiber can be wrapped by a colored layer, and the outermost layer is a cured UV glue. The design of the temperature-strain self-decoupling banded fiber grating sensing cable is realized through four steps of sidelobe grating writing, fiber banded cable production, temperature-strain characteristic calibration and test verification.
[0023] In step S2, the banded fiber grating sensing cable is placed in a preset characteristic calibration state, the corresponding reflection spectrum of the banded fiber grating sensing cable is collected, and the reflection spectrum is traversed through a main peak global extreme value search algorithm to obtain the center wavelength of the banded fiber grating sensing cable.
[0024] In this step, steps S21-S22 are further included.
[0025] In step S21, the banded fiber grating sensing cable is placed in a constant stress clamp, and the ambient temperature of the banded fiber grating sensing cable is controlled in stages. The ambient temperature of the banded fiber grating sensing cable is changed at a predetermined gradient while keeping the strain of the banded fiber grating sensing cable at zero, and the reflection spectrum of the banded fiber grating sensing cable is collected.
[0026] In this step, the fiber grating is placed in a constant stress clamp, and the environmental temperature is controlled by a high-precision temperature control device. In the state of keeping the strain as zero, the temperature condition is changed according to a predetermined gradient, and the reflected spectrum is collected in real time. After each temperature stage is stable, the spectrum data is recorded, and the mapping relationship data set of the temperature variable and the spectrum characteristics is established. In the constant stress clamp, the strain is kept as zero, and only the environmental temperature is changed, so that the functional relationship between the grating center wavelength drift and the temperature change can be identified alone, and the temperature sensitivity coefficient can be accurately obtained. Through the step-by-step control and the predetermined gradient change, the full range of the working temperature zone can be covered, the linearity, hysteresis and repeatability can be tested, and if necessary, a quadratic or segmented model can be fitted to improve the fitting accuracy of the full range. After the pure temperature response is obtained, the temperature compensation for the strain measurement can be performed in the subsequent calculation, the pseudo-strain caused by the temperature drift is reduced, the robustness of the temperature-strain decoupling is improved, the main peak form of the grating reflection spectrum is more stable in the zero-strain state, the side lobe and spectrum width change can be quantified and modeled, which is beneficial to the optimization of the center wavelength extraction algorithm and the reduction of the measurement noise.
[0027] In step S22, the FBG sensing cable is fixed on the strain loading platform with constant temperature, and an axial strain load is applied to the FBG sensing cable. The strain value borne by the FBG sensing cable is changed in a preset step, and the reflected spectrum of the FBG sensing cable is collected.
[0028] In this step, the fiber grating is fixed on the strain loading platform with constant temperature, and an axial strain load is applied by a precision mechanical device. The strain value is changed in a preset step, and the reflected spectrum is collected after the system is stable. This process constructs a corresponding relationship data set of the strain variable and the spectrum characteristics. On the constant temperature platform, the axial strain is loaded in a preset step, a quantitative relationship between the center wavelength drift and the strain is established, the strain sensitivity coefficient is accurately obtained, and through the step-by-step loading / unloading curve, the linearity zone, hysteresis characteristics and time-related effects of the strain response are evaluated to provide parameters for historical compensation and filtering in the sensing algorithm. Under the stress condition, the reflection spectrum may be broadened, tilted or multi-peak. The calibration can establish the correlation characteristics of the spectrum shape and the strain to improve the calculation stability under the conditions of noise, micro-bending or multi-mode coupling. The different grating regions in the FBG sensing cable are loaded and calibrated respectively to compensate for the inconsistent responses caused by manufacturing differences and uneven bonding, and the measurement consistency of the whole link is improved.
[0029] Further, the reflected spectrum S t ( λ ) is the change of the light signal intensity with the light wavelength. The center wavelength and the side lobe intensity can be obtained by the following methods: performing a global extremum search to determine the center wavelength λ B,t, the peak value position of the reflection spectrum is determined by a global extreme value search algorithm, and the wavelength value corresponding to the point is the center wavelength. In the implementation process, an adaptive threshold is used to identify the main lobe range, and the sidelobe interference step is excluded.
[0030] S3, in the symmetric wavelength window on both sides of the center wavelength, the first order left sidelobe intensity and the first order right sidelobe intensity are extracted by using the peak value detection algorithm, and the wavelength reference variation, the left sidelobe reference variation and the right sidelobe reference variation corresponding to the center wavelength, the first order left sidelobe intensity and the first order right sidelobe intensity are calculated according to the calibration reference quantity.
[0031] In this step, according to the wavelength offset reference of initial calibration, the peak value detection algorithm is carried out in the symmetric region on both sides of the center wavelength, the first order left sidelobe intensity is extracted in the first predefined wavelength interval based on the peak value detection algorithm, and the first order right sidelobe intensity is extracted in the second predefined wavelength interval based on the peak value detection algorithm, and the range of the first predefined wavelength interval is less than the range of the second predefined wavelength interval.
[0032] In one example, according to the wavelength offset reference of initial calibration, local extreme value detection is carried out in the symmetric region on both sides of the center wavelength, the left sidelobe intensity is extracted in the predefined wavelength interval λ B,t - a, λ B,t - b ] based on the peak value detection algorithm I L,t , the right sidelobe intensity is extracted in the predefined wavelength interval λ B,t + a, λ B,t + b ] based on the peak value detection algorithm I R,t , the extraction process uses the peak value detection algorithm, and a dynamic threshold is set to exclude false peak interference.
[0033] Step S4, according to the wavelength reference variation, the left sidelobe reference variation and the right sidelobe reference variation, a response characteristic calibration model is constructed to solve the temperature variation and strain variation of the FBG sensing cable.
[0034] In this step, steps S41-S43 are also included.
[0035] Step S41, based on the wavelength reference variation, the temperature sensitivity coefficient and the strain sensitivity coefficient, a center wavelength linear representation function is constructed.
[0036] In this step, a center wavelength linear representation model is established, that is, a quantitative relationship between the center wavelength offset and the physical quantity change is established: Δ λB = α· Δ T + β· Δ ε wherein, α denotes the temperature sensitivity coefficient, β denotes the strain sensitivity coefficient, both of which are scalar constants. The center wavelength linear representation model follows the linear superposition principle and represents the coupling effect of the two physical quantities on the center wavelength.
[0037] In step S42, a sidelobe intensity response function is constructed based on the left sidelobe reference change amount and the right sidelobe reference change amount.
[0038] In this step, a sidelobe intensity response function model is established, that is, a nonlinear response function of the bilateral sidelobe intensity is constructed:
[0039] wherein, f L denotes a left sidelobe intensity continuous function with temperature and strain as independent variables, f R denotes a right sidelobe intensity continuous function with temperature and strain as independent variables, both of which represent the nonlinear response characteristics of the sidelobe intensity to the combined environmental changes.
[0040] In step S43, a sidelobe intensity response function is constructed based on the left sidelobe reference change amount and the right sidelobe reference change amount.
[0041] In this embodiment, the center wavelength change and the left and right sidelobe intensity changes are jointly included in the model to form a dual-feature constraint of frequency domain plus amplitude, which can significantly reduce the deviation of a single parameter caused by noise, spectral peak jitter or local fitting error. The center wavelength linear representation function is used to depict the dominant linear response of temperature and strain, and the sidelobe intensity response function is used to compensate the nonlinear effect of the spectral shape, thereby improving the overall accuracy and robustness. The sidelobe intensity feature is more sensitive to changes in spectral energy distribution, and can be introduced as an indicator of zero-point drift and coupled state change, which, together with the initial reference quantity, forms a self-checking constraint to reduce the impact of long-term environmental drift on the results. The linear response of the center wavelength to temperature and strain provides the main solution, and the left and right sidelobes are sensitive to non-uniform stress fields and bending. Joint modeling of the two can distinguish between center drift caused by uniform load and spectral shape changes caused by non-uniform load, thereby improving the temperature / strain decoupling accuracy. The differential characteristics of the left and right sidelobes can sensitively reflect abnormal working conditions such as eccentric stress, local bonding mismatch, and bending radius change, providing online health monitoring and data credibility rating capabilities. When the center peak is affected by noise, shielding or multi-peak, the sidelobe intensity response function can provide alternative or correction information to reduce the risk of single-point failure.
[0042] Further, in the calibration experiment, the change value Δ T of the strain ε jointly affects the change value Δ λ of the center wavelength B and the side lobe intensity Δ I L , Δ I R , the corresponding response calibration data sets are formed by using the test data of each group of experiments.
[0043] The center wavelength coefficient calibration is based on the temperature response calibration data set {Δ T i , Δ λ B,i} and the strain response calibration data set {Δ ε j , Δ λ B,j}, and the temperature sensitivity coefficient and the strain sensitivity coefficient are solved by multivariate least squares method:
[0044] wherein, X represents a design matrix, X T represents the transpose of the design matrix, Y represents an observation vector, Y = Δ λ B .
[0045] The side lobe response calibration is based on the temperature-strain joint calibration data set {Δ T k , Δ ε k , Δ I L,k , Δ I R,k} and is constructed by the following steps: The temperature and strain of the calibration data are combined to define a two-dimensional independent variable space coordinate point P k = (Δ T k , Δ ε k ); based on P k and the side lobe intensity change value Δ I L,k and Δ I R,kThe scattered data points set is constructed; the triangular interpolation algorithm is used to generate continuous surface in two-dimensional space; and the response value prediction of any coordinate point is realized through segmented polynomial function.
[0046] In one example, the current reflection spectrum of the grating in the optical cable is acquired by the optical fiber demodulator S t ( λ ), and the initial moment λ B,0 、 I L,0 and I R,0 are recorded in the manner mentioned above λ B,t 、 I L,t and I R,t are read in real time at the subsequent moment t. The characteristic change amount is calculated relative to the initial reference state as follows: Δ λ B = λ B,t - λ B,0 Δ I L = I L,t - I L,0 Δ I R = I R,t - I R,0 A constraint system containing three equations is established, the central wavelength constraint is a linearly coupled equation, and the expression is as follows: Δ λ B = α· Δ T + β· Δ ε The left side lobe response constraint is a nonlinear equation, and the expression is as follows:
[0047] Wherein, f L ( ) represents the binary interpolation function calibrated and constructed.
[0048] The right side lobe response constraint is a nonlinear equation, and the expression is as follows:
[0049] in, f R ( ) represents the binary interpolation function constructed by calibration.
[0050] Construct a residual function and define a vector-valued function F(x) to characterize the deviation of the equation:
[0051] The parameter optimization solution framework includes initial estimation settings, iterative solution mechanisms, and convergence criteria. The initial estimation setup includes setting the vector of parameters to be solved. initial value x (0) ; The iterative solution mechanism package employs a numerical optimization method based on the derivative of the objective function, approximating the optimal solution through an iterative update strategy:
[0052] in, Φ Indicates the optimization operator, H represents the gradient of the objective function, and H represents the Hessian matrix or its approximation. The convergence criteria include terminating the iterative process when any of the following sets of conditions are met: Condition group I: ; Condition group II: ; Condition group III: ; in, δ 1 indicates the first preset precision threshold. δ 2 indicates the second preset precision threshold. δ 3 indicates the third preset precision threshold.
[0053] The derivative information construction mechanism includes selectively constructing the following mathematical features based on the type of optimization method: Gradient vector: objective function The first derivative; Curvature information: including but not limited to: Jacobian matrix Hessian matrix and quasi-Newton approximation matrix B k .
[0054] The parameter update rule implements parameter updates through a numerical optimization algorithm, and its general form is expressed as:
[0055] Wherein, Γ represents an update operator defined by an optimization algorithm, and represents a parameter space update operation.
[0056] When the convergence condition is met, the temperature change amount is Δ T out =x 1, the strain change amount is Δ ε out =x 2.
[0057] The decoupling accuracy depends on the stabilization effect of the sideband structure on the side lobe signal. If a single fiber is independently packaged, the side lobe intensity is easily affected by micro-bending disturbance, resulting in deviation of the decoupling result from the true value.
[0058] In this embodiment, by utilizing the different sensitivities of the center wavelength and left and right side lobes to different physical quantities, a multi-feature response model is constructed to suppress cross-sensitivity under single feature and improve the distinguishability and separability of temperature and strain. Compared with the method of using only the Bragg wavelength, the condition number is more optimal and the inversion is more stable, significantly reducing the decoupling error and drift. The main peak global extreme value search is adopted to avoid local extreme value misjudgment and enhance the stability of main peak tracking under noise, spectral distortion and side mode interference. The symmetric window is set on both sides of the center wavelength and the peak value is detected to effectively suppress the influence of spectral asymmetry, spectral bottom fluctuation and optical path disturbance on side lobe extraction. At the same time, based on the feature construction and solution of the reference change amount, the error accumulation caused by common mode intensity drift such as light source power fluctuation and insertion loss change is weakened. The response characteristic calibration model is established by calibrating the reference quantity, which can compensate for individual differences and ensure long-term online monitoring stability. The main peak search and side lobe extraction algorithm has low computational complexity and is easy to realize in real time in edge devices, meeting the dynamic working condition monitoring and being suitable for multi-point / multi-channel application scenarios of the sideband type fiber grating sensing optical cable. It has better tolerance and migratability to spectral shape changes.
[0059] In one example, a side lobe grating is written on a fiber according to the side lobe grating writing requirement, and the spectrum of the written side lobe is read by a spectrometer. The result is shown in Figure 2 . Wherein, 1 is the reflection center peak, 2 is the first left side lobe, and 3 is the first right side lobe. The fiber with the written side lobe grating and the remaining 15 ordinary fibers are completed according to the production process of the fiber ribbon cable to complete the production of the fiber sideband. The result is shown in Figure 3 . Figure 3 , wherein 4 is a single mode fiber, and 5 is a fixed mold.
[0060] The calibration test is completed on the built platform. In the case of ensuring that the strain is 0, the temperature is set from 30℃ to 100℃ with a gradient of every 5℃, a total of 15 groups of tests. In the case of ensuring that the temperature is 30°, the strain is set from 0 to 1000με with a gradient of every 50με, a total of 21 groups of tests. The initial reference state is: λ 0 = 1558.748 nm; I L,0 = -44.871 dBm; I R,0 = -49.419 dBm.
[0061] The relationship between the center wavelength and temperature and strain was studied using the read spectrum data, and the response curve was obtained, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 The wavelength temperature response formula is: Δ λ B = 0.010 x Δ T The wavelength strain response formula is: Δ λ B = 0.00118 x Δ ε The relationship between the reflection intensity of the two side lobes and temperature and strain was studied using the read spectrum data, and the response curve was obtained, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 The wavelength temperature response formula is:
[0062] The wavelength temperature response formula is:
[0063] T = 70℃, and ε= 200 when the micro-strain is measured: λ B,t = 1559.385 nm; I L,t = -47.643 dBm; I R,t = -47.903 dBm.
[0064] The relative change amount was calculated: Δ λ B = λ B,t - λ B,0 = 0.637 nm Δ I L = I L,t - I L,0 = -2.772 dBm Δ IR = I R,t - I R,0 =1.516dBm The decoupling equation set is constructed by using the relative variation amount and the response of the center wavelength and the sidelobe intensity.
[0065] The center wavelength constraint is 0.010 x Δ T+ 0.00118 x Δ ε= 0.637.
[0066] The left sidelobe constraint is:
[0067] The right sidelobe constraint is:
[0068] The residual function is further constructed,
[0069] and the initial guess is set: Δ T 0 = 0℃, Δ ε 0 = 0 με .
[0070] The Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) optimization algorithm is adopted, and the parameter update rule is:
[0071] wherein, λ k is an adaptive damping parameter, λ 0=0.001 When the residual decreases, the adjustment strategy is: λ k+1 =0.5 λ k , and the Gauss-Newton characteristic is enhanced; when the residual increases, λ k+1 =2 λ k , the gradient descent characteristic is enhanced.
[0072] The convergence criterion is: the parameter variation amount threshold is =0.0001, the residual norm threshold is =0.001, and the maximum iteration number is k max = 50.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 6 ,Figure 6 The response relationship of the side lobe intensity of the fiber Bragg grating to the temperature change under the condition of zero strain (ε = 0) is shown. The right side lobe tends to gradually increase in intensity from about -49 dBm to about -47 dBm as the temperature rises. The left side lobe tends to gradually decrease in intensity from about -45.5 dBm to about -49 dBm as the temperature rises. The left and right side lobe intensities have significant and opposite linear response characteristics to temperature, which can be used for temperature-sensitive spectral feature extraction and model decoupling.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 The response relationship of the left and right side lobe intensities of the fiber Bragg grating to the axial strain change under the condition of constant temperature T = 30℃ is shown. Under the same constant temperature, the right side lobe intensity increases with the increase of strain, and the left side lobe intensity decreases with the increase of strain. Both of the two fitting curves show a slight quadratic effect. The right side lobe intensity is in the range of -46 to -42 dBm, and the left side lobe intensity is in the range of -52 to -48 dBm, which are clearly separated in value. The responses of the left and right side lobes to strain have significant and opposite trends, which can be combined with the linear response of the center wavelength for strain identification and temperature decoupling. In a larger strain range, the quadratic or segmented model can improve the calculation accuracy and robustness better than the simple linear model.

The geometric size and resin distribution uniformity of the ribbon-type fiber grating sensing optical cable are controlled through a precision eye mold.

[0092] Fiber precise positioning and secondary static elimination: Make the electrostatic eliminated fiber bundle pass through the branching positioning device to realize the parallel and uniform arrangement and spacing control of each fiber. Then, perform the second electrostatic elimination treatment to ensure the arrangement is flat and stable for subsequent bonding.
[0093] Bonding resin coating and molding control: Uniformly coat the UV cured bonding resin on the arranged fiber bundle, and use the coating system containing precise eye mold to control the fiber ribbon geometric size and resin layer distribution uniformity.
[0094] Cable curing and atmosphere control: Make the resin coated fiber bundle enter the UV curing system to realize complete resin curing under specific wavelength ultraviolet light and inert atmosphere, forming a predetermined core number ribbon structure; the pulling speed and curing conditions are matched, and the tension is controlled according to the core number.
[0095] Cured ribbon cable transportation and permanent marking: Transport the cured fiber ribbon through the transmission device to maintain the structural integrity, and apply permanent marking containing model, specification or batch information on its surface to realize product traceability.
[0096] Tension optimization and finished product winding: Optimize the winding process through dynamic tension adjusting device, and finally wind the formed fiber ribbon neatly into a reel. The whole process is coordinated and controlled by automatic system to ensure quality consistency.
