Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mine line accessories, in particular to a fixing device for fixing a fiber grating sensor on the inner wall of a mine. Background Art

[0002] Grating fiber strain sensor is a fiber sensing technology based on grating technology, which can be used to measure the deformation and strain of materials. This sensor uses the interference principle of grating to convert optical signals into electrical signals, thereby realizing the monitoring of materials. Grating fiber strain sensor is usually composed of optical fiber, grating and reader. Among them, optical fiber is a material that transmits optical signals, and grating is an optical element with a periodic structure, which is used to convert optical signals into electrical signals. The reader is used to read the interference signal in the grating and convert it into an electrical signal. Grating fiber strain sensor can be applied to a variety of scenarios in mines, such as monitoring the deformation of the shaft wall, monitoring the displacement of the ore body, and monitoring the ground subsidence. These sensors can accurately measure various strains and provide important data support for the safe operation of the mine. In the mine, grating fiber strain sensor can be used in combination with other technologies such as video monitoring system and ground monitoring equipment to realize all-round monitoring of the mine. The data collected by these sensors can monitor the condition of the mine in real time, and timely discover potential safety risks, so as to avoid accidents. In addition, grating fiber strain sensor can also be used to monitor the ventilation of the mine to ensure the air quality of the mine. In mines, ventilation is very important because harmful gases and dust in mines can cause harm to workers. By using grating fiber strain sensors, wind speed and air quality in mines can be monitored to ensure good ventilation in mines. In short, grating fiber strain sensors are widely used in mines to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of mines.

[0003] Usually, if Figure 1 The fiber Bragg grating sensor used in the mine needs to be fixed to the inner wall of the mine when in use. The traditional operation method is that the operator directly sticks the bare fiber Bragg grating strain sensor on the wall of the coal mine with a high-strength adhesive, and then removes the bonding part after the use to reuse the sensor. In this traditional fixing method, the bonding quality of the adhesive will not only directly affect the data transmission of the bonding layer, but also the high-strength adhesive remaining on the surface of the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor after use will affect the function of the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor even if it is removed. There is a technical problem that the fixing strength of the fiber Bragg grating sensor and convenient reuse cannot be taken into account at the same time. Utility Model Content
