Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of temperature monitoring, and particularly relates to an optical fiber temperature sensing and monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] The optical fiber temperature sensor monitoring device uses the principle that the spectrum absorbed by some substances changes with temperature, analyzes the spectrum transmitted by the optical fiber to understand the real-time temperature. The main devices include a temperature-measuring optical fiber line, a temperature-sensing head sealed and fixed at the head of the temperature-measuring optical fiber, and an optical fiber temperature transmitter with a spectrum analysis unit and a calculation unit.

[0003] It contacts the object to be measured through the temperature-sensing head, conducts heat to the temperature-sensitive coating between the optical fibers in the temperature-measuring optical fiber line and then to the optical fiber. The optical fiber temperature transmitter makes the light energy input from one optical fiber and output from another optical fiber through the reflecting surface. Since this new temperature-sensitive material is affected by temperature, the spectrum analysis unit analyzes the refractive index change value, and the calculation unit calculates the temperature value through the functional relationship between the output optical power and temperature. The obtained temperature value has a small error.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an optical fiber temperature sensing monitoring device, including a loading rack 1 installed in a monitoring room, an optical fiber temperature measuring transmitter 2 installed on the loading rack 1, a temperature measuring optical fiber line 3 connected to the optical fiber signal connector of the optical fiber temperature measuring transmitter 2, and a temperature sensing head 4 sealed and fixed at one end of the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3, the temperature sensing head 4 is sleeved with a support sleeve 5, the support sleeve 5 is made of rubber-plastic sponge, and has good thermal insulation performance, the support sleeve 5 elastically supports the inner hole opened on the side of the rock, and the outer wall of the support sleeve 5 elastically presses on the inner wall of the inner hole to form lateral support protection for the temperature sensing head 4. The left temperature sensing surface of the temperature sensing head 4 is bonded with a temperature conductive gasket 6 by a temperature conductive adhesive, the material of the temperature conductive gasket 6 is a temperature conductive cotton, and the temperature conductive gasket 6 is pressed on the inner bottom of the inner hole. A support seal 7 is sleeved on the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3, and the support seal 7 is sealingly arranged on the outer edge of the inner hole, and a wire seal 8 is integrally arranged in the support seal 7, and the inner wall of the wire seal 8 slides in contact with the outer wall of the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3, and the support seal 7 and the wire seal 8 are made of heat-insulating plastic; a support clamping plate 9 is evenly and integrally arranged on the left side of the support seal 7 in an annular direction, and the support clamping plate 9 is elastically supported on the inner wall of the inner hole, and when the support clamping plate 9 is elastically supported on the inner wall of the inner hole, lateral support for the support seal 7 is achieved, and a wire sealing mechanism is arranged on the other side of the support seal 7, and the wire sealing mechanism is used to effectively seal the insertion and matching place of the support seal 7 and the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3;

[0025] Under such a setting, not only can the temperature sensing head 4 be supported in the inner hole, but also the inner hole port can be sealed and isolated, effectively reducing the influence of the external air temperature environment on the temperature sensing end of the temperature sensing head 4.

[0026] A side support mechanism is also fixedly provided on the side of the inner hole, and the side support mechanism is used to laterally support the sealing sheet 7 and clamp and support the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3.

[0027] Under the action of the side support mechanism, when the temperature measuring optical fiber line is touched, the temperature sensing surface of the temperature sensing head 4 will not be driven out of contact with the inner bottom of the inner hole, and the support sealing piece 7 is achieved to stabilize the installation state of the support sealing piece 7.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A support sleeve 10 is integrally provided on the right side of the temperature sensing head 4, and a spring 11 is provided on the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3. The spring 11 is a compression rebound type, and the initial compression rebound force of the spring 11 is 20 Newtons. The two ends of the spring 11 are supported in the support sleeve 10 and on the wire seal 8 respectively.

[0029] When the temperature-measuring optical fiber line 3 is inserted into the inner hole, a certain margin is given to the temperature-measuring optical fiber line 3 in the inner hole, and this margin satisfies that when the temperature-sensing head 4 is in effective contact with the inner bottom of the inner hole, the temperature-measuring optical fiber line 3 is in a bent state in the inner hole. The selected length of the spring 11 lies in that when the support splint 9 is completely driven into the inner hole, the spring 11 is in a compressed state. Under such a setting, when there are vibrations generated by mining in the underground rock mining roadway, through the elastic support of the spring 11, the temperature-sensing head 4 is kept in contact with the inner bottom of the inner hole.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3 , the support splint 9 is of an arc-shaped plate structure, and anti-slip protrusions 901 are uniformly arranged on the support splint 9.

[0031] When the four support splints 9 are driven into the inner hole, with the setting of the anti-slip protrusions 901, the cooperation resistance between the support splint 9 and the inner wall of the inner hole is increased, making the stability under the support of the support splint 9 higher.

[0032] Refer to Figure 2 , a slot is provided on the support sealing piece 7. The slot is an annular groove, and a sealing ring 12 is arranged in the slot. The sealing ring 12 is a sticky rubber ring, and the sealing ring 12 is attached to the edge of the inner hole. It is worth mentioning that before installing this monitoring device on the outer edge of the inner hole, a hand-held grinding machine can be used to grind it flat, and the rock debris in the inner hole can be cleaned out.

[0033] When the support splint 9 is driven into the inner hole, the support sealing piece 7 effectively presses the sealing ring 12 on the edge of the inner hole, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the cooperation between the support sealing ring 7 and the edge of the inner hole and preventing external air from entering the inner hole through the cooperation part between the support sealing piece 7 and the edge of the inner hole.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the wire sealing mechanism includes a storage tube 16 integrally arranged on the right side of the support sealing piece 7. A sealing filling layer 17 is loaded into the storage tube 16. The sealing filling layer 17 is compacted by nano-scale polystyrene powder and has good heat preservation performance and sealing performance. A top sealing cover 14 is threadedly locked at the right end of the storage tube 16. The top sealing cover 14 slidably sleeved on the temperature-measuring optical fiber line 3. A pressing convex ring 15 is integrally arranged in the top sealing cover 14 and the pressing convex ring 15 presses tightly in the sealing filling layer 17. A soft sealing ring is bonded to the inner bottom of the top sealing cover 14. The material of the soft sealing ring is neoprene, and the soft sealing ring presses tightly at the end of the storage tube 16.

[0035] It is locked on the storage tube 16 through the top cover 14, so that the embossed ring 15 is pressed tightly in the sealing filler layer 17, thereby making the sealing filler layer 17 effectively compact the plugging area of the line seal 8 and the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3, the plugging area of the top cover 14 and the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3, and the matching area of the top cover 14 and the storage tube 16, effectively ensuring the heat preservation of the sealing performance of the temperature measurement optical fiber line and the support sealing piece 7. In addition, under the tight wrapping of the sealing filler layer 17, the anti-touch stability of the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3 at the inner hole is also improved.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the side support mechanism includes an expansion bolt 18 installed in the mounting hole on the rock and near the inner hole. A screw rod part of the expansion bolt 18 is screwed with an outer support frame 19. A wire support clip 21 is arranged at the bottom of the outer support frame 19. The number of the wire support clips 21 is two. A connecting plate 20 is welded to the bottom of the outer support frame 19. The connecting plate 20 is integrally provided with one wire support clip 21. An inner pressure ring layer 22 is adhered to the inner wall of the inner ring of the wire support clip 21. The inner pressure ring layer 22 is a semi-circular ring structure. The material of the inner pressure ring layer 22 is chloroprene rubber. The wire support clips 21 are fixed to each other by screws 23.

[0037] When the screw 23 is locked on the two wire support clips 21, the inner pressure ring layer 22 is pressed tightly on the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3 to realize the steady holding of the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3. In addition, by supporting the right end of the top cover 14 through the wire support clip 21, the lateral support of the support sealing piece 7 is further provided. When there is vibration generated by mining in the underground rock mining roadway, the support sealing piece 7 can be more stably attached to the outer edge area of the inner hole.

[0038] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a connecting rod 24 is welded to the right side of the outer support frame 19. A panel 25 is integrally arranged at the right end of the connecting rod 24. An RFID tag is used to be attached to the panel 25. A transparent cover 26 is also fixed to the panel 25 by screws and the RFID tag is covered by the transparent cover 26. The material of the transparent cover 26 is polyethylene plastic. With such a setting, it can be used to check whether the RFID tag has been attached to the panel 25, and under the isolation of the transparent cover 26, the integrity of the RFID tag in a complex environment is protected.

[0039] The RFID reader encodes numbers and position information for each RFID tag. Therefore, when the temperature sensing head 4 and the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3 are installed in different areas of the inner wall of the underground rock roadway, by identifying each RFID tag through the RFID tag reader, it is convenient to find the specific positions of the temperature sensing head 4 and the temperature measurement optical fiber line 3.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the elastic support of the supporting splint 9 is on the inner wall of the inner hole, it realizes the lateral support for the supporting sealing piece 7. In addition, it is supported by the side support mechanism at the right end of the top cover 14 to further support the lateral support of the sealing piece 7. When there is vibration generated by mining in the underground rock mining roadway, the supporting sealing piece 7 can be more stably attached to the outer edge area of the inner hole. When there is vibration generated by mining in the underground rock mining roadway, through the elastic support of the spring 11, the temperature sensing head 4 is kept in contact with the inner bottom of the inner hole; and under the steady holding of the side support mechanism on the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3, on the one hand, it can avoid the temperature sensing head 4 being separated from the contact with the inner bottom of the inner hole due to touching the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3 in the inner hole area. With the setting of the online sealing mechanism, the intersection of the supporting sealing piece 7 and the temperature measuring optical fiber line 3 is effectively sealed, blocking the contact between the inner hole and the air environment in the roadway, improving the sealing isolation at the inner hole port, and reducing the influence on the temperature measuring effectiveness.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
