Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber loops, and particularly relates to a zero-bias test device for an optical fiber loop. Background Art

[0002] With the development and progress of the large-scale application of fiber optic gyroscopes, the improvement of the comprehensive performance of fiber optic gyroscopes has become an important research focus. Among them, the stability of the optical fiber loop has become one of the important research focuses.

[0003] The stability of a fiber optic gyroscope, that is, in a normal temperature or certain fixed-point temperature environment, the fiber optic gyroscope has good zero-bias stability. Existing research shows that the zero-bias stability of a fiber optic gyroscope is most affected by the stability of optical components, especially the optical fiber loop. Therefore, it is necessary to test the zero-bias stability performance of the optical fiber loop at different temperatures before packaging the optical fiber loop.

[0004] The existing zero-bias test device for an optical fiber loop generally includes an independent temperature control box and a support frame. One end of the support frame is placed on the ground and the other end is located inside the temperature control box to support the optical fiber loop. Generally, an opening for the support frame to pass through needs to be opened at the bottom of the temperature control box. In order to avoid the rapid loss of heat inside the temperature control box, a sealing member is generally used to block the opening, but this method still cannot avoid the rapid loss of heat inside the temperature control box, resulting in the accuracy of the zero-bias test of the optical fiber loop. Content of the Utility Model

[0029] The following is a non-limiting and detailed description of the technical solution of the utility model in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and their accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0030] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a fiber optic loop zero-bias test device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a temperature control box 1, a support frame 2, a foundation 3, a gyro system circuit board 4, and a host computer 5. The temperature control box 1 is placed on the ground 6 and the temperature control box 1 has a cavity 10. One end of the support frame 2 is located inside the cavity 10 of the temperature control box 1, and the other end passes through the temperature control box 1 and is fixedly connected to the foundation 3. The foundation 3 is arranged on the ground surface 60, at least part of the foundation 3 is located below the ground 6 and there is a gap 9 between the foundation 3 and the ground 6. The fiber optic loop includes a fiber optic loop body 7 and a pigtail 70 connected to the fiber optic loop body 7. The fiber optic loop body 7 is placed on the support frame 2 and is located inside the cavity 10. The pigtail 70 is connected to the gyro system circuit board 4, and the gyro system circuit board and the host computer 5 are connected. By forming a gap 9 between the foundation 3 and the ground 6, it is avoided that the vibration generated by the vibration source on the ground 6 is transmitted to the fiber optic loop body 7 on the support frame 2 through the ground 6, thereby affecting the accuracy of the fiber optic loop zero-bias performance test.

[0031] The foundation 3 is integrally formed of cement, and the foundation 3 is composed of a plurality of stepped square steps, and the transverse areas of the plurality of square steps gradually decrease from bottom to top along the axial direction of the foundation 3. The stepped design of the foundation 3 can improve the vibration isolation effect and has good stability.

[0032] The bottom of the support frame 2 is built in the foundation 3 made of cement.

[0033] The plurality of square steps sequentially include a first square step 30, a second square step 31, a third square step 32, and a fourth square step 33 from bottom to top. Both the first square step 30 and the second square step 31 are located below the ground 6. The third square step 32 passes through the ground 6, and there is a gap 9 between the third square step 32 and the ground 6. The fourth square step 33 is located above the ground 6 and is fixedly connected to the support frame 2. The number of square steps can be selected according to requirements, and the specific number is not less than three.

[0034] The thicknesses of the first square step 30, the second square step 31, and the third square step 32 gradually increase.

[0035] The distance d between the foundation 3 and the ground 6 is 50 mm to 200 mm.

[0036] The distance d between the foundation 3 and the ground 6 gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0037] Coarse sand 90 is filled in the gap 9 and near the position below the ground 6 to prevent underground moisture from reaching above the ground 6 through the gap 9. The coarse sand 90 can effectively absorb underground moisture and, compared with fine sand, the coarse sand 90 has a poor vibration transmission effect, preventing the vibration of the ground 6 from being transmitted to the foundation 3 through the coarse sand 90.

[0038] An opening 11 for the support frame 2 to pass through is provided at the bottom of the temperature control box 1, and a sealing member 8 is arranged at the opening 11. The sealing member 8 is used to seal the opening 11.

[0039] As Figure 7 shown, a heat insulation cotton 80 is arranged inside the plugging member 8. Specifically, the plugging member 8 includes a base 81 and a cover 82. The base 81 is provided with a receiving groove 810. The heat insulation cotton 80 is filled in the receiving groove 810. The cover 82 is used to plug the opening of the receiving groove 810. It should be noted that other heat insulation materials can also be filled in the receiving groove 810. The plugging member 8 is arranged to be detachable for facilitating the replacement of different heat insulation materials.

[0040] A boss 83 protrudes from the inner peripheral wall forming the receiving groove 810. The cover 82 is detachably connected to the boss 83. Specifically, the cover 82 is fixed on the boss 83 by screws.

[0041] The support frame 2 includes a plurality of support rods 20 passing through the through holes 11 and a support plate 21 arranged inside the temperature control box 1. The support plate 21 is fixed at the end of the support rods 20 for placing the optical fiber ring body 7. A plurality of through holes 811 for the support rods 20 to pass through are formed on the base 81.

[0042] As Figure 8 shown, an extension edge 812 is further formed on the base 81. The extension edge 812 is attached to the bottom wall 100 forming the cavity 10, and the through holes 811 are formed on the extension edge 812. The base 81 is supported by the bottom wall 100, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the plugging member 8.

[0043] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
