Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a stress-detectable tie rod connector for connecting to a tie rod 60. The aforementioned stress-detectable tie rod connector includes a tie rod connector 10, a first strain gauge 20, a second strain gauge 30, and a fiber Bragg grating 50. The tie rod connector 10 has a groove 11, and the bottom surface of the inner side of the groove 11 has a through hole penetrating the tie rod connector 10. The first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are respectively fixed to both ends of the inner side of the groove 11, specifically, the far ends of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are fixed to the inner side of the groove 11, forming a gap 40 between the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30. The fiber Bragg grating 50 is fixed to the upper end face of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30, and both ends of the fiber Bragg grating 50 extend out of the tie rod connector 10 through the through hole. The fiber Bragg grating 50 includes a detection section 51, which is disposed within the gap 40 between the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30.

[0027] At work, such as Figure 1 As shown, the leads at both ends of the fiber optic grating 50 pass through the pull rod connector 10 and connect to the detection equipment. The pull rod connector 10 is connected to the pull rod 60. When the pull rod connector 10 is subjected to stress changes, the fiber optic grating 50 will be subjected to corresponding stress changes, which will lead to a change in the peak wavelength of the reflected light from the detection section 51 of the fiber optic grating 50. The detection equipment detects the amount of wavelength change to obtain the stress condition and performs stress detection on the pull rod 60 to monitor the safety of its use. The above-mentioned stress detection structure has low installation difficulty and ensures the accuracy of stress data detection. In addition, the far ends of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are fixed to the pull rod connector 10, leaving a sufficient gap 40 between the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30, increasing the tensile amount of the detection section 51 and reducing the problem of large detection data errors due to insufficient tensile amount.

[0028] Please see Figure 2The pull rod joint 10 comprises a connecting head 13, and an inner thread 131 is arranged on the inner side of the connecting head 13. An outer thread 61 corresponding to the outer wall of the pull rod 60 is arranged on the outer side of the connecting head 13. The outer thread 61 is engaged with the inner thread 131, so that the pull rod 60 is connected with the pull rod joint 10. In addition, the pull rod joint 10 further comprises a connecting hole 14 for connecting the building structure. The groove 11 is arranged along the length direction of the pull rod joint 10. The inner side of the groove 11 comprises a first welding surface 111 and a second welding surface 112 which are oppositely arranged along the length direction of the pull rod joint 10. The first strain gauge 20 is fixedly connected with the first welding surface 111 through welding, and the second strain gauge 30 is fixedly connected with the second welding surface 112 through welding. It should be noted that the connection mode of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 with the pull rod joint 10 is not limited to welding, and the connection performance is ensured. In the embodiment, the number of perforations in the bottom surface of the groove 11 is two, which are a first perforation 121 and a second perforation 122, so that the two end pins of the fiber Bragg grating 50 can be drawn out. It should be noted that the number of perforations is only required to be at least one, and is not limited to two, and the fiber Bragg grating 50 is ensured to be drawn out.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are both cuboids. The shapes of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 can also be adjusted according to the shape of the groove 11, and are not limited to rectangles. Meanwhile, the upper end surface of the first strain gauge 20 is provided with a first wiring groove 21 extending along the length direction of the pull rod joint 10. The upper end surface of the second strain gauge 30 is provided with a second wiring groove 31 extending along the length direction of the pull rod joint 10. The first strain gauge 20 is further provided with a first wire outlet hole 22 in communication with the first wiring groove 21. The second strain gauge 30 is further provided with a second wire outlet hole 32 in communication with the second wiring groove 31. The fiber Bragg grating 50 is fixed in the first wiring groove 21 and the second wiring groove 31, and the two end pins are drawn out from the first wire outlet hole 22 and the second wire outlet hole 32 respectively. The first wire outlet hole 22 is coaxially arranged with the first perforation 121, and the second wire outlet hole 32 is coaxially arranged with the second perforation 122, so as to facilitate the drawing of the fiber Bragg grating 50. In the embodiment, the first wiring groove 21 and the second wiring groove 31 both extend along the length direction of the pull rod joint 10, so that the fiber Bragg grating 50 is arranged along the axial direction of the pull rod 60, so as to facilitate the acquisition of the tensile stress of the pull rod 60.

[0030] Specifically, the first wiring slot 21 and the second wiring slot 31 each include a connecting section 211, and an adhesive layer 23 is arranged in the connecting section 211; the fiber grating 50 includes a fiber core 52 and a coating layer 53 arranged in layers from inside to outside; the coating layer 53 is provided with a notch 531 so that the fiber core 52 on the inside is exposed; the part of the fiber grating 50 provided with the notch 531 is arranged in the connecting section 211, so that the fiber core 52 is directly connected with the adhesive layer 23. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 23 is a glue layer; when the fiber grating 50 is fixed, the fiber grating 50 located in the connecting section 211 needs to remove the coating layer 53 on the surface to form the notch 531 and expose the fiber core 52, and then glue is injected in the connecting section 211, so that the adhesive layer 23 (i.e. the glue layer) is bonded with the fiber core 52, thereby improving the bonding strength of the fiber grating 50.

[0031] The assembling method of the stress-detectable pull rod joint is as follows: the fiber grating 50 is arranged in the wiring slot 21, and the two end pins of the fiber grating 50 are extended out through the wire outlet hole 22; the distal ends of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are welded to the two ends on the inside of the groove 11, so that the gap 40 between the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 is ensured; then the coating layer 53 on the surface of the fiber grating 50 located in the connecting section 211 is removed, and a glue layer is injected in the connecting section 211 to form the adhesive layer 23, so as to fix the fiber grating 50.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the stress-detectable pull rod joint comprises a pull rod joint 10, a first strain gauge 20, a second strain gauge 30 and a fiber grating 50; the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are respectively fixed to the two ends on the inside of the groove 11 of the pull rod joint 10; the fiber grating 50 is fixed in the wiring slot 21 on the upper end surface of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30; the two end leads of the fiber grating 50 pass through the pull rod joint 10, so as to be connected with a detection device to read stress data; the fiber grating 50 is used to detect stress, the advantages of high sensitivity and strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability of the fiber grating 50 are fully utilized, the detection precision is improved, and the installation difficulty is reduced; the distal ends of the first strain gauge 20 and the second strain gauge 30 are fixed to the pull rod joint 10, so as to increase the stretching amount of the detection section 51 of the fiber grating 50 located in the gap 40, thereby avoiding large detection errors caused by too small stretching amount; in addition, the fiber grating 50 is fixed by glue, the coating layer 53 on the surface of the fiber grating 50 at the glue injection position is removed, the fiber core 52 in the inside is directly contacted with the glue, and the bonding strength of the fiber grating 50 is ensured.

[0033] The above merely expresses the preferred technical solutions of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, and the present application also intends to include these changes and modifications.
