[0022] As the preferred embodiment of the utility model, displacement conversion device includes cantilever beam support block 2, cantilever beam 3, tow rope 4, pivot, bearing 5, fiber grating 7 and sensor shell 11, cantilever beam support block 2, cantilever beam 3, tow rope 4, pivot, bearing 5, fiber grating 7 are all arranged in sensor shell 11, bearing 5 is fixed on sensor shell 11, pivot is arranged in bearing 5, the end of pivot is fixedly connected with circular gear 1 after going out sensor shell 11, cantilever beam support block 2 is fixed on the top wall of the side of sensor shell 11 away from circular gear 1, cantilever beam 3 is arranged on cantilever beam support block 2, fiber grating 7 is pasted and installed at the center of cantilever beam 3, one end of tow rope 4 is fixedly connected with cantilever beam 3, the other end of tow rope 4 is wound on pivot.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] The embodiment discloses a use method of the variable-range displacement sensor 10, a mathematical model is established in the sensor, and the displacement measured by the displacement sensor can be calculated by converting the center wavelength drift of the fiber grating to the value actually measured by the variable-range displacement sensor 10 according to the mathematical model.

[0025] When the displacement of the shock insulation support changes, the measuring pull rope connected with the support is subjected to a stretching force, drives the circular gear to rotate, the pivot connected with the circular gear rotates with the circular gear at the same angular displacement (but the linear displacement is different, the linear displacement of the circular gear is large, and the linear displacement of the pivot tow rope is small), and the cantilever beam is connected with the pivot through the tow rope, when the pivot rotates, the cantilever beam is driven to generate a downward degree of change through the tow rope, and then the center wavelength of the fiber grating pasted at the center of the cantilever beam changes, and the displacement measured by the displacement sensor can be calculated by measuring the center wavelength change of the fiber grating.

[0026] When the temperature in the external environment or the cantilever beam deforms, the following expression can be obtained according to the sensing principle of the fiber Bragg grating:

[0027]

[0028] In the formula, ΔT is the temperature change of the environment of the fiber grating;

[0029] K T is the temperature sensitivity coefficient of the fiber grating;

[0030] ε is the axial strain of the fiber grating;

[0031] K ε is the strain sensitivity coefficient of the fiber grating;

[0032] λ B is the center wavelength of the fiber grating;

[0033] Δλ B is the center wavelength shift of the fiber grating.

[0034] wherein the strain sensitivity coefficient K ε can be expressed as:

[0035] K ε = 1-P e (1-2)

[0036] In the formula, P e is the elasto-optical coefficient of the fiber grating.

[0037] FBG1 and FBG2 are made of the same material and have the same temperature and strain sensitivity coefficients. The two fiber gratings are designed in a differential structure, have the same environmental temperature change, and are subjected to stress in opposite directions, i.e.

[0038] ΔT1 = ΔT2, ε = ε1-ε2.

[0039] The respective parameters of FBG1 and FBG2 are brought into (1-1) and subtracted to obtain:

[0040]

[0041] In the formula, Δλ B1 , Δλ B2 are the center wavelength shifts of FBG1 and FBG2 respectively;

[0042] λ B1 , λ B2 are the center wavelengths of FBG1 and FBG2 respectively.

[0043] It can be known from formula (1-3) that by subtracting the relationship between the wavelength change and the center wavelength of FBG1 and FBG2, the influence of the environmental temperature on the center wavelength shift of the two fiber gratings can be reduced, and the difference between the two is only related to the deformation of the cantilever beam and has a linear relationship.

[0044] When the cantilever beam is disturbed, the strain calculation formula at a certain position on the surface is:

[0045]

[0046] In the formula, ε is the strain at a distance x from the fixed end;

[0047] L is the length of the uniform strength cantilever beam;

[0048] x is the distance from the fixed end of the uniform strength cantilever beam;

[0049] E is the elastic modulus of the uniform strength cantilever beam;

[0050] A— is the cross-sectional area of the cantilever beam at a distance x from the fixed end;

[0051] h— is the thickness of the cantilever beam of equal strength.

[0052] From the attached Figure 5 It can be seen that the width of the cantilever beam at the fixed end is b0, and the width of the cantilever beam at a distance x from the fixed end is b x The cross-sectional area A x of the cantilever beam at a distance x from the fixed end is:

[0053]

[0054] Substituting equation (1-5) into equation (1-4) gives the strain ε of the cantilever beam:

[0055]

[0056] The perturbation of the free end of the cantilever beam of equal strength is:

[0057]

[0058] Substituting equation (1-7) into equation (1-6) gives the surface strain calculation formula of the cantilever beam:

[0059]

[0060] When measuring the displacement of the pull rope driving the circular truncated cone gear in the third sliding groove on the upper bottom surface, the central shaft will rotate with the same angular displacement. The relationship between the external measurement displacement X1 and the bending perturbation ω of the cantilever beam can be obtained from the diameter r of the central shaft and the diameter R1 of the upper bottom surface of the circular truncated cone gear:

[0061]

[0062] Substituting equations (1-9) and (1-8) into equation (1-3) gives:

[0063]

[0064] When measuring the displacement of the pull rope driving the circular truncated cone gear in the first sliding groove on the lower bottom surface, the central shaft will rotate with the same angular displacement. The relationship between the external measurement displacement X2 and the perturbation ω can be obtained from the diameter r of the central shaft and the diameter R2 of the upper bottom surface of the circular truncated cone gear:

[0065]

[0066] Referring to the attached Figure 6 When the measurement pull rope drives the circular truncated cone gear to rotate in the second sliding groove on the conical surface, the corresponding relationship between the external measurement displacement X3 and the angular displacement θ can be represented as:

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, n is the number of grooves of the circular cone surface of the circular-trapezoidal gear.

[0069] Similarly, under the angular displacement θ, the linear displacement X of the central rotating shaft is θ :

[0070] X θ = r·θ (1-14)

[0071] By combining the formula (1-13) and (1-14), the relationship between X3 and X θ is obtained as follows:

[0072]

[0073] According to the displacement conversion principle, the linear displacement X of the central rotating shaft is θ the bending deflection ω of the equal-strength cantilever beam, and the corresponding relationship between the bending deflection ω of the equal-strength cantilever beam and the surface ε thereof is:

[0074]

[0075] By combining the formula (1-3), (1-15) and (1-16), it is obtained that

[0076]

[0077] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the technical scope of the present application in any way. Therefore, any slight modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiment still belongs to the technical scope of the present application.
