[0002] Tunnel lining deformation monitoring is a crucial aspect of tunnel engineering safety management and maintenance. During tunnel construction or operation, lining deformation may be related to construction techniques, material quality, or geological conditions. Tunnel lining deformation may be a precursor to structural instability. If it is not detected and addressed in time, it may lead to serious problems such as crack expansion, spalling, or even collapse.

[0003] Existing monitoring equipment mainly collects lining deformation data in real time through wireless sensor nodes or directly uses three-dimensional laser scanning technology. The former is susceptible to interference, which affects the accuracy of the data, while the latter, three-dimensional laser scanning, is highly dependent on light and is generally conducted periodically, resulting in data lag and making real-time monitoring difficult.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0026] Please see the appendix Figures 1-7 This utility model discloses an automatic recording instrument for tunnel lining deformation, including an information processing and input terminal 1, and also includes a deformation monitoring component 2 and a data monitoring component 3, wherein:

[0027] The deformation monitoring component 2 includes multiple optical fiber cables 21 that are laterally fixed to the inner wall of the tunnel lining by clamps 23 and are arranged at equal intervals. Multiple reflective fiber optic grating sensors 22 are installed at equal intervals on the optical fiber cables 21.

[0028] Data monitoring component 3 includes optical signal transmitters 31 symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the tunnel. The optical signal transmitters 31 are equipped with multiple optical signal transmitters 33 at different angles that cooperate with fiber optic grating sensors 22. A signal receiver 32 is installed at the bottom of the optical signal transmitters 31. The signal receiver 32 is equipped with multiple angle-adjustable signal receiving mechanisms 4.

[0029] Both the signal receiving mechanism 4 and the optical signal transmitter 33 are connected to the information processing and input terminal 1.

[0030] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The optical fiber cables 21 are symmetrically distributed in an arch shape on the tunnel lining. The angles of the fiber optic grating sensors 22 on different optical fiber cables 21 are different and correspond to different signal receiving mechanisms 4 at opposite positions.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the tunnel lining experiences strain or temperature changes, the reflected light wavelength of the fiber optic grating changes. At this time, the optical signal transmitter 33 transmits the optical signal to the corresponding fiber optic grating sensor 22, and the fiber optic grating sensor 22 reflects the optical signal to the optical signal receiver 42 for real-time monitoring. By monitoring the wavelength offset, the strain or temperature change of the tunnel lining can be accurately measured.

[0032] Furthermore, the spacing between the fiber Bragg grating sensors 22 on the optical fiber cable 21 is 2m, and multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors 22 can be installed on the optical fiber cable 21, enabling large-scale monitoring.

[0033] Furthermore, the information processing and input terminal 1 includes an information processor and a wireless communication module, and the optical signal transmitter 33 and the optical signal receiver 42 are both connected to the information processor.

[0034] In this embodiment, the monitoring data is processed and entered into the information processor on the terminal for analysis and processing, and then recorded in the monitoring system through the wireless communication module. Example 2

[0035] Based on the above embodiment one, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The signal receiving mechanism 4 includes a rotating platform 41 rotatably connected to the signal receiving platform 32. An optical signal receiver 42 is installed on the upper end of the rotating platform 41. A rotating shaft 43 is symmetrically installed on the front end of the rotating platform 41. Multiple sets of fixed platforms 431 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the rotating platform 41. The rotating shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the fixed platform 431 through a shaft hole.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple positioning platforms 46 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the signal receiving station 32. Each positioning platform 46 has an arc-shaped and through-hole rotating groove 47. Rotating shafts 48 are symmetrically installed at the rear end of the rotating platform 41. The rotating shafts 48 are movably connected to the rotating grooves 47. One side of the rotating shaft 48 passes through the rotating grooves 47 and its end is fixed with a limit plate 49. The other side of the rotating shaft 48 passes through the rotating grooves 47 and its end is detachably installed with an adjustment plate 44 for fixing. A knob 45 is installed on the outside of the adjustment plate 44. The inner wall of the adjustment plate 44 near the rotating shaft 48 is made of friction material and is equipped with a screw 441. The rotating shaft 43 near the adjustment plate 44 is provided with a screw hole 481, and the screw 441 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 481.

[0037] In this embodiment, the adjustment plate 44 is loosened by turning the knob 45, and the rear end of the rotating platform 41 is held by hand to start rotating the rotating platform 41 so that the optical signal receiver 42 on the rotating platform 41 is aligned with the reflection direction of the fiber optic grating sensor 22. Then, the screw 441 is screwed into the screw hole 481 so that the inner side of the adjustment plate 44 is attached to the positioning platform 46 for fixation, thereby keeping the angle of the rotating platform 41 fixed, and monitoring can then be performed.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The optical fiber cable is installed on the inner wall of the tunnel lining by clamp 23. During installation, the angle of the fiber optic grating sensor 22 on the optical fiber cable needs to be rotated and adjusted so that the fiber optic grating sensor 22 is aligned with the emission direction of the corresponding optical signal transmitter 33 on the opposite optical signal transmitter 31. Then, the adjustment plate 44 is loosened by turning knob 45. The rear end of the rotating platform 41 is held by hand and the rotating platform 41 is rotated so that the optical signal receiver 42 on the rotating platform 41 is aligned with the reflection direction of the fiber optic grating sensor 22. Then, the screw 441 is screwed into the screw hole 481 so that the inner side of the adjustment plate 44 is attached to the positioning platform 46 for fixation, thereby keeping the angle of the rotating platform 41 fixed. At this time, monitoring can be performed.

[0039] When the tunnel lining experiences strain or temperature changes, the wavelength of the reflected light from the fiber optic grating changes. At this time, the optical signal transmitter 33 transmits the optical signal to the corresponding fiber optic grating sensor 22, which reflects the optical signal to the optical signal receiver 42 for real-time monitoring. By monitoring the wavelength shift, the strain or temperature change of the tunnel lining can be accurately measured. The monitoring data is processed and entered into the information processor on the terminal for analysis and processing, and then recorded in the monitoring system through the wireless communication module.
