The fibre bundle displacement transducer
Technical field
The utility model belongs to the displacement measurement technical field, is specifically related to a kind of fibre bundle displacement transducer.This sensor can carry out high accuracy non-contact to micro-displacement, also can be applicable to vibrate, the measurement of thickness and pressure.
Background technology
The high precision non-contact displacement measurement is the key of micro-nano technology, micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology and accurate control technique, and its realization technology mainly comprises Electric Measurement Technology and optical measuring technique.Electric Measurement Technology has electric vortex type and condenser type, and its disadvantage is to be subjected to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and this had both influenced the precision of measuring, and had limited its range of application again.Optical measuring technique mainly comprises laser interferometry, depth of focus Detection Techniques and fiber reflection technology.Laser interferometry has high resolving power, but its precision and stability depend on optical wavelength.The depth of focus Detection Techniques relate to complicated lens and prism combination, and structure is complicated.And the fiber reflection technology is to obtain high-resolution straightforward procedure.
Have anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), high precision, wideband is loud, low-cost, simple in structure and volume is little advantage based on the fiber reflection formula sensor of intensity modulation.Its fibre-optical probe is made up of launching fiber and reception optical fiber.Light shines the measured body surface through launching fiber, and reflected light enters optical receiver through reception optical fiber and becomes and the proportional electric signal of receiving light power.The reflective light intensity that receives changes with the variation of the distance between fibre-optical probe end face and measured body reflecting surface.So signal of sensor just becomes the direct measured value of measured body displacement.In order to improve sensor performance, probe adopts fibre bundle usually.
But, this sensitivity that has influenced sensor based on the displacement measurement technology of absolute light intensity greatly.Typical this sensor is found in United States Patent (USP) U.S.3327584, U.S.3940608, U.S.4247764 and U.S.4694160.Its drawback is mainly reflected in following several respects:
1. the reflective light intensity that receives of optical receiver is subjected to the interference of environment parasitic light inevitably.
2. different measured bodies has surface of different nature, and their reflectivity has nothing in common with each other, and the displacement curve that the fiber reflection formula is measured also has nothing in common with each other, and this just needs frequent check sensor.
3. the light intensity of light source can not remain constantly, and the fluctuation of power supply can cause the fluctuation of light source, and long-time back light intensity can descend to some extent.This also needs verification or increases extra light equalizing network to guarantee the substantially constant of emission light intensity.
To the bending of optical fiber, move or stretching etc. can make the loss of optical fiber change, thereby cause fibre to bring out penetrating the fluctuation of light intensity.
