DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Reference will now be made in, detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter presented herein. Obviously, the implementation embodiment in the description is a part of the present disclosure implementation examples, rather than the implementation of all embodiments, examples. According to the described embodiment of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by one of ordinary skill in the related art on the premise of no creative work are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0043] A temperature measuring method of distributed multi-section optical fibers according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a temperature measuring system of distributed multi-section optical fibers 100. The temperature measuring system 100 includes a distributed optical fiber thermometer 1 and an optical fiber with multiple segments 2. The distributed optical fiber thermometer 1 includes a laser transmitter, an optical coupler, a photoelectric conversion amplification unit and a data acquisition and processing unit, and is configured to connect to a computer to complete to be performed data processing and data display, or can be directly integrated with a data processing and display unit.

[0044] The optical fiber with multiple segments 2 is divided into at least one high-temperature optical fiber 21 and at least one ordinary optical fiber 22 interlaced to be connected with the at least one high-temperature optical fiber 21. The distributed optical fiber thermometer 1 includes at least one port 11 connected with one end of the ordinary optical fiber 22. The system further includes a temperature controller 3 that is a high and low temperature control box, which is configured to provide a high temperature and a low temperature with a difference therebetween for optical fibers. The distributed optical fiber thermometer 1 can be used for a single-port measurement, or it can be used for a dual-port measurement by setting the ports 11 and 12 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0045] FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of the temperature measuring method of distributed multi-section optical fibers in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes the following steps:

[0046] S10, obtaining data of original stokes signals and data of anti-stokes signals in a while optical fiber.

[0047] That is, obtaining the data of stokes signals and the data of the anti-stokes signals that are backscattered in the high-temperature optical fiber and the ordinary optical fiber. The data arc intensity values of stokes waves and anti-stokes waves scattered at a certain position (displacement).

[0048] S20, distinguishing data of a segment of a high-temperature optical fiber and data of a segment of an ordinary optical fiber according to a discontinuous point of signal data.

[0049] Properties of the high-temperature optical fiber and the ordinary optical fiber are different, so that their group refractive indexes are different. As shown in FIG. 3, a welding connection is formed between the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The group refractive index of the ordinary optical fiber is Ng1, and the group refractive index of the high-temperature optical fiber is Ng2 Due to different group refractive indexes, that is, Ng1 is not equal to Ng2, data collected by the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber are inconsistent at their connection position, that is, the intensity value of refracted light at the welding position of the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber is discontinuous and is jumped at the welding position. Referring to FIG. 4, the intensity of stokes light waves backscattered between the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber has an obvious step at the connection of the two optical fibers, that is, a discontinuous point. With the discontinuous transition point as a boundary between the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber, combining a displacement of light wave on the fibers, a segment of the ordinary optical fiber and a segment of the high-temperature optical fiber can be distinguished.

[0050] A purpose of distinguishing the segment of the ordinary optical fiber and the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber is to separately calculate their respective data, so as to ensure accuracy of temperature measurements.

[0051] S30, performing interpolation calculation on the data of the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber and the data of the segment of the ordinary optical fiber, respectively, according to their respective corresponding group refractive indexes, to align the data of the stokes signals with the data of the anti-stokes signal in distance at each sampling moment.

[0052] The thermometer is configured to collect the stokes signals and the anti-stokes signals at a fixed working frequency, and the pair of signals collected every time are consistent in time, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0053] However, because a transmission speed, of the stokes signals is inconsistent with a transmission speed of the anti-stokes signals in the optical fiber, the pair of signals collected every time on the distance are not aligned, as shown in FIG. 6.

[0054] Therefore, in the above case, it is necessary to perform interpolation calculation on the stokes signals and the anti-stokes signals so as to obtain a pair of signals that is uniform in distance. That is, the data of the stokes signals is aligned with the data of the anti-stokes signal in distance.

[0055] At the same time, for the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber being welded together, their group refractive indexes of the ordinary and high-temperature optical fibers are inconsistent, a distance between every two adjacent signals in the high-temperature optical fiber is inconsistent with a distance between two every adjacent signals in the ordinary optical fiber, the distance between a pair of stokes and anti-stokes signals collected by the thermometer varies in different fiber segments, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. Thus, interpolation calculation is performed on the data collected by ordinary and high-temperature optical fibers, respectively.

[0056] Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, the interpolation calculation includes the following steps:

[0057] S301, According to a sampling distance, a sampling frequency and a group refractive index, calculating a position point with the nearest distance and the highest correlation that data of original signals corresponding to data of each interpolation signal, according to the formula below:

[00002]$X=\frac{D*\mathrm{Ng}}{C}*F{s}_{;}$

wherein X is a position point with the highest correlation; D is a sampling distance; Ng is a group refractive index of optical fibers; C is a velocity of light in a vacuum; Fs is a sampling frequency.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 10, an upper row is original stoker signals, and a lower row tis a target position to be inserted. When inserting the target position, it is necessary to find the point X with the highest correlation from the original signals in the upper row.

[0059] S302, taking the position point with the highest correlation as a center, performing weighted interpolation on each N points with left and right of the center according to distances far and near to obtain a corresponding value of signal data after being interpolated.

[0060] After finding the point with the highest correlation from the step S301, performing weighted interpolation on each N points with left and right of the center according to distances far and near to obtain a corresponding value of signal data after being interpolated. For example, calculating the intensity of the stokes optical signals after the stokes optical signals are interpolated. As shown in FIG. 11, it is intended to insert a stokes signal at the target position in the lower row. After the point with the highest correlation is selected in the upper row, taking the point with the highest correlation as a center, signal strength of each 5 points on the left and right is performed weighted interpolation calculation to obtain a value of the signal strength that the signal is inserted at the target position.

[0061] Itis assumed that the center of the upper row and the 5 points on the left and right are: X, X−1, X+1, X−2, X+2, X−3, X+3, X−4, X+4, X−5, X+5;

[0062] stokes signal intensity of the eleven points respectively are: P(X), P(X−1), P(X+1), P(X−2), P(X+2), P(X−3), P(X+3), P(X−4), P(X+4) P(X−5), P(X+5).

[0063] According to the distance, inverse distance weights are assigned, wherein a weight of P(X) is 0.6, both weights of P(X−1) and P(X+1) are 0.1, both weights of P(X−2) and P(X+2) are 0.1, both weights of P(X−3) and P(X+3) are 0.1, both weights of P(X−4) and P(X+4) are 0.05, and both weights of P(X−5) and P(X+5) are 0.05.

[0064] Then, the numerical calculation results of the target position being performed interpolation calculation are:

P(Ins)=P(X)*0.6+P(X−1)*0.1+P(X+1)*0.1+P(X−2)*0.1+P(X+2)*0.1+P(X−3)*0.1+P(X+3)*0.1+P(X−4)*0.05+P(X+4)*0.05+P(X−5)*0.05+P(X+5)*0.05.

[0065] Finally, the optical signals collected by the high-temperature optical fiber and the ordinary optical fiber are aligned in distance to ensure accuracy of subsequent temperature measurements, as shown in FIG. 12.

[0066] S40, according to the data of the aligned stokes and anti-stokes signals, performing temperature data calculation on the data of the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber and the data of the segment of the ordinary optical fiber, respectively.

[0067] Performing temperature data calculation on, the aligned data of the optical signals after being performed interpolation calculation on the step S30, for example, calculating a ratio R of the data of the anti-stokes signals and the data of the stokes signals, the ratio R of the data of the anti-stokes signals and the data of the stokes signals is correlated with temperatures, so it can be used as temperature data to provide parameters for the final temperature calculation.

[0068] S50, separately connecting the segment of the ordinary optical fiber and the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber with a distributed fiber thermometer and a high-an-low temperature controller, so as to obtain calibration parameters of the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber, respectively.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber are connected with the distributed optical fiber thermometer and the high-and-low temperature controller, respectively, so that the calibration parameters of the ordinary optical fiber and the high-temperature optical fiber can be obtained by using a temperature difference by measuring high and low temperatures.

[0070] Specifically, the calibration parameters include a temperature proportional coefficient adjustment parameter A and an offset compensation parameter B obtained under a temperature difference between a high temperature and a low temperature set in the high-and-low temperature controller for each optical fiber.

[0071] Only when measured values of the parameter A and the parameter 13 are different for optical fibers with different materials can be the same temperature value that is measured for different optical fibers in the same environment.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameter A is determined by the difference between a position with 100° C. and a position with 200° C. of the optical fiber in the high-and-low temperature controller. For example, a low temperature position and a high temperature position in the high-and-low temperature controller are preset at 100° C. and 200° C., respectively. Before the parameters A and B are adjusted and calibrated, an actual measurement temperature of the low-temperature position of the optical fiber in the high-and-low temperature controller is 95° C., and an actual measurement temperature of the high-temperature position is 205° C., with a difference of 110° C. being formed therebetween, which is obviously inconsistent with a preset difference.

[0073] At this time, adjusting the parameter A, for example, when the parameter A is 500, an actual measured temperature difference of the optical fiber in the temperature controller is adjusted to 100° C., for example, the low temperature position is 98° C., and the high temperature position is 198° C., at this time, adjusting the parameter B, for example, the parameter B is set as 2, then the actual measurement temperature at the low temperature position is 100° C., and the actual measurement temperature at the high temperature position is 200, and the difference value is also the preset 100° C. so the measured value is consistent with the preset value to meet measurement requirements. At this time, the values of the parameters A and B are the calibration parameters of the optical fiber.

[0074] For an, acrylate coated optical fiber (Acrylate fiber), the parameters A and B are A=630 and B=−0.5, by connecting the Acrylate fiber with the distributed optical fiber thermometer and the high-and-low temperature controller to measure the parameters A and B.

[0075] S60, generating a final temperature according to the temperature data of the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber and the temperature data of the segment of the ordinary optical fiber, and their corresponding calibration parameters.

[0076] Specifically, the final temperature is generated by a formula below:

T(A*R+B)−273.15;

wherein T is a final temperature, which is a Celsius temperature; R is the temperature data calculated in the step S40, and the temperature data is a ratio of the data of the anti-stokes signal to the data of the stokes signal.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, FIG. 15 is shown the final temperature curve of the un-calibrated optical fiber, it can be obviously observed that when the actual measurement environment is the same temperature, the temperature measured at the junction between the segment of the ordinary optical fiber and the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber is inconsistent and there is a mutation, so that the temperature measured by the optical fiber is not accurate.

[0078] FIG. 16 is shown the final temperature curve of the fiber after being calibrated, it can be obviously observed that when the actual measurement environment is the same temperature, the temperature measured at the junction between the segment of the ordinary optical fiber and the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber is consistent, so that the measured temperature of the whole fiber can accurately reflect the actual temperature.

[0079] The temperature measuring method of distributed multi-section optical fibers of the present disclosure is configured to divide an optical fiber into at, least one high-temperature optical fiber and at least one ordinary optical fiber interlaced to connect with each other, distinguish data of the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber and data of the segment of the ordinary optical fiber during temperature measurement, and perform interpolation calculation on the data of the segment of the high-temperature optical fiber and the data of the segment of the ordinary optical fiber, respectively, according to their respective corresponding group refractive indexes, to align the data of the stokes signals with the data of the anti-stokes signal in distance at each sampling moment and generate a final temperature by combining different calibration parameters of the high-temperature optical fiber and the ordinary optical fiber, respectively. In this way, the present disclosure can not only reduce costs of the temperature measuring system of distributed multi-section optical fibers under high temperature environments, but also eliminate measurement deviation between the high-temperature optical fibers and the ordinary optical fibers to ensure measurement accuracy of the temperature measuring system of distributed multi-section optical fibers.
