Vibrating-Wire Sensors & Acquisition振弦传感器与采集系统
A one-stop stress-monitoring solution: six vibrating-wire sensor families plus an intelligent frequency-sweep acquisition system that also reads most other vendors' VW sensors — from foundation-pit struts to dam cores. 一站式应力监测解决方案:六大振弦传感器系列 + 智能扫频采集系统,并可直接接入大多数厂家的振弦传感器——从基坑支撑到大坝坝体。

Frequency-based sensing that stays stable for decades 以频率为信号,数十年长期稳定
Vibrating-wire sensing converts stress, strain and pressure into the resonant frequency of a tensioned steel wire — a signal immune to cable-length attenuation, resistant to electromagnetic interference and nearly drift-free over years. That is why it remains the de-facto standard for permanently embedded monitoring of foundation-pit supports, tunnel linings, dam bodies and bridge pile foundations. 振弦测量将应力、应变与压力转化为张紧钢弦的自振频率——频率信号不受线缆长度衰减影响、抗电磁干扰、多年漂移极小。因此振弦至今仍是基坑支护、隧道衬砌、大坝坝体、桥梁桩基等永久埋入式监测的事实标准。
- ✓Engineered for permanent embedment为永久埋设而生
Frequency output is unaffected by long cables and EMI; long-term drift stays below 0.1% FS per year.频率输出不受长线缆与电磁干扰影响,长期漂移低于每年 0.1%FS。
- ✓Synchronized temperature compensation温度同步补偿
Every sensor carries a built-in thermistor sampled together with frequency, stripping thermal effects out of the stress reading.传感器内置热敏电阻,与频率同步采集,将温度影响从应力读数中剥离。
- ✓One family, every stress parameter一个系列覆盖全部应力参数
Rebar stress, surface and embedded strain, anchor-cable load, earth pressure and pore water pressure — all on one acquisition system.钢筋应力、表面与埋入式应变、锚索受力、土压力与孔隙水压力——同一套采集系统全部覆盖。
How a Steel Wire Measures Stress一根钢弦如何测出应力
A steel wire 0.15–0.20 mm thick and 100–150 mm long is tensioned between two end blocks fixed to the structure. Its resonant frequency follows f = (1/2L)·√(T/ρ): wire tension is proportional to f², so any strain in the member shifts the frequency — a principle in continuous dam-monitoring service since the 1930s.一根直径 0.15–0.20mm、长 100–150mm 的钢弦张紧固定在与结构相连的两个端块之间。其自振频率满足 f = (1/2L)·√(T/ρ):弦的张力与 f² 成正比,构件应变随之改变频率——这一原理自 1930 年代起持续应用于大坝监测至今。
Pluck, Then Listen先激励 · 后聆听
The coil fires a 1–5 kHz frequency-sweep pulse to set the wire ringing, then switches to receive mode. The ring-down at the wire's resonant frequency induces a 1–10 mV signal from which frequency is extracted by zero-crossing counting or FFT.线圈先发出 1–5kHz 扫频脉冲激发钢弦振动,随后切换为接收模式。钢弦在自振频率上的余振感应出 1–10mV 信号,经过零计数或 FFT 提取频率。
Frequency, Not Voltage传频率 · 不传电压
Because the measurand is a frequency rather than an analog voltage, the signal is immune to long-cable attenuation and electromagnetic interference — the physical reason VW sensors survive decades of permanent embedment in concrete.被测量是频率而非模拟电压,信号不受长线缆衰减与电磁干扰影响——这正是振弦传感器可在混凝土中永久埋设数十年的物理原因。
Temperature, Stripped Out温度影响 · 同步剥离
A 10 °C swing can bias an uncompensated stress reading by 5–10%. The built-in NTC thermistor (typ. 10 kΩ at 25 °C) is sampled synchronously with frequency, and the k_T term in the formula strips the thermal effect out.10℃ 温差可使未补偿的应力读数偏差 5–10%。内置 NTC 热敏电阻(典型 10kΩ@25℃)与频率同步采样,公式中的 k_T 项将温度影响剥离。
Inside the piezometer, the same wire sits behind a stainless-steel diaphragm: water pressure deflects the diaphragm by a few micrometres, a push rod converts that into wire tension, and pressure follows P = G·(f² − f₀²) + Δ_T·(T − T₀) — a two-stage mechanical amplification that underpins its decade-scale stability. 在渗压计内部,同样的钢弦位于不锈钢膜片之后:水压使膜片产生几微米挠度,经传力杆转化为钢弦张力变化,压力满足 P = G·(f² − f₀²) + Δ_T·(T − T₀)——这种"二阶机械放大"结构是其十年尺度长期稳定的基础。

Embedment & Field Practice埋设规程与现场实践
Sensor accuracy and installation accuracy are two different things: a piezometer leaves the factory at 0.025% FS, but an unsaturated filter or a mis-recorded depth can put 5–10% of error into the data. These field rules close that gap.传感器精度与安装精度是两回事:渗压计出厂精度 0.025%FS,但透水头不饱和或深度记错,数据偏差可达 5–10%。以下现场规程就是为堵住这个缺口。
- 1Saturate the filter under water — at least 24 h透水头水下饱和——不少于 24 小时
A piezometer's porous filter is never lowered dry. Residual air bubbles bias long-term readings low by 5–10%, and no later calibration can recover it.渗压计透水头严禁干态下井。气泡残留会使长期读数偏低 5–10%,且事后无法通过校准修回。
- 2Two gates before concrete embedment埋入混凝土前的两道门禁
A 48-hour burn-in plus independent verification with a frequency meter. Once the concrete is poured there is no second chance.48 小时老化测试 + 频率计独立验证。混凝土浇筑之后没有再来一次的机会。
- 3Record the actual depth to 0.1 m实际安装深度记录到 0.1m
The installed depth must match the design documents — a wrong depth record is the hardest error to trace in later data back-analysis.安装深度必须与设计文件对得上——深度记错是后期数据反演中最难追查的误差来源。
- 4Seal the borehole above the sensor传感器上方封孔
Sand or bentonite sealing prevents water from connecting across layers; without it, the measuring point loses its layer-specific meaning.用砂或膨润土密封,避免上下层水互串;不封孔,监测点就失去分层意义。
- 5Choose gauge vs. absolute correctly表压式 / 绝对式选对
Vented (gauge) types for water-level work — atmospheric pressure is removed automatically; absolute types for sealed, confined water pressure. The wrong choice makes the data oscillate with the weather.水位类监测选表压式(自动扣除大气压);承压水等密闭水压选绝对式。选错会让数据跟着天气一起波动。

Lost Contact After Embedment? Don't Break Concrete First埋入后失联?先别拆混凝土
The field triage order: switch to intelligent frequency-sweep, step the excitation voltage level, verify independently with a frequency meter — and only then consider physical access. Intelligent sweep often recovers sensors with slowly degrading coils.现场排查顺序:先切智能扫频,再调激励电压档位,再用频率计独立验证,最后才考虑拆装。智能扫频常能恢复线圈慢性老化的传感器。
