  • Patent number: 10830944
    Abstract: An opening and closing detection sensor of the present invention includes a fixed base, a moving base, an optical fiber, and a moving member. The moving base is disposed so as to be movable relative to the fixed base. The optical fiber includes an FBG part where a Bragg wavelength varies responding to an interval between the fixed base and the moving base. The moving member moves between a first position corresponding to either one of an opened state or a closed state of an object and a second position corresponding to the other state. The moving member includes a locking part. The locking part abuts on the moving base between a third position located between the first position and the second position, and the second position, thereby moving the moving base together with the moving member, and moving the moving base in a direction separated from the fixed base.

  • Patent number: 10663324
    Abstract: An optical fiber sensor according to the present invention is provided with a first fixation member which fixes an optical fiber on a base at a fixation position set on the base in a state where FBGs are arranged in one side of the fixation position and the other side of the fixation position respectively. Also, in one side of the fixation position, a second fixation member which fixes the optical fiber on the base in a state where tension is applied to a first FBG is provided. Further, in the other side of the fixation position, a third fixation member which fixes the optical fiber on the base in a state where tension which is different from the tension applied to the first FBG is applied to the second FBG and the Bragg wavelength of the second FBG is different from that of the first FBG is provided.
