A verification device for wave height and wave period of a wave buoy

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for calibrating a wave height and a wave period of a wave buoy. The device comprises a wave simulating device, a motor, a braking device, a controller device and a terminal control device, wherein the wave simulating device comprises buoy carrying platforms, a swing mechanism, a north half ring shaft, a double-ring truss mechanism and a south half ring shaft. The device can be used for vividly simulating movement tracks of the wave buoy on a sea surface, and ensures that the wave buoy can swing on the basis of a translational motion, with regulated swing angle, when rotating along with the calibrating device, so that the sine characteristic movements of waves are accurately simulated, and the wave height and the wave period of the wave buoy are accurately measured and calibrated; and after the wave buoy is clamped once, the wave buoy can be transferred to a next detection point without being detached. The device is capable of calibrating the wave buoy within a wave height range of 2m to 10m and a wave period range of 3.7s to 60s. The rotating direction of the device is changeable, so that the device can be used for correspondingly simulating two opposite wave directions.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the technical field of metrological verification of ocean wave buoys, specifically a set of static devices capable of simulating the law of sinusoidal motion of ocean waves, mainly used for metrological verification of wave height and wave period of wave buoys. Background technique [0002] Wave is one of the six elements of marine hydrological observation, and also one of the important forms of motion of seawater. The gravity acceleration wave buoy is one of the most widely used wave buoys at present. With the continuous development of marine technology, countries have higher and higher requirements for the accuracy of wave buoys. Most of the existing verification and calibration devices that have been developed can only verify whether the buoy is working. The calibration of the two parameters of wave height and wave period is not accurate, and the range of detectable wave height and period is limited, which no longer meets...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Most of the existing verification and calibration devices that have been developed can only verify whether the buoy is working. The calibration of the two parameters of wave height and wave period is not accurate, and the range of detectable wave height and period is limited, which no longer meets the needs of current technological development.

There is a vertical lifting sinusoidal analog calibration device in the data buoy center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, NDBC), but its structure is complex, there are many parts that are easy to be ground, the motor load is uneven, and the maintenance cost is high
