Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of ship wave environment adaptability test platform, wave power generation equipment testing, military training, and public sports and entertainment auxiliary facilities, and particularly relates to a self-moving bionic driving wave-boosting device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] More and more countries and regions including China have begun to popularize surfing, in order to overcome the defects of insufficient and unstable wave sources in nature, people have developed various artificial wave devices, traditional ones including push plate type, vacuum type, air pressure type, etc. These artificial wave devices have a common feature that once the wave is formed, in the process of advancing, due to the diffusion of the range, the resistance of the pool bottom ground and the water surface air, the viscosity of the water and the action of gravity, the wave height and wave speed will quickly decay. If used for surfing training or competition, the effective wave duration and movement distance are insufficient, therefore, someone has developed an artificial wave device with continuous driving force wave-boosting push plate (reference patents: PCT / ES2008 / 000089, PCT / US2013 / 059498, US 8,366,347B2, US 8,042,200B2). The wave-boosting plate of this device is continuously pulled by the driving device, the height of the formed wave is higher than the above-mentioned traditional wave-boosting way, and the wave height and shape are very stable, therefore, it is very popular and respected by surfers, and gradually becomes one of the main development trends of artificial wave devices for future surfing, and is called the second generation artificial wave device, while the previous traditional artificial wave device is called the first generation artificial wave device. The second generation artificial wave device forms a wave through the reciprocating motion of the wave-boosting plate in the water, its wave-boosting mechanism determines that each time the wave-boosting plate moves can only form a wave, the training efficiency is low, and moreover, the wave-boosting plate needs to go through acceleration-constant speed-deceleration three stages every time, only the constant speed section is effective, and the acceleration and deceleration sections cannot be used, therefore, low efficiency, high energy consumption, and large occupation are its fatal weaknesses. For this reason, people have developed a modular wave-boosting device that can continuously and high-frequency wave-boosting, which better solves the problems of efficiency, energy consumption and occupation. It can be called the third generation artificial wave device.

[0003] The second or third generation artificial wave device is installed with a wave making device in a pool, such as the above-mentioned several reference patents, a trolley and a wave making plate reciprocating along a track, or a wave maker integrating the trolley and the wave making plate, a fixed power traction device at both ends of the track, a steel wire rope providing traction force for the trolley or the wave maker, and reciprocating along the track in the pool to make waves. This fixed track also brings great problems: 1. At present, the track is mostly a reinforced concrete plus steel truss structure, and the height and length of the track are fixed after construction. The depth of the pool cannot be changed, but the depth of the natural rivers, lakes and seas is constantly changing due to tides, rainfall and evaporation, runoff, and water level in wet and dry seasons. The fixed height track will be submerged and cannot be used when the water is deep, or cannot make effective waves when the water is shallow. In order to maintain a stable water depth, the existing technology has to invest in building a drainage system to maintain the stability of the water level; 2. In order to withstand the weight of the trolley or wave maker itself, the impact force of starting and braking, and the reaction force from the water, the track is designed and constructed as a very thick reinforced concrete structure with a deep and wide foundation. Such a wave making device will be defined as a permanent building in architecture, which is not allowed to use in many land properties, and the environmental impact assessment is difficult to pass the certification; 3. The construction cost of the track will be very high. The third generation artificial wave device also has similar problems: 1. Land occupation. The consumption capacity of the city is high, and the land cost is high. The consumption capacity of the city with low land cost is definitely weak. This forms a paradox, making it difficult for artificial wave facilities to quickly recover investment. Even without considering the land cost, a series of procedures such as land approval and environmental impact assessment also greatly lengthen the construction period of artificial wave facilities. 2. For ship wave environment adaptability test platform, wave power equipment test, military training and other application scenarios, the artificial pool has a great gap in space size and environmental parameters compared with the natural water surface, which cannot meet the application requirements; 3. For surfing parks built for sports and leisure tourism, even the smallest third generation artificial wave pool occupies an area equivalent to 18 standard swimming pools. The construction of the pool and supporting projects consumes a huge amount of money, and the cost of pool water consumption and cleaning and filtration after operation is also a considerable expense. 4. The investment in creating a natural beach environment for a surfing park will inevitably be a heavy burden for the operator. For coastal cities, this investment is often unnecessary, and using existing beaches will certainly be more effective than artificial beaches under the same investment. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the application provides a self-moving bionic driving wave-aiding device and method. The device uses existing fresh water or seawater to push and aid waves according to wave height and frequency indexes set by customers, so as to form a wave simulation environment for marine scientific research, military training, sports professional training, competition or tourism and leisure. The device can move to a specified water area by itself, float on the water surface and provide artificial wave-aiding service by the bionic driving device. The platform automatically rises and falls with the water depth.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the application is as follows:

[0006] The self-moving bionic driving wave-aiding device comprises a bearing platform, at least one rudder is arranged below the tail of the bearing platform, a modular bionic power unit is arranged on the bearing platform, a flexible wave-making plate is connected with the bionic power unit through a driving rod and extends below the bearing platform at least partially, at least two floating buoys are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides below the bearing platform through a floating buoy connecting structure, and a traveling and operating control room is arranged on the bearing platform.

[0007] Further, the flexible wave-making plate simulates the motion form of a sea snake and moves forward instead of a propeller driving device under the driving of the modular bionic power unit and the driving rod, or generates continuous waves according to preset wave height and wave frequency parameters after the bionic driving wave-aiding device is anchored by an anchor and a support pile at the working site.

[0008] Further, the head of the floating buoy facing the bearing platform is a bow, the tail of the floating buoy facing the bearing platform is a stern, and the bow and the stern are semispherical or inverted pear-shaped. The floating buoy can be controlled to be filled with water or drained to adjust upward buoyancy, so as to help the bearing platform to be at a suitable working depth. The floating buoy connecting structure of the floating buoy and the support platform not only rigidly connects the floating buoy and the support platform, but also effectively isolates the motion space of the flexible wave-making plate from the external water body, so as to prevent personnel from entering the motion space of the flexible wave-making plate and causing personal injury.

[0009] Further, the bearing platform is anchored at the working position by an anchor and a support pile during wave-aiding operation.

[0010] Further, when the water depth changes due to tides, precipitation, runoff or evaporation, the working water area of the bionic driving wave-aiding device can be adapted to the change of the water depth by adjusting the working states of the support pile, the anchor and the floating buoy.

[0011] Further, after the artificial wave-making task in a water area is completed, the bionic driving wave-aiding device retracts the support pile and the anchor and enters a free floating state, travels to a new working water area as needed and enters the working state again.

[0012] Further, all the immersed metal parts are treated with anti-corrosion, and the electrochemical anti-corrosion means is implemented to connect the submerged zinc block.

[0013] Further, the flexible wave-making plate is fixed in the gap between two driving rods in parallel.

[0014] The application also provides a bionic driving mobile wave-aiding method of the bionic driving wave-aiding device, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1, starting the modular bionic power unit, and driving the bionic driving wave-aiding device to the sea area needing wave aid;

[0016] Step 2, directing the tail of the bionic driving wave-aiding device towards the beach;

[0017] Step 3, adjusting the working height of the bearing platform by controlling the buoyancy of the buoy;

[0018] Step 4, fixing the position of the bionic driving wave-aiding device by using the anchor and support foot pile;

[0019] Step 5, monitoring the surrounding sea wave conditions, including wave height and wave frequency;

[0020] Step 6, starting the modular power unit to provide wave aid service according to the data of the surrounding sea wave conditions obtained in step 5, and constantly adjusting the operation parameters, so that the output of the modular power unit is the same as the natural sea wave in frequency and reaches the predetermined height, thereby achieving the purpose of wave aid.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The application only needs to drive the wave-aiding device to the designated location, and can start the wave-aiding work after completing the positioning anchoring preparation work. It is not limited by the local water depth and has no requirement on the flatness of the water bottom; it is beneficial to carry out the artificial wave-making based surfing movement in any suitable water area outdoors, utilizes the natural water area, does not occupy land, and does not damage the natural environment, and is convenient for examination and environmental evaluation.

[0023] (2) The application does not need to excavate and construct a pool, pour a reinforced concrete foundation and a track support structure, and the overall cost is lower than that of the traditional artificial wave pool. It utilizes the natural water area, does not need to purchase, install and operate pool water purification facilities, and the saving effect is obvious in terms of project cost and operation cost. Moreover, one set of equipment can be used in multiple places, according to different climate temperature and suitable conditions, as long as there is a water area connected by a channel, it can be migrated, and the comprehensive economic benefit is much higher than that of the fixed artificial surfing pool.

[0024] (3) The application first uses bionic technology to simulate the motion form of sea snake in water to drive the device to run or complete the wave-boosting work. The mechanism is simple and efficient, the failure rate and maintenance cost are low, and a set of equipment can complete two works. Especially in the wave-boosting effect, the wave frequency and wave height that meet the user's requirements can be provided according to the user's demand.

[0025] (4) The application first proposes the concept of artificial wave boosting, superimposes the waves output by the device and the natural sea waves, so that the waves available for users can be generated with lower energy consumption, achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0026] (5) The application uses natural water to boost wave formation to simulate marine wave environment, which can better meet the requirements of application space and environmental complexity for ship wave environment adaptability test platform, wave power generation equipment test, military training and other applications.

[0027] (6) The bearing platform of the application can rise and fall with the local water level, ensuring that the wave-boosting part remains constant relative to the water surface height, and still produces stable waves when the water depth changes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] The main purpose of the present application is to simulate sea wave environment for ship wave environment adaptability test platform, wave power generation equipment test, military training, and public sports and entertainment using natural water body. At present, domestic and international large-scale artificial wave making equipment is a fixed facility, which occupies valuable land resources and builds fixed buildings, and the project construction and operation service resource consumption is huge. On the other hand, a large amount of natural water space is idle and cannot be effectively utilized, causing great waste. Therefore, there is a great demand for facilities that can simulate sea wave environment according to user requirements using natural water body. The present application provides a self-moving bionic driving wave assisting device and method, which provides a new idea for solving the above problems. The wave assisting device can freely travel to the water area that needs service by imitating the motion form of a sea snake module bionic driving unit, and can carry out wave assisting work combined with the local sea wave situation. After the service in one place is completed, the device can travel to the next place to carry out work. Thus, the utilization rate of the device is greatly improved, and better social and economic benefits can be created compared with fixed wave making facilities.

[0036] The bearing platform of the self-moving bionic driving wave assisting device of the present application is welded by low carbon steel plate, and is provided with multiple watertight cabins and can float on the water surface. The size of the bearing platform is generally similar to that of a common raft of about 100 meters. If the size is too short, the power is insufficient, and if the size is too long, it is not enough to resist wind and waves during transfer. That is, the design of the bearing platform complies with the current design specification of the raft, except that the bearing platform has sufficient lateral reaction force structural strength. The bearing platform is provided with multiple support piles in each direction through the connecting cylinder. The low carbon steel support piles can move up and down relative to the bearing platform, and can be fixed by bolts between the bearing platform. When all the support piles are inserted into the water bottom and fixed, the entire bearing platform is fixed and can withstand lateral force. The upper part of the bearing platform is loaded with a modular bionic driving and wave assisting power unit, and the number of units is determined according to customer requirements. If the effective wave length is long, more units are needed, and vice versa. Each power unit is usually driven by two motors to drive 12 modular bionic power units, drive rods, and push flexible wave making plates to imitate the motion form of a sea snake, and push the water body to form continuous waves. When the device freely floats on the water surface, the reaction force of the continuous waves pushes the device to move forward. When the device is anchored, the continuous waves generated can be used for testing, training and recreation.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present application, a self-moving bionic driving wave-boosting device is provided. A rectangular carrying platform combined by a plurality of watertight cabins capable of floating is used as a main body, and three modular bionic power units are mounted on the carrying platform, each of which is combined by 12 driving modules connected by motors at both ends. Each driving module drives a slider to slide in a sliding groove through a crank block, and drives a driving rod to reciprocate under the cooperation of a guide rail and an axial bearing, thereby pushing a flexible wave-making plate to move. In order to simulate the movement mode of a sea snake, the phase angle difference between adjacent modules of the 12 driving modules is 360° / 12=30°, and the adjacent driving modules in two adjacent power units also follow this rule. In this way, when the modular bionic power unit is started, it can not only simulate the movement mode of a sea snake to generate a sinusoidal wave thrust in the direction of the main shaft of the power unit, but also drive the device to move and generate continuous high-frequency waves.

[0038] When the local water level changes in depth, the bionic driving wave-boosting device can re-enter the working state by adjusting the state of the support pile, the buoy and the anchor, so as to ensure that the depth of the wave-making plate or the wave maker immersed in the water does not change, and the stability of the wave height and shape is ensured.

[0039] After the bionic driving wave-boosting device completes the artificial wave-making task in a water area, the anchor and the support pile are collected, the buoyant force is adjusted, and the free running state is entered, so that it can be driven to other water areas where artificial waves are needed, and then the above construction process is repeated to re-enter the artificial wave-making working state.

[0040] Preferably, according to one aspect of the present application, as long as the length of the support pile is sufficient and the carrying strength is sufficient, the carrying platform can be anchored to the water area at the bottom of the water through the support pile under the cooperation of the buoy and the anchor. Therefore, the floating carrying platform proposed by the present application can adapt to a larger range of different water depths and water areas with uneven bottoms, and ensure the normal operation of other artificial wave-boosting equipment mounted on the carrying platform.

[0041] Preferably, according to one aspect of the present application, when the local water depth changes due to factors such as tides, precipitation, runoff and evaporation, the carrying platform can adapt to the new water depth by adjusting the state of the support pile, the buoy and the anchor. Therefore, the present application can adapt to water areas with changing water depths.

[0042] The working principle of the present application is that the bearing platform 1 is a specially designed rectangular multi-compartment floating box body, and the module type bionic power unit 3 is installed on the bearing platform 1. The module type bionic power unit 3 imitates the form of the movement of a sea snake in water by driving the flexible wave-making plate 4 through mechanical equipment, replaces the propeller, and pushes the device forward. Or after the device is fixed, the tail generates continuous waves. The bearing platform 1 is connected to the floating buoys 6 on the left and right sides below it through the connecting structure. The function of the floating buoys is similar to that of the swim bladder of fish. The device can be adjusted in water by filling water or inflating, so that the flexible wave-making plate 4 is in the most favorable working state: when driving, the flexible wave-making plate 4 is completely submerged in water; when assisting waves, the flexible wave-making plate 4 partially exposes the water surface. In addition to ensuring the rigid connection between the floating buoys 6 and the bearing platform 1, the connecting structure can also isolate the surrounding personnel and the driving components to ensure the safety of the surrounding personnel; the structure of the bearing platform and the two side floating buoys at the bottom is similar to that of a small water plane catamaran, which can resist the influence of sea waves when driving and working, and provide a more stable working environment. The bearing platform 1 is installed with vertical or inclined support piles 11 around it, which can be controlled to freely extend and retract. When assisting waves, the bottom end of the support pile 11 can be supported on the water bottom to ensure the relative fixation of the bearing platform 1; or when the device needs to move, the support pile 11 is pulled out of the water, and the bearing platform 1 is separated from the water bottom. The bearing platform 1 is also provided with an anchor 11A to help the device fix the position when it is parked or working; the bearing platform 1 is provided with a rudder 2 below the tail to adjust the direction when the device is driving. The bearing platform 1 is provided with a driving and working control room 8 for controlling the driving and working of the device.

[0043] The implementation method of the present application is further illustrated in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Figure 1For the overall structure of the embodiment of the present application, wherein the carrying platform 1 is composed of multiple watertight cabins floating on the water surface, and at least one rudder 2 is arranged below the tail thereof; the modular bionic power unit 3 is installed on the carrying platform 1; the flexible wave-making plate 4 is connected with the modular bionic power unit 3 through the driving rod 5 and extends at least partially below the carrying platform 1; the float 6 has at least two and is symmetrically connected to the left and right sides below the carrying platform 1 through the float connecting structure 7; the travel and operation control room 8 is installed on the carrying platform 1; the structure of the float 6 includes the bow 9 and the stern 10, both of which are semispherical or inverted pear-shaped to reduce the resistance during travel, and the float 6 can be adjusted to have upward buoyancy by controllable water filling or draining, helping the carrying platform 1 to be at a suitable working depth; the float connecting structure 7 used for connecting the float 6 and the support platform 1 can not only serve as rigid connection between the two, but also effectively isolate the movement space of the flexible wave-making plate 4 from the external water body, preventing personal injury caused by the personnel mistakenly entering the movement space of the flexible wave-making plate 4; the carrying platform 1 can be anchored to its working position by the anchor 11A and the support pile 11 during wave-aiding operation.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , the multiple driving rod working ports 12 of the carrying platform 1 are straight through from the upper layer of the carrying platform 1 to the bottom thereof, and the driving rod 5 extends from the upper layer to the bottom of the carrying platform 1 through these driving rod working ports 12, connecting the driving module on the upper layer with the flexible wave-making plate 4 on the bottom, so that the power from the driving module can push the flexible wave-making plate 4 through the driving rod 5 to move coordinately.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , the bottom structure of the carrying platform 1 is shown from a bottom view, from which the relative positions of the driving rods 5 and the installation of the flexible wave-making plate 4 can be seen. During work, the flexible wave-making plate 4 can move under the pushing of the driving rods 5 to imitate the movement form of a similar sea snake, helping the wave-driving device to travel.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4The shown modular bionic power unit system is combined by 12 serial driving modules and motors 13 connected at both ends thereof, the motor 13 is directly connected with a main shaft 16 through a shaft coupling 14 supported by a bearing 15, the main shaft 16 is connected with a crank connecting block 19 of each driving module to drive a sliding block 17 to slide in a sliding groove, and then drive a sliding groove connecting plate 18 to reciprocate under the restriction of a guide rail 20 and an axial bearing 21, so as to drive a driving rod 5 to push a flexible wave making plate 4 to move; in order to imitate the movement form of a sea snake, the phase angle difference of adjacent modules of the 12 driving modules is 360° / 12=30°, and the adjacent driving modules in two adjacent power units also follow this rule. In this way, when the power unit is started, the flexible wave making plate 4 can imitate the movement form of a sea snake to generate a thrust along the direction of the main shaft of the power unit, so as to drive the device to move and generate continuous high wave frequency waves.

[0048] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The working principle of the driving module is that the crank connecting block 19 is driven by the main shaft 16 to make a circular motion, drives the sliding block 17 to move up and down along the sliding groove, so as to drive the sliding groove connecting plate 18 to make a transverse reciprocating motion along the guide rail 20 under the support of the axial bearing 21, and then drive the driving rod 5 and the flexible wave making plate 4 connected therewith to move synchronously to push the water body to make waves. In order to prevent the driving rod 5 from being bent and deformed due to insufficient rigidity during movement, a triangular driving rod support plate 22 connected with the sliding groove connecting plate 18 is installed on both sides of the driving rod 5 to reinforce it.

[0049] According to one of the embodiments of the present application: the flexible wave making plate 4 is fixed in the gap between the two parallel driving rods 5. As shown in the figure, Figure 5

The number of driving modules of each modular bionic power unit 3 is usually 12, and should be not less than six and not more than 36.

[0052] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, a diesel or gasoline engine can be used to replace the motor 13 through a speed reducer as driving and wave assisting power.

[0053] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, a linear motor, a lead screw, an oil cylinder, a gas cylinder, a gear rack, a worm gear, etc. are used to replace the crank connecting rod mechanism in the present device to drive the driving rod to reciprocate.

[0054] ​According to one embodiment of the present application, all the immersed metal parts are painted or treated in other ways to prevent corrosion, and electrochemical anti-corrosion means such as submerged zinc blocks are implemented.
