Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of depth detection, and in particular to a matching device for improving the sonar depth measurement accuracy and a high-precision sonar depth measurement method. Background Art

[0002] The ocean underwater sonar detection system is composed of underwater sonar detectors, antennas, angle attitude indicators and deck control units. The common installation method is to use hemp ropes or ordinary extended connecting rods to tie or fix the sonar probe to one side of the ship and extend it underwater. However, ordinary extended connecting rods or rope bindings cannot be tightly combined with the hull. While the hull is shaking, the long connecting rod itself continues to shake, causing jitter errors in the detection results. The continuous impact of ocean currents often causes the sonar detector to tilt, deflect and shift. This distorts the positioning data and brings errors or even mistakes to the depth measurement work. In particular, ordinary connecting devices cannot guarantee the stability of the sonar probe under complex conditions such as high speed or high waves, which further affects the quality of underwater data and brings continuously increasing process errors to the depth measurement results.

[0003] During the measurement process, surveyors need to fix the antenna and angle attitude meter separately in the survey ship, and then measure the distance between the sonar detector, antenna and angle attitude meter in the same coordinate system in the XYZ directions to accurately calculate the sea terrain information and position information. Since the antenna and angle attitude meter are installed in the survey ship, the measurement accuracy of the distance between the sonar detector, antenna and angle attitude meter is difficult to guarantee, and the measurement difficulty increases with the increase of the survey ship's hull.

[0004] The angle attitude meter is used to record the attitude data of the sonar detector under navigation. The sonar transmitter located underwater shakes under the continuous erosion of the water flow. The position of the sonar transmitter relative to the angle attitude meter keeps changing, the attitude data error keeps accumulating, and the measurement error also increases accordingly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 and Fig. 9 The device shown is a supporting device for improving the accuracy of sonar sounding, which is installed on the side of a survey ship 1 and is used to install a sonar detector 2, an angle attitude meter 3 and an antenna 4. It includes a rod assembly 5, a connecting seat 6, a rope assembly, a rod stabilizer, a mounting frame 9 and a rotating pan-tilt head 10.

[0042] The rod assembly 5 is arranged in a vertical state and is fixedly connected to the survey ship 1 through the connection seat 6 and is placed on the side of the survey ship 1. The sonar detector 2 is installed at the bottom of the rod assembly 5, the antenna 4 is installed at the top of the rod assembly 5, and the angle attitude meter 3 is installed in the upper middle section of the rod assembly 5 and close to the antenna 4. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, unlike the prior art in which the angle attitude meter 3 is set at the center of gravity of the survey ship 1 (i.e., inside the cabin), the angle attitude meter 3 is directly installed on the rod assembly 5 and is located above the sonar measuring instrument, which makes it convenient for technicians to directly measure the distance between the angle attitude meter 3 and the sonar measuring instrument, and the measurement accuracy will not change due to the size of the survey ship 1 hull.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cable assembly has at least three cables, one end of all cables 7 is connected to the bottom of the rod assembly 5, and the other end is connected to the side of the survey ship 1. Since the sonar measuring instrument is installed at the bottom of the rod assembly 5 and is placed in the water when working, the sonar measuring instrument underwater will be washed by a large water flow (ocean current) during the navigation of the survey ship 1, which will cause the shaking of the lower rod body 5b, thereby causing the position of the sonar measuring instrument relative to the angle attitude meter 3 to change, causing distortion of the measurement data. By connecting the bottom of the rod assembly 5 to the side of the ship through at least three cables 7, the shaking of the lower rod body 5b during dynamic navigation measurement is greatly reduced, effectively avoiding distortion of the measurement data.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the rod stabilizer is arranged on the rod assembly 5 and is located above the connecting seat 6, and is used to connect the rod assembly 5 and the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1. The rod stabilizer cooperates with the connecting seat 6 to form a two-point fixed structure between the rod assembly 5 and the survey ship 1, because the simple connecting seat 6 can only realize the connection between the rod assembly 5 and the survey ship 1, and cannot ensure the stability of the connection between the rod assembly 5 and the survey ship 1. Because the antenna 4 is installed on the top of the rod assembly 5, in order to ensure the stability of the wireless signal, the rod assembly 5 is relatively long. If the rod assembly 5 and the survey ship 1 are only connected through the connecting seat 6, the longer rod assembly 5 will produce a large shake during the navigation process, that is, the part of the rod assembly 5 located above the connecting seat 6 will produce a large swing due to the swing of the survey ship 1 during the navigation process, the effect of wind force, etc., and then cause the angle attitude meter 3 installed on the rod assembly 5 to shake, which will lead to errors in the measurement data. The number of rod stabilizers installed can be increased according to actual needs, Figure 4 Two rod stabilizers are installed in the middle.

[0045] More specifically, the rod body stabilizer includes a first stabilizing block 8a, a second stabilizing block 8b, a double-headed screw 8c and a clamp 8d. The first stabilizing block 8a and the second stabilizing block 8b are both provided with threaded holes threadedly connected to the double-headed screw 8c. The first stabilizing block 8a and the second stabilizing block 8b are both provided with U-shaped notches for cooperating with the rod body assembly 5 or the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1. In the installed state, the clamp 8d is tightly clamped around the periphery of the rod body assembly 5 and the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1.

[0046] During the installation process, the first stabilizing block 8a and the second stabilizing block 8b are firstly threadedly connected to the two ends of the double-headed screw 8c respectively, and the distance between the first stabilizing block 8a and the second stabilizing block 8b is adjusted by rotating the first stabilizing block 8a or the second stabilizing block 8b relative to the double-headed screw 8c, and then the U-shaped notches of the first stabilizing block 8a and the second stabilizing block 8b are respectively matched with the rod body assembly 5 and the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1, and finally the rod body and the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1 are fastened by the clamp 8d.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting bracket 9 is disposed on the pole assembly 5 and is located above the pole stabilizer and is used to mount the angle attitude meter 3 .

[0048] More specifically, the mounting frame 9 is provided with a horizontal mounting plate 9a and a vertical mounting plate 9b perpendicular to the horizontal mounting plate 9a. The horizontal mounting plate 9a is used to install the angle attitude meter 3 and is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes 9a1. The vertical mounting plate 9b is used to connect with the rod body assembly 5 and is provided with a plurality of fourth mounting holes 9b1.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating platform 10 is installed at the bottom of the rod assembly 5, the sonar detector 2 is installed on the rotating platform 10, and the sonar detector 2 is installed on the rotating platform 10, and the rotating platform 10 provides at least two rotational degrees of freedom for the sonar detector 2. Specifically, the rotating platform 10 has a vertical rotation component 10a, a horizontal rotation component 10b and a connecting member 10c, the vertical rotation component 10a is connected to the bottom of the rod assembly 5 and has a vertical rotation axis coaxial with the rod assembly 5, the horizontal rotation component 10b is connected to the vertical rotation axis through the connecting member 10c and has a horizontal rotation axis perpendicular to the vertical rotation axis, the sonar detector 2 is installed at the end of the horizontal rotation axis, the rotating platform 10 is in the initialization state, the sonar detector 2 is on the axis of the vertical rotation axis and the detection end of the sonar detector 2 is vertically facing downward.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting seat 6 includes a horizontal connecting plate 6a and a vertical connecting plate 6b perpendicular to the horizontal connecting plate 6a. The horizontal connecting plate 6a is used to connect with the survey ship 1 and is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 6a1. The vertical connecting plate 6b is used to connect with the rod body assembly 5 and is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 6b1.

[0051] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal connecting plate 6a is provided with an avoidance notch 6a2 for avoiding the vertical railing 1a on the survey ship 1. The vertical connecting plate 6b is connected to the rod assembly 5 by a U-bolt. The vertical mounting plate 9b is connected to the rod assembly 5 by a U-bolt. The vertical mounting plate 9b is arranged perpendicularly to the horizontal mounting plate 9a and a reinforcing rib or a reinforcing side plate is arranged between the two. The vertical mounting plate 9b is arranged perpendicularly to the horizontal mounting plate 9a and a reinforcing rib or a reinforcing side plate is arranged between the two.

[0052] The rod assembly 5 is provided with scale lines along its length. Since the rod assembly 5 is provided with scale lines throughout, the distance between the position where the mounting bracket 9 is installed on the rod assembly 5 and the bottom of the rod assembly 5 can be converted into the distance between the angle attitude meter 3 and the sonar measuring instrument. Since the scale lines are provided, the distance between the angle attitude meter 3 and the sonar measuring instrument can be easily read and converted.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rod body assembly 5 is provided with a plurality of anti-rotation locking holes arranged along its length direction, and the vertical connecting plate 6b and the vertical mounting plate 9b are also provided with anti-rotation locking holes. The vertical connecting plate 6b and the vertical mounting plate 9b are both installed with locking bolts passing through the anti-rotation locking holes thereon and connected with the anti-rotation locking holes on the rod body assembly 5. The anti-rotation locking holes on the rod body assembly 5 are provided with internal threads matching with the locking bolts, and the anti-rotation locking holes of the vertical connecting plate 6b are smooth holes or threaded holes.

[0054] During the dynamic navigation measurement, since the rotating pan-tilt platform 10 is installed at the bottom of the rod assembly 5, the rod assembly 5 may rotate at a small angle around its axis under the action of water flow. Therefore, by setting an anti-rotation locking hole and retracting the locking bolt, the rod assembly 5 is prevented from rotating relative to the connecting seat 6, and the rod assembly 5 can be effectively prevented from slipping in the up-and-down direction relative to the connecting seat 6. Similarly, the relative rotation and relative movement of the mounting frame 9 relative to the rod assembly 5 can also be prevented, and the position change between the angle attitude meter 3 and the sonar detector 2 can be prevented.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the rod assembly 5 is a split rod structure, including an upper rod 5a and a lower rod 5b, the fixed rotating platform 10 is installed at the bottom of the lower rod 5b, and the top of the upper rod 5a is provided with an antenna 4 mounting rod 5c for mounting the antenna 4. More specifically, the bottom of the lower rod 5b is provided with a connecting plate 5b1 for mounting the rotating platform 10, and the lower rod 5b is also provided with a plurality of connecting rings 5b2 for connecting the cable 7.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable assembly has three cables 7, and three anchor points for fixing one end of the cables 7 are set on the side of the survey ship 1, two of which are on the same side of the survey ship 1, and the third is on the other side of the survey ship 1. Specifically, one end of the cable 7 is connected to the connecting ring 5b2 on the lower rod body 5b, and the other end is connected to the anchor point on the side of the ship. In order to ensure that the cable 7 is in a taut state, a fine-tuning bolt is set between the cable 7 and the anchor point.

[0057] A high-precision sonar depth measurement method is implemented by a matching device for improving the sonar depth measurement accuracy. The specific depth measurement method is as follows:

[0058] Step 1: Establish a carrier coordinate system (X, Y, Z) with the geometric center of the sonar detector 2 as the origin of the coordinate system; establish a local coordinate system (X, Y, Z) with the survey ship 1 as the center uu , Y uu , Z).

[0059] Step 2: Assume that the vertical angle between the moving direction of the survey ship 1 and the plane of the sonar detector 2 after the beam of the sonar detector 2 is θ0, and the slant distance in the θ0 direction is r; the rotation angle of the pan-tilt platform 10 in the carrier coordinate system (X, Y, Z) is (λδσ); the survey ship 1 in the local coordinate system (X uu , Y uu , Z) are the roll angle Rl, pitch angle Pt and heading angle Aw respectively.

[0060] Step 3: In the carrier coordinate system (X, Y, Z), the coordinates of the depth point q to be measured are (xq, yq, zq); the local coordinate system (X uu , Y uu , Z), the coordinates of the depth point q to be measured are corrected to (△Xat, △Yat, △Zat) by dynamic eccentricity correction, and the center of the angle attitude instrument 3 is in the local coordinate system (X uu , Y uu , Z) are (xa, ya, za); then, the expression of the precise coordinates (xuq, yuq, zuq) of the depth point q to be measured is:

[0061]
