Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater structure spatial stability diagnosis, and in particular to an underwater structure spatial stability diagnosis method based on three-dimensional through-scanning. Background Art

[0002] At present, the stability diagnosis of underwater structures mainly relies on the one-way profile scanning method. This method uses a shallow layer profiler to obtain horizontal or vertical profile data of the strata around the underwater structure along the survey line to evaluate the burial depth, sedimentary environment and surrounding geological characteristics. However, this technology has obvious shortcomings. First, one-way scanning can only provide local profile information and cannot fully reflect the three-dimensional state of the underwater structure. Especially in sea areas with large stratum fluctuations and complex sedimentary environments, it is easy to lead to inaccurate stability assessments. Secondly, key factors such as scouring, backlog and displacement of sediments around underwater structures are difficult to accurately identify through one-way scanning, which may lead to errors in stability judgment. In addition, existing methods rely on manual data interpretation, are easily affected by subjective factors, and lack intelligent analysis methods, which affects the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis.

[0044] S16. Compare the angle at point A with a preset threshold to determine the stability of the underwater structure.

[0045] In this embodiment, using a deep-buried submarine pipeline as an example, the ground depth of the target area (underwater structure) is measured based on the formula for acoustic two-way travel time and medium sound velocity. Based on the ground depth of the target area (underwater structure), the lateral settlement difference and longitudinal elevation deviation of the target area are calculated. The inclination angle between the horizontal axis and the horizontal plane and the angle between the vertical axis and the horizontal plane are calculated based on the lateral settlement difference and longitudinal elevation deviation, respectively. By understanding the angles between the horizontal and vertical axes and the horizontal plane, the orientation of the target area in three-dimensional space is determined, thereby determining the directions of the horizontal and vertical tangents. By determining the directions of the horizontal and vertical tangents, the intersection of the two tangents is determined. Based on the intersection and the coordinates of points B and C on the horizontal and vertical tangents, the angle at point A is calculated using the dot product formula. The angle at point A is compared with a preset threshold to diagnose the stability of the target area (underwater structure). For example, the stability of a submarine pipeline can be determined using this method.

[0048] Based on the point cloud dataset, a three-dimensional structure model is constructed using three-dimensional reconstruction technology.

[0049] In this embodiment, by merging point cloud data from different directions, the geometric features of underwater structures are captured more comprehensively, reducing data loss and errors. The merged point cloud dataset contains more detailed information, providing a data basis for the subsequent construction of a more detailed and realistic three-dimensional model.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, in step S12, based on the three-dimensional structure model and the formula of the two-way travel time of the acoustic wave and the medium sound velocity, the expression for obtaining the buried depth of the underwater structure is:

[0051]

[0052] in, is the depth of underwater structures (m, measured from the seabed surface), is the sound velocity in the sediment layer (m / s), which needs to be determined through on-site calibration or empirical values (e.g., about 1500 m / s for silt layers and 1700–1900 m / s for sand layers). is the round-trip time (s) of the sound wave from emission to reception.

[0056] In this embodiment, the core parameter values for uneven foundation settlement on both sides of the underwater structure's cross section are obtained based on the lateral settlement differential formula. Zleft and Zright represent the heights of the left and right sides of the pipeline, respectively. The lateral settlement differential of the underwater structure is calculated using the acoustic two-way traveltime formula. The DGPS elevation correction value is obtained using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) technology. For elevation measurement, DGPS uses differential technology to calibrate and improve GPS altimeters. This method uses the difference between the measured values of a reference station with known coordinates and the measured station to perform corrections. The corrected data can improve measurement precision and accuracy. The Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) utilizes differential technology based on GPS, enabling users to obtain higher precision from the GPS system. It offers advantages such as real-time, continuous, and high-precision measurement. DGPS technology uses a GPS receiver at a reference station with a known precise location to calculate the distance correction from the underwater structure to the satellite and transmit this correction to the user in real time or afterward.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment, in step S14, two longitudinal points are taken along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure based on the preset rules. ,set up As the initial point, the longitudinal elevation deviation is obtained by the buried depth of the underwater structure. The expression is:

[0062]

[0063] in, It is the value of a point along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure. It is obtained by integrating real-time water level monitoring data with DGPS elevation. is the longitudinal elevation deviation.

[0064] In this embodiment, based on the longitudinal elevation deviation calculation formula , take 2 longitudinal points along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure ,Will The vertical elevation deviation of the underwater structure is calculated using the acoustic two-way travel time formula as the initial point. Real-time water level monitoring data, measured and recorded in real time by equipment such as tide gauges and water level gauges, reflects the actual water level at different points in time. DGPS elevation data provides precise elevation information for the measurement point, i.e., its vertical distance relative to a reference datum. Because tidal correction values need to take into account both the actual water level at the measurement point and its elevation relative to the reference datum, real-time water level monitoring data is combined with DGPS elevation data to derive the tidal correction value.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, in step S14, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane is calculated based on the longitudinal elevation deviation, and the expression is:

[0066]

[0068] In this embodiment, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the pipeline and the horizontal plane is obtained based on the inclination angle θ formula.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, in step S15, the angle at point A is obtained by the dot product formula, which is expressed as:

[0070]

[0071] in, is the angle between the intersection point A of the horizontal and vertical tangent lines; is the vector between the intersection point A of the transverse and longitudinal tangent lines and any point B on the transverse tangent line, It is the vector between the intersection point A of the horizontal and vertical tangents and any point C on the vertical tangent line.

[0072] In this embodiment, the angle A between the transverse tangent line and the longitudinal tangent line is calculated to determine the degree of inclination of the entire underwater structure or a local section thereof.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment, in step S16, the angle at point A is compared with a preset threshold. If it is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the degree of inclination of the underwater structure has no effect on stability. If it is greater than the preset threshold, the degree of inclination of the underwater structure will affect stability.

[0074] In this embodiment, according to the standards and safety specifications of marine engineering, we set the preset threshold of the inclination angle of the underwater structure to 3 degrees. If the inclination angle of the underwater structure is less than or equal to 3 degrees, it is considered that the degree of inclination has no effect on stability.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
