Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine inclinometers, in particular to an inclination measuring method of a marine inclinometer. Background Art

[0002] Ships are important water transportation tools. The earliest ship appeared in the Stone Age - the canoe (a log hollowed out in the middle). Then, ships with oars and sails appeared, and later ships powered by steam or diesel engines appeared. Today, people use solar energy and jet engines as the power of ships. The speed of sailing is amazing, and the maximum speed can reach more than 500 kilometers per hour. Large ships propelled by machines are called steamships, and smaller ships are called boats (boats or boats). Early steamships were made of wood, with propellers on both sides or at the stern. The wheel with paddles is turned by manpower, and the paddles push water backwards to make the boat move forward. Nowadays, the hulls of ships are mostly made of metal, powered by engines, and use propellers. All hulls are hollow, so they are light and can float on the water. The anchor is generally located at the bow, and there are also anchors at the front and back, while the propeller is always installed at the stern. During the voyage, the ship needs to detect its inclination at all times, but the detection results of the existing inclinometer are not ideal, which brings inconvenience to people's use. For this reason, we propose a ship inclinometer and a method for measuring inclinometer. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring inclination of a marine inclinometer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for measuring inclination of a marine inclinometer, the method comprising the following steps:

[0005] A. The tilt sensor is tested once every 100 milliseconds and continuously tested for 4 seconds to obtain 40 data, and the tilt sensor data is read through the display (11);

[0006] B. Calculate the swing period, swing amplitude and average inclination;

[0007] C. Filter outliers;

[0008] D. In the initial state, just after the machine is turned on, if the sampling number is lower than a certain threshold, no data will be displayed;

[0009] The step B comprises: ①, querying the zero crossing point (the next data of the zero crossing point is 0 or the positive or negative value changes), the 900th millisecond 6, the 1900th millisecond -2, the 2900th millisecond 1 and the 3800th millisecond -1 are the zero crossing points; ②, the swing period is equal to the average of the difference between adjacent zero crossing points multiplied by 2, that is: {(1900-900) + (2900-1900) + (3800-2900)} / 3*2=1933.3 milliseconds; ③, swing amplitude calculation: the average value of the absolute value between the zero crossing points minus the maximum value; ④, average inclination: the average value of the sampling values ​​in each fixed period;

[0010] In step C, due to the influence of environmental factors such as waves and wind, the change in the ship's inclination angle will not be as ideal as the above detection value, but many abnormal values ​​will appear. Therefore, there are two methods, and the results of the two methods are not exactly the same: 1. Filter abnormal zero crossing points: there are 4 zero crossing points, 1200 milliseconds 8 is determined to be abnormal, and the reason is that it should continuously increase or decrease after the zero crossing; 1400 milliseconds 3 is determined to be abnormal, and the filtering basis is that it should continuously increase or decrease after the zero crossing; 1600 milliseconds 1 is normal; 2900 milliseconds -1 is normal; 2. Filter abnormal points: -2, 1, -7, -5, -17, 21 are abnormal points, and the filtering basis is that the abnormal points affect the continuous increase or decrease of the array; after removing the abnormal points, that is, do not use the sampling values ​​at these moments, and then judge the zero crossing to obtain: 1400 milliseconds 3, 2900 milliseconds -1; the values ​​after the above moments and the abnormal points all represent the detected inclination angle values ​​of the ship, in degrees, and the detailed charts refer to the attached manual Figure 3-6 .
