Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0022] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the monitoring process of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a monitoring process for an offshore wind power suction jacket foundation grouting system, the monitoring process comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1: Build a scaled plexiglass model of the jacket and simulate the grouting process;

[0026] S2: Observe the self-compacting and self-leveling properties of underwater grouting materials;

[0027] S3: Observe the scouring characteristics of underwater grouting materials on sediment;

[0028] S4: Observe the water dispersion resistance of the jacket grouting material;

[0029] S5: Conduct simulated sampling test on overflow materials filled with overflow slurry underwater;

[0030] S6: testing the sample taken out in step S5 to test its hardening characteristics.

[0031] Specifically, step S2 is as follows:

[0032] Observe the organic glass scale model manually and with a camera. If the grouting material is observed to self-level from one side of the grouting port to the other side, the grouting material has self-leveling properties.

[0033] When the grouting material is full, it can be observed through the glass. If there are no pores in the grouting material, it has the characteristics of self-compacting.

[0034] Specifically, the observation of the self-compacting of the underwater grouting material in step S2 also includes the following steps: underwater ultrasonic detection is used based on the principle of vertical reflection of stress waves. During the detection, the surface of the organic glass scale model generates multi-order harmonic signals under the action of impact. A part of the stress wave diffuses and propagates along the surface of the model, and another part of the energy penetrates the model and propagates toward the grouting material. At the interface between the model and the grouting material, or the interface between the model and the water, the stress wave will generate multiple reflected waves of different intensities. The mutual superposition of the multiple reflected waves changes the vibration energy of the particles. Therefore, the difference in the wave energy reflects the structural difference of the suction cylinder and whether there are defects such as non-compactness.

[0035] Specifically, step S3 is as follows: during the production process of the organic glass scale model, a sensor is attached to the surface of the organic glass scale model that contacts the grouting slurry, and the physical quantities such as strain stress, bending moment, torque, acceleration, and displacement measured by the sensor are recorded. When the measured physical quantity acts on the elastic element, the deformation of the elastic element causes the resistance value of the sensitive element to change, which is converted into an electrical output by the conversion circuit. The magnitude of the electrical change reflects the magnitude of the measured physical quantity. The strain sensor can measure physical quantities such as strain stress, bending moment, torque, acceleration, and displacement, and after the grouting body hardens, the data tested by the sensor can also reflect the state between the hardened slurry and the steel pipe. Finally, the finite element software is used to numerically simulate the scouring characteristics of the sediment in the suction pile foundation barrel, so that requirements for the grouting material density and grouting speed can be put forward according to the working conditions of the sediment in different foundation barrels.

[0036] Specifically, the sensor is composed of an elastic element and a resistance strain sensitive element, and the resistance strain sensitive element is pasted on the elastic element.

[0037] Specifically, step S4 is as follows: manually and with a camera to observe the organic glass scale model. During the grouting process, the grouting material first displaces the seawater in the organic glass scale model through the overflow port. If the displaced seawater is clear and not turbid, it indicates that the grouting material has good anti-water dispersion performance. At the same time, the movement process of the grouting material in the suction cylinder can be intuitively displayed, and the lifting and drainage process of the grouting material can be simulated, thereby verifying the feasibility of large-scale and long-term underwater grouting construction.

[0038] Specifically, step S5 is as follows: when it is observed that the organic glass scale model is filled with overflowing grout, a sampling tube is manually connected to the overflow port, the other end of the sampling tube is connected to a suction pump, the valve in the sampling tube is opened, and the overflowed grouting material passes through the sampling tube into the sample bin, the sample bin is connected to a discharge port, the water in the bin will be gradually replaced by the grouting material, and when the discharge port begins to evenly overflow the grouting material, the discharge tube valve is closed, and then the valve in the sampling tube is closed; the sampling tube is disassembled from the overflow pipe of the organic glass scale model, the storage barrel cover is opened, and the taken grouting material is poured out for relevant experimental testing.

[0039] Specifically, step S6 is as follows: detecting and recording the compressive strength parameters of the taken samples at 1d / 3d / 7d / 28d, and then using finite element software to numerically simulate the effect of grouting material hardening on the bearing capacity of the suction pile foundation, thereby putting forward requirements for the strength of the grouting material.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] S1: Build a scaled plexiglass model of the jacket and simulate the grouting process;

[0042] S2: Observing the self-compacting and self-leveling properties of the underwater grouting material. Step S2 specifically comprises: observing the organic glass scale model manually and with a camera device. If the grouting material is observed to self-level from one side of the grouting port to the other side, the grouting material has self-leveling properties.

[0043] Through the glass, it can be observed that the grouting material is full. If there are no pores in the grouting material, it has the characteristics of self-compacting. At the same time, underwater ultrasonic testing is used based on the vertical reflection principle of stress waves. During the test, the surface of the organic glass scale model generates multi-order harmonic signals under the action of impact. Part of the stress wave diffuses and propagates along the surface of the model, and the other part of the energy penetrates the model and propagates to the grouting material. At the interface between the model and the grouting material, or the interface between the model and the water, the stress wave will generate multiple reflected waves of different intensities. The mutual superposition of multiple reflected waves changes the vibration energy of the particles. Therefore, the difference in wave energy reflects the structural difference of the suction cylinder and whether there are defects such as non-compactness.

[0044] S3: Observe the scouring characteristics of underwater grouting materials on sediment; during the production of the organic glass scale model, a sensor is attached to the surface of the organic glass scale model in contact with the grouting slurry, and the strain stress, bending moment, torque, acceleration, displacement and other physical quantities measured by the sensor are recorded. When the measured physical quantity acts on the elastic element, the deformation of the elastic element causes the resistance value of the sensitive element to change, which is converted into an electrical output through the conversion circuit. The magnitude of the electrical change reflects the magnitude of the measured physical quantity. Strain sensors can measure physical quantities such as strain stress, bending moment, torque, acceleration, displacement, and after the grouting body hardens, the sensor test data can also reflect the state between the hardened slurry and the steel pipe. Finally, finite element software is used to numerically simulate the scouring characteristics of sediment in the suction pile foundation barrel, so that requirements for grouting material density and grouting speed can be put forward according to the working conditions of sediment in different foundation barrels. The sensor is composed of an elastic element and a resistive strain sensitive element, and the resistive strain sensitive element is attached to the elastic element.

[0045] S4: Observe the water-dispersion resistance of the jacket grouting material. Specifically, observe the organic glass scale model manually and with a camera. During the grouting process, the grouting material first displaces the seawater in the organic glass scale model through the overflow port. If the displaced seawater is clear and not turbid, it indicates that the grouting material has good water-dispersion resistance. The movement of the grouting material in the suction cylinder can also be visually demonstrated. The lifting and drainage process of the grouting material is simulated to verify the feasibility of large-scale, long-term underwater grouting construction.

[0046] S5: Conduct a simulated sampling test on the overflow material filled with grout underwater. Specifically, S5 is as follows: after observing that the organic glass scale model is filled with overflowing grout, manually connect a sampling tube to the overflow port, connect the other end of the sampling tube to the suction pump, open the valve in the sampling tube, and let the overflowed grouting material enter the sample bin through the sampling tube. The sample bin is connected to a discharge port, and the water in the bin will be gradually replaced by the grouting material. When the discharge port begins to evenly overflow the grouting material, close the discharge tube valve, and then close the valve in the sampling tube; disassemble the sampling tube from the overflow tube of the organic glass scale model, open the storage barrel cover, and pour out the taken grouting material for relevant experimental tests;

[0047] S6: Test the samples taken out in step S5 to test their hardening characteristics. Specifically, S6 includes: testing and recording the compressive strength parameters of the taken out samples at 1d / 3d / 7d / 28d, and then using finite element software to numerically simulate the effect of grouting material hardening on the bearing capacity of the suction pile foundation, thereby putting forward requirements for the strength of the grouting material.
