Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wave glider detection equipment, in particular to a test system and method for dynamic sealing of a wave glider underwater turning device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A wave glider is a new type of offshore unmanned platform driven by waves and powered by solar energy. The wave glider is composed of a water surface boat body and an underwater glider, and the water surface boat body and the underwater glider are connected by a flexible umbilical cable. The water surface boat body is mostly floating on the water surface, while the underwater glider functions to convert vertical motion into horizontal motion to drag the water surface boat body forward and achieve the turning function through the turning device at the tail. Therefore, the underwater glider needs to work underwater, and when encountering severe sea conditions, the water surface boat body may be submerged 1-2 meters underwater. The underwater glider works in a water depth of 7-8 meters underwater, and the turning device must have a sealing design requirement for working in a water depth of more than 10 meters. Therefore, both the underwater glider and the water surface boat body need to be sealed.

[0003] The existing sealing forms of the wave glider include static sealing and dynamic sealing. Because the water surface boat body is mostly floating on the water surface, it is only possible to be submerged 1-2 meters underwater when encountering severe sea conditions. Therefore, the equipment cabin and the battery cabin on the water surface boat body only need to be designed for static sealing in a water depth of 2 meters. However, the underwater glider works in a water depth of 7-8 meters underwater, and the turning device must have a sealing design requirement for working in a water depth of more than 10 meters. Moreover, the turning device moves in water, so the turning device adopts dynamic sealing.

[0004] The strength of the dynamic sealing depends on the sealing performance of the sealing test piece, which includes a main shaft, a rotating sealing structure, and a rudder piece connected to one end of the main shaft. The main shaft passes through the rotating sealing structure. The sealing test piece relies on the rotating sealing structure to ensure sealing performance. Therefore, researchers use different sealing design methods to design the internal structure of the rotating sealing structure. To obtain the sealing performance of the designed sealing test piece, a sealing test needs to be conducted.

[0005] The existing sealing test methods for the turning device mainly include pressure cylinder water tightness test, pool test, or sea test under real conditions. However, the existing test methods have certain problems:

[0006] 1. The pressure cylinder water tightness test can only statically test the pressure resistance of the steering device. The pressure cylinder used in the pressure cylinder water tightness test is a fully enclosed container. If the equipment needs to be tested with electricity inside the pressure cylinder, a cable needs to be passed through the pressure cylinder and connected to an external power source. However, when the pressure inside the pressure cylinder is high, there is a risk of air leakage and safety issues at the cable hole. Therefore, the steering device cannot be tested with electricity, and the simulation is poor.

[0007] 2. Pool tests can only simulate certain water depth conditions and are complex and costly to operate, and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to different designs;

[0008] 3. Sea trials under real-world conditions require placing the wave glider in a real sea area that meets the sea conditions. This is costly, extremely dangerous, and data collection is difficult, making it impossible to effectively quantify the sealing performance.

[0009] Existing sealing test methods for steering devices have certain problems, which to some extent prevent them from effectively quantifying the sealing performance of the test specimens. Furthermore, they suffer from low test accuracy, high test costs, and low test efficiency.

[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dynamic sealing test system for the underwater steering device of wave gliders, which can effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealing specimen, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the test, and reduce the test cost. This will enable users to fully understand the sealing performance and service life of the wave glider before it goes to sea, thereby reducing the risk of loss of the wave glider and the risk of personnel going to sea. Summary of the Invention

[0011] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a test system for the dynamic sealing of the underwater steering device of a wave glider, which can effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealing specimen, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the test, and reduce the test cost, so that users can fully understand the sealing performance and service life of the wave glider before it goes to sea, thereby reducing the risk of loss of the wave glider and the risk of personnel going to sea.

[0012] The present invention provides a basic solution one: a test system for dynamic sealing of an underwater steering device for wave gliders, used to test sealed specimens, comprising:

[0013] Watertight test chamber and pressure cylinder;

[0014] The pressure cylinder is equipped with an observation window;

[0015] The watertightness test chamber is housed inside a pressure cylinder, and a warning device is installed on the watertightness test chamber.

[0016] The watertight test chamber includes a control chamber and several test chambers; the test chambers are located on the side of the control chamber, and a through hole is provided between the test chambers and the control chamber.

[0017] The liquid detection device is connected with the indicating device, and is used for triggering the prompting device to give a prompt when liquid is detected.

[0018] The test cabin is provided with a sealing test piece mounting hole and a sealing device on the side surface. The rotary sealing mechanism of the sealing test piece is sealed and mounted in the sealing test piece mounting hole through the sealing device. The rudder blade of the sealing test piece is located outside the test cabin.

[0019] The control cabin is provided with a steering power output device. The steering power output device comprises a plurality of power output shafts. The power output shafts are connected with one end of the main shaft of the sealing test piece in the test cabin through the through hole, and the through hole is provided with a rotary sealing device.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the first basic scheme are as follows: first, according to the test requirements, the rotary sealing mechanism of the sealing test piece is sealed and mounted in the sealing test piece mounting hole through the sealing device on the side surface of the corresponding test cabin. The rudder blade of the sealing test piece is located outside the test cabin. The power output shafts are connected with one end of the main shaft of the sealing test piece in the test cabin through the through hole, so as to provide steering power for the sealing test piece. The through hole is provided with a rotary sealing device to prevent water from entering the control cabin through the through hole and causing damage to the steering power output device in the control cabin during the test. According to the test requirements, a plurality of sealing test pieces can be installed at the same time to meet the requirements of comparative test of multiple sealed test pieces or multiple sealing designs at the same time.

[0021] Then, according to the test requirements, water is added in the pressure cylinder and the pressure in the pressure cylinder is controlled to simulate the pressure of the water depth where the sealing test piece is located under real sea conditions. The steering power output device is started to provide steering power for the sealing test piece. At the same time, the steering power output device is also used to control the swing of the rudder blade in the sealing test piece, so as to simulate the sealing performance of the sealing test piece of the wave glider steering device in the dynamic rotation process under water. Compared with sea test, it is more convenient and avoids the occurrence of various uncertain events in normal sea test.

[0022] Finally, through the observation window arranged on the pressure cylinder, the oscillation of the rudder and the prompting of the prompting device are observed and recorded. Since the test cabin is provided with a liquid detection device connected with the indicating device, if there is a problem in the sealing performance of the sealing test piece, water will enter the test cabin, so that the liquid detection device will detect the liquid and trigger the prompting device to prompt, so that whether the test cabin is filled with water can be judged according to whether the prompting device prompts. The user can analyze the sealing performance of the sealing test piece according to the obtained oscillation of the rudder and the prompting of the prompting device, and the oscillation of the rudder and the prompting of the prompting device can be quantified, so as to effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealing test piece. By adjusting the pressure of the pressure cylinder, the steering power output device controls the oscillation of the rudder in the sealing test piece, etc., the performance parameters such as the rotation angle, pressure resistance and service life required by the sealing test piece can be studied separately.

[0023] The system can discover and handle problems in the test process in time, avoid the loss of the wave glider due to problems or failures in the sea test process, reduce the risk of equipment loss and personnel sea risk, and improve the test efficiency in the research and development process.

[0024] In summary, the scheme can effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealing test piece, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the test, reduce the test cost, provide valuable test data for the sealing test piece and its design method, perfect the theoretical model, and judge the sailing ability of the wave glider in various sea conditions, so that the user can fully master the sealing performance and service life of the wave glider before it goes to sea, and reduce the risk of loss of the wave glider and personnel sea risk.

[0034] Further, the rotating sealing device comprises an oil seal and a bearing.

[0035] Beneficial effects: The rotating sealing device comprises an oil seal and a bearing, which not only ensures the rotation of the power output shaft, but also plays a sealing role to prevent water from entering the control cabin when the test cabin is filled with water, thereby preventing the damage of the devices in the control cabin.

[0049] The second purpose of the application is to provide a test method for dynamic sealing of a wave glider underwater steering device.

[0050] The application provides a second basic scheme: a test method for dynamic sealing of a wave glider underwater steering device, which adopts the test system for dynamic sealing of the wave glider underwater steering device and comprises the following contents:

[0051] S1, formulating a test standard according to experimental requirements;

[0052] S2, installing a sealing test piece into the test system according to the test standard;

[0053] S3, starting the steering power output device, injecting water into the pressure cylinder to a level higher than the top surface of the water-tight test box;

[0054] S4, preliminarily checking whether the rudder swing is normal, and if yes, performing S5;

[0055] S5, fixing and sealing the pressure cylinder, and starting the pressure cylinder to regulate the pressure in the pressure cylinder to a preset target range;

[0056] S6, obtaining the running condition of the sealing test piece, wherein the running condition comprises the indication device running condition and the rudder swing condition;

[0057] S7, judging whether the indication device indicates or the rudder swing condition is abnormal according to the running condition, and if yes, performing S8, and if not, performing S11.

[0058] S8, close the pressure cylinder, troubleshoot, determine whether there is a fault, if so, perform S9; if not, perform S10;

[0059] S9, troubleshoot and perform S1;

[0060] S10, determine that the sealing test piece does not meet the test standard;

[0061] S11, determine that the sealing test piece meets the test standard.

[0062] The beneficial effects of the second basic scheme: the method adopts the above-mentioned wave glider underwater turning device dynamic sealing test system,

[0063] First, according to the experimental requirements, the test standard is formulated, and according to the test standard, the sealing test piece is installed into the test system, that is, on the side of the corresponding test cabin, the rotating sealing mechanism of the sealing test piece is sealed and installed in the sealing test piece installation hole through the sealing device, and the rudder of the sealing test piece is located outside the test cabin. The power output shaft passes through the through hole and is connected with one end of the main shaft of the sealing test piece in the test cabin to provide turning power for the sealing test piece, and the through hole is provided with a rotating sealing device to prevent water from entering the control cabin through the through hole during the test process., causing damage to the turning power output device in the control cabin; the system can install several sealing test pieces at the same time, meeting the requirements of simultaneous comparison test of multiple sealed test pieces or multiple sealing designs;

[0064] Then start the turning power output device to provide turning power for the sealing test piece, and also control the swing of the rudder in the sealing test piece through the turning power output device, so as to simulate the sealing performance of the wave glider turning device sealing test piece in the underwater dynamic rotation process. Compared with sea trial, it is more convenient, and various uncertain events in normal sea trial are avoided; water is injected into the pressure cylinder to the top surface of the water-tight test box, and preliminary inspection is carried out to determine whether the swing of the rudder is normal, if so, subsequent test is carried out, which guarantees the accuracy of the subsequent test and also reduces the possibility of disassembling the pressure cylinder after fixing the seal;

[0065] Then fix the seal of the pressure cylinder and start the pressure cylinder to regulate the pressure in the pressure cylinder to the preset target range to simulate the pressure of the water depth where the sealing test piece is located in the real sea state;

[0066] Finally, the running condition of the sealed test piece is obtained, that is, the swinging condition of the rudder and the prompting condition of the prompting device are observed and recorded through the observation window arranged on the pressure cylinder. Because the liquid detection device is arranged in the test cabin and is connected with the indicating device, if the sealing performance of the sealed test piece has a problem, water will enter the test cabin, so the liquid detection device will detect the liquid and trigger the prompting device to prompt, so whether the test cabin is filled with water can be judged according to whether the prompting device prompts. The user can analyze the sealing performance of the sealed test piece according to the obtained swinging condition of the rudder and the prompting condition of the prompting device, and the swinging condition of the rudder and the prompting condition of the prompting device can be quantified, so the sealing performance of the sealed test piece can be effectively quantified. By adjusting the pressure of the pressure cylinder, the steering power output device controls the swinging of the rudder in the sealed test piece, and the performance parameters such as the rotation angle, pressure resistance and service life required by the sealed test piece can be studied separately. Specifically, according to the running condition, it is judged whether the indicating device indicates or the rudder swinging condition is abnormal; if yes, S8 is executed; if no, S11 is executed; S8, the pressure cylinder is closed, and fault diagnosis is performed to judge whether there is a fault; if yes, S9 is executed; if no, S10 is executed; S9, the fault is eliminated, and S1 is executed; S10, it is judged that the sealed test piece does not meet the test standard; S11, it is judged that the sealed test piece meets the test standard, so the test is completed.

[0067] The present scheme performs S4, S8 and S9, which facilitates the discovery and timely processing of faults during the test process, and the system used can also discover and process problems in a timely manner during the test process, avoiding the loss of the wave glider due to problems or faults during the sea test, reducing the risk of equipment loss and personnel sea risk, and improving the test efficiency in the research and development process.

[0068] In summary, the present scheme can effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealed test piece, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the test, reduce the test cost, provide valuable test data for the sealed test piece and its design method, perfect the theoretical model, and judge the sailing ability of the wave glider in various sea conditions, so that the user can fully master the sealing performance and service life of the wave glider before it goes to sea, thereby reducing the risk of loss of the wave glider and personnel sea risk.

[0069] Further, the test standard includes the sealing design principle of the sealed test piece, the number of sealed test pieces, the rudder rotation angle, the test water depth, the test water pressure and the test time.

[0070] The error between the test water depth and the test water pressure and the water depth and the water pressure in the water area where the sealed test piece is located in the actual sea test is within a preset error range;

[0071] The test time is adjusted by adjusting the swinging frequency of the rudder.

[0072] Beneficial effects: The test standards include the sealing design principle of the sealed test piece, the number of sealed test pieces, the rudder rotation angle, the test water depth, the test water pressure and the test time, not only the sealing performance of the sealed test piece can be obtained, but also the performance parameters such as the rotation angle, the pressure resistance and the service life that the sealed test piece needs to meet can be studied. The error between the test water depth and the test water pressure and the water depth and the water pressure of the water area where the sealed test piece is located in the actual sea test is within the preset error range, so as to improve the authenticity of simulation and the accuracy of test.

[0073] Further, the S4 further comprises: if no, performing S8.

[0074] Beneficial effects: Preliminary inspection is performed before the pressure cylinder is fixed and sealed, so as to judge whether the rudder swing is normal, if not, troubleshooting is performed, so as to prevent the influence on the determination result of whether the sealed test piece meets the test standards.

[0102] The water-tight test box 2 is fixedly installed on the rack 3, the pressure-resistant battery cabin 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rack 3, and the pressure-resistant battery cabin 4 is connected with the cabin-penetrating connector 213 on the control cabin 203 through a waterproof cable; in addition, the water pressure resistance of the pressure-resistant battery cabin 4 is higher than the water depth pressure in the test standard.

[0103] The specific implementation process is as follows: first, according to the test requirements, the rotating sealing mechanism of the sealed test piece 1 is sealed and installed in the sealed test piece 1 installation hole through the sealing device on the side of the corresponding test cabin 201, and the rudder piece 103 of the sealed test piece 1 is located outside the test cabin 201, the power output shaft is connected with one end of the main shaft 102 of the sealed test piece 1 in the test cabin 201 through the through hole, so as to provide steering power for the sealed test piece 1, and the through hole is provided with a rotating sealing device, so as to prevent water from entering the control cabin 203 through the through hole and causing damage to the steering power output device in the control cabin 203 during the test; according to the test requirements, a plurality of sealed test pieces 1 can be installed at the same time to meet the requirements of comparative test of multiple sealed test pieces or multiple sealing designs at the same time.

[0104] Then according to the test requirements, water is added in the pressure cylinder 5 and the pressure in the pressure cylinder 5 is controlled to simulate the pressure of the water depth where the sealing test piece 1 is located in the real sea condition, and the steering power output device is started to provide steering power for the sealing test piece 1, and at the same time, the swinging of the rudder 103 in the sealing test piece 1 is also controlled through the steering power output device, so as to simulate the sealing performance of the wave glider steering device sealing test piece 1 in the process of dynamic rotation under water. Compared with sea test, it is more convenient and avoids the occurrence of various uncertain events in normal sea test.

[0105] Finally, through the observation window arranged on the pressure cylinder 5, the swinging of the rudder 103 and the prompting of the prompting device are observed and recorded. Because the test cabin 201 is provided with a liquid detection device connected with the indicating device, if the sealing performance of the sealing test piece 1 has a problem, water will enter the test cabin 201, so that the liquid detection device will detect the liquid and trigger the prompting device to prompt, so that whether the test cabin 201 is filled with water can be judged according to whether the prompting device prompts. The user can analyze the sealing performance of the sealing test piece 1 according to the obtained swinging of the rudder 103 and the prompting of the prompting device, and the swinging of the rudder 103 and the prompting of the prompting device can be quantified, so as to effectively quantify the sealing performance of the sealing test piece 1. By adjusting the pressure of the pressure cylinder 5 and controlling the swinging of the rudder 103 in the sealing test piece 1 through the steering power output device, the performance parameters such as the rotation angle, pressure resistance and service life required by the sealing test piece 1 can be studied separately.

[0106] The system can discover and handle problems in the process of test, avoid the loss caused by problems or failures of the wave glider in the process of sea test, reduce the risk of equipment loss and personnel sea risk, and improve the test efficiency in the process of research and development.
