Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underwater vehicle testing and measurement, and in particular relates to a flow-induced vibration noise testing device and method based on a circulating water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional circulating water tanks are unsuitable for measuring the vibration and noise of underwater vehicles due to their complex structure, applicability only to small-scale models, and inability to adjust the model's angle of attack. During experimental measurements, vibrations from the model's fixing devices are transmitted to the circulating water tank, leading to significant errors in the measurement results. Furthermore, traditional reverberation tanks are primarily used to measure the mechanical noise of underwater vehicles, but cannot measure the vibration and noise generated by structures under turbulent pressure excitation, nor can they measure larger-scale vehicles. Therefore, designing an experimental device capable of measuring both the drag and strain of underwater vehicles, as well as their vibration and noise, is of great significance for the study of flow-induced vibration and noise problems.

[0003] A review of existing literature and patents revealed a scarcity of research on vibration and noise testing in circulating water tanks. Related to this invention is a flow-induced noise testing device for airfoil structures based on circulating water tanks. This device uses a fixed section on the circulating water tank to mount the test piece and adjusts the angle of attack of the airfoil structure via an angle-of-attack adjustment device. However, compared to this patent, the angle-of-attack adjuster of this device is only applicable to airfoil structures, and it cannot measure the flow-induced noise of the test device. Another invention is a flow-induced noise measurement device for underwater vehicles based on gravity tunnels. This device fixes the experimental device to the working section of the gravity tunnel, with a reverberation tank installed outside the working section. It can measure the flow-induced noise of the reverberation tank. Noise can be deduced from the flow-induced noise of underwater vehicles. Compared with this patent, this device cannot adjust the angle of attack of the measurement model and can only measure fully enclosed underwater vehicles, not the underwater noise of surface ships. At the same time, due to the characteristics of gravity-type water tunnels, it cannot measure the noise of vehicles in low-speed flow. There is also a new type of active vibration reduction low-noise flow-induced vibration noise test device. This device uses a movable trailer and vibration measurement device installed on a towed pool to measure the vibration characteristics of a large-scale model. Compared with this patent, this device cannot measure flow-induced noise, and because the trailer needs to move continuously during the test, the background vibration has a greater impact on the test measurement results.

[0004] In summary, there are significant differences between the currently published literature and patents and this invention, and there is currently no experimental device capable of simultaneously measuring flow-induced vibration and noise. Therefore, this invention proposes a novel flow-induced vibration and noise measurement device based on a circulating water tank. Summary of the Invention

A lead screw is fitted with a lead screw nut, and the lifting rod is mounted on the lead screw nut. The lower end of the lifting rod passes through the mounting platform and is connected to the test model via a universal joint. The lifting transmission assembly also includes a guide component for the up-and-down movement of the lead screw nut.

[0016] Furthermore, the universal joint can perform six degrees of freedom motion.

The vertical movement of the test model is controlled by the lifting rods installed at the front and rear ends of the test model 45. The front and rear lifting rods are independently controlled, which allows the test model 45 to freely adjust the angle of attack. When used in conjunction with the flow velocity sensing sensor 11, it can realize the measurement of the vibration and sound radiation characteristics of the model under different angles of attack and flow velocities.

[0054] The signal acquisition device 16 includes a command sending unit, a signal acquisition unit, and a data storage unit.

[0055] The hydrophone is installed inside the reverberation tank 2, and the pressure sensor, acceleration sensor, and strain gauge are all installed inside the test model 45. It can measure multiple physical quantities simultaneously without interference between the sensors. During the test, the command sending unit sends commands to each sensor, sets the sensor sensitivity, and records data. The signal acquisition unit transmits the acquired time-domain signal to the data storage unit through the signal transmission line and can perform real-time processing.

Their specific structural composition and working principles will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The reverberation water tank 2 includes a tank body, with a water inlet at the top and a drain outlet at the bottom. The inner wall of the tank body is covered with sound-absorbing wedges 8, and the top of the tank body has an opening for supporting the working section of the circulating water tank 1.

[0057] The propeller of the circulating water tank 1 is mounted on the wall of the circulating water tank 1 via bearings, and a drive motor 41 is installed externally. The first and third rectification sections are annular sections, and the second rectification section is a straight section. The rectification grid includes a flat guide plate 6 and an annular guide plate 7. The flat guide plate 6 is arranged in the second rectification section, and the annular guide plate 7 is arranged in both the first and third rectification sections. The flow direction of the fluid in the circulating water tank is adjusted by the shape guidance method.

[0058] The electric lifting mechanism includes a drive motor 41, a lifting transmission assembly 42, and a lifting rod 43. The drive motor 41 is connected to the mounting platform 46 by bolts.

[0059] The universal joint 44 can perform six degrees of freedom of movement. When measuring the fixed angle of attack, the two universal joints 44 at the front and rear of the test model 45 are locked to fix the model in the designated position. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of attack, the two universal joints 44 at the front and rear of the model are opened, and the length of the lifting rod 43 is adjusted by the electric lifting mechanism located at the head of the test model 45 to adjust the test model 45 to the designated angle of attack and lock the universal joint 44 to fix the position of the test model 45.

The connecting pipe above the model is provided with a protrusion, and the test model 45 is fixed by the cooperation of the protrusion and the slot.

[0061] Vibration isolation pads 14 are installed between the circulating water tank slide rail 12 and the mounting platform 46 to prevent vibration transmission between the mounting platform and the circulating water tank, effectively reducing vibration transmission between different areas and minimizing test errors. Vibration isolation pads 14 are also installed between the circulating water tank 1 and the reverberation tank 2 to prevent vibration from the circulating water tank from being transmitted to the reverberation tank. Sound insulation plates are installed on the outer wall of the power section of the circulating water tank 1 to effectively isolate the noise of the propeller and drive motor, reducing noise measurement test errors. The observation window 10 is installed in the middle area of ​​the working section by bolts and glass glue. The observation window is made of tempered glass with good projection performance.

[0062] A flow velocity sensor is installed at the initial position of the working section of the circulating water tank, where a vibration isolation device is installed at the connection point. This sensor measures the inflow velocity at the inlet of the working section in real time, providing parameters for numerical simulation and reducing the error of the test results. The pressure sensor and vibration acceleration sensor are installed inside the model, and the hydrophone is arranged at a designated position in the reverberation tank. The collected signals are converted into electrical signals by a signal processor and stored in the data storage unit.
