[0031] Embodiment

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application mainly consists of an attack angle adjustment module, a locking module and a torsional stiffness adjustment module.

[0033] The attack angle adjustment module includes an adjustment hand wheel 6, a worm 7, a worm gear 8 and a worm mounting bracket 9, which is coaxially installed with the water wing, and the water wing rotates with the worm gear 8, and the angle turned by both in the same time is equal.

[0034] The attack angle adjustment module is used: rotate the adjustment hand wheel 6 to drive the worm 7 to rotate, and the angle movement of both is consistent; the worm 7 drives the worm gear 8 to rotate, and since there is a transmission ratio between the worm gear 8 and the worm 7, the angle turned by both in the same time is not equal, and the angle turned by the worm gear 8 is much smaller than that by the worm 7, so the angle error generated by the adjustment hand wheel 6 is greatly reduced after being transmitted to the water wing.

[0035] When the water wing attack angle is adjusted in place, the water wing shaft is fixed by the locking module, and the worm 7 and the adjustment hand wheel 6 are removed for the next adjustment work.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , the water wing torsional stiffness adjustment module includes a sensor mounting adjustment assembly 1, a force sensor 2, a sensor-spring connecting piece 3, a high-precision spring 4 and a force arm assembly 5. Among them, the force sensor 2, the sensor-spring connecting piece 3 and the high-precision spring 4 are two, which are installed at both ends of the force arm assembly 5.

[0037] The use of torsional stiffness adjustment module: force arm assembly 5 is installed above the worm wheel 8, and is fixedly connected with the worm wheel 8, and the angles turned by the two are equal in the same time. The force arm assembly 5 is connected with the force sensor 2 through the high-precision spring 4 and the sensor-spring connecting piece 3. The other end of the force sensor 2 is fixed on the sensor installation adjustment assembly 1.

[0038] When the water wing attack angle is adjusted in place, locked, and the worm 7 and the adjustment handle 6 are removed, the sensor installation adjustment assembly 1 at either end of the force arm assembly 5 is adjusted, so that the force sensor 2 moves to the left. Correspondingly, since the water wing shaft has been locked and fixed, the high-precision spring 4 is stretched, generating an elastic force, which can be read by the sensor 2; then, the sensor installation adjustment assembly 1 at the other end of the force arm assembly 5 is adjusted, so that the other sensor 2 moves to the left, and at this time, the other spring 4 is stretched, and the elastic force is also read by the other sensor 2. The positions of the sensor installation adjustment assemblies 1 at both ends of the force arm assembly are continuously adjusted, and the readings of the two sensors 2 are compared, so that the forces at both ends of the force arm assembly are balanced.

[0039] After the sensor position is adjusted in place, the water wing shaft locking device is loosened, and the forces at both ends of the force arm assembly 5 are balanced. At this time, if the water wing shaft is turned in any direction by a certain angle, the force balance state on both sides of the force arm changes, and the springs on both sides will generate a torsional moment opposite to the direction of rotation of the water wing shaft. The size of the moment is related to the torsional stiffness of the water wing device, and in the device of the present application, it is related to the stiffness of the high-precision spring 4. Therefore, by replacing springs with different parameters, the adjustment of the torsional stiffness of the water wing can be realized.

[0040] After the water wing attack angle, spring and sensor devices are debugged, the torsional force on the water wing in the water flow can be measured and calculated through the force sensor. When the accuracy and sampling frequency of the force sensor are high enough, the frequency and amplitude of the water wing torsional vibration can be analyzed.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not a limitation on the form and substance of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some improvements and supplements can be made without departing from the present application, and these improvements and supplements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, some minor changes, modifications and equivalent changes made on the basis of the disclosed technical content without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application are equivalent embodiments of the present application; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolution of the above-mentioned embodiments according to the essential technology of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
