Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data acquisition, in particular to a measurement system and method of marine physical acoustics parameters. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the demand for resources of the rapidly developing human society is increasing, but the available land resources cannot meet the development needs. The earth's sea area is huge, and it contains rich resources of animals, plants and minerals, etc. Therefore, each country pays great attention to the exploration and development of marine resources.

[0003] Seafloor sediments, as an important part of the ocean, are an important object of ocean exploration engineering, and have important significance for seafloor mapping, resource exploration and marine defense. Under the long-term geological movement, ocean current transport and microbial decomposition, land rivers, animal and plant remains, sediments and other materials are continuously deposited, forming a loose pore framework structure. The pore framework structure is a typical incomplete elastic porous medium filled with seawater and a small amount of air. Due to the complex acoustic characteristics of seafloor sediments, the physical and acoustic characteristics have a large change gradient within several meters in depth from the surface to the shallow layer of the sediments. The sound speed, sound attenuation coefficient and spatial acoustics distribution of seafloor sediments are crucial for marine sound field positioning, sound field numerical prediction and underwater vehicle including submarine silent navigation. The acoustic characteristics of seafloor sediments also have an impact on the propagation characteristics of sound waves, spatial structure of underwater acoustics and the actual effect of various underwater detection. Seafloor sediments have always been an important research object in seafloor engineering, seafloor topographic mapping, ocean shipping and marine defense. Research on seafloor sediments is of great significance to the development of marine economy and the defense of territorial waters. One of the keys to studying seafloor sediments is to study their physical and acoustic characteristics, that is, to study the acoustic characteristic parameters such as sound speed and sound attenuation coefficient by observing the propagation of pulse sound waves in seafloor sediment medium. Through previous experiments, it has been found that the acoustic characteristics of seafloor sediments change greatly with depth, and seawater with different temperature, pressure and salinity has different degrees of sound attenuation. Therefore, it is necessary to design a marine multifunctional physical and acoustic parameter measuring instrument that can measure physical characteristic parameters such as temperature, pressure and salinity, and acoustic characteristic parameters such as sound speed and sound attenuation coefficient.

[0004] In the related art, the longitudinal wave signal can be emitted, collected, processed and saved in situ, and the seabed sediment being measured is completely sampled, but the device is large and it is difficult to realize multipoint measurement, and the real-time measurement data cannot be processed and intuitively displayed, and the efficiency is low; or based on the sound reflection method, data comparison is carried out through a transmitting and receiving channel, and the temperature, depth, salinity and other data can be accurately measured in situ, but the device is large and it is difficult to realize multipoint measurement; another way is to use the propagation attenuation of sound propagation in the measurement process and the sound propagation attenuation and bottom composition determined by experiment or historical data to establish a corresponding table of marine bottom composition sound propagation loss, bottom composition and bottom sound velocity to calculate and analyze the marine bottom composition sound velocity, composition, layer thickness and other parameters and recover the bottom composition, which lacks the measurement of medium frequency band sound wave signals, and the correction of data only depends on the existing geophysical model, and the continuous change of sea conditions and environment will bring large errors to the correction results of real-time in-situ measurement, and the sound wave signals will also interfere with the data through the cable communication mode. The device in the above scheme is not comprehensive enough, such as lacking manual measurement, laboratory measurement, temperature-salinity-depth synchronous measurement, multi-path transmission-reception channel self-switching and the like.

[0046] Further, the communication control module is also used to: according to the different measurement parameters in the control instructions, control the receiving and transmitting states of the conventional acoustic parameter detection interface unit, the multi-channel acoustic parameter sending interface subunit, the multi-channel acoustic parameter receiving interface subunit, the conventional physical parameter detection interface unit, and the multi-channel physical parameter detection interface unit, to control the switching of the measurement system between the conventional parameter measurement mode and the multi-channel parameter measurement mode.

[0047] In actual implementation, the measurement system for laboratory measurement adopts a DC 24V-5A DC power supply transmitter for power supply, the input voltage range is 100-240VAC, and the battery scheme selects a DC 24V lithium ion battery pack, which can be switched to a lithium ion DC battery pack for power supply through a power supply switch, wherein the lithium ion DC battery pack is mainly used for in-situ measurement or field operation.

[0050] Further, the interface module is further used for:

[0051] The external excitation signal generation unit is connected to generate different acoustic parameter acquisition signals to excite the acoustic sensor unit.

[0052] The interface module can be externally connected to a signal generator as an excitation signal source to emit an arbitrarily editable waveform signal, so as to excite the emission sensor through a power amplifier, realize the signal-driven sensor based on MATLAB editing, obtain the functions of good noise reduction, tail wave suppression, and matching of the sensor excitation waveform, and facilitate the expansion research demand of more special waveform scientific research detection.

[0053] As an embodiment example, the multi-path acoustic parameter transmission interface subunit and the multi-path acoustic parameter receiving interface subunit can realize array access of the same frequency band transducer, and can also realize array access of different frequency band transducers, realize wide frequency measurement through a group of acoustic emission and receiving transducers with a center frequency of 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 250 kHz, and 400 kHz, and through one-time connection, realize one-time acoustic characteristic wide frequency band measurement in laboratory measurement or in-situ measurement, and are used for frequency dispersion characteristic measurement and sound propagation loss and frequency relationship measurement.

[0055] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the waveform transceiving module is configured to generate and externally emit an acoustic parameter acquisition signal, wherein the acoustic parameter acquisition signal is a basic sine wave signal or a rectangular pulse signal, the frequency range of the acoustic parameter acquisition signal is 1 kHz-500 kHz, the number of excitation waveforms is 1-8, and the editable waveform signal includes a modulated sine signal, an LFM signal, and the like. The ultrasonic wave is generated due to the fact that the pulse signal is applied to the piezoelectric material to convert the electrical signal into an acoustic signal. As an implementation manner, the waveform transceiving module can adopt the method of applying a transient excitation signal to the surface of the piezoelectric material to realize the emission of the ultrasonic signal by the analog ultrasonic probe. In the field of ultrasonic detection, the sine wave pulse signal is usually modulated by a Hanning window to serve as an ultrasonic source signal, that is:

[0056]

[0057] wherein P(t) is the source signal of the ultrasonic wave, n is the number of periods, f c is the detection frequency.

[0058] The sine wave signal modulated by the Hanning window can avoid the high-frequency interference and energy spectrum leakage of the source signal, and is consistent with the actual detection source signal, but a suitable number of Hanning window modulation periods need to be selected to increase the nonlinear accumulation effect and reduce the waveform aliasing.

[0059] The host computer module can calculate the target acoustic parameter of the seawater sound velocity according to the acoustic parameter signal, wherein the seawater sound velocity is defined as c w , which satisfies:

[0060]

[0061] wherein T, P, and S respectively represent the temperature, depth, and salinity of seawater, K f (T, P, S) and p f (T, P, S) respectively represent the bulk modulus of seawater and the density of seawater, and can be calculated by the seawater state equation.

[0062] The communication control module can also be configured to:

[0063] The temperature, salinity, and depth of the seabed sediment are provided for the effective density fluid model to calculate the target acoustic parameter according to the physical parameter signal. The bottom seawater sound velocity calculated by measurement is combined to provide parameters for the host computer device to correct the acoustic parameter signal based on the Hamilton sound velocity ratio method.

[0064] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the temperature is an important item, and the real-time measurement of the acoustic characteristics and the sediment temperature can directly obtain the seabed sediment acoustic signal waveform under the current temperature, and the correction can be performed based on the temperature.

[0065] The correction of the laboratory sound velocity measurement results can be based on the Hamilton method to obtain the sound velocity ratio R of the seabed sediment and seawater at 23℃ and 1 standard atmosphere in the environment 23 , and the sound velocity ratio R in-situ of the seabed in the original state, R being the sound velocity ratio average, and the correction model thereof can be expressed as follows (1) formula:

[0066] R = R 23 = R in-situ (1) ;

[0067] The data required for the correction include the sound velocity V' w of seawater in the seabed in the original state, the sound velocity Vw of seawater in the seabed in the standard measurement environment, and the sound velocity Vs of the sediment sample. The sound velocity ratio and the sound velocity V' s of the sediment in the seabed in the original state are calculated by the following formulas (2) and (3) respectively:

[0068] R = V s / V w (2) ;

[0069] V' s = R × V' w (3) ;

[0070] The sound velocities of the sediment and seawater in the standard measurement environment can be directly measured. The sound velocity of seawater in the seabed in the original state can be calculated by applying the formula, such as the Mackenzie formula (4) with very high precision:

[0071] V' w = 1448.96 + 4.591T - 5.304 × 10 -2 T 2 + 2.374 × 10 -4 T 3 + 1.340 (S - 35) + 1.630 × 10 -2 D + 1.657 × 10 -7 D 2 - 1.025 × 10 -2 T (s - 35) - 7.139 × 10 -13 T D 3 (4) ;

[0072] In the formula, T is the temperature, ranging from 0 to 30℃; D is the depth, ranging from 0 to 8000m; and S is the salinity, ranging from 30 to 40.

[0073] The sound velocity ratio average is verified by applying the sound velocity ratio average to correct the measured sound velocity values at various temperatures, thereby generalizing the Hamilton model, and the sound velocity ratio R TAlso keep R, if the measured ambient temperature does not meet 23 DEG C, then can directly use correction method to correct to standard measurement environment or seabed in-situ state.

[0074] According to the above:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, And Respectively represent the sediment sound speed and the sound speed of seawater in the T ℃ room temperature state.

[0077] And based on the salinity data, the water content and porosity of the seabed sediment can be corrected.

[0078] For example, when the measurement system is implemented based on the interface of Figure 3 , Figure 4 When the measurement system is implemented based on the interface of

[0079] The measurement function of the sound wave transceiver, the measurement system can realize that one transmitting sensor transmits and three receiving sensors simultaneously receive, wherein the R3_OUT port can be connected to an external device to observe the ultrasonic signal received on R3; In addition, a multi-transmitting and receiving function different from the conventional measurement can also be realized, and the transmitting and receiving sensors are connected to the adapter plate and then connected to the multi-transmitting port and the multi-receiving port respectively.

[0080] The power amplifier function, the measurement system can switch the internally generated pulse wave and the sine wave to the mode of the external signal generator providing the trigger signal source, and the trigger signal amplitude must be between 3.5V-5V. When implemented, first, the trigger signal switch is set to TX_IN / external trigger, the signal generator signal output port is connected to the TX_IN / external trigger port, the TX_OUT port is connected to the external trigger synchronization port of the signal generator, and the measurement mode selected by the upper device software of the measurement system should be the same as the mode of the signal generator output waveform.

[0081] The measurement system has the advantages that a high-precision, multi-functional and integrated marine physical acoustics parameter measurement system is provided, the measurement system can realize double excitation of sine and pulse wave signals, can simultaneously measure various marine acoustics parameters based on control instructions, can simultaneously monitor marine environmental physical parameters such as the salinity, temperature of seawater, pressure and temperature of seabed sediment, and acoustics parameters such as sound speed and sound attenuation, and correct the results, and can support external power amplification and linear sweep of the transmitting signal, compared with the prior art, the measurement system of the marine physical acoustics parameters is multi-functional and practical, the multi-channel seamless switching operation of the multi-frequency band and multi-sensor is realized, and the function integration of the in-situ measurement and the laboratory measurement is realized.

[0089] Further, in the step S3, according to the acoustics parameter acquisition signal, the interface module selects a corresponding interface unit, and excites a corresponding acoustics sensor unit and / or a physical parameter measurement sensor unit of a sensor module connected to the interface module, wherein according to different acoustics parameter acquisition signals:
