Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ocean acoustic detection, and in particular relates to an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation and a working method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of ocean understanding and development, the application scope of various equipment and technologies involved in underwater acoustic engineering is continuously expanding, and the requirements for their capabilities are gradually increasing. Specifically, the detection range and operating depth of underwater acoustic equipment are being required to be longer and deeper. The research scope of underwater acoustic engineering has expanded from simple underwater sound waves to the study and application of various sound waves, including interfacial waves coupled with the bottom. Therefore, it is necessary to explore methods to improve technical capabilities by extending the frequency range and placing higher demands on the equipment's adaptability to deepwater environments. To this end, various related research projects are needed. In the field of underwater acoustic engineering applications, the continuous increase in detection distance has led to a continuous search for technological breakthroughs and expansion methods. In water, the propagation laws and characteristics of sound waves are closely related to frequency. The attenuation characteristics of sound waves are inversely proportional to the square of the frequency, that is, the lower the frequency, the slower the sound wave attenuates. Therefore, studying the propagation characteristics of sound waves in the low-frequency and even ultra-low-frequency ranges and exploring application methods have become hot topics and important research topics in underwater acoustic engineering technology. Low-frequency and even very low-frequency sound sources are important equipment and means to carry out these research tasks. Marine equipment capable of withstanding deep-water environments (underwater high pressure) is another important research topic in ocean exploration technology. Therefore, low-frequency and even ultra-low-frequency sound sources that can withstand deep-water environments are important supporting and basic equipment for expanding the research content of underwater acoustic engineering technology.
[0003] As underwater sound-generating devices, underwater sound sources' performance indicators, such as source level, operating frequency, and bandwidth, directly influence the emission and propagation characteristics of sound in water. As previously mentioned, low-frequency sound is more effective at long-distance propagation. Therefore, research on the theory and technical implementation of low-frequency (very low-frequency) sound sources is of great significance to the development of ocean exploration technology.
[0004] Traditional underwater sound sources typically utilize active materials (e.g., piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials) in conjunction with corresponding sound radiation structures to achieve sound wave radiation, such as various conventional flextensional transducers. These underwater sound sources operate in a resonant mode, with relatively high operating frequencies (several thousand Hz), and can achieve low frequencies of several hundred Hz, but struggle to achieve sound radiation in the lower frequency bands (several Hz to tens of Hz). Given the difficulty of underwater sound sources based on active materials in achieving ultra-low frequency radiation, some researchers have developed low-frequency sound sources using electromagnetic excitation. For example, Zhou Yu of Harbin Engineering University used electromagnetic excitation to develop a low-frequency sound source that can operate at 5 Hz, with a sound source level of up to 160 dB; however, this ultra-low frequency sound source cannot operate in deep water environments. For example, the UW350 low-frequency sound source, driven by rare earth permanent magnets, boasts a sound source level of 165dB and can operate at frequencies as low as 20Hz. This sound source has a maximum operating depth of 188m, but at depths exceeding 100m, its acoustic compensation capability rapidly decreases due to hydrostatic pressure, leading to a sharp drop in sound source level. Research in the field of ultra-low-frequency sound sources is also underway abroad. However, given the sensitive nature of this field, relevant literature typically only reports on the technical specifications achieved by the developed sound source, with specific implementation methods and sound source structures rarely reported.
[0005] The technical bottlenecks of deepwater ultra-low frequency sound sources primarily stem from the challenges of achieving large centimeter-scale amplitudes during low-frequency (or ultra-low-frequency) radiation and the acoustic compensation challenges caused by deep-water static pressure. High sound source levels (in the low-frequency band) require significant displacement of the radiating sound baffle (the radiating surface of a practical sound source cannot be infinitely large), potentially reaching centimeters. This centimeter-scale displacement is difficult to achieve using conventional piezoelectric ceramic materials. Existing open-ended, telescopic airbag compensation technology is unable to suppress transient acoustic backflow at great depths.
[0006] At present, no sound source system has been developed at home and abroad that can work in the ultra-low frequency (such as 5Hz) segment at a water depth of 300 meters. Related key technologies (acoustic backflow compensation technology under high hydrostatic pressure conditions, centimeter-level amplitude realization technology, etc.) are in urgent need of breakthroughs.

[0043] A method for operating an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation, the method comprising the following steps:
[0044] Step 1: Under the control of the air circuit control system, the air pressure in the air chamber is controlled according to the diving depth of the sound source to balance it with the water environment pressure;
[0045] Step 2: After reaching the working depth, under the control of the motor control system, the motor drive shaft makes a circular rotation and the electric cylinder (circular-linear motion mechanical conversion mechanism) converts the circular rotation of the motor drive shaft into linear motion of the push rod;

[0047] Step 4: Recover the sound source.
[0048] Furthermore, step 1 is specifically as follows: the low-frequency sound source works 300m underwater. During the deployment of the sound source, the internal pressure of the sound source and the external hydrostatic pressure should be kept in a stage balance principle (or the pressure difference should be controlled within an acceptable range); accordingly, the present invention adopts a 50-meter stepped diving sound source deployment method, by dividing the 300m depth into grades (such as 50m intervals), and gradually diving; the main console controls the diving stage according to the measurement results of the pressure sensor of the sound and environment measurement subsystem, and at the same time the air path control subsystem performs the on-off operation of the air path, and according to the preset stepped diving rules, the internal pressure of the sound source is gradually increased in grades to balance it with the external hydrostatic pressure, to ensure that the entire sound source structure is not crushed during the diving process.
[0049] Furthermore, steps 2 and 3 are specifically as follows: after confirming that the position and status of the sound source are normal based on the detection results of the sound and environment measurement subsystem, the sound source working stage is entered; the motor control subsystem is started through the main console to control the motor output linear motion (the dual radiation plate structure needs to pass through the commutation structure to convert the linear motion of the motor into the motion of the dual radiation plate), and push the radiation plate to perform reciprocating motion; the output of the motor is controlled by adjusting the parameters through the main console to control the vibration amplitude and frequency of the radiation plate to meet the sound level and frequency requirements; during the sound source working process, the sound and environment measurement subsystem will feed back the sound field and environmental parameters to the main console in real time to achieve closed-loop control.
[0050] Furthermore, step 4 is specifically as follows: during the recovery process, the boom is first recovered. As the depth decreases, the internal pressure of the sound source is greater than the external hydrostatic pressure, and the pressure inside the sound source is unloaded through the pressure relief valve; the pressure relief valve is a one-way check valve with a plug, and a certain threshold is set; the plug of the pressure relief valve is in a closed state during the diving stage and the sound source working stage, and is only opened during the sound source recovery stage; the sound source recovery process also needs to cooperate with the sound and environment measurement subsystem to gradually unload the internal pressure of the sound source.

The method for operating an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation according to claim 1, characterized in that: The working method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Under the control of the air circuit control system, the air pressure in the air chamber is controlled according to the diving depth of the sound source to balance it with the water environment pressure; Step 2: After reaching the working depth, under the control of the motor control system, the motor drive shaft makes a circular rotation and the electric cylinder converts the circular rotation of the motor drive shaft into linear motion of the push rod; Step 3: Based on the linear motion of the push rod in step 2, the push rod pushes the piston of the radiation plate to reciprocate to achieve centimeter-level displacement amplitude; the sound wave radiation in the water medium is realized, and the sound and environment measurement subsystem opens the expansion arm through control operation, and then performs sound field measurement; Step 4: Recover the sound source.
8. The method for operating an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation according to claim 7, characterized in that: Specifically, step 1 is as follows: the main console controls the diving stage according to the measurement results of the pressure sensor of the sound and environment measurement subsystem, and at the same time the air path control subsystem performs the on-off operation of the air path. According to the preset step-by-step diving rules, the internal pressure of the sound source is gradually increased in stages to balance it with the external hydrostatic pressure, ensuring that the entire sound source structure is not crushed during the diving process.
9. The method for operating an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation according to claim 7, characterized in that: Specifically, steps 2 and 3 are as follows: after confirming that the sound source position and status are normal based on the detection results of the sound and environment measurement subsystem, the sound source working stage is entered; the motor control subsystem is started through the main console to control the motor output linear motion to push the radiation plate to reciprocate; the output of the motor is controlled by adjusting the parameters through the main console to control the vibration amplitude and frequency of the radiation plate to meet the sound level and frequency requirements; during the sound source working process, the sound and environment measurement subsystem will feed back the sound field and environmental parameters to the main console in real time to achieve closed-loop control.
10. The method for operating an ultra-low frequency, high sound source level sound source system suitable for deep water operation according to claim 7, characterized in that: Specifically, step 4 is as follows: during the recovery process, the boom is first recovered. As the depth decreases, the internal pressure of the sound source is greater than the external hydrostatic pressure, and the pressure inside the sound source is unloaded through the pressure relief valve; the pressure relief valve is a one-way check valve with a plug, and a certain threshold is set; the plug of the pressure relief valve is in a closed state during the diving stage and the sound source working stage, and is only opened during the sound source recovery stage; the sound source recovery process also needs to cooperate with the sound and environment measurement subsystem to gradually unload the internal pressure of the sound source.
