[0031] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 6The port berthing assistance tugboat power test system described in this embodiment includes a pool 1, a power test system, a controller, and at least one ship 4 located on the water surface of the pool 1. The pool has a specific water level, which can be adjusted according to the actual sea conditions corresponding to the test scenario. A wave and current generating device can be installed at the leftmost end of the pool to simulate the wave and current environment in the ocean. The controller can adopt a PLC controller. The inner cavity of the pool 1 contains water for testing, and a mooring bollard 41 is provided on the ship 4; the power The test system includes at least two tugboats 3 located on the surface of the pool 1, a driving device 2 for driving the tugboats 3 to translate in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and a dynamometer 321. The driving device 2 is installed above the pool 1. Each tugboat 3 is provided with an automatic cable retractor 32 and at least one pressure sensor 31. The automatic cable retractor 32 adopts a cable winch with a cable retracting roller. The dynamometer 321 is fixed to the end of the cable on the automatic cable retractor 32. The dynamometer 321 is fixed to the end of the cable on the automatic cable retractor 32. 1 is connected to the mooring post 41, at least one pressure sensor 31 is located on the side of the tugboat 3 facing the ship 4, and each tugboat 3 is installed on the driving device 2 respectively; the driving device 2, the dynamometer 321, the pressure sensor 31 and the automatic cable retractor 32 are respectively connected to the controller and controlled by it. In the selection of the cable, the rope with similar elastic modulus and strength requirements is selected according to the actual tugboat 3 environment, including but not limited to thin nylon rope; wherein, generally, the pressure sensor 31 is set as one and installed on the outer wall of the bow of the tugboat 3, that is, the bow of the tugboat 3 faces the ship 4, and the above-mentioned setting can be obtained according to the actual scale, so as to simulate the actual tugboat 3 under the corresponding scale conditions, and the dynamometer 321 adopts an annular dynamometer 321, and the annular dynamometer 321 is sleeved on the mooring post 41 of the ship 4; the pressure sensor 31 is a thin film pressure sensor, and the thin film pressure sensor adopts a flexible stress sheet, and the automatic cable retractor 32 is placed at the bow of the tugboat 3 to facilitate the tugboat 3 towing work.

[0033] When the tugboat 3 approaches the ship 4, the driving device 2 drives the tugboat 3 to propel in the direction of the ship 4, and the automatic cable retractor 32 drives the cable to be automatically retracted and released to control the first change in the position of the ship 4 (the process of deceleration, turning or retreating of the ship 4), and the dynamometer 321 obtains the towing force data of the tugboat 3 while the cable remains taut, and transmits it to the controller. Generally, the towing force data is detected when the ship 4 is towed and rotated or approaches too fast; when the tugboat 3 is pushed to collide with the ship 4, the position of the ship 4 changes for the second time (the process of acceleration and turning of the ship 4), and the pressure sensor 31 on the tugboat 3 collides with the side of the ship 4 to obtain the pressure data at the time of collision, and transmits it to the controller; when the tugboat 3 collides with the ship 4 during continuous movement, and pushes the ship 4 to continue to move and pushes the ship 4 to the side of the pool 1, the position of the ship 4 changes for the first time During the three changes (the process of the ship 4 moving at a constant speed), the pressure sensor 31 senses the thrust data between each tugboat 3 and the ship 4, and the dynamometer 321 senses the dragging data of the tugboat 3 using the cable to tow the ship 4, and transmits the dragging data and the thrust data to the controller. In addition, during the pushing process, the distance between the tugboat 3 and the ship 4 remains unchanged, and the length of the cable between the two remains unchanged, but the push and pull force of the tugboat will continue to transform, and the tugboat dragging state in this state is recorded by the annular dynamometer 321 on the mooring column 41, so as to analyze the experimental results later according to the dragging data and the thrust data; when the tugboat 3 tows the ship 4, the posture of the ship 4 changes for the fourth time (the process of the ship 4 decelerating), and the dynamometer 321 senses the dragging data of the tugboat 3 using the cable to tow the ship 4, and transmits the dragging data and the thrust data to the controller. Preferably, the measured data is transmitted to the computer through the controller for analysis.

[0034] Among them, in the above, only one tugboat 3 may be working or two tugboats 3 may be working at the same time, and the working power state of the tugboat 3 can be switched among full power, half power and low power, and intermittent motion can be performed; therefore, when realizing the simulated motion of the tugboat 3, we can also realize the real simulation of the towing process by adjusting the size and intermittence of the motor power.

[0035] Based on the above, two towing force test modes can be realized. Mode 1 is the mooring assistance towing mode. In this mode, the cable length is automatically adjusted by the winch to ensure that the cable is always in a taut state when the distance between the tugboat and the tugboat changes, especially to meet the change of the cable stress state when the tugboat switches between the two movement modes of pushing and towing, ensuring that the cable can be quickly tensioned to provide towing force.

[0036] Mode 2 is the long-duration towing mode, in which the tugboat tows the towed vessel 4 for a long unidirectional towing. At this time, the cable length and the towing force are fixed, and the two will not change frequently. In this mode, the motion state of the towed vessel 4 is measured in reverse.

[0037] In order to record the movement trajectory of the ship 4, a posture sensor is installed on the ship 4, and a camera is installed on the side of the pool 1 to record the movement trajectory of the ship 4 during the posture change process. At the same time, the movement trajectory of the tugboat, the fluctuation state of the water surface around the tugboat and the ship, and the real-time distance change between the ship and the dock can be recorded during the berthing process of the ship, and transmitted to the controller. When the tugboat 3 approaches the tugboat 3, the tugboat 3 collides with the tugboat 4, and the tugboat 3 pushes the tugboat 4 to the shore, there are relatively obvious posture changes in the three processes. By placing posture sensors, the trajectory of the tugboat 4 can be recorded, the data can be analyzed and processed, and its general rules can be found; and the camera can be used for video recording, visual analysis, and mutual verification with the posture sensor results to obtain more accurate test data.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving device 2 includes an X-axis displacement driving mechanism 21 and at least two Y-axis displacement driving mechanisms 22. Each Y-axis displacement driving mechanism 22 is installed on the moving part of the X-axis displacement driving mechanism 21. Each tugboat 3 is respectively installed on the moving parts of at least two Y-axis displacement driving mechanisms 22. The X-axis displacement driving mechanism 21 drives and controls at least two Y-axis displacement driving mechanisms 22 to perform translational motion on the X-axis. The two Y-axis displacement driving mechanisms 22 respectively drive the tugboats 3 at corresponding positions to perform translational motion, thereby realizing the tugboat 3 approaching the ship 4 or moving away from the ship 4, and further realizing the test of the berthing assistance operation.

[0039] In the present embodiment, two bearing seats 33 spaced apart from each other are installed in the middle of each tugboat 3, and the two bearing seats 33 are respectively located at the two ends of the X-axis line in the middle of the tugboat 3, and an L-shaped rod 5 is installed on the moving part of each Y-axis displacement driving mechanism 22, and the two ends of the transverse part of the L-shaped rod 5 are respectively installed on the bearings of the two bearing seats 33. The L-shaped rod 5 cooperates with the bearing seats 33, and the tugboat 3 can rotate with the L-shaped rod 5 under the influence of waves, and constrain the tugboat 3 to move relative to the driving device 2 along the longitudinal towing or pushing or wave direction, and constrain the tugboat 3 to move relative to the driving device 2 laterally, which can more realistically simulate the movement state of the tugboat 3 under the test environment.

[0040] In this embodiment, a plurality of first elastic fenders 34 are installed on the side of the tugboat 3, and a pressure sensor 31 is installed on at least one of the plurality of first elastic fenders 34, and a plurality of second elastic fenders 42 are installed on the side of the ship 4; the number of the first elastic fenders 34 and the second elastic fenders 42 can be set according to actual conditions, the first elastic fender 34 on the tugboat 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the bow, and the second elastic fender 42 on the ship 4 is generally arranged on the side of the middle part of the hull, the first elastic fender 34 and the second elastic fender 42 are generally made of rubber material, and the fenders are arranged to protect the hull and avoid damage to the hull caused by hard collision.

[0041] In this embodiment, the X-axis displacement drive mechanism 21 includes two first displacement frames 211 and two first screw rods 212. The two first displacement frames 211 are respectively installed on the opposite side parts of the pool 1. Each first screw rod 212 is rotatably installed on the two first displacement frames 211. Each Y-axis displacement drive mechanism 22 is respectively connected to at least two first sliders 213 on the first screw rod 212. One end of each first screw rod 212 is respectively installed with a first driver that drives the first screw rod 212 to rotate. The first driver includes a first motor or a hand crank. At least two first sliders 213 on the first screw rod 212 are provided with guide blocks, and each guide block is respectively installed in the elongated guide groove 214 of the first displacement frame 211. Preferably, the first driver adopts a motor, which can be a servo motor or a stepper motor. The servo motor or the stepper motor is connected to and controlled by the controller, so as to realize driving each Y-axis displacement drive mechanism 22 to move on the X-axis in different modes according to the program setting of the controller.

[0042] In this embodiment, at least two Y-axis displacement drive mechanisms 22 each include a second displacement frame 221 and a second screw rod 222, each second displacement frame 221 is respectively connected to at least two first sliders 213 on the first screw rod 212, the second screw rod 222 is rotatably mounted on the second displacement frame 221, and one end of each second screw rod 222 is respectively mounted with a second driver that drives the second screw rod 222 to rotate, the second driver includes a second motor, and the longitudinal portion of each L-shaped rod 5 respectively passes through the elongated guide holes 224 of at least two second displacement frames 221 and is connected to the second sliders 223 of at least two second screw rods 222; preferably, the second driver uses a motor 220, and the motor can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, which is connected to and controlled by the controller, so as to achieve driving each tugboat 3 to move on the Y axis in different modes according to the program setting of the controller, and cooperate with the X-axis displacement movement to achieve different modes of mooring assistance tests.

[0043] For example, when a single tugboat 3 is working, only one motor on the Y-axis is in working state, and the pushing and pulling working states of the tugboat 3 are realized by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, thereby realizing the position adjustment and mooring assistance of the ship 4; when the double tugboats 3 are working, the double motors on the Y-axis start to work, and the four working states of the double tugboats, namely, pushing and pulling at the same time, one towing and one pulling, and one pulling and one towing, are realized by the forward and reverse rotation of the motors respectively, thereby realizing the position adjustment and mooring assistance of the ship 4; wherein the motor rotates to drive the screw to rotate, further achieving the translational motion of the slider on the screw, thereby driving the corresponding device to translate.

[0044] Preferably, at least two sliders on the Y-axis displacement driving mechanisms 22 are fixed with a fixing sleeve 6, and the longitudinal portion of the L-shaped rod 5 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 6, and the fixing sleeve 6 and the longitudinal portion of the L-shaped rod 5 are nested and connected through a connecting piece, and through the ball bearing installed inside the fixing sleeve 6, the L-shaped rod 5 always makes telescopic movement relative to the fixing sleeve 6, and the tugboat can float in a direction perpendicular to the water surface. The L-shaped rod 5 cooperates with the bearing seat 33, and the tugboat 3 can rotate with the L-shaped rod 5 under the influence of waves, so that the tugboat 3 model can move in two degrees of freedom. The fixing sleeve 6 and the L-shaped rod 5 are made of plastic material, generally PVC material, which is rust-proof and light.

[0045] This embodiment realizes the whole process from the tugboat 3 approaching the vessel 4 to pushing the vessel 4 to the shore, and the tugboat 3 can simulate it realistically and record the tugboat's towing and pulling state and value to conduct a comprehensive test analysis and obtain more accurate test results. Of course, the vessel 4 mentioned above can also be other offshore equipment platforms, such as buoys, aquaculture cages, etc.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same or similar to that of the present application will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
