Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep-sea sampling drilling rig technology, specifically relating to a simulation method for the coupled dynamics of the chassis wheel system of a multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drilling rig. Background Technology

[0002] This invention simulates a multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig designed using patent CN214576757U. During deep-sea geological exploration operations, upon initial release and contact with the seabed, the chassis absorbs most of the impact force on its components. To ensure the rig's subsequent operation, including sampling, a multibody dynamics simulation analysis of the landing conditions is necessary. This invention utilizes Recurdyn multibody dynamics software to perform finite element-based flexible processing of the steel wheel system on the chassis, simulating landing conditions of the multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig under different conditions. The stress and strain results of each wheel are obtained, providing theoretical basis and data support for the safe deployment of the multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig.

[0003] Currently, the simulation method for this type of multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drilling rig is to use ANSYS to automatically generate a mesh and then perform a collision simulation upon landing. This technology cannot simulate the tension of the rubber tracks and the buffering performance of the deep-sea sediment characteristics on the whole. It simplifies the interaction forces between key components, which will cause errors in the simulation results and make it impossible to accurately determine the actual acceptable release height and landing slope.

[0004] The impact force experienced by a multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig upon landing is related not only to the release height, but also to its own weight, buoyancy, water resistance, the characteristics of different seabed materials, and the initial tension of the tracks. Due to limitations in experimental conditions, it is difficult to conduct multiple deployments in situ in the deep sea. The Recurdyn software is used to construct these special environments to simulate the real landing environment of the multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig. Summary of the Invention

The specific operation process for step 3) is as follows: In Professional mode, select Ground to create the ground. For a flat seabed, use a cuboid with a length of 5m, a width of 5m, and a height of 1m. Create multiple files and set the height distance between the seabed and the multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill in each file, ensuring that the height distances are different in each file. The steps to set the height distance between the seabed and the multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill are as follows: Select Distance in Measure, select the bottom point of the track as First Point, select a point on the upper surface of the seabed as Second Point, click Calculate to calculate the distance between the tracks, select Basic Object Control, select the seabed cuboid, input the calculated rise or fall distance, and click +Y or -Y to adjust to the target position. To apply an upward vertical force to a multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig to simulate the hydrodynamic forces experienced by the rig during its landing, the specific steps for setting this upward vertical force are as follows: First, select Mass in Measure, select the entire multi-point mobile deep-sea sampling drill rig, click Calculate to obtain the centroid of the drill rig, copy the centroid, click Axial Force, select the sediment and the drill rig in sequence, input the centroid coordinates as the starting point, modify the Y coordinate of the base point to 0, and then input the centroid coordinates as the ending point coordinates. When setting the sediment soil parameters, go to TrackAssembly through Database on the right, check Pressure-Sinkage and click Contact Parameter, input the cohesive deformation modulus, friction deformation modulus, subsidence index, cohesion, shear resistance angle, shear deformation modulus and subsidence ratio of the deep-sea sediment, and confirm to complete the simulation of the deep-sea sediment. 4) The chassis wheel system is divided into eight-node hexahedral meshes with flexible processing. When generating the mesh, the maximum and minimum global mesh size are set, the mesh and its contact point information are previewed and the mesh is saved. 5) Set simulation conditions and conduct simulation experiments; analyze the stress on the chassis wheel assembly based on the simulation results, and perform data analysis on the components with the greatest stress and strain.

The specific steps for solid replacement of the chassis wheel system and tracks are as follows: First, enter the solid editing mode of the idler wheel, carrier roller, track roller, and drive wheel respectively. Adjust the wheel surface to be parallel to the xoy plane, move the center of mass to the starting point of the reference frame (0,0,0), and then export the model in x_t form. Delete the original model and import the model with the corrected coordinates. Then, use CADSprocket to perform solid replacement on the drive wheel. Use import to extract the tooth profile from the model, and then input the number of teeth, addendum, and root circle radius to draw the CAD drive wheel. After confirming, enter the solid editing mode of the new drive wheel again, and use the face function to create two planes that contact the tracks. Then, use CAD_SingleFlange to replace the idler wheel, carrier roller, and track roller. For the idler wheel, carrier roller, and track roller, input the required hub width, hub radius, total width, and distance between two hubs in the parameter table. Then, perform solid replacement on the track using CAD_Link. Based on the actual dimensions, input the tooth height, tooth width, and hole spacing of the track teeth in the parameter table. When drawing the tooth profile, use Multi Curve to sequentially click through the outer profile line on the track plate. After completion, set the contact points between the track and the ground. Use ShoePoint to define the 5th to 25th points of the track. At the same time, in Grower Mesh, select Start Node as 5 and End Node as 25, enter Side Contact, select the left and right contact surfaces with the drive wheel, as well as the contact surfaces between the track and the idler wheel, carrier roller, track roller inner side, and hub circumference to define them.
