Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of marine engineering technology, and in particular relates to a deployment method of a marine boarding system based on a hybrid mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the development and use of clean and green energy are receiving increasing attention. The vast oceans, which cover approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, are rich in offshore wind energy resources, leading to a significant increase in the number of wind farms. Offshore wind power has become one of the new energy sectors with the largest reserves, the most mature development technologies, and the broadest development prospects.

[0003] However, the booming development of wind power also presents numerous challenges. Offshore wind farms must withstand multiple loads, including wind and waves, and face more challenging and complex environmental conditions than onshore. Various environmental factors, including tides, typhoons, air currents, and lightning, make offshore wind turbines prone to failure. Transporting personnel from ships to wind turbine platforms is difficult and dangerous. To maintain the stability of the bridge and the safety of maintenance personnel, research on the deployment of offshore boarding systems based on hybrid mechanisms has become a top priority.

[0004] Research on hybrid-mechanism-based marine embarkation systems is relatively mature abroad, but not fully applicable to domestic conditions. Kinematic analysis of hybrid mechanisms is a key research topic for active wave compensation systems. Kinematic solutions are divided into forward and inverse kinematic solutions, with numerical and analytical methods currently the primary approaches for solving the forward kinematic solution. Gao Jianshe et al. used the vector method to solve the forward and inverse kinematic solutions for a series-parallel hybrid leg, assuming the optimal posture with the lowest energy consumption. Han Fangyuan et al. proposed a fast numerical method for solving the forward kinematic solution of a 3-PRS parallel mechanism, achieving a computational speed 1.5 times faster than conventional algorithms. Sung used optimization theory to find the optimal solution using the forward kinematic equations as constraints, but real-time applications require further exploration in optimization theory and hardware and software implementation. Joey used a genetic algorithm to perform trajectory planning, but the convergence of this iterative method, which randomly generates iterative variables (samples), cannot be guaranteed. Wolovich proposed a dynamic method based on the forward kinematic solution to solve the inverse kinematic solution for non-redundant robots, but this method requires high computer configuration and is difficult to implement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of traditional wave compensation systems and provide a deployment method for an offshore boarding system based on a hybrid mechanism, so as to achieve the connection requirements between the offshore boarding system and the offshore platform and provide theoretical support for engineering practice.

[0136] The present invention describes a method for deploying a hybrid mechanism-based offshore boarding system. When solving inverse kinematics, the position parameters of the target point in space and the reasonable coordinate system establishment of the upper and lower platforms are included, including under waves and when the ship is stationary. The joint velocity calculation includes solving the relationship between the joint velocity and the absolute velocity of the gangway end relative to the earth, and calculating the speed of the six degrees of freedom generated by wave interference as an additional term. When the operator gives the desired absolute velocity of the gangway end, the velocity value of each joint can be obtained. The controller design includes designing an RBF neural network sliding mode control to address the time lag and strong nonlinearity of the electro-hydraulic servo system, and using the RBF neural network's universal approximation ability for nonlinear functions to fit the unknown parts of the electro-hydraulic servo system and the gangway dynamics under wave interference.

[0137] The deployment method of the offshore boarding system based on the hybrid mechanism described in the present invention compensates for the risk of unstable trajectory of the gangway end and collision with the offshore platform during the deployment of the offshore boarding system due to the interference of waves, and also avoids the inaccurate dynamic settlement caused by the interference of waves, thereby improving the control accuracy.

[0138] The deployment method of a hybrid mechanism-based offshore boarding system described in the present invention comprehensively considers the impact of waves on the ship's roll, pitch, bow pitch, sway, surge, and heave, and participates in dynamic and kinematic calculations, avoiding the model mismatch problem caused by simplified models.

[0139] The present invention discloses a method for deploying a marine boarding system based on a hybrid mechanism. By calculating the relationship between the joint velocity and the absolute velocity of the gangway end, an RBF neural network adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to enable the operator to control the absolute linear velocity of the gangway end, thereby achieving manual deployment.

[0140] The present invention discloses a method for deploying a marine boarding system based on a hybrid mechanism. The wave compensation system uses a hybrid mechanism, which combines the advantages of a series mechanism and a parallel mechanism, increases the movement space, and improves the stability.

[0287] S7. Determine whether the end of the gangway has reached the target point of the wind turbine platform. If so, the deployment is completed and passive compensation is started. If not, return to step S5 and re-execute the deployment method of the marine boarding system based on the hybrid mechanism.

[0288] from Figure 2 As can be seen, the offshore boarding system is fixed to the deck and is used for offshore operations and maintenance of offshore wind turbine platforms. The wind turbine platform is stationary relative to the Earth's coordinate system, while the maintenance vessel is constantly swaying on the sea surface due to the influence of waves, such as roll, pitch, bow pitch, sway, surge, and heave. This technical solution is to design an offshore boarding system based on a hybrid mechanism to ensure that the end of the gangway can complete the docking task with the offshore platform at the operator's desired speed under the influence of waves.

[0289] from Figure 3 As can be seen, the hybrid mechanism consists of an upper platform, a three-DOF serial platform, and a lower platform, a six-DOF parallel platform. The upper platform, a three-DOF serial platform, consists of a telescopic gangway, a pitch mechanism, a slewing mechanism, and an operating platform. The lower platform, a six-DOF parallel platform, is composed of six hinged supports and six servo cylinders.

[0290] The six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform's primary actuators are six servo cylinders. Their rod ends are hinged to upper hinge supports, which are fixed to the lower surface of the motion platform. The servo cylinder bases are hinged to lower hinge supports, which are fixed to the upper surface of the static platform. The static platform is secured to the deck via anchor bolts, providing safe and reliable support for motion compensation.

[0291] from Figure 4 It can be seen that the coordinate system is established at the center of the parallel platform's dynamic and static platforms, and the coordinate system of the upper platform's gangway is established based on the telescoping, pitching, and rotation of the series mechanism.

[0292] from Figure 7 To verify the effectiveness of the control algorithm, an electro-hydraulic servo system model was built in AMEsim, and an RBF neural network sliding mode controller was programmed in MATLAB / Simulink. Based on the analysis of stability and tracking speed, the system parameters were modified while ensuring system stability, resulting in an improved RBF neural network sliding mode controller. The control effect was then verified.

[0293] from Figure 9 and Figure 10As can be seen, simulation analysis of the PID controller and the RBF neural network controller before and after improvement was performed. According to the simulation results, it can be seen that the improved RBF neural network sliding mode controller has the best tracking effect on the desired speed and the smallest tracking error, which can meet the speed tracking requirements in deployment.
