Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater vibration environment simulation technology, and in particular to an underwater vibration environment simulation device and a water purification method. Background Technology

[0002] Underwater shaking tables are crucial testing equipment for simulating underwater vibration environments. They not only provide a controllable and stable underwater vibration environment for marine engineering but also simulate the impact of marine environmental tests on offshore structures. To ensure accurate simulation of the marine environment, a current-generating device needs to be designed on the underwater shaking table. Due to the large size of the underwater shaking table and the large water flow required, existing facilities often store the water used for wave and current generation in external reservoirs. However, constantly maintaining a full reservoir can easily lead to water quality deterioration, and because of the large volume of water, water replacement is difficult. Therefore, regular purification treatment of the water in the reservoir is necessary.

[0003] A common problem encountered when using existing external reservoirs for water purification is that the purified water, after being transported back to the reservoir, mixes with the existing untreated water. Due to the irregular flow of water within the reservoir, operators find it difficult to determine whether the water has met purification standards. For example, the water being extracted for purification might be water that was already purified, while untreated water might not be extracted due to the water flow, leading to misjudgments by the purification operators.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an underwater vibration environment simulation device and a water purification method to improve the purification effect on the water in the reservoir of the underwater vibration environment simulation device has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an underwater vibration environment simulation device and a water purification method to solve the problems of difficult water purification and poor purification effect in existing external reservoirs.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The present invention provides an underwater vibration environment simulation device, including an annular reservoir, a flow-generating corridor, an underground water tank and an underwater vibration table. The underwater vibration table is located inside the underground water tank, which is located at the center above the annular reservoir and is connected to the flow-generating corridor. The flow-generating corridor is connected to the annular reservoir.

[0008] The annular reservoir is equipped with a flow guide wall, and a purification outlet and a purification inlet are provided on the annular reservoir. The purification outlet and the purification inlet are connected to an external water purification device through pipes. The water in the annular reservoir flows in an orderly manner under the constraint of the flow guide wall.

[0009] Preferably, the annular reservoir includes an inner reservoir, an outer reservoir, and an inner-outer reservoir channel. Both the inner and outer reservoirs are annular reservoirs. The inner reservoir is located at the center of the outer reservoir ring, and the underground water tank is located at the center of the inner reservoir ring. The inner and outer reservoirs are connected by the inner-outer reservoir channel.

[0010] Preferably, the flow-generating corridor includes a lower flow-generating corridor and an upper flow-generating corridor. The lower flow-generating corridor is located within a ring formed between the inner reservoir and the outer reservoir. The lower flow-generating corridor exchanges water with the outer reservoir through a corridor pumping pipe and a corridor return pipe. Water stored in the outer reservoir is pumped into the lower flow-generating corridor through the corridor pumping pipe, and water in the lower flow-generating corridor flows back to the outer reservoir through the corridor return pipe.

[0011] The upper flow-generating corridor is located one floor above the lower flow-generating corridor and the two are connected by floor slab openings; the upper flow-generating corridor is connected to the underground water tank by a flow-generating pump.

[0012] Preferably, the inner and outer reservoir channels are located within the lower flow corridor and divide the lower flow corridor into a left flow corridor and a right flow corridor.

[0013] Preferably, two upper flow-generating corridors are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the underground water tank, and multiple flow-generating pumps are provided and evenly distributed within the upper flow-generating corridors.

[0014] The present invention also provides a water purification method using the aforementioned underwater vibration environment simulation device, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1, Pre-treatment: Close the corridor's pumping pipe and return pipe;

[0016] Step 2, Purification: Open the purification outlet and purification inlet. Under the constraint of the guide wall, the water in the inner reservoir flows unidirectionally and orderly from the inner and outer reservoir channels to the outer reservoir. The water in the outer reservoir is pumped from the purification outlet into an external water purification device for purification treatment. The purified water flows back to the outer reservoir from the purification inlet. The water flowing back from the outer reservoir flows back to the inner reservoir from the inner and outer reservoir channels on the other side.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] This invention discloses an underwater vibration environment simulation device and a water purification method. The device includes a ring-shaped reservoir, a flow-generating corridor, an underground water tank, and an underwater vibration table. The underwater vibration table is located inside the underground water tank, which is located at the center of the ring-shaped reservoir and connected to the flow-generating corridor. The flow-generating corridor and the ring-shaped reservoir are also connected. A flow-guiding wall is installed inside the ring-shaped reservoir, and a purification outlet and a purification inlet are provided on the ring-shaped reservoir. The purification outlet and the purification inlet are connected to an external water purification device via pipes. The water in the ring-shaped reservoir flows in an orderly manner under the constraint of the flow-guiding wall. The purification method includes step one: pretreatment; and step two: purification. This invention effectively solves the problems of difficult operation and poor purification effect in traditional external reservoirs by setting the reservoir in a ring shape and installing a flow-guiding wall in the ring-shaped reservoir to constrain the water flow direction.

[0027] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides an underwater vibration environment simulation device, including an annular reservoir, a flow-generating corridor, an underground water tank 1 and an underwater vibration table 2. The underwater vibration table 2 is located inside the underground water tank 1. The underground water tank 1 is located at the center above the annular reservoir and is connected to the flow-generating corridor. The flow-generating corridor is connected to the annular reservoir.

[0029] The annular reservoir is equipped with a flow guide wall 11, and a purification outlet 12 and a purification inlet 13 are provided on the annular reservoir. The purification outlet 12 and the purification inlet 13 are connected to an external water purification device through pipes. The water in the annular reservoir flows in an orderly manner under the constraint of the flow guide wall 11.

[0030] The guide wall 11 not only serves to guide water flow, but also reduces the overall span of the equipment and provides support for the equipment on the second floor above ground.

[0031] Specifically, the annular reservoir includes an inner reservoir 3, an outer reservoir 4, and an inner-outer reservoir channel 5. Both the inner reservoir 3 and the outer reservoir 4 are annular reservoirs. The inner reservoir 3 is located at the center of the outer reservoir 4 within the ring, and the underground water tank 1 is located at the center of the inner reservoir 3 within the ring. The inner reservoir 3 and the outer reservoir 4 are connected by the inner-outer reservoir channel 5.

[0032] In practical implementation, the capacity of the inner and outer reservoirs is determined by the functions of the equipment. The capacity of the inner reservoir 3 is fixed, while the capacity of the outer reservoir 4 can be further determined based on the required functions of the equipment. The annular shapes of the inner and outer reservoirs include square rings, circular rings, and elliptical rings.

[0033] Specifically, the flow-generating corridor includes a lower flow-generating corridor 6 and an upper flow-generating corridor 7. The lower flow-generating corridor 6 is located within the ring formed between the inner reservoir 3 and the outer reservoir 4. The lower flow-generating corridor 6 and the outer reservoir 4 exchange water through a corridor pumping pipe 8 and a corridor return pipe 9. The water stored in the outer reservoir 4 is pumped into the lower flow-generating corridor 6 through the corridor pumping pipe 8, and the water in the lower flow-generating corridor 6 flows back to the outer reservoir 4 through the corridor return pipe 9.

[0034] The upper flow-generating corridor 7 is located one floor above the lower flow-generating corridor 6 and the two are connected by floor slab openings; the upper flow-generating corridor 7 is connected to the underground water tank 1 by a flow-generating pump 10.

[0035] Specifically, the inner and outer reservoir channels 5 are located within the lower flow channel 6 and divide the lower flow channel 6 into a left flow channel 601 and a right flow channel 602.

[0036] Specifically, there are two symmetrically arranged upper flow channels 7 located on both sides of the underground water tank 1, and multiple flow pumps 10 are provided and evenly distributed within the upper flow channels 7.

[0037] Specifically, the inner reservoir 3, outer reservoir 4, inner and outer reservoir passage 5, lower flow corridor 6, corridor pumping pipe 8, and corridor return pipe 9 are located in the space of the third underground level, while the underground water tank 1, underwater vibration table 2, and upper flow corridor 7 are located in the space of the second underground level.

[0038] The present invention also provides a water purification method using the aforementioned underwater vibration environment simulation device, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step 1, Pre-treatment: Close the corridor's pumping pipe 8 and the corridor's return pipe 9;

[0040] Step 2, Purification: Open the purification outlet 12 and purification inlet 13. Under the constraint of the guide wall 11, the water in the inner reservoir 3 flows unidirectionally and orderly from the inner and outer reservoir channels 5 to the outer reservoir 4. The water in the outer reservoir 4 is pumped into an external water purification device from the purification outlet 12 for purification treatment. The purified water flows back to the outer reservoir 4 from the purification inlet 13. The water flowing back from the outer reservoir 4 flows back to the inner reservoir 3 from the inner and outer reservoir channels 5 on the other side.
