Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine engineering, and relates to a model test device and method for studying multi-degree-of-freedom intelligent control loading of a shared anchor. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of energy transition and carbon neutrality, offshore wind power is rapidly developing globally, with installed capacity increasing rapidly. Taking floating wind power as an example, the foundation of a floating wind power project accounts for 20% to 30% of the total investment cost. Economic pressures are forcing developers to continuously increase the capacity of individual turbines to improve efficiency, placing higher demands on the floating support structure that carries the upper turbine load. Cost optimization offers significant potential for reducing investment. Although floating foundations are more adaptable to water depths than fixed foundations, the economics of existing solutions still do not support large-scale commercial development.

[0003] In 2023, the Hywind Tempen project, invested in by Equinor, the Norwegian national oil company, went into operation. It is the world's first floating wind farm to utilize a shared anchoring design. Its 11 wind turbines utilize only 19 suction anchors. Compared to the Hywind Scotland project, completed in 2017 (which employed traditional independent mooring and a total of 15 suction anchors for its five turbines), this represents a 42.5% reduction in anchors, demonstrating the enormous technical and economic potential of the shared anchoring design.

[0004] Therefore, in order to study the load-bearing and failure mechanism of shared anchors, it is of great significance to carry out shared anchor model tests based on domestic and foreign research and conduct in-depth research on the above issues.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent ZL201710436101.7 discloses a loading device and loading method for geotechnical engineering model tests. The loading device includes a static loading mechanism, which includes a ground anchor, two reaction frame columns, two force sensors, a reaction frame beam, two loading bolts, a reaction plate, at least two loading springs, and a pressure plate. The two reaction frame columns are fixed to the ground anchor using column anchor bolts. The two force sensors are respectively connected to the middle section of a reaction frame column. The reaction frame beam spans between the two reaction frame columns and is locked from top to bottom using loading bolts. The reaction plate is arranged below the reaction frame beam and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate via the loading spring. This patent can only load in the vertical direction and cannot provide loading conditions in the horizontal direction. It has a relatively simple function and is inconvenient to use.

Each group of pulley units includes a pulley rail installed on the model box 1 along the Z direction, an upper pulley and a lower pulley arranged on the pulley rail and adjustable in height, and a loading wire rope. The loading wire rope passes around the upper pulley and the lower pulley, and one end is connected to the second actuation loading unit or the third actuation loading unit respectively, and the other end is connected to the shared anchor 14. Through the upper pulley and the lower slider with adjustable height, the inclination angle of the loading force applied to the shared anchor 14 can be easily adjusted, so that the loading requirements in different directions can be achieved. In addition, in order to better collect loading data, a fourth force sensor 10-4 and a fifth force sensor 11-4 are respectively provided on the loading wire rope corresponding to the second actuation loading unit and the third actuation loading unit. At the same time, the pulley rail can be installed on the pulley column, and the pulley column can be arranged on the side wall rail of a certain side surface of the model box 1 in an adjustable position, for example, fixed to the side wall rail by a pulley fastening bolt to set the position.

[0092] The device of this embodiment has a gravel cushion layer 3 laid at the bottom of the model box 1, which is used to evenly introduce water from the bottom during water saturation and prevent soil from being carried out during drainage; an inlet and outlet 2 is set on the outside of the box, which is used to obtain water-saturated soil samples and drain water after the experiment is completed.

[0093] After completing the gravel cushion layer 3, the soil bed 4 is prepared. This case uses the layered compaction method, which involves compacting the soil bed 4 in several layers. The compaction thickness of each layer is controlled by calculating the weight and moisture content of each layer. After multiple compactions, a uniform soil bed 4 is created. Before saturating the saturated sand bed 4 with water, the water inlet and outlet 2 must be opened. Once connected to a water source, saturation can occur.

[0094] In this embodiment, the shared anchor 1415 is made of 7075 aluminum alloy with an elastic modulus of 71.7 GPa. The outer diameter of the shared anchor 14 is 50 mm, the wall thickness is 2 mm, and the length is 800 mm. To avoid the influence of the boundary effect, when the shared anchor 14 is in the initial position on the surface of the test soil bed 4, in the loading direction, the distance between the center of the pile and the boundary of the box is not less than 250 mm (5D, D is the outer diameter of the shared anchor 14). The loading capacity of the first servo actuator 9-1 is 20 kN, the stroke is 300 mm, and the maximum linear speed is 100 mm / s. The loading capacity of the second servo actuator 10-1 and the third servo actuator 11-1 is 10 kN, the stroke is 300 mm, and the maximum linear speed is 100 mm / s. The first servo actuator 9-1, the second servo actuator 10-1, and the third servo actuator 11-1 all have high-precision displacement sensors with an accuracy of 0.001 mm. The servo actuator and force sensor are both connected to the intelligent control and data acquisition integrated system 15 (which can adopt a module commonly used in this field with the functions of data acquisition and controlling the operation of each operating component according to the set degree. The specific structure does not belong to the innovative protection point of the present invention and will not be repeated here). The system directly controls the loading of the actuator and the display and recording of real-time data during the loading process.

[0098] 3) Starting the intelligent control and data acquisition integrated system 15, statically pressing the shared anchor 14 into the test depth by setting the loading speed, completing the penetration process, and collecting experimental data.

[0099] 4) After the shared anchor 14 is statically penetrated, the height of the first loading frame beam 8-1 is adjusted, and the second servo actuator 10-1 is sequentially connected to the second force sensor 10-2, the second conversion head 10-3, the fourth force sensor 10-4, and the shared anchor 14; or the third servo actuator 11-1 is sequentially connected to the third force sensor 11-2, the third conversion head 11-3, the fifth force sensor 11-4, and the shared anchor 14; or the second servo actuator 10-1 and the third servo actuator 11-1 simultaneously apply load to the shared anchor 14.

[0100] 5) Start the intelligent control and data acquisition integrated system15, set the loading method and parameters, and record data including force and displacement during the loading process. The test should be stopped if any of the following conditions occur: i) during static loading, abnormal changes in horizontal force or displacement occur; ii) the force value fed back by the force sensor approaches full scale; iii) the movement of the actuator approaches full scale; iv) during dynamic loading, significant soil damage occurs, making force control difficult.

[0101] 6) After the loading process is completed, the loading wire rope, the fourth force sensor 10-4, the fifth force sensor 11-4, etc. are disassembled, and the shared anchor 14 after the test is completed is slowly pulled out using the first servo actuator 9-1 and the wire rope.
