[0002] When offshore engineering equipment is working, it will be affected by wind, wave, current and other natural factors, causing six degrees of freedom motion. Among them, the heave, roll and pitch motion forms can cause the load to move in the vertical direction, which may cause unexpected collision between the load and the platform, or the landed load resuspended. These sudden situations, light equipment damage, steel cable breakage, heavy may cause safety accidents, endanger personnel safety. To ensure the smooth progress of offshore operation, and expand the sea state range of operation, offshore engineering equipment must be equipped with heave compensation system.

[0003] Heave compensation system can be divided into fixed and mobile according to installation mode; according to working principle, it can be divided into winch rotary type and oil cylinder linear type; according to power supply mode, it can be divided into passive compensation type, active compensation type and active and passive combination compensation type. The actuator of linear compensation system is hydraulic cylinder, compared with winch and other equipment with large rotational inertia, its system response is more rapid, and the control precision is also higher. However, most of the current linear compensation systems are limited to fixed installation on the ship, and do not have the ability to work underwater or move, and cannot compensate for the external water pressure in deep water high pressure environment, while facing the problem of continuous work in different working conditions such as water and underwater compensation, splash zone compensation. Part of the compensation system with underwater operation capability mostly only has simple passive compensation function, while a few systems with active compensation function have problems such as complex structure and large volume.

[0004] In the existing active compensation scheme, if ordinary single-rod hydraulic cylinder is used as heave compensation hydraulic cylinder, its compensation system has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, but because there are only two functional cavities inside the ordinary hydraulic cylinder, it is difficult to realize the active control function of the compensation cylinder extension / retraction process, resulting in the problem of large fluctuation of motor working condition and active cavity working pressure of compensation cylinder in the process of reversing and speed regulation of hydraulic pump, poor compensation accuracy and running stability; if the heave compensation system based on accumulator is used, although the extension / retraction motion of heave compensation hydraulic cylinder can be indirectly controlled in both directions by controlling the accumulator, its structure is complex, the increase of link leads to the increase of system pressure and energy loss, and the indirect control method using accumulator is easy to cause large control system lag, and it is difficult to obtain ideal compensation accuracy.

[0007] The application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] The application discloses a linear heave compensation device based on a composite cylinder, which comprises a heave compensation execution cylinder, an integrated control cylinder, a double variable pump, a constant speed motor, an oil storage accumulator, an oil supplement accumulator, a pressure balance accumulator, a gas cylinder group, a gas-liquid converter, an MRU motion posture sensor, a cooler, a filter, an oil supplement pump, a pressure sensor, a displacement sensor, a temperature sensor and various control valves and check valves; the heave compensation execution cylinder is communicated with the rodless cavity of the integrated control cylinder to realize water depth compensation; the double variable pump driven by the constant speed motor supplies oil to the cavities of the heave compensation execution cylinder and the integrated control cylinder alternately through an active compensation switch valve to realize active compensation; the cavities of the heave compensation execution cylinder and the integrated control cylinder are communicated to realize passive compensation; the two cavities are communicated through an electromagnetic cut-off valve to realize switching of active and passive compensations; the rod cavity of the heave compensation execution cylinder is connected with the gas cylinder group through the gas-liquid converter; the gas cylinder group comprises a low-pressure gas collecting cylinder, a high-pressure gas source cylinder, a working gas cylinder and a splash zone gas cylinder; the working gas cylinder is used for water and underwater compensation; the splash zone gas cylinder is used for hoisting a load to pass through a splash zone; the high-pressure gas source cylinder supplements pressure for other gas cylinders; the low-pressure gas collecting cylinder is used for temporarily collecting gas when high-pressure gas is difficult to discharge underwater; an electromagnetic cut-off valve is connected to the outlet of each gas cylinder to realize switching of different modes of the gas cylinders; the gas cylinder group is connected with a discharge valve through an air filter; the discharge valve can release pressure of the gas cylinder and plays a safety protection role; the gas cylinder is communicated with the gas cavity of the gas-liquid converter through a throttle valve block; the gas cavity pressure can be buffered by controlling the throttle valve block; the liquid cavity of the gas-liquid converter is connected to the rod cavity of the heave compensation execution cylinder through a throttle valve block and is communicated with a plug-in check valve and an overflow valve to form a safety protection loop; the rod cavity of the integrated control cylinder is communicated with the pressure balance accumulator to balance pressure fluctuation caused by switching of different modes of the gas cylinders; the oil storage accumulator plays a role of an oil tank in the closed hydraulic system; the oil supplement pump driven by the direct current servo motor and the oil supplement accumulator jointly realize oil supplement of the system; the temperature sensor is connected to the outlet of the double variable pump; when the temperature of the hydraulic closed loop is too high, a heat dissipation loop switch valve is opened to open a heat dissipation loop; at this time, oil in the composite cylinder cavity can flow into the cooler through the heat dissipation loop switch valve and flow back to the oil storage accumulator through the filter; a cooling fan is additionally arranged to realize oil cooling; pressure sensors are arranged at the outlets of the composite cylinder cavities and key oil lines to monitor pressure conditions of the oil lines in real time; the lower end of the piston rod of the heave compensation execution cylinder is connected with a hoisting load through an ear ring; the piston rod is provided with the displacement sensor; the control unit collects ship heave motion signals through the MRU and realizes displacement closed-loop control together with the compensation displacement signals detected by the sensor.

[0009] The linear heave compensation device based on the composite cylinder is described. In the initial state, the piston rod of the heave compensation actuator cylinder is balanced by the combined action of the force of the pressure balance accumulator, the force of the gas cylinder group and the gravity of the load; the pressure balance accumulator provides pressure for the rod chamber of the integrated control cylinder, which is transmitted to its rodless chamber through the piston rod of the integrated control cylinder. Since the rodless chamber of the heave compensation actuator cylinder is connected to the rodless chamber of the integrated control cylinder, the pressure balance accumulator provides pre-charge pressure for the rodless chamber of the heave compensation actuator cylinder in the initial state, thereby preventing the two-way variable pump from sucking oil from the inner chamber of the compensation actuator cylinder in the initial state and causing negative pressure in the inner chamber. In the initial state, the pressure balance accumulator acts on the piston rod of the heave compensation actuator cylinder to provide a downward balancing force; the gas cylinder group is connected to the gas-liquid converter, provides pressure to the rod chamber of the heave compensation actuator cylinder, and provides an upward passive compensation force on the piston rod of the heave compensation actuator cylinder;

[0010] In the active control of the linear heave compensation device based on the composite cylinder, the control unit controls the displacement and direction of the bidirectional variable pump in real time based on the received ship heave signal and the displacement signal of the piston rod of the compensation actuator cylinder. The two ports of the bidirectional variable pump are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder and the inner cavity of the integrated control cylinder.

[0011] When the ship drives the compensation device to rise, the active control unit controls the bidirectional variable pump to supply oil to the inner cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder, and the oil supply pump supplies oil to the oil suction port of the bidirectional variable pump. The oil in the inner cavity of the integrated control cylinder flows into the oil storage accumulator through the heat dissipation circuit. The inner cavity volume of the integrated control cylinder decreases, the volume of its rod cavity increases, and the piston rod retracts; at the same time, the inner cavity volume of the heave compensation actuator cylinder increases, thereby reducing the volume of the rod cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder, thereby causing the piston rod of the heave compensation actuator cylinder to extend, compensating for the upward displacement of the hoisted load;

[0012] When the ship drives the compensation device to descend, the active control unit controls the two-way variable pump to supply oil to the inner cavity of the integrated control cylinder, and the oil supply pump supplies oil to the oil suction port of the two-way variable pump. The oil in the inner cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder flows into the oil storage accumulator through the heat dissipation circuit. The inner cavity volume of the integrated control cylinder increases, and the volume of its rod cavity decreases, and the piston rod extends. At the same time, the inner cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder decreases, thereby increasing the volume of the rod cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder, thereby achieving the retraction of the piston rod of the heave compensation actuator cylinder, compensating for the downward displacement of the hoisted load.

[0013] In the linear heave compensation device based on the composite cylinder, when passive control is performed, upon receiving a passive compensation signal, the control unit controls the bidirectional variable pump to idle, and connects the inner cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder with the inner cavity of the integrated control cylinder through the electromagnetic switch valve to achieve pressure balance. The working pressure of the gas cylinder group adjusts the pressure in the rod cavity of the heave compensation actuator cylinder to achieve passive heave compensation.

[0014] The composite cylinder-based linear heave compensation device, the gas bottle group is communicated with the gas-liquid converter, provides pressure to the rod cavity of the heave compensation execution cylinder to bear the load, the bidirectional variable pump is communicated with the inner cavity of the heave compensation execution cylinder to provide active force, and the active force and passive force jointly act to realize a more efficient and more energy-saving heave compensation scheme.

[0015] The composite cylinder-based linear heave compensation device, when the heave compensation device is in an underwater environment, water pressure acts on the piston rod of the heave compensation execution cylinder and the integrated control cylinder, respectively, and the pressure is conducted to the rodless cavities of the two composite cylinders, respectively, the pressure change is offset by the communication between the two cavities, the water depth compensation function is realized, the water depth compensation function is integrated into the integrated control cylinder, the structure of the compensation device is more compact, and the pressure loss is reduced.

[0016]

[0017] The composite cylinder-based linear heave compensation device has an independent heat dissipation circuit, when the constant-speed motor drives the bidirectional variable pump to supply oil to the inner cavity of the heave compensation execution cylinder, the oil in the inner cavity of the integrated control cylinder flows back to the oil storage accumulator, and under the continuous working state of the system, the oil in the two inner cavities is continuously replaced, which causes the oil temperature to be too high, at this time, the heat dissipation circuit switch valve is connected to the upper position, the oil flows into the cooler and is cooled by the heat dissipation fan, and then flows back to the oil storage accumulator through the filter.

[0018] The present application has the advantages that:
