Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of propagation speed measuring devices, and more particularly to a composite sensor suitable for high-speed ship speed measurement. Background Art

[0002] The speed of a ship occupies a very important position among its many performance characteristics. The increase in ship speed has put forward higher requirements on the adaptability of ship equipment, especially acoustic measuring equipment such as acoustic speed logs and acoustic depth sounders, to high-speed working conditions. There are cases showing that the speed measurement performance of Doppler speed logs is seriously reduced or even unable to measure speed when the speed is above 20kn. The depth sounder also has the problem of being unable to measure depth at high speed.

[0003] According to ship principles and related foreign research, when a ship is sailing, a layer of ocean current rich in bubbles will form on the bottom surface of the ship, which is close to the hull. The ocean current layer gradually deteriorates with the increase of speed and affects the stability of the flow field at the bottom of the ship. Cavitation may even occur at extremely high speeds. Since the bubbles around the hull have a considerable drag reduction effect, this research direction has always received widespread attention in the field of ship design at home and abroad, and is also one of the main factors that must be considered for ships to achieve high speeds.

[0004] Acoustic transducers are usually installed close to the hull at about 1 / 3 of the distance from the bow. Figure 1 The location has better flow field stability in the whole ship, but in actual application, when the speed exceeds 20kn, the flow field in this part presents complex uncertainty and unpredictability. According to the research report, the main factor affecting the performance of acoustic equipment is the bow flow bubble, which is generally recognized by industry experts.

[0005] Given the sensitivity of acoustic measurement equipment to bubbles in the measurement area, under high-speed conditions, when the bubble richness of the flow field in the installation area is sufficient to affect the normal transmission and reception of the transducer sound waves, the speed measurement accuracy and stability will be reduced, or even the speed measurement will be impossible.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] Please see attached Figure 2-11 A composite sensor suitable for high-speed speed measurement of the present invention comprises:

[0037] Phased array transducer 1, electronic cabin 2, electromagnetic speed measurement component 3, rod body 4, handle 5, watertight connector mounting block 6, watertight connector one 7, watertight connector two 8, phased array cable 9, electromagnetic speed measurement cable 10, impedance matching plate 11, stud 12, locking block 13, etc.

[0038] The upper end of the phased array transducer 1 is a plane, and the electronic cabin 2 is installed on the upper surface of the phased array transducer 1, and the seal between the two is achieved through an O-ring. The lower end of the phased array transducer is covered with a layer of vulcanized rubber by vulcanization process to form a streamlined surface, which can improve the acoustic velocity measurement performance at high speed.

[0039] The lower end of the electronic cabin 2 is open, an impedance matching plate 11 is installed in the inner cavity of the electronic cabin 2 , and the phased array cable 9 is electrically connected to the impedance matching plate 11 .

[0040] The upper end of the electronic cabin 2 is a plane, and the electromagnetic speed measuring assembly 3 is installed on the upper surface of the electronic cabin 2, and the sealing between the two is achieved by an O-ring.

[0041] The upper end of the electromagnetic speed measuring component 3 is a protruding shaft structure, which is embedded in the lower end hole of the rod body 4, and the end faces of the two are fitted together, and then fastened by a stud 12 and a nut, and the seal between the two is achieved by an O-ring.

[0042] The upper end of the rod body 4 is an externally threaded cylinder. After the handle 5 is inserted into the cylinder, the locking block 13 is screwed into the thread to fix the handle 5.

[0043] The watertight connector mounting block 6 is mounted on the upper end surface of the handle 5 and is fastened with screws.

[0044] The watertight connector 1 7 and the watertight connector 2 8 are mounted on the upper end surface of the watertight connector mounting block 6 and fastened with screws.

[0045] The electromagnetic speed measuring assembly 3 comprises a distributor 31, a shell 32, a guide rod 33, a coil assembly 34, an electrode assembly 35, an O-ring 36, an O-ring 37, etc., and the shell is made of copper.

[0046] Specifically, the shell 32 is composed of three sections from top to bottom. The upper flange provides a mounting surface for the splitter 31, the lower flange provides a mounting surface for the electronic cabin 2, and the middle part is a column with a wing-shaped cross-section. A 162×37 rectangular through hole is opened in the middle part, and a waist-shaped hole is opened at the center axis of the upper shell of the rectangular through hole. Both ends of the guide rod 33 are waist-shaped shafts, one end of which is inserted into the waist-shaped hole of the shell. The mutual position accuracy is ensured through design and processing, ensuring that the relative position relationship between the coil assembly 34 and the shell 32 is accurate. The guide rod 33 and the shell are fastened and sealed by epoxy resin bonding.

[0047] Specifically, the coil assembly 34 is mounted on the guide rod 33 , fastened by epoxy resin bonding, and electrically connected to the watertight connector 2 8 .

[0048] Specifically, the splitter 31 is fastened to the housing 32 with six fixing screws, and two wiring channels are opened in the middle to separately route the phased array cable 9 and the electromagnetic speed measurement cable 10, and lead them out from the central hole of the upper protruding shaft and another eccentric hole.

[0049] Specifically, since the phased array cable 9 and the electromagnetic speed measurement cable 10 cannot be physically isolated in the rod body, electromagnetic shielding heat shrink tubes can be used to cover the outside of the cables respectively to perform effective EMI shielding.

[0050] Specifically, the coil assembly 34 is composed of an upper frame 1-8, a lower frame 1-5, an upper coil core 1-7, a lower coil core 1-2, an upper coil 1-6, a lower coil 1-1, an adjustment block 1-3, an adjustment fastening screw 1-4, etc. Figure 5 As shown, from left to right are the lower coil 1-1, the lower coil core 1-2, the adjustment block 1-3, the adjustment fastening screw 1-4, the lower frame 1-5, the upper coil 1-6, the upper coil core 1-7, and the upper frame 1-8. The upper coil 1-6 is sleeved on the outside of the upper coil core 1-7, and the lower coil 1-1 is sleeved on the outside of the lower coil core 1-2. The 15-inch wide boss on the right side of the upper coil core 1-7 is embedded in the 15-inch wide groove opened in the upper frame 1-8, and the two are bonded and fixed by epoxy resin; the 15-inch wide boss on the right side of the upper coil core 1-7 is embedded in the 15-inch wide groove opened in the lower frame 1-5, and the two are bonded and fixed by epoxy resin; the arc surface of the lower frame 1-5 matches the arc surface of the adjustment block 1-3, and the arc surface of the adjustment block 1-3 can rotate around the arc surface of the lower frame 1-5. After determining that the upper coil 1-6 and the lower coil 1-1 are in the same direction, the two are fastened by adjusting the fastening screw 1-4; the 15-inch wide boss on the right side of the lower coil core 1-2 is embedded in the 15-inch wide groove opened in the adjustment block 1-3, and the two are bonded and fixed by epoxy resin.

[0051] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the upper coil core and the lower coil core are made of 1J50 iron-nickel soft magnetic alloy and are processed into an I-shaped core, which has the characteristics of high magnetic permeability, high saturation magnetic induction intensity, low hysteresis loss, etc., and can reduce the size of the coil core to ensure that there is enough potting space inside.

[0052] The core material adopts the following heat treatment process: H2 heating to 1150℃ and keeping it for 5 hours, cooling to 600℃ at 100℃ / hour, and cooling to below 300℃ at ≥400℃ / hour to ensure that it obtains the best magnetic and mechanical properties.

[0053] In the above embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame and the lower frame are made of modified epoxy dicyandiamide (ether) and solidified as one body after hot pressing, and have high mechanical strength and dielectric properties, good dimensional stability, heat resistance, moisture resistance and impact resistance.

[0054] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, after the upper coil and the lower coil are wound, they are wrapped with shielding copper foil on the outside, led out with a wire, and glass cloth tape is wrapped around the outer surface of the shielding copper foil, and vacuum dipped with epoxy insulating paint.

[0055] The coil assembly is installed on one side of the electrode assembly located in the inner cavity of the shell and is electrically connected to the watertight connector; the magnetic field is generated by the coil assembly, the electrode is exposed to seawater, the seawater and the ship move relative to each other, cutting the magnetic lines of force, and generating a signal that is linearly proportional to the relative water flow speed, thereby realizing the detection of the ship speed.

[0056] Specifically, the electrode assembly 35, such as Figure 7 As shown, it is divided into electrode assembly 1 and electrode assembly 2. Electrode assembly 1 includes electrode plate 1 2-1, electrode 1 2-2, welding piece 1 2-3, nut 1 2-4 and electrode wire 1 2-5, etc. Electrode assembly 2 includes electrode plate 2 3-1, electrode 2 3-2, welding piece 2 3-3, nut 2 3-4 and electrode wire 2 3-5, etc. Electrode 1 is arranged on the outer surface of electrode plate 1, and conformal design is adopted, and the outer surfaces of the two are consistent; electrode 2 is arranged on the outer surface of electrode plate 2, and conformal design is adopted, and the outer surfaces of the two are consistent. Welding piece one is arranged on the inner surface of electrode plate one at a position corresponding to electrode one, and a nut 2-4 is screwed into the thread at the rear of electrode one to press welding piece one, and is sealed by epoxy resin; electrode wire one is electrically connected to welding piece one by electric welding, and the other end is electrically connected to watertight connector 2 8; welding piece two is arranged on the inner surface of electrode plate two at a position corresponding to electrode two, and a nut 2-4 is screwed into the thread at the rear of electrode two to press welding piece two, and is sealed by epoxy resin; electrode wire two is electrically connected to welding piece two by electric welding, and the other end is electrically connected to watertight connector 2 8.

[0057] Specifically, because the magnitude of the magnetic field strength decreases as the distance between the electrode surface and the excitation coil increases, the design requires that the distance between the electrode 1 and the electrode 2 and the coil assembly 34 be as close as possible.

[0058] Specifically, fluid simulation technology was used to simulate and optimize the shell shape of the electromagnetic speed measuring component. The final design results were verified through water tunnel tests, and it was finally determined that the use of an airfoil-like shape can greatly reduce the impact of water flow disturbances near the electromagnetic speed measuring component on the flow velocity signal, improve the speed measurement stability, and at the same time increase the cavitation critical speed, making it easier to achieve stable speed measurement under high-speed conditions.

[0059] Specifically, the electromagnetic speed measurement component adopts epoxy resin bonding and casting technology, which has high bonding strength. The electrode component, coil component, shell, etc. are cast with epoxy resin and formed into a rigid body after high-temperature curing, and have high mechanical strength.

[0060] Whether the combination of the shell and the epoxy resin glue is tight and reliable is also particularly critical in the casting, so the mechanical processing quality and surface treatment process of the shell are extremely important. The shell should be fully considered when designing, and sharp corners and edges should be avoided as much as possible. Since the linear expansion coefficient of epoxy resin glue is much larger than that of metal materials, when metal materials are involved in the casting process, the thermal stress caused by temperature changes should be considered. It is this thermal stress and the shrinkage stress generated when the resin is cured that together constitute the internal stress of the solidified material, and this internal stress is often concentrated at the sharp corners of the metal material, especially after the curing reaction is completed. If the temperature drops too quickly, this stress will cause cracking, delamination and debonding of the solidified material. Therefore, the sharp corners and edges of the shell are inverted into R angles. After eliminating the sharp corners and edges, not only the bonding adhesion between the epoxy resin glue and the shell is improved, but also the stress concentration of the casting caused by the sharp corners and edges of the shell is prevented.

[0061] The 600kHz phased array transducer array consists of nearly a thousand independent transducer elements (such as Fig.10 As shown), the spacing between the transducers is 1.25 mm (according to the sound speed C = 1500 m / s), and the parallel connection between the transducer elements is Fig.11 The front radiating surface of the phased array is a common negative electrode, and an X-shaped lead is used to finally form eight transducer sub-arrays, namely X1, X2, X3, X4, Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4.

[0065] 3) The distance between each adjacent transducer is 1.25mm

[0066] 4) The front radiating surface of the phased array is a common negative pole.

[0067] 5) The connection of the rear radiation surface of the phased array is as follows Fig.11 As shown, an X-shaped lead is used to eventually form 8 transducer arrays, namely X1, X2, X3, X4, Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4.

[0070] 8) Maximum transmission voltage response level under natural directivity conditions of the array: Sv ≥ 185dB;

[0071] 9) Maximum emission sound source level under natural directivity conditions of the array: ≥230dB.

[0072] The input impedance and output impedance of the back-end processing circuit are both 50Ω, while the impedance of the phased array transducer is a non-standard value. In order to achieve impedance matching, an impedance matching board is required to achieve impedance transformation. The impedance matching board consists of 4 RM8 transformers to achieve impedance transformation between the phased array transducer and the back-end processing circuit.
