Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The rapidity of the ship occupies a very important position in its many performances, and the improvement of the ship speed puts forward higher requirements for the high-speed working adaptability of the acoustic measuring equipment, such as acoustic log and acoustic depth finder. It has been shown in some cases that the Doppler log appears to have serious speed measurement performance decline or even unable to measure speed when the speed is above 20 kn, and the depth finder also has the problem of unable to measure depth at high speed.

[0003] According to the principle of the ship and the relevant research abroad, a flow layer rich in bubbles close to the ship body will be formed on the bottom surface of the ship when the ship is sailing, which will gradually deteriorate with the increase of the speed and affect the stability of the bottom flow field, and even cavitation phenomenon will occur at very high speed. Since the bubbles around the ship body have considerable drag reduction effect, this research direction has been widely concerned in the field of domestic and foreign ship design, and is one of the main factors that must be considered for the realization of high speed of the ship.

[0004] The acoustic transducer is generally installed close to the ship body at about 1 / 3 of the bow of the ship, Figure 1 near the middle B area), which has better flow field stability in the whole ship, but in actual application, when the speed exceeds 20 kn, the flow field at this position presents complex uncertainty and unpredictability. According to the research report, the main factor affecting the performance of acoustic equipment is the flow bubble of the bow of the ship, which is generally recognized by experts in the industry.

The design and processing ensure the mutual positional accuracy and the accurate mutual positional relationship between the coil assembly 34 and the shell 32. The guide rod 33 and the shell are fastened and sealed by epoxy resin bonding.

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

[0048] Specifically, the line splitter 31 is fastened with the shell 32 by six fixing screws, two wire routing channels are provided in the middle, the phased array cable 9 and the electromagnetic speed measuring cable 10 are routed separately, and are led out from the upper end protruding shaft center hole and another eccentric hole.

[0049] Specifically, the phased array cable 9 and the electromagnetic velocity measurement cable 10 cannot be physically isolated in the rod body, and can be wrapped with electromagnetic shielding heat shrink tubes outside the cables respectively to effectively shield EMI.

[0050] Specifically, the coil assembly 34 is composed of the upper framework 1-8, the lower framework 1-5, the upper coil core 1-7, the lower coil core 1-2, the upper coil 1-6, the lower coil 1-1, the adjusting block 1-3, the adjusting fastening screw 1-4, and the like.

The right side of the upper coil core 1-7 with a width of 15 is embedded in the groove with a width of 15 of the lower framework 1-5, and the two are fixed by epoxy resin. The circular arc surface of the lower framework 1-5 is consistent with the circular arc surface of the adjusting block 1-3, the circular arc surface of the adjusting block 1-3 can rotate around the circular arc surface of the lower framework 1-5, and after the directions of the upper coil 1-6 and the lower coil 1-1 are determined, the two are fastened by the adjusting fastening screw 1-4. The right side of the lower coil core 1-2 with a width of 15 is embedded in the groove with a width of 15 of the adjusting block 1-3, and the two are fixed by epoxy resin.

[0051] In the above embodiment of the application, the upper coil core and the lower coil core are made of 1J50 ferrous nickel soft magnetic alloy and processed into I-shaped cores, which have the characteristics of high magnetic permeability, high saturation magnetic induction intensity, and low magnetic hysteresis loss, can reduce the size of the coil core, and ensure sufficient space for internal filling.

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

[0053] In the above embodiment of the application, the upper framework and the lower framework are integrally solidified after being hot-pressed from modified epoxy dicyandiamide (acyl ether), which has high mechanical strength and dielectric properties, good dimensional stability, heat resistance, moisture resistance, and impact resistance.

[0054] In the above embodiment of the application, after the upper coil and the lower coil are wound, they are wrapped with shielding copper foil, then lead wires are drawn out, glass cloth adhesive tape is wound around the outer edge of the shielding copper foil, and vacuum impregnation treatment is performed by using epoxy insulating paint.

[0055] The coil assembly is installed on one side of the electrode assembly in the cavity of the shell and is electrically connected with the water-tight connector; a magnetic field is generated by the coil assembly, the electrode is exposed to seawater, the seawater moves relative to the ship, cuts the magnetic induction lines, and generates a signal in linear proportion to the relative water flow velocity, so that the speed of the ship is detected.

[0056] Specifically, the electrode assembly 35 is divided into an electrode assembly one and an electrode assembly two, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 The electrode one is arranged on the outer side surface of the electrode plate one and adopts a conformal design, and the outer surfaces of the electrode one and the electrode plate one are consistent; the electrode two is arranged on the outer side surface of the electrode plate two and adopts a conformal design, and the outer surfaces of the electrode two and the electrode plate two are consistent. The welding piece one is arranged on the inner side surface of the electrode plate one at a position corresponding to the electrode one, and the welding piece one is pressed by screwing the nut one 2-4 into the threads at the rear of the electrode one and is sealed by epoxy resin; the electrode lead one is electrically connected with the welding piece one by an electric welding process, and the other end is electrically connected with the water-tight connector two 8; the welding piece two is arranged on the inner side surface of the electrode plate two at a position corresponding to the electrode two, and the welding piece two is pressed by screwing the nut two 2-4 into the threads at the rear of the electrode two and is sealed by epoxy resin; the electrode lead two is electrically connected with the welding piece two by an electric welding process, and the other end is electrically connected with the water-tight connector two 8.

[0057] Specifically, because the magnetic field strength decreases with the increase of the distance between the electrode surface and the excitation coil, the distance between the electrode one and the electrode two and the coil assembly 34 is required to be as close as possible in the design.

[0058] Specifically, the fluid simulation technology is used to simulate and optimize the shape of the shell of the electromagnetic speed measurement assembly. The final design result is verified by a water tunnel test, and finally a wing-shaped shape is adopted, which can greatly reduce the influence of water flow disturbance near the electromagnetic speed measurement assembly on the flow velocity signal, improve the speed measurement stability, and at the same time improve the cavitation critical speed, so as to realize stable speed measurement at high speed.

[0059] Specifically, the electromagnetic speed measurement assembly adopts an epoxy resin bonding and pouring process, has high bonding strength, and the electrode assembly, the coil assembly, and the shell are poured with epoxy resin and formed into a rigid body after high-temperature curing, so the mechanical strength is very high.

[0060] The problem of whether the combination of the shell and the epoxy resin glue is tight and reliable is particularly crucial in the pouring part, so the machining quality and surface treatment process of the shell are extremely important. The shell should be considered comprehensively in design to avoid sharp corners and edges as much as possible. Because the linear expansion coefficient of the epoxy resin glue is much larger than that of the metal material, when the metal material is poured, the thermal stress caused by temperature change should be considered. It is this thermal stress and the shrinkage stress generated during the curing of the resin that together form the internal stress of the cured product, and this internal stress often concentrates at the sharp corners of the metal material, especially after the curing reaction is completed, if the temperature is lowered too quickly, this stress will cause the cured product to crack, delaminate and debond. Therefore, the sharp corners and edges of the shell are rounded into R angles, which not only improves the adhesion of the epoxy resin glue to the shell, but also prevents stress concentration caused by sharp corners and edges of the shell.

[0061] 600 kHz phased array transducer array has nearly a thousand independent transducer elements (as shown in Figure 10 The spacing between the transducers is 1.25 mm (according to the sound speed C=1500 meters / second), and the parallel form between the transducer elements is connected in the manner shown in Figure 11 The front radiation surface of the phased array is the common negative electrode, X-type leads are used, and finally 8 transducer subarrays X1, X2, X3, X4, Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 are formed.

[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 non-standard. In order to realize impedance matching, an impedance matching board is needed to realize impedance transformation. The impedance matching board is composed of four RM8 transformers, which realizes impedance transformation between the phased array transducer and the back-end processing circuit.
