Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the construction of floating wind farms, submarine cables and anchor chains are key components that undertake the important tasks of transmitting electricity and stabilizing wind turbine platforms. In actual operation, these structures located in seawater are prone to the problem of marine organism attachment. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles, shellfish and other aquatic plants not only increases the weight of submarine cables and anchor chains, but also changes their fluid mechanics properties, which has an adverse effect on the stress condition and motion response. This effect may cause premature aging of equipment, performance degradation, and even cause safety hazards. In addition, the large-scale reproduction of marine organisms will reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of submarine cables, increase the resistance of cables, and thus lead to energy loss.
[0003] Currently, the cleaning methods for this problem mainly include manual cleaning by divers and cleaning using remote-controlled submersibles, but these traditional methods have many limitations. Divers are limited by water depth and safety risks, and although remote-controlled submersibles can work in deeper waters, their operation is complex and costly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a floating wind turbine dynamic submarine cable cleaning device, two symmetrical semicircular arc-shaped sliding sleeves 1 are connected by distance adjustment mechanisms 2 on both sides, a plurality of scraper mechanism 3 arrays are arranged in the sliding sleeve 1 along the height direction, each scraper mechanism 3 array is symmetrically and separately arranged on the two sliding sleeves 1 to form a rectangular frame structure, a submarine cable 4 is sleeved in the sliding sleeve 1 and abuts against the rectangular frame of the scraper mechanism 3, two other two sides of the sliding sleeve 1 are provided with two pump-jet propellers 5 with opposite spraying directions, and both ends of the sliding sleeve 1 are also provided with an original diameter measuring device 6 and a real-time diameter measuring device 7.
[0020] The present invention uses a sliding sleeve 1 as a basic structural component, and flexibly combines a driving device, a measuring device, and a scraping device to form an overall cleaning device. The device can adapt to submarine cables with different outer diameters by adjusting the distance adjustment mechanisms 2 on both sides. Multiple groups of scraper mechanisms 3 are arrayed, and each scraper mechanism 3 array forms a rectangular frame structure, which scrapes the circumferential surface of the submarine cable. The symmetrical separation structure of the two increases the overall flexibility of the device. The device completes the movement and parking operations through two pump-jet propellers 5 with opposite spraying directions on the other two sides of the sliding sleeve 1. The scraping depth and cleaning quality are measured by the original diameter measuring device 6 and the real-time diameter measuring device 7. The device automatically completes the cleaning process according to the measurement data.
[0021] In the preferred embodiment, in the distance adjusting mechanism 2, both ends of each hydraulic rod 201 are connected to the same side of the two sliding sleeves 1 at the same height through ear plates 101, and the hydraulic rod 201 and the ear plates 101 on the other side are symmetrically arranged, and the two sides constitute a group of distance adjusting mechanisms 2, and at least two groups of distance adjusting mechanisms 2 are arranged along the height direction of the sliding sleeve 1.
[0022] After receiving the required diameter change information from the control center 9, the hydraulic rod 201 pushes its piston rod to move and separates the sliding sleeves 1 on both sides to the corresponding distance.
[0023] In the preferred embodiment, the scraper mechanism 3 is a planar rectangular array composed of four groups of scraper units 301, and adjacent scraper units 301 are perpendicular to each other and separated from each other and are respectively arranged on the inner sides of two sliding sleeves 1. The connection points between the two scraper units 301 on the same side and the sliding sleeves 1 are the two end points and the midpoint of the semicircular arc.
[0024] In the preferred embodiment, the scraper unit 301 includes a spiral scraper 3011, a bearing seat 3012, a scraper motor 3013 and a motor seat 3014. One end of the spiral scraper 3011 is arranged at the end point on one side of the semicircular arc of the sliding sleeve 1 through the bearing seat 3012, and the other end is connected to the output shaft of the scraper motor 3013. The scraper motor 3013 is sealed and arranged at the midpoint of the semicircular arc of the sliding sleeve 1 through the motor seat 3014.
[0025] The scraper units 301 in the scraper mechanism 3 are separated or closed in pairs as the sliding sleeve 1 on the mounting side moves, the blade of the spiral scraper 3011 is tightly pressed against the surface of the desired cutting depth, and the scraper motor 3013 drives the spiral scraper 3011 to rotate to scrape the attached marine organisms.
[0026] The planar rectangular array formed by four scraper units 301 that are perpendicular to each other enables the scraping device to fit tightly against the surface to be cut and has multiple effective cutting points. Multiple rectangular scraper unit 301 arrays are arranged along the height direction, so that the cleaning device can simultaneously clean a length of submarine cable 4 when stationary, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency of the device.
[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the pump-jet propeller 5 includes a propeller housing 501, a drive motor 502, a rotating main shaft 503 and a propeller 504. The drive motor 502 is arranged at the rear end of the propeller housing 501, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating main shaft 503. The rotating main shaft 503 penetrates from the rear end of the propeller housing 501 and extends to the front end. The propeller 504 is sleeved on the rotating main shaft 503. The drive motor 502 drives the propeller 504 to rotate, so as to promote the water flow inside the propeller housing 501.
[0028] The pump-jet propeller 5 is a closed propulsion system that draws in water flow and accelerates it out through the internal impeller to generate thrust. Compared with traditional propellers, the pump-jet propeller 5 can reduce noise, improve efficiency, and is less likely to be damaged by entanglements. Due to its closed design, the pump-jet propeller 5 can provide higher propulsion efficiency at high speeds. Its propeller 504 is protected in the propeller housing 501, reducing water flow losses and enabling better control of water flow, which helps to increase thrust.
[0029] In the preferred embodiment, the thruster housing 501 is in the shape of an elongated cylinder, one end of which gradually decreases along the length direction of the thruster housing 501 to form a jet port 5011 with a gradually decreasing diameter, and the other end is provided with a water inlet on one side, and a filter cover 5012 is provided on the end face of the water inlet.

[0030] By providing a gradually shrinking jet port 5011, the fluid mechanics performance of the internal water flow is optimized, so that the water flow drawn in by the propeller 504 driven by the drive motor 502 can be ejected at a greater speed, thereby obtaining a greater propulsion force.
[0031] In the preferred embodiment, a rotating bearing 505, a first propeller 5041, a first rectifying grid 506, a second propeller 5042 and a second rectifying grid 507 are sequentially provided on the rotating main shaft 503 along the direction from the tail of the propeller housing 501 to the injection port 5011.

[0032] By providing a rotating bearing 505 and a plurality of rectifying grids, a rotating guide and support are provided for the high-speed rotating main shaft 503 with a long length span. The rectifying grid can also guide the fluid flow, reduce turbulence, and improve propulsion efficiency.
[0033] In the preferred embodiment, the original diameter measuring device 6 includes a transmitting coil 601 and a receiving coil 602, the transmitting coil 601 and the receiving coil 602 are respectively connected to the two ends of the sliding sleeve 1 through an elastic member array 8, and the coil diameter is adapted to the distance adjustment range of the sliding sleeve 1; The original diameter measuring device 6 is used to measure the diameter of the metal part of the submarine cable 4 in the section.
[0034] The original diameter measuring device 6 measures the size of the submarine cable based on electromagnetic induction technology, that is, when the conductor moves in a changing magnetic field or the magnetic field itself changes, an electromotive force will be generated in the conductor. During the detection process, the transmitting coil 601 is first used to generate a low-frequency alternating electromagnetic field, which penetrates the seawater and interacts with the metal parts in the submarine cable 4. The metal conductor in the submarine cable 4 will respond to this alternating electromagnetic field, produce eddy current effects, and generate currents inside the conductors, which in turn generate their own secondary magnetic fields. The receiving coil 602 is used to detect the secondary magnetic field generated by the submarine cable 4. By analyzing the received signal strength, phase and other characteristics, the diameter and shape data of the submarine cable can be inferred and transmitted to the control center 9.
[0035] When the distance between the sliding sleeves 1 changes, the two halves of the sliding sleeves 1 are elastically connected via the elastic member array 8 to avoid loosening or deformation.
[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the real-time diameter measuring device 7 includes a rotating seat 701, a connecting rod 702, a roller 703, an angle sensor 704 and a homing component 706. One end of the connecting rod 702 is rotatably connected to the roller 703, the roller 703 abuts on the surface of the submarine cable 4, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 701. The rotating pin 705 of the rotating seat 701 is connected to the input shaft of the angle sensor 704 to detect the rotation angle of the connecting rod 702. The homing component 706 is also provided on the rotating pin 705. One end of the homing component 706 is connected to the connecting rod 702, and the other end is connected to one side of the rotating seat 701 to make the connecting rod 702 always face the center of the sliding sleeve 1. A plurality of real-time diameter measuring devices 7 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the sliding sleeve 1 through a rotating seat 701, forming two arrays of real-time diameter measuring devices 7; The distance adjustment mechanism 2 , the scraper mechanism 3 , the pump-jet propeller 5 , the original diameter measuring device 6 , and the real-time diameter measuring device 7 are all electrically connected to the control center 9 .
[0037] The real-time diameter measuring device 7 slides along the surface of the cable 4 via the roller 703. The height fluctuation of the surface of the cable 4 is transmitted to the angle sensor 704 through the corresponding lifting and lowering of the connecting rod 702. The rotation angle information is analyzed to obtain the fluctuation height information and send it to the control center 9.

Preliminary preparation: Check the operating performance of each component and the integrity of the signal connection.

If it does not meet the standard, the reverse pump-jet propeller 5 retreats and positions and cleans again; S7. Repeat steps S2 to S6 until the submarine cable 4 within the target length is cleaned.
