TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of cable arrangement control of deep-sea winch, in particular to a cross cable arrangement control method of deep-sea winch. BACKGROUND
[0002] In deep-sea operations, winch system is the key equipment to ensure efficient management and stable operation of the cable. The current cable arrangement technology mainly adopts the traditional layering arrangement method, which usually winds the cable in parallel in each layer on the cable storage device. This method can meet the storage needs of the cable to some extent, but there are several significant problems in practical application.
[0003] The traditional layering arrangement technology realizes the storage of the cable by winding the cable in layers on the cable storage device. The main defects of this method include: first, as the cable is used, the cable is prone to cable embedding between layers, the friction between layers is intensified, which accelerates the wear of the cable, thereby reducing the service life of the cable. Especially when dealing with small-diameter cables and flexible cables, the traditional layering arrangement method shows more limitations. Small-diameter cables are prone to winding and misplacement during cable storage due to their small diameter, which affects the arrangement effect and operation stability of the cable. And flexible cables may cause uneven distribution of the cable in the traditional layering arrangement due to their good bending performance and greater flexibility, which increases the friction force of the cable during storage and release, further affecting the stability and use effect of the cable arrangement. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a cross cable arrangement control method of deep-sea winch which improves the stability and reliability of cable arrangement, especially suitable for small-diameter and flexible cables,
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present application is as follows:
[0006] A cross cable arrangement control method of deep-sea winch, comprising the following steps:
[0007] First, according to the preset angle θ and the diameter d of the cable storage drum, the displacement of the cable arrangement device corresponding to one revolution of the cable storage drum is calculated
[0008] Second, according to the real-time speed n of the cable storage drum, the time corresponding to one revolution of the drum is calculated Further, the moving speed v of the cable arrangement device is obtained l0 ;
[0009] t1
[0010] Third, the cable arrangement device starts from the zero point side of the cable storage drum, and after following the cable storage drum at a speed v for one revolution in the positive direction of the x-axis, the cable arrangement device moves in the negative direction of the x-axis at a speed v.
[0011] Fourth step, the cable arrangement device moves along the x-axis negative direction displacement l0-l1, and then moves along the x-axis positive direction again, and the second step and the third step are repeatedly until the cable arrangement device reaches the non-zero point side of the cable storage drum and stops moving;
[0012] Fifth step, the cable arrangement device stops for t1 time, waits for the cable storage drum to rotate for a half circle, and then the cable arrangement device starts from the non-zero point side of the cable storage drum and follows the cable storage drum with the speed v along the x-axis negative direction for a half circle, and then the cable arrangement device moves along the x-axis positive direction with the speed v;
[0013] Sixth step, the cable arrangement device moves along the x-axis positive direction displacement l0-l1, and then moves along the x-axis negative direction again, and the second step and the fifth step are repeatedly until the cable arrangement device reaches the zero point side of the cable storage drum and stops moving;
[0014] Seventh step, the cable arrangement device stops for t1 time, waits for the cable storage drum to rotate for a half circle, and then the cable arrangement device repeats the second, third, fourth and fifth steps until the winding of the cable is completed.
[0015] Further, the control method is used for controlling the cable arrangement device to assist the cable storage device to store the cable, wherein the ball screw of the cable arrangement device is driven by the cable arrangement motor to drive the left and right movement of the cable arrangement device, so as to ensure the entry angle between the cable and the cable storage device; the cable storage drum is driven by the cable storage drum motor to realize the winding and unwinding of the cable.
[0016] Further, the sensors required by the automatic cable arrangement of the deep-sea winch include a cable storage drum encoder, a cable arrangement angle encoder, a cable arrangement right limit limit switch, a cable arrangement left limit limit switch and a cable arrangement encoder; the cable storage drum encoder is installed on the rotating center shaft of the cable storage drum and is used for measuring the rotating pulse number and speed of the cable storage drum; the cable arrangement angle encoder is installed on the rotating pulley center shaft of the cable arrangement device and is used for measuring the deflection angle of the cable from the cable arrangement device to the cable storage drum; the cable arrangement right limit limit switch and the cable arrangement left limit limit switch are respectively installed on the leftmost side and the rightmost side of the cable arrangement device and are used for limiting the left and right limit positions of the movable cable arrangement device; the cable arrangement device automatically stops when moving to any limit position and cannot continue to move forward; the cable arrangement encoder is installed on the center shaft of the cable arrangement roller screw and is used for measuring the rotating pulse number and speed of the cable arrangement roller screw.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0018] 1. The cross-cable arrangement mode can effectively reduce the cable embedding risk between layers. By forming a 90-degree cross relationship between each layer of cables, compared with the traditional parallel arrangement, the cross-cable arrangement can significantly reduce the possibility of cable entanglement and extrusion, thereby reducing the wear and damage of the cable during use and prolonging the service life of the cable.
[0019] 2. Cross-laying is particularly suitable for handling small-diameter and flexible cables. When handling small-diameter cables, cross-laying can effectively prevent tangling and misalignment caused by the small diameter; while for flexible cables, cross-laying technology can better adapt to their flexibility, reduce friction and uneven distribution, and ensure the stability and smooth operation of the cable during storage and release.
