Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic digital data processing. Specifically, it relates to a method, medium, and system for detecting weld seams in the welding of floating plates of oil storage tanks. Background Art

[0002] Floating storage tanks are widely used in the fields of offshore oil exploitation and storage, and are one of the key equipment to ensure the efficient utilization of marine oil resources. Such floating storage tanks usually consist of a cylindrical floating plate and an oil storage tank located inside it. The function of the floating plate is to provide buoyancy support for the oil storage tank, ensuring that the entire storage tank system can float stably on the sea surface. Compared with fixed storage tanks, floating storage tanks have higher adaptability and flexibility, and can cope with complex marine environmental conditions.

[0003] However, during the long-term operation of floating storage tanks at sea, their structures are severely impacted by external forces such as waves, wind waves, and ocean currents, resulting in various deformations and damages to the floating plates, ultimately affecting the service life and safety of the entire storage tank. The welded joint parts on the floating plates are the key parts most prone to problems. Due to the action of complex external dynamic loads, these weld seams are prone to failures such as fractures and cracks, and may even cause serious environmental pollution accidents. Therefore, how to effectively detect and evaluate the quality status of the weld seams of floating storage tanks and timely discover abnormal situations has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0004] In response to the above problems, some existing detection methods have been proposed in the industry, such as using ultrasonic flaw detection, X-ray imaging, etc. to conduct conventional non-destructive testing on weld seams. However, these methods usually can only statically evaluate the internal quality of weld seams and cannot comprehensively reflect the actual stress and strain states of weld seams under dynamic working conditions. In addition, the existing detection methods also have problems such as unreasonable parameter settings, low detection accuracy, and inability to achieve real-time monitoring. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of weld seam detection method that can comprehensively analyze the dynamic mechanical behavior of weld seams and achieve adaptive parameter optimization and real-time warning functions, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire storage tank system.

[0132] By collecting the weld feature matrices obtained by these three different detection methods, the information on the internal quality, surface quality, and deformation characteristics of the weld can be comprehensively understood, providing the necessary basic data for subsequent stress-strain analysis and comprehensive evaluation.

[0133] Next, for step S30, dynamic stress-strain analysis needs to be carried out. It includes:

[0134] Construction of the stress matrix:

[0135] The stress matrix contains normal stress components and shear stress components. These stress data are obtained from the height matrix , attitude matrix and relative displacement matrix obtained in step S10 through the principal stress calculation equation:

This equation takes into account the hydrostatic pressure, attitude angle, and motion speed of the floating ship plate's influence on stress and can accurately reflect the stress state borne by the weld.

[0138] Construction of the strain matrix:

[0139] The strain matrix contains normal strain components and shear strain components. These strain data are calculated through the strain distribution equation based on the stress matrix obtained above and the material mechanical property parameters:

[0140] ;

[0141] where, is the elastic modulus, is the Poisson's ratio, is the Kronecker symbol, . This equation is based on the generalized Hooke's law and considers the coupling effect of strains under three-dimensional stress states.

[0142] Application of the stress-strain correlation equations:

[0150] Next, for step S40, a comprehensive evaluation matrix of weld quality needs to be constructed. It includes:

[0151] Weighted combination of feature matrices:

[0152] The ultrasonic flaw detection feature matrix, X-ray imaging feature matrix obtained in step S20, and the stress-strain matrix obtained in steps S301 and S302 are weighted and combined to reflect the importance degree of different detection means for weld quality evaluation:

For example, it can be set , so that ultrasonic flaw detection accounts for 40%, X-ray imaging accounts for 30%, and stress and strain account for 30%. By adjusting these weight coefficients, the weight distribution of the evaluation indexes can be flexibly determined according to different application scenarios and detection requirements.

[0159] Generally speaking, step S40 constructs a comprehensive evaluation matrix. By weighted combination of the characteristic data of different detection means, an evaluation result comprehensively reflecting the quality status of the weld is obtained. This lays a foundation for subsequent adaptive adjustment and real-time monitoring.

[0174] Finally, for step S60, real-time monitoring and early warning need to be performed. It includes:

[0175] Construction of the weld state vector:

[0176] Construct the weld state vector , including the integrity index , the stress concentration index and the fatigue damage index . These indexes reflect the overall quality status of the weld and provide a basis for subsequent safety early warning.

[0177] Setting of the safety threshold matrix:

[0181] Generally speaking, step S60 establishes a set of real-time monitoring and early warning mechanisms. By setting reasonable safety thresholds, key indicators such as the integrity of the weld, stress concentration, and fatigue damage of the weld are monitored in real time. Once an abnormal situation is detected, an early warning can be issued in a timely manner, providing support for subsequent maintenance and ensuring the safe operation of the system.

[0182] The second aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein program instructions are stored in the computer-readable storage medium, and when the program instructions run on a computer, they are used to execute the above-mentioned weld detection method for the floating deck welding of an oil storage tank.

[0183] The third aspect of the present invention provides a weld detection system for the floating deck welding of an oil storage tank, which includes the above-mentioned computer-readable storage medium.

[0184] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is as follows: By making full use of the motion characteristic data of the floating deck and through matrix operations, the accurate analysis of the dynamic stress and strain state of the weld is realized, and based on this, comprehensive quality evaluation and real-time monitoring and early warning are carried out. The key to this method lies in establishing a close connection between the motion characteristics of the floating deck and the mechanical behavior of the weld.

[0185] First, a motion characteristic matrix of the floating deck is constructed, including a height matrix, an attitude matrix, and a relative displacement matrix. Among them, the height matrix records the real-time height data of each measuring point at different times, reflecting the displacement change of the floating deck in the vertical direction; the attitude matrix includes pitch angle, roll angle, yaw angle, and velocity components in three directions, describing the attitude change of the floating deck in the horizontal and vertical directions; the relative displacement matrix gives the deformation of the circumferential weld and the radial weld during the floating process. These data lay a necessary foundation for subsequent stress and strain analysis.

[0186] Secondly, three common non-destructive testing characteristics are collected for the weld, namely ultrasonic flaw detection, X-ray imaging, and surface topography. These test results are recorded in the form of a matrix, providing multi-angle data support for the comprehensive evaluation of the weld quality.

[0187] On this basis, a stress-strain correlation equation set is established, including equations for principal stress calculation, shear stress calculation, strain distribution, and fatigue damage accumulation. These equations fully consider the unique dynamic working conditions of the floating deck, such as hydrostatic pressure, attitude angle change, motion speed, etc., and accurately simulate the stress and strain state borne by the weld. Through matrix operations, the stress and strain distribution of each part of the weld can be quickly obtained, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent comprehensive evaluation.

[0188] To ensure the accuracy of the detection results, the adaptive adjustment of detection parameters is also realized. Specifically, an optimization matrix including key parameters such as ultrasonic angle, X-ray parameters, and strain acquisition frequency is established. Using the weld quality evaluation result as the optimization goal, through the parameter update equation combining gradient descent and Newton's method, the optimal combination of detection parameters can be dynamically found, continuously improving the performance of the entire detection system.

[0189] Finally, a weld state monitoring and early warning mechanism is constructed. Three indicators reflecting the overall quality of the weld are defined, namely the integrity indicator, the stress concentration indicator, and the fatigue damage indicator, and corresponding safety thresholds are set. The system will collect and analyze the data of these indicators in real time. Once any indicator exceeds the threshold, an early warning signal will be immediately issued. This can not only timely detect the abnormal weld quality, but also provide strong support for subsequent maintenance, thus ensuring the safe operation of the entire storage tank system.

[0190] The following provides an embodiment of a specific application scenario of the present invention: An offshore oil enterprise conducts floating storage tank operation business in a certain area of the South China Sea. The storage tank system consists of a cylindrical floating ship plate with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 30 meters and an internal oil storage tank of 100,000 cubic meters. To ensure the safe operation of the storage tank system, the enterprise decides to adopt the weld detection method proposed by the present invention to comprehensively evaluate and real-time monitor the welds on the floating ship plate.

[0191] First, the enterprise organizes relevant technical personnel to measure and model the motion characteristics of the floating ship plate according to step S10 of the present invention.

[0192] Specifically, the technical personnel set 100 height measurement points on the surface of the floating ship plate and use hydrophones to record the height data of each measurement point in real time. After 24 hours of continuous acquisition, a height matrix H of 100 rows and 100 columns is formed:

[0193] ;

[0194] Among them, each element represents the height value of the i-th measurement point at the j-th moment, with the unit of meter. By analyzing this height matrix, the displacement change of the floating ship plate in the vertical direction can be understood.

[0195] In addition, the enterprise sets a sensor at each of the three angles and three directions of the floating ship plate to real-time monitor the attitude angle and motion speed of the floating ship plate. After 24 hours of continuous acquisition, an attitude matrix A is formed:

[0196] ;

[0197] Among them, each row of data respectively represents the pitch angle roll angle Yaw angle and the velocity components in the x, y, and z directions . These data reflect the attitude changes and motion characteristics of the floating plate in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0198] In addition, the enterprise also installed displacement sensors on the surface of the floating plate to monitor the relative displacement of the circumferential weld and the radial weld in real time. After 24 hours of continuous acquisition, a relative displacement matrix D was formed:

[0199] ;

[0200] where, m represents the relative displacement of the circumferential weld, m represents the relative displacement of the radial weld.

[0201] Through the above measurements and modeling, the enterprise has mastered the motion characteristic data of the floating plate under complex sea conditions, laying a foundation for subsequent weld detection.

[0202] Next, the enterprise collects the basic detection characteristics of the weld according to step S20 of the present invention.

[0203] First, the technician uses an ultrasonic flaw detector to scan and detect the weld on the floating plate. By adjusting the probe angle and position, the technician obtains an ultrasonic reflection coefficient matrix of 100 rows and 100 columns :

[0204] ;

[0205] where each element represents the ultrasonic reflection coefficient at the i-th detection position and the j-th detection angle. By analyzing these data, the defects and discontinuities inside the weld can be understood.

[0206] In addition, the enterprise also uses X-ray imaging technology to comprehensively scan the weld of the floating plate. After scanning with multiple different exposure parameters, the technician obtains an X-ray penetration rate matrix of 100 rows and 100 columns :

[0207] ;

[0208] where each element represents the X-ray penetration rate at the i-th detection position and the j-th exposure parameter. By analyzing these data, the overall quality of the weld, including internal defects, pores, etc., can be understood.

[0209] Finally, the enterprise uses a 3D scanner to collect the surface topography of the floating ship plate weld. After data processing, the technicians obtain a weld contour and defect distribution matrix with 100 rows and 100 columns. :

[0210] ;

[0211] Among them, each element represents the weld contour height at the i-th detection position and the defect depth at the j-th detection position. By analyzing these data, the appearance quality characteristics of the weld can be understood.

[0212] To sum up, through actual measurement and data collection, the enterprise constructs the motion characteristic matrix of the floating ship plate and the basic detection matrix of the weld, laying a foundation for subsequent stress-strain analysis and comprehensive evaluation.

[0213] Subsequently, the enterprise deeply analyzes the dynamic stress-strain state of the floating ship plate weld according to step S30 of the present invention.

[0214] First, based on the previously obtained height matrix H, attitude matrix A, and relative displacement matrix D, the enterprise calculates the stress matrix of the weld :

[0215] ;

[0216] Among them, each element in the matrix represents the magnitude of the principal stress at the i-th weld position, with the unit of megapascal. By analyzing this stress matrix, the stress state of the weld under complex sea conditions can be clearly understood.

[0217] On this basis, the enterprise also calculates the strain matrix of the weld according to the material mechanical property parameters :

[0218] ;

[0219] Among them, each element in the matrix represents the equivalent strain value at the i-th weld position, dimensionless. By analyzing this strain matrix, the deformation of the weld under the action of force can be understood.

[0220] Next, the enterprise further analyzed the dynamic mechanical behavior of the weld seam by using the stress-strain correlation equations. For example, according to the principal stress calculation equation, the technicians obtained the magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses at various parts of the weld seam; according to the shear stress calculation equation, the technicians determined the shear stress distribution borne by the weld seam; according to the strain distribution equation, the technicians calculated the normal strain and shear strain states in the weld seam area; according to the fatigue damage accumulation equation, the technicians evaluated the degree of fatigue damage of the weld seam. These results provided a theoretical basis for the subsequent comprehensive evaluation.

[0221] Based on the above analysis, the enterprise mastered the complete stress-strain state information of the floating ship plate weld seam under complex sea conditions, laying a foundation for the subsequent quality evaluation.

[0222] Immediately afterwards, the enterprise constructed a comprehensive evaluation matrix for weld quality according to step S40 of the present invention.

[0223] First of all, the enterprise combined the ultrasonic flaw detection matrix obtained above, the X-ray imaging matrix and the stress-strain matrix through weighted combination to form a comprehensive evaluation matrix for weld quality

[0224] ;

[0225] Among them, the weights of each detection method are set to 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3 respectively to reflect their importance in the evaluation of weld quality.

[0226] By analyzing this comprehensive evaluation matrix , the enterprise can comprehensively understand the overall quality state of the floating ship plate weld seam, including various indexes such as internal defects, appearance quality and mechanical properties. This provides a key basis for the subsequent optimization of detection parameters and safety monitoring.

[0227] Next, the enterprise adaptively adjusted the detection parameters according to step S50 of the present invention.

[0228] First of all, the enterprise established a detection parameter matrix including the ultrasonic flaw detection angle, X-ray exposure parameters and strain acquisition frequency

[0229] ;

[0230] Among them, each row corresponds to a set of detection parameter settings.

[0231] Based on the comprehensive evaluation matrix of the weld quality obtained above, the enterprise constructed the following parameter update equation:

[0232] ;

[0233] Using this equation, the enterprise continuously optimizes the detection parameters to ensure that all types of detection means are in the best state, thus obtaining more accurate and reliable weld quality evaluation results. After three rounds of iteration, the enterprise finally determined the following optimal parameter combination:

[0234] ;

[0235] With this optimized detection parameter setting, the enterprise can ensure the accuracy of the evaluation results, laying a foundation for subsequent real-time monitoring and early warning.

[0236] Finally, the enterprise established a real-time monitoring and abnormal early warning mechanism for the weld state according to step S60 of the present invention.

[0237] First, the enterprise defined three indicators reflecting the overall quality of the weld:

[0238] Integrity index , used to evaluate the internal defect situation of the weld;

[0239] Stress concentration index , used to evaluate the extreme stress state borne by the weld;

[0240] Fatigue damage index , used to evaluate the degree of fatigue damage of the weld.

[0241] For these three indicators, the enterprise respectively set safety thresholds:

[0242] ;

[0243] That is to say, when any one of the indicators exceeds the above threshold, the early warning mechanism will be triggered.

[0244] The enterprise collects and analyzes the above three indicator data in real time to form a weld state vector . Once it is found that the situation occurs, the system will immediately send out an early warning signal to remind the staff to check and repair in time. This can not only timely detect the abnormal weld quality, but also provide strong support for subsequent maintenance, ensuring the safe operation of the entire storage tank system.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
