Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polar ice drilling technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for predicting the polar ice cutting drilling process based on digital twins. Background Art
[0002] The key to polar research is to conduct rapid coring drilling in deep ice layers. By quickly drilling on the ice sheet to form boreholes, scientists can quickly obtain ice cores, subglacial bedrock, and sediment cores. This allows scientists to obtain direct and reliable information on deep ice layer detection, and thus address major scientific issues in polar science, such as the storage and migration of polar resources and energy, hydrological cycles, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, climate change, crustal rheology, and sea level rise.
[0003] At present, a variety of polar ice cutting and drilling technologies have been developed. However, after the drill tool penetrates a certain depth into the polar ice layer, its working status cannot be monitored, and drilling information inside the ice hole cannot be obtained in time. Simple judgments can only be made based on experience, and the drilling procedure parameters during the drilling process cannot be accurately adjusted. Therefore, the drilling process often fails to fully utilize the drilling capacity of the drill tool or exceeds the working capacity of the drill tool, resulting in premature damage to the cutting tool, excessive cutting temperature, and secondary freezing of ice chips and ice cores after melting, which ultimately makes the drill tool unable to drill effectively. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a method and system for predicting the polar ice cutting and drilling process based on digital twins, which can effectively solve problems such as unreasonable setting or inaccurate adjustment of drilling procedure parameters leading to low drilling efficiency, damaged cutting tools that cannot drill, and excessively high cutting temperatures that cause ice chips and ice cores to melt and freeze again, leading to drilling failure. It can also make real-time predictions on the service life and sustainable drilling depth of cutting tools, prepare countermeasures in advance, and effectively improve the efficiency of polar ice cutting and drilling.

Next, combine the nodes and node indexes of the mesh object in Unity3D to generate the cutting tool structure that requires monitoring of structural performance and temperature field. This is then imported into Unity3D to complete the loading of the 3D model.
[0072] In Unity3D, mesh-related properties are used to adjust the position of each component in real time in three-dimensional space to complete the continuous motion process. Relying on the cutting tool operation data collected by sensors in real time, the Update function is used to complete the real-time mapping between digital space and physical space, including the lifting, rotation, and cutting operation of the drill bit cutting tool on the ice layer.

Once the monitoring and forecast items of cutting tool temperature rise, stress, strain and life reach the limit state during ice cutting and drilling, the corresponding warning system will be rebounded, and the reference remaining service life and sustainable drilling depth of the cutting tool under this working condition will be given.
[0074] The present invention also provides a polar ice cutting and drilling process control system based on digital twins, which is used to implement any of the above-mentioned polar ice cutting and drilling process prediction methods based on digital twins, including:

[0079] Furthermore, the drilling procedure parameter adjustment module optimizes and adjusts the drilling procedure parameters according to the current cutting tool operation status prediction result. The drilling procedure parameter control and adjustment process includes the following steps:
[0080] According to the expected drilling depth and drilling time requirements, the drilling speed is obtained and the drill speed n is pre-set;
[0081] After the drill speed is selected, the cutting depth h of the cutting tool during the drilling process is determined based on the relationship between the drilling speed and the cutting depth. The relationship between the drilling speed and the cutting depth is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] Where ROP is the drilling speed; n is the drill bit speed; m is the number of cutting tools. In the process of polar ice cutting drilling, m is generally selected as 3; h is the cutting depth;
[0084] After the cutting tool's penetration depth is determined, the drilling tool basic automation level system gradually adjusts the drilling pressure according to the determined penetration depth until the penetration depth reaches the determined value;
[0085] The drilling system performs cutting and drilling according to the above parameters, and optimizes and adjusts the drilling procedure parameters during the drilling process according to the cutting tool operation status given by the digital and physical space interaction module. The optimization and adjustment logic is as follows:
[0086] When the prediction results show that the cutting temperature is higher than the set value and the stress field is within the set normal sustainable working range, the drill bit cutting tool speed is gradually reduced and the cutting tool cutting depth is increased until the monitoring results are within the set normal range. At the same time, the visual interface displays the status of each prediction field in real time during the drilling procedure adjustment process, and gives the fatigue wear prediction remaining life and sustainable drilling depth prediction value based on the current drilling procedure parameters;
[0087] When the prediction results show that the cutting tool stress field is higher than the set value and the cutting temperature is within the normal sustainable working range, the drill bit speed is gradually increased and the cutting tool cutting depth is reduced until the monitoring results are within the normal range. At the same time, the visual interface displays the status of each prediction field in real time during the drilling procedure adjustment process, and gives the fatigue wear prediction remaining life and sustainable drilling depth based on the current drilling procedure parameters;
[0088] When the prediction results show that the cutting temperature is higher than the set value and the stress field is also higher than the set value, the system will give an early warning message to remind you to correct the drilling speed setting value.
[0089] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0090] This invention constructs physical models and finite element calculation models of key polar ice drilling tool components, performs finite element simulations of the drilling process under various working conditions, obtains the high-precision training and testing datasets required for the artificial intelligence model, completes the construction of the polar ice cutting drilling artificial intelligence model, completes the reconstruction process and environment establishment of the artificial intelligence model's digital twin, and establishes an interactive process between the twin model and the physical entity. This allows for the display and prediction of various stress fields during polar ice drilling, as well as the sustainable drilling depth under the current drilling process. Simultaneously, based on the displayed results, the basic automation-level system for the drilling process adjusts and controls drilling parameters. Furthermore, a visual interface displays in real time the cutting tool's temperature field, stress field, cutting tool deformation, wear level, service life, and sustainable drilling depth under various drilling processes during the adjustment process, visualizing the optimization and adjustment process. This approach addresses the problems of excessive cutting tool deformation and wear, as well as increased cutting tool temperature melting ice chips that freeze the tool and prevent drilling. It enables real-time adjustment and optimization of drilling parameters, which is of great significance for improving polar ice drilling efficiency and capacity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for predicting polar ice cutting and drilling processes based on digital twins, comprising the following steps:
[0100] S1. Digitally process the cutting tools and polar ice during ice cutting and drilling, establish a physical model of the ice cutting and drilling process, and analyze its working status;
[0101] Establishing the physical model includes analyzing the magnitude and direction of the load on the cutting tool during ice cutting and drilling, establishing a finite element model of the ice cutting and drilling process, and performing mesh division and independence verification to achieve mesh optimization, laying the foundation for subsequent finite element analysis.
[0102] S2. Conduct secondary development of the finite element analysis software to obtain simulation parameters and obtain the high-precision training and test data sets required for the artificial intelligence model.
[0103] Figure 2 It is a logic flow chart of the finite element simulation of the present invention, wherein the finite element analysis includes cutting heat analysis, cutting force analysis, modal analysis and fatigue life analysis and includes the following steps;
[0104] 1) Use 3D modeling software to build the geometric model of the ice-cutting drilling bit and the ice layer, save it in STP format, and import it into ANSYS Workbench to define temperature-dependent materials, divide the mesh, add constraints, and apply external loads;
[0105] 2) Based on the display dynamics analysis module, the cutting force calculation results under multiple working conditions are obtained;
[0106] 3) Based on the modal analysis module, the input cutting force calculation results are set to obtain the random vibration modal output results of the cutting tool during the ice cutting and drilling process;
[0107] 4) Based on the thermal analysis module, the cutting force calculation results and random vibration mode output results are set to obtain the thermal temperature field and thermal stress distribution of the cutting tool during ice cutting and drilling;
[0108] 5) Based on the display dynamics and modal analysis module, set the input thermal analysis results to analyze the influence of cutting heat changes on the display dynamics and modal analysis and the final results;
[0109] 6) Based on the final results of the modal analysis, the location of the cutting tool danger point is analyzed, and the stress PSD change curve of the danger point along the vibration direction is extracted;
[0110] 7) The maximum stress time domain spectrum obtained is imported into MATLAB software, and the power spectrum density function of the maximum stress spectrum is obtained by frequency domain transformation and PSD analysis. The fatigue damage under the set working conditions is calculated by combining Miner linear damage accumulation theory and the SN curve of the cutting tool manufacturing material, and then the life parameters of the cutting tool are obtained.
[0111] Ice cutting and drilling through crushing has become one of the mainstream methods for drilling in polar ice. Cutting tools are the key component that determines the success or failure of this method. Cutting tool failure, excessive cutting heat causing ice core and ice chips to melt, and fatigue damage to the cutting tools can all lead to drilling failure. To improve ice cutting drilling efficiency and cutter tool life, drilling procedures need to be adjusted according to actual working conditions.
[0112] During ice cutting and drilling, the cutting force fluctuates continuously, and the cutting tool vibrates randomly. Cutting heat is also generated during ice cutting, and the cutting heat is also affected by the vibration of the cutting tool. At the same time, the thermal stress distribution of the cutting tool will also affect the random vibration of the cutting tool. The purpose of cutting force analysis is to obtain the output results and changes of cutting force under various drilling conditions. The change of cutting force causes random vibration of the cutting tool. According to the change of cutting force, the random vibration of the cutting tool is analyzed. During ice drilling, cutting heat is generated by the extrusion and friction of the ice layer and the friction of ice chips. At the same time, the continuous vibration of the cutting tool will affect the thermal stress distribution and cutting temperature of the cutting tool. Therefore, in the process of thermal analysis of the cutting tool, the results of ice cutting thermal analysis are used as the basis, and the results of the influence of the random vibration of the cutting tool on the thermal field of the cutting tool are input to finally obtain the coupling results of the thermal field distribution of the cutting tool.
[0113] In the ANSYS simulation analysis process, the modal analysis of the cutting tool is the basis for evaluating its fatigue damage and fatigue life. However, the modal analysis results are affected by cutting heat. The cutting heat will cause the temperature of the cutting tool to change, the mechanical properties of the material to change, and the modal characteristics to change. In order to accurately evaluate the cutting force, cutting heat and fatigue damage status during ice cutting and drilling and optimize the cutting and drilling procedures according to the above status, it is necessary to take into account the interaction between the above factors and clarify the interaction between each factor. Through the coupling analysis system, the temperature-dependent material is applied to the analysis of the cutting and drilling process, which is characterized by comprising the following steps;
[0114] 1) Based on the coupling analysis module, recreate the cutting tool manufacturing material in Engineering Data and add or define new material properties.
[0115] 2) Enter Engineering Data and set temperature-dependent material properties. In the Material Properties panel, set the material's elastic modulus, yield strength, and thermal expansion coefficient. Test the mechanical properties of the cutting tool material. Based on its mechanical property values at different temperatures and the polar ice temperature environment, set the temperature points to 0°C, -5°C, -10°C, -15°C, -20°C, -25°C, and -30°C, as shown in the table below.
[0116]
[0117] 3) Thermal analysis settings and calculations: Use User Defined Functions (UDF) to define the heat source in the cutting process. Based on the relationship between cutting force, cutting speed, cutting temperature and other variables, simulate the distribution of cutting heat, perform thermal analysis calculations, and solve the distribution results of the temperature field.
[0118] 4) Transfer the temperature field to the structural analysis, and use the transferred temperature field data to calculate the changes in the temperature-dependent properties of the material, and automatically adjust the mechanical properties of the material according to the distribution of the temperature field.
[0119] 5) Run coupled analysis to complete the modal analysis of the cutting tool based on the temperature distribution results obtained from the thermal analysis and the corresponding material property changes.
