Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to underwater laser cleaning and welding technology in a deep-sea environment, and in particular to a deep-sea multiphase flow assisted laser cleaning and welding composite device and method. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing global energy demand and the gradual depletion of land resources, the development and utilization of marine resources has become the focus of attention of countries around the world. The ocean area accounts for more than 70% of the earth's surface and contains rich resources such as oil, natural gas, and minerals. It is of great significance to alleviate the energy crisis and promote economic development. However, the particularity of the deep-sea environment has brought many challenges to resource development, especially the construction and maintenance of underwater projects. Underwater cleaning and welding technology are crucial.
[0003] In deep-sea environments, especially in the daily operation and maintenance of underwater facilities such as submarine oil and gas platforms, deep-sea mineral mining equipment, and offshore wind power facilities, dirt, marine biological attachments, and corrosion products on the equipment surface often seriously affect the performance and safety of the equipment. In addition, structural damage and crack problems in deep-sea environments need to be repaired through efficient underwater welding technology. Traditional underwater cleaning and welding methods have problems such as low efficiency, environmental pollution, and high technical difficulty. Therefore, a more efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning and welding technology is urgently needed.
[0004] Laser beams can quickly remove materials and achieve molecular-level cleanliness due to their high energy density. As a non-contact process, laser processing does not produce mechanical stress and pollution, has relatively little impact on the surrounding environment, and can effectively protect the marine environment. However, current underwater laser cleaning technology still faces the following major problems:
[0005] (1) The thickness and adhesion of dirt in the deep-sea environment: The dirt layer on the surface of deep-sea equipment is often thick and tightly adhered. Traditional lasers are difficult to completely remove the dirt in one go, and often require repeated cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0006] (2) Limitation of cleaning effect by high-pressure environment: Due to the high pressure in the deep-sea environment, although the deposits have been detached after laser cleaning, it is not easy to completely separate from the surface of the equipment, and the residual dirt affects the subsequent welding quality.
[0007] (3) Environmental pollution issues: Traditional cleaning methods mostly rely on chemical cleaning agents, which pose a risk of pollution to the marine environment.
[0008] In the prior art, the Chinese patent with publication number CN1130705272B discloses an underwater welding machine device and method, which realizes the integrated operation of cleaning and welding by adopting a dual laser head; the Chinese patent with publication number CN166237341B discloses an underwater laser operation device with integrated laser cleaning function, which integrates the cleaning and welding processes into the same joint, thereby improving work efficiency. Although both technologies integrate laser cleaning and welding functions through local dry welding, their designs are mainly aimed at shallow water or conventional underwater environments. In deep-sea environments, the surface of the equipment is often covered with a thicker sediment layer, and the single laser cleaning in the prior art is difficult to meet actual needs. At the same time, although the CN166237341B patent takes into account the obstruction of laser transmission after the stripping of pollutants, its design fails to effectively solve the problem that pollutants are detached from the surface but not completely removed under high-pressure conditions in the deep sea. Because high pressure may cause sediment fragments to remain in the cleaning area, thus affecting the stability and quality of subsequent welding.
[0009] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a deep-sea multiphase flow-assisted laser cleaning and welding composite device and method to solve the above problems. "Multiphase flow" is reflected in the fact that the fluid is composed of liquid phase, solid phase and gas phase, in which the liquid phase is seawater in the deep-sea environment, which provides high kinetic energy impact as a cleaning matrix; the solid phase is premixed abrasive particles, which enhances the mechanical friction of cleaning; the gas phase is compressed air, which is used to reduce fluid viscosity, enhance jet penetration and promote the peeling and shedding of the sediment layer. The three phases are evenly mixed through an optimized pipeline mixer to form a high-speed multiphase flow. The synergistic effect significantly improves the cleaning efficiency and surface treatment quality of the deep-sea thick sediment layer, providing ideal surface conditions for the subsequent ultrafast laser fine cleaning stage; using natural seawater as a cleaning medium can effectively avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents and reduce the negative impact on the marine environment. In addition, the use of ultrafast lasers makes it possible to remove marine dirt without damaging the equipment coating, with higher cleaning efficiency. After cleaning, the repaired parts can also be laser welded to achieve effective integration of cleaning and welding. Summary of the invention

[0014] The multiphase flow supply system is used to combine the high-speed seawater generated by the fluid power generator, the premixed abrasive ejector on land and the compressed air machine to form a multiphase flow, and achieve uniform mixing of the three phases through the pipeline mixer;
[0015] A laser cleaning and welding system, the laser cleaning and welding system comprising a laser, the laser being fixedly mounted in the middle of the inner cavity of a mobile drainage cover, the laser penetrating the mobile drainage cover and extending to the top thereof, a high-speed jet system being mounted on the outer surface of the laser, the high-speed jet system comprising a water jet and a baffle assembly, the water jet being used to jet high-pressure water flow to remove dirt on the surface of the equipment, the baffle assembly being used to block splashed sediments during the cleaning process, and protecting the laser head and other equipment, a pipeline mixer being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water jet, the pipeline mixer generating turbulence and shear force through internal spiral blades to promote mixing of three-phase fluids of gas, liquid and solid, the laser emitting a laser beam, working in coordination with the water jet to perform underwater laser cleaning operations;
[0016] Underwater cameras, which are fixedly mounted at the four corners of the inner cavity of the mobile drainage cover and are connected to computer signals. The underwater cameras collect images of the cleaning and welding areas in real time and feed the data back to the computer for operators to monitor the cleaning and welding quality in real time;
[0017] The control system includes a controller, which is connected to the fluid power generator, laser, mobile drainage cover and pump through a connecting line. The controller is the core control unit of the system and controls these components in a unified manner. The controller controls the water flow, laser output and operation of the drainage cover according to a preset program.

The baffle is linked with the pressure sensor device to automatically extend and retract when the jet pressure of the water jet changes, so that it can effectively block debris while avoiding cleaning interference or blocking failure caused by the fixed position of the baffle. The slide rail ensures that the adjustment process is smooth and reliable, and adapts to the debris protection needs under different jet pressures.
