Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering, in particular to a meteorological diving platform suitable for high sea conditions. Background Art

[0002] Marine meteorological monitoring is an activity to observe and record meteorological elements and weather phenomena on the ocean. It is of great significance to marine scientific research, navigation safety, fishery production, offshore engineering, etc. Common marine meteorological monitoring equipment includes wave buoys, large marine meteorological stations, underwater buoys, etc. Wave buoys fluctuate greatly when encountering high sea conditions, and meteorological equipment is also at risk of damage, especially small meteorological buoys, which swing at a large angle under severe sea conditions, which has a great impact on the communication and accuracy of meteorological monitoring equipment, and the structural strength is difficult to support strong winds and waves. At the same time, marine meteorological buoys are generally moored and fixed in designated ocean areas, or drift with the waves. It is very troublesome to change the operation location of moored fixed meteorological buoys frequently. The buoy needs to be unlocked from the mooring cable by an engineering ship, and then salvaged and transported to the designated ocean area.

[0003] The existing marine meteorological monitoring equipment has large fluctuations in wave buoys under high sea conditions, which poses a high risk of damage. Moored fixed meteorological buoys are difficult to operate when changing the operating location.

[0004] For this purpose, we propose a meteorological diving platform suitable for high sea conditions. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technology, the applicant provides a meteorological diving platform suitable for high sea conditions. By setting air bags, the swing angle of the platform can be greatly reduced; at the same time, it can provide a certain self-propulsion capability when on the water surface, and be controlled by a remote monitoring center to self-propel to a nearby designated sea area; when encountering severe sea conditions, the diving platform can also dive underwater to avoid the impact of severe waves, and can be equipped with hydroacoustic equipment to detect ocean current data underwater, etc.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A weather diving platform suitable for high sea conditions, comprising:

[0008] The platform body has a buoyancy regulating cabin disposed inside, an equipment cabin disposed inside the buoyancy regulating cabin, and a battery cabin disposed inside the equipment cabin;

[0009] A plurality of air bags are connected to the platform body through a detachable support arm, and gas is stored in the air bags;

[0010] The base counterweight ring is set at the bottom of the platform body to lower the center of gravity;

[0011] The buoyancy of the airbag can provide the platform with roll and pitch restoring moments, thereby reducing the swing angle of the platform when it floats on the water surface.

[0012] An electric-controlled hydraulic pump station is installed in the equipment cabin, and gas is stored in the buoyancy regulating cabin. The gas is transmitted back and forth between the buoyancy regulating cabin and the airbag through the electric-controlled hydraulic pump station, so that the buoyancy of the platform body changes, thereby realizing the diving and floating of the platform body.

[0013] It is further characterized by:

[0014] The support arm includes an oblique support rod and a horizontal support rod.

[0015] The battery compartment is provided with a battery, which provides electric energy to the platform body. A solar panel is also provided above the platform body, which charges the battery in the battery compartment through the solar panel.

[0016] The top of the platform body is provided with a first watertight hatch cover and a second watertight hatch cover.

[0017] A plurality of self-propelled propellers are arranged at the bottom of the platform body, and the low-speed self-propulsion of the platform body is achieved through the self-propelled propellers.

[0018] A plurality of heave thrusters are arranged on the top of the platform body, and a water depth pressure sensor is also arranged on the platform body.

[0019] A base support frame is arranged at the bottom of the platform body, and a base counterweight ring is arranged at the bottom of the base support frame.

[0020] A meteorological equipment carrying frame is installed on the top of the platform body, and an equipment installation platform is arranged on the top of the meteorological equipment carrying frame, and the detection equipment to be installed is carried on the equipment installation platform.

[0021] The airbag can also be replaced by an oil bag, and oil is stored in the oil bag and the buoyancy regulating cabin. The oil is transferred back and forth between the buoyancy regulating cabin and the airbag through an electrically controlled hydraulic pump station, so that the buoyancy of the platform body changes, thereby realizing the diving and floating of the platform body.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] The present invention has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. It can significantly improve the wave resistance of the platform body through multiple variable-volume airbags, greatly reduce the swing angle of the platform body, and improve the working accuracy of meteorological detection equipment and instruments inside and on the top of the platform body. It breaks through the bottleneck of the existing marine meteorological buoys of similar size and displacement with large swing angles.

[0024] At the same time, the present invention also has the following advantages:

[0025] (1) When encountering severe sea conditions, the platform can dive underwater to avoid the impact of severe waves, protect meteorological detection equipment, and increase its service life. At the same time, the platform can also carry small hydroacoustic equipment when it dives underwater, breaking through the bottleneck that existing marine meteorological buoys cannot dive underwater.

[0026] (2) The platform is equipped with a self-propelled propeller, which is controlled by a remote monitoring center on the water surface and can change the operating sea area of ​​the platform. This breaks the bottleneck that the existing marine meteorological buoys cannot self-propel to change the monitoring operating sea area. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a weather diving platform suitable for high sea conditions includes a platform body 1, a buoyancy regulating cabin 101 is arranged inside the platform body 1, an equipment cabin 102 is arranged inside the buoyancy regulating cabin 101, and a battery cabin 103 is arranged inside the equipment cabin 102.

[0035] In one embodiment, the buoyancy regulating chambers 101 are arranged in a ring shape.

[0036] The outer ring of the platform body 1 is provided with a plurality of airbags 5, which are connected to the platform body 1 through a detachable support arm. The airbags 5 store gas, and the platform body 1 floats on the water surface. The buoyancy of the airbags 5 can provide a large roll and pitch restoring moment for the platform body 1, greatly reducing the swing angle of the platform body 1 when floating on the water surface, and improving the seakeeping performance of the platform body 1.

[0037] An electrically controlled hydraulic pump station is provided in the equipment cabin 102, and gas is stored in the buoyancy regulating cabin 101. The gas is transmitted back and forth between the buoyancy regulating cabin 101 and the airbag 5 through the electrically controlled hydraulic pump station, so that the buoyancy of the platform body 1 changes, thereby realizing the diving and floating of the platform body 1.

[0038] The battery compartment 103 is provided with batteries, which provide power to all electrical equipment of the platform body 1. The batteries in the battery compartment 103 can be regularly charged or replaced by a supply ship. A circle of solar panels 8 is covered on the top of the platform body 1. The batteries in the battery compartment 103 are charged by the solar panels 8, which can improve the endurance of the batteries in the battery compartment 103 and retrieve the number of times the platform body 1 is charged or replaced.

[0039] A first watertight hatch cover 601 and a second watertight hatch cover 602 are provided on the top of the platform body 1. The first watertight hatch cover 601 is used for opening and closing when the equipment in the cabin is installed and manufactured, and the second watertight hatch cover 602 is used for opening and closing when personnel enter the cabin for debugging and maintenance.

[0040] A plurality of self-propelled thrusters 301 are arranged at the bottom of the platform body 1, and the platform body 1 is self-propelled at low speed by the self-propelled thrusters 301, so as to facilitate the platform body 1 to change the working location. A plurality of heave thrusters 302 are arranged on the top of the platform body 1, and the platform body 1 is also provided with a water depth pressure sensor.

[0041] In one embodiment, four self-propelled propellers 301 are provided, and four heave propellers 302 are also provided. Two adjacent heave propellers 302 are spaced 90 degrees apart, and four heave propellers 302 are arranged in a circle of the platform body 1. When the platform body 1 sinks underwater, the heave propellers 302 are used to realize the floating and diving movement of the platform body 1, and adjust the posture of the platform body 1 underwater to maintain stability.

[0042] When the platform body 1 needs to dive, the electronically controlled hydraulic pump valve is opened through remote control to allow the gas inside the airbag 5 to be sucked into the buoyancy regulating cabin 101, and the overall buoyancy of the platform body 1 becomes smaller, so that the platform body 1 can dive. After the platform body 1 is completely sunk underwater, the diving depth can be assisted by the heave thruster 302, and the water depth pressure sensor feedback can be used to hover within the set depth range.

[0043] A base support frame 201 is provided at the bottom of the platform body 1, and a base counterweight ring 202 is provided at the bottom of the base support frame 201. The base support frame 201 can support the bottom of the platform body 1 at a certain height during transportation and storage of the platform body 1, which is convenient for debugging and installation. The base counterweight ring 202 can provide support for the base support frame 201, and at the same time can lower the center of gravity of the platform body 1, reduce the swing angle of the platform body 1 when floating on the water surface, and improve the stability of the platform body 1 when diving underwater, so that the platform body 1 is similar to a "tumbler" and will not overturn.

[0044] The support arm includes an oblique support rod 401 and a horizontal support rod 402. The airbag 5, the oblique support rod 401 and the horizontal support rod 402 can be disassembled and stored separately, thereby reducing the overall storage, transportation and hanging size of the platform body 1.

[0045] A meteorological equipment carrier 7 is installed on the top of the platform body 1, and an equipment installation platform 701 is arranged on the top of the meteorological equipment carrier 7. The detection equipment to be installed is carried on the equipment installation platform 701 to realize the main operation function of the platform body 1.

[0046] In one embodiment, four airbags 5 are provided, and the airbags 5 are spherical.

[0047] In one embodiment, the airbag 5 can also be replaced by an oil bag, and oil is stored in the oil bag and the buoyancy regulating cabin 101; the oil is transferred back and forth between the buoyancy regulating cabin 101 and the airbag 5 through an electrically controlled hydraulic pump station, so that the buoyancy of the platform body 1 changes, thereby realizing the diving and floating of the platform body 1.

[0048] Multiple variable-volume airbags 5 can significantly improve the seakeeping performance of the platform body 1, greatly reduce the swing angle of the platform body 1, and improve the working accuracy of meteorological detection equipment and instruments inside and on the top of the platform body 1. This breaks through the bottleneck of the large swing angle of existing marine meteorological buoys of similar size and displacement.

[0049] When encountering severe sea conditions, the platform body 1 can dive underwater to avoid the impact of severe waves, protect meteorological detection equipment, and increase the service life cycle. At the same time, the platform body 1 can also carry small hydroacoustic equipment when diving underwater, breaking through the bottleneck that existing marine meteorological buoys cannot dive underwater.

[0050] The platform body 1 is provided with a self-propelled propeller 301, which is controlled by a remote monitoring center on the water surface, and the operating sea area of ​​the platform can be changed, thus breaking through the bottleneck that the existing marine meteorological buoy cannot self-propelled to change the monitoring operating sea area.
