The traditional caisson foundation positioning method mainly relies on manual operation, using a floating crane or other equipment to move the caisson to a predetermined position, and then sinking it to connect the height. This method has problems such as low positioning accuracy, long construction period and high labor costs. In addition, the offshore environment is complex and changeable, and factors such as wind, waves, and tides pose greater challenges to the positioning of the caisson.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic positioning system for offshore caisson foundation, including a caisson positioning monitoring system, a jack control calculation system, and a caisson positioning execution system;

[0049] The caisson positioning execution system includes a plurality of cables 4 and a plurality of anchors 5 and a plurality of jacks 1 corresponding to the plurality of cables 4.

[0060] S2. Establish the equilibrium equation of the caisson foundation and calculate the target tension force of each cable 4;

[0061] Step S2 specifically includes:

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the origin of the global coordinate system is established at the center of gravity of the caisson foundation. The equilibrium equation of the caisson foundation includes the equilibrium in three translation directions and three rotation directions:

[0063]

[0064] Where N is the number of cables 4, F xi ,F yi ,F zi are the components of force of each cable 4 in the X, Y and Z directions respectively; M ox ,M oy ,M oz are the moments of each cable 4 about the X, Y and Z axes respectively;

[0065] according to Figure 3 The cable force direction of each cable 4 can be expanded as follows:

[0066]

[0067] Where, T1, T2, ..., T8 are the target tensions of the eight cables 4; α1, α2, ..., α8 are the angles between the projections of the eight cables 4 on the XY plane and the Y axis (acute angles); β1, β2, ..., β8 are the angles between the eight cables 4 and the Z axis; F cx is the component of the environmental load on the X-axis, F cx =F c cos(α c )+F wave cos(α wave )+F w cos(α w ), F cy is the component F of the environmental load on the Y axis cy =F c cos(β c )+F wave cos(β wave )+F w cos(β w ), where α c ,α wave ,α w are the angles between the flow velocity, wave speed and wind speed and the X-axis, β c ,β wave ,β w are the angles between the flow velocity, wave speed and wind speed and the Y axis respectively; F f is the buoyancy of the caisson; m is the total mass of the caisson foundation and its ancillary facilities; B is the width of the caisson foundation; L is the length of the caisson foundation; is the coordinate of the mooring point of the i-th cable 4.

[0068] Determine the tension range T of cable 4 during construction min ≤T i ≤T max, using linear programming solution technology, a feasible solution is determined to obtain the target tension of each cable 4.

[0069] S3. When the caisson floats close to the target position, the cables 4 are arranged and the cable reeling is started according to the target tension of each cable 4 determined in step S2. Each cable 4 is reeled in cyclically in turn, and each reeling in is performed according to a certain reeling amount until each cable force reaches the target tension.

[0070] S4. According to the theoretical solution of the equilibrium equation, if there is no error, the target tension force determined in step S3 can make the caisson foundation reach the target position. Due to the measurement error of cable 4 tension and the fluctuation of environmental load, the actual caisson foundation needs to be adjusted several times before it can reach the target position.

[0071] Calculate the actual distance L from the mooring point to the anchor point of each cable 4 i , L i Indicates the distance from the mooring point of the current i-th cable 4 to the anchor point, and calculates the actual distance L of each cable 4 i Distance to target L i (Goal) difference ΔL i =L i -L i (Goal); where the target distance L i (Goal) represents the distance from the mooring point of the i-th cable 4 to the anchor point when the caisson foundation reaches the target position;

[0072] According to the difference ΔL i The cable 4 is adjusted until the caisson foundation reaches the target position.

[0073] In some embodiments, according to the difference ΔL i The method for adjusting the cable 4 includes: adjusting the cable t times until the caisson foundation reaches the target position, wherein t≥1, and during the t times of adjustment, each time the difference ΔL is adjusted. i The largest cable is adjusted, and each adjustment length is the difference ΔL corresponding to the cable i Each time an adjustment is made, the cable force of each cable is determined. If the force on a cable exceeds the limit, it will be loosened, and the amount of relaxation is determined based on the determined tension range.

[0074] Considering the plane positioning of the actual caisson foundation, only three points are needed to determine its plane position. Therefore, when the difference ΔL of at least three cables 4 i When it is less than the allowable error value (the allowable error value can be set to 5cm), it is considered that the caisson foundation has reached the target position.

[0075] In order to ensure the reliability of the adjustment of the cable 4, in some embodiments, each time according to the difference ΔLi After adjusting the cable, the position of the caisson foundation is checked: multiple measuring points are set on the caisson foundation, and the distance between the actual coordinates of the measuring points and the theoretical coordinates of the measuring points when the caisson foundation reaches the target position is calculated. Among them, the measuring points can be selected as the mooring points of the cable 4, and the actual coordinates of the measuring points can be calculated from the coordinates measured by the positioning instrument 2.

[0076] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
