Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of buoys, and more specifically, to a precision weighted oil-spill tracking buoy. Background Art
[0002] With the growth of offshore oil transportation volume, oil-spill accidents occur frequently, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment. Existing oil-spill monitoring technologies mainly rely on satellite remote sensing, aerial observation, and fixed alarm devices, which have problems such as poor real-time performance, high costs, and obvious environmental constraints. As an important monitoring means, buoy technology has been studied at home and abroad, such as ARGO buoys. However, symmetric spherical buoys are vulnerable to the interference of wind waves and water currents in complex sea conditions, resulting in a large deviation between the drift trajectory and the actual movement of the oil film, affecting the tracking accuracy. Especially when the oil film expands to a stable state, the wind coefficient matching between the buoy and the oil film is insufficient, making it difficult to achieve synchronous drift. Moreover, ARGO buoys relying on the ARGOS satellite positioning and acquisition system have a positioning information delay of 10 - 24 hours due to the satellite overpass time limit, which cannot meet the real-time monitoring requirements. In addition, satellite communication costs are high, and the signal is easily blocked in the nearshore area;
[0003] Existing buoys adopt a fully symmetric spherical structure, lacking optimization in the part below the water surface, resulting in uneven resistance distribution and difficulty in adapting to the tracking requirements of different oil film characteristics (such as oil viscosity, diffusion speed). For example, in the experiment using a foam floating board to simulate the oil film, it can be clearly seen that the drift speed of the symmetric buoy is significantly different from that of the oil film. Especially when the wind field and the flow field are in the same direction, the buoy is prone to lag behind the oil film. Therefore, how to optimize the buoy structure to improve its synchronous drift ability with the oil film is the technical problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0029] The following further detailed description of the present invention is made in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it according to the description in the specification.
[0030] It should be understood that terms such as "having", "including", and "comprising" as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.
[0031] As Figures 1-9 shown, the present invention provides a precision counterweight oil-spill tracking buoy, comprising: two half-shells, namely an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 respectively. A tracking module and a counterweight are arranged inside the lower shell 2. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 can be buckled with each other, and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 can be welded, or bonded, or detachably connected. The lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1 include an asymmetric structure or a symmetric structure. The upper shell 1 is hemispherical, and an upper sealing edge 3 extending away from the upper shell 1 is arranged at the opening of the upper shell 1. A lower sealing edge 4 is arranged at the opening of the lower shell 2. The openings of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The upper sealing edge 3 and the lower sealing edge 4 are in abutment or are connected by screws, or by rivets, or by snap sealing edges, or by welding or bonding. A sealing member is arranged between the upper sealing edge 3 and the lower sealing edge 4. The sealing member 6 is an annular silica gel ring, which is embedded in the docking groove between the upper sealing edge 3 and the lower sealing edge 4, so as to ensure the waterproof performance of the buoy. A counterweight 5 is arranged on the inner surface of the lower shell 2, and the counterweight 5 is integrally formed with the lower shell 2. The tracking module is arranged on the counterweight 5 or on the inner surface of the lower shell 2.
[0032] The lower shell 2 at least has an arc-shaped protrusion extending away from the upper shell 1, so that the outer wall of the lower shell 2 forms an outer arc surface and the inner wall forms an inner arc surface. The outer wall of the lower shell 2 and the outer wall of the upper shell 1 include an asymmetric structure or a symmetric structure. The radius of curvature of the outer arc surface is designed according to the average flow velocity and oil film viscosity of the target sea area, so as to reduce the water flow resistance and enhance the synchronism between the buoy and the oil film. The outer arc surface is a spherical surface (the radius is different from that of the upper shell 1. Although it includes an asymmetric structure or a symmetric structure with the upper shell 1, when the overall symmetry of the buoy is relatively high, it is more suitable for low-flow sea areas (such as harbors) and can provide stable tracking), or an ellipsoidal surface (usually after being put into the water, the long axis will extend along the direction of the water flow, thereby reducing the resistance of the oncoming flow surface and reducing the generation of turbulence. It is more suitable for medium and high-flow sea areas (such as the offshore area) and can improve the speed matching degree between the buoy and the oil film and reduce the lag), or a hyperboloid surface (because the curvature changes greatly, it can guide the water flow to flow in a specific direction and reduce the lateral resistance. It is more suitable for complex sea conditions (such as vortex areas) and can enhance the anti-lateral interference ability of the buoy and avoid deviating from the oil film track), or a parabolic surface (because the parabolic surface has a sharp front end and a gentle rear end, the wake resistance can be reduced after being put into the water. It is more suitable for tracking high-viscosity oil films (such as crude oil)). The material of the lower shell 2 includes fiberglass composite materials, ABS engineering plastics, and PP polypropylene.
[0033] The lower shell 2 includes a placement plane parallel to the lower sealing edge 4, such that the outer wall of the lower shell 2 forms an outer placement surface, the inner wall forms an inner placement surface, or the outer shell is provided with a spherical inner wall with a planar surface, or the outer shell is provided with a spherical inner wall with a concave spherical surface; the upper shell and the lower shell have a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure with respect to the joint surface.
[0034] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The asymmetrical arc design of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 (for example, the outer arc surface of the lower shell 2 is an ellipsoidal surface, a hyperboloidal surface, etc.) enables the lower shell 2 to effectively reduce the turbulent resistance of the underwater part, making the buoy closer to the actual drift path of the oil film; the lower shell 2 includes a placement plane parallel to the lower sealing edge 4, such that the outer wall of the lower shell 2 forms an outer placement surface, the inner wall forms an inner placement surface, or the outer shell is provided with a spherical inner wall with a planar surface, or the outer shell is provided with a spherical inner wall with a concave spherical surface; the upper shell and the lower shell have a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure with respect to the joint surface; this makes the resistance distribution of the underwater part of the lower shell 2 more uniform, avoiding the deviation of the drift trajectory of the spherical buoy under the influence of wind and water flow. Through the targeted design of the outer arc surface, the buoy can adapt to different oil film characteristics (viscosity, diffusion speed) and sea conditions (flow velocity, wind and waves), significantly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of oil spill tracking.
[0035] Furthermore, since the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are usually integrally formed, the counterweight 5 is usually also formed together with the lower shell 2, or the counterweight 5 can be separately manufactured and then installed on the lower shell 2. There are at least three counterweights 5, which are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner surface or the inner arc surface of the lower shell 2. The counterweight is arranged on the counterweight 5, as Figure 3 shown. Since the integral forming process is adopted, it will inevitably cause the center of gravity of the lower shell 2 to shift. After being put into the sea, the buoy will tilt. Long-term tilting will cause the upper and lower sealing edges to be immersed in seawater for a long time, which is likely to corrode the sealant and cause water to enter the buoy. Therefore, it is usually necessary to set counterweights inside the lower shell 2 for leveling operations.
[0036] The counterweight is composed of a base 6 detachably connected to the counterweight 5, several counterweight groups 7 arranged on the base 6, and a fixing member 8 for fixing the counterweight groups 7 on the base 6.
[0037] The fixing member 8 is composed of a pressing block 81 and a connecting member 82 passing through the pressing block 81. The connecting member 82 passes through the pressing block 81 and the counterweight group 7 and is connected to the base 6.
[0038] The base 6 includes a bottom plate 61 connected to the counterweight 5 and a back plate 62 for connecting to the fixing member 8. The back plate 62 is arranged at one end of the bottom plate 61. An installation hole 621 for connecting to the fixing member 8 is provided on the back plate 62, and the installation hole 621 is a threaded hole or a slotted hole.
[0039] When the installation hole 621 is a threaded hole, the connecting member 82 is a stud with a knob provided at one end. The knob is located at one end of the pressing block 81. The stud sequentially passes through the pressing block 81 and the weight assembly 7 and is threadedly connected to the installation hole 621, as Figure 6 shown;
[0040] When the installation hole 621 is a strip-shaped hole, the connecting member 82 is a bolt with a T-shaped head. The T-shaped head is located on the side of the back plate 62 away from the weight assembly 7. The bolt sequentially passes through the back plate 62, the weight assembly 7 and the pressing block 81 and is then threadedly connected to a knob with a threaded hole, as Figure 7 shown.
[0041] At least one limiting strip 611 is provided on the top of the bottom plate 61. The limiting strip 611 is parallel to the connecting member 82, as Figure 7 shown.
[0042] The weight assembly 7 is composed of a starting piece 71 detachably connected to the back plate 62, a plurality of weight pieces 72 detachably connected, and a finishing piece 73 abutted against the pressing block 81. Connecting holes 74 and opening grooves 75 are provided on the starting piece 71, the weight pieces 72 and the finishing piece 73. The connecting member 82 passes through the weight assembly 7 through the connecting holes 74. The opening grooves 75 of the weight assembly 7 together form a strip-shaped limiting groove adapted to the limiting strip 611 of the bottom plate 61, whereby the position of the weight assembly can be limited.
[0043] The weight piece 72 is provided with a through hole 721, an upper inserting piece 722 extending upward from the through hole 721 and a lower inserting piece 723 extending downward from the through hole 721. The upper inserting piece 722 and the lower inserting piece 723 are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the through hole 721. The weight piece 72 has a non-zero angle with the vertical direction.
[0044] The connection between two adjacent weight pieces 72, as Figure 8 shown, the upper inserting piece 722 of the weight piece 72 on the left is inserted into the through hole 721 of the weight piece 72 on the right. After insertion, the right side wall of the lower inserting piece 723 of the weight piece 72 on the right abuts against the left side wall of the upper inserting piece 722 of the weight piece 72 on the left. When the two weight pieces 72 are connected, the connecting holes 74 of the two weight pieces 72 are located on the same central axis.
[0045] The starting piece 71 is provided with an inserting plate 711 adapted to the through hole 721 of the weight piece 72, and the finishing piece 73 is provided with a slot 731 adapted to the upper inserting piece 722 of the weight piece 72.
[0046] When installing the weight assembly 7, first install the starting piece 71 on the back plate 62 through screws, and make the insertion plate 711 of the starting piece 71 face away from the back plate 62. Then connect the first weight piece 72 to the starting piece 71, insert the insertion plate 711 of the starting piece 71 into the through hole 721. When the starting piece 71 is connected to the first weight piece 72, the insertion plate 711 is located in the through hole 721, the right side wall of the lower insertion piece 723 of the first weight piece 72 abuts against the left side wall of the insertion plate 711, and the left side wall of the upper insertion piece 722 of the first weight piece 72 does not abut against the right side wall of the insertion plate 711.
[0047] Then connect the second weight piece 72. The right side wall of the lower insertion piece 723 of the second weight piece 72 abuts against the left side wall of the upper insertion piece 722 of the first weight piece 72, and the left side wall of the upper insertion piece 722 of the second weight piece 72 abuts against the right side wall of the lower insertion piece 723 of the third weight piece 72, and so on.
[0048] After the weight adjustment is completed, connect the end piece 73 to the last weight piece 72, and insert the upper insertion piece 722 of the last weight piece 72 into the slot 731 of the end piece 73.
[0049] Finally, pass the connecting piece 82 through the weight assembly 7, and press the pressing block 81 on the end piece 73 to fix the weight assembly 7.
[0050] Since each weight piece 5 is provided with a weight, the number of weight pieces 72 can be adjusted at any time to adjust the center of gravity position of the lower shell 2, so that when the buoy is put into the sea water, the soaking time of the sea water on the seal can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the seal can be extended.
