Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scientific research vessels, and particularly to a storage device for geophysical cable birds. Background Art

[0002] A geophysical exploration scientific research vessel is a ship dedicated to the exploration of marine oil and gas resources. The geophysical exploration scientific research vessel realizes the acquisition of geophysical data through a seismic source system and a signal acquisition system. The seismic source system usually includes an air gun array and its supporting deployment and recovery device, which is used to generate the acoustic signals required for exploration operations; the signal acquisition system consists of a geophysical cable, geophysical cable birds, and corresponding deployment and recovery devices, which are used to receive and record reflection signals.

[0003] In marine geophysical exploration operations, each mission requires the release of the air gun array, geophysical cable, and geophysical cable birds into the water to perform exploration operations. Among them, the air gun array and the geophysical cable are usually equipped with special on-board automated deployment and recovery devices, which can achieve efficient release and recovery operations. However, the deployment, recovery, and sorting of geophysical cable birds still mainly rely on manual labor. Geophysical cable birds can be classified into three categories according to their functions: compass birds, lateral birds, and acoustic birds. A large number of geophysical cable birds are involved in each operation. Due to the lack of a special storage device, the recovered geophysical cable birds are often randomly stacked, resulting in a messy placement, which not only affects the rational use of the space on the ship but also is not convenient for the rapid deployment of the next operation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage device for geophysical cable birds to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0038] In marine geophysical exploration, the geophysical cable birds are key components of the signal acquisition system, usually including three types: compass birds, lateral birds, and acoustic birds. Among them, the compass birds and lateral birds have similar shapes, both having a first rod body and two wing plates, and can be collectively referred to as the first birds. For the storage requirements of the first birds, Embodiment 1 provides a storage device for geophysical cable birds. The acoustic birds mainly include a second rod body and two annular members arranged along the axial direction of the second rod body. The acoustic birds have different structures from the first birds. For the storage requirements of the acoustic birds, Embodiment 2 provides an acoustic bird storage device for storing the acoustic birds.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, this embodiment provides a storage device for geophysical cable birds for storing the above-mentioned first birds. The storage device for geophysical cable birds includes a first frame 100 and a plurality of first bearing members 120. A plurality of cross beams 110 are arranged at intervals in the first direction within the first frame 100. Each cross beam 110 extends in the second direction. A plurality of first bearing members 120 are arranged at intervals along the second direction on each cross beam 110. The first bearing members 120 extend in the third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs. Among them, the first bearing member 120 includes a first support plate 121 and a limiting ring 122. One end of the first support plate 121 is connected to the cross beam 110, and the other end is provided with a limiting ring 122. A first receiving groove 1211 is formed on the first support plate 121. The first rod body can be inserted into the limiting ring 122 and is limited within the first receiving groove 1211, improving the stability of the first birds and the neatness of the arrangement. The storage device for geophysical cable birds has a simple structure, is convenient to take and place, not only saves the space on the ship, but also significantly improves the operation efficiency.

[0041] It should be noted that in actual operations, two storage devices for geophysical cable birds can be arranged side by side according to needs, one for storing compass birds and the other for storing lateral birds to meet the classified management of compass birds and lateral birds.

[0042] Optionally, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the first frame 100 includes four columns 101, and the four columns 101 are arranged in a rectangular array. The two top ends of two adjacent columns 101 are connected by a top beam 102. In this embodiment, both the columns 101 and the top beam 102 are angle steels, which can effectively ensure the rigidity and bearing capacity of the first frame 100. In other embodiments, both the columns 101 and the top beam 102 can be made of aluminum alloy material, effectively reducing the weight of the first frame 100, facilitating handling and installation in marine operations. In addition, the aluminum alloy material has excellent anti-corrosion performance and can resist the erosion of salt spray and moisture in the marine environment, thereby extending the service life of the first frame 100 and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0043] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 - 3 As shown, along the first direction, a plurality of support members 130 are provided at intervals within the first frame 100. The cross beam 110 and the support members 130 are parallel to each other and correspond one by one. Both ends of the support member 130 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the first frame 100. One end of the first support plate 121 away from the cross beam 110 is connected to its corresponding support member 130, providing an additional support point for the first support plate 121, reducing the deformation or shaking of the first support plate 121 caused by the load, and thus enhancing the overall stability of the first load-bearing member 120. At the same time, the setting of the support member 130 improves the adaptability of the geophysical exploration cable waterfowl storage device in the bumpy environment of ocean operations, ensuring the reliability of the first waterfowl storage.

[0044] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 - 3 As shown, on the left and right sides of the first frame 100, a plurality of first side beams 140 and a plurality of second side beams are respectively provided. The first side beams 140 and the second side beams correspond one by one. A support member 130 is provided between the corresponding first side beam 140 and the second side beam. One end of the support member 130 is connected to its corresponding first side beam 140, and the other end of the support member 130 is connected to its corresponding second side beam. The settings of the first side beam 140 and the second side beam provide connection points for the support member 130, and enhance the overall rigidity and anti-deformation ability of the first frame 100.

[0045] Optionally, along the first direction, the height of the support member 130 is lower than the height of its corresponding cross beam 110, so that the axis of the first receiving groove 1211 forms an angle α with the horizontal plane, where 0° ≤ α < 90°. Specifically, it can be 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, etc. When the angle α is greater than 0°, the first support plate 121 is in an inclined state, facilitating the smooth insertion or sliding out of the first rod of the first waterfowl along the inclined direction of the first receiving groove 1211, reducing the operation resistance, and thus improving the operation efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, the first support plate 121 and the limiting ring 122 are integrally formed, enhancing the structural strength and overall stability of the first load-bearing member 120, reducing the risk of loosening or failure at the connection part, and thus improving the reliability of the first waterfowl storage.

[0047] As shown in Figures 4 - 6 In this embodiment, as shown, the first receiving groove 1211 is an arc-shaped groove, and the limiting ring 122 is a circular ring, which can fit more closely to the outer periphery of the first rod, improving the limiting effect of the first rod in the first receiving groove 1211, and thus significantly enhancing the stability when the first waterfowl is stored.

[0048] Optionally, the first carrier 120 is processed from a circular tube. Most of the circular tube is cut into a semi-circular tube (i.e., a first receiving groove 1211 is provided on the first support plate 121), and only a part of the end portion remains in the shape of a circular tube (i.e., the limiting ring 122), which can simplify the processing process of the first carrier 120 and improve the processing efficiency of the first carrier 120. The circular tube can be a steel tube, which improves the structural strength of the first carrier 120 and has excellent corrosion resistance, thereby increasing the service life of the first carrier 120. In this embodiment, the first frame 100 includes six cross beams 110, and the six cross beams 110 are arranged at intervals in the first direction. A plurality of first carriers 120 are arranged at intervals in the second direction on each cross beam 110. The spacing between the first carriers 120 on different cross beams 110 can be set to different values according to needs. This flexible spacing design can adapt to the storage requirements of first water birds of different sizes, and improves the versatility and space utilization efficiency of the geophysical exploration cable water bird storage device.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first support plate 121 and the limiting ring 122 are connected in a splicing manner, which is convenient for the separate processing and replacement of the first support plate 121 and the limiting ring 122, and improves the manufacturing flexibility and maintenance convenience of the device.

[0050] Optionally, a back plate is provided at the rear side of the first frame 100, and the first rod body can abut against the back plate. The setting of the back plate provides a limiting reference for the insertion depth of the first rod body, effectively preventing the first water bird from sliding or shifting excessively in the first receiving groove 1211 and the limiting ring 122, thereby improving the neatness of storage.

[0051] Optionally, as Figure 7 shown, the geophysical exploration cable water bird storage device further includes a fixing component 200, and the fixing component 200 is used to fix the first frame 100 to the hull structure 10. The fixing component 200 effectively prevents the first frame 100 from shifting or shaking due to the hull bumping or wave impact, and improves the stability of the first frame 100.

[0052] Optionally, the fixing component 200 includes a fixing angle steel 210 and a fastener 220. One end of the fixing angle steel 210 is connected to the hull structure 10, and the other end is fastened to the first frame 100 through the fastener 220 to ensure the stability of the first frame 100 in the marine bumpy environment and prevent the first frame 100 from shifting or toppling. In this embodiment, the fastener 220 includes a bolt 221 and a nut 222. The bolt 221 passes through the column 101 at the rear side of the first frame 100 and the fixing angle steel 210 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the nut 222. A spring washer 223 is provided between the nut 222 and the fixing angle steel 210, thereby increasing the fastening force.

[0053] Optionally, the fixing component 200 further includes a shock absorber 230. The shock absorber 230 is sleeved on the fastener 220 and clamped between the first frame 100 and the fixing angle steel 210. The shock absorber 230 effectively absorbs the vibration energy transmitted from the hull bump or wave impact to the first frame 100, reduces the stress concentration at the connection part of the fastener 220, thereby improving the stability and service life of the geophysical cable storage device. Optionally, the shock absorber 230 can be a rubber gasket.

[0054] Optionally, the geophysical cable waterfowl storage device further includes a roller assembly 300. The roller assembly 300 is arranged at the bottom of the first frame 100, and the roller assembly 300 is used to slide the first frame 100 on the deck 20. Specifically, the roller assembly 300 includes a roller seat 310, a roller 320 and a locking member 330. The roller seat 310 is arranged at the bottom of the first frame 100, the roller 320 is rotatably connected to the roller seat 310, and the locking member 330 is used to rotate or stop the roller 320 relative to the roller seat 310. The setting of the locking member 330 can lock the roller 320 in time, ensure the stable parking of the geophysical cable waterfowl storage device at a specific position, prevent accidental sliding caused by ocean bumps, thereby improving the safety of the geophysical cable waterfowl storage device. It should be noted that the locking member 330 can be any braking structure of a roller in the prior art, and the structure of the locking member 330 will not be described in detail.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 8 shown, a top plate 150 is provided at the top of the first frame 100. The top plate 150 is riveted or welded to the first frame 100, effectively preventing dust, sea salt or other sundries from falling into the interior of the first frame 100 from the top, and ensuring the cleanliness of the first waterfowl during storage.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] This embodiment provides an acoustic bird storage device, which can be used in combination with the geophysical cable waterfowl storage device in Embodiment 1, or can be used alone according to the storage requirements. Among them, the combined use means arranging two geophysical cable waterfowl storage devices and one acoustic bird storage device on the hull. The two geophysical cable waterfowl storage devices can be used to store the compass bird and the transverse bird respectively, and the acoustic bird storage device is used to store the acoustic bird to achieve the classified management of the transverse bird, the compass bird and the acoustic bird.

[0058] Specifically, the acoustic bird storage device includes a base and a plurality of fixing rods. The plurality of fixing rods are arranged on the base at intervals. The acoustic bird includes a second rod body, and two annular members are arranged on the circumferential direction of the second rod body. The annular members can be sleeved on the fixing rods, thereby fixing the acoustic bird to the fixing rods, arranging the acoustic birds in an orderly manner, not only optimizing the space utilization of the deck 20, but also enhancing the neatness and stability of the storage, and meeting the use requirements in ocean operations.
