Description

Technical Field

[0002] When a ship is operating, it needs to use an anchor for anchoring to achieve the purpose of staying in a designated sea area or at a designated depth. Anchors include gravity anchors, drag anchors, special anchors, etc. When an anchor is anchored, one end is buried in the seabed, and the other end is connected to a floating body (such as a ship, an offshore platform, etc.) through a mooring cable. In real sea conditions, the floating body will be affected by waves and ocean currents, resulting in horizontal and vertical movements, and transmitting a pulling-out force to the anchor through the mooring cable. The pulling-out force received by the anchor is affected by multiple factors such as waves, ocean currents, gravity, and the dynamics of the floating body. The direction of the force is along the XYZ three axes, and the magnitude of the force changes irregularly, which is a multi-coupled non-linear problem. Due to the limitations of physical conditions in the real environment, only specific stress conditions of the anchor can be simulated.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the box body (1-1) of the water tank (1) is a cylindrical barrel made of fiberglass. When installing, a cement base should be poured at the lower part of the water tank (1), and the outer wall of its box body (1-1) should be coated with a plastic film to delay the aging of the fiberglass.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the loading device (2) is fixed to the support frame (4) by welding.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the extension shaft (2-2) of the loading device and the end ring (2-3) are connected by welding.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the loading device (2) is an electric push rod, and the extension shaft (2-2) is controlled by a motor to extend and retract.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the longitudinal guide rails (3-1) and (3-2) of the guiding device (3) are connected to the support frame (4) by bolts.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the longitudinal guide rails (3-1) and (3-2) of the guiding device (3) need to be synchronously controlled without displacement deviation.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the extension shaft (2-2), the longitudinal guide rails (3-1), (3-2) and the transverse guide rail (3-3) of the guiding device (3) are all controlled by a motor to rotate the pulley, and a limiter is installed on the guide rail.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the transverse guide rail (3-3) of the extension shaft (2-2) is installed on two moving slides (3-5) on the longitudinal guide rails (3-1) and (3-2) by bolts.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the hanging ring (3-4) is installed on a moving slide (3-6) on the transverse guide rail (3-3) by bolts.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the cable is laid in such a way that one end is tied to the end ring (2-3) of the loading device (2), passes through the hanging ring (3-4), and is tied to the end of the anchor downward. The form of the anchor is not fixed.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the water tank (1) is filled with a bottom medium simulating the seabed. The type of the bottom medium is determined according to the test content. Clear water is poured into the upper end of the bottom medium. The clear water is poured from the upper end of the water tank (1) and discharged from the water outlet pipe (1-2) when not in use, and the water outlet pipe (1-2) is closed when in use.

[0051] Some other embodiments of the present invention provide a method for simulating a floating platform using an anchoring force test device, which is used to simulate the floating of the floating platform affected by waves and ocean currents and apply a pulling force to the anchor through the loading device (2) and the guiding device (3). The method for simulating the floating platform is as follows:

[0052] a. Extend the output shaft (2-2) by half of its length, and the hanging ring (3-4) is directly above the middle of the water tank (1).

[0053] b. Install the anchor and the cable, arrange a tensiometer on the cable to monitor the magnitude of the pulling force, and the cable is in a slack state on the verge of being taut.

[0054] c. Shorten the telescopic shaft (2-2) to tighten the cable and apply a pulling force to the anchor.

[0055] d. When simulating the floating platform at rest and applying a pulling force with a constant magnitude and direction to the anchor, maintain the value of the pulling force at a predetermined value. When the value of the pulling force is less than the predetermined value, shorten the telescopic shaft; when the value of the pulling force is greater than the predetermined value, extend the telescopic shaft.

[0056] e. When simulating the movement of the floating platform and applying a pulling force with a variable magnitude and a constant direction to the anchor, change the magnitude of the pulling force by shortening and extending the telescopic shaft, and do not move the guiding device (3) to keep the direction of the pulling force unchanged.

[0057] f. When simulating the movement of the floating platform and applying a pulling force with a constant magnitude and a variable direction to the anchor, change the positions of the sliding rails of the longitudinal guide rails (3-1) and (3-2) and the transverse guide rail (3-3) of the guiding device (3) to change the direction of the pulling force. Since the cable is a rigid cable, when the position of the hanging ring (3-4) changes, the length of the cable changes accordingly, which will cause a change in the pulling force. Follow-up change the extension length of the telescopic shaft (2-2). When the value of the pulling force is less than the predetermined value, shorten the telescopic shaft; when the value of the pulling force is greater than the predetermined value, extend the telescopic shaft.

[0058] g. When simulating the movement of the floating platform and applying a pulling force with a variable magnitude and a variable direction to the anchor, change the positions of the sliding rails of the longitudinal guide rails (3-1) and (3-2) and the transverse guide rail (3-3) of the guiding device (3) to change the direction of the pulling force. Since the cable is a rigid cable, when the position of the hanging ring (3-4) changes, the length of the cable changes accordingly, which will cause a change in the pulling force. Follow-up change the extension length of the telescopic shaft (2-2). When the value of the pulling force is less than the predetermined value of the variable force, shorten the telescopic shaft; when the value of the pulling force is greater than the predetermined value of the variable force, extend the telescopic shaft.

[0059] h. When the anchor is pulled out, stop the loading device (2) and the guiding device (3) in time

[0060] Among them, it should be noted that steps d, e, f, and g can be combined or used separately according to instructions.

[0061] In summary, the anchoring force test device provided by the present invention simulates the interaction relationship between the floating platform and the anchor through the loading device (2) and the guiding device (3), and is used for the anchoring performance test of the anchor, which can more accurately test the performance parameters of the anchor and improve the design usability of the anchor.
