Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of construction vessels, and particularly relates to an optimization method and system for the operation parameters of construction vessels based on the coupled action of wind and waves. Background Art
[0002] A construction vessel, also known as a floating crane, is a special vessel designed specifically for loading and unloading large goods at ports. This type of vessel is equipped with advanced lifting equipment, and its boom design is divided into two types: fixed and rotary, to adapt to different operation requirements. The lifting capacity of construction vessels usually ranges from several hundred tons to several thousand tons, and can handle various large goods. It should be noted that construction vessels generally do not have the ability of self-navigation, so they usually need the assistance of other tugboats to move. In addition to loading and unloading goods, construction vessels are often used as port engineering vessels to participate in various port construction and maintenance work.
[0003] When performing the hoisting and towing operations of construction vessels, these vessels will inevitably be affected by various complex environmental factors such as wind, waves, and water currents. The combined action of these environmental factors on construction vessels makes the distribution of their motion responses and mooring forces extremely complex and variable. These factors have a direct impact on the safety and efficiency of the operation. Currently, in order to predict the behavior of construction vessels during hoisting and towing operations, it mainly relies on traditional single-degree-of-freedom models or simplified multi-degree-of-freedom models. However, due to the simplified nature of these models, they are often difficult to accurately reflect the multi-body dynamics behavior of construction vessels in actual operations. Especially during hoisting operations, the complex interaction between the suspended object and the hull is often ignored, resulting in a large deviation between the prediction results and the actual working conditions. This deviation not only affects the safety of the operation but also reduces the efficiency of the operation. Therefore, developing more accurate models and prediction technologies is crucial for improving the safety and efficiency of construction vessel operations. Summary of the Invention

This module uses numerical integration techniques (such as the Runge-Kutta method) to analyze the multi-body dynamics equations, and then obtains the motion response data of the construction ship under complex sea conditions. These data cover the six-degree-of-freedom motion of the hull and the suspended items - including lateral movement, longitudinal movement, vertical lifting, lateral swaying, longitudinal tilting, and rotational motion - as well as the tension changes in the suspension ropes.
[0042] The mooring force calculation module calculates the tension distribution of each cable based on the motion response and the non-linear characteristics of the mooring system. The mooring force calculation module aims to evaluate the force condition of the mooring system. By considering the hull motion response and the non-linear characteristics of the mooring system, this module can calculate the tension distribution of each mooring cable, especially accurately evaluate the maximum tension of the mooring cable and its fatigue life.

[0053] Set up a six - degree - of - freedom non - contact motion measurement system to achieve motion visualization verification and optimization. It consists of multiple motion capture cameras and acquisition and analysis software, etc. The motion capture cameras complete the task of motion capture by monitoring and tracking specific landmark points on the object to be measured. For easy processing, it is usually required to attach some special marker balls, called "Markers", to the key parts of the object. These Markers have the functions of reflecting light or actively emitting light. The infrared camera emits invisible infrared light and irradiates it on the marker. The marker will reflect the infrared light, and the camera captures it again, thus recording the accurate spatial position of the marker point. The vision system will identify and process these markers. After the system is calibrated, the camera continuously shoots the actions of the object to be measured and saves the image sequence, and then analyzes and processes it to identify the marker points. When the motion capture camera shoots continuously at a high enough rate, the data acquisition and analysis software can obtain the motion trajectory and six - degree - of - freedom data of this point from the image sequence. By comparing the data results of the multi - body theory prediction system and the visualization measurement system, the accuracy of this method can be verified and optimized.
[0054] For the data visualization and optimization module, please refer to Figure 7 , the 3D dynamic model view shows the motion trajectory lines of the hull / lifted object, indicating the trajectory of the hull or lifted object. The real - time attitude indicator is used to display the six - degree - of - freedom motion attitude of the current object. The mooring force distribution radar chart shows the tension of the root cables, namely the tension of cable 1 (red bar), the tension of cable 2 (gray bar), the tension of cable 3 (orange bar), and the tension of cable 4 (green bar). The time - series curve includes three charts, respectively showing the changes of the roll, pitch, and heave of the construction hull over time. The optimization suggestion panel suggests adjusting the cable pretension and recommending the operation window period. The alarm indication area marks the areas that require special attention for structural safety. This module aims to graphically display the calculation results of the motion response and mooring force and provide corresponding optimization suggestions. Through the graphical interface, it shows information such as the motion trajectory of the hull and the lifted load, the variation of the sling tension, and the force distribution of the mooring cables, to assist designers in optimizing the mooring plan and operation strategy of the construction ship.
[0055] The second embodiment, a method for optimizing the operation parameters of a construction ship based on the coupled action of wind and waves, includes: S1. Establish a multi - body dynamics model and multi - body dynamics equations of the construction ship.
