Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship degaussing, and in particular to a floating operation system for ship degaussing. Background Art

[0002] Ships are usually made of steel. Due to the existence of the earth's magnetic field, magnetism will accumulate on the hull to form a magnetic field, which is easily damaged by magnetic fuse equipment. In order to improve the magnetic protection ability of ships and ensure navigation safety, newly built or repaired ships, as well as ships that have been used for a certain period of time, need to be degaussed. The technological upgrading and development of ship degaussing equipment has become an inevitable trend. The common principle of ship degaussing technology is to use degaussing cables to form a spiral coil on the outer circle of the ship. Using the electromagnetic field theory, an alternating magnetic field is formed by transmitting an alternating large current through the degaussing cables, disrupting and weakening the inherent magnetism formed by the ship cutting the earth's magnetic field after long-term use, so as to achieve the purpose of degaussing.

[0003] During the ship degaussing operation, generally a special degaussing dock or temporary cable winding is used for degaussing. Because the special degaussing dock has high requirements for infrastructure and large construction costs, and the number of domestic special degaussing docks is small, the phenomenon of ships queuing for degaussing is serious; if temporary cable winding is used, a suitable sea area must be selected first, and a working coil is temporarily wound outside the ship for magnetic treatment. This method requires a large amount of manual labor, the degaussing speed is very slow, and the degaussing cable is easily damaged, making the ship immobile. Even for small-tonnage ships, it takes 2 - 3 days for each ship to be degaussed. And because the ship is tied up by cables during degaussing, it is difficult to maneuver in an emergency and is in a very dangerous situation. This contradiction is not prominent usually, but in the face of an emergency or unexpected event, a serious situation of degaussing a large number of ships in a short period of time will be faced.

[0038] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The present invention provides a ship degaussing floating operation system 1. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , including a dock - type platform 11, a cable frame 12, a magnetic sensor 13, and a cable coil 120.

[0040] There are multiple cable frames 12, and the multiple cable frames 12 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the dock-type platform 11. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the dock-type platform 11 has a sunken chamber 110, and the cable coil 120 is wound along the inner walls of the cable frame 12 and the sunken chamber 110 to form a closed-loop spiral coil; during degaussing, the ship 2 to be degaussed is located inside the closed-loop spiral coil.

[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, and referring to Figure 1 for understanding, there are multiple magnetic sensors 13, and the multiple magnetic sensors 13 are arranged at the bottom of the sunken chamber 110 and are arrayed along the distribution direction of the cable frame 12 (i.e., Figure 2 the direction indicated by the arrow in

[0042] Those skilled in the art can understand that the bottom of the sunken chamber 110 can be understood as the dock bottom of the dock-type platform 11, the side wall of the sunken chamber 110 can be understood as the dock wall of the dock-type platform 11, and the remaining dock-type platform area outside the sunken chamber 110 can be understood as the dock top of the dock-type platform.

[0043] The ship degaussing floating operation system 1 provided by the present invention provides a more portable, flexible and maneuverable operation environment for the degaussing work of ships, eliminates on-site manual wiring, greatly reduces the degaussing service work, improves the degaussing efficiency, reduces the ship degaussing stay or queuing time, and moreover, the ship degaussing floating operation system provided by the present invention can avoid physical contact between the spiral coil and the ship 2 to be degaussed through the preset closed-loop spiral coil, or can be understood as avoiding the closed-loop spiral coil from winding around the hull surface of the ship 2 to be degaussed. Furthermore, it can improve the maneuverability of the ship, can exit the degaussing process at any time without disassembling the wiring, greatly improves the rapid deployment efficiency, and solves the emergency degaussing demand.

[0044] The above-mentioned various structures, equipment, etc. all adopt non-magnetic or low-magnetic materials, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc.

[0045] In one embodiment, the cable frame 12 includes multiple bays. Those skilled in the art can understand that a bay is a frame elevation composed of columns and beams in a steel structure. As Figure 3 shown, the cable frame 12 is a U-shaped bracket, and both ends of the U-shaped bracket are fixed to the platform surface of the dock-type platform 11 located outside the sunken chamber 110. In other alternative embodiments, the cable frame 12 can also be of other shapes, such as C-shaped, linear, or broken-line shaped, as long as the cable coil can be wound on it to form a closed-loop spiral coil, it does not deviate from the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] Those skilled in the art can understand that the dock-type platform 11 is heaveable, and there is a water storage space inside the dock-type platform. The height of the dock-type platform 11 at the sea level is adjusted by changing the water storage volume.

[0047] Among them, the cable coil 120 can be hung on the cable frame 12, or can be tied to the cable frame 12 through external connectors such as metal fixing rings or fiber binding straps. In one embodiment, a first wire groove 141 is provided on the cable frame 12. In one embodiment, the first wire groove 141 is provided on the inner side of the cable frame 12. A second wire groove 142 is provided on the inner wall of the sinking chamber 110, and the cable coil 120 is installed in the first wire groove 141 and the second wire groove 142. In one embodiment, both the first wire groove 141 and the second wire groove 142 are fiberglass wire grooves.

[0048] The cable coil can be wrapped by the first wire groove 141 and the second wire groove 142 to protect the cable coil from damage, thereby improving the service life of the cable coil.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the multiple magnetic sensors 13 include multiple magnetic sensor groups, and each magnetic sensor group includes multiple magnetic sensors 13. Along the distribution direction perpendicular to the cable frame (such as Figure 1 the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure), the multiple magnetic sensors 13 in each magnetic sensor group are distributed on both sides of the corresponding cable frame 12. Or it can be understood that a row of magnetic sensors is distributed on both sides of each cable frame 12. In other alternative embodiments, the multiple magnetic sensors 13 are arranged at equal intervals along the bottom of the sinking chamber 110 to form a sensor array.

[0050] During degaussing, a constant current is passed through the cable coil, and this current will generate a magnetic field. When the current magnetic field is opposite to the direction of the original fixed magnetic field inside the ship's hull, this magnetic field magnetizes the ship from the opposite direction, so that its original inherent magnetism is eliminated. The magnetic sensor 13 is used to detect the current magnetic field data of the ship to be degaussed 2 and send the current magnetic field data to the controller. The controller controls the electromagnetic coil to degauss the ship to be degaussed 2 according to the detected current magnetic field data and the preset target magnetic field data. Specifically, the current magnitude or the energization time of the electromagnetic coil can be controlled. After degaussing is completed, the magnetic sensor 13 can be used again to detect the magnetic field data of the ship to determine whether the degaussing reaches the target value.

[0051] In a further embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 further includes a mooring post 15. The mooring post 15 is installed on the platform surface (or can be understood as the dock top) of the dock-type platform outside the sinking chamber and in the middle of two adjacent cable frames 12. The mooring post 15 is used to fix the ship at the target position during degaussing.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 . Buffer pads 16 are provided on two opposite side walls (or understood as dock walls) of the sinking chamber 110. The buffer pads 16 are used to protect the ship from damage caused by collision when it sways under the influence of wind and waves during the degaussing process. The buffer pads 16 can be, for example, rubber fenders. In a further embodiment, there can be multiple buffer pads 16. Specifically, at least one buffer pad 16 is provided between each pair of adjacent cable frames 12.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 further includes a towing winch 17. The towing winch 17 is provided on the platform surface outside the sinking chamber 110 in the dock-type platform 11, along the distribution direction of the cable frames 12 (such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 the direction indicated by the arrow in), and the towing winch 17 is located at the head and / or tail of the dock-type platform 11.

[0054] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 further includes a connecting footbridge 18. Along the distribution direction of the cable frames (such as Figure 1 the direction indicated by the arrow in), the connecting footbridge 18 is located at the head and / or tail of the dock-type platform 11. The connecting footbridge 18 includes a first bridge section 181 and a second bridge section 182. One end of the first bridge section 181 is rotatably connected to the first side wall of the sinking chamber 110, and one end of the second bridge section 182 is rotatably connected to the second side wall of the sinking chamber 110, and the first side wall and the second side wall are opposite;

[0055] The connecting footbridge 18 can be switched between an open state and a combined state under the drive of an external force. Figure 1 Shown is the combined state. When the connecting footbridge 18 is in the open state, the second end of the first bridge section 181 faces away from the second end of the second bridge section 182. When the connecting footbridge 18 is in the combined state, the second end of the first bridge section 181 is connected to the second end of the second bridge section 182, and as Figure 1 shown, it encloses to form a triangular connecting bridge. In one embodiment, the second ends of both the first bridge section 181 and the second bridge section 182 are hinged to the corresponding side walls of the sinking chamber 110. In other alternative embodiments, it can also be rotatably connected in other ways, as long as the relative movement of the second end of the first bridge section 181 and the second end of the second bridge section 182 can be satisfied, it does not deviate from the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] The connecting temporary bridge 18 is used to facilitate the movement of operators on the dock-type platform 11 during ship degaussing, reducing the walking distance during operation. For example, after the dock-type platform 11 sinks, it connects the two sides of the dock top to provide a working passage for personnel, which helps to improve the ship degaussing efficiency. When the degaussing is completed, the connecting temporary bridge can be adjusted to the open state for the ship to sail out of the dock.

[0057] In a further embodiment, please refer to Figures 4a to 4d , the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 further includes an anchoring device 19. The dock-type platform 11 is connected to the anchoring device 19 and fixed to the target sea area through the anchoring device 19.

[0058] The following is an example of the process of ship degaussing. Please refer to Figures 4a to 4d , and in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 Understand that during the ship degaussing process, the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 is positioned in the target sea area through the anchoring device 19, and the operators can go back and forth through the connecting temporary bridge 18. To reduce the influence of sea conditions, the included angle between the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 and the main wave direction is as small as possible. As Figure 4b shown, the ship 2 to be degaussed sails to the vicinity of the ship degaussing floating operation system 1. Two mooring ropes are led out from the bow and connected to the towing winch 17 of the ship degaussing floating operation system 1, and the docking angle is controlled with the assistance of the tugboat 3. Then, as Figure 4c shown, the ship 2 to be degaussed slowly enters the dock under the towing of the towing winch 17, and the tugboat 3 assists in adjusting the ship's docking angle outside. Then, as Figure 4d shown, after the ship 2 to be degaussed completely enters the dock, the towing winch 17 stops working. Bow ropes, breast ropes and stern ropes are led out from both sides of the ship 2 to be degaussed and fixed to the bollards 15 of the ship degaussing floating operation system 1, and the preparatory work for degaussing operations can be carried out synchronously. After the ship degaussing operation is completed, the ship slowly sails away from the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 with the assistance of the tugboat 3.

[0059] The ship degaussing floating operation system 1 provided by the present invention is easy to be maneuverably deployed with the assistance of a tugboat, especially suitable for degaussing ships in case of emergency, and has significant emergency benefits. Since there is no need to temporarily wind cables around the ship's hull, the labor intensity of degaussing operators can be reduced, the ship degaussing time can be shortened, and the degaussing effect is good. After the floating operation device is built and put into operation, the requirements for surrounding supporting facilities are small, and it can be repeatedly put into use with low maintenance costs, having good economic benefits.

[0060] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative efforts. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims.
