Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater test equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic compensation floating experimental device and method for underwater tests. Background Art
[0002] With the development of technology, the anti-shock and anti-explosion capabilities of ships have become the key to enhancing their combat capabilities and vitality. Before large shipborne equipment is installed on ships, it is necessary to test its anti-shock ability. Traditional underwater test equipment has problems such as unstable posture, being easily affected by shock waves, and being unable to automatically adjust parameters, which affect the accuracy of test data and the service life of the equipment. However, due to the high construction cost of ships, it is impossible to conduct a large number of physical experiments on ships, and simple model experiments cannot accurately reflect the structural characteristics and damage of actual ships. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an underwater test device that can automatically adjust, stabilize the posture, automatically compensate, and absorb and reduce vibration. Therefore, in the offshore oil production system, strengthening the research and application of offshore flexible pipe armor has great significance for ensuring production safety and improving production efficiency.
[0003] In underwater explosion tests, it is necessary to improve the strength of the designed test equipment to ensure that the equipment can still operate normally under the impact. For anti-shock assessment, there are currently two main types of test equipment: shock testing machines and floating shock platforms (FSP). Among them, shock testing machines simulate the anti-shock tests of small ships and are commonly used in the anti-shock test assessments of small shipborne equipment; the other type of test equipment is the floating shock platform used for the anti-shock test assessments of large shipborne equipment.
[0004] Similar to the installation method on ships, the equipment needs to be installed on a floating shock platform. The assessment content is that during the process of the floating shock platform being affected by underwater explosions to different degrees, the shipborne equipment needs to complete anti-shock tests, and all indicators need to be qualified. For the system construction of floating shock platforms, China currently has various types of floating platforms in different quantities, but the test capabilities do not meet the actual usage requirements of large and medium-sized equipment. Therefore, the current structural types of small and standard floating platforms have limited applicable categories for equipment assessment.
[0005] Existing methods for simulating the shock response of shock platforms have limitations. For example, the method of directly loading shock wave loads on the explosion-facing surface of the flow field to simulate the shock response of the platform under far-field explosion has made up for the deficiencies of finite element software in far-field calculations, but there may be errors in simulations under other complex working conditions; the EMD method is used to filter and analyze the low-frequency errors of the platform acceleration sensor, and its applicability and accuracy may vary under different conditions.
[0006] Shipborne equipment needs to be tested for shock resistance in shock environments such as underwater explosions. The shock response spectrum is a commonly used standard method for equipment testing at home and abroad, and there are different requirements in the specifications of various countries. Accurately obtaining the shock environment is of great significance for the accuracy and reliability of equipment shock resistance testing. Existing measurement methods have deficiencies, such as the influence of zero drift on shock acceleration measurement, etc., and more accurate measurement means are needed. Summary of the Invention
