Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep sea engineering, and in particular to a method for installing a trailer for a deep water test pool. Background Art
[0002] Currently, wind-wave combined deepwater laboratories are widely used to simulate the effects of complex marine environmental loads, such as wind and waves, on structures. These laboratories typically generate wind loads through wind-generating systems, which are then rectified to form a stable wind field that acts on the test model. Simultaneously, deepwater test tanks are used to simulate wave loads. To meet the needs of multidisciplinary testing, these laboratories are often equipped with mobile trailer systems to carry work platforms or test equipment, enabling testing under various operating conditions.
[0003] Traditional trailer systems typically use an integrated structure, with the main and auxiliary vehicles often being closed or semi-closed frames, and their operation control devices usually integrated into the auxiliary vehicle. However, in the wind-wave joint laboratory of a large-scale up-and-down circulation wind tunnel, due to the closed vertical structure of the wind tunnel and the large span of the water tank, the installation of the trailer faces the following technical challenges:
[0004] 1. Wind field interference: The closed or semi-closed structure of traditional trailers may disturb the flow field in the wind tunnel, affecting the test accuracy;
[0005] 2. Space limitation: After the upper wind tunnel is installed, the internal space is limited and it is impossible to carry out the overall trailer lifting;
[0006] 3. Installation sequence conflict: The trailer needs to be transported to the designated location before the wind tunnel structure above the pool is completed. However, due to the construction progress, it may not be possible to complete the installation in one go.
[0007] 4. Operational convenience: The control devices of traditional trailers are usually placed in the auxiliary vehicle frame, which is not conducive to rapid adjustment and monitoring by test personnel. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a trailer installation method for a deep water test tank, which can effectively reduce the resistance to the wind field, improve the operational convenience, and avoid interfering with the installation process of other equipment.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present application is: a trailer installation method for a deep water test tank, comprising:
[0010] S1. Use the center line of the on-site pool as the reference line for the XY trailer installation to manufacture and install the base frame;
[0011] S2. Use a crane to hoist the segmented main vehicle body structure into place, ensuring that the centerline of the wheel assembly coincides with the centerline of the main vehicle track. Adjust the vehicle body position to keep the diagonal deviation within the threshold range. After confirming that it is correct, drive the locating pins to secure it.
[0012] S3. Use a crane to hoist the motor and reducer through the installation port to the designated location, and connect the wheel assembly, reducer and motor through the coupling;

The pressing force of the collector is adjusted to ensure power supply continuity during the entire operation of the XY trailer.
[0021] As a preferred solution of the present invention, step S3 further includes: adjusting the pad to ensure that the axes of the reducer, the motor and the wheel axle are collinear and aligned in height direction.
[0022] As a preferred solution of the present invention, in step S4, the center line of the auxiliary vehicle is kept parallel to the center line of the auxiliary vehicle track.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.
