Step 2: Collect data from each drive point of the ship lift drive system to obtain the rotational speed n of the motor at each drive point of the ship compartment. m With power P m The torque T of each motor at each drive point is calculated. m The total output torque T of the motor at each drive point is calculated. Mn ; Step 3: Calculate the total operating load of the ship lift's ship chambers using the water level h and operating conditions collected in Step 1. ; Step 4: Calculate the reference error of the torque data for each synchronous shaft in the drive system of the ship lift. After eliminating the reference error of the synchronous shaft torque data from the data collected by the synchronous shaft torque monitoring system, obtain the synchronous shaft torque T for each synchronous shaft.sn ; Step 5: Verify the synchronous shaft torque monitoring data; if the verification fails, check and calibrate the synchronous shaft torque monitoring system before proceeding to Step 4; if the verification passes, proceed according to the synchronous shaft torque T. sn With the total output torque T of the motor Mn Obtain the calculated load at the ship's driving point and calculate the total calculated load on the ship's cabin. ; Step 6: Calculate the total operating load of the ship lift cabin based on the calculation in Step 3.

[0006] In step 2, there are a total of n drive points, and the number of motors at each drive point is y; the torque T of each motor at each drive point is... m Using the motor torque formula Calculated to obtain the total output torque of the motor at the nth drive point. = .

[0007] There are 2 motors at each drive point, i.e., y=2; there are a total of 4 drive points, i.e., n=4.

[0008] In step 3, the total operating load of the ship lift's cabins... When the ship is in an upward state The ship is in a downward direction. Where M2 and f are the initial weight deviation of the cabin and the resultant frictional force of the system, respectively, both of which are fixed values ​​obtained by calculating the measurement data of the cabin's up-and-down movement; M1 is the unbalanced load caused by the cabin's misloading depth, calculated as follows: Where L is the length of the hull in water, and W is the width of the hull in water.

The pitch circle radius of the drive mechanism pinion is 262.862. It is 0.501m.

[0024] The method for verifying the load of the gear and rack in the ship lift drive system includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect water level data at the following points in the Three Gorges Dam ship lift: h1, h2, h3…h 14 Calculate the water level in the ship's compartment The ship's direction of travel is collected to determine the ship's operating status, i.e., whether the ship is in an upward or downward state.

[0031] Step 5: Verify the synchronous shaft torque monitoring data. Calculate the intermediate synchronous shaft torque value during the ship's upward or downward travel. With intermediate synchronous shaft torque T s5 The mean difference MD is used to determine whether the mean difference MD exceeds the error limit value ψ of the synchronous shaft torque monitoring system, where the value of ψ is 200 N•m in the Three Gorges ship lift.

[0032] T s5 This is the measurement result of the intermediate synchronous shaft torque. This is the calculated result of the intermediate synchronous shaft torque.

[0033] If MD > ψ, then proceed to step 4 after checking and calibrating the synchronous shaft torque monitoring system; If MD≤ψ, then according to the synchronous shaft torque (synchronous shaft torque T)s1 T s2 T s3 T s4 ) and the output torque of the drive motor (total output torque of the drive motor) ) Calculate the load at the ship's driving point ,in The drive unit reducer has a gear ratio of 262.862. The radius of the pinion in the gear and rack structure is 0.501m; ; Right now: Calculated load of the first driving point ; Calculated load of the second driving point

[0034] Calculated load of the third driving point
