Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rescue boat technology, and in particular to a method and system for stability analysis and compartment optimization of an inflatable rescue boat. Background Technology

[0002] Inflatable rescue boats, with their superior operational capabilities, have become indispensable equipment in water rescue missions. However, the rapids and unpredictable environments encountered during rescue operations pose risks of capsizing and damage to inflatable rescue boats. The stability of a rescue boat directly affects the safety of the crew and those being rescued, and also directly impacts the efficiency and success rate of rescue operations, enabling rescuers to execute their missions more effectively. Stability studies and compartment optimization can help determine the load-bearing capacity and safe operating limits of rescue boats under different conditions, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.

[0003] Rescue boats are typically lightweight, so factors such as increases and decreases in load, horizontal and vertical load movement, and air chamber compartment configuration all significantly impact their buoyancy and stability. Traditional stability analysis and compartment optimization methods usually only address single operating conditions and cannot consider the influence of load increases / decreases and distribution, air chamber damage, and other complex conditions on the boat's stability. Therefore, they cannot comprehensively and accurately evaluate the overall stability of the rescue boat. Thus, there is an urgent need to propose a stability analysis and compartment optimization method for inflatable rescue boats to study the impact of different load conditions on the boat's stability, explore the changes in stability under different breach conditions, and establish relevant regression models. This will quantitatively describe the overall stability of the rescue boat under complex conditions, enhance its stability and anti-sinking ability, and provide a theoretical basis for the design, development, and stability verification of rescue boats. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for stability analysis and compartment optimization of inflatable rescue boats, which can provide a certain reference for the design of inflatable rescue boats and also play a certain guiding role in their practical application.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for stability analysis and compartment optimization of an inflatable rescue boat, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Establish a model of the total load capacity and spatial distribution of the inflatable rescue boat based on its operating conditions, and identify the optimal parameters of the model.

[0007] S2. Divide the airbags of the inflatable rescue boat into different numbers of uniformly sized air chambers, and on this basis, study the specific stability changes of the inflatable rescue boat when a certain air chamber is damaged, and solve the stability characteristic regression model.

[0008] S3. Optimize the compartments of the inflatable rescue boat based on the regression model of the relationship between the inflatable rescue boat's loading status, damage status and stability.

[0009] Preferably, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0010] S101. Establish a complete unloaded inflatable rescue boat model and conduct stability analysis;

[0011] S102. Establish complete inflatable rescue boat models under different load conditions and conduct stability analysis;

[0012] S103. Determine the optimal load-bearing parameters in the equivalent complete inflatable rescue boat model based on the stability analysis results.

[0013] S2 includes the following steps:

[0014] S201. Establish a model for different air chamber structures of inflatable rescue boats, and evaluate the probability of damage to each air chamber and the impact of damage on the performance of the rescue boat.

Since the probability of airbag rupture is different in different positions, the rupture stability of airbags with high rupture probability in the front and side airbags of the rescue boat is given priority.

[0023] The impact of different air chamber ruptures on the stability of the inflatable rescue boat in S202 was analyzed by simulation software modules to calculate the stability of each air chamber rupture condition. The heel range was 0 to 90° with a step size of 10°, and the pitch angle was set to free pitch depending on the load condition.

[0024] Preferably, the BP neural network consists of a three-layer topology: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer.

The stability curve is obtained by polynomial fitting. The stability curves of each air chamber damage under different compartmentation conditions are evaluated. First, a compartmentation method with good stability is selected. Then, the economy and manufacturing difficulty are comprehensively considered for further optimization.

[0038] Preferably, the construction process of the model building unit is as follows: the existing basic model of the inflatable rescue boat is simplified, the additional structure other than the main structure of the boat is removed, and the small-scale gaps and grooves are smoothed.
