DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0020] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing device cannot flexibly replace air cushion layers of different materials or structures, it is difficult to compare the friction performance of different air cushion designs, and the efficiency of optimization research is limited, the present application provides an air cushion icebreaking platform friction coefficient measuring device, which can comprehensively and accurately measure the friction coefficient of air cushion icebreaking platforms of different materials or structures under different conditions, and provides strong data support for the design and performance optimization of air cushion ships.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The friction coefficient measuring device of the air cushion icebreaking platform comprises a test box 1, an air cushion module 2, a displacement mechanism 3 and a measuring module 4. The test box 1 is internally provided with a test area capable of simulating an ice surface environment. The air cushion module 2 is arranged in the test area and comprises a mounting body 21 and a plurality of air cushion layers 22. Each air cushion layer 22 is detachably connected with the mounting body 21 and / or an adjacent air cushion layer 22. The air cushion layer 22 can be independently replaced or stacked and combined. An outer surface of the air cushion layer 22 forms a friction contact surface for contacting the ice surface. The displacement mechanism 3 is connected with the test box 1 and the mounting body 21 and is used for driving the mounting body 21 to move in the test area. The measuring module 4 is connected with the mounting body 21 and / or the air cushion layer 22 and is used for measuring the friction between the friction contact surface and the ice surface of the test area.

[0022] In the device, the test box 1 is internally provided with a test area capable of simulating an ice surface environment. The test area can simulate the real ice surface conditions in the polar region or cold water area. The air cushion module 2 is arranged in the test area. Under the driving of the displacement mechanism 3, the mounting body 21 can move in the test area to simulate the movement process of an object on the ice surface. The outer surface of the air cushion layer 22 forms a friction contact surface. The friction contact surface generates friction with the ice surface. The measuring module 4 is used for measuring the size of the friction, thereby realizing the friction performance test of the air cushion ship when breaking ice.

[0023] It can be understood that, in the present scheme, the test area of the test box 1 is provided with test water 12 and an ice layer 11. By adjusting the temperature of the water and the thickness of the ice layer 11, conditions under different ice surface environments can be simulated. The front end of the air cushion module 2 can also be provided with an icebreaking mechanism, which can break the ice surface to further simulate the real situation of the air cushion ship when breaking ice. In order to more accurately simulate the friction performance of the air cushion module 2 under various ice surface environments, in some possible embodiments, an environment control system is also provided in the test box 1. The environment control system comprises a temperature adjusting device, a humidity adjusting device and a gas pressure adjusting device. The temperature adjusting device is used for adjusting the temperature in the test box 1 to simulate the ice surface temperature under different climate conditions. The humidity adjusting device is used for adjusting the humidity in the test box 1 to simulate the humidity change of the ice surface environment. The gas pressure adjusting device is used for adjusting the gas pressure in the test box 1 to simulate the gas pressure conditions under different altitudes or special environments, so as to simulate the ice surface state under different climate conditions.

[0024] Preferably, please refer to Figures 1 to 3In the present embodiment, the air cushion module 2 further comprises a seal 23, and the plurality of air cushion layers 22 can be independently connected with the installation body 21 and sequentially installed. The installation body is installed on the displacement mechanism 3, and serves as a support structure of the air cushion module 2 to ensure that the air cushion layers 22 are stably maintained at a predetermined position during the test. The installation body 21 can adopt a square structure or a structure similar to an air cushion ship so as to better simulate the actual working state of the air cushion ship. The seal 23 is used to connect the adjacent two air cushion layers 22 and one air cushion layer 22 and the installation body 21, so as to ensure the tight connection between the air cushion layers 22 and the installation body 21 and between the air cushion layers 22, prevent gas leakage through the seal 23, and ensure that the air cushion layers 22 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0025] In some possible embodiments, the seal 23 is a waterproof zipper, and the air cushion layers 22 can be sequentially connected together through the waterproof zipper, so as to ensure the sealing and waterproof performance during the test. Each air cushion layer 22 is made of different materials, such as rubber, silica gel, polyurethane, etc., so as to simulate the influence of the ice layer 11 on the friction coefficient of the air cushion of different materials, and research the friction characteristics of different materials on the ice surface. It should be noted that the air cushion layer 22 can adopt a semi-enclosed or fully-enclosed structure. In the semi-enclosed design, the air cushion layer 22 is outside the installation body 21 and covers one or more surfaces or a part thereof. The edge of the air cushion layer 22 is provided with a waterproof zipper, so as to facilitate the connection between the air cushion layer 22 and the installation body 21. In addition, the outer surface of the air cushion layer 22 is provided with a waterproof zipper, so as to be connected with other air cushion layers 22. In the fully-enclosed design, the air cushion layer 22 can be directly sleeved around the installation body 21, and the top end and the bottom end of the air cushion layer 22 are provided with waterproof zippers, so as to be connected with the installation body 21. The outer surface of the air cushion layer 22 is also provided with a waterproof zipper, so as to be connected with the adjacent air cushion layer 22 or the installation body 21.

[0026] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the waterproof zipper is an airtight zipper, and the connection between the air cushion layers 22 and between the air cushion layers 22 and the mounting body 21 can still be kept tight in high or low pressure environments. The seal 23 can also adopt other structures that can achieve sealing and facilitate replacement. The design in which multiple air cushion layers 22 are connected together in sequence through waterproof zippers or other types of seals 23 not only facilitates the replacement of the air cushion layers 22 and the comparison test under different conditions, but also allows the tester to flexibly select air cushion layers 22 of different materials according to specific needs to simulate and test the driving performance of the air cushion boat on different ice conditions, thereby providing more comprehensive data support for the design and optimization of the air cushion boat. By adopting the design in which multiple air cushion layers 22 are connected to each other, a convenient replacement mechanism can be achieved. During the test, if it is necessary to replace the air cushion layer 22, the staff only needs to perform a simple installation or removal operation, for example, the air cushion layers 22 that need to be tested can be installed on the mounting body 21, and then the air cushion module is installed in the test box, and when the air cushion needs to be replaced, the air cushion layers 22 are sequentially removed. During the formal test, there is no need to perform complex disassembly and reassembly in the limited space of the test box, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire test process.

[0027] To further enhance the flexibility and operability of the test, the side of the air cushion layer 22 close to the mounting body 21 forms an air cavity 221 with the adjacent air cushion layer 22 or the mounting body 21, and each air cushion layer 22 is equipped with a gas injection port 222 communicating with the air cavity 221, and a gas injection mechanism 5 such as a gas pump can be used to inflate the air cushion layer 22 through the gas injection port 222. In addition, a pressure sensor 24 is installed in each layer, which can monitor and feedback the gas pressure in the air cushion layer 22 in real time. In order to ensure the stability of the pressure, a pressure feedback mechanism is also provided, and during the test, the gas injection mechanism 5 is always connected with the gas injection port 222 of the corresponding air cushion layer 22, and according to the feedback of the pressure sensor 24, the gas supply is dynamically adjusted by the control system, so as to maintain the stability of the internal pressure of the air cushion layer 22. This design not only improves the accuracy of the test, but also ensures that the air cushion layer 22 can truly reflect its state in actual application. After each air cushion layer 22 is set, the pressure in the air cushion layer 22 remains consistent, so as to ensure that the elasticity and other properties of the air cushion layer 22 remain consistent when measuring the friction coefficient between the air cushion body and the ice surface, thereby eliminating the measurement error caused by uneven pressure of the air cushion layer 22 and facilitating the comparison test.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6, preferably, in the embodiment, the displacement mechanism 3 is a three-axis displacement platform. It comprises a lateral adjusting member 31, a longitudinal adjusting member 32 and a lifting adjusting member 33. The longitudinal adjusting member 32 is installed at the box opening of the test box 1, and its driving end is connected with the lateral adjusting member 31, so as to drive the lateral adjusting member 31 to move horizontally in the width direction of the test box 1. The driving end of the lateral adjusting member 31 is connected with the lifting adjusting member 33, so as to drive the lifting adjusting member 33 to move horizontally in the length direction of the test box 1. The driving end of the lifting adjusting member 33 is connected with the mounting body 21, so as to drive the mounting body 21 to move vertically. The three-axis displacement platform enables the air cushion module 2 to move freely in three-dimensional space, simulating various driving states of the air cushion vehicle on the ice surface.

[0029] In one embodiment, the lateral adjusting member 31 comprises a lateral mounting guide rail 311, a first screw rod 312, a first mounting frame 313 and a first motor 314. The longitudinal adjusting member 32 comprises a longitudinal mounting frame 321, a second screw rod 322, a threaded cylinder 323, a second motor 324, a guide rod 325 and a rod sleeve 326. The lifting adjusting member 33 comprises a cylinder 331 and a second mounting frame 332. Specifically, the lateral mounting guide rail 311 spans the box opening of the test box 1 and is installed on the test box 1. The lateral mounting guide rail 311 has an installation groove inside. The first screw rod 312 is rotatably installed in the installation groove. The first motor 314 is installed on the lateral mounting guide rail 311, and its driving end is connected with one end of the first screw rod 312. The first mounting frame 313 is threadedly connected with the first screw rod 312 and is in sliding connection with the installation groove. The guide rod 325 and the second screw rod 322 are respectively installed on both sides of the box opening of the test box 1 through the longitudinal mounting frame 321. The second motor 324 is installed on the longitudinal mounting frame 321 and is connected with one end of the second screw rod 322, so as to drive the second screw rod 322 to rotate. The threaded cylinder 323 is threadedly connected with the second screw rod 322. The rod sleeve 326 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 325. The first mounting frame 313 is connected with the threaded cylinder 323 and the rod sleeve 326. The cylinder body of the cylinder 331 is installed on the second mounting frame 332, and its piston rod is connected with the mounting body 21.

[0030] When working, the first motor 314 drives the first screw rod 312 to rotate, drives the first mounting frame 313 to slide on the mounting groove, and drives the horizontal adjustment member 31 to move horizontally in the length direction of the test box 1; the second motor 324 drives the second screw rod 322 to rotate, drives the threaded cylinder 323 to move along the second screw rod 322, and drives the rod sleeve 326 to slide on the guide rod 325, and then drives the horizontal adjustment member 31 to move horizontally in the width direction of the test box 1; the air cylinder 331 drives the mounting main body 21 to move up and down in the vertical direction through the extension and retraction of the piston rod. Through the coordinated operation of the three-axis displacement platform, the moving track and speed of the air cushion module 2 in the three-dimensional space can be accurately controlled, so that the complex driving state of the air cushion ship under different ice surface conditions can be simulated, and more accurate test data for the design and performance evaluation of the air cushion ship can be provided.

[0031] In other possible embodiments, the specific structural form of the horizontal adjustment member 31, the longitudinal adjustment member 32 and the lifting adjustment member 33 is not limited to this, and other types of linear modules, electric sliding tables or air cylinders and the like driving devices can also be used, as long as the free movement of the air cushion module 2 in the three-dimensional space can be realized. Of course, the displacement mechanism 3 can also adopt other forms, for example, be designed as a robot arm structure which has multiple degrees of freedom and can simulate more complex moving tracks and postures. One end of the robot arm is connected to the test box 1, and the other end is connected to the mounting main body 21, and through controlling the joint angle and moving speed of the robot arm, the moving path and posture of the air cushion module 2 in the three-dimensional space can be accurately controlled.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , preferably, in the embodiment, the measuring module 4 is installed between the mounting main body 21 and the displacement mechanism 3, and is used for collecting the friction data when the air cushion layer 22 moves. Specifically, the measuring module 4 comprises a first force sensor 41, a second force sensor 42 and a mounting seat 43, the first force sensor 41 is installed on one side of the bottom end of the second mounting frame 332, the detection end of the first force sensor 41 is connected with the second force sensor 42 through the mounting seat 43, and the detection end of the second force sensor 42 is connected with the mounting main body 21 through a connecting frame 44; wherein the two surfaces of the mounting seat 43 connecting the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 are perpendicular. During the movement of the mounting main body 21, the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 can measure the force in the vertical direction and the tension in the horizontal direction of the air cushion module 2 respectively, and through the real-time recording and processing of the data acquisition system, the friction coefficient of the air cushion module 2 under different air cushion layers 22 can be obtained.

[0033] In other embodiments, the measurement module 4 can also be a three-dimensional force sensor, which can detect the force of the air cushion module 2 in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions at the same time. The measurement module 4 can also be a contact sensor, etc., which is directly connected to the air cushion layer 22 to measure the contact force between the air cushion layer 22 and the ice surface, and then calculate the friction coefficient.

[0034] It should be noted that the principle of calculating the friction coefficient is based on Coulomb's friction law. By measuring the force of the object in the X-axis and Y-axis (usually horizontal tension and vertical normal pressure), combined with the balance condition or motion state analysis, the friction coefficient (friction coefficient μ = friction force F t / normal pressure N).

[0035] During navigation, the bottom of the air cushion ship is provided with a lift fan system or an air cushion generating system, which mainly functions to form an air cushion between the ship body and the ground (or water surface) by continuously injecting high-pressure air, thereby achieving suspension and drag reduction. In order to more accurately simulate the driving state of the air cushion ship on the ice surface, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the working effect of simulating the lift fan system or the air cushion generating system is also considered. The device further comprises a jet mechanism 5 connected to the air cushion module 2 and having a jet end facing the outside of the air cushion module 2, which is used to inject air flow to the outside of the air cushion module 2. By supplying air to the outside of the air cushion module 2 through the jet mechanism 5, an air cushion is formed between the air cushion module 2 and the ice surface to reduce the frictional resistance between the air cushion module 2 and the ice surface, thereby simulating the driving state of the air cushion ship on the ice surface.

[0036] When the mounting body is provided with different numbers of air cushion layers 22, the air cushion module 2 will have uneven thickness due to the need for inflation between the mounting body and the air cushion layer 22, and between each air cushion layer 22, which will cause the thickness to be inconsistent when different materials are tested. Inconsistency in thickness can cause misalignment between the air cushion module 2 and the air outlet, which will interfere with the uniform distribution of air flow, and thus affect the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Therefore, in one embodiment, the air injection end of the air injection mechanism 5 is adjustable. Specifically, the air injection mechanism 5 includes an adjustable nozzle 51, a connecting pipe 52, an angle adjusting member 53, and a height adjusting member 54, and the bottom of the air cushion module 2 is fixedly provided with a hollow fixing frame 25, the adjustable nozzle 51 is rotatably installed on the fixing frame 25, one end of the adjustable nozzle 51 is connected to the air source through the connecting pipe 52, the other end forms an air injection end, the air injection end is inclined upward along the air flow injection direction and faces the friction contact surface of the air cushion layer 22, the height adjusting member 54 is installed on the fixing frame 25, the angle adjusting member 53 is installed on the height adjusting member 54, and the angle adjusting member 53 is connected to the adjustable nozzle 51 for driving the adjustable nozzle 51 to rotate relative to the air cushion module 2 to adjust the air injection angle of the adjustable nozzle 51, and the height adjusting member 54 is used to drive the adjustable nozzle 51 to move relative to the air cushion module 2 to adjust the distance between the adjustable nozzle 51 and the air cushion module 2. The air injection mechanism 5 has the functions of adjusting the angle and height of the adjustable nozzle 51, and can flexibly adapt to the specific air supply requirements of the air cushion layer 22 at different positions. During the experimental operation, the height and angle of the adjustable nozzle 51 can be adjusted according to the specific settings of the different air cushion layers 22, effectively avoiding the test result deviation that may be caused by position misalignment.

[0037] In one of the embodiments, the connecting pipe 52 comprises a first fixed pipe 521, a second fixed pipe 522 and a flexible pipe 523, the angle adjusting member 53 comprises an electric rotating shaft 531, and the height adjusting member 54 comprises a third screw rod 541, a threaded sleeve 542, a third motor 543, a sliding sleeve 544 and a sliding rod 545. Specifically, the first fixed pipe 521 is connected with the air cushion module 2, the second fixed pipe 522 is installed at the driving end of the angle adjusting member 53 and connected with the adjustable nozzle 51, and the flexible pipe 523 is connected between the first fixed pipe 521 and the second fixed pipe 522, which is a bellows or a rubber hose. The third screw rod 541 and the sliding rod 545 are installed side by side on the fixed frame 25, the third motor 543 is installed on the fixed frame 25, the driving shaft of which is connected with one end of the third screw rod 541, the threaded sleeve 542 is sleeved on the third screw rod 541 and threadedly connected with the third screw rod 541, the sliding sleeve 544 is arranged on the sliding rod 545, the electric rotating shaft 531 is installed in the sliding sleeve 544, and the second fixed pipe 522 is rotatably installed between the driving shaft of the electric rotating shaft 531 and the threaded sleeve 542. The electric rotating shaft 531 is used to drive the second fixed pipe 522 to rotate the adjustable nozzle 51 relative to the air cushion module 2, so as to adjust the jet angle. When the third motor 543 drives the third screw rod 541 to rotate, the threaded sleeve 542 moves along the third screw rod 541, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 544 and the electric rotating shaft 531 to move on the sliding rod 545, so as to adjust the height of the adjustable nozzle 51. The jet mechanism 5 can flexibly adapt to the jet requirements of different positions and different angles, and ensure that the air flow can be uniformly distributed to the outer surface of the air cushion layer 22, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0039] In order to better understand the present application, the following will be described in combination with Figures 1 to 8 The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail: when working, the air cushion module 2 is first installed in the experimental water tank and in contact with the ice layer 11. The jet mechanism 5 starts to work to supply air to the outside of the air cushion module 2, simulating the driving state of the air cushion ship on the ice surface.

[0040] During the measurement process, the position and draft of the air cushion module 2 are adjusted by the displacement mechanism 3 to adapt to different experimental conditions. The first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 measure the friction force generated by the air cushion module 2 during running in real time. The collected data is recorded and processed in real time by the data acquisition system, and finally used to calculate the friction coefficient of the air cushion module 2 under different material air cushion layers 22.

[0041] After detecting the air cushion of one material, the air cushion layer 22 can be replaced with another material air cushion layer 22 and re-inflated to measure the friction coefficient of the air cushion module 2 on the ice surface. In this way, the influence of different materials of the air cushion on the friction coefficient can be systematically studied, and more accurate data support can be provided for the design and optimization of the air cushion ship.

[0042] The present application can simulate the real ice surface conditions in the polar or cold water area by setting the test box 1, the air cushion module 2, the displacement mechanism 3 and the measurement module 4. The test area in the test box 1 can simulate the real ice surface conditions in the polar or cold water area, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. The detachable and replaceable air cushion layer 22 design of the air cushion module 2 allows researchers to easily replace air cushion layers 22 of different materials or structures, perform friction coefficient measurements under various conditions, and greatly improve the efficiency and flexibility of optimization research. The displacement mechanism 3 can drive the air cushion module 2 to move accurately in the test area, thereby realizing dynamic measurement of the friction coefficient of the air cushion ice-breaking platform, and cooperating with the measurement module 4 to collect friction data of the air cushion module 2 in real time when moving, and performing accurate processing and analysis to obtain accurate friction coefficient values. The device can comprehensively and accurately measure the friction coefficient of the air cushion ice-breaking platform of different materials or structures under different conditions, thereby providing strong data support for the design and performance optimization of the air cushion ship.

[0043] By combining multiple air cushion layers 22 of different materials, the present application can simulate the influence of the ice layer 11 on the friction coefficient of the air cushion module 2 of different materials, thereby being closer to the actual application scenario. At the same time, the jet end of the jet mechanism 5 can be adjusted according to the position of the actual measurement surface to ensure the stability and accuracy of the gas supply. In addition, the gas injection port 222 and the pressure sensor 24 on each air cushion layer 22 are designed to allow the gas pressure in the air cushion layer 22 to be easily monitored and adjusted during the experiment, ensuring that the pressures of the layers are consistent, and further improving the reliability of the experimental results.
