TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of underwater structure detection, and provides an underwater micro-electric field detection device using a rotating electrode. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increase of the service time of underwater structures, the anticorrosive coating on the surface of the underwater structures often suffers local damage or even peeling off. The damaged or peeled-off part of the coating forms a galvanic cell reaction in seawater, which makes the damaged and peeled-off part corrode more severely, thereby affecting the use safety of the underwater structures and the ecological environment of the water body. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the underwater electric field distribution law under the corrosion state of the underwater structures and detect the electric field intensity of the damaged or peeled-off position of the anticorrosive coating. The prior art CN108375625A discloses a jacket corrosion detection equipment and method without magnetic field interference, which comprises a control and data real-time interaction system, a release and recovery system, a umbilical cable and a jacket corrosion detection crawling robot. The jacket corrosion detection crawling robot is used for detecting the corrosion condition of the splash zone and the underwater area of the jacket. The control and data real-time interaction system is used for real-time control of the robot, analysis and storage of the measurement data detected by the corrosion detection unit and power supply for the jacket corrosion detection crawling robot. The release and recovery system is used for deploying and recovering the robot. The prior art uses the crawling robot to adhere to the underwater structure to be detected to detect the corrosion condition. However, the pipe diameter and the surface condition of the underwater structure are mostly unable to adhere to the crawling robot. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide an underwater micro-electric field detection device using a rotating electrode for unmanned detection of the corrosion electric field around the underwater structure, to evaluate the corrosion condition of the underwater structure and to indicate the corrosion position of the underwater structure. Secondly, the detection range of the corrosion electric field of the underwater structure is expanded, and the detection efficiency and detection accuracy of the electric potential point of the underwater structure are improved. The electric field of different components can be measured, and the underwater structure different from the traditional underwater pile foundation, such as the generator transmission cable, can be measured.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides an underwater micro-electric field detection device using a rotating electrode. As preferred, the present application comprises a 3-axis underwater hydraulic rotating holder, a rotating electrode, an underwater hydraulic rotating module motor, a turbidimeter, a thermometer, an attitude sensor, a protective frame, a pressure-resistant shell, a pressure-resistant end cover, a contact slip ring, an underwater rotating motor driver, an underwater hydraulic motor rotation encoder, a motor control and communication module, a micro-electrode signal conditioning circuit board, a hydraulic control valve island, a data acquisition and communication circuit board, a battery pack, a circuit board support, a communication interface, a control interface, a hydraulic interface.

[0005] As preferred, the driving modes of the application all adopt hydraulic driving and increase electromagnetic shielding structure. The driving modes of the rotating electrode and the three-axis underwater hydraulic rotating platform all adopt hydraulic driving, and the pressure-resistant shell, pressure-resistant end cover, water-permeable shell, protective frame, electronic warehouse support, etc. all adopt non-magnetic materials, and the micro-electrode signal conditioning circuit board, hydraulic control valve island, data acquisition and communication circuit board, battery pack, etc. all adopt electromagnetic shielding metal mesh film coating treatment to reduce the interference of electromagnetic leakage of electromagnetic elements and electronic elements on micro-electric field measurement. Among them, the electromagnetic shielding metal mesh film is composed of copper wire fibers, and the surface is sprayed with an electromagnetic shielding coating layer. Since the underwater micro-electric field has very low frequency, it can be considered as a static electric field. The electromagnetic shielding metal mesh film is mainly used to shield low-frequency electromagnetic noise below 1 Hz.

[0006] As preferred, the rotating electrode comprises Ag-AgCl, a water-permeable shell, a signal transmission slip ring, a plastic base plate, and a waterproof cable. The Ag-AgCl electrode is bonded to the plastic base plate and arranged symmetrically. The plastic base plate is installed in the water-permeable shell, and the signal transmission slip ring is connected to the electrode through the waterproof cable. The water-permeable shell is designed with a tight threaded hole, and the tight bolt contacts the output shaft through the tight threaded hole to realize friction limiting function. To realize high spatial resolution multi-directional electric field vector detection, the electrode adopts a multi-electrode pair with a small electrode distance and a water-permeable material packaging technology. At the same time, the water-permeable shell and the electrode have a spacing that can allow the first protective shell to vibrate and absorb the impact impact received by the first protective shell, avoid vibration and impact causing the sheet-shaped electrode to vibrate and surface wear, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the sheet-shaped electrode and the measurement stability of the rotating electrode.

[0007] As preferred, to realize three-component electric field measurement, a rotating electrode measurement mode is adopted. The position of the Ag-AgCl electrode is changed by driving the rotating motor, and different electric field components are measured at different angles to obtain underwater three-component electric field signals, which is beneficial to fully detect the electric field vector signals of each potential point, improve the accuracy of the measurement potential point, and more clearly feedback the overall situation of the underwater structure electric field.

[0008] As preferred, in order to reduce the disturbance of the attitude change of the unmanned underwater vehicle on the underwater micro electric field measurement, a three-axis underwater hydraulic rotary platform is used to adjust the attitude of the rotating electrode. The three-axis underwater hydraulic rotary platform comprises a pitch attitude rotation module, a horizontal attitude rotation module, a roll attitude rotation module and a rotary platform hydraulic interface, wherein the pitch attitude rotation module has a connection ROV frame docking interface and a horizontal attitude rotation module docking interface. The horizontal attitude rotation module has a docking interface connected to the pitch attitude rotation module and a roll attitude rotation module docking interface. The roll attitude rotation module has a docking interface connected to the horizontal attitude rotation module and a docking interface connected to the pressure hull. The rotary platform hydraulic interface is connected with the hydraulic interface to provide high-pressure oil liquid for driving the three-axis underwater hydraulic rotary platform. At the same time, the attitude signal measured by the attitude sensor is used as feedback to drive and control the three-axis underwater hydraulic rotary platform to realize the function of attitude adjustment through three-axis linkage.

[0009] As preferred, when the hydraulic rotary module drives the rotating electrode to rotate, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the attitude of the rotating electrode and reduce the influence of impact and acceleration on the micro electric field measurement. The hydraulic control and communication module controls the internal pressure fluctuation of the hydraulic motor through a fuzzy control algorithm, controls the hydraulic drive valve island actuation, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the driving pressure in the hydraulic motor, and reducing the angular acceleration and impact degree of the hydraulic rotary module.

[0010] As preferred, an underwater micro electric field detection device using a rotating electrode further comprises environmental information sensing and electric field correction. The environmental sensing sensor includes but is not limited to a thermometer and a turbidimeter. Since the underwater electric field measurement accuracy is easily affected by the temperature and turbidity of the water body, the above-mentioned sensors are used to measure the above-mentioned indexes of the potential point, and the electric field potential obtained by the detection of the potential point is corrected.

[0011] The purpose of the present application is to provide an unmanned underwater vehicle with a device for detecting the micro electric field around the underwater structure, to evaluate the corrosion condition of the underwater structure and indicate the corrosion position of the underwater structure; to expand the detection range of the corrosion electric field of the underwater structure, to improve the detection efficiency and accuracy of the potential point of the underwater structure; to measure three-component vector electric field information through the rotating electrode, and to have the following beneficial effects. Compared with the traditional operation of diving professionals, multiple measurements of multiple discrete potential points, the device can continuously measure high-density nearly continuous potential points, can greatly improve the detection efficiency and save labor cost, and the multi-mode detection can adapt to different underwater structures. The protective shell with a grid structure enables the water to enter the pores of the protective shell and contact each sensor to obtain more accurate temperature and turbidity indexes, and improve the accuracy of the electric field potential obtained by the detection of the potential point.
