Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine system monitoring technology, specifically to a monitoring system for complex three-dimensional attitude reconstruction of long underwater cables, applicable to real-time spatial three-dimensional attitude perception of ultra-thin long marine cables such as marine tow cables, underwater robot umbilical cables, and submarine cables. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of marine engineering in my country, long underwater cables have been widely used, including marine tow cables for exploration and signal acquisition, umbilical cables for connecting underwater robots, and offshore wind turbine cables. These long cables usually play an important role in collecting marine information and transmitting photoelectric signals. Under the excitation of ocean wave and current environment and dynamic boundary, they will exhibit complex three-dimensional spatial attitude. Accurately identifying the three-dimensional attitude of long cables, monitoring their working status, and avoiding entanglement or collision are of great significance for the normal operation of long cables.

[0003] In recent years, with the widespread application of marine pipelines and cables, their integrated monitoring systems have developed rapidly, and their online monitoring technology has become increasingly mature, with considerable successful application experience. Monitoring of marine flexible pipelines and cables mainly includes strain, Euler angles, acceleration, and pressure. Measurement technologies are divided into strain-based and motion-based methods, with strain-based sensors currently accounting for a large proportion. For traditional large-diameter marine flexible pipelines and cables, externally mounted clamps are often used to fix sensors to the cable surface to measure physical quantities at specific locations. However, the installation of these clamps affects the overall configuration of long, small-diameter cables. Therefore, fiber optic monitoring technology, with its advantages of long transmission distance, resistance to electromagnetic interference, stable performance, and small size, has been widely used in the marine pipeline and cable field. The reconstruction of complex three-dimensional cable shapes is essentially the reconstruction of three-dimensional curves, and the three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm affects the accuracy of position determination. Currently, three-dimensional curve reconstruction is mostly applied to short-distance, high-precision applications (typically less than 10m), mainly concentrated in medical surgical catheters. For shape measurement over distances at the kilometer level, its potential application is deformation monitoring of pipelines or submarine cables, but there are currently no mature monitoring methods or applications.

The signal processing system is used to synchronously receive various physical quantity signals from the monitoring system, preprocess the physical quantity signals, and then reconstruct the signal to obtain the spatial three-dimensional shape of the long cable.

[0006] Preferably, the physical quantity signal includes strain and Euler angles; The multi-sensor also includes a pressure sensor and an acceleration sensor; Preferably, the fiber optic strain sensor can transmit strain signals from each measuring point in real time, and is integrated into the cross-sectional structure of the long cable in a four-point symmetrical orthogonal manner, embedded in the outer cladding surface of the long cable functional unit; The fiber optic strain sensor is surrounded by an outer sheath that covers the surface of the long cable and is parallel to the central axis of the long cable. Several measuring points are arranged along the axial direction of the long cable using a multi-threaded arrangement strategy, and the spacing between the measuring points is determined according to the dimensions of the long cable and the working conditions.

[0008] Preferably, the number and location of the multi-element sensors are determined by the length of the cable, the complexity of the wave flow environment, and the local curvature.

[0009] Preferably, the signal processing system includes a signal synchronization receiving module, a preprocessing module, and a three-dimensional attitude reconstruction module; The signal synchronization receiving module is used to receive the real-time time history of multi-dimensional physical quantity signals from each measuring point.

[0010] Preferably, the signal processing system also includes a visualization module for visualizing the reconstructed three-dimensional pose.

[0011] Preferably, the MEMS attitude sensor is arranged at a density of 1 sensor for every 50 fiber optic measurement points.

[0012] According to the present invention, a monitoring method for a monitoring system for complex three-dimensional attitude reconstruction of underwater long cables is provided, the monitoring method comprising: Step 1: Integrate the multi-sensor system of the monitoring system into the long cable body according to the preset method, and complete the connection and deployment between the long cable body and the marine structure; Step 2: After the monitoring system is started, the multi-sensor starts to collect data.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] This invention comprises a long cable body, a monitoring system, and a signal processing system. The long cable body exhibits different three-dimensional attitudes in various marine engineering applications and in complex wave and current environments. The monitoring system includes multiple sensors such as fiber optic strain sensors and MEMS attitude sensors, integrated into the long cable structure, for monitoring physical quantities such as strain, Euler angle, acceleration, and depth at various locations on the long cable. The signal processing system synchronously receives the signals of various physical quantities from the monitoring system, and reconstructs the spatial three-dimensional shape of the long cable based on signals such as strain, Euler angle, acceleration, and depth, thereby realizing real-time perception of the spatial three-dimensional attitude of the long cable.

[0022] The present invention provides a monitoring system for complex three-dimensional attitude reconstruction of long underwater cables, comprising a long cable body, a monitoring system, and a signal processing system.

[0023] The long cable body exhibits different three-dimensional postures in various marine engineering applications and under complex wave and current environments. The long cable body is a slender cylindrical structure. The top of the long cable is connected to a marine structure, and the end is subject to free or weakly constrained boundary conditions. The long cable itself has low bending stiffness and is prone to large deformations under complex wave and current environments, exhibiting complex three-dimensional spatial postures.

[0024] The monitoring system includes multiple sensors such as fiber optic strain sensors and MEMS attitude sensors, which are integrated into the long cable structure using advanced manufacturing processes to monitor physical quantities such as strain and Euler angles at various locations on the long cable.

[0025] The fiber optic strain sensor can transmit strain signals from each measuring point in real time. It is integrated into the cross-sectional structure of the long cable in a four-point symmetrical orthogonal manner, embedded in the outer cladding surface of the long cable functional unit. The fiber optic strain sensor is surrounded by an outer sheath covering the surface of the long cable. The fiber optic strain sensor is parallel to the central axis of the long cable, and several measuring points are arranged along the cable's axial direction. A multi-threaded fiber optic arrangement strategy improves the fault tolerance and robustness of strain measurement, reduces the impact of local measuring point failures on remaining measuring points, and transmits strain signals from each measuring point in real time. The multi-threaded fiber optic arrangement strategy includes: the fiber optics are arranged in a four-point orthogonal symmetrical manner; the spacing between grating measuring points comprehensively considers attitude reconstruction speed and reconstruction accuracy; and the measuring point spacing is determined according to different cable lengths and specific operating conditions. For example, for kilometer-long catenary cables, due to their long size and relatively simple shape, the measuring point spacing is larger, approximately 1m. For hundred-meter-long ROV umbilical cables, due to the potential for more complex cable shapes as the boundary moves, the measuring point spacing is correspondingly reduced, approximately 0.3m.

[0026] The MEMS attitude sensor can transmit Euler angle signals at the corresponding position in real time. It is integrated into the outer sheath structure of the long cable, with several measuring points arranged along the cable's longitudinal axis, for example, one MEMS attitude sensor is arranged for every 50 fiber optic measuring points. The multi-element sensor may also include pressure sensors, acceleration sensors, etc., the specific type of which is usually selected by the user. The number and placement of the fiber optic strain sensor, acceleration sensor, and other multi-element micro-sensors are determined by the length of the long cable and the wave and current environment. If the wave and current environment is complex, it may result in a more complex cable shape, and the number of sensors should be increased accordingly. If the curvature of a section of the long cable is large, such as a long cable with a gentle wave, the number of sensors can be appropriately increased in certain areas. The fiber optic strain sensor is integrated into the cross-sectional structure of the long cable in a four-point symmetrical orthogonal manner, embedded in the outer cladding surface of the long cable's functional unit, while the acceleration sensor and other multi-element micro-sensors are embedded in the outer sheath of the long cable.

[0027] The signal processing system can synchronously receive various physical quantity signals from the monitoring system, preprocess the physical quantity signals, and then reconstruct the spatial three-dimensional shape of the long cable based on signals such as strain and Euler angles. The signal processing system includes a long cable spatial three-dimensional shape reconstruction algorithm and a visualization display of the reconstructed three-dimensional attitude, thereby achieving real-time perception of the long cable's spatial three-dimensional attitude. Specifically, it synchronously acquires and receives various physical quantity signals from the monitoring system, including the signal history from multiple sensors such as strain measurement points and Euler angle measurement points distributed along the long cable's axis. The preprocessing of each physical quantity signal involves filtering and extracting effective feature values. The long cable spatial three-dimensional shape reconstruction uses the preprocessed physical quantity signals and strain data at the measurement points to calculate the spatial curvature and torsion at each measurement point. Further combining this with multiple physical quantities such as Euler angles, it constrains the underwater long cable's spatial attitude, performing spatial three-dimensional shape calculation and correction to obtain a high-precision long cable spatial three-dimensional shape. The visualization of the long cable's three-dimensional shape displays the reconstruction result in a three-dimensional shape, achieving real-time perception and visualization of the three-dimensional state.

[0028] The number and location of the multi-sensor array in the monitoring system can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the long cable and its environment. The accuracy of the three-dimensional shape reconstruction result is closely related to the number and location of the sensor measurement points, and it is necessary to comprehensively consider the reconstruction accuracy requirements, the feasibility of the sensor array, and the economy.

[0029] Furthermore, the specific implementation of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: according to Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a monitoring system for reconstructing the complex three-dimensional attitude of an underwater long cable, comprising a long cable body, a monitoring system, and a signal processing system.

The fiber optic strain sensor 2 is integrated and installed along the cross-section of the long cable 1 in a four-point symmetrical orthogonal manner. The fiber optic strain sensor 2 is embedded in the outer sheath of the functional unit of the long cable 1. The outer sheath of the fiber optic strain sensor 2 is an outer sheath, which covers the surface of the long cable 1.

[0031] according to Figure 3 As shown, the monitoring system integrates multiple sensors 3, such as MEMS attitude sensors, into the cross-section of the long cable body 1, including but not limited to acceleration sensors, pressure sensors, tilt sensors, etc. The specific sensor type is usually selected by the user.

[0032] according to Figure 4 As shown, the fiber optic strain sensor 2 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the long cable 1. The fiber optic strain sensor 2 has strain measurement points spaced apart along the axial direction of the long cable 1. The multi-threaded fiber arrangement strategy improves the fault tolerance and robustness of strain measurement, reduces the impact of local measurement point failure on the remaining measurement points, and transmits the strain signals of each measurement point in real time.

[0033] according to Figure 5 As shown, the MEMS attitude sensor and other multi-element micro-sensors 3 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the long cable 1; the number and position of the fiber optic strain sensor 2, acceleration and other multi-element micro-sensors 3 in the monitoring system are determined by the length of the long cable 1 and the wave and current environment in which it is located.

[0034] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 The overall system shown has a long cable 1 exhibiting a three-dimensional attitude under complex excitation. Multiple sensors 3, such as fiber optic strain sensor 2 and MEMS attitude sensor, collect signals at each measuring point in real time. The signal processing system 4 processes the strain and multiple physical quantities in real time, and calculates the three-dimensional shape of the long cable in real time by combining the embedded spatial reconstruction algorithm, and realizes the visualization of the three-dimensional shape of the long cable.

[0035] The present invention aims to provide a monitoring system for reconstructing the three-dimensional attitude of long underwater cables in complex spaces, so as to realize the real-time perception of the spatial attitude of long underwater cables in complex wave and current environments, avoid collisions or entanglements of long cables, and ensure the normal operation of long cables.

[0046] Define three spatial vectors: tangent vector Normal vector binormal vector The three vectors have the following differential relationship:

[0047] Based on this differential relationship, the tangent direction at each measuring point can be obtained by iteratively calculating each point.
