Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of industrial waste gas treatment equipment, specifically a mobile industrial waste gas flare based on a biomimetic folding frame that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. Background Technology

[0002] As a key safety device used to safely burn industrial waste gas and prevent the accumulation of combustible gas from causing explosions or environmental pollution, the flare is an indispensable emergency response device in high-risk operation scenarios such as oil, chemical, and offshore platforms. Its rapid deployment capability and structural reliability are directly related to production safety and environmental compliance, and are a fundamental link to ensure the stable operation of industrial facilities. Currently, the mainstream flare structures in the industry are mainly divided into two categories: fixed ground flares and fixed elevated flares. Their core design is based on permanent installation. Fixed ground flares treat exhaust gas through ground burner groups, but they occupy a large area, have high site rigidity, and are easily affected by terrain and wind direction, resulting in uneven heat radiation or incomplete combustion. Fixed elevated flares improve the diffusion effect by erecting towers, but the tower structure is bulky, the foundation engineering is complex, and they require long-term site occupation, making them unsuitable for temporary operations or frequent relocation. In emergency scenarios, the long installation cycle and high cost of fixed flares severely restrict rapid response capabilities. In terms of structural design, although existing mobile torches attempt to achieve partial mobility through modular boxes or trailer-type chassis, most still rely on bolted connections or welding assembly. This requires specialized tools and multiple technicians to work together, and assembly takes several hours to several days. Moreover, after disassembly, the parts are scattered and require a large storage space. Under this method, the connection nodes are prone to fatigue damage due to repeated disassembly and assembly, resulting in decreased sealing or structural instability. At the same time, the rigid frame lacks adaptability and adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to quickly level and fix on irregular sites such as rugged terrain or offshore platform decks. Uneven foundations can easily cause flame tilting or backfire risks. With the increasing prevalence of scenarios such as oil and gas field exploration and development, temporary maintenance in chemical industrial parks, and emergency venting in marine engineering, there is a growing demand for mobile, rapidly deployable, and highly adaptable flares. These scenarios require flare equipment to be quickly transported with the work team and assembled and put into operation within hours, while maintaining combustion stability and structural safety under different environmental conditions. Existing mobile flares have low assembly efficiency and rely on manual operation. With the aid of heavy machinery, it cannot meet the time requirements of sudden release events; and the structure is too rigid and lacks folding or telescopic mechanisms, resulting in large transport volume and poor site adaptability. If stability is sacrificed by simplifying the structure, it will increase the operational risk. In summary, existing venting flares, in their efforts to achieve permanent design and mobility improvements, have struggled to balance the contradictions between rapid assembly, lightweight structure, and safety and reliability. There is an urgent need to break through the fixed structural mindset and cumbersome assembly processes, and to develop a mobile venting flare structure based on a biomimetic folding frame that combines rapid assembly and disassembly, mobility, and stable combustion characteristics. This would fill the technological gap in efficient and safe waste gas treatment in emergency scenarios and enhance the flexibility of industrial safety and environmental management. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a mobile industrial waste gas flare structure that is compact, quick to deploy, easy to assemble, and capable of mobile deployment.

[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A mobile industrial waste gas flare based on a biomimetic folding skeleton that can be quickly assembled and disassembled includes a mobile base, a biomimetic folding skeleton module, an integrated pipeline module, a hydraulic drive module, and an intelligent control module for coordinating and controlling the various systems. Furthermore, the mobile base includes a support chassis, a heavy-duty tire assembly, and hydraulic leveling legs; the support chassis is rigidly connected to the bionic folding skeleton module via a quick-connect flange; the surface of the support chassis is also provided with an annular positioning groove, and the support chassis cooperates with the positioning boss at the bottom of the bionic folding skeleton module; the heavy-duty tire assembly is located on both sides of the support chassis; the hydraulic leveling legs are distributed at the four corners of the support chassis, and high-precision displacement sensors are installed at the bottom of the hydraulic leveling legs, together forming an automatic leveling system; Preferably, the biomimetic folding skeleton module includes multiple tower units, biomimetic hinge nodes, and a self-locking hinge mechanism; the biomimetic hinge nodes are located between two adjacent tower units, used to achieve connection and relative rotation of each tower segment; the self-locking hinge mechanism is disposed within the biomimetic hinge nodes. The unit includes a self-locking mechanism and a buffer device; the self-locking mechanism mimics the folding mechanism of biological joints and is set along the hinge axis to enable rapid unfolding and folding of the tower unit; the buffer device is set on the side of the hinge axis to provide damping during the unfolding and folding of the tower unit driven by the self-locking mechanism. Preferably, the integrated pipeline module is built into the biomimetic folding skeleton module, and adopts a spiral winding flexible connection structure at the hinge node. The elastic deformation of the spiral winding flexible connection structure absorbs the displacement of movement and is used to adapt to the unfolding and folding movement of the skeleton. The integrated pipeline module includes a main exhaust gas conveying pipeline, an auxiliary fuel pipeline, an ignition cable, and sensor lines. The main exhaust gas conveying pipeline is arranged along the central axis of the skeleton, forming the main conveying channel of the exhaust gas conveying pipeline. The auxiliary fuel pipeline and the ignition cable are arranged in parallel on both sides of the main exhaust gas conveying pipeline, forming an energy supply unit. The sensor lines are set in the preset wire groove on the inner wall of the tower unit to provide accurate sensing data for the intelligent control module. Preferably, the hydraulic drive module corresponds to and is linked with each hinge node of the bionic folding skeleton module. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder drives the hinge nodes to rotate, thereby performing the unfolding and folding actions of the bionic folding skeleton. The hydraulic drive module includes a hydraulic pump station, hydraulic cylinders, and a control valve group. The hydraulic pump station is fixed to the bottom of the bionic folding skeleton, serving as the power source for the bionic folding skeleton and providing stable pressure oil to the hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hydraulic drive module, with the upper end of the cylinder body hinged to the base of the last tower unit. The lower end of the hydraulic cylinder is linked to the upper hinge node of the support base and the high-pressure oil pipe of the hydraulic pump station to convert the hydraulic pressure into mechanical torque to drive the unfolding and folding of the bionic folding skeleton. The control valve group is centrally located at the output end of the hydraulic pump station, adjusting the flow rate and direction of the hydraulic oil to each hydraulic cylinder according to control commands, thereby adjusting the unfolding and folding posture of the bionic folding skeleton in real time.

[0005] This invention solves the problems of cumbersome assembly and poor mobility of existing industrial waste gas flares by using a biomimetic folding skeleton-based, rapidly assembled, disassembled, and mobile flare. It utilizes a collaborative mechanism comprised of a biomimetic folding skeleton module, a hydraulic drive module, an intelligent control module, and an integrated pipeline module to achieve one-click rapid deployment and retraction of the flare structure. The spatial folding and rigid deployment of the structure are achieved through multi-segment tower units and biomimetic hinge nodes in the biomimetic folding skeleton module. The distributed hydraulic cylinders and control valve groups in the hydraulic drive module enable synchronous driving and motion attitude control of the multi-stage tower units. Real-time motion planning and dynamic adjustment are achieved through sensor feedback and closed-loop algorithms in the intelligent control module. Combined with the flexible connections in the integrated pipeline module and the mechanical locking function of the self-locking hinge mechanism, a collaborative mechanism for structural transformation and stable operation is formed. This eliminates the limitations of traditional fixed flares in adapting to temporary operation scenarios and improves emergency response efficiency and deployment reliability.

[0010] The following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided in detail.

[0011] Example 1

[0012] Please see Figures 1-2This embodiment provides a rapidly assembled and disassembled mobile industrial waste gas flare based on a biomimetic folding skeleton, including a mobile base, a biomimetic folding skeleton module, an integrated pipeline module, a hydraulic drive module, and an intelligent control module. The mobile base includes a support chassis, heavy-duty tires, and hydraulically leveling legs. The support chassis is rigidly connected to the bottom of the biomimetic folding skeleton module via quick-connect flanges. The biomimetic folding skeleton module is composed of multiple tower units connected by biomimetic hinge nodes, with the flare burner installed at the end of the uppermost tower unit. The integrated pipeline module is built into the tower unit and includes a main waste gas delivery pipeline, auxiliary fuel pipeline, etc. The hydraulic drive module provides power for the skeleton to unfold and fold. The intelligent control module coordinates the operation of all systems. This embodiment solves the problems of traditional flares being large in transport volume, having low deployment efficiency, and being unable to respond quickly to emergency scenarios by using a mobile industrial waste gas venting flare that includes a mobile base, a biomimetic folding skeleton module, an integrated pipeline module, a hydraulic drive module, and an intelligent control module. It enables the equipment to switch from transport state to working state with one click and to operate stably and reliably. The mobile base's supporting chassis adopts a box-type welded structure with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs inside, increasing its torsional strength by more than 2.5 times compared to a traditional box-type welded chassis of the same size. The upper surface of the supporting chassis is machined with an annular positioning groove, which, along with the positioning boss at the bottom of the bionic folding skeleton module, uses an H7 / g6 tolerance to ensure precise connection. The heavy-duty tire assembly is equipped with a dual-chamber brake chamber, with a response time of less than 0.5 seconds, enabling independent and reliable control of driving and parking brakes. The hydraulic leveling outriggers have ball-joint support pads at their ends, and high-precision displacement sensors mounted on the outside of their cylinders communicate in real-time with the leveling module of the intelligent control module, enabling the chassis to complete three-dimensional posture modeling and automatic leveling within 120 seconds. This embodiment addresses the problem of structural deformation in complex road conditions caused by traditional chassis through the box-shaped welded structure and internal reinforcing ribs of the supporting chassis, improving torsional strength and making the overall structure of the equipment more stable. The H7 / g6 tolerance fit between the annular positioning groove and the positioning boss solves the positioning accuracy problem during rapid docking of the upper frame and chassis, achieving precise alignment and rigid connection. The dual-chamber brake chamber of the heavy-duty tire group solves the hidden dangers of slow braking response and insufficient safety in heavy vehicles, ensuring a response time of less than 0.5 seconds and enabling independent and reliable control of driving and parking brakes. The ball joint support pads and high-precision displacement sensors at the ends of the hydraulic leveling outriggers solve the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy in chassis leveling under complex site conditions, enabling posture modeling and automatic leveling to be completed within 120 seconds, providing a stable operating foundation for the upper structure. Preferably, the self-locking hinge mechanism of the bionic folding skeleton module mimics the mechanical characteristics of the human knee joint; its hinge shaft uses a self-lubricating bearing with a friction coefficient of less than 0.08, and is combined with a spring assembly with a preload adjustable range of 200-500N to simulate the elastic constraint of the joint capsule; under hydraulic drive, the tower unit completes the 0-180° unfolding and folding action within 25-35 seconds; when unfolded to the preset working position, the self-locking assembly automatically engages the locking hole under the action of the spring pin, forming a rigid positioning, so that the overall structure can resist wind loads of not less than 30m / s; during the folding process, the magnetorheological damper built into the buffer assembly can steplessly adjust the damping force within the range of 10-1000N·s / m according to the speed feedback, ensuring smooth and impact-free operation; Specifically, the self-lubricating bearing and adjustable preload spring assembly of the self-locking hinge mechanism solve the problems of high friction loss and movement sluggishness in high-load hinge parts, enabling the mechanism to complete smooth and sluggish unfolding and folding actions from 0 to 180° within 25-35 seconds; the self-locking assembly composed of spring pins solves the problem of insufficient structural stability in the unfolded state, enabling the overall structure to withstand wind loads of not less than 30 m / s; and the magnetorheological damper configured in the buffer assembly solves the problem of impact vibration during folding, enabling stepless adjustment of the damping force within the range of 10-1000 N·s / m based on speed feedback, ensuring smooth and impact-free operation. Preferably, the integrated pipeline module adopts a flexible connection structure at the tower unit hinge node, which is composed of stainless steel corrugated pipe and precision rotary joint. Its bending angle adaptability range is 0-180°, the rotation angle range is 0-360°, and the pressure resistance rating is not less than 2.5MPa. The main exhaust gas transmission pipeline is made of 316L stainless steel and is connected to the external gas source through a quick-connect interface with metal graphite wound gasket. The auxiliary fuel pipeline is equipped with a pilot-operated pressure regulating valve, an electromagnetic shut-off valve with a response time of <2 seconds, and a vortex flow meter with an accuracy of ±1% along its length, forming a safety interlock barrier. All electrical wiring connection points use IP67-rated anti-loosening sealing joints. Specifically, the flexible connection structure combining the stainless steel corrugated pipe and precision rotary joint solves the problem of pipelines being unable to adapt to large-scale deformation during the folding and unfolding of the tower unit, achieving flexible movement with bending angles of 0-180° and rotation angles of 0-360° while maintaining a pressure resistance reliability of not less than 2.5MPa; the 316L stainless steel exhaust gas conveying main pipeline and its quick-connect interface with metal graphite wound gasket solve the problems of poor pipeline sealing and low connection efficiency, achieving rapid and sealed connection with external gas sources and ensuring the corrosion resistance and airtightness of the exhaust gas conveying channel; the pressure regulating valve, electromagnetic shut-off valve, and vortex flow meter installed along the auxiliary fuel pipeline solve the safety hazards of fuel supply pressure fluctuations and untimely emergency shut-off, forming a complete safety interlock barrier, achieving precise pressure regulation, millisecond-level rapid shut-off, and accurate flow monitoring; and the use of IP67-rated anti-loosening sealing joints at all electrical wiring connection points solves the problem of signal interruption caused by loose connectors and water leakage in harsh outdoor environments, ensuring stable electrical connections even in humid and vibrating environments. Preferably, the hydraulic drive module corresponds to and is linked with each hinge node of the bionic folding skeleton module. The hinge nodes are driven to rotate by the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hydraulic drive module, with a cylinder diameter of 63mm, a rod diameter of 45mm, and a system rated working pressure of 21MPa. The hydraulic pump station is equipped with a variable displacement piston pump, which can automatically adjust the output flow according to the load requirements. The control valve group integrates a solenoid directional valve and an electro-hydraulic proportional flow valve, which are controlled by the intelligent control module to realize the synchronous or sequential operation of each tower unit. Specifically, by symmetrically arranging hydraulic cylinders on both sides of the hydraulic drive module, the problem of eccentric torque generated by traditional single-sided drive is solved, achieving bidirectional balanced drive of the hinge nodes and effectively improving the stability of structural movement. The use of hydraulic cylinders with a 63mm diameter and 45mm rod diameter, coupled with a system design of 21MPa rated working pressure, solves the problem of insufficient driving force required for the deployment of large-span frame units, ensuring the system can provide sufficient push-pull force to overcome the structure's own weight and external loads. The variable displacement piston pump in the hydraulic pump station solves the energy waste problem of constant flow systems under no-load and light-load conditions, automatically adjusting the output flow according to actual load requirements to achieve energy-saving and consumption-reducing operation. The integrated electromagnetic directional valve and electro-hydraulic proportional flow valve in the control valve group, coordinated by the intelligent control module, solves the control accuracy problem when multiple actuators coordinate their movements, achieving millimeter-level precision synchronous action of each tower unit, making the bionic folding frame more stable during deployment and folding. Preferably, the central controller of the intelligent control module has a one-button unfolding and folding function, and can monitor parameters including hinge node angle, pipeline pressure, fuel flow, and flare burner status in real time; when abnormalities such as excessive outrigger settlement, pipeline leakage, or excessive wind force are detected, the system can trigger an emergency shutdown procedure within 100 milliseconds and record fault data. This embodiment is applied to the emergency treatment of sudden organic waste gas in a chemical industrial park. The waste gas is a mixture of VOCs containing benzene series compounds. The designed treatment capacity is 5000 Nm³ / h, and the calorific value is about 1500 kcal / Nm³. The equipment is required to be deployed and put into operation within 15 minutes after arriving at the site. The initial state is that the equipment is in road transport mode, the bionic folding frame is completely folded, and all systems are powered off. The equipment implementation process specifically includes: After the equipment is transported to the designated work site, the operator inputs preset work parameters through the human-machine interface of the intelligent control module: the load-bearing chassis level threshold ≤ 0.5°, the tower unit unfolding working angle 175°, and the flare burner target height 18.5 meters; after receiving the instruction, the intelligent control module automatically activates the automatic leveling system of the mobile base, the four corner hydraulic leveling outriggers extend, the high-precision displacement sensor collects data in real time, the central controller builds a three-dimensional posture model and completes leveling within 90 seconds, and at the same time triggers the parking brake of the heavy tire group; After the mobile base is leveled and stabilized, the operator triggers a one-button unfolding command; the central controller of the intelligent control module sends a signal to the control valve group of the hydraulic drive module, the hydraulic pump station starts (pressure set at 18MPa), the solenoid directional valve switches to the extension position, and the proportional flow valve controls the flow according to the preset curve; the distributed hydraulic cylinders move synchronously, the piston rods extend, driving each hinge node to rotate around the hinge axis, and the tower unit begins to unfold from the folded state. During the deployment of each tower unit, the intelligent control module monitors the deployment angle and speed in real time through absolute encoders installed at each hinge node. When the angle reaches 160°, the magnetorheological damper of the buffer component begins to increase the damping force, reducing the end speed to 30% of the initial value. When the angle reaches the 175° working position, the spring latch of the self-locking component automatically engages the locking hole within 50ms. After successful locking, feedback is sent to the intelligent control module and the positioning indicator light is illuminated. At this time, the intelligent control module confirms that all nodes are locked in place, and the torch burner synchronously reaches the preset working height of 18.5 meters. After the bionic folding skeleton unfolds and is in place, the intelligent control module automatically starts the integrated pipeline module status self-check program; the pressure sensor confirms the sealing of the main exhaust gas pipeline (pressure holding test 0.5MPa, pressure drop <0.01MPa / min), the auxiliary fuel pipeline pressure regulating valve stabilizes the fuel pressure at 0.4MPa, the electromagnetic shut-off valve opens, and the vortex flow meter reading is stable; at the same time, the flexible connection at each hinge node is checked to confirm that there is no twisting or stretching; the ignition cable circuit resistance test passes (<1Ω), and the sensor signal transmission is normal; After the integrated pipeline module is confirmed to be functioning normally, the intelligent control module automatically starts the flare system according to the preset program. The main exhaust gas pipeline of the integrated pipeline module delivers industrial exhaust gas to the flare burner located at the end of the uppermost tower unit. At the same time, the auxiliary fuel pipeline of the integrated pipeline module supplies fuel according to the instructions of the intelligent control module. The ignition cable transmits the ignition control signal and successfully triggers the ignition action of the flare burner. Subsequently, the exhaust gas and fuel mix at the head of the flare burner and achieve stable combustion. The monitoring data transmitted back in real time by the sensor circuit shows that the combustion temperature is maintained within the required range. The pressure regulating valve on the auxiliary fuel pipeline works in conjunction with the vortex flow meter to ensure the stability of the combustion process parameters. After 6 hours of emergency combustion treatment, the exhaust gas source was cut off. The operator triggered a folding command, and the intelligent control module first sent an unlocking signal to each locking hinge mechanism, causing the spring pin of the self-locking component to disengage from the locking hole. Subsequently, the control valve group of the hydraulic drive module switched directions, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder retracted according to a preset program, driving the hinge node to rotate in the opposite direction. During this process, the buffer component dynamically adjusted the damping force according to the real-time speed to ensure that each tower unit was stacked and retracted smoothly and synchronously. When the bionic folding skeleton module was completely folded into the transport state, the flare burner at the end of the uppermost tower unit was then retracted into a special protective cover next to the base. The hydraulic drive module switched to a pressure-holding state to prevent the skeleton from accidentally unfolding. Next, the four corner hydraulic leveling outriggers of the moving base retracted and reset, and the parking brake of the heavy-duty tire group was released. Finally, the intelligent control module automatically generated a report of this operation (including running time, processed gas volume, and system status log), and the equipment was completely converted to road transport mode, ready for the next emergency deployment. This embodiment successfully completed emergency deployment and put into operation within 14 minutes and 30 seconds. The entire process was highly automated, structurally stable, and without any leakage or jamming, significantly improving the response efficiency and handling capabilities for sudden environmental events.

[0013] Example 2

[0014] This embodiment is applied to the intermittent associated gas treatment during the trial production of an offshore oil and gas field drilling platform. The exhaust gas is natural gas rich in methane and a small amount of heavy hydrocarbons. The designed processing capacity is 8000 Nm³ / h, with a calorific value of approximately 9000 kcal / Nm³. The equipment must be rapidly deployed within a confined deck space and withstand the high humidity, salt spray corrosion, and gusts of wind in a marine environment. Initially, the equipment is transported to the platform by a supply vessel and placed in the designated work area, with its biomimetic folding frame fully folded. The process includes the following steps: S1. After the equipment is positioned on the drilling platform deck, the operator inputs preset operating parameters through the human-machine interface of the intelligent control module: the load-bearing chassis level threshold ≤ 0.3°, the tower unit unfolding working angle 172°, and the flare burner target height 22 meters. After receiving the command, the intelligent control module automatically activates the automatic leveling system of the mobile base. The four corner hydraulic leveling outriggers extend under the protection of the anti-corrosion coating. The high-precision displacement sensor compensates for the slight movement of the deck in real time. The central controller completes high-precision leveling within 100 seconds and triggers the parking brake of the heavy tire group and the additional securing device. S2, after the deck is leveled and secured, the operator triggers a one-button deployment command; the central controller of the intelligent control module sends a signal to the control valve group of the hydraulic drive module, the hydraulic pump station starts (pressure set at 20MPa to cope with potential wind load), the electromagnetic reversing valve switches to the extension position, and the proportional flow valve uses a smoother preset curve to control the flow to enhance stability; the distributed hydraulic cylinders move synchronously, the piston rods extend slowly, driving each hinge node to rotate around the self-lubricating bearing with excellent salt spray resistance, and the tower unit is smoothly deployed in the gusty wind environment; S3, during the deployment of each tower unit, the intelligent control module monitors the deployment angle and speed in real time through a high-protection-level (IP68) absolute encoder and integrates anemometer data; when the real-time wind speed exceeds 15m / s, the system automatically pauses the deployment action; when the angle reaches 165°, the magnetorheological damper of the buffer component significantly increases the damping force to resist the swaying caused by wind load; when the angle reaches the 172° working position, the spring pin of the self-locking component reliably engages with the locking hole in strong wind conditions, and the locking signal is fed back to the control system; at this time, the intelligent control module confirms that all nodes are locked in place, and the flare burner synchronously reaches the preset safe combustion height of 22 meters; S4. After the bionic folding skeleton unfolds and is in place, the intelligent control module automatically starts the integrated pipeline module status self-check program, focusing on checking the sealing and corrosion protection in the marine environment; the pressure sensor confirms the sealing of the main exhaust gas pipeline (pressure holding test 0.6MPa, pressure drop <0.005MPa / min), the auxiliary fuel pipeline pressure regulating valve stabilizes the fuel pressure at 0.5MPa, and the vortex flow meter reading is stable; special checks are made on the integrity of the flexible connection structure at the hinge node, confirming that the bellows has no signs of salt spray corrosion and the rotary joint rotates flexibly; S5, after the integrated pipeline module is confirmed to be normal, the intelligent control module automatically starts the flare system according to the preset program; the main exhaust gas pipeline of the integrated pipeline module delivers the associated gas generated by the drilling platform trial production to the flare burner, and the auxiliary fuel pipeline supplies auxiliary fuel according to the instructions to ensure ignition reliability under severe weather conditions; the ignition cable successfully triggers the high-energy ignition device of the flare burner to form a stable flame; the real-time transmission of combustion temperature, pipeline pressure and ambient wind speed data from the sensor lines ensures that the combustion process is always under control in the marine environment; S6, after 12 hours of trial production, the operation was paused and the associated gas source was cut off. The operator triggered a folding command. After confirming that the flame of the flare burner was completely extinguished, the intelligent control module first sent an unlocking signal to each locking hinge mechanism, causing the spring pin of the self-locking component to disengage from the locking hole. Subsequently, the control valve group of the hydraulic drive module switched directions, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder retracted according to the preset program, driving the hinge node to rotate in the opposite direction. During this process, the buffer component dynamically adjusted the damping force according to the real-time speed to effectively counteract the impact of deck swaying and ensure that each tower unit was stacked and retracted smoothly and accurately. When the bionic folding skeleton module was completely folded into the storage state, the flare burner at the end of the uppermost tower unit was then retracted into the special protective cover. The hydraulic drive module switched to the pressure holding state to prevent the skeleton from being accidentally unfolded. Then, the four corner hydraulic leveling legs of the moving base retracted and reset, and the parking brake of the heavy tire group was released. Finally, the intelligent control module automatically generated an operation report, recording in detail the running time, gas volume processed, system status log, and marine environmental adaptability data. The equipment was completely converted into a compact deck storage mode, ready for subsequent operation tasks. In this embodiment, the equipment was safely deployed and put into operation within 18 minutes in a complex marine platform environment. It demonstrated good wind resistance and stability throughout the process, and all systems operated normally in a high salt spray environment. This effectively solved the problem of safe combustion of associated gas during offshore oil and gas field trial production, proving the equipment's excellent environmental adaptability and reliability.
