Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine monitoring technology, and in particular to a marine internal wave monitoring and early warning device for offshore oil and gas platforms. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore oil and gas platforms require long-term monitoring of marine hydrological elements in the waters near the in-situ oil platform, including ocean current profile data from the sea surface to the seabed, as well as environmental factors such as seabed temperature, salinity, and depth. Current technologies, such as fixed or buoy-based observation platforms, typically use equipment like ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) and CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) sensors to collect data on ocean currents, temperature, and salinity. However, these methods are relatively outdated, mainly due to the following limitations: Single-point observation buoys: anchored to the sea surface and equipped with sensors for data acquisition, but with limited monitoring range; Submersible mooring systems: connecting surface buoys to underwater observation equipment via cables for layered observation, but data transmission relies on acoustic or wired links, resulting in poor real-time performance; Satellite remote sensing technology: used for large-scale marine environmental monitoring, but with low spatial resolution, unable to acquire near-bottom or profile data. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: 1. This invention, redesigned, achieves efficient seabed environmental data monitoring, efficient data transmission, and more detailed marine data monitoring functions. It utilizes a comprehensive seabed observation platform installed on the seabed, which collects relevant seabed data using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (I), a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) instrument, and an acoustic Doppler current profiler (II). This data includes: ocean current profiles from the sea surface to the seabed, seabed temperature, salinity, and depth data, and high-resolution ocean current profiles of the seabed. A floating communication buoy is then deployed on the seabed to receive the data collected by the comprehensive seabed observation platform. The sea surface communication buoy is connected and transmits data via a plastic-coated steel cable.

[0015] 2. This invention reduces mechanical wear caused by the rotation of the mechanical rotating rings 1 and 2 at both ends of the PVC-coated steel cable by adding two sets of resistance mechanisms to the seabed integrated observation platform and the sea surface communication buoy. Simultaneously, since the resistance mechanisms only reduce the rotational speed of the PVC-coated steel cable, the torque on the cable itself is also controlled within a reasonable range, effectively extending the service life of the device. To achieve this, the device of this invention fixes the fixing rings to the seabed integrated observation platform and the sea surface communication buoy as a support platform. The PVC-coated steel cable provides support for the rubber cylinder, connecting cylinder, and receiving column. The connecting cylinder provides a buffer connection between the PVC-coated steel cable and the connecting cylinder. When the PVC-coated steel cable drives the receiving column to rotate, a limit block is set to cause the rotating wheel to move to the protruding position on the surface of the limit block and compress the spring inward, generating radial resistance of the PVC-coated steel cable and increasing the resistance during rotation. This offsets part of the rotational torque generated by the PVC-coated steel cable with the seawater flow, thereby reducing the mechanical wear caused by the PVC-coated steel cable driving the mechanical rotating ring 1 during rotation.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, an ocean internal wave monitoring and early warning device for offshore oil and gas platforms is provided, which is used to transmit data with a shore-based data center. In this embodiment, as... Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the device includes: The seabed integrated observation platform 1 includes a base 10 installed on the seabed. A seabed main frame 11 is installed on the top of the base 10. An acoustic Doppler current profiler 12 is installed on the left side of the seabed main frame 11.

The acoustic Doppler current profiler 12, the CTD 14, and the acoustic Doppler current profiler 2 15 are all electrically connected to the underwater data acquisition compartment 16. A mechanical rotating ring 17 is installed at the bottom of the bracket 19.

[0021] The sea surface communication buoy 3 includes a buoyancy disc 32 floating on the sea surface and a sea surface main frame 30. A connecting column 31 is installed on the top of the sea surface main frame 30, and the connecting column 31 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy disc 32. A 4G communication main control cabin 33 is installed on the top of the buoyancy disc 32. A mechanical rotating ring 34 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the sea surface main frame 30. A battery compartment 35 and a sea surface coupling communication compartment 36 are installed on the inner wall of the sea surface main frame 30, and the sea surface coupling communication compartment 36 is electrically connected to the 4G communication main control cabin 33.

[0022] The bottom of the mechanical rotating ring 2 34 is fixedly connected to a plastic-coated steel cable 2. The plastic-coated steel cable 2 passes downward through the sea surface coupling communication compartment 36, and the bottom end of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 passes downward through the underwater coupling communication compartment 18 and is fixedly connected to the top of the mechanical rotating ring 17.

[0023] The device of this invention has been redesigned to achieve efficient seabed environmental data monitoring, efficient data transmission, and more detailed marine data monitoring functions. It utilizes a seabed integrated observation platform 1 installed on the seabed, which collects relevant seabed data via an acoustic Doppler current profiler 12, a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) meter 14, and an acoustic Doppler current profiler 25. This data includes: ocean current profile data from the sea surface to the seabed, seabed water temperature, salinity, and depth data, and high-resolution ocean current profile data from the seabed. A floating sea surface communication buoy 3 is then deployed on the seabed to receive the data collected by the seabed integrated observation platform 1. The seabed integrated observation platform 1 and the sea surface communication buoy... The signal buoy 3 is connected and transmits data via a plastic-coated steel cable 2. An underwater data acquisition cabin 16 transmits data collected by the seabed integrated observation platform 1 to an underwater coupling communication cabin 18. The data is then transmitted via inductive coupling through the plastic-coated steel cable 2 to a surface coupling communication cabin 36 and a battery cabin 35. Mechanical rotating rings 34 and 17 connect both ends of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 to the seawater, forming a circuit. Finally, the data is transmitted to the shore-based data receiving center station via a 4G communication module built into the 4G communication main control cabin 33. This invention's device achieves efficient seabed environmental data monitoring, efficient data transmission, and more detailed marine data monitoring functions.

[0024] In the above embodiment, a resistance mechanism 5 is installed on the outer surface of the support 19 and the lower top of the main frame 30, and the plastic-coated steel cable 2 passes through the middle of the resistance mechanism 5.

[0025] The resistance mechanism 5 includes two sets of fixed rings 50, which are respectively fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support 19 and the lower top of the main frame 30. Multiple sets of limiting blocks 51 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rings 50. The resistance mechanism 5 also includes a rubber cylinder 52 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the plastic-coated steel cable 2. A connecting cylinder 53 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rubber cylinder 52. Multiple sets of receiving columns 54 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the connecting cylinder 53. A spring 56 and a telescopic column 55 are movably sleeved inside the receiving column 54. The telescopic column 55 is elastically supported in the receiving column 54 by the spring 56. A rotating shaft 57 is movably sleeved at one end of the telescopic column 55. Both ends of the rotating shaft 57 are fixedly connected to rotating wheels 58, and the outer surface of the rotating wheels 58 rolls against the inner ring surface of the fixed ring 50.

[0026] The device of this invention reduces mechanical wear caused by the rotation of the mechanical swivel rings 17 and 34 connected to both ends of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 by adding two sets of resistance mechanisms 5 to the seabed integrated observation platform 1 and the sea surface communication buoy 3. Simultaneously, since the resistance mechanism 5 only reduces the rotational speed of the plastic-coated steel cable 2, the torque on the cable itself is also controlled within a reasonable range, effectively extending the service life of the device. To achieve this, the device of this invention fixes the fixing ring 50 to the seabed integrated observation platform 1 and the sea surface communication buoy 3 as a support platform, utilizing the plastic-coated steel... Cable 2 provides support for rubber cylinder 52, connecting cylinder 53 and receiving column 54. Connecting cylinder 53 is responsible for providing a buffer connection between plastic-coated steel cable 2 and connecting cylinder 53. When plastic-coated steel cable 2 drives receiving column 54 to rotate, the wheel 58 moves to the position of the protrusion on the surface of the limiting block 51 by setting a limit block 51 and compresses the spring 56 inward to generate radial resistance of plastic-coated steel cable 2, and increases the resistance when plastic-coated steel cable 2 rotates, offsetting part of the rotational torque generated by plastic-coated steel cable 2 with seawater flow, thereby reducing the mechanical wear generated when plastic-coated steel cable 2 drives mechanical rotating rings 17 and 24 to rotate.

[0027] In this embodiment, four sets of limiting blocks 51 are arranged circumferentially and evenly on the inner ring surface of the fixed ring 50. Four sets of rotating wheels 58 are also arranged circumferentially and evenly on the inner ring surface of the fixed ring 50. The rotating wheels 58 and the limiting blocks 51 are staggered. Preferably, in this embodiment, the rotating wheels 58 and the limiting blocks 51 are staggered by 45°.

[0028] like Figure 11 As shown, the four sets of limit blocks 51 correspond to the four sets of rotating wheels 58 respectively. When the rotating wheel 58 rotates to be close to the limit block 51, all the rotating wheels 58 can be limited and abutted against the corresponding limit block 51.

[0029] In this embodiment, the axial cross-section of the telescopic column 55 is "T" shaped, and two sets of balance holes 59 are provided at the bottom of the receiving column 54. The two sets of balance holes 59 are located on both sides of one end of the inner side of the telescopic column 55.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the inner wall of the receiving column 54 has balance holes 59 on both sides located at the inner end of the telescopic column 55 to maintain the water pressure balance between the inner and outer sides of the receiving column 54, which can reduce the influence of seawater pressure on the telescopic movement of the telescopic column 55.

[0031] In this embodiment, limit sleeves are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the telescopic column 55, and limit rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 57, with the limit rings abutting against the limit sleeves.

[0032] like Figure 12 As shown, the rotating wheel 58 is located on both sides of the outer surface of the telescopic column 55 and is installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 57. To prevent the rotating shaft 57 from running out of the end of the telescopic column 55, a limiting ring and a limiting sleeve are provided to restrict the movement of the rotating shaft 57.

[0033] In the above embodiment, multiple sets of olive-shaped buoys 4 located on the seabed are installed on the outer surface of the plastic-coated steel cable 2, so that the part of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 above the resistance mechanism 5 can be in a vertical state.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the plastic-coated steel cable 2 is used to connect the sea surface communication buoy 3 and the seabed integrated observation platform 1. The lower outer side of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 is equipped with more than 16 sets of olive-shaped buoys 4 to offset the weight of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 in the seawater, thereby realizing the buoyancy configuration of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 in the water.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the buoyancy discs 32 are arranged in four or more groups and overlap longitudinally. The top of the connecting column 31 extends upward to the top of the buoyancy discs 32 and is fixed by bolts. The buoyancy discs 32 are made of glass microsphere material.

[0036] In this embodiment, the net buoyancy of the buoyancy disc 32 is about 128 kg, and its pressure resistance is not less than 1000 m underwater, providing positive buoyancy for the plastic-coated steel cable 2.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the 4G communication main control cabin 33 has a built-in 4G communication module and GNSS module, and achieves data communication with the shore-based data receiving center station through the antenna dome on the top of the 4G communication main control cabin 33. The underwater coupling communication cabin 18, the plastic-coated steel cable 2 and the sea surface coupling communication cabin 36 transmit data using the principle of inductive coupling transmission.

[0038] The above scheme adopts Faraday's electromagnetic induction principle, Lenz's law, and RS485 bus control and transmission logic. The overall physical architecture is a carrier control and data transmission system. Two or more magnetic rings share a single magnetic / electric field, which is realized through a closed loop formed by a plastic-coated steel cable and seawater. Multiple magnetic rings and coils form multiple windings for magnetic / electric field excitation transformation and carrier transmission. One winding is connected to the inductively coupled control unit as the host (i.e., underwater data acquisition cabin 16 and underwater coupling communication cabin 18). When transmitting data, a frequency-modulated carrier signal modulated by the control unit is applied to both ends of the coil, resulting in a change in the magnetic field and then a change in the electric field, thereby generating an alternating current in the closed loop. The secondary coil can sense this alternating current change caused by the magnetic / electric field and analyze it to extract the original carrier signal. The host data is then received through a digital processing unit, thus realizing the inductively coupled carrier transmission of data.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the two ends of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 are grounded and form a circuit through mechanical rotating ring 2 34 and mechanical rotating ring 17 respectively. Both mechanical rotating ring 2 34 and mechanical rotating ring 17 have built-in inductive coupling transmission modules including inductive coupling magnetic rings and inductive coupling coils. Battery compartment 2 35 is used to supply power to the 4G communication main control compartment 33 and the sea surface coupling communication compartment 36. Battery compartment 13 is used to supply power to the acoustic Doppler current profiler 12, CTD temperature, salinity and depth measuring instrument 14, acoustic Doppler current profiler 2 15 and underwater data acquisition compartment 16.

[0040] like Figure 12 As shown, the underwater data acquisition cabin 16 has a built-in system main control MCU module unit and power management module, which are used to acquire data from two ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 12 and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 2 15) and one CTD (CTD Temperature, Salinity and Depth Measurement Instrument 14), and control the underwater coupling communication cabin 18 to transmit data to the sea surface communication buoy 3 through the plastic-coated steel cable 2. The underwater data acquisition cabin 16 is connected to the two ADCPs and one CTD through the RS232 interface of the watertight cable. The 4G communication main control cabin 33 has an embedded main control MCU unit and power management module, which can receive measurement data from the seabed integrated observation platform 1. The 4G communication main control cabin 33 includes a pressure-resistant cabin, in which the main control MCU unit, GNSS positioning module and 4G communication module are integrated and installed. The outer shell of the cabin is made of TC4 titanium alloy + wave-transparent design.

[0041] In summary, the working principle of this invention is remote, specifically including the following steps: First, the seabed integrated observation platform 1 is installed on the seabed, and the sea surface communication buoy 3 floats on the sea surface through the buoyancy disc 32. The 4G communication main control cabin 33 transmits data to the shore-based data receiving center station.

[0042] The battery compartment 13 supplies power to all parts of the seabed integrated observation platform 1, including the acoustic Doppler current profiler 12, the CTD temperature, salinity, and depth measuring instrument 14, the acoustic Doppler current profiler 2 15, the underwater data acquisition compartment 16, and the underwater coupling communication compartment 18. These components collect relevant seabed data, including: ocean current profile data from the sea surface to the seabed, high-resolution ocean current profile data from the seabed, and seabed water temperature, salinity, and depth data. The seabed integrated observation platform 1 performs synchronous measurements every 3 minutes. The sea surface communication buoy 3 acquires the measurement data from the seabed integrated observation platform 1 via underwater inductive coupling communication. The principle of inductive coupling communication is as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the data is transmitted from the sea surface coupling communication cabin 36 to the 4G communication main control cabin 33. The 4G communication module built into the 4G communication main control cabin 33 uses 4G signals to package the measurement data and send it to the offshore oil operation platform and the shore-based data receiving center station, so as to realize the real-time reception and viewing of the measurement data of the seabed integrated observation platform, the positioning data of the sea surface communication buoy, and the status data information of the system at sea and on land.

[0043] Then, as Figure 1 As shown, since the PVC-coated steel cable 2 is located in seawater, the flowing seawater will exert a horizontal thrust on the PVC-coated steel cable 2, causing the PVC-coated steel cable 2 to rotate. The mechanical swivel rings 34 and 17 connected to its two ends respectively adapt to the rotation of the PVC-coated steel cable 2, thereby eliminating the torque generated by the rotation of the PVC-coated steel cable 2. Figure 11 As shown, the plastic-coated steel cable 2 rotates in the resistance mechanism 5. The sea surface communication buoy 3 drives the rubber cylinder 52, connecting cylinder 53, receiving column 54 and rotating wheel 58 fixed thereto to rotate. The telescopic column 55 and rotating wheel 58 are provided with rebound pressure by the compressed spring 56, so that the rotating wheel 58 can press against the inner ring surface of the fixed ring 50. When the plastic-coated steel cable 2 rotates, the rotating wheel 58 is driven to rotate along the inner ring surface of the fixed ring 50. When the rotating wheel 58 moves to the surface of the limiting block 51, the protruding surface of the limiting block 51 pushes the rotating wheel 58 and telescopic column 55 toward the interior of the receiving column 54, thereby increasing the resistance of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 to drive the receiving column 54 and rotating wheel 58 to rotate, offsetting part of the rotational torque of the plastic-coated steel cable 2, while maintaining the rotational state of the plastic-coated steel cable 2, and appropriately reducing the mechanical rotational wear of the plastic-coated steel cable 2 driving the mechanical rotating ring 17 and mechanical rotating ring 34.
