Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrological measurement instrument calibration technology, and particularly relates to a calibration device and method for a pressure wave measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Waves are one of the most fundamental elements of hydrology and a common natural phenomenon in oceans and estuaries. A pressure wave meter is a hydrological instrument that measures wave height and period by sensing the pressure changes of the water surface relative to the seabed using a pressure sensor. It is considered an ideal instrument for measuring waves in harsh marine environments and is widely used in engineering wave observation and marine disaster prevention and mitigation. It has a significant impact on the marine economy, the development and utilization of marine resources, maritime military activities, and the site selection, structural design, construction, and daily operation of waterway engineering projects.
[0003] In 2018, Tian Weimin proposed a calibration device for a pressure-type wave and tide meter in his paper "Research on Calibration and Verification Device". This device mainly consists of three parts: a hydraulic system, a piping system, and a closed container comparison system. In this device, the wave height is measured using an invar scale. The hydraulic system provides the power to simulate the vertical motion of the standard wave and controls the motion cycle. The standard water level is represented by the water level in a transparent pipe connected to the bottom of the well. A camera automatically tracks the water level and reads the invar scale value to obtain the highest and lowest standard water levels, thus calculating the standard wave height. The wave period is measured using a digital angular velocity encoder. The reciprocating change of the water level for a given period is powered by a motor, and the motor speed is measured by the digital angular velocity encoder. This device has the following shortcomings: First, the supporting facilities are over 10 m high, and the standard is fixedly connected to the supporting facilities, making disassembly and installation difficult when the standard is sent to a higher-level metrological calibration institution, resulting in significant traceability challenges. Second, the device introduces a large number of uncertainty components during the calibration process, leading to a relatively large measurement uncertainty in the calibration results.
[0004] In 2015, Yao Yilong proposed a wave / tide testing and verification system device in his invention patent "Wave / Tide Testing and Verification System Device and Its Application." This device includes a power system, a measurement and control system, and key auxiliary mechanisms. The measurement and control system and the power system cooperate, using a traction auxiliary mechanism to drag the carrying platform in the vertical direction to simulate wave motion. The device uses an absolute encoder and a rotary encoder as metrological standards, together forming a speed-position dual feedback control system. However, the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine is large and fixedly installed on top of the device, making it difficult to trace the key values for measuring its precision. This makes it difficult to confirm the errors introduced by factors other than the rotational speed of the permanent magnet synchronous traction machine during wave period conversion, resulting in a certain degree of error in the standard wave period provided by the device.
[0005] In summary, existing calibration technologies for pressure wave measuring instruments suffer from several problems, including difficulty in sending standard instruments for testing, incomplete traceability of wave height and wave period values, and low accuracy of calibration results.

Substituting this value into equation (4) yields: Therefore, 1.004 m is not an outlier. Following the steps above, all wave height measurement results were evaluated sequentially, and no outliers were found. After removing the outliers, the arithmetic mean of each group of wave height measurements was recalculated according to formula (2) and used as the wave height measurement result of the pressure wave measuring instrument. The results are shown in Table 3.

The induction bar is fixed to the lifting platform. The cross-sectional shape is "L" shaped, with a diameter of 2 mm and a height of 0.400 m. As the lifting platform moves up and down periodically, the induction bar passes through the laser valve periodically. When the induction bar passes through the laser valve, the laser beam is interrupted, and the output voltage of the laser valve jumps. The digital oscilloscope records the jump times accordingly. In each motion cycle, the lifting platform first moves down and then up. The induction bar passes through the laser valve twice, generating two voltage jump intervals. The time interval from the end of the first jump to the beginning of the second jump is the first time interval when the induction bar is below the laser valve.

[0059] Taking the measurement results with a wave height of 1 m and a wave period setting of 5 s as an example: the result calculated by equation (11) is as follows: s, calculated from equation (12) The largest difference between the 10 measured values and the arithmetic mean is 5.0 s. Substituting this value into equation (13) yields: Therefore, 5.0 s is not an outlier. The above steps were followed to judge all wave period measurement results in sequence, and no outliers were found.
