Detailed Implementation
[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] First embodiment:
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention discloses a monitoring system 1 for offshore installation, comprising a monitoring terminal 10 and a receiving terminal 20. The monitoring terminal 10 is installed at the center of the offshore structure, and the receiving terminal 20 is installed on a command vessel. The monitoring terminal 10 and the receiving terminal 20 are communicatively connected. The monitoring terminal 10 is used to monitor the attitude information of the offshore structure in real time and send data information to the receiving terminal 20. The attitude information includes the angle values of roll, pitch, and heading. The receiving terminal 20 is used to receive the data information sent by the monitoring terminal 10 and perform decoding calculations to obtain the corrected attitude information of the offshore structure. This configuration enables real-time monitoring of the attitude of the offshore structure during installation, ensuring that the attitude of the offshore structure meets the installation requirements, guaranteeing the installation quality of the offshore structure, and reducing the operating cost.
[0043] It should be noted that the offshore structure can be a offshore jacket, and of course, the offshore structure can also be other offshore installations. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0044] The monitoring process of the offshore installation monitoring system 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows: the monitoring terminal 10 monitors the attitude information of the offshore structure in real time and sends data information to the receiving terminal 20. The receiving terminal 20 decodes the data information sent by the monitoring terminal 10 and calculates the corrected attitude information of the offshore structure. The corrected attitude information is displayed in real time so as to intuitively display the attitude information of the offshore structure. Finally, the position coordinates of the offshore structure are obtained through the attitude information until the position coordinates of the offshore structure coincide with the installation position coordinates of the placement area, and the installation of the offshore structure is completed.
[0045] Further, in this embodiment, the monitoring terminal 10 includes a housing 11, an attitude sensor 12, a first wireless data transmission radio 13, and a power supply 14. The housing 11 is configured to form an accommodating cavity 111. The attitude sensor 12, the first wireless data transmission radio 13, and the power supply 14 are all disposed within the accommodating cavity 111. The attitude sensor 12 and the first wireless data transmission radio 13 are both connected to the power supply 14. The power supply 14 is used to supply power to the attitude sensor 12 and the first wireless data transmission radio 13. The attitude sensor 12 is connected to the first wireless data transmission radio 13 via a first data line. The first data line is connected to a setting interface 112 disposed on the outer wall of the housing 11 via a second data line. The first wireless data transmission radio 13 is connected to a transmitting antenna 15 disposed on the outer wall of the housing 11. The power supply 14 is connected to a power switch 113 disposed on the outer wall of the housing 11 via a wire. The power switch 113 is used to control the switching of the power supply 14.
[0046] Specifically, the antenna 24 interface of the first wireless data transmitter 13 is connected to the transmitting antenna 15. Both the attitude sensor 12 and the first wireless data transmitter 13 are connected to an external computer through the setting interface 112. During use, the power switch 113 of the power supply 14 is turned on, and the power supply 14 provides power to the attitude sensor 12 and the first wireless data transmitter 13. The computer is used to set the output frequency of the attitude sensor 12 and the channel, transmission rate, module address, and transmission power of the first wireless data transmitter 13. The attitude sensor 12 measures the attitude information of the marine structure and transmits the acquired attitude information of the marine structure to the receiving end 20 through the first wireless data transmitter 13 and the transmitting antenna 15.
[0047] For example, attitude sensor 12 is an electronic compass. Of course, attitude sensor 12 can also be other measuring instruments, as long as they can measure the attitude information of marine structures.
[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the receiving end 20 includes a second wireless data transmission radio 21, a computer 22, and a power supply 23. Both the second wireless data transmission radio 21 and the computer 22 are connected to the power supply 23, which provides power to the second wireless data transmission radio 21 and the computer 22. The second wireless data transmission radio 21 is connected to the computer 22 via a data cable. The second wireless data transmission radio 21 is wirelessly connected to the transmitting antenna 15 via antenna 24. The second wireless data transmission radio 21 receives data information sent by the monitoring end 10 and transmits the data information to the monitoring software in the computer 22. The monitoring software decodes the data information and calculates the corrected attitude information of the marine structure.
[0049] During use, the second wireless data radio 21 receives data information sent by the monitoring terminal 10 and transmits the data information to the monitoring software in the computer 22. The monitoring software decodes the data information, calculates the corrected attitude information of the marine structure, displays the corrected attitude information in real time and provides a visual display so as to intuitively show the attitude information of the marine structure, and records the corrected attitude information to a local txt file.
[0050] The monitoring software decodes the electronic compass data by converting it from hexadecimal to decimal, performing decoding calculations to obtain a 28-character string, which yields the angle values for roll, pitch, and azimuth.
[0051] The working principle of the marine installation monitoring system 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0052] (1) Coordinate system for installation of offshore structures
[0053] The offshore installation process involves hoisting, moving, and securing offshore structures. During this process, it is necessary to monitor the attitude information of the offshore structures in real time to ensure their safe movement and placement in the designated location.
[0054] First, establish the coordinate system for the installation location in the designated area. Based on the designed principal axis, set the coordinate system for the installation location, with the y-axis as the principal axis, the x-axis pointing perpendicular to the y-axis according to the right-hand rule, and the z-axis vertical, with upwards being positive. Installation location P. si (x si ,y si ,z si ), with the center position being P. sc (x xc ,y sc ,z sc ), with an azimuth angle of θ s ,like Figure 3 .
[0055] Secondly, establish the coordinate system for the offshore structure. Based on the principal axis of the design, set the coordinate system with the y-axis as the principal axis, the x-axis pointing perpendicular to the y-axis according to the right-hand rule, and the z-axis vertical, with upwards being positive. The position of the offshore structure is P. ti (x ti ,y ti ,z ti ), with the center position being P. tc (x tc ,y tc ,z tc ), with an azimuth angle of θ t .
[0056] The installation process of offshore structures is the process of determining the location P of the offshore structure. ti (x ti ,y ti ,z ti ) and the installation position P in the placement area si (x si ,y si ,z si The azimuth angle of the offshore structure is θ, and the alignment is as follows: t The azimuth angle of the positioning position is θ s The process of doing so.
[0057] Among them, the location P of the marine structure ti (x ti ,y ti ,z ti The formula for calculating ) is:
[0058]
[0059] i = 1, 2, ..., n
[0060] In the formula, P si (x si ,y si ,z si P represents the coordinate system for the designated installation position; sc (x sc ,y sc ,z sc θ is the coordinate system defined by the center position. s The azimuth angle of the set installation position;
[0061] P tc (x tc ,y tc ,z tc ) represents the center position of the marine structure; θ t The heading of a marine structure; r tThe roll angle of a marine structure; p t The pitch angle of a marine structure.
[0062] During the installation of offshore structures, one GPS antenna is installed at the center position P of the offshore structure. tc (x tc ,y tc ,z tc The electronic compass measures the roll, pitch, and heading angles of the offshore structure in real time. Since the azimuth and center position of the offshore structure are known, the position of the offshore structure can be calculated in real time.
[0063] (2) Electronic compass data decoding
[0064] The data output by the electronic compass is a hexadecimal string containing 14 bytes, as shown in Table 1.
[0065] Table 1 Conversion of Electronic Compass Data
[0066]
[0067]
[0068] The hexadecimal to decimal conversion is required, followed by decoding and calculation to obtain a 28-character string representing the angle values for roll, pitch, and heading. The data field contains 18 characters representing the pitch, roll, and heading angle values, grouped in 6-byte blocks. The roll angle value is represented by the character 001425, the pitch by 101259, and the heading by 024846. The format is SXXXYY, where S is the sign bit (0 for positive, 1 for negative), XXX is the three-digit integer value, and YY is the decimal value. Therefore, the roll angle is 14.25°, the pitch angle is -12.59°, and the heading angle is 248.46°.
[0069] (3) Attitude output format
[0070] Posture information includes roll, pitch, and heading.
[0071] The monitoring terminal 10 transmits the acquired attitude information of the marine structure to the receiving terminal 20. The monitoring software in the computer 22 of the receiving terminal 20 can transmit the roll, pitch, and heading angle values and transmit them to the command software for marine installation process control, so as to display the attitude data of the marine structure.
[0072] It should be noted that the marine installation monitoring system 1 provided in this embodiment can be used not only for the installation of marine structures, but also for the attitude correction of survey vessels.
[0073] When used for attitude correction of the survey vessel, both the monitoring end 10 and the receiving end 20 are installed on the survey vessel. The attitude sensor 12 of the monitoring end 10 is used to monitor the attitude data of the survey vessel in real time. The attitude data of the survey vessel mainly includes the angle values of heave, roll, pitch and heading. The monitoring end 10 transmits the acquired attitude data of the survey vessel to the receiving end 20. The monitoring software in the computer 22 of the receiving end 20 can transmit the angle values of heave, roll, pitch and heading to the measurement software connected to the receiving end 20 in a specific format for attitude correction of the survey vessel during the measurement process.
[0074] Heave is calculated based on angles and distances. It is primarily used for attitude correction of research vessels during oceanographic surveys. The rolling of a research vessel due to waves causes the survey equipment fixed to the hull to rise and fall. In sea states 2-3, research vessels typically have a beam of 6-7 meters, a roll angle within 0°-7°, and a pitch angle within 0°-5°. In this state, the amplitude of the hull's rise and fall is approximately ±0.52 meters, significantly greater than the ±0.05 meters amplitude at the hull center. Therefore, calculating heave using angles and distances already provides high accuracy.
[0075] h e =D h sin(r s )+d1cos(r s )-d1
[0076] In the formula, h e To investigate the heave value of the equipment, D h r is the distance from the survey equipment to the center of the survey vessel in the x-direction. s d1 is the roll angle of the survey vessel, and d1 is the water depth of the transducer of the shipborne measuring equipment.
[0077] The characters roll, pitch, heading, and heave are combined into a string according to a specific format and sent out. This string can be sent to navigation software or measurement software through the receiving end 20.

Simultaneously, during the calibration of the monitoring terminal 10, the offset values of the electronic compass roll angle Δr, pitch angle Δp, and azimuth angle Δθ are obtained.
