Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of CSOV (Construction Service Vessel) manufacturing technology, and in particular to a modular assembly process for a twin-stern hull of a CSOV and a method for compensating for segment docking errors. Background Technology
[0002] As the global offshore wind power industry expands into deep and open waters, the CSOV (Conditional Sea Container Vehicle) is the core equipment for the entire lifecycle operation and maintenance of offshore wind power. Its manufacturing precision and efficiency directly determine the safety, efficiency, and market competitiveness of operation and maintenance. The Ulstein TwinX-Stern twin-stern styling has become the mainstream styling for high-end CSOVs due to its excellent seakeeping, propulsion efficiency, and operational stability. However, this styling has a complex curved structure, high symmetry requirements, and extremely difficult modular assembly and segmented docking error compensation.
[0003] Currently, domestic CSOV manufacturing faces the dilemma of "strong design, weak manufacturing, and slow optimization," with existing technologies exhibiting the following core bottlenecks:
[0004] Lack of collaborative design mechanism: The segmentation only considers structural strength and does not combine pre-outfitting with green power system integration for collaborative optimization, resulting in frequent interference during final assembly; the symmetry control of the two sterns adopts passive adjustment and lacks active control algorithm, resulting in excessive accumulation of symmetry deviation; the digitalization level of pre-outfitting interfaces is low and relies on manual experience; the green power system is disconnected from the final assembly process, and pipeline layout conflicts with segment docking.
[0005] The manufacturing process is not sufficiently digitalized: the laser point cloud noise filtering effect is poor, and the digital twin model cannot synchronize the manufacturing status in real time; the monitoring of the symmetrical deviation of the two sterns lacks a scientific early warning mechanism, and the accumulated deviation is transmitted to the final assembly stage; the optimization of the final assembly sequence is prone to getting trapped in local optima, and the virtual assembly only checks hard interference while ignoring soft interference (pipeline spacing, operating space, etc.), and the feasibility is not verified in combination with the symmetrical characteristics of the two sterns.
[0006] Weaknesses in error compensation and intelligent control: The types of docking errors are complex, and the existing identification relies on human experience and lacks self-learning ability; the compensation strategy is fixed and singular, and does not adaptively select according to the type of error, resulting in poor coordination between mechanical, thermal, and process compensation; the accuracy of hoisting posture prediction is low, the welding process lacks intelligent synchronous control, and the inconsistency of parameters on both sides of the stern leads to asymmetrical deformation.
[0007] Quality inspection and process optimization are lagging behind: the sequential inspection method is inefficient, there is a lack of big data analysis to uncover process patterns, and there is no closed-loop mechanism for process optimization, making it difficult to achieve continuous improvement.
[0008] While leading international companies (such as Ulstein and VARD) have mastered the relevant core technologies, their processes rely on high-end specialized equipment, which is costly and cannot be adapted to the existing equipment level of domestic shipyards; they have not been optimized for the production conditions and CSOV operation and maintenance needs of domestic shipyards, resulting in poor applicability.
[0009] Existing domestic patents mostly focus on single links, lacking integrated design and intelligent control of the entire process. They suffer from problems of "emphasizing design but neglecting process" and "emphasizing individual technical points but neglecting system integration," making it difficult to form an effective technical defense. Against this background, the development of a modular assembly process for the twin stern hull of CSOV ships that integrates integrated collaborative design, intelligent precision control, and data-driven optimization, as well as a method for compensating for segment docking errors, has become an urgent need to promote the independent upgrading of my country's CSOV industry. Summary of the Invention
[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a modular assembly process for CSOV twin-stern hull lines and a method for compensating for segment docking errors. By combining the manufacturing characteristics of Ulstein TwinX-Stern twin-stern hull line CSOVs with the equipment level of domestic shipyards, the invention achieves a triple improvement in modular assembly efficiency, precision, and intelligence, forming a low-cost and replicable process solution.
[0011] A modular assembly process for a CSOV (Conductor-Shipboard) with twin stern lines and a method for compensating for section docking errors includes the following steps:
[0012] S1: Based on the geometric features of the twin-stern linear curved surface, structural strength requirements, shipyard hoisting equipment load-bearing capacity, and the integration requirements of pre-outfitting and green power, a multi-objective collaborative optimization algorithm is used to divide the CSOV hull into multiple super sections;
[0013] Based on the super segmentation results, a dual-stern symmetric active control design, digital interface management of pre-outfitting units, and integrated collaborative design of green power and final assembly are established.
[0014] S2: Perform a full-range scan of the super segment during the manufacturing process, collect segment point cloud data, and perform noise reduction and filtering preprocessing on the point cloud data;
[0015] Based on the preprocessed point cloud data, a segmented digital twin model is constructed, which includes segmented geometric features, pre-outfitting status and manufacturing precision information, and the segmented digital twin model is updated in real time.
[0016] Based on the active control design of dual stern symmetry in S1, the dual stern symmetry reference surface is selected, the edges of the dual stern curved surfaces and key symmetry points of the propeller base are selected, the dual stern symmetry deviation is monitored and an early warning threshold is set;
[0017] S3: An adaptive genetic algorithm is used to construct a multi-objective fitness function, and the optimal segmented assembly order is obtained through iterative optimization.
[0018] A virtual assembly environment is built based on the segmented digital twin model. The optimal assembly sequence, segmented geometric data, pre-outfitting data, and green power equipment data are imported. A multi-dimensional interference inspection algorithm is used to inspect the virtual assembly process for interference, detect hard interference and soft interference, and verify the symmetry and feasibility of the segmented docking of the two sterns in conjunction with the symmetrical reference plane of the two sterns.
[0019] S4: Hoist the segments to the final assembly station and preliminarily position them according to the optimal assembly sequence, collect point cloud data of the segment docking end faces, extract the actual geometric data of the docking end faces, compare the geometric data in the segment digital twin model, and calculate the docking error;
[0020] The SVM machine learning algorithm is used to identify and classify the docking errors, extract the feature parameters of systematic errors, random errors and deformation errors, and establish an error classification database with self-learning function;
[0021] S5: Based on the error classification results, an adaptive selection algorithm for compensation strategies is used to automatically match the optimal compensation strategy. Systematic errors are preferentially compensated by process compensation, random errors are preferentially compensated by mechanical compensation, and deformation errors are compensated by a combination of thermal and mechanical compensation.
[0022] Calculate the optimal compensation amount for various types of errors, implement multi-strategy collaborative compensation according to the optimal compensation amount, monitor the docking accuracy in real time during the compensation process and iterate the compensation until the accuracy requirements are met;
[0023] S6: An attention-based LSTM prediction model is used to collect historical attitude data during the hoisting process to predict the hoisting attitude, and the hoisting equipment parameters are actively adjusted based on the prediction results;
[0024] By synchronously controlling the welding parameters on both sides of the stern using a fuzzy adaptive PID algorithm, and predicting and suppressing welding deformation using a welding deformation prediction formula, the welding operation is completed using a symmetrical welding process, and the modular integration and installation of each functional module is completed simultaneously.
[0025] S7: Use a parallel accuracy detection algorithm to perform a global accuracy inspection on the assembled twin-stern hull. If the inspection fails, return to step S5 for readjustment.
[0026] A big data analysis platform for final assembly accuracy was established. By mining the correlation patterns between process parameters and assembly accuracy through association rules, a process iterative optimization model was constructed to achieve closed-loop optimization of process parameters.
[0027] Furthermore: In step S1, dividing the CSOV hull into multiple super sections specifically includes:
[0028] Based on the curvature distribution of the Ulstein TwinX-Stern twin-stern linear surface, structural strength requirements, shipyard lifting equipment load-bearing capacity, and pre-outfitting and green power integration needs, the CSOV hull is divided into 6-8 super sections using the aforementioned multi-objective collaborative optimization algorithm. During the division process, abrupt curvature changes in the twin-stern surface are avoided, with the curvature of these abrupt curvature changes not less than 0.05 per meter. Each super section integrates complete twin-stern surface units, pre-outfitting units, and green power equipment installation areas. The docking surfaces of each super section adopt standardized designs, and the section weight is controlled within the load-bearing capacity of the shipyard's existing lifting equipment.
[0029] Further: In step S1, the dual-stern symmetry active control design includes:
[0030] A global coordinate system for the CSOV hull is established, with the keel centerline as the X-axis, the beam direction as the Y-axis, and the draft direction as the Z-axis. A global symmetry reference plane is established with the stern symmetry center as the reference. A PID algorithm for active control of stern symmetry is adopted, and the symmetry adjustment is calculated based on the proportional, integral, and derivative terms of the real-time symmetry deviation value, where the proportional coefficient is 1.4, the integral coefficient is 0.2, and the derivative coefficient is 0.3. The segment design parameters are adjusted in real time to ensure that the stern symmetry deviation is no greater than ±0.3 mm.
[0031] The digital interface management of the pre-outfitting unit includes:
[0032] A digital interface management system for pre-outfitting units is constructed, and the interface dimensions, coordinates, and connection methods of pre-outfitting units are standardized. An interface matching degree evaluation model is established, which evaluates the interface matching degree by calculating the average Euclidean distance between the actual coordinates and theoretical coordinates of each interface measuring point in the three-dimensional coordinate system. The number of interface measuring points is not less than 50, and the interface is judged to be qualified when the interface matching degree is not greater than ±0.1 mm.
[0033] The integrated design of green power and final assembly includes:
[0034] Conduct integrated collaborative design of green power systems and final assembly processes, establish a collaborative coupling degree calculation model, and use the weighted average of the coupling degree of each collaborative link as the overall collaborative coupling degree. The number of collaborative links shall not be less than 4, and the weight coefficient of each link shall be in the range of 0.2 to 0.3. When the collaborative coupling degree is not less than 0.85, it shall be judged as qualified.
[0035] Furthermore: In step S2, a laser three-dimensional scanning device is used to perform a full-range scan of the super segment during the manufacturing process. The scanning accuracy is no greater than ±0.1 mm, the scanning data acquisition density is no less than 10 points per square millimeter, and the scanning data covers the key parts of the double stern curved surface, the docking surface, and the pre-outfitting interface.
[0036] The denoising and filtering preprocessing adopts an improved laser point cloud filtering algorithm, namely tensor voting combined with random sampling consensus algorithm. The point cloud data is filtered by tensor voting value and voting weight, where the voting weight is in the range of 0.1 to 0.3, and the point cloud error after filtering is no greater than ±0.05 mm.
[0037] The point cloud data includes:
[0038] Twin-stern structure surface data: Three-dimensional coordinate point data of the entire twin-stern surface contour, used to determine the twin-stern symmetry deviation and surface assembly accuracy;
[0039] Segmented docking end face data: Three-dimensional geometric point data of each super segment docking surface, used to calculate assembly errors such as segmented docking gap, misalignment, and angle;
[0040] Key interface data for pre-outfitting: Three-dimensional coordinate data of interfaces of pre-outfitting units such as pipelines and equipment, used to verify the interface matching accuracy;
[0041] Core base installation data: Three-dimensional point data of the mounting surfaces of key equipment such as the thruster base, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the core equipment;
[0042] The segmented digital twin model is updated in real time using a digital twin real-time update mechanism. Based on the model data at the current moment, the update coefficient and the difference between the actual scan data and the model data at the current moment are used for correction and update. The update coefficient is 0.7, which realizes real-time synchronization between the model and the segmented manufacturing process.
[0043] The monitoring of stern symmetry deviation includes:
[0044] Based on the aforementioned stern-to-stern symmetry reference plane, select at least 20 pairs of key symmetry points on the edges of the stern curved surfaces and the propeller base. Employ a stern-to-stern symmetry deviation monitoring algorithm to obtain the real-time symmetry deviation by calculating the spatial distance of the corresponding key symmetry points in the three-dimensional coordinate system. Set the warning threshold to ±0.3 mm. When the absolute value of the real-time symmetry deviation exceeds the warning threshold, a deviation warning is triggered.
[0045] Furthermore: In step S3, the multi-objective fitness function constructed by the adaptive genetic algorithm uses the reciprocal of the weighted sum of the assembly cycle, the cumulative error, and the interference risk as the fitness value;
[0046] The weights for assembly cycle, error accumulation, and interference risk are 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3 respectively. The optimization objectives are to shorten the assembly cycle, reduce error accumulation, and reduce interference risk. The crossover probability decreases linearly with the number of iterations, while the mutation probability increases linearly with the number of iterations. The maximum number of iterations is 120.
[0047] The multi-dimensional interference inspection algorithm performs hard interference detection and soft interference detection on the virtual assembly process. The hard interference includes structural collisions and equipment collisions, and the soft interference includes insufficient pipeline spacing, insufficient equipment installation space, and insufficient operating space. If interference problems exist, return to S1 to adjust the segment division or pre-outfitting layout until all interference problems are resolved.
[0048] Furthermore, in step S4, the SVM machine learning algorithm is used to identify and classify the docking error, with the optimization objective of maximizing the classification interval and minimizing the classification error. A penalty coefficient is introduced to control the tolerance for classification errors, wherein the penalty coefficient is 10, to ensure that the error classification accuracy is not less than 98%.
[0049] The error classification database with self-learning function adopts a self-learning update mechanism. Based on the original classification model, it updates the model by combining the learning rate and the difference between the new error data and the output of the original model. The learning rate is 0.15, and the classification model is automatically updated when new error data is added.
[0050] Further: In step S5, the adaptive selection algorithm for compensation strategy selects the optimal compensation strategy by calculating the weighted fit of three strategies: mechanical compensation, thermal compensation, and process compensation. The mechanical compensation fit weight is 0.4, the thermal compensation fit weight is 0.3, and the process compensation fit weight is 0.3. The optimal compensation strategy is automatically matched based on the maximum weighted fit.
[0051] The optimal compensation amount for various types of errors is calculated using a multi-strategy collaborative compensation algorithm. The mechanical compensation amount, thermal compensation amount, and process compensation amount are weighted and summed according to their compensation weights to obtain the total compensation amount. The compensation weights of the three compensation methods are adjusted according to the error type and the sum is 1.
[0052] The thermal compensation adopts fuzzy PID control, and the control algorithm is the same as the symmetric active control PID algorithm in step S1.2. The parameters are adjusted to a proportional coefficient of 1.2, an integral coefficient of 0.15, and a derivative coefficient of 0.25 to ensure that the thermal compensation temperature control accuracy is no greater than ±5 degrees Celsius.
[0053] The implementation of multi-strategy collaborative compensation includes:
[0054] Mechanical compensation is achieved using a six-degree-of-freedom positioning device, thermal compensation using a controllable heating device, and process compensation using welding sequence adjustment and positioning tooling optimization. During the compensation process, laser tracking equipment is used to monitor the docking accuracy in real time. After each compensation is completed, point cloud data of the docking end face is collected and residual error is calculated until the residual error is no greater than ±0.1 mm, the docking gap is no greater than 0.5 mm, the misalignment deviation is no greater than ±0.8 mm, and the angle deviation is no greater than ±0.5 degrees.
[0055] Further: In step S6, the attention-based LSTM prediction model uses the attention mechanism to weightedly fuse the hidden state information of historical hoisting posture data, and obtains the hoisting posture prediction value through output layer mapping. The root mean square error between the predicted posture and the true posture is used as the loss function, where the observation time is 10 time steps and the prediction time is 5 time steps. The hoisting equipment parameters are actively adjusted according to the prediction results to ensure that the segmented positioning deviation is no greater than ±0.1 mm.
[0056] The fuzzy adaptive PID algorithm synchronously controls the welding parameters on both sides of the stern, collects welding current, voltage, speed, and temperature parameters on both sides in real time and adjusts them dynamically; combined with the welding deformation prediction model, the welding deformation is predicted based on the linear combination of welding current, welding speed, and welding temperature, where the welding current correction coefficient is 0.002, the welding speed correction coefficient is 0.001, and the welding temperature correction coefficient is 0.0005, and the welding parameters are adjusted in advance to ensure symmetrical welding deformation of the stern.
[0057] The symmetrical welding process adopts a butt welding followed by fillet welding and a centrally symmetrical welding process. Welding is carried out simultaneously from the center of symmetry of the two sterns to both sides. The welding speed is controlled at 2 to 3 millimeters per second, the welding current is 200 to 250 amperes, and the welding voltage is 22 to 25 volts. During the welding process, a laser scanning device is used to monitor the welding deformation in real time. If the deformation exceeds ±0.2 millimeters, the welding parameters are adjusted immediately to ensure that the welding deformation is controlled to be no greater than ±0.2 millimeters.
[0058] Further: In step S7, the parallel precision detection algorithm obtains the global average deviation by calculating the average spatial distance between each detection point of the hull after final assembly and the theoretical coordinates, wherein the total number of detection points is not less than 10,000; the focus is on inspecting the fit of the twin stern curved surfaces, the segment docking accuracy, and the positioning accuracy of the propeller base, ensuring that the assembly deviation of the twin stern curved outer plate is not greater than ±2 mm, the gap between the segment docking surfaces is not greater than 0.5 mm, the positioning deviation of the propeller base is not greater than ±1 mm, and the symmetry deviation of the twin sterns is not greater than ±0.3 mm;
[0059] The assembly precision big data analysis platform integrates data from the entire assembly process and employs an association rule mining algorithm to mine the correlation between process parameters and assembly precision by calculating the support and confidence of the simultaneous occurrence of process parameters and precision indicators. The process iterative optimization model, based on the current process parameters, iteratively updates the process parameters along the gradient direction of the precision evaluation indicators, with an iteration step size of 0.05. Iteratively optimizes segmented parameters, welding parameters, and compensation strategies, and feeds the optimized process parameters back to subsequent assembly stages, establishing a closed-loop mechanism for process optimization.
[0060] Furthermore: A modular assembly process for a CSOV (Conductor-Shipboard) with twin stern lines and a section docking error compensation system, comprising:
[0061] The super-segment division and collaborative design module is used to divide the CSOV hull into multiple super segments based on the geometric features of the twin stern linear curved surfaces, structural strength requirements, shipyard hoisting equipment load-bearing capacity, and pre-outfitting and green power integration requirements. It also establishes twin stern symmetry active control design, pre-outfitting unit digital interface management, and green power and final assembly integrated collaborative design.
[0062] The segmented digital twin and symmetry monitoring module is used to perform full-range laser scanning on the super segments in the manufacturing process, collect segmented point cloud data and perform noise reduction and filtering preprocessing, extract actual segmented geometric data, construct segmented digital twin models containing segmented geometric features, pre-outfitting status and manufacturing accuracy information and update them in real time, and select the edges of the double stern curved surfaces and key symmetry points of the propeller base based on the double stern symmetry reference plane to monitor the double stern symmetry deviation and set early warning thresholds.
[0063] The assembly sequence optimization and virtual assembly module is used to construct a multi-objective fitness function using an adaptive genetic algorithm to iteratively optimize and obtain the optimal segmented assembly sequence. Based on the segmented digital twin model, a virtual assembly environment is built. The optimal assembly sequence, segmented geometric data, pre-outfitting data, and green power equipment data are imported. A multi-dimensional interference inspection algorithm is used to perform hard and soft interference detection on the virtual assembly process. The symmetry and feasibility of the segmented docking of the two sterns are verified in conjunction with the symmetrical reference plane of the two sterns.
[0064] The intelligent identification and classification module for docking errors is used to collect point cloud data of the docking end faces of the segments after the initial positioning of the segmented hoisting, extract the actual geometric data of the docking end faces, compare the geometric data in the segmented digital twin model to calculate the docking error, use the SVM machine learning algorithm to identify and classify the docking error, extract the feature parameters of systematic error, random error and deformation error, and establish an error classification database with self-learning function.
[0065] The adaptive multi-strategy collaborative compensation module is used to automatically match the optimal compensation strategy based on the error classification results using an adaptive selection algorithm. Systematic errors are preferentially compensated by process compensation, random errors are preferentially compensated by mechanical compensation, and deformation errors are compensated by a combination of thermal and mechanical compensation. The module calculates the optimal compensation amount for each type of error and implements multi-strategy collaborative compensation. During the compensation process, the docking accuracy is monitored in real time and the compensation is iteratively performed until the accuracy requirements are met.
[0066] The hoisting attitude prediction and welding synchronization control module is used to collect historical attitude data during the hoisting process using an attention-based LSTM prediction model to predict the hoisting attitude. Based on the prediction results, the hoisting equipment parameters are actively adjusted. The welding parameters on both sides of the stern are synchronously controlled by a fuzzy adaptive PID algorithm. The welding deformation is predicted and suppressed by the welding deformation prediction formula. The welding operation is completed by using a symmetrical welding process. The modular integration and installation of each functional module are completed simultaneously.
[0067] The global accuracy detection and process optimization module is used to perform global accuracy inspection on the assembled twin-stern hull using a parallel accuracy detection algorithm. If the inspection fails, it triggers a readjustment and compensation. It also builds a big data analysis platform for assembly accuracy, mines the correlation between process parameters and assembly accuracy through association rules, constructs a process iterative optimization model, and realizes closed-loop optimization of process parameters.
[0068] The central control unit is communicatively connected to each of the above modules and is used to coordinate and control the operation sequence, data interaction and command issuance of each module.
[0069] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0070] (1) Through multi-objective collaborative optimization and dedicated algorithms, the collaborative linkage of segmentation, pre-outfitting, green power integration and final assembly process is realized, effectively controlling structural symmetry deviation, improving the interface matching and process collaboration of each component, avoiding assembly interference problems, optimizing the overall final assembly operation process, and shortening the final assembly construction cycle.
[0071] (2) By relying on the improved laser point cloud filtering algorithm to optimize the point cloud data acquisition and processing effect, combined with the characteristics of the real-time digital twin model and the synchronous update of the manufacturing process, and with the symmetric deviation early warning mechanism, the problem of deviation accumulation is avoided from the source, effectively improving the overall accuracy of segmented manufacturing and providing a solid foundation for the accuracy of subsequent final assembly operations.
[0072] (3) Optimize the assembly sequence with adaptive genetic algorithm to improve the convergence effect and accuracy of the assembly plan. Check and avoid various soft and hard interference risks in advance through multi-dimensional interference inspection, ensure that the virtual assembly effect is highly consistent with the actual assembly operation, and reduce rework and process adjustment work in the assembly stage.
[0073] (4) The SVM machine learning algorithm is used to optimize the error classification and recognition effect. It is equipped with an error database with self-learning function, which can realize the dynamic iterative optimization of the classification model, accurately adapt to various error scenarios, provide reliable support for the reasonable selection of error compensation strategies, and greatly improve the work efficiency of error identification and judgment.
[0074] (5) By using the adaptive selection algorithm of the compensation strategy to match the optimal compensation combination scheme, the overall compensation effect is improved by relying on the multi-strategy collaborative compensation mode. Combined with the thermal compensation fuzzy PID control technology, the problem of secondary deformation during assembly is effectively avoided, the hull docking error is greatly improved, and the hidden danger of assembly deviation is reduced.

Combined with the fuzzy adaptive PID welding synchronous control technology, the symmetry of welding deformation of the double stern structure is ensured, the welding deformation problem is accurately controlled, welding defects and welding rework are effectively reduced, and the welding quality is improved.
[0076] (7) Optimize the inspection operation mode through parallel precision detection algorithm, improve the overall inspection work efficiency, rely on big data analysis and process knowledge mining to extract core optimization rules, and cooperate with process parameter iterative optimization model to realize continuous improvement of manufacturing process, steadily improve assembly accuracy and operation efficiency, and form a standardized, scalable and reusable modular assembly process solution.
[0077] (8) This invention can be directly adapted to existing production lines without the need to add large-scale special production equipment, effectively controlling the overall manufacturing cost; it can comprehensively optimize the core operating performance of CSOV vessels, help product performance meet international advanced standards, promote the independent development of the domestic CSOV industry, and significantly enhance the market core competitiveness of domestic high-end CSOV products.

[0096] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, step S1, which involves dividing the CSOV hull into multiple supersections, specifically includes:
[0097] Based on the curvature distribution of the Ulstein TwinX-Stern twin-stern linear curved surface, structural strength requirements, shipyard lifting equipment load-bearing capacity, and pre-outfitting and green power integration needs, the aforementioned multi-objective collaborative optimization algorithm is used to divide the CSOV hull into 6-8 super sections. During the division process, abrupt curvature changes in the twin-stern curved surface are avoided, with the curvature of these abrupt curvature changes not less than 0.05 per meter. This ensures that each super section integrates complete twin-stern curved surface units, pre-outfitting units, and green power equipment installation areas. The docking surfaces of each super section adopt standardized designs, and the section weight is controlled within the load-bearing capacity of the shipyard's existing lifting equipment.
[0098] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the dual-stern symmetry active control design includes:

The segment design parameters are adjusted in real time to ensure that the stern symmetry deviation is no greater than ±0.3 mm.

[0126] The symmetrical welding process employs a butt welding followed by fillet welding, and a centrally symmetrical welding process. Welding is carried out simultaneously from the center of symmetry of the two sterns to both sides, controlling the welding speed at 2 to 3 millimeters per second, the welding current at 200 to 250 amperes, and the welding voltage at 22 to 25 volts. During the welding process, a laser scanning device is used to monitor welding deformation in real time. If the deformation exceeds ±0.2 millimeters, the welding parameters are immediately adjusted to ensure that the welding deformation is controlled to be no greater than ±0.2 millimeters.
[0127] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, in step S7, the parallel precision detection algorithm obtains the global average deviation by calculating the average spatial distance between each detection point of the hull after final assembly and the theoretical coordinates, wherein the total number of detection points is not less than 10,000; the focus is on inspecting the fit of the twin stern curved surfaces, the segment docking accuracy, and the positioning accuracy of the propeller base, ensuring that the assembly deviation of the twin stern curved outer plate is not greater than ±2 mm, the gap between the segment docking surfaces is not greater than 0.5 mm, the positioning deviation of the propeller base is not greater than ±1 mm, and the symmetry deviation of the twin sterns is not greater than ±0.3 mm;

[0225] Based on the optimal matching compensation strategy, a multi-strategy collaborative compensation algorithm is adopted, which integrates the advantages of mechanical compensation, thermal compensation, and process compensation. The optimal total compensation amount for docking error is calculated by weighting, so as to realize multi-dimensional error collaborative correction. The core calculation formula is as follows:
[0226] The parameters in the formula are defined as follows: The optimal total compensation for docking error; These are three independent compensation quantities: mechanical, thermal, and process. The dynamic weight coefficients corresponding to the compensation method are adaptively adjusted according to the error type, and the sum of the three weights is always 1.

[0237] This algorithm constructs a 5×5 fuzzy inference rule base, classifying the input deviation e and the deviation change rate ec into five levels: NB (large negative), NM (medium negative), ZO (zero), PM (medium positive), and PB (large positive). The control logic is as follows: when the deviation is large, the proportional coefficient is increased first to suppress integral saturation and quickly eliminate steady-state deviation; when the deviation change rate is fast, the differential coefficient is increased to dampen system fluctuations; the parameter correction amplitude is weakened in the steady-state range to ensure system stability, achieving thermal compensation temperature control accuracy ≤ ±5℃, no secondary structure deformation, and an overall calculation error of compensation ≤ ±0.1mm.
[0238] The input quantities are divided into {NB, NM, ZO, PM, PB} (negative large, negative medium, zero, positive medium, positive large); when the deviation is large, the proportional coefficient is increased first to suppress integral saturation; when the deviation changes rapidly, the derivative coefficient is increased to dampen fluctuations; the parameter output is weakened in the steady state range to ensure the thermal compensation temperature control accuracy is ≤±5℃, eliminate secondary structure deformation, and the overall error of the compensation calculation is ≤±0.1mm.
