[0002] Tank is widely used in aerospace, navigation and industrial field, for storing and transporting liquid fuel, chemicals or other fluids. The modal characteristics (such as natural frequency and mode shape) of the liquid in the tank have important influence on its performance and stability in dynamic environment. For example, during the launch of spacecraft, the tank is affected by complex vibration environment, and the coupling between liquid and structure may cause resonance or other nonlinear behavior, which endangers the safety of the tank and system. Therefore, studying the modal characteristics of tank liquid and accurately determining its dynamic response are crucial for engineering design, risk assessment and structure optimization.

[0003] The existing liquid modal determination device may have the following defects in structural design, which will affect the stability of the experiment, the measurement accuracy and the adaptability of the device. Vibration transmission interference: the rigidity of the support structure may not be sufficient, which may cause external vibration to be transmitted to the device, affecting the accuracy of modal determination. Non-uniform sensor arrangement: the sensors may not be evenly distributed or may not cover the key areas, resulting in limitations of measurement data and loss of local information. Difficult to adjust liquid: the liquid tank position is fixed or the liquid circulation pipeline arrangement is not flexible, which may cause difficulty in adjusting the liquid filling amount, limiting the research on different liquid levels and filling ratios. In the prior art, the patent number CN204479132U provides a shaking experiment tank liquid level measuring device, which uses the principle of communicating vessel to accurately control and measure the filling of liquid in the tank, but does not provide a means for measuring the liquid excitation effect. Therefore, the device for measuring the liquid in the tank needs to be optimized. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0030] Figure 3 It is a schematic view of experimental storage tank 9 in Figure 1 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The utility model will be further described below in combination with specific embodiment, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this:

[0032] Example 1, a kind of liquid modal determination device of storage tank, as shown in Figure 1 , including device base 1, support frame 4, mobile platform 6, experimental storage tank assembly, modal excitation device, measurement unit and liquid addition and discharge device are equipped on device base 1.

[0033] The device base 1 is a metal flat plate for the stability and support of the entire measuring device. The rigid support frame 4 is located in the middle of the device base 1, and the modal excitation device and the liquid discharge device are respectively located on the left and right sides of the support frame 4. The support frame 4 is a rigid frame structure, and a moving platform 6 is arranged below. The moving platform 6 is a rigid platform made of a metal plate, which is used to support and fix the experimental tank assembly. A flexible pull rod 5 is arranged at each corner of the moving platform 6, and the upper and lower ends of the flexible pull rod 5 are respectively fixedly connected with the upper prism of the support frame 4 and the moving platform 6, so that the moving platform 6 is suspended below the support frame 4 and can maintain suspended stability.

[0034] The modal excitation device includes an exciter baffle 33, an exciter 30, a signal generator 31 and a power amplifier 32. The exciter baffle 33 is vertically arranged at the leftmost side of the device base 1 and is fixedly connected with the device base 1. The exciter 30 is fixedly connected with the device base 1 through the exciter baffle 33 and outputs horizontal excitation force to the right side. The signal generator 31 is signal connected with the exciter 30 through the power amplifier 32. The signal generator 31 is connected with the power amplifier 32 to input signals from a computer, and the power amplifier 32 is signal connected with the exciter to output excitation force by adjusting different excitation accelerations to realize excitation of different liquid modal modes.

[0035] The output shaft of the exciter 30 is connected with the moving platform 6 through a push-pull rod 2, i.e. the two ends of the push-pull rod 2 are fixedly connected with the output shaft of the exciter 30 and the middle part of the left side of the moving platform 6. The push-pull rod 2 is a rigid metal rod, and the vibration of the exciter 30 is transmitted to the moving platform 6 through the push-pull rod 2. Since the moving platform 6 is suspended below the support frame 4 through the flexible pull rod 5, the moving platform 6 performs back-and-forth reciprocating motion. The flexible pull rod 5 has certain elasticity and flexibility, which can effectively absorb the slight vibration transmitted to the device in the environment and reduce the influence of external interference on the experimental results. Especially under high-frequency or large-amplitude excitation conditions, it helps to reduce stress concentration and deformation distortion in the system. It can play a buffering role when the device is subjected to transient impact or vibration, and protect the precision components such as sensors and exciters from damage.

[0036] The experimental tank assembly includes an experimental tank 9, a tank clamping fixture and a tank supporting disc 11. The tank clamping fixture is like Figure 2As shown, the upper part is a ring-shaped fixed jaw 100, the bottom part is a support seat 102, and the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100 and the support seat 102 are fixedly connected by four supports 101. The ring-shaped fixed jaw 100 is a ring-shaped metal ring, and the inner wall of the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100 is provided with a flexible pad to increase the friction and avoid damage to the surface of the experimental storage tank 9. The inner diameter of the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100 is in a tolerance fit with the diameter of the experimental storage tank 9, so that the lower part of the experimental storage tank 9 can be embedded in the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100, and the experimental storage tank 9 can be fixed in the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100 without deviation.

[0037] The experimental storage tank 9 is a cylindrical sealed container made of organic glass, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the top and bottom are both arc-shaped, which facilitates embedding in the ring-shaped fixed jaw 100. An outlet and an inlet are respectively provided at the bottom of the experimental storage tank 9, the inlet is provided with a water inlet one-way valve 84 with a switch, and the outlet is provided with a water outlet one-way valve 85 with a switch, to control the water inlet and outlet of the experimental storage tank 9, respectively.

[0038] The support seat 102 is fixedly connected with the storage tank supporting disc 11 by bolts, and the storage tank supporting disc 11 is fixedly connected with the moving platform 6 by bolts, so that the experimental storage tank 9 can be fixedly connected with the moving platform 6 through the storage tank clamping device, the storage tank supporting disc 11, and the moving platform 6, and the experimental storage tank 9 can be moved back and forth with the moving platform 6, so that the liquid in the experimental storage tank 9 can be excited and shaken, and the shaking mode of the liquid can be obtained.

[0039] The liquid discharging device includes a liquid storage tank 80, a self-priming pump 81, a three-way valve 82, and a hydraulic hose 83. The liquid storage tank 80 is connected with the three-way valve 82 through the self-priming pump 81, and then divided into two paths, which are respectively connected with the water inlet one-way valve 84 and the water outlet one-way valve 85 of the experimental storage tank 9. The liquid storage tank 80, the self-priming pump 81, the self-priming pump 81, the three-way valve 82, the water inlet one-way valve 84, and the water outlet one-way valve 85 are all connected by the hydraulic hose 83, and are all detachably connected (for example, using a buckle type quick connector or a threaded connection), which reduces the disturbance of liquid fluctuation to the structure of the device during liquid circulation, and improves the vibration stability of the device. The hydraulic hose 83 can be a nut joint corrugated pipe or a quick connector corrugated pipe, which can be easily removed after the liquid is filled and the water inlet one-way valve 84 is closed, so that the experimental storage tank 9 can move with the moving platform 6 without being restricted by the hydraulic hose 83.

[0040] When the self-priming pump 81 is running forward, liquid flows out from the liquid storage tank 80, under the pressure pushing of the self-priming pump 81, flows into the experimental storage tank 9 through the three-way pipe 82 and the water inlet check valve 84 (the water outlet check valve 85 is closed). When the self-priming pump 81 is running reversely, liquid flows out from the experimental storage tank 9 (the water inlet of the experimental storage tank 9 is closed due to the action of the water inlet check valve 84), flows back into the liquid storage tank 80 through the water outlet check valve 85, the three-way pipe 82 and the self-priming pump 81, so as to realize automatic liquid filling and draining in the experimental storage tank 9.

[0042] The two CCD high-speed cameras 22 are located on the two sides (left side and front side) of the experimental storage tank 9 and are arranged perpendicularly, and are fixedly connected with the device base 1 through support columns. The change process of the liquid surface of the liquid in the experimental storage tank 9 is shot by adding fluorescent dye into the experimental storage tank 9 made of transparent organic glass during the back-and-forth reciprocating motion of the experimental storage tank 9.

[0043] The displacement sensor 20, the acceleration sensor 21 and the CCD high-speed camera 22 are all connected with an external computer through a single-chip microcomputer for signal transmission.

[0047] 3. After the filling is completed, the water inlet check valve 84 is closed, and the hydraulic hose 83 connected with the water inlet check valve 84 is removed.
