Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to offshore wind power equipment field especially continuous penetration's separation type in situ observation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the frequent storm surge disasters are increasingly serious for the damage of offshore wind farms, and the offshore wind pile foundation is threatened by marine geological disasters such as scouring and liquefaction. The detection of engineering geological conditions in the offshore wind farm area and the long-term observation of seabed dynamic response are the key to ensure the safe operation of offshore wind farms.

[0003] So far, the detection technology of seabed sediment engineering geological conditions is mostly focused on static cone penetration (CPT). The static cone penetration has very high requirements for the penetration process of the CPT probe. Not only does the CPT probe need to penetrate at a constant speed, but also it needs to maintain continuous penetration as much as possible. The traditional penetration method based on friction wheel or hydraulic penetration has the disadvantages of CPT probe rod slipping and inaccurate penetration stroke. To solve the above problems, Chinese patent CN 116558489 A discloses a penetration method based on electric drive screw rod screw transmission, which utilizes the characteristics of high precision, reversibility and high efficiency of screw rod transmission to realize constant speed penetration of CPT. However, after completing a single stroke penetration, the probe rod clamping hand needs to be reset, which causes long time stop and cannot continuous penetration, which seriously affects the quality of CPT data. In addition, the penetration method based on screw rod transmission is easily affected by the attachment of sediment particles in seawater, which affects the engagement between the screw rod and the screw nut. The screw rod is exposed to seawater environment, and the attached sediment particles can cause penetration process jam, unable to penetrate, and even cause serious accidents such as screw rod damage.

[0004] The fusion of short-term detection technology and long-term observation technology provides convenience for the prevention and control of geological disasters in offshore wind farms, that is, the CPT probe and the seabed dynamic response measuring sensor are fused into a single sensing unit. Based on the completion of the detection of engineering geological conditions in the field area by the CPT probe, the sensor is left in the seabed, and other types of sensors are used to continue monitoring the dynamic response parameters of seabed sediments. However, offshore wind farms are mostly built on muddy seabed, which has poor bottom bearing capacity, and the support frame carrying the CPT probe often has the characteristics of heavy weight and complex structure. The long-term stay of the support frame in the seabed can easily cause uneven settlement and flow disturbance of the equipment, which not only affects the quality of observation data, but also seriously threatens the safety of the equipment. Based on the reliable separation design of the support frame and the sensing unit, a new idea is provided for the accurate detection and long-term safe observation of the seabed engineering geological conditions in the offshore wind farm area.

[0019] Step two, installation of hoisting cable: pass the cable of the ship-mounted crane through the four lifting rings on the upper support frame, and insert the pins of the four separators into the pin holes along the limiting holes respectively; hoist the upper support frame, increase the friction between the pin and the upper support column in the transverse direction, loosen the pin, and the pin will not automatically pop out;

[0020] Step three, device lowering and bottoming: use the ship-mounted crane to put the device into the sea and land on the seabed, the pin is no longer under tension, and under the action of the spring force, the pin falls off, and the upper support frame and the lower support frame automatically separate;

[0021] Step four, first penetration stroke: after the device is bottomed, the penetration motor synchronously drives two positive and negative teeth bidirectional ball screws to rotate clockwise, and the upper clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward with the upper screw nut; at the same time, the lower clamping mechanism quickly releases the measuring unit and moves upward under the drive of the lower screw nut, i.e. the lower clamping mechanism resets, thereby the first stage penetration of the measuring unit is carried out;

[0022] Step five, second penetration stroke: when the upper clamping mechanism moves to the lowermost end of the positive thread, the upper clamping mechanism releases the measuring unit, and the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit; at the same time, the penetration motor synchronously drives two positive and negative teeth bidirectional ball screws to rotate counterclockwise, so that the upper clamping mechanism moves upward, i.e. the upper clamping mechanism resets, and the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward, thereby the second stage penetration of the measuring unit is carried out;

[0023] Step six, third penetration stroke: when the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward to the lowermost end of the reverse thread, the lower clamping mechanism releases the measuring unit, and the upper clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit;

[0025] Step eight, first tail end penetration stage: when the measuring unit penetrates to a certain depth, i.e. the data sampling cabin of the measuring unit moves to the lower end of the positive thread, the upper clamping mechanism cannot clamp the probe rod body of the measuring unit, the clamping motor of the upper clamping mechanism stops working, the uppermost end of the probe rod body of the measuring unit is clamped by the lower clamping mechanism, and the measuring unit continues to penetrate into the seabed;

[0026] Step nine, tail end penetration phase two: when the lower clamping mechanism moves the measuring unit downward to the bottom of the reverse thread, the sampling cabin part of the measuring unit still stays in the upper support frame; at this time, the measuring unit stops penetrating, the effective data recording of the CPT probe also stops, then the lower clamping mechanism releases the probe rod, the penetration motor synchronously drives the two bidirectional ball screws to rotate clockwise, and the lower clamping mechanism moves upward under the driving of the lower screw nut;

[0027] Step ten, tail end penetration phase three: when the bottom of the range increasing semi-cylinder of the lower clamping mechanism moves to the top of the sampling cabin, the lower clamping mechanism clamps, the penetration motor rotates counterclockwise, the bottom of the range increasing semi-cylinder of the lower clamping mechanism is pressed on the upper surface of the sampling cabin, and the measuring unit continues to penetrate, and when the sampling cabin moves completely into the lower support frame, the penetration motor stops moving, thereby completing the whole process of the measuring unit deployment;

[0028] Step eleven, in-situ observation phase: the ship-mounted crane lifts the upper support frame, and the upper support frame and the penetration system are recycled to the deck, and the lower support system and the measuring unit are left on the seabed surface and inside for long-term in-situ observation.

[0029] The utility model provides a kind of continuous penetration's separated in-situ observation device and its deployment method: solve the difficulty that observation probe rod cannot continuous penetration, utilize positive and negative teeth bidirectional ball screw driving principle, design double-layer penetration module, complete observation probe rod high-precision penetration deployment, while, continuous deployment of probe rod can be realized;

[0048] The penetrating system comprises a guide rod 201, a bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202, an upper clamping mechanism 203, a cross bracing plate 204, a top angular contact bearing 205, an upper screw nut 206, a middle angular contact bearing 207, a lower clamping mechanism 208, a fixed plate 209, a straight bevel gear 210, a penetrating motor 211, a bottom angular contact bearing 212, a lower screw nut 213, a first telescopic pipe 214, a second telescopic pipe 215, a third telescopic pipe 216, a fourth telescopic pipe 217, and a motor straight bevel gear 218. The upper ends of the four guide rods 201 of the same size are respectively welded to the lower surface of the top cross bracing 108, and the lower ends are respectively welded to the upper surface of the bottom cross bracing 109, which are used for the vertical movement of the upper clamping mechanism 203 and the lower clamping mechanism 208, and ensure the vertical penetration of the measuring unit. Two groups of the same top angular contact bearing 205 and bottom angular contact bearing 212 are respectively welded to the lower surface of the top cross bracing 108 and the upper surface of the bottom cross bracing 109, which are used for the support and positioning of the top and bottom of the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202. The bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 is composed of a positive thread 2021 and a reverse thread 2022. The two groups of bidirectional ball screws with positive and reverse teeth 202 are respectively located between the two groups of the same top angular contact bearing 205 and bottom angular contact bearing 212, and can realize the free rotation of the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 in the horizontal plane through the meshing between the screw rod body and the bearing. In addition, the positive thread 2021 and the reverse thread 2022 of the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 are respectively engaged with the upper screw nut 206 and the lower screw nut 213 on the surface, which can realize the movement of the two nuts in the vertical direction. When the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 rotates counterclockwise, the upper screw nut 206 and the lower screw nut 213 move in the opposite direction, and when the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 rotates clockwise, the upper screw nut 206 and the lower screw nut 213 move in the same direction. The straight bevel gear 210 is welded between the lower end of the bidirectional ball screw with positive and reverse teeth 202 and the position above the bottom angular contact bearing 212.

[0049] The upper clamping mechanism 203 and the lower clamping mechanism 208 comprise a support plate 2023, a first circular hole 2032, a clamping motor 2033, a clamping bearing 2034, a clamping lead screw 2035, a clamping lead screw nut 2036, a clamping hand 2037, a range-extending semi-cylinder 2038, and a second circular hole 2039, all of which are left-right symmetrical structures. The left-right components include the clamping motor 2033, the clamping bearing 2034, the clamping lead screw 2035, the clamping lead screw nut 2036, the clamping hand 2037, and the range-extending semi-cylinder 2038, all of which are identical. The upper clamping mechanism 203 and the lower clamping mechanism 208 are mainly used for clamping the rod body 401 of the measurement unit and providing a counterforce for the penetration of the measurement unit. Taking the left part of the upper clamping mechanism 203 as an example, two identical clamping bearings 2034 are welded to the lower surface of the support plate 2023, the clamping lead screw 2035 passes through the two clamping bearings 2034, the left end is welded with the clamping motor 2033, the clamping lead screw nut 2036 is sleeved on the clamping lead screw 2035 and located between the two clamping bearings 2034, and the lower end is welded with a semicircular clamping hand 2037; the range-extending semi-cylinder 2038 is fixed to the lower end of the clamping hand 2037 by screws, which can increase the penetration stroke of the measurement unit when the data acquisition cabin 404 of the measurement unit penetrates to the bottom of the upper support frame 101, i.e., the data acquisition cabin 404 is pressed into the lower support frame 106 by the lower surface of the range-extending semi-cylinder 2038. Due to the left-right symmetrical structure of the upper clamping mechanism 203, the clamping motors 2033 at both ends simultaneously drive the clamping lead screws 2035 at both ends to rotate. Based on the principle of lead screw transmission, the clamping lead screw nuts 2036 at the left and right ends drive the left and right clamping hands 2037 to move in opposite directions or in reverse directions, thereby realizing the clamping and loosening of the measurement unit. When the clamping lead screw 2035 rotates counterclockwise, the left and right clamping hands 2037 move in opposite directions, and when the clamping lead screw 2035 rotates clockwise, the left and right clamping hands 2037 move in reverse directions. In addition, the clamping lead screw 2035 of the upper and lower clamping mechanisms 203 and 208 has a long stroke, the clamping motor 2033 rotates at a high speed, and the clamping and loosening time is in the order of milliseconds, so the clamping and loosening time can be ignored.

[0050] The upper clamping mechanism 203 and the lower clamping mechanism 208 are connected with the guide rods 201, the upper screw rod nut 206 and the lower screw rod nut 213 through the support plate 2023.

The cross support plate 204 has the same structure as the support plate 2023, is located between the upper clamping mechanism 203 and the lower clamping mechanism 208, is at the middle position of the positive and negative tooth bidirectional ball screw 202, and is sleeved on the four guide rods 201 through four first circular holes of the same size. The inner ring of the middle angular contact bearing 207 is welded to the middle position of the positive and negative tooth bidirectional ball screw 202, and the outer ring of the middle angular contact bearing 207 is welded to the inner wall of the second circular hole 2039 of the cross support plate 204, so as to realize the connection between the middle angular contact bearing 207 and the cross support plate 204. The two fixing plates 209 of the same size and structure are located at the bottom of the four guide rods 201, are sleeved and welded on the two guide rods 201 at both ends respectively, and are sleeved on the straight bevel gear 210 at the bottom of the positive and negative tooth bidirectional ball screw 202 in the middle, and are used for fixing the bottom end of the fourth telescopic pipe 217.

[0051] The single positive and negative tooth bidirectional ball screw 202 is sleeved with four groups of telescopic pipes, which are used for preventing suspended sand particles from adhering to the screw rod thread. The upper end of the first telescopic pipe 214 is fixed to the outer ring of the top angular contact bearing 205, and the lower end is fixed to the upper surface of the upper screw rod nut 206. The upper end of the second telescopic pipe 215 is fixed to the lower surface of the screw rod nut 206, and the lower end is fixed to the upper surface of the middle angular contact bearing 207. The upper end of the third telescopic pipe 216 is fixed to the lower surface of the middle angular contact bearing 207, and the lower end is fixed to the upper surface of the lower screw rod nut 213. The upper end of the fourth telescopic pipe 217 is fixed to the lower surface of the lower screw rod nut 213, and the lower end is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing plate 209. In this way, during the rotation of the positive and negative tooth bidirectional ball screw 202, each telescopic pipe does not rotate, but only does the vertical extension and contraction movement.

[0052] The telescopic pipe includes the first telescopic pipe 214, the second telescopic pipe 215, the third telescopic pipe 216 and the fourth telescopic pipe 217.

[0053] The separator 301, as a key component connecting the upper support frame 101 and the lower support frame 106, comprises the upper support column 302, the lower support column 303, the bolt 304, the spring 305, the bolt hole 306, the square blocking strip 307 and the limiting hole 308. The four identical upper support columns 302 are welded at the bottom of the four corners of the upper support frame 101, and the lower end of the upper support column 302 is provided with the runway-shaped bolt hole 306. The lower support column 303 is welded at the top of the four corners of the lower support frame 103, and the upper support column 302 and the lower support column 303 are in concentric circle cooperation, and the two are connected through the bolt 304. The bolt 304 is welded with two square blocking strips 307 which are symmetrical and have the same size, and the square blocking strips 307 are used for limiting the bolt 304. The lower support column 303 is provided with the limiting hole 308 which has the same size as the square blocking strip 307, so that the square blocking strip 307 of the bolt can pass through. The bolt 304 is sleeved with the spring 305 at one end, which is used for the ejection and automatic separation of the bolt.

[0054] The measuring unit comprises the probe rod body 401, the annular limiting blocking block 402, the CPT probe 403 and the data acquisition cabin 404. The top cylinder of the measuring unit is the data acquisition cabin 404, and the lower end is welded with the smaller diameter probe rod body 401. The probe rod body 401 can be arranged with multiple types of sensors. The probe rod body 401 is welded with multiple annular limiting blocking blocks 402, which prevent the probe rod body 401 from slipping during the penetration process after being clamped by the clamping hand 2037. The bottom end of the probe rod body 401 is connected with the CPT probe 403, which is used for detecting the geological conditions of the offshore wind power field area.

[0055] A method for deploying a continuous penetration type split in-situ observation device, comprising the following steps:

[0056] Step one, device deck preparation: use the penetration motor to synchronously drive the two bidirectional ball screws to rotate counterclockwise, so that the upper and lower clamping mechanisms are reset, and then use the clamping motor to drive the left and right clamping hands of the upper and lower clamping mechanisms to move towards each other and clamp the probe rod body of the measuring unit. The lower edge of the clamping hand is close to the upper surface of the annular limiting blocking block, and the measuring unit is fixed.

[0057] Step two, installation of hoisting cable: pass the cable of the shipboard crane through the four lifting rings on the upper support frame, and four operators respectively insert the bolts of the four separators into the bolt holes along the limiting holes to realize the connection of the upper support frame and the lower support frame. At this time, since there is no phase difference between the square blocking strip and the limiting hole, the spring on the bolt will generate a counter force in the insertion direction. Therefore, the upper support frame needs to be slowly lifted, and the bolt will be subjected to the tension of the upper support column due to the gravity of the lower support frame. Thus, the friction between the bolt and the upper support column in the transverse direction increases, and the operator releases the bolt, so that the bolt will not automatically pop out, such as Figure 10 .

[0058] Step three, device lowering and bottoming: using the shipboard crane to put the device into the seawater and land on the seabed, because the bolt hole is "runway type", the bolt is no longer under tension, under the action of spring force, the bolt falls off, the upper support frame and the lower support frame realize automatic separation, like Figure 9 .

[0059] Step four, first penetration stroke: after the device is bottomed, the penetration motor synchronously drives the two forward and reverse tooth bidirectional ball screws to rotate clockwise, the upper clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward with the upper screw nut; at the same time, the lower clamping mechanism quickly releases the measuring unit and moves upward under the drive of the lower screw nut, that is, the lower clamping mechanism resets, thereby the first stage penetration of the measuring unit is carried out.

[0060] Step five, second penetration stroke: when the upper clamping mechanism moves to the lowermost end of the forward thread, the upper clamping mechanism releases the measuring unit, the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit; at the same time, the penetration motor synchronously drives the two forward and reverse tooth bidirectional ball screws to rotate counterclockwise, so that the upper clamping mechanism moves upward, that is, the upper clamping mechanism resets, the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward, thereby the second stage penetration of the measuring unit is carried out.

[0061] Step six, third penetration stroke: when the lower clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit and moves downward to the lowermost end of the reverse thread, the lower clamping mechanism releases the measuring unit, and the upper clamping mechanism clamps the measuring unit.

[0062] Step seven, cyclic penetration stage: steps four, five and six are repeated in turn to complete the continuous penetration of the measuring unit.

[0063] Step eight, first tail end penetration stage: when the penetration of the measuring unit reaches a certain depth, that is, the data sampling cabin of the measuring unit moves to the lower end of the forward thread, the upper clamping mechanism cannot clamp the probe rod body of the measuring unit, the clamping motor of the upper clamping mechanism stops working, the lower clamping mechanism clamps the probe rod body of the measuring unit above the upper ring limiting block of the top of the probe rod body, and the measuring unit continues to penetrate into the seabed.

[0064] Step nine, second tail end penetration stage: when the lower clamping mechanism moves to clamp the measuring unit and moves downward to the lowermost end of the reverse thread, like Figure 13 a, the data sampling cabin part of the measuring unit still stays in the upper support frame; at this time, the penetration of the measuring unit stops, and the effective data recording of the CPT probe also stops. Then, the lower clamping mechanism releases the probe rod, the penetration motor synchronously drives the two forward and reverse tooth bidirectional ball screws to rotate clockwise, and the lower clamping mechanism moves upward under the drive of the lower screw nut.

[0065] Step ten, third tail end penetration stage: when the lower clamping mechanism's range increasing half cylinder moves to the top of the data sampling cabin, like Figure 13b, the lower clamping mechanism is quickly clamped, the penetrating motor rotates counterclockwise, the range-adding semicylindrical bottom of the lower clamping mechanism is pressed on the upper surface of the sampling cabin, the measuring unit continues to penetrate, and when the sampling cabin completely moves into the lower support frame, the upper support frame and the penetrating system are recovered to the deck by the shipborne crane Figure 13 c, the penetrating motor stops moving, and thus the whole process of laying the measuring unit is completed.

[0066] Step eleven, in-situ observation stage: the shipborne crane lifts the upper support frame, the upper support frame and the penetrating system are recovered to the deck, the lower support system and the measuring unit are left on the seabed surface and inside, and long-term in-situ observation is performed Figure 13 d. The lower support frame has simple structure, is hollow in the middle, and has little influence on the data measured by the measuring unit.
