Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship demagnetization technology, and in particular to a ship demagnetization floating operation system. Background Technology
[0002] Ships are typically made of steel. Due to the Earth's magnetic field, magnetism accumulates on the hull, creating a magnetic field that can easily damage magnetic fuses. To improve a ship's magnetic protection capabilities and ensure navigational safety, newly built or repaired ships, as well as ships that have served a certain period, must be demagnetized. Therefore, the technological upgrading of ship demagnetization equipment has become an inevitable trend. The commonly used ship demagnetization technology works by using a demagnetizing cable to form a helical coil around the ship's outer circumference. Utilizing electromagnetic field theory, a large alternating current is transmitted through the demagnetizing cable to create an alternating magnetic field. This disrupts and weakens the inherent magnetism formed on the ship after prolonged use due to its interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, thus achieving demagnetization.
[0003] During ship degaussing operations, dedicated degaussing wharves or temporary cable wrapping are generally used. Dedicated degaussing wharves have high infrastructure requirements and are costly to build, and there are relatively few such wharves in China, leading to severe queues for degaussing. Temporary cable wrapping requires selecting a suitable sea area and temporarily wrapping a working coil around the ship's exterior for magnetic treatment. This method requires a large amount of manual labor, is very slow, and easily damages the degaussing cable, rendering the ship immobile. Even for small-tonnage ships, degaussing each vessel takes 2-3 days. Furthermore, because the ship is bound to the cable during degaussing, it is difficult to maneuver in emergencies, putting it in a very dangerous situation. While this problem is not prominent under normal circumstances, it presents a serious challenge in emergency situations or unforeseen events, requiring the degaussing of a large number of ships in a short period.
[0004] It is evident that existing technologies suffer from problems such as low demagnetization efficiency and poor maneuverability of ships during the demagnetization process. Utility Model Content

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] This utility model provides a ship demagnetization buoyancy operation system 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3It includes a docking platform 11, a cable frame 12, a magnetic sensor 13, and a cable coil 120.
[0040] There are multiple cable frames 12, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the dock platform 11, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dock platform 11 has a sinking chamber 110, and the cable coil 120 is wound along the inner wall of the cable frame 12 and the sinking chamber 110 to form a closed-loop spiral coil; during demagnetization, the ship to be demagnetized 2 is located inside the closed-loop spiral coil.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, and see Figure 1 It is understood that there are multiple magnetic sensors 13, which are located at the bottom of the sunken chamber 110 and along the distribution direction of the cable frame 12 (i.e., Figure 2 (In the direction indicated by the middle arrow) Array settings.
[0042] Those skilled in the art will understand that the bottom of the sinking chamber 110 can be understood as the dock bottom of the dock platform 11, the side wall of the sinking chamber 110 can be understood as the dock wall of the dock platform 11, and the remaining dock platform area outside the sinking chamber 110 can be understood as the dock top of the dock platform.
[0043] The floating demagnetizing system 1 provided by this utility model offers a more portable and flexible operating environment for ship demagnetization, eliminating the need for manual on-site coil winding, greatly reducing demagnetization work, improving demagnetization efficiency, and reducing ship demagnetization dwell or queuing time. Furthermore, the floating demagnetizing system provided by this utility model avoids physical contact between the spiral coil and the ship 2 to be demagnetized through a pre-set closed-loop spiral coil, or in other words, avoids the closed-loop spiral coil from winding around the hull surface of the ship 2 to be demagnetized, thereby improving the ship's maneuverability. The system can exit the demagnetization process at any time without disassembling the coil, greatly improving rapid deployment efficiency and solving emergency demagnetization needs.
[0044] All of the above structures and equipment are made of non-magnetic or low-magnetic materials, such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel.
[0045] In one embodiment, the cable frame 12 includes multiple frames, and those skilled in the art will understand that a frame is a frame facade composed of columns and beams in a steel structure. Figure 3 As shown, the cable frame 12 is a U-shaped bracket, with both ends of the U-shaped bracket fixed to the platform surface outside the sinking chamber 110 in the dock platform 11. In other alternative embodiments, the cable frame 12 can also be other shapes, such as C-shaped, straight, or zigzag, as long as the cable coil can be wound on it to form a closed-loop helical coil, it does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
[0046] Those skilled in the art will understand that the dock platform 11 is liftable and has a water storage space inside, and the height of the dock platform 11 at sea level can be adjusted by changing the amount of water stored.
[0047] The cable coil 120 can be hung on the cable frame 12, or it can be tied to the cable frame 12 by external connectors such as metal fixing rings or fiber binding straps. In one embodiment, the cable frame 12 is provided with a first cable groove 141, which is located on the inner side of the cable frame 12. A second cable groove 142 is provided on the inner wall of the recessed chamber 110, and the cable coil 120 is installed in the first cable groove 141 and the second cable groove 142. In one embodiment, both the first cable groove 141 and the second cable groove 142 are fiberglass cable grooves.
[0048] The cable coil can be wrapped by the first groove 141 and the second groove 142 to protect it from damage and improve its service life.
[0049] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 The multiple magnetic sensors 13 include multiple magnetic sensor groups, and each magnetic sensor group includes multiple magnetic sensors 13. They are distributed along a direction perpendicular to the cable frame (e.g., Figure 1 (As indicated by the middle arrow), multiple magnetic sensors 13 in each magnetic sensor group are distributed on both sides of the corresponding cable frame 12. Alternatively, it can be understood that a row of magnetic sensors is distributed on both sides of each cable frame 12. In other alternative embodiments, multiple magnetic sensors 13 are arranged at equal intervals along the bottom of the sunken chamber 110 to form a sensor array.
[0050] During demagnetization, a constant current is passed through the cable coil. This current generates a magnetic field. When the direction of this magnetic field is opposite to the original fixed magnetic field inside the hull, the magnetic field magnetizes the ship from the opposite direction, eliminating its original inherent magnetism. Magnetic sensor 13 detects the current magnetic field data of the ship to be demagnetized (2) and sends this data to the controller. The controller controls the electromagnetic coil to demagnetize the ship (2) based on the detected current magnetic field data and the preset target magnetic field data. Specifically, the controller can control the magnitude of the current or the duration of the energization of the electromagnetic coil. After demagnetization is complete, the magnetic sensor 13 can be used again to detect the ship's magnetic field data to determine if the target value has been achieved.
[0051] In a further implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 also includes a bollard 15, which is installed on the platform surface (or dock top) outside the sinkhole of the dock platform and located between two adjacent cable frames 12. The bollard 15 is used to fix the ship in the target position during the degaussing process.
[0052] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 1-3 Buffer pads 16 are provided on both opposite side walls (or dock walls) of the sinkhole 110. The buffer pads 16 are used to protect the vessel from damage caused by collisions when it sways due to wind and waves during demagnetization. The buffer pads 16 can be, for example, rubber fenders. In a further embodiment, there can be multiple buffer pads 16; specifically, at least one buffer pad 16 is provided between each pair of adjacent cable frames 12.
[0053] In one implementation, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the ship demagnetization buoyancy operation system 1 also includes a tugboat winch 17, which is located on the platform surface outside the sinking chamber 110 in the dock platform 11, along the distribution direction of the cable frame 12 (e.g., Figure 1 or Figure 2 (In the direction indicated by the middle arrow), the tugboat winch 17 is located at the bow and / or stern of the dock platform 11.
[0054] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ship demagnetization buoyancy operation system 1 also includes a connecting bridge 18, which runs along the distribution direction of the cable frame (e.g., Figure 1 (As indicated by the middle arrow), the connecting bridge 18 is located at the head and / or tail of the dock platform 11. The connecting bridge 18 includes a first bridge section 181 and a second bridge section 182. One end of the first bridge section 181 is rotatably connected to the first side wall of the sinking chamber 110, and one end of the second bridge section 182 is rotatably connected to the second side wall of the sinking chamber 110. The first side wall and the second side wall are opposite to each other.
[0055] The connecting bridge 18 can switch between an open state and a closed state under external force. Figure 1 The diagram shows the merged state. When the connecting bridge 18 is in the open state, the second end of the first bridge segment 181 is away from the second end of the second bridge segment 182. When the connecting bridge 18 is in the merged state, the second end of the first bridge segment 181 is connected to the second end of the second bridge segment 182, as shown. Figure 1 The enclosed area forms a triangular bridge. In one embodiment, the second end of the first bridge segment 181 and the second end of the second bridge segment 182 are both hinged to the corresponding sidewall of the sunken chamber 110. In other alternative embodiments, they can also be rotatably connected in other ways, as long as the relative movement of the second ends of the first bridge segment 181 and the second ends of the second bridge segment 182 can be satisfied, it does not depart from the scope of the present utility model embodiment.
[0056] The connecting bridge 18 is used to facilitate the movement of operators on the dock platform 11 during ship demagnetization, reducing the walking distance during operation. For example, after the dock platform 11 is sunk, it connects the tops of the dock on both sides, providing a manual operation channel, which helps to improve the efficiency of ship demagnetization. When the demagnetization is finished, the connecting bridge can be adjusted to the open state to allow the ship to sail out of the dock.
[0057] For further implementation methods, please refer to Figures 4a to 4d The ship demagnetization floating operation system 1 also includes an anchoring device 19, and a dock platform 11 is connected to the anchoring device 19 and fixed to the target sea area through the anchoring device 19.
[0058] The following is an example of a ship demagnetization process. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4a to 4d and combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that during the ship degaussing process, the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 is positioned in the target sea area via the anchoring device 19, and the operators can travel to and from the target area via the connecting temporary bridge 18. To minimize the impact of sea conditions, the angle between the ship degaussing floating operation system 1 and the main wave direction is kept as small as possible. Figure 4b As shown, when the degaussing vessel 2 sails to the vicinity of the ship degaussing buoyancy operation system 1, two cables are extended from the bow and connected to the tug winch 17 of the ship degaussing buoyancy operation system 1. With the assistance of the tugboat 3, the docking angle is controlled. Then, as... Figure 4c As shown, the vessel 2 to be degassed slowly enters the dock under the traction of the tug winch 17, while the tugboat 3 assists in adjusting the vessel's docking angle from the outside. Then, as... Figure 4d As shown, after the degaussing vessel 2 has fully entered the dry dock, the tug winch 17 stops working. Once the bow cable, cross cable, and stern cable of the degaussing vessel 2 are secured to the mooring bollards 15 of the vessel's degaussing floating operation system 1, preparations for the degaussing operation can begin simultaneously. After the degaussing operation is completed, the vessel, assisted by the tugboat 3, slowly departs from the vessel's degaussing floating operation system 1.
[0059] The floating demagnetizing system for ships provided by this utility model is easily deployable with the assistance of tugboats, making it particularly suitable for demagnetizing ships in emergency situations. It offers significant emergency benefits. Since it eliminates the need for temporary cable wrapping around the ship's hull, it reduces the workload of demagnetizing personnel, shortens the demagnetizing time, and achieves excellent demagnetizing results. Once the floating system is built and operational, it requires minimal supporting infrastructure, can be repeatedly deployed, and has low maintenance costs, resulting in good economic benefits.
[0060] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
