Description

Wave making test collection method and system based on large-scale wave flume TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wave simulation equipment, especially to a wave making test collection method and system based on large-scale wave flume. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for coastal deepwater port construction, port engineering is facing unprecedented challenges. The quality of the nearshore coastline resources in China is becoming increasingly scarce, forcing port construction to develop offshore or even use island regions, which has become an inevitable trend in the future. However, the construction environment of these offshore deepwater ports is complex and variable, especially the uncertainty of water depth, large waves, strong currents and foundation conditions, which brings great challenges to the safety and stability of the port. Among them, the impact of typhoon waves on deepwater breakwaters and wharf structures has become a key problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] In order to effectively respond to these challenges, it is particularly important to deeply study the interaction mechanism between large waves, structures and foundations. Due to the significant differences in the motion or deformation laws of the three and the extremely complex coupling between them, the traditional small-scale model research method is difficult to fully reveal the inherent law. Therefore, establishing a large-scale wave flume and conducting simulation research in the laboratory has become an effective solution.

[0004] In the laboratory environment, the wave flume and wave maker are the core equipment for simulating sea waves. The wave maker can generate various regular or irregular waves in the experimental flume according to the preset wave making parameters, thereby simulating the real marine environment. This simulation test is of great significance for the design and optimization of ships, port engineering and wave energy development devices, and is an indispensable research means in the field of port engineering and wave energy development.

[0005] However, although the existing technology has made significant progress in establishing large flumes and wave making equipment, there are still deficiencies in the data collection of wave making tests. The traditional data collection method often ignores real-time feedback and fine adjustment during the wave making process, resulting in the need to frequently adjust the wave making parameters, which seriously affects the efficiency and accuracy of the wave making test. Therefore, developing an efficient and accurate wave making test data collection method and system is of great significance to improve the overall level of laboratory wave simulation research.

[0030] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the electrical drive system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] Example 1: Figure 1 is a flowchart of a wave generation test acquisition method based on a large-scale wave tank provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the method specifically includes:

[0033] Determine the wave generation parameters for large-scale wave flume wave generation experiments;

[0034] The large-scale wave tank has dimensions of 456m × 5.0m × 12m.

[0035] Specifically, the wave generation parameters include wave generation type, wave generation height, and wave generation period;

[0036] The wave type is divided into two types: regular wave and irregular wave. The wave height is the maximum height of the wave. The wave period is the time required for two adjacent wave crests (or troughs) to pass through the same point.

[0037] In this embodiment, the wave generation parameters of the large-scale wave tank are determined based on the expected wave data required for the experiment. For example, in this simulated seawater scouring experiment, the wave type is a regular wave with a wave height of 3.5m and a wave period of 6s.

[0038] The wave-generating parameters are input into the wave-generating system, which drives the wave generator to generate waves.

[0039] The wave making system comprises an upper computer and a wave maker, and the wave maker comprises an electrical transmission system and a wave making plate, as shown in Figure 2, and the electrical transmission system comprises a power brake box, a busbar, a control cabinet, a servo driver, a servo motor, an encoder, an encoder line, a motor line and the like;

[0040] When the wave making test is performed, the wave making system is usually required to input the wave making type, the wave making wave height, the wave making period and the like, which are related to the wave making, the wave making system drives the electrical transmission system of the wave maker to drive the wave making plate to generate the wave which meets the test requirements.

[0041] Specifically, the wave making parameters are input to the wave making system, and the wave making system drives the wave maker to make waves, which is specifically as follows: during the wave making test, the wave making system calculates the wave signal in front of the plate of the target wave according to the input wave making parameters, and converts the wave signal in front of the plate of the target wave into the data of the movement speed and position of the wave making plate, and inputs the data into a D / A converter, the D / A converter converts the digital signal into an analog voltage signal required by a servo driver, the servo driver outputs a pulse signal to control the rotation speed and angle of a servo motor, a track drive linear motion unit drives a wave pushing plate to move in water, so as to realize wave making.

[0042] The servo motor adopts a stator-cooled asynchronous servo motor with an IP55 or above protection level, and is equipped with a separately driven fan, so that sufficient ventilation can be ensured even at zero rotation speed, the servo motor has a high overload capacity, a good acceleration capacity, and a durable, permanently lubricated bearing to adapt to the cantilever force and high-speed working conditions of the gear transmission.

[0043] The wave data generated by the wave making system is collected;

[0044] In this step, the wave height of the wave generated by the wave making system is collected by a wave height measuring system, the wave making period is collected by a wave measuring system, and the wave pressure is collected by a pressure collecting system.

[0045] The wave height measuring system is a dynamic capacitance type wave height measuring system with a range of 2m, the wave measuring system is a resistance type wave measuring system, and the pressure collecting system is a 2008 type micro point pressure collecting system.

[0046] The 2008 type micro point pressure collecting system can automatically collect the wave pressure and has a related processing function to process the collected pressure.

[0047] The wave data is compared with the expected wave data, and if the difference between the wave data and the expected wave data is greater than a preset threshold, the next step is entered.

[0048] If the wave data and the expected wave data differ by more than a preset threshold, the next step is: if any of the three wave data, i.e., the maximum wave height, the wave period, and the maximum wave pressure, of the wave data differs from the maximum wave height, the wave period, and the maximum wave pressure of the expected wave data by more than 5%, the next step is entered.

[0049] The motor encoder feedback signal and the wave board position signal are collected.

[0050] In this step, the servo driver directly collects the feedback signal of the motor encoder, so that a closed-loop control can be formed in the wave machine electrical transmission system, thereby improving the control accuracy and the stability of the wave system movement speed, and avoiding the motor step loss phenomenon.

[0051] At the same time, the sampling card is arranged to collect the movement position signal of the wave board in real time, so that a position closed-loop control can be formed in the wave machine external system to improve the positioning accuracy of the wave board.

[0052] After the wave is generated, the wave data is collected first, and then compared with the expected wave parameters. Since the wave data collection is relatively easy, the test effect can be determined through a relatively simple data collection process, so the data collection process of the wave test can be simplified. After the wave data and the expected data have errors, the signals of the wave machine electrical transmission system are collected to effectively locate the error causes.

[0054] A wave parameter determination module is configured to determine the wave parameters of the wave test of the large-scale wave flume.

The electrical transmission system comprises a power brake box, a busbar, a control cabinet, a servo driver, a servo motor, an encoder, an encoder wire, and a motor wire.

[0056] A wave data collection module is configured to collect the wave data generated by the wave system.

[0057] The data comparison module is configured to compare the wave data with expected wave data, and if a difference between the wave data and the expected wave data is greater than a preset threshold, the data acquisition module of the electric drive system is entered.
