Gas-liquid mixed passive buoyancy compensation method for profile float

PendingCN122126411AWaterborne vesselsBuoysBuoyancy regulationOcean observations
This invention discloses a passive buoyancy compensation method using gas-liquid mixing for profiling buoys, belonging to the field of buoyancy adjustment technology for marine observation buoys. This method constructs a passive buoyancy compensation system containing gas and liquid chambers, and adjusts the gas-liquid volume ratio to achieve linear and continuous adjustment of the system's equivalent compressibility coefficient, dynamically matching the compression characteristics of seawater at different depths. A mathematical model of the overall force on the buoy is established to determine system design parameters. Sensors are deployed to collect buoy depth and axial acceleration data, calculate motion parameters, predict and estimate the depth, and compare it with the target depth. When the deviation threshold is exceeded, an active fine-tuning judgment process is initiated. Active adjustment is disabled during the inertial-dominated phase, and during the non-inertial phase, the controller sends a fine-tuning command to the active buoyancy system to execute reverse buoyancy adjustment. The passive buoyancy compensation method using gas-liquid mixing provided by this invention can achieve low-power buoyancy control with passive adjustment as the primary method and active adjustment as a secondary method, effectively extending the underwater operational life of the buoy.
