Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling a magnetic self-protection (MES) system of a vehicle, which has a large-area, three-axis coil system consisting of current-carrying coils in three orthogonal vehicle axes to compensate for the earth's magnetic field at the vehicle location and the vehicle's movement in the earth's magnetic field (course, roll, Etc.). dependent magnetic field of the vehicle.
  • MES magnetic self-protection
  • the magnetic self-field contains a so-called permanent component and an induced component, which is due to the permanent magnetization of the vehicle when driving in the earth's field, its size changing depending on the course and the position of the vehicle axles to the horizon.
  • MES systems are well described in the literature (e.g. Kosack and Wangerin, "Electrical engineering on merchant ships", Springer Verlag 1956, pages 255-257, Fig. 234). They have a large, three-axis coil system consisting of coils through which current flows in three orthogonal axes to compensate for the vehicle's own magnetic field.
  • Every vehicle equipped with an MES system first experiences a basic setting of the MES system (initial measurement) based on a so-called magnetic measurement, in which an optimal compensation value is achieved by setting suitable winding currents and suitable coil switching states (ampere-turn numbers).
  • the Gyro MES system is a manual control. Errors in the operation of the controllers are therefore only recognized by manual control. In addition, the eigenfield changes are not recorded in the known system. The known MES system can therefore no longer meet today's demands with regard to the increased sensitivity of the detonators.
  • This known MES system has the following disadvantages: for technical reasons, the probe system, the probe triple, cannot be attached to the vehicle on site for the cheapest measurement with optimal measurement conditions, but only where it is structurally possible.
  • the measurement signal of the probes in the earth's field is the sole control signal for the MES system.
  • the system can therefore only be operated by hand, the so-called MES channels being controlled depending on the course. Probe errors are not easily noticed.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing the device described at the outset in such a way that it provides substantially better and more reliable magnetic compensation for vehicles than the compensation with conventional MES controls. It is important to achieve an optimal magnetic protection state and to limit the measurement and control of the magnetic protection state from the outside to a minimum in order to increase the operational safety of the system at the same time.
  • the invention is intended to be able to be used on highly protected vehicles with an amagnetic and electrically non-conductive outer skin, on highly protected vehicles with a non-magnetic but electrically conductive outer skin and on vehicles with a ferromagnetic outer skin.
  • the magnetic opposing fields to compensate for the magnetic effects occurring on or in the vehicle are controlled as a function of the geographical location, the course and the vehicle's own movement.
  • the heart of the process-controlled MES system is an intelligent control system with a data processor that uses data storage (database).
  • the magnetic fields of ferromagnetic objects such as internals and equipment in vehicles as well as their magnetic reaction in different operating states and when moving in the earth's field can be measured precisely. This also applies to the ferromagnetic or non-magnetic outer skin of the vehicle.
  • known data transmitters arranged inside the vehicle - without magnetic field probes - it is just as easy to determine the data about the course, location and own movement of the vehicle.
  • the data for the control of the MES system are stored in exceptional situations, so that the best possible setting is guaranteed even for a faulty system.
  • the data previously obtained via magnetic field probes for the regulation or control of the ampere-turn numbers of the compensation coils are measured via the stored geometric data in conjunction with measured values about the geographical location and direct measurement of the vehicle's own movement and the operating states by corresponding sensors inside the vehicle.
  • the great advantage of the device according to the invention is that there is no need for a magnetic field probe system which is mechanically very easily damaged, as a result of which operational reliability can be increased considerably.
  • the focus is no longer on the measurement and complicated compensation of probe signals, but on the actual regulation / control, with constant digital control. Operating states are taken into account without the detour via the probe reaction. The compensation must therefore be carried out optimally.
  • the process-controlled MES system has particularly good uses or advantages on underwater vehicles, since it is always problematic to attach the gastric field sensors to the outer body of the submarines at an exposed point.
  • FIG. 1-3 shows the large-scale, three-axis coil system of an MES system of a ship 1 (as an example of a vehicle as a ferromagnetic interference body).
  • This coil system consists of coils 2, 3, 4 in the three orthogonal axes XYZ.
  • Each coil 2 or 3 or 4 is usually divided into three sub-coils, which are no longer shown.
  • One coil section (additional designation P) is used to compensate for a permanent vehicle-dependent interference field component.
  • a second coil section (additional designation I) is used to compensate for an interference field component induced by the earth field. Since vortex fields are induced in metallic parts of the system as a result of the ship 1's own movement in the earth's field, it is compensated for with a third coil section (additional designation E).
  • the X-Y-Z coordinate system is assumed to be fixed, i.e. is aimed at the generator of the magnetic interference field - in the exemplary embodiment the ship 1.
  • FIG. 5 shows the ship 1 and the axes of the coordinate system in the same position as in FIG. 4, but now the isolines 12 of the magnetic field are shown in the case of pure longitudinal magnetization of the ship 1.
  • a measurement of the vertical field component would have the basic course marked with 13 below the ship 1.
  • FIG. 6 shows the ship 1 in a front view and correspondingly the y and z axes of the coordinate system.
  • lines 14 of the same field strength are entered schematically with pure transverse magnetization of ship 1. If one measures the vertical component of the magnetic field with such a magnetization in the depth MT, the field course marked with 15 would result.
  • a ship 1 Under normal circumstances, a ship 1 has both vertical and longitudinal and transverse magnetizations, i.e. in all three coordinate directions.
  • the Z component of the ship's field generated by this is independent of the heading angle.
  • the X component changes depending on the exchange rate according to a cosine function, which has its maximum value at the north and south rate and is zero at the east and west rate.
  • the Y component also changes depending on the course, but according to a sine function which has its maximum value at the east and west course and is zero at the north and south course. All three components also change their value in the event of roll and pounding movements of the ship.
  • the induced interference field components during lurching are shown in more detail in FIGS. 7-9. In the direction of its total, the earth's magnetic field generates the induced field vector S, which is divided into the components SZI and SYI according to the crossing angle of the ship 1.
  • the coils are in turn named according to their main magnetic directions of action.
  • the coils 2 according to FIG. 1, which are parallel to the YZ plane, are the L coils (L-MES winding), whose magnetic axes of action lie in the longitudinal direction of the ship (L corresponds to the longitudinal direction).
  • the coils 3 according to FIG 2 (only one is shown), which are parallel to the XY plane, are the V-coils (V-MES winding) with vertical magnetic axes of action (V corresponds to vertical).
  • V-MES winding V-coils with vertical magnetic axes of action (V corresponds to vertical).
  • A-coils A-MES winding whose magnetic direction of action lies in the Y-direction (A corresponds to athwort-ship).
  • each coil 2 or 3 or 4 consists of three sub-coils with the additional ranges P, I, E
  • an MES system has windings (sub-coils) referred to below: VI vertically acting induced field winding VP vertical field permanent winding VE vertically acting eddy current field winding LI longitudinal field-acting induced field winding LP fore and aft permanent field winding LE longitudinal eddy current field winding AI Inducted field winding acting across the ship AP transversal permanent field winding AE transversal eddy current field winding
  • the coil windings are fed with direct currents in different directions.
  • the positive current directions result from the positive directions of the X-Y-Z coordinate system shown in FIG.
  • the currents are set and the windings are switched so that the magnetic field of the hull, the so-called interference field, is optimally compensated for.
  • a controller or controller ensures that the set compensation is retained.
  • FIG. 5 corresponds to the coil system consisting of coils 2-4 and 6 represents the vehicle equipped with sensors (ship 1).
  • 7 denotes a measured value memory containing the current measured values and 8 denotes a database in which generally and long-term valid ones Data are stored.
  • the data from the measured value memory are stored in a data processor 9 7 and the data base 8 are processed to control values for the coil system 5.
  • the measured value memory 7 receives the current measured values from the measured value transmitters of the vehicle 6, whereby these measured value transmitters are not external magnetic field probes, but only transmitters for the detection of movements and the location of the vehicle.
  • the hardware core is an intelligent control system, whose data processor 9 uses an integrated control and regulating method and a database 8 of predefined parameters and measured influencing variables (measured value memory 7) to feed the current into the coil system 5 of the vehicle 6 controls based on a predetermined sequence control (control algorithms) so that optimal compensation is guaranteed.
  • the control and regulation procedure is to be used on vehicles with an amagnetic outer skin, on vehicles with a non-magnetic but electrically conductive outer skin and on vehicles with a ferromagnetic outer skin.
  • All the data that the process-controlled MES system requires for the control to achieve optimal compensation are stored in the database 8 or are determined inside the vehicle 6 by sensors that are not magnetic field probes.
  • the data in the database 8 are subdivided into data that are valid for all vehicles (generally valid data) and data that are typical of the vehicle and that apply for the long term.
  • the geographic data are valid for all vehicles.
  • the specific data of a vehicle are determined during the initial measurement. They show the dependency between the coil system 5 of the vehicle 6 in question and the influences of the earth field components.
  • the data processor 9 polls the influencing variables with a continuously running measuring program and thus supplies the control algorithms via the measured value memory 7 with the current data which are necessary for determining an optimal MES setting.
  • Groups 1 and 2 are general and long-term data and are therefore stored in database 8.
  • Group 3 is current measurement data and is therefore supplied to the measured value memory 7.
  • a constant measuring program runs in the process control of the intelligent control system, which detects the control data from the coil system 5 and the movement data of the vehicle 6 and feeds them to the measured value memory 7.
  • the movement data have a priority over the control data in triggering a reaction of the process control.
  • the movements of lurching or pounding can be recorded either by roller ball encoders or gyro encoders.
  • the yaw is detected by a gyro and treated like a course change.
  • the induced field Due to the constantly changing position of the vehicle in the earth's field, the induced field is also constantly changing. This also makes it necessary to change the counter-magnetic measures.
  • the reactions of the vehicle are through electrically simulated movements during the first measurement under the magnetic conditions of the measuring location have been determined. With the help of the determined reaction parameters and the earth field components of the location, the movement-correct magnetic reaction of the induced field MES becomes a linear control problem.
  • the second reaction to movements such as lurching, pounding and yawing is the generation of swirl fields in vehicles with large internals made of conductive material or vehicles which are made entirely or partially of conductive material. Movement in the earth's field creates induction currents in the conductive materials, so-called eddy currents, which in turn generate magnetic fields.
  • the swirl fields occur almost 90 ° out of phase and are dependent on the roll and pound frequency.
  • the subcomponents P permanent component
  • IV the vertical induced field generated by the vertical earth field component
  • IHN the horizontal induced field component generated by the horizontal earth field component on the north course
  • IHO the horizontal induced field component generated by the horizontal earth field component on the east course in the database 8th.
  • measurement location means the location of the measurement of the vehicle and “computer location” the current location of the vehicle.
  • the earth field components are to be specified in a uniform unit of measurement. Which unit is used when specifying the earth field components is irrelevant.
  • the vortex fields require their own compensation program, the reaction parameters of which in turn were determined during the initial measurement with electrically simulated movement.
  • To simplify the swirl field compensation should be operated with a second processor in master-slave mode.
  • the control algorithm intervenes when the motion sensor indicates a movement of the vehicle about its longitudinal and transverse axes.
  • the data processor 9 receives the current values of the pounding and rolling movements which are contained in a third and fourth memory sectors 7d and 7e. Via its output 9d, the data processor 9 supplies the necessary control signals for the compensation of the control field caused by the corresponding vehicle movements.
  • the effectiveness of the control algorithm by which the roll movements according to FIGS. 7-9 are included in the process-controlled MES system depends on the quality of the setting data (data subgroups 2.5 and 2.6) determined during the initial measurement.
  • the components of the self-magnetic field are measured in coordinate directions X, Y and Z and stored.
  • the coordinate system is object-fixed for easier handling.
  • the component points in the X direction to the bow of the object and thus to the top edge of the matrix, the component in the Y direction to the right side of the object and the matrix, and the component in the Z direction downwards.
  • the first step in solving the worldwide interference field calculation of an object is the calculation of the interference field on every course at the measuring location.
  • the permanent component P, the vertical induced field IV and the horizontal induced field components on the north or east course IHN and IHO are parameters of the calculation.
  • the horizontal induced field portion IHN on the north course behaves like the cos the course angle FI
  • the horizontal induced field portion IHO on the east course behaves like the sin of the course angle FI.
  • the permanent component P and the vertical induced field component IV caused by the vertical earth field component always remain the same. If the interference field of an object is to be calculated for a location with other geomagnetic conditions than at the measurement location, the horizontal factor HF and the vertical factor VF must be inserted in the calculation specification.
  • HST P + (IHN ⁇ COS FI) ⁇ HF + (IHO ⁇ SIN FI) ⁇ HF + IV ⁇ VF
  • the earth field values of the horizontal and vertical earth field for the measuring location can be firmly agreed in the computer program.
  • the earth field components of the locations for which the interference field of the object is to be calculated can also be present in the database 8 if used frequently. An entry for nonexistent data should be provided.
