Description

  The present invention relates to a hull demagnetizing current calculation method and apparatus for calculating a demagnetizing current value to be supplied to each degaussing coil provided in a magnetic body (for example, made of steel).

  The external magnetic field of a ship having a hull made of a magnetic material such as steel is roughly divided into a permanent magnetic field by the steel material itself and an induced magnetic field that is induced by the earth's magnetic field. Is forming.

  In order to minimize these external magnetic fields generated from a ship, a demagnetizing current value for energizing each degaussing coil has been determined as follows. That is, first, in a magnetic measuring station in which a plurality of magnetic detectors are laid on the bottom of the measurement sea surface, a ship is sailed or moored on the array line of the magnetic detector groups, and each degaussing coil under the bottom of the ship The magnetic field outside the hull when not energized is measured by each magnetic detector. On the other hand, the magnetic field generated by energizing each degaussing coil installed in the hull is measured by each magnetic detector. Then, the staff of the magnetic measurement station trially combines the hull magnetic field when each degaussing coil is de-energized with the hull external magnetic field generated by each degaussing coil, so that the hull external magnetic field under the ship bottom is below the reference value. The demagnetizing current value is determined so that

  As another method, for example, the M coil for demagnetizing the hull magnetism in the vertical direction is adjusted for the first time, and the L coil for demagnetizing the hull magnetism for the tail line direction is adjusted for the second time. Patent Documents 1 and 2 below propose a method for adjusting the A coil for demagnetizing the ship's magnetic field in the saddle direction for the third time.

JP 2006-335255 A JP 2007-245791 A

  Determining the demagnetizing current value by the staff at the above magnetic measurement station is sufficient if the external magnetic field of the hull in the degaussing state (when each degaussing coil is energized) is below the reference value, so there is a large error compared to the ideal demagnetizing current value. In addition, there is a problem that a demagnetization current value varies depending on the skill of the staff.

  In addition, the magnetic detector is installed at a fixed depth below the bottom of the ship, and the measured value is used as it is for the adjustment of the demagnetizing current value. No adjustments can be made to minimize the external magnetic field.

  On the other hand, in the methods of Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, the M coil is adjusted for the first time, the L coil is adjusted for the second time, and the A coil is adjusted for the third time. For example, the demagnetizing current value of the M coil adjusted for the first time is not the optimum value after the third setting of the A coil. Therefore, the hull external magnetic field in the demagnetized state based on the calculated demagnetizing current values of all the coils tends to have a large error from the demagnetized state hull external magnetic field based on the optimum demagnetizing current value.

  In order to determine the order of degaussing current setting, each degaussing coil must be prioritized, but the degaussing effect is greatly influenced by this priority. This can only be determined empirically, but in the case of adjusting various degaussing coils such as a gradient coil in addition to the M coil, L coil, and A coil, it is very difficult to determine the priority. Furthermore, demagnetization current adjustment that minimizes the hull external magnetic field at an arbitrary position cannot be performed.

(First embodiment)
In this embodiment, a plurality of magnetic detectors (for example, three-axis magnetic detectors in the X, Y, and Z directions (three orthogonal axes)) are periodically installed at a magnetic measuring station having facilities laid on the seabed of the measurement sea surface. For example, the hull external magnetic field expansion coefficient in the X, Y, and Z directions is obtained from the measured value of the hull external magnetic field at the time of magnetic measurement, for example, by the expansion formula of the long spherical harmonic function. Estimate the hull external magnetic field when each degaussing coil is not energized (non-demagnetized state) on a constant line. On the other hand, from the measured value of each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field that is a magnetic field per unit current generated by each demagnetizing coil at a magnetic measurement station, for example, obtain each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field expansion coefficient by an expansion formula of a long spherical harmonic function, Estimate each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field on the adjustment surface or adjustment line. Then, by using an optimum parameter search method, a demagnetizing current value that minimizes the hull external magnetic field when each demagnetizing coil is energized (demagnetized state) on the adjustment surface or adjustment line is specified.

FIG. 1 is a procedure explanatory diagram of a method for calculating a demagnetizing current of a hull according to the first embodiment of the present invention. First, a non-degaussed hull external magnetic field is measured by a plurality of magnetic detectors installed on the seabed or the like at a magnetic measurement station or the like (ST1). Similarly, to measure the degaussing coil effect magnetic a field per unit current generated when energized to degaussing coil which is installed in a hull for all demagnetizing coils C ₁ ~C _n (ST2). In addition, in the degaussing coils C _{1 to} C _n , in addition to those that generate magnetic fields in the tail line direction, the horizontal direction, and the vertical direction that are laid to cover the entire hull, for example, a local external magnetic field near the bow is generated. Some were laid to degauss. The following steps are basically realized by the cooperation of a computer and software.

Next, a setting surface or a setting line to be demagnetized is set (ST3). It should be noted that this adjustment surface or adjustment line can be arbitrarily set not only at the lower part of the hull, but also at the upper part, front part, rear part, right part, left part and others. Subsequently, based on the hull external magnetic field obtained in ST1, the non-demagnetized hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D} on the setting surface or setting line set in ST3 is estimated and calculated by the inverse method (ST4). . Similarly, based on each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field obtained in ST2, the demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field vectors H _{C1 to} H _Cn on the adjustment surface or the adjustment line are estimated and calculated by an inverse method (ST5).

  The inverse method used in ST4 and ST5 is a well-known analysis method based on actual measurement values. The long spherical harmonic expansion method, the spherical harmonic expansion method, the point magnetic dipole superposition method (the hull external magnetic field is arranged at an arbitrary position) A method of summing the magnetic fields of a plurality of magnetic dipoles). Here, as an example, the case of using the long sphere harmonic function expansion method will be described.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a mathematical model used in the long sphere harmonic function expansion method of the present embodiment. Here, the hull is regarded as a spheroid, the coordinate axes are defined as the origin of the hull center, the forward direction of the tail line is defined as the X axis, the starboard direction is defined as the Y axis, and the vertical downward direction is defined as the Z axis. Next, place the point C _1, C ₂ on both sides of the position on the X-axis relative to the origin, they were the focus, inscribed spheroidal considers a hull, a confocal ellipsoidal surface circumscribing xi] _i , ξ _e are provided with spheroid coordinates (ξ, η, φ). A ship body made of steel material of a ship can be replaced with a hollow spheroid model in this way. The external magnetic field of such a hollow spheroid model (hull) is swirled if the hull is present in a spatial region that does not include conduction current. For this reason, the scalar potential or magnetic potential of the magnetic field outside the hull satisfies the Laplace equation.

Here, when the spheroid coordinates (ξ, η, φ) of the point P are expressed by rectangular coordinates (x, y, z),

It becomes. Using this coordinate system, the solution of Laplace's equation, that is, the external magnetic potential F _e (ξ, η, φ) with ξ> ξ _e is

It can be displayed by infinite series expansion of the long spherical harmonic function. Here, since the expression of each component Hx, Hy, Hz of the hull external magnetic field is defined by the negative derivative of Equation 2,

It becomes.

Each expansion coefficient of the hull external magnetic field can be obtained by applying the value of the hull external magnetic field measured in ST1 to Equations 3 to 5 and using the least square method. Then, from each expansion coefficient, the hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D} in the non-demagnetized state on the adjustment surface or adjustment line set in ST3 is estimated and calculated (ST4).

Similarly, each expansion coefficient of the degaussing coil effect magnetic field due to each demagnetizing coil C ₁ -C _n, fitting the values of the demagnetizing coils effects a magnetic field measured by ST2 in Equation 3-5, be determined by the least square method it can. Then, each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field vector H _{C1 to} H _Cn on the adjustment surface or adjustment line set in ST3 is estimated and calculated from each expansion coefficient (ST5).

Since all of them are known techniques, a detailed description thereof is omitted, but here, an example of adaptation when the steepest descent method is used will be described as an example.

First, the current values i _{C1 to} i _Cn of each degaussing coil are temporarily set (ST6). Next, the demagnetized hull external magnetic field at the temporarily set current value is calculated by Equation 6 (ST7). For example, the maximum value of the demagnetized hull magnetic field is stored, and the current value of each degaussing coil is changed little by little until the value gradually decreases and finally converges. The current value is obtained, and the optimum demagnetization current value and the ship body external magnetic field in the optimum demagnetization state are output (ST8). Note that the hull external magnetic field vector HF _{/ D} is the minimum, for example, set in ST3, which is one of the x component, y component or z component of the hull external magnetic field vector HF _{/ D} , or the mean square of these three components. It means that the average value or the maximum value on the settling surface or the setting line is the minimum.

  According to the present embodiment, the inverse method based on each degaussing coil effect magnetic field which is a magnetic field per unit current generated by each degaussing coil and a non-degaussing hull external magnetic field measured by a magnetic detector outside the hull To estimate the non-demagnetized hull external magnetic field and each demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field on the arbitrarily set adjustment surface or adjustment line, and the demagnetization state hull external magnetic field on the adjustment surface or adjustment line is minimized. Since the degaussing current value is specified using the optimum parameter search method, the degaussing current value that minimizes the external magnetic field of the hull on the arbitrarily set adjustment surface or adjustment line is minimized without being affected by the skill and experience of the operator. It can be derived in time.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a procedure explanatory diagram of a method for calculating a demagnetizing current for a hull according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Each step is basically realized by the cooperation of a computer and software. First, a three-dimensional calculation model of a hull corresponding to numerical simulation such as an integral equation method or a finite element method is created (ST9). The three-dimensional calculation model includes a plurality of degaussing coil models provided in the hull. Next, a setting surface or a setting line to be demagnetized is set (ST10). This setting surface or setting line can be set not only for the lower part of the hull, but also for the upper part, front part, rear part, right part, left part and others. Subsequently, the non-demagnetized hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D} on the adjustment surface or adjustment line set in ST10 is estimated and calculated by numerical simulation (ST11). Similarly, the demagnetizing coil effect magnetic field vectors H _{C1 to} H _Cn on the adjustment surface and the adjustment line are estimated and calculated by numerical simulation (ST12). Thereafter, ST13 to 15 are the same as ST6 to 8 described above.

In addition, regarding the estimation calculation of the hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D} in ST11, a numerical analysis method such as the integral equation method or the finite element method creates a numerical calculation model of the hull and applies induced magnetism by applying geomagnetism to the hull. While it is possible to calculate, the problem is how to calculate the permanent magnetism of the hull. However, in reality, the hull is demagnetized to remove permanent magnetism (a number of hull windings are attached to the hull, and the current polarity is changed to positive and negative while the current is gradually reduced to energize the hull. (That is, demagnetization processing (applying a magnetic field)) is performed, so that the hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D} can be estimated and calculated with the permanent magnetism of the hull being zero. Alternatively, the residual permanent magnetism after the demagnetization process may be estimated and calculated by simulation, and the calculated value may be used as the value of the permanent magnetism of the hull to estimate and calculate the hull external magnetic field vector H _{N / D.}

  According to the present embodiment, there is an advantage that the hull external magnetic field measurement and the degaussing coil effect magnetic field measurement at a magnetic measurement station or the like are not required as compared with the first embodiment. For this reason, it is possible to derive a demagnetizing current value to be applied to each degaussing coil during the construction of the hull or at the design stage.

  The present invention has been described above by taking the embodiment as an example. However, it is understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to each component and each processing process of the embodiment within the scope of the claims. By the way. Hereinafter, modifications will be described.
