Description
IN-SITU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEDIUM- AND LOW-
FREQUENCY ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES OF SEAFLOOR SEDIMENTS
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of seafloor measurement devices, in particular to an in- situ measurement system and method for medium- and low- frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments.
The seafloor is an important boundary of an underwater sound field. The acoustic properties of seafloor sediments have an important influence on a propagation law of an acoustic wave in seawater and a spatial structure of the underwater sound field. Measurement and research of the acoustic properties of the seafloor sediments have important application value in fields of marine sound field forecast- ing, underwater communication and navigation, seafloor topo- graphic mapping, and seafloor resource exploration. There are mainly two methods for direct measurement of the acous- tic properties of the seafloor sediments: laboratory meas- urement of a sediment sample and in-situ seafloor measure- ment. In-situ acoustic measurement of seafloor sediments is to place an acoustic instrument on the seafloor to directly measure a propagation property of an acoustic wave in the sediments. This method avoids disturbance to the sediments caused by sample sampling and transference. Further, a sur- rounding environment is not changed, so a measurement result is more accurate and reliable than laboratory measurement of a sample.
At present, a horizontal measurement method or a lon- gitudinal measurement method is usually used for an in-situ measurement system for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of the seafloor sediments. However, only a prop- agation property of a high-frequency acoustic wave in the sediments can be measured by using the two methods men- tioned-above, and a propagation property of a medium- and low-frequency acoustic wave in the sediments cannot be meas- ured.
The present disclosure aims to provide an in-situ meas- urement system and method for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments to overcome the disadvantages in the prior art, so as to measure a propaga- tion properties of a medium- and low-frequency acoustic wave in the sediments.

The present disclosure aims to provide an in-situ meas- urement system and method for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments to resolve a dis- advantage in the prior art, so as to measure a propagation property of a medium- and low-frequency acoustic wave in the sediments.
To make the foregoing objective, features, and ad- vantages of the present disclosure clearer and more compre- hensible, the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, an in-situ measurement system for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments in this embodiment includes a bearing frame 3-1. The bearing frame 3-1 is provided with a control cabin 6, a hydraulic cabin 7, a vertical probe penetrating mechanism 2, and a horizontal probe support mechanism 4. The top of the bearing frame 3-1 is provided with a lifting ring 3-2. A vertical probe penetrating mechanism 1 includes a vertical guide rail 2-4 fixed on the bearing frame 3-1. The top of the guide rail 2-4 is fixedly provided with a pene- trating cylinder 2-1. A cylinder rod of the penetrating cylinder 2-1 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 2-3,
The sliding block 2-3 slidingly cooperates with the guide rail 2-4, and the sliding block 2-3 is fixedly provided with a movable clamping cylinder 2-2. The bottom of the guide rail 2-4 is fixedly provided with a fixed clamping cylinder
2-5. The movable clamping cylinder 2-2 and the fixed clamp- ing cylinder 2-5 clamp a same vertical probe 1. The bottom of the vertical probe 1 is fixedly provided with two re- ceiving transducers 9 vertically spaced. The horizontal probe support mechanism 4 includes a driving device fixed on the bearing frame 3-1. An output shaft of the driving device is perpendicular and fixedly connected to one end of a horizontal probe 5. The driving device can drive the hor- izontal probe 5 to rotate with the output shaft as a central axis. The other end of the horizontal probe 5 is provided with a transmitting transducer 8. The receiving transducer 9 is a broadband transducer, and the receiving transducer 9 can receive a medium- and low-frequency acoustic wave.
Based on a coordinated action of the movable clamping cylinder 2-2, the fixed clamping cylinder 2-5, and the pen- etrating cylinder 2-1, the vertical probe penetrating mech- anism may continuously insert the vertical probe 1 down- wards, to insert the receiving transducer 9 into the sedi- ment to a sufficient depth. The horizontal probe support mechanism drives the horizontal probe 5 to a horizontal position, so that there may be a long enough distance between the transmitting transducer 8 and the receiving transducer 9. Further, a lifting cylinder 16 helps to implement lifting and lowering of the transmitting transducer 8 on the hori- zontal probe 5, to ensure that the transmitting transducer 8 can be close to a surface of the seafloor sediment, so that a measurement condition of the medium- and low-fre- quency acoustic properties can be met.
The horizontal probe 5 is also provided with the lift- ing cylinder 16. A cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 16 is perpendicular to the horizontal probe 5. The transmitting transducer 8 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 16. The horizontal probe support mechanism 4 further includes a horizontal position limit bracket 4-2 and a vertical position limit plate 4-1. The driving device is a hydraulic motor 4-3. The horizontal position limit bracket 4-2 is fixed on the bearing frame 3-1. The hydraulic motor 4-3 is fixed on the horizontal position limit bracket 4-2. The top of the bearing frame is provided with a re- ceiving hole corresponding to the horizontal probe 5, and the receiving hole is provided with a notch. When being in a vertical state, the horizontal probe 5 passes through the receiving hole. The vertical position limit plate 4-1 is detachably installed at the gap by using a bolt. When the measuring system is in a storage state, the vertical posi- tion limit plate 4-1 fixes the horizontal probe 5 in the receiving hole to prevent the horizontal probe 5 from swing- ing outward due to vibration or another reason. The bottom of the bearing frame 3-1 is provided with a quantity of feet 3-3. The top of the bearing frame 3-1 is provided with the lifting ring 3-2. The bearing frame 3-1, the lifting ring 3-2, and the feet 3-3 form a bearing platform 3.
The control cabin 6 is provided with a control circuit and an attitude sensor 10 electrically connected to the control circuit. The hydraulic cabin 7 is airtight. The hydraulic cabin 7 is provided with a penetrating cylinder pressure sensor 11, a hydraulic motor pressure sensor 12, and a lifting cylinder pressure sensor 13 separately elec- trically connected to the control circuit. The penetrating cylinder pressure sensor 11, the hydraulic motor pressure sensor 12, and the lifting cylinder pressure sensor 13 are respectively connected to corresponding oil pipes. Oil pipes of the penetrating cylinder 2-1, the hydraulic motor 4-3, and the lifting cylinder 16 all pass through the hydraulic cabin. Further, the control circuit is electrically con- nected to a display and control system through a cable. The sliding block 2-3 is provided with a displacement sensor 15 electrically connected to the control circuit. An output shaft of the hydraulic motor 4-3 is provided with an angle sensor 14 electrically connected to the control circuit.
Values detected by the sensors can be displayed in the display and control system. The attitude sensor 10 measures a real-time attitude of the bearing frame 3-1, to determine whether the attitude of the bearing frame 3-1 under water meets a measurement requirement. The angle sensor 14 measures a real-time swing angle of the horizontal probe 5, to determine whether the horizontal probe 5 swings to a horizontal or vertical position. The displacement sensor 15 measures a real-time insertion depth of the vertical probe.
The hydraulic motor pressure sensor 12 measures a real-time pressure of the hydraulic motor, and assists in determining whether the horizontal probe swings to a limit position. The lifting cylinder pressure sensor 13 measures a real-time pressure of the lifting cylinder 16, to determine whether the lifting cylinder 16 is lifted or down to a limit posi- tion.
The transmitting transducer 8 is a mosaic cylindrical transducer, is installed on the head of the horizontal probe 5, and can transmit an omnidirectional medium- and low- frequency acoustic wave with a frequency of 1-10 kHz in a radial direction. To meet a transmission requirement of an acoustic wave in a medium- and low-frequency band, the transmitting transducer 8 adopts a ring-shaped mosaic struc- ture. The transmitting transducer 8 is made of a plurality of piezoelectric ceramic strips and filler materials (metal splicing strips) which are bonded to form a ring. The top and bottom of the assembled piezoelectric ceramic ring are equipped with metal cover plates. The transmitting trans- ducer 8 can implement omnidirectional transmission in a ra- dial direction. This ensures that the transmitting trans- ducer 8 has a good sound source level in a plane formed by a receiving hydrophone, the vertical probe 1, the horizontal probe 5, and the transmitting transducer 8. The receiving transducer 9 is a broadband hydrophone embedded in the ver- tical probe 1. A sound-transmitting window is opened at an embedded position, so that an acoustic wave can be trans- mitted to the hydrophone. When the vertical probe 1 is in- serted, the receiving transducer 9 can be well protected by the vertical probe 1 to prevent the receiving transducer 9 from being damaged by pressure. Two receiving transducers 9 are installed at the bottom of the vertical probe 1 at a distance. The receiving transducer 9 has a relatively large beam opening angle in a vertical direction, ensuring good receiving sensitivity in an oblique sound ray direction. The two receiving transducers 9 both receive a medium- and low- frequency acoustic wave signal from the transmitting trans- ducer 8 for test data backup, so as to obtain medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of measured seafloor sed- iment.
Lengths of the vertical probe 1 and the horizontal probe 5 are both greater than 3 m. When the vertical probe l is inserted into the seafloor sediment to a maximum depth and the horizontal probe 5 is fully deployed to a horizontal position, a distance between the transmitting transducer 8 and each of the two receiving transducers 9 is greater than 3 m, so that a distance between receiving and transmitting is not less than two acoustic wave wavelengths (for a lowest frequency 1 kHz that can be measured by this system, an acoustic wave wavelength is about 1.5 m). This satisfies a measurement requirement of the acoustic properties of the sediment.
When the in-situ measurement system for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments in this embodiment is in a working state, the receiving trans- ducer 9 is inserted into the sediment at a depth of 3 m, and the transmitting transducer 8 is arranged on the surface of the sediment. A connecting line between the transmitting transducer 8 and the receiving transducer 9 is an oblique line at an angle to the surface of the sediment. The entire system implements oblique measurement.
The real-time display and control system helps to im- plement a real-time operation and monitoring of the meas- urement system on a deck. The display and control system allows a measurer to: determine parameters such as an actual insertion depth of the receiving transducer 9 and a swing angle of the transmitting transducer 8 based on an actual condition of seafloor topography and an actual attitude of the bearing frame on the seafloor; determine whether the receiving transducer 9 and the transmitting transducer 8 are in place based on a real-time measurement value of each sensor; and observe an acoustic properties curve of the sediment obtained by the measurement system in real time to determine a progress of a measurement operation.
This embodiment also provides an in-situ measurement method for medium- and low-frequency acoustic properties of seafloor sediments, including the following steps: (1) Connect a deck console to a photoelectric armored cable of a photoelectric winch; connect the photoelectric armored cable of the photoelectric winch to a control cir- cuit in a control cabin 6 on a bearing platform 3; and preset a transmission parameter and an acquisition parameter in a real-time display and control system of the deck console. {2) Through a real-time display and control unit of the deck console, debug the transmitting transducer 8, the re- ceiving transducer 9, and a signal processing module of the receiving transducer 9; debug insertion and lifting actions of the vertical probe 1 and the displacement sensor 15; debug a retracting action of the horizontal probe 5; and debug the penetrating cylinder pressure sensor 11, the hy- draulic motor pressure sensor 12, the lifting cylinder pres- sure sensor 13, the attitude sensor 10, and the angle sensor 14, (3) Lift the vertical probe 1 to a highest position, and reset a value of the displacement sensor 15 Lo zero; retract the horizontal probe 5 to a vertical state, and reset a value of the angle sensor 14 of the horizontal probe 5 to zero; and open the vertical position limit plate 4-1 of the horizontal probe 5 to ensure that the horizontal probe 5 can be retracted and released underwater. (4) Swing a hoisting device on a mother ship and release the photoelectric armored cable, to deploy the in-situ meas- urement system into the water. During this process, the device must be stopped shaking; and during deploying the measurement system, the horizontal probe 5 is kept in a vertical storage position, to prevent an impact force from damaging the transmitting transducer 8. (5) When the bearing platform 3 hits the seafloor, confirm whether an angle value transmitted by the attitude sensor 10 to the real-time display and control system is within an allowable range of the in-situ measurement. If the angle value transmitted by the attitude sensor 10 to the real-time display and control system is not within the al- lowable range of the in-situ measurement, lift the bearing platform 3 and repeat step (4) until an angle value trans- mitted by the attitude sensor 10 to the real-time display and control system is within the allowable range of the in- situ measurement. After confirming that the angle value transmitted by the attitude sensor 10 to the real-time dis- play and control system is within the allowable range of the in-situ measurement, turn on the penetrating cylinder 2-1 and slowly insert the vertical probe 1 into the sediment.
During this process, it is necessary to observe a real-time value of the displacement sensor 15 in the real-time display and control unit, to determine whether the vertical probe 1 is inserted in place; and observe a value of the penetrating cylinder pressure sensor 11, and when a pressure is too high, the vertical probe 1 can be repeatedly raised and lowered to reduce load of a hydraulic system. After insert- ing the vertical probe 1 in place, turn off the penetrating cylinder 2-1. (6) Turn on the hydraulic motor 4-3 of the horizontal probe support mechanism 4. During this process, it is nec- essary to observe a real-time value that is of the angle sensor 14 of the horizontal probe 5 and that is in the real- time display and control system, and observe a value of the pressure sensor, to determine whether the transmitting transducer 8 is in contact with the seafloor sediment. The horizontal limit bracket is installed at the bottom of the bearing platform 3. When the horizontal probe 5 is swung out to a horizontal position underwater, the horizontal limit bracket provides a limit for the horizontal probe 5, so that the horizontal probe 5 can no longer continue to swing out- ward. (7) The real-time display and control system sends a parameter and an instruction of acoustic wave transmission and acquisition to an acoustic wave transmission and acqui- sition system in the control circuit encapsulated in the control cabin 6. A transmission circuit generates a medium- and low-frequency waveform signal at a specified frequency.
The signal is amplified and transmitted to the transmitting transducer 8. The transmitting transducer 8 transmits the medium- and low-frequency acoustic wave signal, which is received by the receiving transducer 9 after propagating in the sediments. Then, an acguisition circuit acquires the signal. Upload acquired data to the real-time display and control system on the ship through a photoelectric composite cable, and save the data. Further, save the acquired data in a storage unit of the acquisition circuit as a backup. {8) After the horizontal probe support mechanism 4 is deployed, the following three states are used to comprehen- sively determining whether the transmitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment: (a) Whether a value of the angle sensor 14 of the horizontal probe 5 is near 90 degrees, and if yes, it means that the horizontal probe 5 is basically in a horizontal position. (b) Whether a value of the pressure sensor of the hy- draulic motor 4-3 is too large, and if it is too large, it means that the horizontal probe 5 or the transmitting trans- ducer 8 is placed in contact with the sediment. (c) Observe a received medium- and low-frequency acous- tic wave curve: When the transmitting transducer 8 does not reach the surface of the sediment, an acoustic wave propa- gation path is a water distance plus a sediment distance.
When the horizontal probe 5 slowly rotates to the horizontal position, the water distance gradually decreases, and the sediment distance gradually increases. This reflected on the acoustic wave curve 1s that a propagation property in the water becomes gradually smaller, and a propagation property in the sediments gradually becomes larger. When the acoustic wave curve is close to stable, it indicates that the trans- mitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment.
When the states (a) and (b) appear but the state (¢) does not appear, it means that the horizontal probe 5 reaches the surface of the sediment, but the transmitting transducer 8 dose not reach the surface of the sediment. At this time, the lifting cylinder 16 needs to be turned on to drive the transmitting transducer 8 to move vertically downwards until the transmitting transducer comes into contact with the sed- iment. During this process, the following two states are used to comprehensively determine whether the transmitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment: 1) Whether a value of the lifting cylinder pressure sensor 13 is too large, and if the value is too large, it means that the transmitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment. 2) Observe a received medium- and low-frequency acous- tic wave curve: When the transmitting transducer 8 does not reach the surface of the sediment, an acoustic wave propa- gation path is a water distance plus a sediment distance.
When the horizontal probe 5 slowly rotates to the horizontal position, the water distance gradually decreases, and the sediment distance gradually increases. This reflected on the acoustic wave curve 1s that a propagation property in the water becomes gradually smaller, and a propagation property in the sediments gradually becomes larger. When the acoustic wave curve is close to stable, it indicates that the trans- mitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment. {9) When the transmitting transducer 8 is in contact with the sediment, turn off the hydraulic motor 4-3 of the horizontal probe support mechanism 4 and the lifting cylin- der 16, and start to measure the acoustic properties and observe the received acoustic wave curve to complete the acoustic measurement.
(10) After the acoustic measurement is completed, turn off an acoustic wave transmitting module and an acoustic wave receiving module, and turn on the transmitting trans- ducer 8 and the lifting cylinder 16. After the transmitting transducer 8 is lift to the zero position, turn off the transmitting transducer 8 and the lifting cylinder 16. Turn on the hydraulic motor 4-3 of the horizontal probe support mechanism 4, and then turn off the hydraulic motor 4-3 after retracting the horizontal probe 5 to the vertical position.
When the horizontal probe 5 is in the vertical position, the vertical position limit plate 4-1 fixes the horizontal probe 5 in the receiving hole. At this time, when the hydraulic motor 4-3 does not provide driving force, the horizontal probe 5 may not fall to the horizontal direction. {11) Turn on the penetrating cylinder 2-1 and slowly lift the vertical probe 1 from the sediment. During this process, it is necessary to observe a real-time value of the displacement sensor 15 in the real-time display and control system to determine whether the vertical probe 1 is lifted in place; and observe a value of the pressure sensor, and when the pressure is too high, the vertical probe 1 is repeatedly raised and lowered to reduce load of the hydrau- lic system. When the vertical probe 1 is lifted in place, turn off the penetrating cylinder 2-1. (12) Retract the photoelectric armored cable, retract the bearing platform 3 to the mother ship, and install the vertical position limit plate 4-1.
