  • 摘要: 针对深水沉船打捞作业中传统穿引过底钢缆方法存在的技术瓶颈,引入水下高压焊接技术,提出并研制了一套水下高压干式焊接打捞装备系统. 该系统由舱体、推进、浮力姿态调节、密封、机械臂、高压焊接、压力调节及辅助等八大子系统组成,拟在水下300 m以浅环境内实现侧向吸附密封、构建干式焊接环境,并通过六自由度焊接机器人完成沉船侧板与眼板焊接作业. 为验证装备可靠性,采用有限元方法对焊接舱舱体结构进行强度校核.建立高压吸附密封圈的超弹性本构模型并开展数值仿真,同时开展了高压吸附密封性能试验及水池焊接验证试验.结果表明,舱体结构强度满足300 m水深作业要求,橡胶密封圈可在3 MPa高压环境下实现可靠密封,水池焊接试验验证了装备及机器人水下焊接作业的可行性. 为深水沉船打捞提供了全新的技术途径,对推动救助打捞行业技术升级具有重要意义.

     

    Abstract: In response to the technical bottlenecks of the traditional through-bottom steel cable method in deep-water shipwreck salvage operations, underwater hyperbaric welding technology was introduced, and a complete underwater hyperbaric dry welding salvage equipment system was proposed and developed. The system consists of eight major subsystems: chamber, propulsion, buoyancy and attitude regulation, sealing, robotic arm, hyperbaric welding, pressure regulation, and auxiliary subsystems. It is designed to achieve lateral adsorption sealing, construct a dry welding environment at water depths shallower than 300 m, and complete the welding operations between the shipwreck side plate and the eye plate using a six-degree-of-freedom welding robot. To verify the reliability of the equipment, finite element strength verification was conducted on the welding chamber structure; a hyperelastic constitutive model was established for the hyperbaric adsorption sealing rubber ring, and numerical simulation was performed. Additionally, hyperbaric adsorption sealing performance tests and pool welding verification tests were carried out. The results indicate that the structural strength of the chamber meets the operational requirements at a water depth of 300 m; the rubber sealing ring can achieve reliable sealing under a hyperbaric environment of 3 MPa; the pool welding tests verify the feasibility of the equipment and the robot for underwater welding operations. It provides a brand-new technical approach for deep-water shipwreck salvage and is of great significance for promoting the technological upgrading of the Chinese rescue and salvage industry.
