Description

Ice layer acoustic signal pickup apparatus
Technical Field
The invention belongs to an ice-based acoustic signal pickup device, and relates to equipment composition and a structure.
Background
The acoustic wave is the only known means for underwater remote detection and communication. This advantage is more pronounced in sea ice regions covered by ice layers having a relatively stable hydrographic environment. However, the covering of the ice layer also poses challenges for the detection of acoustic signals. One of the most troublesome difficulties is how to arrange the sound signal pick-up devices.
The existing ice-region underwater acoustic signal pickup equipment mainly comprises a sonar buoy, an underwater vehicle carrying sonar, a submerged sonar observation system and an ice-based surface layer acceleration pickup system. The ice zone environment is often complex and harsh, with ice layer thicknesses sometimes up to several meters and with the drift of the ice layer with ocean currents. The existing devices all have their own disadvantages and shortcomings when picking up underwater acoustic signals in the central ice region. Firstly, sonar buoys and underwater vehicle carrying sonars can only be arranged through open water areas or artificial ice tunnels, and the sonar buoys and the underwater vehicle carrying sonars are difficult to stay at expected positions of ice area cores and are limited by transportation conditions; the latter needs to adopt manpower or machinery to cut the ice cave, and this mode consumes a large amount of manpower and materials and has very big potential safety hazard. The bottom sonar is a preset system generally, and is inflexible in use position in an ice region and faces the problem that data is difficult to return. The ice-based sensor overcomes the defects of the method and provides a detection means of an underwater sound source in the environment.
The ice-based sensor most widely used at present is a three-component geophone. The solution applies equipment for seafloor geological exploration directly or with appropriate modifications to detect surface vibration acceleration on ice layers. Conventional sonde deployment is typically done using manual ice-based placement. According to the invention, a hot melting method is adopted to melt the seawater around the detector, and tight coupling is ensured after freezing. However, it is difficult to ensure that the pick-up device freezes vertically on the ice layer due to wind blowing and ice layer movement. Recently, in order to solve the problem of difficulty in arranging an acceleration sensor, a patent of "an ice-based underwater sound source detection device and a detection method thereof" designs a detection device which can be used for aerial delivery and describes a detection process. The basic principle of the above devices is to detect the physical quantity of the surface acceleration of the ice layer. However, the underwater acoustic communication and positioning frequency band is often characterized by high frequency and large bandwidth relative to seismic waves, and for example, the frequency range of 1kHz to 20kHz is often used for the underwater acoustic communication. For such a wide bandwidth, it is more complicated and costly to design a detector with the same detection capability. Furthermore, in this frequency band, acoustic pressure based hydrophones are superior in sensitivity to acceleration based geophones. Finally, geophones are poorly coupled and are difficult to operate quickly using standardized tools when actually deployed in ice zones, thereby increasing deployment time and cost.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides convenient ice-based underwater acoustic signal pickup equipment which is high in sensitivity and can be standardized based on acoustic-solid coupling, and aims to solve the problems that conventional underwater acoustic signal pickup equipment is inflexible in deployment, information is difficult to return through an ice layer, and an existing ice-based detector is low in detection sensitivity, low in deployment reliability and high in deployment cost of communication signals. The device can be used for acoustic research of an ice region in the center of the polar region, or used as a receiving base station for positioning and communication signals of an under-ice vehicle, and can also be deployed for a long time to monitor underwater non-cooperative targets.

Further, the membrane body structure is in threaded sealing connection with the lower end of the rigid shell.
Furthermore, the membrane body structure is a flexible membrane, the flexible membrane is fixed between the outer bottom rubber ring and the rigid shell in a threaded compression mode, and the joint is sealed through sealant.

5. The fluid-solid coupling liquid of the equipment selects low freezing point liquid with similar characteristic impedance to the ice layer, so that on one hand, the good conversion efficiency of elastic waves to pressure waves is ensured, and on the other hand, the equipment can adapt to low-temperature working environment.
