Design of Drive and Control System for “Bird”

Abstract

In order to control the rotation of hydrofoils of bird, further to control the position and orientation of marine seismic streamers, a design solution for drive and control system is provided in this paper. Worm Gear Drive mechanism is used as transmission mechanism, some sensors and intelligent meters are chosen to implement the data collection and communications. By using the configuration software of Kingview to realize the real-time monitoring. A test is carried out to testify the solution, the results of the test shows that the solution can meet the require of control for bird. But also some deficiencies need to be improved. Keywords-Bird, Marine seismic streamers, Hydrofoil Seas and oceans contain rich oil and gas resources. The development and utilization of the Sea resources, especially oil and gas resources, has been evoked more and more great concern as the problem of energy becoming increasingly prominent. In order to development offshore oil and gas resources, undersea geological structure must be detected first. The current widespread method is the marine seismic exploration. As an important means for exploration of oil and gas resources, the marine seismic exploration can infer underground strata properties and forms through observation and analysis of the artificial-stimulate seismic response, because the elasticity and density of underground medium are different. Fig.1 shows the marine seismic exploration system.(1)
