Research On Modularization And Parameterization Of Offshore Transshipment Platform

Nowadays,the function of the offshore transshipment platform is single,which can not meet the diversified needs of customers.As a result,the offshore transshipment platform can not meet the application needs of China’s port trade,sea supply,military and other related fields.Due to the requirements of it’s function and productivity,the offshore transshipment platform requires the combination and integration of different sizes and functions of the platform and the transshipment equipment.This paper studies and analyzes the partition method of modularization,and on the basis of considering the system structure and working condition of the offshore transshipment platform,carries on the structure-function-physical module partition in view of the complexity of the conveyer system.Then,using the parameterized design method driven by Pro/E equations,the parametric modeling of parts modules,component modules,and the overall model of the offshore transshipment platform is established,and then a module database is established.Finally,using EDEM software to simulate the flow of materials in the platform mode,it is verified that the rationality of the overall operation of the platform structure model.The research results greatly improve the design efficiency of the offshore transshipment platform and meet the diverse needs of customers.The specific research works and achievements are as follows::(1)On the basis of the existing method of the module division,this paper fully grasps the whole structure,working nature and characteristics of the platform,analyzes the function and structure of the platform in detail,and carries on the module division to it according to the principle of module partition.In view of the complexity of the conveyor system,it is further divided into different modules according to module internal coupling and module separation and through the re-optimal combination of modules to get a new platform.(2)Based on the general modeling method,the parametric designing method of Pro/E is deeply studied and applied to the design of offshore transshipment platform.On the basis of detailed analysis of dimensional relationship between the components,the parameterized driving equation is established by analyzing the concrete flow of the parameterized design of the equation driving,and the parametric modeling of parts,components and whole machine on the offshore transshipment platform is carried out,and then the module library is built.(3)According to the customer’s different demand for the reloaded materials,the process of establishing the model of the different offshore transshipment platform is analyzed in detail through studying the characteristics of materials,and the corresponding transshipment platform models are obtained.And then they are imported into EDEM software to simulate the flow of the material on the overall structure of the transshipment platform,and the average speed of the material on the conveyor.This verifies the rationality of the transshipment platform model choice.In this paper,the integration of modular design and parameterized technology can not only effectively improves the standardization and generalization of the offshore transshipment platform,but also verifies the rationality of the model selection.It greatly shortens the design cycle and reduces the production cost.and quickly meets the needs of the diversified market.It provides an effective solution for enterprises to meets the needs of the diversified market quickly.
