Underwater active electric field detection device and detection method of three-dimensional cylindrical electrode array
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater detection, and particularly relates to an underwater active electric field detection device and method of a three-dimensional cylindrical electrode array.
Background
The underwater target object detection is a key research object in the field of modern national defense and ocean engineering, and the traditional underwater detection mode comprises acoustic detection and optical detection. The acoustic detection is based on the propagation and reflection characteristics of sound waves in water, has the advantages of large detection power, long propagation distance and the like, but is easy to generate reverberation interference, and the short-distance detection precision is not high. The optical detection is based on the transmission, refraction and reflection of light under water, and the image acquisition is directly carried out on the underwater target object through the optical imaging equipment, so that the optical detection device has the advantages of good imaging effect, high identification precision and the like, but the detection distance is short, the water transparency is high, and the detection effect in turbid water is poor.
Underwater electric field detection is an effective complement to the traditional underwater detection method. The detection principle can be divided into underwater passive electric field detection and underwater active electric field detection, and the difference between the passive electric field detection and the active electric field detection is whether a detection device actively generates an electric field. In passive electric field detection, a detected target generates an electric field or generates weak disturbance on an ocean geomagnetic electric field due to the existence of the electric field, and a receiving electrode captures electric field information or electric field disturbance generated by the target by acquiring data such as electric potential, electric field strength and the like at different positions in water, so that the underwater target is detected. In the active electric field detection, a detection device comprises a receiving electrode and a transmitting electrode, the transmitting electrode generates an active electric field underwater, the presence of a target object enables the underwater active electric field established by the transmitting electrode to generate disturbance, and the receiving electrode captures a disturbance signal of the electric field, so that the detection function is realized.
Compared with underwater passive electric field detection, underwater active electric field detection has stronger anti-interference capability and higher detection precision, so that underwater active electric field detection becomes one of the research hotspots in the current ocean detection field.
The current underwater active electric field detection device usually adopts a two-dimensional plane electrode array, namely, electrodes are arranged in a two-dimensional plane, the plane is generally parallel to the water bottom, the effective detection water area of the detection device is a projection space of a closed graph surrounded by the electrodes to the water bottom, the detection space is very limited, and the depth information of a target object is difficult to obtain. In addition, the detection device adopting the two-dimensional planar electrode array is difficult to be effectively combined with the cylindrical surface shapes of the current mainstream underwater vehicles such as submarines and AUVs, so that the propulsion efficiency is reduced due to damage to the streamline shells of the vehicles, and the stability of the vehicles can be disturbed.
