The in-situ insulation of deep strata is the key technology of deep drilling and deep resource exploitation, but at present, this technology is still a difficult problem in the study of in-situ fidelity coring in deep strata. Taking into account the complex geological conditions of deep strata, the strong disturbance and high cost caused by large-scale mining activities limit the working space of deep drilling. At the same time, the fidelity cabin is too far from the ground surface during deep drilling operations, which will cause great difficulty in power supply, temperature control and data collection. For this reson, the function-behavior-structure (FBS) model was used to define and describe the function of the active insulation system for in-situ fidelity coring in deep strata, and the functional requirements and functional structure layout of the active insulation system were initially proposed. Combining the TRIZ, the technical conflicts in the preliminary design scheme of active insulation system were analyzed and improved. In addition, a high-efficiency active insulation system consisting heat pipes, Peltier cooler and graphene heating coating was proposed. By setting different temperature gradients and performing constant temperature control, the insulation simulation of in-situ temperature at different depths was realized, which verified the feasibility of the proposed active insulation system. The realization of the active insulation system for in-situ fidelity coring in deep strata can provide research ideas and methods for the later research of passive insulation and temperature pressure coupling.

Both safe human-robot interaction and environment-adapted bionic motion need compliance in robot joints. In order to solve the problems of the existing passive compliant actuators, such as weak adaptability to different external loads, the need for additional stiffness adjustment motor, and the mismatch between stiffness and load, a new nonlinear stiffness compliant actuator was designed, which adopted "cam+torsion spring" mechanism combined with gear transmission and could achieve the given bidirectional nonlinear stiffness. Firstly, the working principle of the nonlinear stiffness mechanism, the calculation method of the effective contour curve of the cam and the working principle of the nonlinear stiffness compliant actuator were introduced.Then, based on the proposed bidirectional nonlinear stiffness mechanism, an actuator prototype was designed. At last, the performances of the proposed compliant actuator were evaluated. Through simulation and experimental analysis of the stiffness characteristics of the prototype, it was verified that the designed compliant actuator could adjust the stiffness well according to the given nonlinear stiffness characteristic curve. Through comparing with the similar actuators, it was shown that the proposed actuator had good comprehensive characteristics. Through the experiments of tracking sinusoidal torque signals with different peak torques and frequencies, it was preliminarily proved that the designed compliant actuator had good torque control performance. The research results show the effectiveness of the proposed design method, which provide a new idea for the design of actuator of robot joints.

A flexible finger based on pneumatic multi-cavity soft driver was designed to solve the problem of the existing soft flexible finger with less freedom of movement.Based on the motion characteristics of mollusk, the structure of multi-cavity soft driver was designed. According to the principle of virtual work, the mechanical model of the soft driver and the pose equation of the flexible finger were established. By using Abaqus CAE finite element simulation software, the relationship curve between the deflection angle of the flexible finger and the input air pressure was obtained. Taking single direction rotary soft driver as the experimental object, the relationship between deflection angle and input air pressure was analyzed by inputting a specific air pressure value, and the difference of theoretical calculation, simulation analysis and test results of deflection angle-input air pressure relation curve was compared. The experimental results showed that when the deflection angle was 0°-80°, the theoretical calculation and simulation analysis were basically consistent with the test results of variation trend of the deflection angle-input air pressure curve. The research showed that the established mechanical model of the single direction rotary soft drivercan describe the variation of the deflection angle of the driver more accurately, and the established finger pose equation can obtain the spatial coordinates of each finger node according to the deflection angle of each joint, which provides a foundation for the motion control of the finger.

https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2020.00.050
For the poor noise reduction effect of existing defective pipe and the rare consideration of defect signal integrity, a method of magnetic memory signal noise reduction based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and layered threshold was proposed. Firstly, a metal magnetic memory detecting system controlled by STM32F407 was designed to collect the magnetic signals of the defective pipe. Then, through EEMD pretreatment of magnetic signal, the intrinsic mode function (IMF) components were obtained and the optimal decomposition layer number was selected according to spectrum analysis and similarity calculation. Finally, the IMF components with the optimal decomposition layer number were reconstructed through the layered threshold noise reduction algorithm, and the de-noised signal was obtained. By means of simulation analysis and experimental test, the EEMD layered threshold noise reduction method was quantitatively evaluated.The results showed that this method was suitable for the noisy signal with small signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the SNR and smoothness of the de-noised signal were higher and the root mean square error was smaller than that of wavelet threshold noise reduction. The defect feature signal was complete and the defect location was more intuitively displayed.The research result provides a practical method for noise reduction of magnetic signal of metal pipe and a reference for online detection of pipe defects.

ZHANG Xian-xu, LIU YI-ran, LI Li-jun
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2020, 27(4): 441-447.
https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2020.00.054
In order to effectively control the noise of specific frequency band, a new locally resonant acoustic metamaterial was designed based on Helmholtz resonant cavity array and by controlling the position of the Helmholtz resonant cavity short tube. The energy band graph and transfer loss curve of the new acoustic metamaterial were obtained by using COMSOL Multiphysics software, and the transfer loss curve was compared with that of Helmholtz resonant cavity array with a single directional opening.Meanwhile, in order to analyze the band gap formation mechanism of the new acoustic metamaterial, the acoustic pressure distribution nephogram in the band gap frequency range was obtained. The sound absorption performance of the new acoustic metamaterial was tested by experiments. The results showed that there were two relatively narrow band gaps and one relatively wide band gap in the band graph of the new acoustic metamaterial, and within the band gap frequency range, the transfer loss of the acoustic metamaterial peaked. The first band gap and the second band gap were relatively narrow, which was due to the local resonance of a single Helmholtz resonant resonator and less acoustic energy consumption. The third band gap was relatively wide, because the external waveguide formed by the Helmholtz resonance cavity and its periodic arrangement resonated and absorbed sound, which consumed a lot of acoustic energy.The experimental result was in good agreement with the simulation result. The new acoustic metamaterial can effectively control the noise in the frequency range of 1 300-1 500 Hz and 1 500-2 000 Hz. The results show that the new locally resonant acoustic metamaterial designed can effectively reduce vibration and noise in the middle and low frequencies, which provides a new idea for the research of acoustic metamaterials on noise reduction control in the middle and low frequencies.

https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2020.00.056
The vortex profile plays an important role in the optimal design of the vortex expander. At present, the researches on the variable base circle radius vortex profile were mostly focused on the establishment and derivation of geometric and mathematical models, and lack of in-depth research on the profile parameter selection. In order to make up for the above shortcomings, particle swarm algorithm was used to optimize the parameters of the variable base circle radius vortex profile. Firstly, the mathematical models of mesh disc diameter and expansion ratio of the variable base circle radius vortex expander were established. Secondly, the influence of the base circle variation coefficient on the performance of the base circle radius vortex expander was analyzed. Finally, the parameters of variable base circle radius vortex profile were optimized by single objective and multi-objective methods. After optimization, the values of base circle radius and base circle variation coefficient when the mesh disc diameter and expansion ratio were extreme respectively, as well as the non-inferior solution set of base circle radius and base circle variation coefficient when the mesh disc diameter and expansion ratio were taken as common optimization objectives. The research results can provide reference for the design of profile of vortex expander.

WANG Chuan, FANG Hai-hui, NA Feng, JIN Hao, WANG An-yi, LIU Jing
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2020, 27(4): 478-486.
https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2020.00.049
The production tree plays a vital role in the exploitation of deep-sea oil and gas. In order to accurately understand the dynamics characteristics of the vertical release and installation of the drill string-production tree, based on the actual working conditions of the drill string-production tree installation and the basic principles of dynamics, the longitudinal vibration dynamics simulation model of the drill string-production tree was established considering the heave motion of the platform. Discrete solution was solved by finite difference method in MATLAB. The influences of heave compensation, PID controller proportional coefficient, compensation cylinder volume, water depth, drill string wall thickness and production tree weight on longitudinal vibration performance of drill string-production tree were analyzed.The simulation results showed that the compensation effect of the active heave compensation device was better than that of the passive heave compensation device. In the active heave compensation device, if the proportional coefficient kp of PID controller increased, the heave compensation effect would be enhanced. However, as kp continued to increase, the drill string-production tree system would be unstable. The longitudinal vibration displacement of drill string-production tree decreased with the increase of compensation cylinder volume and drill string wall thickness.The stress decreased with the increase of compensation cylinder volume and drill string wall thickness, and increased with the increase of production tree weight. Under different water depth, the longitudinal vibration displacement and stress at top of drill string-production tree were basically the same. The research results can provide a reference for the stable release and installation of production tree.

Design of online lane line recognition system based on machine vision
LI Meng
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2020, 27(4): 498-507.
https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2020.00.064
Aiming at the problem that the current lane line recognition system is difficult to realize the online recognition of lane lines because the processing object is offline image or video files, most lane line recognition algorithms usually select a fixed region of interest (ROI) region to reduce the amount of image processing, which makes them difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of the environment and there are different degrees of recognition errors. For this reason, an online lane line recognition system without setting region of interest was proposed based on the machine vision. Firstly, the real-time collected color road images were preprocessed through the VBAI (Vision Builder for Automation Inspection) platform to complete the grayscale, filtering and binary processing. Secondly, the image coordinate system was established, and the gray value collection lines diverging outward were constructed. The gray value at the the intersection of the gray value collection line and the lane line changed greatly. When the gray value of a point was higher than the setting gray threshold, the point was recorded as the edge sudden change point. Thirdly, all lane edge sudden change points were fitted by fit line algorithm to complete the lane line recognition. At the same time, the remote vanished point coordinate of the left and right inner lane lines and the relative deviation angle of the vehicle deviating from the lane center line were solved. When the relative deviation angle exceeded the safety thresholds of different levels, the prompt box of the system's human-computer interaction interface presented different colors for reminding or warning. Lastly, the LabVIEW was used to call the API (application programming interface) script to realize the continuous operation of image processing programs and online lane line recognition. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of the proposed online lane line recognition system was over 98.41%, the measurement error of relative deviation angle was less than 0.056°, and the image processing speed was more than 42 frames per second, which had high recognition accuracy and real-time performance. Based on the above, the online lane line recognition system based on the machine vision can effectively identify lane lines on roads in different environments and achieve the intervention of driving deviation, which can be applied to the lane keeping assist (LKA) system based on autonomous driving technology.

In order to realize that the vehicle based on the carbon-free concept can identify obstacles and optimize obstacle avoidance trajectory during its complex path driving, a gravity-driven intelligent vehicle was designed. Firstly, in order to make the intelligent car not only travel a long distance but also speed up the slope, based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, a smooth transition type stepped winding wheel was designed. Its simple structure, shock-free operation and constant acceleration can effectively save driving energy. Secondly, dynamics analysis and torque calculation based on single degree of freedom were carried out for the transmission mechanism of intelligent vehicle.Thirdly, STM8S105 single-chip microcomputer was adopted as the core controller to control the E3Z-D62 infrared sensor, ES3104 steering gear and JY61P gyroscope to realize the identification and avoidance of obstacles, as well as the body steering and body deflection angle prediction. Finally, Python software was used to visually simulate the running speed and travelling distance of the intelligent vehicle under different gear transmission ratios.The results showed that when the gear transmission ratio was 6.3:1, the intelligent vehicle could be driven by the kinetic energy transformed by the gravitational potential energy generated by the falling of a weight of 1 kg and a height of (400±2) mm, and the optimal travelling distance could be realized.The designed intelligent vehicle can realize a series of movements such as straight driving, autonomous recognition and avoidance of obstacle, acceleration uphill, deceleration downhill, and the appearance and cost of the intelligent car were fully considered, so it had met the expected design requirements.The research results can provide reference for the structure optimization and control of carbon-free vehicle.
