[0067] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The same components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the words "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0068] like Figure 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, an offshore floating platform provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a platform truss 1, a steering mechanism 2, a floating tube 3 and a shuttle-shaped floating base 4.

[0069] The platform truss 1 has a truss base plate 11 .

[0070] The steering mechanism 2 includes an upper circular ring 21 fixedly connected below the truss bottom plate 11 and a lower circular ring 22 pivotally connected to the upper circular ring 21 .

[0071] The bottom surface of the lower ring 22 is evenly distributed with anti-rotation guide columns 25 that can prevent the floating tube 3 from rotating. A floating tube 3 is sleeved on each anti-rotation guide column 25. The floating tube 3 is slidably connected to the anti-rotation guide column 25, and the floating tube 3 can slide up and down relative to the anti-rotation guide column 25.

[0072] The lower end of each floating tube 3 is pivotally connected to a floating base 4 , in which a counterweight 5 is arranged.

[0073] The floating tube 3 and the floating base 4 can revolve together with the lower ring 22 , and the floating base 4 can rotate independently relative to the floating tube 3 .

[0074] The offshore floating platform provided by the present invention is mainly used for being arranged in the offshore to install photovoltaic panels for power generation.

[0075] The offshore floating platform mainly includes a platform truss 1, a steering mechanism 2, a floating pipe 3, a floating base 4 and a counterweight 5.

[0076] The platform truss 1 comprises a truss base plate 11 and a bracket arranged on the truss base plate 11, and the bracket is used for installing and fixing the photovoltaic panel.

[0077] The steering mechanism 2 is installed below the truss bottom plate 11. The steering mechanism 2 includes an upper ring 21 and a lower ring 22. The upper ring 21 is fixed to the bottom surface of the truss bottom plate 11, and the lower ring 22 is pivotally connected to the upper ring 21. Specifically, the circumferential surface of the upper ring 21 has a circle of bosses 211, and the circumferential surface of the lower ring 22 has at least three hooks 221. The hooks 221 are hung on the bosses 211, and the hooks 221 can slide relative to the bosses 211, and the lower ring 22 can rotate relative to the upper ring 21. If necessary, a bearing can be installed between the hook 221 and the boss 211 to reduce the friction when the hook 221 slides relative to the boss 211.

[0078] The floating tube 3 is a plastic tube made of polyethylene / polypropylene / nylon, etc. The multiple floating tubes 3 play a floating role, so that the platform truss 1 and the steering mechanism 2 are above the water surface. The diameter and length of the floating tube 3 can be set as needed to meet the buoyancy requirements.

[0079] In order to realize the assembly of the floating tube 3 onto the lower circular ring 22, more than three anti-rotation guide columns 25 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the lower circular ring 22, and the cross-section of the anti-rotation guide column 25 is rectangular, cross-shaped, etc. The through hole of the floating tube 3 is correspondingly configured in a rectangular, cross-shaped, etc. shape. Therefore, when the floating tube 3 is sleeved on the anti-rotation guide column 25, the floating tube 3 will rotate on the anti-rotation guide column 25. The floating tube 3 and the anti-rotation guide column 25 are clearance-fitted or slidably connected, and the floating tube 3 can slide up and down relative to the anti-rotation guide column 25 to adapt to the undulations of the waves.

[0080] The upper end of the floating tube 3 may be equipped with an upper end cap 31 , and the lower end of the floating tube 3 may be equipped with a lower end cap 31 to seal the floating tube 3 .

[0081] The length of the floating tube 3 is greater than the length of the anti-rotation guide column 25. As required, a protrusion 251 can be provided on the anti-rotation guide column 25 to limit the lowering limit position of the floating tube 3. When the floating tube 3 is lowered to the limit position, the protrusion 251 contacts the upper end cover 31 and is blocked by the upper end cover 31, and the floating tube 3 cannot be lowered any further.

[0082] A floating base 4 is mounted at the lower end of each floating tube 3. The floating base 4 is shuttle-shaped and is pivotally connected to the floating tube 3. The floating base 4 can rotate relative to the floating tube 3. The shuttle-shaped floating base 4 is more easily rotated to automatically adjust the direction of the wave and reduce the impact.

[0083] The floating base 4 can be made of the same material as the floating tube 3 to play a floating role. The floating base 4 is fusiform, with sharp ends and wide in the middle, similar to a ship. After being impacted by water flow, it can immediately turn and adjust to a stable position, which is conducive to improving stability. The size of the floating base 4 can be set according to needs.

[0084] The floating base 4 has a counterweight 5. The counterweight 5 can be made of metal, concrete, etc., which increases the weight of the floating base 4, lowers the center of gravity, and helps improve the stability of the floating base 4 in the water flow. The counterweight 5 can be injection molded in the floating base 4, or assembled in the floating base 4 at a later stage.

[0085] When encountering a large-scale water flow impact, that is, when all the floating tubes 3 are impacted by the water flow, the floating tubes 3 drive the floating base 4 to revolve together with the lower ring 22, so as to drive all the floating bases 4 to rotate together to adjust the direction of facing the waves and reduce the impact. Each floating base 4 can also rotate independently relative to the floating tube 3 to adapt to the water flow impact in the area where each floating base 4 is located, automatically adjust the direction of facing the waves, and further reduce the impact.

[0086] When the lower ring 22 and the components below rotate, the upper ring 21 and the platform truss 1 will not rotate accordingly, thereby improving the stability of the offshore floating platform. At the same time, the floating tube 3 can drive the floating base 4 to slide up and down to adapt to the up and down impact of seawater, thereby reducing the up and down shaking of the platform truss 1.

[0087] In summary, the floating platform provided by the present invention, the floating pipe 3 and the floating base 4 can be adjusted according to the impact of waves, and the shuttle-shaped floating base 4 can also automatically adjust the direction of the waves according to the direction of the wave flow, which effectively improves the wind and wave resistance of the floating platform.

[0088] As required, an anchor chain may be connected to the bottom of the upper ring 21 to confine the offshore floating platform to a designated area.

[0089] In one embodiment, if Figure 3-5 As shown, an intermediate ring 23 is installed between the upper ring 21 and the lower ring 22 .

[0090] A plurality of assembly holes 231 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the middle ring 23 . A rolling ball 24 is installed in each assembly hole 231 . The rolling ball 24 protrudes from the upper and lower surfaces of the middle ring 23 .

[0091] The bottom surface of the upper circular ring 21 has an upper circular groove 212 , and the top surface of the lower circular ring 22 has a lower circular groove 222 .

[0092] A portion of the intermediate ring 23 is assembled in the upper annular groove 212 , and another portion of the intermediate ring 23 is assembled in the lower annular groove 222 . The rolling ball 24 contacts the groove bottom of the upper annular groove 212 and the groove bottom of the lower annular groove 212 , respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 2 further includes an intermediate ring 23 and a plurality of rolling balls 24. The intermediate ring 23 has a plurality of assembly holes 231 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and a rolling ball 24 is assembled in each assembly hole 231. The diameter of the rolling ball 24 is greater than the thickness of the intermediate ring 23, and a portion of the rolling ball 24 protrudes from the upper surface of the intermediate ring 23, and another portion protrudes from the lower surface of the intermediate ring 23.

[0094] The bottom surface of the upper circular ring 21 has an annular upper ring groove 212, and the top surface of the lower circular ring 22 has an annular lower ring groove 222. The upper ring groove 212 is substantially aligned with the lower ring groove 222. During assembly, the bottom of the rolling ball 24 contacts the bottom of the lower ring groove 222, a portion of the intermediate ring 23 is interference-fitted in the lower ring groove 222, another portion of the intermediate ring 23 is clearance-fitted in the upper ring groove 212, and the top of the rolling ball 24 contacts the bottom of the upper ring groove 212.

[0095] When the lower ring 22 rotates, the middle ring 23 rotates with the lower ring 22 , and the rolling ball 24 also rotates with it, which reduces the friction between the lower ring 22 and the upper ring 21 and facilitates the smooth rotation of the lower ring 22 .

[0096] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the top of the floating base 4 is provided with a connecting column 44 , the connecting column 44 is inserted into the lower end of the floating tube 3 , and a bearing 6 is assembled between the floating tube 3 and the connecting column 44 .

[0097] In this embodiment, a connecting column 44 is installed on the top of the floating base 4. The connecting column 44 can be connected to the floating base 4 by a fastening structure, or the connecting column 44 can be integrally formed with the floating base 4. The lower end of the floating tube 3 has a circular hole, and the connecting column 44 is inserted into the circular hole at the lower end of the floating tube 3. A bearing 6 is installed between the hole wall of the circular hole and the connecting column 44 to facilitate the smooth rotation of the connecting column 44. If necessary, a first groove can be opened on the hole wall of the circular hole for assembling the outer ring of the bearing 6; a second groove 441 (such as Fig. 9 As shown), it is used to assemble the inner ring of the bearing 6.

[0098] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the floating base 4 comprises a base tail portion 41 , a base body portion 42 and a base head portion 43 which are connected in sequence.

[0099] The connecting column 44 is connected to the upper part of the base body 42 . The base body 42 has a body cavity 421 . The counterweight 5 is located in the body cavity 421 . The center of gravity of the counterweight 5 is located on the axis of the bearing 6 .

[0100] The base tail portion 41 has a hollow tail cavity 411 , and the base head portion 43 has a hollow head cavity 431 .

[0101] In this embodiment, the floating base 4 is divided into a base tail portion 41, a base body portion 42 and a base head portion 43. The base tail portion 41 and the base head portion 43 are narrower than the base body portion 42.

[0102] The connecting column 44 is connected to the top of the base body 42, and the base body 42 has a body cavity 421 for placing the counterweight 5. The center of gravity of the counterweight 5 is on the axis of the bearing 6, which is conducive to improving the stability of the floating base 4 when rotating.

[0103] The base tail 41 has a hollow tail cavity 411 , and the base head 43 has a hollow head cavity 431 , which reduces the structural weight at the front and rear ends, facilitates swinging with the water flow, and can also increase the buoyancy of the floating base 4 .

[0104] In one embodiment, if Figure 7-10 As shown, in the direction from back to front, the width of the top surface of the base tail portion 41 is equal, the width of the top surface of the base main body portion 42 gradually widens, and the width of the top surface of the base head portion 43 gradually narrows.

[0105] In a direction from top to bottom, the widths of the base tail portion 41 , the base main body portion 42 and the base head portion 43 gradually become narrower.

[0106] In this embodiment, the floating base 4 is roughly in the shape of a ship, the floating base 4 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the base body 42 and the base head 43 are streamlined. The width of the top surface of the base tail 41 is equal, and the two sides of the base tail 41 are inclined surfaces. When the two sides are impacted by water flow unequally, the base head 43 will swing and adjust adaptively.

[0107] In one embodiment, if Figure 11-12 and Figure 17-19 As shown, the top surface of the floating base 4 is provided with a sliding floating plate 7 on both sides of the connecting column 44 .

[0108] The sliding floating plate 7 is slidably connected to the floating base 4 , and a guide structure 9 is installed between the sliding floating plate 7 and the floating base 4 .

[0109] A driving mechanism 8 for driving the two sliding floating plates 7 to slide is also installed on the floating base 4 .

[0110] The driving mechanism 8 includes a power unit 81 and two sets of transmission units 82 connected to opposite sides of the power unit 81 .

[0111] The connecting column 44 has a mounting cavity 442 in which the power unit 81 is mounted. The transmission unit 82 passes through the mounting cavity 442 and is connected to the sliding floating plate 7 .

[0112] The transmission unit 82 is located below the bearing 6 .

[0113] When the sliding floating plate 7 is in the initial state, the sliding floating plate 7 is located on the top of the floating base 4 .

[0114] When the sliding floating plate 7 is in the extended state, the sliding floating plate 7 at least partially extends out of the outer side of the floating base 4 .

[0115] In this embodiment, two sliding floating plates 7 are mounted on the top of the floating base 4, and the two sliding floating plates 7 are arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting column 44. Each sliding floating plate 7 is connected to the floating base 4 with a guide structure 9, which extends along the width direction of the floating base 4 and is used to guide the sliding floating plate 7 to slide on the floating base 4.

[0116] The two sliding floating plates 7 are driven to extend and retract by a driving mechanism 8. The driving mechanism 8 includes a power unit 81 and two sets of transmission units 82. The power unit 81 can be a motor or a piston, and the transmission unit 82 can be a lead screw, a piston rod, etc.

[0117] The connecting column 44 has a mounting cavity 442, and the cavity opening of the mounting cavity 442 is located at the top surface of the connecting column 44. The power unit 81 is fixedly installed in the mounting cavity 442. The transmission unit 82 is located below the bearing 6, and the transmission unit 82 passes through the mounting cavity 442 and is connected to the sliding floating plate 7, so as to drive the sliding floating plate 7 to slide.

[0118] The driving mechanism 8 can be connected to the controller on the platform truss 1 through a wire, and the controller is connected to the control system in the ground observation room. The user can control the controller of the driving mechanism 8 through the control system, and then control the switch of the driving mechanism 8.

[0119] When the sliding floating plate 7 is in the initial state, the sliding floating plate 7 is on the top of the floating base 4. At this time, the buoyancy of the offshore floating platform mainly comes from the floating pipe 3 and the floating base 4.

[0120] When one side of the offshore floating platform is observed to tilt downward, the two sliding floating plates 7 on the floating base 4 on that side can be controlled to extend through the driving mechanism 8 to increase the buoyancy of the floating base 4 on that side to maintain the balance of the offshore floating platform.

[0121] In one embodiment, if Figure 17-22 As shown, the power unit 81 is a motor 811 , and the transmission unit 82 includes a transmission shaft 821 and a screw rod 822 connected to the transmission shaft 821 .

[0122] An internal thread hole 71 is provided in the sliding floating plate 7 , and a cavity wall through hole 444 for the transmission shaft 821 to pass through is provided on the cavity wall 443 of the installation cavity 442 .

[0123] One end of the transmission shaft 821 is connected to the motor 811 , and a sealing ring 445 is installed between the transmission shaft 821 and the cavity wall through hole 444 .
