[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a vibration damping device for a single pile foundation cage for offshore wind power, including a flow-breaking plate 1 in the shape of an equilateral rectangle and flow-disrupting components 2 respectively installed at the four corners of the flow-breaking plate 1. One flow-breaking plate is installed on the outer periphery of the cage; Several guide plates 3 are equidistantly hinged to the four sides of the flow breaker 1; Several intelligent adjustment components 4 are installed on the top of the baffle 1 and are used to adjust the tilt angle of each row of guide vanes 3 respectively; The turbulence assembly 2 includes a pressure box 21 fixed inside the flow-breaking plate 1. A high-elasticity rubber block 22 is provided inside the pressure box 21. A guide rod 23 is movably sleeved inside the flow-breaking plate 1. One end of the guide rod 23 is connected to the high-elasticity rubber block 22, and the other end of the guide rod 23 is hinged to a flow-diverting box 24. Several guide plates 25 are installed at equal intervals in the vertical direction on both sides of the diversion box 24. Several guide plates 26 are installed inside the diversion box 24. Every two guide plates 26 in the horizontal direction form a group and are in the shape of an "eight". An acoustic Doppler current profiler 27 for detecting the speed and direction of seawater flow is installed on the outside of the diversion box 24. It also includes several shock-damping components 6 distributed at equal angles in a circumferential direction. The shock-damping components 6 are installed on the cage and located at sea level. Several connecting rods 5 are used to connect the various pressure boxes 21 and the vibration damping assembly 6.

[0019] The four corners of the flow divider 1 are chamfered. The flow divider box 24 is movable through the chamfered part of the flow divider 1. The flow divider box 24 is in the shape of an isosceles triangle and its vertex is hinged to the guide rod 23. The outer side of the flow divider box 24 is arc-shaped. The guide plate 3 is provided with a slot at one end near the flow divider 1.

[0020] The above solution is adopted: such as Figure 5 The shown turbulence component 2 and flow-breaking plate 1, when one of the acoustic Doppler current profilers 27 detects that the impact force of the ocean current is too large in real time, it controls the flow-guiding plates 3 located on both sides of the acoustic Doppler current profiler 27 to fold through the intelligent adjustment component 4, so that the outer end of the flow-guiding plate 3 faces the direction of the ocean current. When the ocean current hits the arc edge of the diversion box 24, it is diverted into two ends and moves to the two side flow-guiding plates 3 respectively. Each row of flow-guiding plates 3 will guide part of the ocean current through the slot on it, and finally through the other two diversion boxes 24 located on both sides of the turbulence component 2 that is hit by the ocean current. At this time, after the diversion box 24 is hit by the ocean current, it retracts into the interior of the flow-breaking plate 1 and compresses the high elastic rubber block 22. After the ocean current is guided, it impacts the two diversion boxes 24, causing them to fold. The highly elastic rubber blocks 22 within are stretched and preferentially cut and diverted by one side guide plate 25 into the interior of the diversion box 24, where they come into contact with several internal guide plates 26. Since the guide plates 26 are fixed in position and not aligned with the direction of the ocean current, the current is again disturbed by them. Ultimately, the current is guided away from the diversion box 24 by the other side guide plate 25. After folding, the side of the diversion box 24 faces the lower guide plate 3. When the ocean current is in a turbulent state, in order to prevent the turbulent current from coming into contact with the external ocean current again, the contact is located at the two rows of guide plates 3 at the lower end of the folded diversion box 24, which further disturb the ocean current. Finally, the ocean current hits the lower diversion box 24 and completely disturbs the ocean current. At this time, the ocean current passing through the device is weakened to prevent the ocean current from passing through the device and merging with other ocean currents to form a larger ocean current or eddy. At the same time, it reduces the impact of the ocean current on other cages and further protects the safety of cages in other areas and their internal monopiles.

[0021] It should be noted that, for ease of understanding and explanation, the impact of the ocean current is directed towards the diversion box 24 at the top of the diagram.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the flow-breaking plate 1 is composed of four independent structures. The inner side of each independent structure is arc-shaped and they are combined into a complete circle after the flow-breaking plate 1 is formed. The upper and lower ends of the circle are respectively provided with holes at equal angles in the circumference.

[0023] Adopting the above scheme: when the device is installed, each independent component in the flow breaking plate 1 can be installed in turn, thereby reducing the installation difficulty, and the holes in the flow breaking plate 1 can enable the device to be fixed on the cage by any material selected by the staff during the installation process, and the circular part in the flow breaking plate 1 can also enable the device to better fit the cage.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1-8 The intelligent adjusting assembly 4 includes a protection box 41 fixed on the top of the flow breaking plate 1, the inside of the protection box 41 is provided with a waterproof hydraulic rod 42 movably penetrating the side surface of the protection box 41, the end of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 is movably connected with a push rod 44 through a guide rod 43, and the guide vanes 3 in the same row are collectively hinged on the push rod 44.

[0025] Adopting the above scheme: when the acoustic Doppler current profiler 27 controls the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 to stretch and retract, the stretching and retracting end drives the push rod 44 to displace through the guide rod 43, and forces the guide vanes 3 to fold, since the push rod 44 is hinged with the guide vanes 3, and the end of the guide vanes 3 is hinged with the flow breaking plate 1, when the guide vanes 3 are folded, they will push the guide rod 43 movably in the slot at the stretching and retracting end of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 through the push rod 44, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of jamming during the working process of the device, and the folding of the guide vanes 3 in the row is controlled by one intelligent adjusting assembly 4, which further improves the working efficiency of the device.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-8 The top of the protection box 41 is provided with a metal cover fixed by bolts, the inside of the protection box 41 is filled with air, and the stretching and retracting end of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 and the part in contact with the side surface of the protection box 41 are provided with a rubber sealing ring.

[0027] Adopting the above scheme: when the inside of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 needs to be repaired, the bolts of the metal cover on the protection box 41 can be directly disassembled, thereby facilitating subsequent maintenance; In the working state of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42, the air in the inside of the protection box 41 and the rubber sealing ring arranged on the side surface can better isolate seawater, so that the seawater can as little as possible contact the waterproof hydraulic rod 42, thereby further prolonging the maintenance period and service life of the waterproof hydraulic rod 42.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-8 The push rod 44 is composed of two metal rods with equal lengths, the two metal rods are fixed on the guide rod 43 by cooperating with the bolts and nuts, and each intelligent adjusting assembly 4 is located on each independent structure in the flow breaking plate 1.

[0029] Adopting the above scheme: when the guide vanes 3 are perpendicular to the side edge of the flow breaking plate 1, the joint of the two metal rods in the push rod 44 and the joint of the two independent structures in the flow breaking plate 1 are located on the same axis; When the device is not installed, the two metal rods are independent individuals and are hinged with each guide plate 3, when the breaking plate 1 is completed, the two metal rods can be inserted on the guide rod 43, and the two metal rods are fixed on the guide rod 43 through bolts, which can better reduce the difficulty of installation work, and is convenient for subsequent disassembly and assembly.

[0030] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The shock absorbing assembly 6 includes a shock absorbing box 61 filled with liquid, a plurality of shock absorbing plates 63 are equidistantly arranged in the shock absorbing box 61, a transmission rod 64 is movably penetrated through the bottom of the shock absorbing box 61, the edge of the transmission rod 64 is connected with the shock absorbing box 61 through a rubber layer 65, and the bottom of the transmission rod 64 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 5 through bolts.

[0031] The shock absorbing assembly 6 further includes a cover plate 62 fixedly installed on the top of the shock absorbing box 61 through bolts, and the liquid level in the shock absorbing box 61 is higher than the top of the transmission rod 64.

[0032] By adopting the above scheme, when the sea current passes through the breaking plate 1 and generates vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the transmission rod 64 through the connecting rod 5, since the shock absorbing box 61 is filled with liquid and covers the outer periphery of the transmission rod 64, the vibration is transmitted to the liquid through the transmission rod 64, and the blocking of the shock absorbing plates 63 can hinder the flow of the liquid, so that the vibration is better reduced; The transmission rod 64 does not completely contact with the shock absorbing box 61, and the two are sealed through the rubber layer 65, so that the transmission rod 64 can move and receive a larger degree of vibration, and the liquid cannot leak; The existence of the cover plate 62 enables the subsequent workers to more conveniently check or add new liquid into the shock absorbing box 61; It should be noted that the liquid in the shock absorbing box 61 can be made of a suitable shock absorbing material, and all descriptions in the document do not make explicit requirements for the liquid, and it is not limited that a certain liquid can act in the shock absorbing box 61 and be used for shock absorption, and the selection of the material should be changed according to the actual application.

[0033] The working principle and use process of the application are as follows: When the impact force of the sea current detected by one of the acoustic Doppler current profilers 27 is too large in real time, the waterproof hydraulic rod 42 is telescoped and drives the push rod 44 to displace through the guide rod 43, and forces the guide plate 3 to be folded; Thus, the outer end of the guide plate 3 is directed towards the direction of the sea current, when the sea current impacts the circular arc side of the shunt box 24, it is shunted into two ends and moves to the two sides of the guide plate 3 respectively, each row of guide plates 3 will guide part of the sea current to pass through the slot, and finally pass through the other two shunt boxes 24 located on the two sides of the turbulence assembly 2 impacted by the sea current, and at this time, the shunt box 24 is retracted to the inside of the breaking plate 1 and compresses the high-elastic rubber block 22 after being impacted by the sea current; When the sea current is guided, it impacts the two sides of the shunt box 24 and makes it fold, the high-elastic rubber block 22 in it is cut and shunted to the inside of the shunt box 24 by the guide plate one 25 on one side, and contacts the guide plate two 26 inside, which is in a fixed posture and is not the same as the direction of the sea current, which makes the sea current be disturbed again by the guide plate two 26, and finally guided out of the shunt box 24 by the guide plate one 25 on the other side, and the side of the shunt box 24 after folding is directed towards the lower end of the guide plate 3, at this time, the sea current is in a turbulent state, it contacts the two rows of guide plates 3 located at the lower end of the shunt box 24 after folding, and disturbs the sea current again, and finally the sea current impacts the lower end of the shunt box 24 and completely disturbs the sea current; When the sea current passes through the breaking plate 1 and produces vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the transmission rod 64 through the connecting rod 5, since the damping box 61 is filled with liquid and wrapped around the outer periphery of the transmission rod 64, the vibration is transmitted to the liquid through the transmission rod 64, and the blocking of the damping plate 63 can hinder the flow of the liquid, thereby reducing the vibration; The transmission rod 64 does not completely contact the damping box 61, and the two are sealed by the rubber layer 65, thereby allowing the transmission rod 64 to move and accept a larger degree of vibration, while the liquid cannot leak.

[0034] It should be noted that, in the present document, relational terms such as first and second and the like can be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions.
