[0030] With the development of wind power technology, offshore floating wind turbines have gradually become the mainstream model. When the water depth of the wind turbine is deep, it is usually necessary to use a floating platform to support it, so that the wind turbine can be placed on the sea surface by the buoyancy of the floating platform.
[0031] On this basis, the applicant found that due to the strong wind and waves at sea, the floating platform may tilt with the fluctuation of the sea surface. As the floating platform tilts, the wind turbine installed on it will also tilt, resulting in a decrease in the effective wind sweeping area of the wind turbine, which in turn leads to a decrease in power generation efficiency. In addition, the location of offshore wind turbines is usually far from the shore and difficult to reach, so it is difficult to correct the tilted floating platform in a timely manner through manual adjustment.
[0032] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application propose a floating platform and a wind turbine generator set, which can easily correct their own tilt and have high accuracy and reliability.
[0033] It is understandable that the following embodiments of the present application only illustrate the application of the floating platform to an offshore wind turbine generator set as an example, but the floating platform provided in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the following embodiments, and can also be used in other occasions where a floating structure is used for support and needs to maintain horizontality, and to protect it.
[0034] In order to better understand this application, Figures 1 to 6 The floating platform and wind turbine generator set provided in this application are described in detail.

Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a floating platform provided in another embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a mobile counterweight module provided in one embodiment of the present application.
[0036] In the first aspect, according to an embodiment of the present application, a floating platform 200 is proposed, including a floating foundation 40 and a mobile counterweight module 20, the floating foundation 40 includes a plurality of floating bodies 41 and a supporting platform 42 connected to the floating bodies 41, and the plurality of floating bodies are arranged around the supporting platform; a mobile counterweight module is arranged on the floating foundation, the mobile counterweight module includes a support rod and a counterweight block arranged on the support rod, and the counterweight block can move relative to the support rod in the axial direction of the support rod.
[0037] The present application provides a floating platform 200, including a floating foundation 40 and a mobile counterweight module 20, wherein the floating foundation 40 may include a support platform 42 for providing support and fixing for other structures installed on the floating platform 200, and a floating body 41 arranged around the support platform 42 for improving stability and buoyancy.
[0038] Optionally, the floating bodies 41 may have the same shape and size and may be spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the supporting platform 42 , and the distance between each floating body 41 and the center of the supporting platform 42 may be the same, so that the force applied thereto is more stable and the overall structure is more stable.
[0039] A plurality of floating bodies 41 are arranged around the support platform 42, and can be connected to the support platform 42 respectively, and adjacent floating bodies 41 can be connected to each other to improve the structural strength. Optionally, the number of floating bodies 41 can be more than three, and can be arranged at equal intervals in the circumference of the support platform 42 to further improve the stability of the floating foundation 40. The mobile counterweight module 20 can be arranged between the floating bodies 41, or the mobile counterweight module 20 can be arranged inside the floating body 41. By making a certain distance between the mobile counterweight module 20 and the support platform 42 located in the center, the force arm can be extended, so that the counterweight block 22 can adjust the center of gravity of the floating platform 200 as a whole more flexibly and effectively. The mobile counterweight module 20 can be installed at a main structure with a certain strength in the floating foundation 40, and extend a certain distance along a direction intersecting with the vertical direction. The mobile counterweight module 20 includes a support rod 21 and a counterweight block 22, and the counterweight block 22 is arranged on the support rod 21 and can move along the axial direction of the support rod 21. Optionally, the support rods 21 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the counterweights 22; or, in an embodiment that the strength of the support rods 21 can support, multiple counterweights 22 can be arranged on each support rod 21 at the same time to make the adjustment of the center of gravity more flexible; or, each counterweight 22 can be arranged corresponding to multiple support rods 21 extending parallel to each other to make the movement of the counterweight 22 smoother.
[0040] After the mobile counterweight module 20 is installed in the main support structure of the floating platform 200, as the counterweight block 22 moves on the support rod 21, the relative position between the counterweight block 22 and the center of gravity of the floating platform 200 as a whole can be changed, thereby changing the overall posture of the floating platform 200 and correcting the position and orientation of the wind turbine or other devices installed thereon.
[0041] Optionally, the support rod 21 and the counterweight block 22 arranged on the support rod 21 are recorded as a sub-module, and multiple sub-modules can be arranged in the mobile counterweight module 20 at the same time. The support rods 21 in these sub-modules can extend in different directions respectively, and each counterweight block 22 can move independently of each other, thereby making the adjustment of the center of gravity more flexible and accurate.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, the floating foundation 40 also includes a connecting beam 43, which is connected between adjacent floating bodies 41. The connecting beam 43 is a cylindrical structure and has a accommodating cavity extending along its own axial direction. The mobile counterweight module 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the support rod 21 extends along the axial direction of the connecting beam 43.
[0043] Multiple floating bodies 41 in the floating foundation 40 are arranged around the supporting platform 42, and connecting beams 43 can be arranged between adjacent floating bodies 41. Optionally, the connecting beams 43 can be arranged between every two adjacent floating bodies 41 in the circumferential direction of the supporting platform 42, so that the multiple floating bodies 41 are connected by the connecting beams 43 to form a ring extending along the circumference of the supporting platform 42, and the ring structure surrounds the supporting platform 42.
[0044] The connecting beam 43 may be a hollow cylindrical structure, and the accommodating cavity inside the connecting beam 43 may interconnect the cavities inside the two floating bodies 41, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the mobile counterweight module 20 in the accommodating cavity. The extension direction of the support rod 21 arranged in the accommodating cavity may correspond to the extension direction of the connecting beam 43, so that the counterweight block 22 can move in the axial direction of the connecting beam 43. In the embodiment where the connecting beam 43 connects the floating bodies 41 to form a ring, each connecting beam 43 may be provided with a mobile counterweight module 20, thereby enabling the adjustment of the center of gravity to be more flexible and accurate.
[0045] Optionally, the connecting beam 43 can be set as a hollow and sealed structure. In the embodiment where the mobile counterweight module 20 is set in the connecting beam 43, the position of the connecting beam 43 in the vertical direction can be adjusted so that it can be located below the waterline when the floating platform 200 is in working state, thereby correspondingly lowering the center of gravity of the floating platform 200 as a whole, further improving the stability of the floating platform 200. At the same time, the connecting beam 43 can also separate the internal accommodation cavity from the external water environment, so as to prevent the counterweight block 22 from being subjected to water resistance during movement or rusting due to being in the water environment.
[0046] Optionally, a connecting beam 43 may be provided between the floating body 41 and the supporting platform 42, and a supporting rod 21 and a counterweight 22 may also be provided in the connecting beam 43, so as to further increase the flexibility and accuracy of adjusting the overall center of gravity of the floating platform 200 by moving the counterweight 22 on the basis of firmly connecting the floating body 41 and the supporting platform 42.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, the floating foundation 40 includes three floating bodies 41 spaced apart from each other, adjacent floating bodies 41 are connected by connecting beams 43 , and the lengths of the multiple connecting beams 43 are the same.
[0048] The floating foundation 40 in the embodiment of the present application includes a supporting platform 42 and a plurality of floating bodies 41 arranged around the supporting platform 42. Specifically, a supporting platform 42 and three floating bodies 41 may be provided in the floating foundation 40.

Correspondingly, the supporting rod 21 disposed inside the connecting beam 43 may also extend in a straight line to facilitate the movement of the counterweight 22 therein.
[0051] Alternatively, the connecting beam 43 may be extended along a preset curve, for example, at least partially in an arc shape, to form a specific shape structure or avoid other components. In the embodiment where the connecting beam 43 extends in a curve, the floating foundation 40 as a whole may be centrally symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the supporting platform 42, so that the supporting platform 42 is subjected to uniform force. At the same time, the support rod 21 arranged in the connecting beam 43 may extend along the curve in parallel with the central axis of the connecting beam 43, or the support rod 21 may be extended along a straight line by virtue of the internal space of the connecting beam 43 having a certain size.

Optionally, the support rods 21 and the counterweights 22 may be provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and the number of the support rods 21 may be 6 to 12, and may be 8.
[0054] In an embodiment in which multiple support rods 21 are provided in each connecting beam 43, each support rod 21 can be driven independently of each other, so that each counterweight block 22 in the same connecting beam 43 can move independently of each other. The number of counterweight blocks 22 to be moved and the moving distance are selected according to the degree of inclination that needs to be corrected. The greater the degree of inclination that needs to be corrected, the more counterweight blocks 22 can be driven to move accordingly. When all the counterweight blocks 22 in the same connecting beam 43 move together, this part of the counterweight sub-module can achieve the maximum inclination correction effect.
[0055] Optionally, the distance that the counterweight 22 can move in the axial direction of the corresponding support rod 21, that is, the length of each support rod 21 can be 60m to 120m. Depending on the output power of the driving component and the connection method between the support rod 21 and the counterweight 22, the maximum moving speed of the counterweight 22 can be 3.5m / s to 7m / s, thereby enabling the correction of the inclination of the floating platform 200 to be timely and reliable.

Specifically, the support rod 21 can be a threaded rod with threads on the outer peripheral surface, and the counterweight block 22 is sleeved on the support rod 21. It can optionally be provided with a connecting hole with threads on the inner wall. The support rod 21 passes through the connecting hole and is threadedly connected to the support rod 21, so that the position of the counterweight block 22 in the axial direction of the support rod 21 can be changed by rotating the support rod 21.

Optionally, the counterweight 22 may be slidably connected to the slide rail 24 through a structure such as a slider or a protrusion, or the counterweight 22 may be rotatably connected to the slide rail 24 through a structure such as a pulley.

That is, the opening and closing state of the control module 30 is determined by the working state of the wind turbine, so that the tilt correction system 100 can provide tilt correction effect in a timely and continuous manner.
[0078] The data processor 32 may be a computer and provided with a human-machine interface, so that the control module 30 can be set, inspected, or maintained as a whole through the data processor 32. The data processor 32 is connected to the data acquisition device 10 and the controller 33 in communication, receives signals from the data acquisition device 10, and sends the processed results to the controller 33.
[0079] Optionally, submodules such as a monitoring database, stability check, and BP (backpropagation) neural network may also be integrated in the data processor 32. The monitoring database submodule may be used to store environmental parameters and the like acquired by the data acquisition device 10. Specifically, the monitoring database may be used to filter the parameters acquired by the data acquisition device 10, remove missing values, duplicate values, and abnormal values in the parameter sequence, and perform data smoothing, and then store the filtered valid data.
[0080] The stability verification submodule can first read the tilt direction and tilt angle of the floating platform 200 from the monitoring database module, and then obtain the number, position, and individual mass of the counterweight blocks 22. Finally, the position distribution plan of each counterweight block 22 can be calculated based on other pre-stored basic data of the floating platform 200.
[0081] The BP neural network submodule can be used to assist data processing, reduce calculation errors, and achieve the best working state of the system through data learning, so that the motor 23 can adopt different rotation speeds under different working conditions, thereby further improving the accuracy of tilt correction.
[0082] The controller 33 is in communication with the motor 23 in the mobile counterweight module 20, and is used to transmit specific signals to each motor 23 according to the instructions of the data processor 32, so that each motor 23 drives its corresponding counterweight block 22 to move, and finally each counterweight block 22 reaches a preset position.
[0083] In some optional embodiments, the data acquisition device 10 includes a plurality of depth sounders 13 , a plurality of level sensors 11 , and a plurality of angular velocity sensors 12 , and the depth sounders 13 , the level sensors 11 , and the angular velocity sensors 12 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of floating bodies 41 .
[0084] Optionally, the data acquisition device 10 may be provided with a plurality of depth sounders 13, a plurality of level sensors 11, and a plurality of angular velocity sensors 12. When the data acquisition device 10 is installed, these sensors may be provided in one-to-one correspondence with the floating bodies 41, that is, each floating body 41 may be provided with a depth sounder 13, a level sensor 11, and an angular velocity sensor 12. By providing a depth sounder 13 on each floating body 41, the draft of different floating bodies 41 may be obtained, and the tilt angle and tilt direction of the floating platform 200 may be obtained more accurately according to the difference between the drafts and the detection result of the level sensor 11. At the same time, in the embodiment in which the data acquisition device 10 includes a satellite locator, the positioning result and the aforementioned draft data may be combined to make the determination of the wave height and wave period more accurate.
[0085] By respectively arranging a sensor on each floating body 41 , the position and posture of the floating platform 200 can be more accurately determined through the difference between the sensors, thereby further making the tilt correction effect accurate and reliable.
