After completing the underwater installation of the power generation facility 10, the installation mechanism 500 can release the power generation facility 10; the installation platform of the power generation facility can be used for underwater installation of the power generation facility 10, which is convenient and safe.

[0049] The installation mechanism 500 includes a lifting assembly and a robotic arm 530. The lifting assembly includes a lifting support 511 and a lifting mechanism 512. The lifting support 511 is respectively mounted on the two front support legs 310 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The lifting mechanism 512 is connected to the lifting support 511 and drives the lifting support 511 to move axially along the front support legs 310. The lifting support 511 is connected to the robotic arm 530. The lifting mechanism 512 drives the lifting support 511 to move vertically along the front support legs 310. The robotic arm 530 reaches a preset height along with the lifting support 511 to facilitate grasping the power generation facility 10.

[0050] The installation mechanism 500 also includes a walking component, and the lifting support member 511 is connected to the robotic arm 530 through the walking component. The walking component includes: a walking drive mechanism 522 and a walking support member 521. The walking support member 521 is mounted on the lifting support member 511. The walking drive mechanism 522 is connected to the walking support member 521, and the walking drive mechanism 522 drives the walking support member 521 to move along the length direction of the lifted support member 511; the robotic arm 530 is installed on the walking support member 521.

[0051] The robot arm 530 includes a clamp component 531 and a clamp moving driver 532 connected to each other. The clamp moving driver 532 is connected to the walking support 521 . The clamp moving driver 532 is used to drive the clamp component 531 to move along the front-rear direction of the main platform 100 .

[0052] The walking drive mechanism 522 drives the walking support member 521 to move along the length direction of the lifted support member 511, and the clamp moving drive member 532 is used to drive the clamp component 531 to move along the front and rear directions of the main platform 100. The installation mechanism 500 has two vertical dimensions of movement on the horizontal plane, and can perform precise underwater positioning.

[0053] The clamping member 531 is a structure with an adjustable clamping opening. The clamping member 531 of the installation mechanism 500 has an adjustable opening, which can adapt to the installation of power generation facilities 10 of different sizes.

[0054] The installation mechanism 500 is installed on the pile leg member. The installation mechanism 500 is a rigidly fixed structure. After the clamp component 531 of the installation mechanism 500 grabs the power generation facility 10, the power generation facility 10 and the installation platform form a stable connection. During underwater installation, the power generation facility 10 will not move due to wind, waves, currents, etc., and the installation efficiency and operation safety are highly guaranteed.

[0055] The fixture moving driver 532, the travel driving mechanism 522 and the lifting mechanism 512 are all connected to the controller. The controller drives the fixture moving driver 532, the travel driving mechanism 522 and the lifting mechanism 512 to operate.

[0056] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 512 is a cylinder mounted on the front support leg 310, with its piston rod connected to the lifting support member 511.

The output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to a gear, and the leg member is provided with a rack corresponding to the gear. The hydraulic motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rack, enabling relative movement between the leg member and the main platform 100. When the main platform 100 is fixed in position, the leg member moves relative to the main platform 100; when the leg member is fixed in position, the main platform 100 moves relative to the leg member. The leg lifting mechanism 400 can be any other structure that can meet the function of relative movement between the leg member and the main platform 100.

[0062] 3) The crane 200 lifts the components of the power generation facility 10 onto the pre-assembly platform 600 and assembles the power generation facility 10 from the scattered components into the entire power generation facility 10;

[0063] 4) The crane 200 lifts the assembled power generation facility 10 to the top of the working pit 110 and lowers it into the mechanical arm 530 of the installation mechanism 500. The mechanical arm 530 clamps the power generation facility 10 and the crane 200 releases the hook.

[0064] 5) The installation mechanism 500 descends to above the installation elevation of the power generation facility 10, and the walking mechanism and the robotic arm 530 move to achieve precise horizontal positioning;

[0065] 6) After positioning is completed, the power generation facility 10 is installed on its underwater permanent connection structure. The power generation facility 10 is installed underwater and the installation is completed;

[0066] 7) The four pile legs are pulled out and moved to the next machine position for installation.

[0067] The installation platform of the power generation facility of the present invention is positioned itself and the installation mechanism 500 is rigidly fixed. The installation platform of the power generation facility is accurately positioned and is less affected by wind, waves, currents, etc. The construction efficiency is high and it is safe and reliable.
