Description

[0002] With the continuous development of wind energy resources, offshore wind turbines are becoming increasingly large. Traditional transportation, installation, and recovery methods, due to limitations such as draft depth and lifting height, are increasingly unable to meet the development trend of offshore wind turbines, slowing the development of the wind power industry. Traditional offshore wind turbine transportation, installation, and recovery processes have the following main shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Complete wind turbines cannot be transported. Multiple large transport ships are required to transport wind turbine components in sections to designated sea areas and assemble them on-site offshore, which greatly increases construction time and difficulty and easily leads to delays.

[0004] 2. A large lifting device is required. The transport ship and the lifting device will move relative to each other during the construction process. The coupling effect generated during the lifting process will greatly increase the difficulty and danger of the lifting;

[0005] 3. Automatic integrated sinking installation cannot be achieved, and large-scale piling and grouting facilities and equipment are required to ensure the bearing capacity and stability requirements of the wind turbine foundation, which greatly increases construction time and cost;

[0006] 4. Efficient recycling cannot be achieved, and the original wind turbine foundation cannot be relocated after recycling. The original site is greatly disturbed and the risk of secondary utilization is high.

[0007] Offshore wind energy, with its advantages of high and stable wind speeds and its lack of land occupation, has become a trend and focus of current wind energy development. However, while establishing offshore wind farms presents significant advantages, they also bring with them some unavoidable challenges.

[0056] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 and a construction method for a multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 based on the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4. Multiple multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbines 1 can be transported, installed and recovered by the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-tube jacket-based wind turbine 1 generally includes three to four suction cylinders, and multiple suction cylinders are connected to the jacket through the upper jacket top reinforcement section. The main body of the suction cylinder is a steel cylinder, which is composed of a cylinder wall and a cover plate. The cover plate of the suction cylinder is evenly arranged with multiple ventilation / water holes, which are connected to the internal space of the suction cylinder and are mainly used for inflation operations inside the suction cylinder. The jacket is welded by a space truss and a transition section. The bottom of the column of the space truss is connected to the center of the top of the suction cylinder, and the transition section is used to connect to the tower. The top of the jacket is connected to the tower through the transition section, and the upper part of the tower is connected to the wind turbine. The multi-tube jacket-based wind turbine 1 has high structural strength and strong bearing capacity, and is highly applicable to deep-water wind farms.

[0059] The deck surface of the integrated mechanized construction vessel 4 is laid with two slide rails 2 running the length of the vessel. The other side of the hull provides space for the lifting equipment 5 and other necessary work and living areas. The two slide rails 2 are parallel to each other, typically spaced 10-15 meters apart. One slide rail 2 is laid 2-3 meters from the deck edge. The length of the two slide rails 2 is determined by the length of the integrated mechanized construction vessel 4, typically 150-200 meters.

[0060] A lifting mechanism 3 and a lifting device 5 are provided at the stern of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4. The lifting mechanism 3 is located on the side of the slide rail on the deck of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4, and the lifting device 5 is located on the other side of the deck of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4.

[0061] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a worm gear transmission 13 and a lifting panel 14 connected to the worm gear transmission 13. The worm gear transmission 13 is driven by a motor to drive the lifting panel 14 to rise or fall. The surface of the lifting panel 14 is also provided with a slide rail 2. When the lifting panel 14 is in the highest position, the lifting panel 14 is flush with the deck of the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4, making the lifting panel 14 a part of the deck; at the same time, the slide rail 2 on the surface of the lifting panel 14 is aligned with the slide rail on the deck and connected as a whole. When the lifting panel 14 is in the lowest position, the lifting panel 14 is submerged below the water surface for a certain distance, which is determined according to the set depth of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1.

[0062] The lifting device 5 is 10-15m away from the stern and 5-10m away from the side of the ship; the lifting method and specifications are consistent with the lifting device of the existing crane ship, and the winch type is a hydraulic winch.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the carrying trolley 6 includes a carrying panel 10, a through-hole shaft 8, rollers 7, and a motor. The dimensions of the carrying panel 10 are 30m×30m×0.4m, and are used to place the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1. The dimensions of the rollers 7 match those of the slide rails 2, with a wheel width of 15-20cm and a diameter of 30-50cm. The rollers 7 can roll along the slide rails 2. The through-hole shaft 8 is perpendicular to the slide rails 2, and its length is the same as the distance between the two slide rails 2, which is 10-15m. Four roller wheels 7 are arranged at the bottom of the carrying panel 10, and the two rollers 7 arranged opposite each other are connected by the through-hole shaft 8. The two ends of the through-hole shaft 8 are connected to the carrying panel 10 through bearings, and the through-hole shaft 8 is equipped with a motor. Driven by the motor, the through-hole shaft 8 drives the rollers 7 to rotate, thereby enabling the carrying trolley 6 to carry the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 and move linearly on the slide rails 2.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, a number of fixed supports 9 are arranged in groups on both sides of the two slide rails 2. The fixed supports 9 correspond to the position of the transporting pallet 6 when the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is in place on the deck of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4, and the position of the transporting pallet 6 when the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is in place on the lifting mechanism 3. The bottom of the fixed support 9 is fixed to the deck on both sides of the two slide rails 2. The upper part of the fixed support 9 is provided with a positioning hole with a diameter of 10 cm. The axis of the positioning hole is collinear with the axis of the through hole shaft 8 of the transporting pallet 6 when in place. When the transporting pallet 6 carries the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 and moves to the designed parking position, the through hole shaft 8 of the transporting pallet 6 is aligned with the positioning hole of the fixed support 9. Anchor bolts 12 with a diameter of 9 cm are inserted into the positioning hole of the fixed support 9 and the through hole shaft 8 of the transporting pallet 6 in sequence, thereby limiting and fixing the transporting pallet 6.

[0065] like Figure 6As shown, the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is fixedly connected to the carrying panel 10 of the carrying vehicle 6 via a clamping device 11. The clamping devices 11 are arranged around each suction cylinder of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1, with 4-6 clamping devices 11 corresponding to each suction cylinder. The clamping devices 11 are fixed to the carrying panel 10 at the bottom and are provided with snap-fit ​​structures at the top. These snap-fit ​​structures can lock the corresponding positions of the suction cylinders, thus achieving a rigid connection between the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 and the carrying vehicle 6.

[0066] The transportation and installation process of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 constructed using the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 is as follows:

[0067] (1) Loading the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1:

[0068] The integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 is moored at a designated work dock, which is equipped with tracks capable of connecting to a lifting panel 14 and onto which a transport trolley 6 is pre-installed. A land-based crane is used to hoist the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 onto the transport panel 10 of the transport trolley 6. The clamping device 11 engages each suction cylinder of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1, securing the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 and the transport trolley 6 to form a single motion system with no relative motion.

[0069] The transporting trolley 6 transports the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 from the designated working dock along the track and slide rail 2 to the designed parking position on the deck of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4, and inserts the anchor bolt 12 through the positioning through hole of the fixed support 9 along the through hole axis 8 of the transporting trolley 6 to limit and fix the transporting trolley 6. At this time, the ventilation / water holes of each suction cylinder of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 are in an open state.

[0070] The above process is repeated several times, and multiple transporting carts 6 carrying the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbines 1 are fixed to the various designed parking positions of the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 in sequence.

[0071] (2) The integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 travels to the designated sea area and prepares for lowering and installation operations.

[0072] (3) Pull out the anchor bolts 12 from the carrier trolley 6 closest to the lifting mechanism 3, so that the carrier trolley 6 can slide along the slide rails 2. At this time, the lifting panel 14 is in the highest position, that is, the lifting panel 14 is flush with the deck of the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4. Slide the carrier trolley 6 carrying the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to be installed onto the lifting panel 14, and fix the fixed support 9 on the lifting panel 14 to the carrier trolley 6 through the anchor bolts 12, ensuring that the carrier trolley 6 and the lifting mechanism 3 form the same motion system without relative motion.

[0073] (4) Connect the hook of the lifting device 5 on the integrated mechanical construction ship 4 to the lifting lug of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1.

[0074] (5) Start the motor of the lifting mechanism 3 and lower the lifting panel 14 at a constant speed through the worm gear transmission device 13. When the lifting panel 14 descends until the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 reaches the set depth, close the ventilation / water holes. Open the clamping device 11, so that the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 can be separated from the carrier trolley 6. At this time, since the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is partially submerged in water, the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is lifted by the lifting device 5 and is subject to a certain buoyancy.

[0075] The set depth is the depth of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 where the volume of gas inside the suction tube accounts for 10%-30% of the volume of the suction tube.

[0076] (6) The hoisting device 5 rotates the boom to pull the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 horizontally from above the lifting panel 14 to the rear of the stern of the integrated mechanical construction ship 4, ready for sinking.

[0077] (7) After the wind turbine 1 on the multi-tube jacket foundation sinks under its own weight, it sinks to the designated position under negative pressure, and the soil inside the suction tube is reinforced under negative pressure. The specific operations are as follows:

[0078] Open the ventilation / water holes to allow the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to sink under its own weight, and the multi-tube jacket foundation penetrates the soil surface until its own weight and soil resistance are balanced and the sinking stops. The water pump pumps water or air through the ventilation / water holes to increase the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cylinder, so that the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 sinks to the specified position under negative pressure; during the sinking process, different suction cylinders are filled / drained or exhausted through the ventilation / water holes to achieve the leveling operation of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1; after the sinking is completed, the negative pressure is continued for a period of time to reinforce the soil inside the suction cylinder under negative pressure.

[0079] (8) After completing the above operations, the connection between the hook of the lifting device 5 and the lifting lug of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is released, and the integrated mechanical construction ship 4 travels to the next installation location, and the above steps (2)-(7) are repeated to install the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 on the next carrier trolley 6 closest to the lifting mechanism 3.

[0080] The recovery process of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 construction method based on the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 is as follows:

[0081] (1) The integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 travels to the designated sea area and adjusts the position of the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 so that the wind turbine 1 of the multi-tube jacket foundation to be recovered is located below the rear of the vessel;

[0082] The lifting mechanism 3 adjusts the lifting panel 14 to the lowest position, and fixes the transporting trolley 6 carrying the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to be recovered on the lifting panel 14 through the anchor bolts 12 and the fixing support 9;

[0083] The hook of the lifting device 5 on the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 is connected to the lifting lug of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 .

[0084] (2) Slowly inject water into the suction cylinder through the ventilation / water hole to lift the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to be recovered. When the suction cylinder is completely unearthed, open the ventilation / water hole and use the lifting device 5 to lift the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to the set depth.

[0085] At this time, the suction cylinder is not completely surfaced, and the lifting device 5 still bears part of the weight of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 to ensure the floating stability of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 during the lifting process.

[0086] (3) The hoisting device 5 rotates the boom to pull the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 horizontally from the rear of the stern to above the lifting panel 14.

[0087] (4) The clamping device 11 of the carrying trolley 6 on the lifting panel 14 clamps each suction cylinder of the multi-tube jacket-based wind turbine 1, so that the multi-tube jacket-based wind turbine 1 and the carrying trolley 6 become the same motion system without relative motion.

[0088] (5) The motor of the lifting mechanism 3 is started, and the lifting panel 14 is raised at a constant speed through the worm gear transmission device 13. When the lifting panel 14 is flush with the deck of the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4, the transporting trolley 6 carrying the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1 is moved along the slide rails 2 to the designed parking position on the deck, completing the recovery of the multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbine 1.

[0089] Afterwards, the integrated mechanical construction vessel 4 can travel to other designated sea areas to complete the recovery of other multi-tube jacket foundation wind turbines 1 .

[0090] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments. The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms of specific changes without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
