Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-corrosion technology for steel piles used in wind power foundations, specifically to an anti-corrosion structure for steel piles used in deep-sea wind power foundations and a method for achieving anti-corrosion. Background Technology
[0002] Wind power is the world's fastest-growing green energy technology. While the construction of onshore wind farms is developing rapidly, people have noticed some limitations of onshore wind energy utilization, such as large land area and noise pollution. Due to the abundant offshore wind energy resources and the feasibility of current technology, the ocean will become a rapidly developing wind power market. Offshore wind farms are on the verge of large-scale development. The wind turbine foundation is the supporting platform for offshore wind turbines, and the foundation steel piles are steel structure piles buried deep in the sea to support the wind turbine foundation. The stability of the wind turbine foundation steel piles determines whether the wind turbine can operate normally.
[0003] Traditional deep-sea wind turbine foundation steel piles are highly susceptible to corrosion due to the fact that most of the foundation steel piles are usually located in seawater. To improve the corrosion resistance of the foundation steel piles, anti-corrosion coatings are typically applied. However, the anti-corrosion performance of these coatings gradually decreases over time, allowing the foundation steel piles to come into direct contact with seawater, which affects the anti-corrosion effect and reduces the service life of the deep-sea wind turbine foundation steel piles. Therefore, this paper proposes an anti-corrosion structure for deep-sea wind turbine foundation steel piles and its implementation method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant structure for deep-sea wind power foundation steel piles and a method for achieving corrosion resistance, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A corrosion-resistant structure for deep-sea wind power foundation steel piles includes a wind power foundation platform. Foundation steel piles are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom of the wind power foundation platform. A bottom base pipe is sleeved on the bottom of the outer side wall of the foundation steel pile. A support pipe is uniformly arranged above the bottom base pipe. A heat-shrinkable tape backing is sleeved on the outer side wall of the foundation steel pile. An adhesive layer is uniformly coated on the inner side wall of the heat-shrinkable tape backing. An epoxy resin layer is uniformly coated on one side of the adhesive layer.
[0007] Preferably, a support ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the bottom base tube, and one end of the heat shrinkable tape backing is fixedly connected to one end of the support ring.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of each support tube, and threaded grooves are opened on the top of the inner sidewalls of both the bottom base tube and the support tube, with the outer sidewall of the connecting ring threadedly connected to the inner sidewall of the threaded groove.
[0009] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the support ring is provided with exhaust holes evenly, and a prefabricated connecting seat is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the wind power foundation platform.
[0010] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the bottom base pipe, and the inner walls of both the bottom base pipe and the support pipe are filled with concrete castings.
[0011] A method for corrosion protection of steel piles for deep-sea wind power foundations includes the following steps:
[0012] S1. Move the foundation steel pile body, put the bottom base pipe and heat shrinkable tape backing on the bottom of the outer wall of the foundation steel pile body, and then use heating equipment to heat the heat shrinkable tape backing, so that the heat shrinkable tape backing shrinks due to heat and drives the adhesive layer and epoxy resin layer to adhere to the outer wall of the foundation steel pile body.
[0013] S2. Insert the foundation steel piles and bottom foundation pipe into the seabed using a pile driver and fix them in place;
[0014] S3. The movable support pipe is connected and fixed to the bottom base pipe using a connecting ring, so that the bottom base pipe and the support pipe are completely fitted onto the outer wall of the foundation steel pile.
[0015] S4. Use drainage equipment to drain the seawater between the connecting ring, support pipe and heat shrinkable tape backing.
[0016] S5. Insert the support frame into the bottom base pipe and the support pipe, and weld it to the inner bottom wall of the bottom base pipe.
[0017] S6. Using concrete pouring equipment, concrete is poured between the support pipe and the heat shrinkable tape backing to form a concrete casting body, thus completing the installation of the anti-corrosion structure.
[0018] S7. By using concrete casting, heat shrinkable tape backing, and epoxy resin layer to cover the outer wall of the foundation steel pile, direct contact between seawater and the foundation steel pile is avoided, thus improving the service life of the deep-sea wind power foundation steel pile.
[0019] Preferably, in step S1, the air between the foundation steel pile and the epoxy resin layer is squeezed by the shrinkable heat-shrinkable tape backing, and then the squeezed air is discharged through the exhaust hole so that the epoxy resin layer and the foundation steel pile can be fully bonded.
[0020] Preferably, in step S3, the connecting ring is rotated by rotating the support tube, and the rotating connecting ring uses a threaded groove to fix the support tube to the bottom base tube.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] This invention utilizes cast concrete to provide initial protection for the foundation steel piles, reducing the impact of seawater on the piles and preventing direct contact between seawater and the piles. Then, a shrinkable heat-shrinkable backing tape ensures a thorough bond between the epoxy resin layer and the pile, effectively blocking moisture from penetrating the piles and preventing direct contact. This enhances the corrosion protection of the deep-sea wind turbine foundation steel piles and extends their service life. Attached Figure Description

[0036] A method for corrosion protection of steel piles for deep-sea wind power foundations includes the following steps:
[0037] S1. Move the foundation steel pile 103, put the bottom base pipe 201 and heat shrinkable tape backing 204 on the bottom of the outer wall of the foundation steel pile 103, and then use heating equipment to heat the heat shrinkable tape backing 204, so that the heat shrinkable tape backing 204 shrinks due to heat and drives the adhesive layer 205 and epoxy resin layer 206 to adhere to the outer wall of the foundation steel pile 103.
[0038] S2. Insert the foundation steel piles 103 and the bottom foundation pipe 201 into the seabed using a pile driver and fix them in place;
[0039] S3. The movable support pipe 203 is connected and fixed to the bottom base pipe 201 by the connecting ring 202, so that the bottom base pipe 201 and the support pipe 203 are completely fitted onto the outer wall of the foundation steel pile body 103.
[0040] S4. Use drainage equipment to drain the seawater between the connecting ring 202, the support pipe 203 and the heat shrinkable tape backing 204.
[0041] S5. Insert the support frame 44 into the bottom base tube 201 and the support tube 203, and weld it to the inner bottom wall of the bottom base tube 201.
[0042] S6. Using concrete pouring equipment, concrete is poured between the support pipe 203 and the heat shrinkable tape backing 204 to form a concrete casting body 45, thus completing the installation of the anti-corrosion structure.
[0043] S7. By using concrete casting body 45, heat shrinkable tape backing 204 and epoxy resin layer 206 to cover the outer wall of foundation steel pile body 103, the direct contact between seawater and foundation steel pile body 103 is avoided, thus improving the service life of deep-sea wind power foundation steel pile.
[0044] In this embodiment, specifically: in S1, the air between the foundation steel pile 103 and the epoxy resin layer 206 is squeezed by the shrinkable heat shrinkable backing 204, and then the squeezed air is discharged through the exhaust hole 42 so that the epoxy resin layer 206 and the foundation steel pile 103 can be fully bonded; the air between the epoxy resin layer 206 and the foundation steel pile 103 is discharged through the exhaust hole 42.
[0045] In this embodiment, specifically: in S3, the connecting ring 202 is rotated by rotating the support tube 203, and the rotating connecting ring 202 uses the threaded groove 43 to fix the support tube 203 and the bottom base tube 201; the connecting ring 202 uses the threaded groove 43 to fix the support tube 203 and the bottom base tube 201.
[0046] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: During use, the foundation steel pile 103 is first moved so that the bottom base pipe 201 and heat-shrinkable backing tape 204 are fitted onto the bottom outer wall of the foundation steel pile 103. Then, the heat-shrinkable backing tape 204 is fully heated using heating equipment, causing it to shrink and adhere the adhesive layer 205 and epoxy resin layer 206 to the outer wall of the foundation steel pile 103. The shrinking heat-shrinkable backing tape 204 also compresses the air between the foundation steel pile 103 and the epoxy resin layer 206. This compressed air is then expelled through the vent 42, allowing the epoxy resin layer 206 to adhere to the outer wall of the foundation steel pile 103. 06 is fully fitted with the foundation steel pile 103, and then the foundation steel pile 103 and the bottom base pipe 201 are inserted into the seabed and fixed using a pile driver. Then, the support pipe 203 is moved to drive the connecting ring 202 to be fitted onto the foundation steel pile 103. Then, by rotating the support pipe 203, the connecting ring 202 is rotated. The rotating connecting ring 202 uses the threaded groove 43 to fix the support pipe 203 and the bottom base pipe 201. Then, the seawater between the connecting ring 202, the support pipe 203 and the heat shrinkable tape backing 204 is drained using drainage equipment. Then, the support frame 44 is erected on the connecting ring 202. Between the support pipe 203 and the heat-shrinkable tape backing 204, the bottom of the support frame 44 is welded to the inner bottom wall of the bottom base pipe 201. Then, using concrete pouring equipment, concrete is poured between the support pipe 203 and the heat-shrinkable tape backing 204 to form a concrete casting body 45, completing the installation of the anti-corrosion structure. Then, multiple foundation steel piles 103 and the anti-corrosion structure are installed and fixed in sequence. Then, using hoisting equipment, the wind turbine foundation platform 101 and the prefabricated connecting seat 102 are erected and fixed on the multiple foundation steel piles 103. The prefabricated connecting seat 102 is used to install the offshore wind power generation. After the overall equipment is installed, the foundation steel pile 103 is initially protected by the bottom base pipe 201, support pipe 203 and concrete pouring body 45, which reduces the impact of seawater on the foundation steel pile 103 and can block seawater to avoid direct contact between seawater and the foundation steel pile 103. Then, the heat shrinkable tape backing 204 and epoxy resin layer 206 block water vapor that penetrates the foundation steel pile 103, preventing water vapor from contacting the foundation steel pile 103, increasing the corrosion protection of the deep-sea wind power foundation steel pile and improving the service life of the deep-sea wind power foundation steel pile.
[0047] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
