Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of wind power generation equipment, and specifically relates to an integrated fixed wind turbine and floating reef device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Depending on the working scenario and nature of the stationary wind turbine, various situations may be encountered when generating electricity through wind power, but not limited to the one mentioned below. More specifically, when generating electricity through wind power, the airflow drives the wind turbine blades to rotate, so as to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, thus converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.

[0003] Furthermore, stationary wind turbines are usually installed in locations with suitable wind conditions, such as near the sea or grasslands, when generating electricity. Wind turbines used for wind power generation are usually set up in arrays, so the surrounding ocean currents are relatively stable. However, they are not fully utilized. Over a long period of time, marine organisms such as mussels will attach to the surface of the stationary wind turbines and build nests. Over the years, this may affect the strength of the stationary wind turbines.

[0004] Based on the two points mentioned above, we found that existing fixed wind turbines cannot simultaneously avoid the above problems. Even if they can be solved, they require frequent cleaning and other operations at the turbine location, which cannot achieve the desired effect. Therefore, we propose an integrated fixed wind turbine and floating reef device that can be installed in conjunction with a fixed wind turbine to utilize the relatively stable ocean currents in the surrounding area. The floating reef can also attract fish and shellfish from the surrounding area, thus preventing them from damaging the fixed wind turbine.

[0005] Chinese patent CN107410126A discloses an integrated system of a fixed wind turbine and a nearshore aquaculture cage, including a monopile wind turbine and a circular aquaculture cage. The monopile wind turbine is fixed to the seabed by a monopile base. The circular aquaculture cage is fitted onto the monopile wind turbine using hinges, buckles, and sliding contact devices. The upper surface of the circular aquaculture cage is located near the water surface, and a hanging chain is suspended from the lower surface of the circular aquaculture cage for suspending aquatic products. The monopile wind turbine in this invention has a simple structure, is convenient to construct, has low construction cost, and is widely applicable. The combination of the circular aquaculture cage and the monopile wind turbine base can improve the effective utilization rate of the sea area. The structural design is reasonable and stable, the construction scheme is technically mature, the selection of the monopile wind turbine is simple, and the circular aquaculture cage is detachable and replaceable. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the existing integrated fixed wind turbine and floating reef device and its usage method. Its advantages are that it can restore the ecology, prevent surrounding fish from damaging the wind turbine, and effectively utilize the relatively stable water flow around the wind turbine array.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an integrated fixed fan and floating reef device, comprising three fan uprights, a fan blade shaft is provided on the front side of the fan upright, a fish repelling component is provided on the outer side of the fan blade shaft, a connecting chain is bolted to the outer side of the fan upright, and a floating reef component is bolted to the side of the connecting chain away from the fan upright.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, three wind turbine masts are set up as a group, and the floating reef assembly and the wind turbine masts can be connected by a connecting chain. Fixed offshore wind turbines are generally located directly in the shallow seabed. The number of wind turbine masts will disperse the entire current, reduce the force of the water flow, and make the position of the floating reef assembly relatively stable.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the fish-driving assembly includes a transmission assembly, and an installation frame is provided on the outer side of the transmission assembly. The number of installation frames is four. An ultrasonic fish-driving device is bolted to the surface of the top installation frame, and an inner frame is bolted to the inner side of each of the three bottom installation frames. An elastic pad is bolted to the inner side of the inner frame, and the inner wall of the elastic pad is in contact with the fan pole.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation frame can be easily moved vertically by setting up a transmission component. The ultrasonic fish repellent can help drive fish and shellfish to the position of the floating reef component. The inner frame is used to connect the elastic pad, which can clean the surface of the fan pole and disperse surrounding fish.

[0011] The invention is further configured such that: the transmission assembly includes an outer pulley, a transmission pulley is disposed at the bottom of the outer pulley, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the transmission pulley, the rear side of the connecting shaft is bolted to the fan upright, the inner side of the outer pulley is bolted to the fan blade shaft, a mating shaft is bolted to the front side of the transmission pulley, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer side of the mating shaft, an extension rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting rod, the surface of the extension rod is bolted to the mounting frame, and the transmission pulley is connected to the outer pulley via a transmission belt.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, by setting a transmission pulley, the outer pulley is driven to rotate by the rotation of the fan blade shaft. The outer pulley drives the transmission pulley to rotate through the transmission belt. The rotation of the transmission pulley along the mating shaft can drive the mating shaft to rotate circumferentially, so that the mating shaft pushes the extension rod to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby driving the mounting frame.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: a limiting frame is slidably connected to the surface of the extension rod, and the rear side of the limiting frame is bolted to the fan upright.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a limiting frame, the movement position of the extension rod can be easily limited to avoid tilting.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the floating reef assembly includes a top frame, a reef cage is provided at the bottom of the top frame, a bottom frame is bolted to the bottom of the reef cage, an anchor cable is bolted to the bottom of the bottom frame, and an anchor block is bolted to the bottom of the anchor cable.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, a top frame is set up to cooperate with the bottom frame to install the reef cage. The anchor cable is used to connect the anchor block and the bottom frame. When the anchor block is dropped into the seabed, the position of the reef cage will be further fixed. The buoy is used to control the height of the reef cage.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: a supporting inner frame is bolted to the inner side of the top frame, a force-bearing frame is bolted to the bottom of the top frame, the bottom of the force-bearing frame is bolted to the bottom frame, a connecting block is bolted to the bottom of the bottom frame, and the bottom of the connecting block is bolted to the anchor cable.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a supporting inner frame is set up to further strengthen the top frame, a load-bearing frame is set up to ensure the connection between the top frame and the bottom frame, and a connecting block is set up to connect the bottom frame and the anchor cable.

[0019] The invention is further configured such that: a rotating block is rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame, the bottom of the rotating block is bolted to the reef cage, a magnetic mating block is bolted to the bottom of the reef cage, the surface of the magnetic mating block is bonded to the bottom frame, and the bottom frame is made of metal material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the reef cage can be rotated along the top frame by setting a rotating block. The magnetic cooperation block and the metal bottom frame are used to fix the position of the reef cage. Rotating the rotating block and the reef cage together along the top frame can move it to the sea surface, so as to facilitate ecological observation and control of the amount of attached substances on the surface of the reef cage or to clean the surface of the reef cage.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: a traction rope is bolted to the bottom of the magnetic mating block, and a buckle is bolted to the top of the top frame, the surface of the buckle engaging with the side of the traction rope away from the magnetic mating block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the towing rope can be easily pulled by the working vessel to rotate the reef cage, and the buckle can be easily attached to the towing rope.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: a rotating shaft is bolted to both sides of the rotating block, and the surface of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top frame.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a rotating shaft, the rotating block can rotate more reasonably inside the top frame, making the structure more reasonable.

[0025] A method for using an integrated stationary fan and floating reef device includes the following steps:

[0026] S1. Attach the connecting chain to the surface of the completed wind turbine, and attach the other end of the connecting chain to the outside of the top frame. Attach the anchor block to the anchor cable, and connect the anchor cable to the bottom frame. Then, drop it into the water to complete the installation of the floating reef assembly.

[0027] S2. The fan blade shaft of the blower can drive the outer pulley to rotate together due to the drive of the fan blades. The extension rod of the transmission component can also continuously move back and forth along the limit frame, so that the elastic pad is in continuous contact with the blower upright, wiping away the fish on its surface and preventing foreign objects from adhering.

[0028] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. By setting the transmission components, mounting frame and ultrasonic fish repellent of the fish repellent component, the surface of the wind turbine pole can be cleaned and the surrounding fish can be dispersed. The ultrasonic fish repellent can help drive the fish and shellfish to the position of the floating fish reef component.

[0030] 2. By setting up floating fish reef components, it is possible to adjust the ecology and attract fish to avoid damaging the wind turbine pole. By setting up rotating blocks, rotating shafts, traction ropes and magnetic blocks, it is easy to lift the reef cage out of the water to observe or treat the surface of the reef.

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] refer to Figure 1-7 An integrated fixed fan and floating reef device includes three fan poles 1. A fan blade shaft 2 is provided on the front side of the fan pole 1. A fish repelling component 3 is provided on the outer side of the fan blade shaft 2. A connecting chain 4 is bolted to the outer side of the fan pole 1. The three fan poles 1 are set as a group, and the floating reef component 5 and the fan pole 1 can be connected by the connecting chain 4.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the fish-repelling component 3 includes a transmission component 301. Four mounting frames 302 are provided on the outer side of the transmission component 301. An ultrasonic fish repeller 303 is bolted to the surface of the top mounting frame 302. Inner frames 304 are bolted to the inner sides of the bottom three mounting frames 302. Elastic pads 305 are bolted to the inner sides of the inner frames 304. The inner walls of the elastic pads 305 contact the fan pole 1. By using the transmission component 301 in conjunction with the mounting frames 302, the mounting frames 302 can be easily moved vertically. The ultrasonic fish repeller 303 can assist in driving fish and shellfish to the position of the floating reef component 5. The inner frames 304 are used to connect the elastic pads 305, which can clean the surface of the fan pole 1 and disperse surrounding fish.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the transmission assembly 301 includes an outer pulley 3011, a transmission pulley 3012 at the bottom of the outer pulley 3011, a connecting shaft 3013 rotatably connected to the inner side of the transmission pulley 3012, the rear side of the connecting shaft 3013 being bolted to the fan upright 1, the inner side of the outer pulley 3011 being bolted to the fan blade shaft 2, a mating shaft 3014 bolted to the front side of the transmission pulley 3012, a connecting rod 3015 rotatably connected to the outer side of the mating shaft 3014, and an extension rod 3016 rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting rod 3015. The surface of the mounting frame 302 is bolted to the mounting frame 302. The transmission pulley 3012 is connected to the outer pulley 3011 via a transmission belt. By setting the transmission pulley 3012, the outer pulley 3011 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the fan blade shaft 2. The outer pulley 3011 drives the transmission pulley 3012 to rotate via the transmission belt. The rotation of the transmission pulley 3012 along the mating shaft 3014 can drive the mating shaft 3014 to rotate circumferentially, so that the mating shaft 3014 pushes the extension rod 3016 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby driving the mounting frame 302.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, a limiting frame 14 is slidably connected to the surface of the extension rod 3016. The rear side of the limiting frame 14 is bolted to the fan upright 1. By setting the limiting frame 14, the movement position of the extension rod 3016 can be limited to avoid tilting.

[0047] Brief description of the usage process: When setting up the device, first attach the connecting chain 4 to the surface of the completed wind turbine, and attach the other end of the connecting chain 4 to the outside of the top frame 501. Attach the anchor block 505 with the anchor cable 504, and connect the anchor cable 504 to the bottom frame 503. Then, it is put into the water. The outer pulley 3011 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the wind turbine fan blade shaft 2. The outer pulley 3011 drives the transmission pulley 3012 to rotate through the transmission belt. The transmission pulley 3012 rotates along the mating shaft 3014, which can drive the mating shaft 3014 to rotate circumferentially. This causes the mating shaft 3014 to push the extension rod 3016 to move back and forth in the vertical direction, which in turn drives the mounting frame 302 to move back and forth in the vertical direction. During the movement, the elastic pad 305 can clean the surface of the wind turbine pole 1 and disperse the surrounding fish. The ultrasonic fish repeller 303 can help drive fish and shellfish to the position of the floating reef component 5.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] refer to Figure 1-9 It includes three wind turbine masts 1, with connecting chains 4 bolted to the outside of the wind turbine masts 1. A floating reef assembly 5 is bolted to the side of the connecting chain 4 away from the wind turbine masts 1. Fixed offshore wind turbines are generally located directly in the shallow seabed. The wind turbine masts 1 will disperse the entire current, reduce the force of the current, and make the position of the floating reef assembly 5 relatively stable.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the floating reef assembly 5 includes a top frame 501, a reef cage 502 at the bottom of the top frame 501, a bottom frame 503 bolted to the bottom of the reef cage 502, an anchor cable 504 bolted to the bottom of the bottom frame 503, and an anchor block 505 bolted to the bottom of the anchor cable 504. The reef cage 502 is installed by setting the top frame 501 and cooperating with the bottom frame 503. The anchor cable 504 is used to connect the anchor block 505 and the bottom frame 503. When the anchor block 505 is dropped into the seabed, it will further fix the position of the reef cage 502. The buoy is used to control the height of the reef cage 502.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 3 As shown, an inner support frame 6 is bolted to the inner side of the top frame 501, and a load-bearing frame 7 is bolted to the bottom of the top frame 501. The bottom of the load-bearing frame 7 is bolted to the bottom frame 503, and a connecting block 8 is bolted to the bottom of the bottom frame 503. The bottom of the connecting block 8 is bolted to the anchor cable 504. The inner support frame 6 is used to further strengthen the top frame 501, the load-bearing frame 7 is used to ensure the connection between the top frame 501 and the bottom frame 503, and the connecting block 8 can be used to connect the bottom frame 503 and the anchor cable 504.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, a rotating block 9 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the top frame 501. The bottom of the rotating block 9 is bolted to the reef cage 502. A magnetic mating block 13 is bolted to the bottom of the reef cage 502. The surface of the magnetic mating block 13 is bonded to the bottom frame 503. The bottom frame 503 is made of metal. By setting the rotating block 9, the reef cage 502 can be rotated along the top frame 501. The magnetic mating block 13 and the metal bottom frame 503 are used to fix the position of the reef cage 502. Rotating the rotating block 9 and the reef cage 502 together along the top frame 501 can move it to the sea surface, so as to facilitate ecological observation and control of the amount of attached substances on the surface of the reef cage 502 or to clean the surface of the reef cage 502.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, a towing rope 10 is bolted to the bottom of the magnetic mating block 13, and a buckle 11 is bolted to the top of the top frame 501. The surface of the buckle 11 is engaged with the side of the towing rope 10 away from the magnetic mating block 13. By setting the towing rope 10, it is easy for the working vessel to pull the towing rope 10 to drive the reef cage 502 to rotate. The buckle 11 can facilitate the attachment of the towing rope 10.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, rotating shafts 12 are bolted to both sides of the rotating block 9. The surface of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the top frame 501. By setting the rotating shaft 12, the rotating block 9 can rotate more reasonably inside the top frame 501, making the structure more reasonable.

[0055] Brief description of the usage process: The top frame 501 and the bottom frame 503 work together to install the reef cage 502. The anchor block 505 and the bottom frame 503 can be connected by the anchor cable 504. When the anchor block 505 is dropped into the seabed, it will further fix the position of the reef cage 502. The height of the reef cage 502 is controlled by the buoy. During regular ecological surveys, the reef cage 502 can be rotated along the top frame 501 by pulling the tow rope 10, so as to lift the reef cage 502 out of the water for easy observation or treatment of the reef surface.
