[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 5The shown offshore floating wind turbine has a mounting plate 7 connected to the top of the chassis 1 in a circular rotation, and a wind turbine body 4 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 7. The wind turbine body 4 is a prior art technology and can generate electricity using wind power. Its working principle will not be repeated here. A group of fixed floating blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 7, and a movable floating block 6 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 7. A plurality of pull ropes 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 1, and the pull ropes 2 are used to fix the unit. A scale 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed floating block 5 and the movable floating block 6. The scale 18 is convenient for people to observe the height of the unit.
[0035] The upper surface of the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 12, and the top inner wall of the fixing frame 12 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 13, and an electric push rod 15 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the fixing seat 13. A slide groove 16 is provided on one side of the movable float 6, and a sliding seat 14 is slidably connected in the slide groove 16. The sliding seat 14 is rotatably connected to one end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 15. When the weather is windy, the electric push rod 15 is started, and the electric push rod 15 pushes the sliding seat 14 to move downward, thereby driving the movable float 6 to move downward, increasing the buoyancy of the movable float 6, thereby resisting the wind force and improving the stability of the unit.
[0036] The bottom of the slide groove 16 is fixedly connected with a spring 17, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixed to the sliding seat 14. The spring 17 is used to give the movable floating block 6 a certain buffering ability to avoid hard contact.
[0037] The driving assembly is arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 7 to control the direction of the mounting plate 7.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 The driving assembly includes a mounting cylinder 8 and a mounting frame 11. The mounting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 7. The top inner wall of the mounting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the reducer 9. The mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the circumferential inner wall of the support column 3. The top of the mounting frame 11 and one end of the output shaft of the reducer 9 are fixedly connected with a gear 10. The two gears 10 are engaged, and the reducer 9 is started. The reducer 9 drives the mounting cylinder 8 and the mounting plate 7 to rotate through the gear 10, so that the wind turbine body 4 faces the direction of the wind, which is convenient for power generation.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 A floating plate 19 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the chassis 1 away from one end of the wind turbine body 4, a first pressure rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable floating block 6, and a roller 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first pressure rod 20.
[0040] Reference Figure 5The upper surface of the mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to two fixing plates 22, and a mounting shaft 23 is rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 22. The circumference of the mounting shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the force-bearing plate 24, and the circumference of the mounting shaft 23 is fixedly connected to two second pressure rods 25. The upper surface of the mounting plate 7 is provided with two symmetrically arranged avoidance slides 26 used in conjunction with the two second pressure rods 25. A floating frame 27 is slidably connected between the two avoidance slides 26. One side of the floating frame 27 is provided with two penetrating through-holes 30. A pressure shaft 29 is fixedly connected between the two sides of the two through-holes 30. The two second pressure rods 25 pass through the two through-holes 30 respectively and contact the bottom circumference of the two pressure shafts 29. Both sides of the floating frame 27 are fixedly connected to the limit rod 28, and the limit rod 28 is slidably connected to the avoidance slide 26. When the wind blows the force-bearing plate 24 to rotate, the force-bearing plate 24 drives the mounting shaft 23 and the second pressure rod 25 to rotate. The second pressure rod 25 presses the floating frame 27 downward, thereby balancing the buoyancy of the unit and improving the stability of the unit.
[0041] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the wind turbine body 4 and the electric push rod 15 are commonplace, and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0042] When the offshore floating wind turbine is in use, the unit is fixed by a pull rope 2, and the unit is floated by a fixed float 5 and a movable float 6. The reducer 9 is started, and the reducer 9 drives the mounting cylinder 8 and the mounting plate 7 to rotate through the gear 10, so that the wind turbine body 4 faces the direction of the wind, which is convenient for power generation.
[0043] When encountering severe windy weather, the electric push rod 15 is started, and the electric push rod 15 pushes the sliding seat 14 to move downward, thereby driving the movable float 6 to move downward, increasing the buoyancy of the movable float 6, thereby resisting the wind and improving the stability of the unit. When the movable float 6 moves downward, it drives the first pressure rod 20 to move downward, and the first pressure rod 20 pushes the float plate 19 to rotate, so that the float plate 19 presents a certain angle, and then uses the sea water moving with the wind to push the float plate 19, and then cooperates with the movable float 6 to resist the wind. When the wind speed is normal, the force-bearing plate 24 is blown to rotate, and the force-bearing plate 24 drives the mounting shaft 23 and the second pressure rod 25 to rotate. The second pressure rod 25 presses the floating frame 27 downward, thereby balancing the buoyancy of the unit and improving the stability of the unit.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
