Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of tubular pile on-ship transportation, and particularly relates to a large-diameter suction cylinder construction process for offshore wind power jacket. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the construction of offshore wind power, the construction of wind power jacket foundation is an important work in offshore wind farm engineering. Due to the large volume and weight of offshore wind power jacket foundation, a large amount of manpower, material resources and time cost are often consumed in the manufacturing process. The offshore wind power jacket foundation mainly consists of a suction cylinder, a main structure and a transition section.

[0003] The suction cylinder consists of a cylinder and a jacket leg assembly arranged at the upper end of the cylinder. The cylinder is composed of multiple cylinder segments. The cylinder has a diameter of 14-15 m, a plate thickness of 26-30 mm and a height of 16-18 m. The diameter is large, and the plate body is thin. The current construction process of the suction cylinder includes: the cylinder segments are formed by being integrally rolled by a plate rolling machine, the rolled cylinder segments are placed on a roller frame for axial assembly welding, and finally the cylinder segments are welded with the jacket leg assembly. The existing construction process has the following defects: 1. Due to the large diameter and thin plate body of the cylinder segment, deformation is prone to occur during the integral rolling by the plate rolling machine, which cannot guarantee the roundness of the cylinder segment, and it is difficult to assemble the cylinder segment axially; 2. The end surfaces of two adjacent cylinder segments are in contact to form an annular gap when they are placed on the roller frame for axial assembly. The rollers on the roller frame rotate to drive the two cylinder segments to rotate synchronously in a circle, thereby realizing the welding of the annular gap. However, due to the gravity of the cylinder segment, the outer wall of the cylinder segment is concave towards the center when it is placed axially on the roller frame, and the cylinder segment is prone to deformation. When the cylinder segment rotates, the trajectory is an ellipse. Therefore, the welding end of the welding gun cannot always maintain consistent spacing with the annular gap between the two adjacent cylinder segments, which affects the verticality of the splicing of the multiple cylinder segments and the structural strength.
