[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, to extend the window period for wind turbine leg hoisting operations and improve the stability of the hoisting process, this invention proposes a marine hoisting auxiliary device, including an auxiliary housing 1 fixedly mounted on the wind turbine leg 2. The auxiliary housing 1 has a rhomboid cross-section and is coaxially arranged with the wind turbine leg 2. Both ends of the auxiliary housing 1 near the wind turbine leg 2 are provided with transition arc edges. Both ends of the top of the auxiliary housing 1 are provided with lifting lugs 3, which are mirror-symmetrically distributed along the axis of the wind turbine leg 2. The lifting lugs 3 are located on the line connecting the more distant ends of the auxiliary housing 1. The auxiliary housing 1 is provided with an arc-shaped air return channel 8 that allows air to return and a unidirectional air guide channel 9.

[0027] The wind turbine leg 2 is vertically positioned on the ground. The hoisting equipment, connected to the lifting lug 3 via a cable, vertically hoists the auxiliary casing 1, positioning it directly above the wind turbine leg 2. The hoisting equipment then unwinds the cable, moving the auxiliary casing 1 from top to bottom and securing it onto the wind turbine leg 2. A secure connection is then established between the auxiliary casing 1 and the wind turbine leg 2. After this connection, the orientation of the auxiliary casing 1 is selected based on the wind direction in the construction area to maintain its stability during hoisting.

[0028] A semi-circular flow channel is provided at one end of the return channel 8 near the auxiliary housing 1. Both ends of the semi-circular flow channel are connected to linear flow channels. The flow enters the return channel 8 from the linear flow channel at one end and flows out from the other end after being guided, thus partially offsetting the oncoming wind.

[0029] The auxiliary shell 1 is in the shape of a rhombic column, and overhanging arc edges are arranged near the two ends, so that the auxiliary shell 1 is in the shape of a streamline as a whole, the turbulent dissipation rate can be increased, and the stability of hoisting construction can be improved.

[0030] The auxiliary shell 1 is in the shape of a rhombic column, and overhanging arc edges are arranged near the two ends, so that the auxiliary shell 1 is in the shape of a streamline as a whole, the turbulent dissipation rate can be increased, and the stability of hoisting construction can be improved.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in order to further improve the stability during hoisting, wind resistance and flow guide are realized. The backflow channels 8 and the flow guide channels 9 are equidistantly distributed along the axial direction of the auxiliary shell 1.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the positions of the backflow channels 8 and the flow guide channels 9 are arranged, and the flow guide of the outer wall of the auxiliary shell 1 to the wind is maintained. The flow guide channel 9 is located on one side of the air return port 6 of the backflow channel 8, and the air inlet port 5 and the air return port 6 of the backflow channel 8 are located on the two sides of the far end edges of the auxiliary shell 1.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3 , the opening area of the air inlet port 5 is greater than the opening area of the air return port 6. During the flow guiding process of the backflow channel 8, the wind speed will be lost, and the wind pressure can be maintained by reducing the opening area of the air return port 6.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the opening area of the air inlet port 5 is equal to the sum of the opening areas of the air return port 6 and the air passing port 7 of the flow guide channel 9. The air inlet port 5 enters part of the airflow, the air return port 6 discharges air, and the air passing port 7 guides air. In the state of equal area, the wind force balance on the sides of the air inlet port 5 and the air return port 6 can be maintained, and the stability of the auxiliary shell 1 can be ensured.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4 , the flow guide channel 9 is arranged. The flow guide channel 9 is in the shape of an arc, and the middle part of the arc protrudes outwardly from the auxiliary shell 1.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 , the gravity balance of the two ends of the auxiliary shell 1 is ensured. The two far ends of the auxiliary shell 1 are provided with the backflow channels 8, the flow guide channels 9 penetrate through the two far ends of the auxiliary shell 1, and the backflow channels 8 at the two ends of the auxiliary shell 1 are arranged in mirror symmetry along the axial direction of the auxiliary shell 1.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in order to connect the auxiliary shell 1 with the wind turbine pile leg 2, the wind turbine pile leg 2 can be hoisted synchronously when hoisting the auxiliary shell 1. The electromagnet 10 is arranged at equal angles around the axis on the inner wall of the auxiliary shell 1, and the movable end of the electromagnet 10 can be attached to the outer wall of the wind turbine pile leg 2. The hoisting rope 4 is arranged at equal angles around the axis on the bottom end of the auxiliary shell 1, and the clamp connected to the movable end of the hoisting rope 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the wind turbine pile leg 2. The power supply of the electromagnet 10 is arranged inside the auxiliary shell 1.

[0038] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a hoisting method of a ship hoisting auxiliary device, comprising the following steps: S1, connection, the auxiliary shell 1 is sleeved on the wind turbine pile leg 2, the auxiliary shell 1 is fixedly connected with the wind turbine pile leg 2, and then the lifting lug 3 at the top of the auxiliary shell 1 is connected through the hoisting rope of the hoisting equipment; S2, wind direction detection, the working condition wind direction of the hoisting area is detected through the wind direction sensor on the hoisting equipment, the direction of the auxiliary shell 1 is adjusted through the cable of the hoisting equipment according to the detected working condition wind direction, so that the openings of the backflow channel 8 and the guide flow channel 9 are on the windward surface; S3, hoisting, during the transportation of the wind turbine pile leg 2 by the hoisting equipment, the angle of the auxiliary shell 1 is adjusted correspondingly according to the rotation of the hoisting equipment, so that the openings of the backflow channel 8 and the guide flow channel 9 are always on the windward surface.

[0039] As shown in Figure 6 , in order to adjust the direction of the cable, a through hole is opened on the end surface of the driven gear for the cable to pass through, the cable passes through the through hole, the motor drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear drives the driven gear meshing therewith to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the cable, driving the auxiliary shell 1 to rotate, so that any one end of the two ends of the auxiliary shell 1 faces the windward surface, reducing the wind force received by the auxiliary shell 1. During the rotation, the driven gear rotates between ±90°.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 , the support structure of the hoisting equipment adopts a door-shaped support column, which includes two vertically arranged steel structure columns and a horizontal structure column connecting the top ends of the two steel structure columns.
