Anti-scouring device for wind turbine monopile

Abstract

This invention relates to an anti-scour device for a wind turbine monopile, comprising a first anti-scour component, tire components, and a reinforcing component. The first anti-scour component is mounted on a base and includes a bracket and a first anti-scour net. The bracket is arranged around the periphery of the wind turbine monopile's pole, and the first anti-scour net is disposed on the side wall of the bracket, spaced apart from the pole to form a receiving space. Multiple tire components are disposed within the receiving space and are connected and fixed to the bracket via cables. The reinforcing component includes a sleeve and multiple tie rods. The sleeve is fitted around the periphery of the pole, and the multiple tie rods are spaced apart along the circumference of the pole, with both ends of the tie rods connected and fixed to the sleeve and the bracket, respectively. Under the anti-scour action of the first anti-scour component and the tire components, the sand and gravel layer surrounding the wind turbine monopile can be protected, preventing or reducing seawater erosion of the sand and gravel layer and the formation of scour pits, ensuring that the sand and gravel layer can provide sufficient load to the base and guaranteeing the stability of the wind turbine monopile.
