[0041] Referring to Figure 2 A structural diagram of a floating wind power floating body is shown, the floating wind power floating body includes a first section floating body, a second section floating body and a third section floating body; the first section floating body is provided with a first water storage device and a second water storage device; the second section floating body is provided with a third water storage device and a fourth water storage device; the third section floating body is provided with a fifth water storage device and a sixth water storage device;

[0042] The first section floating body is connected with the second section floating body through a first sealing device; the first section floating body is connected with the third section floating body through a second sealing device;

[0043] The first water storage device and the second water storage device are connected through a first transmission device; the third water storage device and the fourth water storage device are connected through a second transmission device; the fifth water storage device and the sixth water storage device are connected through a third transmission device;

[0044] The first transmission device, the second transmission device and the third transmission device are respectively provided with a water pumping device; the length of the first section of the floating body is greater than the length of the second section of the floating body and the length of the third section of the floating body, and the length of the second section of the floating body is equal to the length of the third section of the floating body.

[0045] In the specific application process, by dividing the floating wind power floating body into three sections of floating bodies, the water pumping devices in the transmission devices in each section of the floating body can be controlled to work at the same time, the liquid stored in the starting water storage device is flowed to the terminal water storage device connected thereto at a preset flow rate or a target flow rate, so that the terminal water storage device in each section of the floating body stores a target volume of water at the same time, the center of gravity of the floating wind power floating body is adjusted to the intersection of the XOY plane, and the floating wind power floating body reaches balance, instead of the existing floating wind power floating body that the water in the water storage barrel 1 is respectively transmitted to the water storage barrel 2 and the water storage barrel 3, thereby reducing the balance adjustment time of the floating wind power floating body.

[0046] In the embodiment, the water storage device in the floating wind power floating body can be a water storage barrel, the transmission device can be a water pipe, and the water pumping device can be a water pump. The specific selection of the water storage device, the transmission device and the water pumping device can be selected according to the actual application, and the embodiment of the application is not limited herein.

[0047] The water storage device can be a first water storage device, a second water storage device, a third water storage device, a fourth water storage device, a fifth water storage device, or a sixth water storage device; and the transmission device can be a first transmission device, a second transmission device, or a third transmission device.

[0048] In combination Figure 2 , referring to Figure 3 , the first section of the floating body is further provided with a tower bearing device, a tower and a wind power device;

[0049] One end of the tower is connected with the wind power device, and the other end of the tower is connected with the tower bearing device through the third sealing device, so as to support the tower and the wind power device through the tower bearing device.

[0050] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the application, the first sealing device, the second sealing device and the third sealing device are flanges.

[0051] The above is only a preferred mode of a sealing device of the embodiment of the application, and the specific selection of the sealing device can be selected according to the actual application, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, before the first section of the floating wind power floating body, the second section of the floating wind power floating body and the third section of the floating wind power floating body are spliced, the fixing device corresponding to each section of the floating body can be arranged, and each section of the floating body can be fixed into the corresponding fixing device, as shown in Figure 4 , so as to avoid mutual abrasion of each section of the floating wind power floating body during transportation.

[0053] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, the corresponding storage device can be further arranged to store each section of the floating body fixed by the corresponding fixing device on the storage device, as shown in Figure 5 , so as to further avoid damage to the floating wind power floating body during transportation.

[0054] Referring to Figure 6 , a flowchart of a balancing method of a floating wind power floating body is shown, the balancing method of the floating wind power floating body is suitable for the floating wind power floating body provided in the embodiments of the present application, and the balancing method of the floating wind power floating body specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S601: determining a target flow rate according to a preset flow rate, a length of the first section of the floating body and a length of the second section of the floating body.

[0056] If the preset flow rate is the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device, the target flow rate is the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device; if the preset flow rate is the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device, the target flow rate is the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device; and the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device is equal to the flow rate of the liquid in the third transmission device.

[0057] The applicant found that after the floating wind power floating body is divided into three sections of the floating body, the VL liquid in the first storage device can be extracted to the second storage device, the VL liquid in the third storage device can be extracted to the fourth storage device, and the VL liquid in the fifth storage device can be extracted to the sixth storage device.

[0058] That is, the time taken to draw VL liquid from the water storage bucket 1 to the water storage bucket 2 and the water storage bucket 3 can be T1=V / a×(P+D), and the time taken to draw the stored VL liquid in the first water storage device to the second water storage device, to draw the stored VL liquid in the third water storage bucket to the fourth water storage device, and to draw the stored VL liquid in the fifth water storage bucket to the sixth water storage device can be T2=max{V / a×P,V / a×D}. Wherein VL is the volume of the liquid stored in the first water storage device, the third water storage device and the fifth water storage device, aL / (h·m) is the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device, the second transmission device and the third transmission device, P(m) is the length of the first section of the floating wind power body in the XOP plane, and D(m) is the length of the second section of the floating wind power body and the third section of the floating wind power body in the XOP plane.

[0059] Therefore, for the existing floating wind power body and the floating wind power body provided by the embodiment of the present application, under the premise that the pumping power of the pumping device used and the flow rate of the liquid do not change, the same amount of liquid is pumped, and the time taken by the floating wind power body provided by the embodiment of the present application is shorter.

[0060] In order to balance the floating wind power body provided by the present application, it is necessary to control the volume of the liquid in the second water storage device, the fourth water storage device and the sixth water storage device in the floating wind power body to reach VL at the same time, that is, the time for the pumping device arranged on the first transmission device to perform pumping work, the time for the pumping device arranged on the second transmission device to perform pumping work, and the time for the pumping device arranged on the third transmission device to perform pumping work are the same, so the floating wind power body needs to satisfy V / a×P=V / b×D, that is, b=aD / P. Wherein VL is the volume of the liquid stored in the first water storage device, the third water storage device and the fifth water storage device, aL / (h·m) is the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device, bL / (h·m) is the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device, Pm is the length of the first section of the floating wind power body, and Dm is the length of the second section of the floating wind power body and the third section of the floating wind power body.

[0061] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, b can be set to a preset flow rate, or bL / (h·m) can be set to a preset flow rate, that is, aL / (h·m) can be set to a preset flow rate, or b can be set to a preset flow rate.

[0062] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, if the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device is the preset flow rate, and the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is the target flow rate, according to the preset flow rate, the length of the first section of the floating body and the length of the second section of the floating body, the specific process of determining the target flow rate can be: calculating the product of the length of the second section of the floating body and the preset flow rate, and dividing the product of the length of the second section of the floating body and the preset flow rate by the length of the first section of the floating body to obtain the target flow rate.

[0063] For example, if the flow rate a L / (h·m) of the liquid in the first transmission device is the preset flow rate, the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is the target flow rate b L / (h·m), and b=aD / P. Assuming that a=10 8 L / (h·m), P=100m, D=50m, then b=aD / P=5*10 7 L / (h·m).

[0064] As another preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, if the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device is the preset flow rate, and the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device is the target flow rate, according to the preset flow rate, the length of the first section of the floating body and the length of the second section of the floating body, the specific process of determining the target flow rate can be: calculating the product of the length of the first section of the floating body and the preset flow rate, and dividing the product of the length of the first section of the floating body and the preset flow rate by the length of the second section of the floating body to obtain the target flow rate.

[0065] For example, if the flow rate b L / (h·m) of the liquid in the second transmission device is the preset flow rate, the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is the target flow rate a L / (h·m), and since b=aD / P, a=bP / D. Assuming that b=10 8 L / (h·m), P=100m, D=50m, then a=bP / D=2*10 8 L / (h·m).

[0066] S602: Control the water pumping device on the transmission device in each section of the floating body to perform water pumping work, and pump the liquid stored in the starting water storage device to the terminal water storage device connected thereto at a preset flow rate or a target flow rate, so that the terminal water storage device in each section of the floating body simultaneously stores a target volume of water, and the floating wind power floating body reaches balance.

[0067] Each water inlet device pre-stores a target volume of water; the starting water storage device and the terminal water storage device connected thereto include: a first water storage device and a second water storage device, a third water storage device and a fourth water storage device, and a fifth water storage device and a sixth water storage device.

[0068] As a preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, if the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device is the preset flow rate, and the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is the target flow rate, the specific process of controlling the pumping device on the transmission device in each section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the starting water storage device to the specific terminal water storage device at the preset flow rate or the target flow rate can be as follows:

[0069] controlling the pumping device on the first transmission device in the first section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the first water storage device to the second water storage device at the preset flow rate; controlling the pumping device on the second transmission device in the second section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the third water storage device to the fourth water storage device at the target flow rate; and controlling the pumping device on the third transmission device in the third section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the fifth water storage device to the sixth water storage device at the target flow rate.

[0070] As another preferred mode of the embodiment of the present application, if the flow rate of the liquid in the second transmission device is the preset flow rate, and the flow rate of the liquid in the first transmission device is the target flow rate, the specific process of controlling the pumping device in the transmission device in each section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the starting water storage device to the specific terminal water storage device at the preset flow rate or the target flow rate can be as follows:

[0071] controlling the pumping device on the first transmission device in the first section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the first water storage device to the second water storage device at the target flow rate; controlling the pumping device on the second transmission device in the second section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the third water storage device to the fourth water storage device at the preset flow rate; and controlling the pumping device on the third transmission device in the third section of the floating body to work to pump the liquid stored in the fifth water storage device to the sixth water storage device at the preset flow rate.

[0072] For example, assuming that 1L of liquid is stored in the first water storage device, the third water storage device and the fifth water storage device in advance, the flow rate a of the liquid in the first transmission device is the preset flow rate, the length P of the first section of the floating body is 100m, and the length D of the second section of the floating body and the third section of the floating body is 50m, then the target flow rate b is aD / P=50L / (h·m), that is, the flow rate b of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is 50L / (h·m).

[0073] Further, the pumping time T1 of the pumping device in the first transmission device can be calculated as V / a×P=1h, the pumping time T2 of the pumping device in the second transmission device can be calculated as V / b×D=1h, and the pumping time T2 of the pumping device in the third transmission device can be calculated as V / b×D=1h.

[0074] Therefore, the water pumping device in the first transmission device in the first section of the floating body is controlled to work, the liquid stored in the first water storage device is flowed to the second water storage device at a preset flow rate a L / (h·m), the water pumping device in the second transmission device in the second section of the floating body is controlled to work, the liquid stored in the third water storage device is flowed to the fourth water storage device at a target flow rate b L / (h·m), and the water pumping device in the third transmission device in the third section of the floating body is controlled to work, the liquid stored in the fifth water storage device is flowed to the sixth water storage device at a target flow rate b L / (h·m), so that the second water storage device, the fourth water storage device and the sixth water storage device store the water volume of VL at the same time, and the floating wind power floating body provided in the embodiment of the application reaches balance.

[0075] In the specific application process, it can be known from the above example that, assuming that the flow rate a of the liquid in the first transmission device is 100 L / (h·m) as the preset flow rate, the flow rate b of the liquid in the second transmission device and the third transmission device is 50 L / (h·m), the length P of the first section of the floating body is 100 m, and the length D of the second section of the floating body and the third section of the floating body is 50 m, then the water pumping working time of the water pumping device on each transmission device is 1 h.

[0076] Similarly, assuming that Figure 1 The length of the floating body corresponding to the water storage barrel 1 of the existing floating wind power floating body shown in the figure is 100 m, the length of the floating body of the water storage barrel 2 to the water storage barrel 3 is 50 m, if the volume of the liquid pre-stored in the water storage barrel 1 is 1 L, and the flow rate of the liquid of VL extracted from the water storage barrel 1 to the water storage barrel 2 and the water storage barrel 3 is 100 L / (h·m), then the water pumping working time T of the existing floating wind power floating body is 1.5 h, that is, the existing floating wind power floating body needs 1.5 h to reach balance, and the floating wind power floating body provided in the embodiment of the application only needs 1 h to reach balance, so that the floating wind power floating body provided in the embodiment of the application can reduce the corresponding balance time.

[0077] The application provides a balance method of a floating wind power floating body, by dividing the floating wind power floating body into three sections of floating bodies, the water pumping device in the transmission device in each section of the floating body can be controlled to work at the same time, the liquid stored in the starting water storage device is flowed to the terminal water storage device connected thereto at a preset flow rate or a target flow rate, so that the terminal water storage device in each section of the floating body stores a target volume of water at the same time, and the floating wind power floating body reaches balance, instead of the existing floating wind power floating body that transmits the water in the water storage barrel 1 to the water storage barrel 2 and the water storage barrel 3, thereby reducing the balance adjustment time of the floating wind power floating body.
