Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mooring systems, and in particular to a mooring device for a deep-sea floating wind power tension leg platform. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's offshore wind power industry, the engineering of floating wind turbine technology has received unprecedented attention in my country, and the comprehensive promotion of offshore wind power parity demonstration and large-scale development has entered an important stage. According to the offshore wind power plans of various provinces approved by the state, the total amount of offshore wind power exceeds 300 million kilowatts, but the offshore space resources are limited, of which more than 90% are conventional deep-sea wind power projects. However, due to technical limitations, the cost of deep-sea wind power is still relatively high, and more than 30% of the cost of deep-sea floating wind power comes from the platform. The tension leg platform is adapted to the application of wind power technology and is expected to become the mainstream structural type. The mooring device is an important part of the platform. The mooring device of the tension leg platform mainly includes two parts: connectors and tendons.

[0003] Traditional floating oil and gas production tension leg platforms are large in size, and the mooring device bears a large load. The tendons in the mooring device are in the form of steel pipes. The top connector uses a toothed engagement method to clamp the tendons, and the metal and rubber composite materials provide flexible unit support, which can not only bear tension but also achieve horizontal swing. The bottom connector is a rotary lock mechanism, and the middle connection of the steel pipe uses a special pipe connector. Deep-sea floating wind power tension leg platforms are different from traditional oil production platforms in terms of water depth, carrying capacity, safety performance, and usage scenarios. In addition, wind power has batch characteristics. The mooring device of traditional platforms is complex in structure and expensive. It is difficult for users to accept the application of traditional tension leg platform mooring devices to floating wind power, and it is not conducive to the low-cost promotion of floating wind power. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop simple and low-cost deep-sea floating wind power tension leg platform mooring devices. Summary of the invention

[0021] The lower hinge shaft is connected to the upper part of the H-shaped connecting piece located below, the lower part of the H-shaped connecting piece is connected to the support, and the support is welded to the seabed anchor.

[0022] Furthermore, the steel cable is a whole pre-tensioned steel cable, or is formed by connecting multiple steel cables; the upper and lower ends of the tension steel cable are cast with joints, and the upper and lower joints are respectively connected to the top connector and the bottom connector through ear shafts.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. The deep-sea floating wind power tension leg platform mooring device provided by the present invention relies on the push rod and its own weight to clamp the top connector during installation, and the type is simple.

[0025] 2. The deep-sea floating wind power tension leg platform mooring device provided by the present invention uses tension steel cables to connect tendons, which is simpler and lighter than the traditional platform that uses steel pipes with complex underwater joints in the length direction.
