DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the description.

[0035] A first embodiment of the present invention relates to Figures 1 to 7 A floating offshore wind power multi-angle wind turbine foundation is shown, comprising:

[0039] A top reinforcement mechanism 4 is arranged at the top of the floating base 1, and the top of the top reinforcement mechanism 4 is connected to the bottom of the support column 3, so as to consolidate and support the support column 3;

[0040] A bottom support frame 5 is provided at the bottom of the floating base 1 and is used to support the bottom of the floating base 1;

[0041] An anchor chain 6 is provided at the bottom of the bottom support frame 5 and is used to anchor on the seabed to pull the bottom support frame 5, the column seat 2 and the floating base 1;

[0042] Auxiliary frames 8 are arranged on both sides of the column base 2 to assist in supporting the column base 2;

[0043] A propulsion adjustment mechanism 9 is arranged on the side of the bottom of the floating base 1 and is used to adjust the power of the floating base 1;

[0044] The floating mechanism 13 is arranged at three side positions of the floating base 1 to assist the floating base 1 in floating work.

[0045] Thus, the entire foundation is anchored by the anchor chain 6, and the bottom of the anchor chain 6 is anchored to the seabed. During use, the anchor chain 6 pulls the bottom support frame 5, and then indirectly pulls the floating base 1. The bottom support frame 5 is supported below the water surface, and the floating base 1 floats above the water surface. The support column 3 is the support rod body of the offshore wind turbine, and the wind turbine is installed on it.

[0046] The second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that a further improvement is provided, wherein the floating base 1 is arranged in a triangular shape, and the top reinforcement mechanism 4 comprises a fixed column 10, a main bracket 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed column 10, and a sub-bracket 12 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 10, and a fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting column 3, and one end of the main bracket 11 and one end of the sub-bracket 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 7.

[0047] Furthermore, the fixing column 10 is fixedly installed at the corner of the top of the floating base 1 , and the bottom of the fixing column 10 is fixedly connected with a fixing disc 25 , and the bottom of the fixing disc 25 is connected to the surface of the floating base 1 .

[0048] The top reinforcement mechanism 4 provides a plurality of main supports 11 and auxiliary supports 12 to provide multi-angle support for the support column 3, thereby improving the stability of the support column 3 and providing a consolidated support for the side.

[0049] Furthermore, the bottom support frame 5 includes a tripod 14 and a bottom support steel column 15 . The corners of the tripod 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom support steel column 15 . The top and bottom of the bottom support steel column 15 are connected to connecting pieces 16 .

[0050] The tripod 14 and the bottom support steel column 15 match the size setting of the floating base 1 to support the bottom of the floating base 1, and the bottom is connected to the anchor chain 6 to facilitate anchoring and limiting the entire foundation.

[0053] The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that a further improvement is provided, wherein the propulsion adjustment mechanism 9 comprises a cylindrical shell 17, an inner frame 18 fixed to one side of the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 17, and a waterproof motor 19 installed in the middle of the inner frame 18, wherein the output end of the waterproof motor 19 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 20, and a propulsion impeller 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 20.

[0054] The propulsion adjustment mechanism 9 is below the water surface. Starting the waterproof motor 19 can drive the rotating shaft 20 and the propulsion impeller 21 to rotate. The rotation of the propulsion impeller 21 can form a reverse propulsion force in the water, thereby assisting the floating base 1 to move to one side, making it easier to perform fine-tuning on the floating base 1.

[0055] Furthermore, the waterproof motor 19 is electrically connected to an external controller, and one side of the cylindrical housing 17 is connected to the bottom surface of the floating base 1 .

[0056] Furthermore, the floating mechanism 13 includes a floating board 26, a fixed frame 27, an air bag 28 and a foam board 29.

[0057] The floating board 26 and the foam board 29 can make the side of the floating base 1 have greater buoyancy, and the air bag 28 can further enhance the buoyancy of the floating mechanism 13 after being inflated, so that the side of the floating base 1 is not easily lifted up, thereby improving the stability of floating on the water surface.

[0058] Furthermore, the floating base 1 includes a substrate layer 31 , a waterproof layer 32 and an anti-corrosion layer 33 .

[0059] Furthermore, the base material layer 31 is made of a hollow steel box, the waterproof layer 32 is made of polyurethane, and the anti-corrosion layer 33 is made of a nickel alloy.

[0060] The waterproof layer 32 can reduce the corrosion of the base material layer 31 by water, and the anti-corrosion layer 33 improves the corrosion resistance of the surface of the floating base 1.

In addition, if the entire foundation is severely deviated on the water surface due to the action of wind during use, the propulsion adjustment mechanism 9 at the bottom of the floating base 1 can be used for counter-assistance propulsion to move the entire foundation to its original position, thereby avoiding the anchor chain 6 from being pulled by a large tension for a long time and extending its service life. In addition, the floating mechanism 13 arranged on the side of the floating base 1 can assist in floating the floating base 1, so that the floating base 1 is more stable on the water surface and not easy to be tilted and overturned due to force.

[0064] 2. If the entire foundation is severely deflected on the water surface due to wind force during use, the propulsion adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the floating base can be used for reverse propulsion to move the entire foundation to its original position, thus preventing the anchor chain under the water surface from being pulled by large tension for a long time, thereby extending its service life;

[0065] 3.
