AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing offshore wind power technologies, the floating foundation and suction cylinder cannot make close contact due to the corrosion of metal materials in seawater, resulting in unevenness.

Method used

A rubber structural layer is combined with the wall panel. Water is injected to make the floating body foundation and the top of the wall panel in close contact. A water pump is used to generate negative pressure to ensure that the rubber structural layer is tightly packed under negative pressure to compensate for unevenness and achieve close contact.

Benefits of technology

This solved the problem of tight contact caused by corrosion, improved the stability and tightness of the floating foundation and the suction cylinder, and enhanced the stability of offshore wind power equipment.

[0014] The wall plate has a ring-shaped rib plate inside, and a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the ring-shaped rib plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the rubber structure layer on the top of the wall plate and the bottom of the floating foundation are in close contact through elastic deformation, and the elastic deformation of the rubber structure layer supplements the concave-convex joint of the top of the wall plate and the bottom of the floating foundation corroded by seawater, thereby solving the problem that the top edge of the suction cylinder and the bottom of the floating foundation cannot be in close contact due to corrosion in seawater.
