DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the deep sea land platform in the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the deep sea land platform described in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0038] Functional device 1, the functional device 1 is used to provide a place for production operations and life needs in the deep ocean.

[0039] The buoyancy and sinking regulating device 2 is connected to the functional device 1 and is used to regulate the buoyancy and sinking of the functional device 1 and itself on the sea surface.

[0040] An energy supply device 3, wherein the energy supply device 3 is used to supply electric energy to the functional device 1 and the floating and sinking regulating device 2;

[0041] The tension leg mooring device 4 can automatically adjust the tension, and is used to fix the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2 and the energy supply device 3 at a predetermined sea area position, and the energy supply device 3 is at a preset distance from the buoyancy adjustment device 2 and the functional device 1.

[0042] Among them, the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and the energy supply device 3 all have a cavity structure K isolated from seawater, and can float on the sea surface.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of floating devices P with different functions and having a cavity structure K are fixed on the ocean through a tension leg mooring device 4, so as to realize the stable anchoring of the floating device P on the ocean, build a stable and reliable deep-sea land platform, which can withstand extreme marine environments and provide possibilities for future human survival and development on the ocean. Among them, the plurality of floating devices P with different functions are the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and the energy supply device 3, and the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and the energy supply device 3 can be made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength materials. That is to say, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength material is used to construct a floating device P with a cavity structure K, and the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and the energy supply device 3 are all devices with corresponding functions made based on the floating device P, see Figure 2 As shown, it can ensure long-term stability, reduce overall weight, and improve floating capacity. Then, these independent floating devices are pre-assembled and connected by professionals in a land environment, and then towed to a predetermined sea area by a professional tugboat, and a tension leg mooring device 4 that can automatically adjust the tension is deployed to achieve a stable anchoring of the floating device P. Multiple interconnected functional devices 1 and multiple buoyancy adjustment devices 2 are fixed to a preset sea area through the tension leg mooring device 4. For details, see Figure 3 As shown, a stable and reliable deep-sea land platform is built.

[0044] For details, see above Figure 3As shown, the cavity structure K of the functional device 1 is provided with a desalination mechanism 5, a soilless cultivation mechanism 6 and a garbage recycling mechanism 7; wherein, the desalination mechanism 5 is used to convert seawater into fresh water, which can provide relevant living water, and the soilless cultivation mechanism 6 is used to plant plants by soilless cultivation, which can provide a food source, and the garbage recycling mechanism 7 is used to recycle garbage to achieve full resource recycling. It can be understood that the internal space of the functional device 1 is designed to accommodate personnel activities and deploy necessary devices, providing a suitable place for production operations and living needs in the marine environment, that is, the functional device 1 is equipped with a desalination mechanism 5 to convert seawater into fresh water, which can meet the daily water needs of personnel and solve the water resource problem. The functional device 1 is also equipped with a soilless cultivation mechanism 6, which can be used to select land and marine plants that are adapted to the marine environment for soilless cultivation, which not only solves the problem of food sources, but also creates a green ecological environment for the marine land platform and improves the living environment. At the same time, a comprehensive garbage recycling and processing mechanism 7 can also be set up inside the functional device 1 to achieve full resource recycling of domestic garbage, construction waste and marine garbage, thereby promoting the sustainable development of marine and land areas.

[0045] For details, see Figure 4 As shown, the cavity structure K of the buoyancy adjustment device 2 is built with an air compressor 8 and a water tank 9; wherein the air compressor 8 injects compressed air into the water tank 9 to discharge seawater to achieve buoyancy, and releases the compressed air in the water tank 9 to inject seawater into the water tank 9 to achieve sinking. It can be understood that the buoyancy adjustment device 2 is built with an air compressor 8 and a water tank 9, and buoyancy is achieved by injecting compressed air into the water tank 9 to discharge seawater, and conversely, sinking is achieved by releasing compressed air and allowing seawater to enter, so that the marine land platform has the ability to adjust the buoyancy according to changes in sea conditions and actual needs, so as to reduce the impact of extreme weather and effectively protect the integrity of the land structure and the safety of personnel and equipment. For example, when encountering extreme conditions such as bad weather, the air compressor 8 releases the compressed gas in the water tank 9, and seawater enters the water tank 9, so that the land platform as a whole sinks below the sea level to reduce the impact of extreme weather and protect the safety of personnel and equipment. After the weather improves, the air compressor 8 re-injects the compressed gas into the water tank 9, discharges the seawater, and the land platform floats to a normal state and resumes normal production and life activities. It should be pointed out that the buoyancy adjustment device 2 is consistent with the functional device 1 in configuration and material, thereby ensuring the unity and stability of the entire land platform structure.

[0046] For details, see Figure 5As shown, the energy supply device 3 includes a photovoltaic panel 10 and a tidal power generation device 11, and a battery pack 12 for storing electric energy is configured in the cavity structure K of the energy supply device 3. The energy supply device 3 is specifically used to transmit the electric energy stored in the battery pack 12 to the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 through a submarine cable. It can be understood that the photovoltaic panel 10 converts solar energy into electric energy, and the tidal power generation device 11 mainly converts tidal energy into electric energy. The electric energy generated is stored in the battery pack 12 in the energy supply device 3, and the energy supply device 3 is at a preset distance from the buoyancy adjustment device 2 and the functional device 1. That is to say, referring to the above Figure 1 As shown, with the buoyancy regulating device 2 and the functional device 1 as the center, the energy supply device 3 is installed around the buoyancy regulating device 2 and the functional device 1 at a preset distance, and multiple energy supply devices 3 can also be installed at a preset spacing distance.

[0047] It should be pointed out that the energy supply device 3 can also include an offshore floating wind turbine, which generates electrical energy and stores it in a battery pack 12 in the energy supply device 3 to provide electrical energy for the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and the offshore floating wind turbine is also fixedly installed at a predetermined sea area location. For example, the offshore floating wind turbine can be installed between two energy supply devices 3, and is also installed with the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 as the center, at a preset distance from the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2.

[0048] It can be understood that the energy supply device 3 is an independent system, independent of the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2, that is, it is independently set at a sea area at a preset distance from the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2, and integrates the photovoltaic panel 10, the tidal power generation device 11 and the offshore floating wind turbine, so as to make full use of the rich natural resources of the ocean, thereby building a complete energy acquisition and utilization system, that is, through the comprehensive utilization of multiple energy sources, the energy self-sufficiency rate is significantly improved, and the dependence on traditional energy is reduced. Moreover, the battery pack 12 for storing electric energy configured inside the energy supply device 3 can ensure a stable supply of electric energy under various conditions, that is, the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 10, the tidal power generation device 11 and the offshore floating wind turbine is stored in the battery pack 12, and transmitted to the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 in the land platform through the submarine cable, so as to provide a stable and reliable energy supply for the entire marine land platform, ensuring that the living and production needs of personnel can be met under various circumstances.

[0049] It should be noted that see above Figure 3As shown, the functional device 1, the buoyancy adjustment device 2 and the energy supply device 3 are fixed by the tension leg mooring device 4, and the connection between the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 can be connected by a Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13, thereby forming a stable land platform system. Among them, the Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13 refers to a fastening structure similar to a close-fitting coupler produced by a German company. This close-fitting coupler has an excellent energy absorption protection device and effective protection capability for the train in the event of a collision. The close-fitting coupler can meet the requirements of effectively protecting the vehicle body when the train collides at a speed exceeding the allowable coupling speed. See Figure 6 As shown, after the Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13 realizes the tight fit of the front end of the fastening device through the hook connection mechanism, the pin at the front end of the connecting rod is locked in the notch of the corresponding structure, forming a tight and stable connection with extremely small gap. In addition, the Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13 supports automatic and manual operation, and has a certain degree of freedom in three-axis directions. Compared with a completely rigid connection, connecting the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 through the Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13 can significantly reduce the connection fatigue caused by waves and wind loads, better absorb and buffer external forces, reduce stress concentration, and significantly enhance the connection reliability between the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2, ensuring the high stability and safety of the deep-sea land platform in a complex marine environment, and facilitating subsequent expansion and transformation as needed.

[0050] It should also be pointed out that the pre-tension characteristics of the tension leg in the tension leg mooring device 4 can effectively resist the external forces such as wind, waves, and currents in the marine environment, ensure the relative stability of the position of the offshore facilities, and greatly improve the overall stability of the deep-sea land platform. At the same time, the tension leg mooring device 4 can also cooperate with the buoyancy and sinking actions of the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 to dynamically adjust the length of the tension leg to adapt to changes in the land depth and continuously maintain an effective tension state.

[0051] In a specific implementation mode, see Figure 7As shown, the deep-sea land platform also includes overlapping wing plates 14, which are arranged on the edge where the functional device 1 is connected to the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2, and are used to support the movement of personnel and equipment between the functional device 1 and the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2. Specifically, a plurality of overlapping wing plates 14 are arranged on the edge where the functional device 1 is connected to the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 at preset intervals, and are respectively connected to the functional device 1 and the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 through hinges 15. It can be understood that after the functional device 1 is connected to the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 through the Scharfenberg-like fastening structure 13, in order to facilitate the movement of personnel and equipment between the functional device 1 and the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2, multiple overlapping wing panels 14 can be placed at preset intervals on the edge where the functional device 1 is connected to the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2, and connected to the functional device 1 and the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 through hinges 15. For example, one side of the overlapping wing panel 14 is connected to the edge of the functional device 1 through the hinge 15, and the other side of the overlapping wing panel 14 is connected to the edge of the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 through the hinge 15. The edge of the functional device 1 and the edge of the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device 2 are connected edges, thereby ensuring the integrity of the deep-sea land platform, and these overlapping wing panels 14 are also easy to disassemble and install, and can meet the needs of actual use. Among them, the overlapping wing panels 14 can be made of ultra-light and high-strength materials.

[0052] In another specific embodiment, the deep-sea land platform further includes a board house, which is installed on top of the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 to provide a space for people to carry out activities on the sea surface. It can be understood that the board house installed on top of the functional device 1 and the buoyancy adjustment device 2 is used to provide a space for people to carry out activities on the sea surface. Among them, the structure of the board house is a simple board house structure that is easy to disassemble and install, that is, the lightness and simplicity of the board house are conducive to the rapid construction and flexible maintenance of the marine land platform.

[0053] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, a deep-sea land platform is constituted by a functional device, a buoyancy and sinking adjustment device connected to the functional device, an energy supply device for supplying electrical energy to the functional device and the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device, and a tension leg mooring device. Among them, by fixing the functional device, the buoyancy and sinking adjustment device and the energy supply device at a predetermined sea area position through the tension leg mooring device, the floating unit can be firmly anchored, thereby being able to withstand extreme marine environments and providing possibilities for future human survival and development on the ocean.
