Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore photovoltaics, and in particular to a connection structure suitable for a large offshore photovoltaic platform truss and steel piles. Background Art

[0002] my country has a long coastline and vast offshore waters, which provide sufficient conditions for offshore photovoltaic installation. Considering the existing conditions, offshore photovoltaic not only meets the needs of energy conservation and emission reduction, energy institutional transformation, but also fits the concept of rational development and utilization of marine resources. In addition, the resource reserves and technological development make offshore photovoltaic have the potential for large-scale development, and the commercial prospects are broad.

[0003] There are two main types of offshore photovoltaic foundations: fixed pile foundation and floating type. The connection between the traditional fixed pile foundation and the upper photovoltaic is a clamp type. This fixed type is conducive to construction on land, but for offshore construction conditions and environment, this clamp type is often not conducive to the advancement of the project due to its low reliability. Floating photovoltaics have not yet been fully studied and have not obtained sufficient successful and reliable experience. With the development of the offshore photovoltaic industry, the construction area has gradually transitioned from the tidal flats to the far shore area with a water depth of 5 to 10m or even more than 10m. The applicability of the traditional fixed PHC pipe pile combined with steel support solution is limited, and the steel pile combined with the offshore photovoltaic platform truss solution is more applicable. However, due to the large size and weight of the offshore photovoltaic platform truss structure, it is difficult to connect with the steel pile, the construction efficiency is poor, and the cost is high.
