[0039] It should be understood that terms such as "having", "comprising" and "including" used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or other elements or their combinations.

[0040] As Figures 1-3 shown, an intelligent offshore hanging basket 1 with heave compensation according to the present invention includes:

[0041] A base 100, with an accommodation cavity inside. A column 110 is provided at the center of the upper end surface of the base 100. An axial pipe cavity is provided inside the column 110, and the pipe cavity is communicated with the accommodation cavity;

[0042] A hoisting mechanism 200, eccentrically arranged in the accommodation cavity for winding and unwinding a steel wire rope; as a preference, the hoisting mechanism 200 includes: a fixed shaft 210, vertically and eccentrically arranged in the accommodation cavity; a volute spring 220, sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed shaft 210, with the inner end of the volute spring 220 connected to the fixed shaft 210; a drum 230, sleeved on the outer periphery of the volute spring 220, with the inner wall of the drum 230 connected to the outer end of the volute spring 220; the outer periphery of the drum 230 is used for winding the steel wire rope; a large gear 240, sleeved on the outer periphery of the lower edge of the drum 240.

[0043] A braking mechanism 300, which is arranged on one side of the hoisting mechanism 200 and is used to lock and release the hoisting mechanism 200; As a preference, the braking mechanism 300 includes: a rotating shaft 310, which is rotatably arranged on one side of the fixed shaft 210; A pinion 320 is arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft 310 and meshes with the large gear 240; An electromagnetic brake 330, which is sleeved on the lower part of the rotating shaft 310 and is electrically connected to the controller 400, is used to brake or release the rotating shaft 310 under the control of the controller 400, so as to lock or release the hoisting mechanism 200.

[0044] A steel wire rope, which is wound on the hoisting mechanism 200, and the tail of the steel wire rope passes through the lumen and extends out of the top of the column 110 and is connected to the hook;

[0045] A lidar, which is arranged on the edge of the offshore platform and is used to detect the heave state of the sea surface,

[0046] A controller 400, which is arranged in the accommodation cavity and is located on one side of the braking mechanism 300; The controller 400 is electrically connected to the braking mechanism 300 and the lidar, and is used to send an instruction to the braking mechanism 300 according to the heave state of the sea surface detected by the lidar, so that it locks or releases the hoisting mechanism 200.

[0047] During the process of hoisting the sea intelligent hanging basket 1 with heave compensation by the deck to the offshore platform, first, it is connected to the hook of the crane through a steel wire rope. At this time, the electromagnetic brake 330 releases the rotating shaft 310, and the pinion 320 can freely rotate with the large gear 240. As the waves rise and fall, the scroll spring 220 winds up the steel wire rope when the waves rise, and the scroll spring 220 releases the steel wire rope when the waves fall, thus realizing the function of lifting and lowering compensation. The lidar detects the sea surface heave state in real time, and the controller 400 determines the sea surface heave state. When the controller 400 determines that the sea surface is calm and suitable for hoisting, it sends a signal to the electromagnetic brake 330, and the electromagnetic brake 330 brakes the rotating shaft 310, thereby locking the hoisting mechanism 200, and the crane hoists the sea intelligent hanging basket 1 with heave compensation and places it on the offshore platform. During the process of the crane placing the sea intelligent hanging basket 1 with heave compensation on the deck, the braking mechanism 300 first brakes the hoisting mechanism 200 to make the sea intelligent hanging basket 1 with heave compensation reach directly above the deck. The lidar detects the sea surface heave state in real time, and the controller 400 determines the sea surface heave state. When the controller 400 determines that the sea surface is calm, the controller 400 sends a signal to the electromagnetic brake 330, and the electromagnetic brake 330 releases the rotating shaft 310 to release the hoisting mechanism 200, and the sea intelligent hanging basket 1 with heave compensation falls on the deck. The scroll spring 220 winds up the steel wire rope when the waves rise, and the scroll spring 220 releases the steel wire rope when the waves fall, thus realizing the function of lifting and lowering compensation.

[0050] In another embodiment, it further includes: a battery box 500, which is arranged on the other side of the hoisting mechanism 200 in the accommodation cavity and is electrically connected to the electromagnetic brake 330 and the controller 400 for supplying power to the electromagnetic brake 330 and the controller 400.

[0051] In another embodiment, it further includes: a collision prevention block 600, which is arranged on the lower end surface of the base 100 for reducing the impact force.

[0052] In another embodiment, the collision prevention block 600 is made of foam, and a 3 - 5 mm thick polyurea is sprayed on the outer surface of the collision prevention block.

[0053] In another embodiment, a handrail 120 is provided in the upper - middle part of the column 110.

[0054] In another embodiment, it further includes: a guide pulley 250, which is arranged in the accommodation cavity and is located on one side of the lower end of the column 110; a tensioning pulley 260, which is arranged in the accommodation cavity and is located between the guide pulley 250 and the hoisting mechanism 200 for tensioning the steel wire rope.
