Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore photovoltaic platforms, and in particular to a connection structure and an offshore photovoltaic platform having the same. Background Art

[0002] With the decarbonization transformation of the global energy structure, photovoltaic power generation, as a green, clean and renewable energy source, has shown strong development momentum in recent years. The ocean has a large water area and is far from residential areas. Building photovoltaic projects in the ocean can improve the comprehensive utilization rate of ocean space. At the same time, the ocean waters are vast, and the photovoltaic array is not affected by the shape of the water area, and large-scale photovoltaic arrays can be arranged more regularly.

[0003] Currently, affected by technology and economic costs, most offshore photovoltaic platforms are mainly floating air cushion structures, and the rigid brackets of photovoltaic modules cannot be well fixed on the soft and easily deformable floating air cushion structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this reason, an object of the present invention is to provide a connection structure and an offshore photovoltaic platform having the same, wherein the connection structure can preferably fix the bracket of the functional component to the flexible floating body.

[0005] The connection structure according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention is used to connect a flexible floating body and a bracket of a functional component, and includes: a rod; a flexible member wound around the rod and used to bind the rod to the flexible floating body; a connecting member used to connect between the rod and the bracket, and the flexible member and the connecting member are arranged along the extending direction of the rod.

[0006] According to the connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the flexible member, the flexible member binds the rod to the flexible floating body, and then, the bracket and the rod are connected through the connecting member, thereby realizing the reliable connection between the flexible floating body and the functional component, and preferably solving the problem that the bracket in the related art cannot be well fixed on the soft and easily deformable floating body structure. In addition, when installing the rod of the present application, the rod can be directly passed through the flexible member or passed through the flexible member and the flexible floating body, which is convenient to install, has good installation reliability, high operability, and low use cost. Even if the flexible member is partially damaged, the rod and the flexible floating body are not easily separated; at the same time, when the rod undergoes displacement along the extending direction of the rod, the rod will drive the connecting member to move. Since the connecting member and the flexible member are arranged along the extending direction of the rod, the flexible member can hinder the movement of the connecting member, thereby restricting the maximum displacement of the rod and reducing the possibility of the rod detaching from the flexible floating body along the extending direction F of the rod.

[0007] In some embodiments, two ends of the flexible member are used to be connected to the flexible floating body, and the rod member is used to pass through between the flexible member and the flexible floating body.

[0008] In some embodiments, at least two of the connecting members are all used to be connected to the same bracket, wherein, a flexible member is arranged between at least two of the connecting members, or, at least two of the connecting members are arranged between two flexible members; or,

[0009] Flexible members are arranged on both sides of at least one of the connecting members.

[0010] In some embodiments, the connecting member includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion connected to each other, the first connecting portion is sleeved on the rod member, and the second connecting portion is connected to the bracket through a fastener.

[0011] In some embodiments, the connecting member includes a first piece and a second piece, and the rod member is clamped between the first piece and the second piece; or, the connecting member is arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the rod member and presses against the outer peripheral wall of the rod member.

[0012] In some embodiments, a concave portion is formed on a part of the rod member, and the connecting member is at least partially located in the concave portion.

[0013] The second aspect of the present invention also provides an offshore photovoltaic platform.

[0014] The offshore photovoltaic platform according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes a floating body assembly and a connection structure according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention. The floating body assembly includes a film layer, a support member and a floating body. The support member is provided with the film layer, the support member is installed on the floating body, the flexible member is connected to the film layer, and the film layer forms the flexible floating body.

[0015] The above-mentioned floating body assembly has the advantages of low self-weight and low construction cost. The flexibility of the film layer can buffer the wave impact and disperse the load through deformation. Therefore, the stability is better under harsh sea conditions. At the same time, it is difficult to directly connect the film layer to the bracket. The offshore photovoltaic platform in the embodiment of the present application connects the film layer and the bracket by setting a connection structure, with high connection reliability, small connection difficulty and strong connection operability.

[0016] In some embodiments, the film layer and the flexible member are sewn and connected, or heat welded, or integrally formed.

[0017] In some embodiments, the offshore photovoltaic platform further includes a functional component. The functional component includes a bracket and a photovoltaic module body arranged on the bracket. The bracket is formed with a connection hole, and a fastener passes through the connection hole and is connected to the connecting member.

[0018] In some embodiments, at least two of the brackets are arranged side by side on both sides of the rod and are both connected to the rod through the same connecting member.

It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, etc. of various components shown in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, etc. of the integrated device, are only for illustrative purposes and should not constitute any limitation to the present invention.

[0039] The term "a plurality of" as used in the present invention refers to two or more (including two).

[0040] The following will be combined with Figures 1 to 7 to describe the connection structure 100 and the offshore photovoltaic platform 1000 of the present invention.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the connection structure 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is used to connect the flexible floating body 200 and the bracket 301 of the functional component 300.

[0042] It should be noted that the flexible floating body 200 can be a membrane layer 400 floating on the water surface or the sea surface, or the flexible floating body 200 here can also be a floating body air cushion. The flexible floating body 200 is provided with a functional component 300. For example, the functional component 300 can be a photovoltaic component to realize photovoltaic power generation; or, the functional component 300 can also be a wave energy converter to convert wave energy into electrical energy; or, the functional component 300 can also be an energy storage device for storing electricity; or, the functional component 300 can also be an ocean detection device for monitoring data such as wind speed, waves, salinity, etc.; or, the functional component 300 can also be a marine communication device for providing signal coverage, etc.

[0043] The connection structure 100 includes a rod member 101, a flexible member 102 and a connecting member 103. The flexible member 102 is wound around the rod member 101 and is used to bind the rod member 101 to the flexible floating body 200; the connecting member 103 is used to connect between the rod member 101 and the bracket 301, and the flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 are arranged along the extending direction F of the rod member 101.

[0044] Specifically, the flexible member 102 is wound around the rod member 101 and is used to bind the rod member 101 to the flexible floating body 200; for example, both ends of the flexible member 102 are used to be connected to the flexible floating body 200, and the rod member 101 is used to pass through between the flexible member 102 and the flexible floating body 200 to bind the rod member 101 to the flexible floating body 200. Exemplarily, for example, the flexible member 102 is formed with a connection ring, and the rod member 101 passes through the connection ring, and a part of the connection ring is connected to the flexible floating body 200. Exemplarily, for example, the flexible member 102 includes a connected connection ring and a connection section, the rod member 101 passes through the connection ring, and the connection section is used to be connected to the flexible floating body 200.

[0045] Exemplarily, the flexible member 102 can be a high-performance synthetic fiber belt, or a polyester fiber belt with a rubber sheath on the surface; or a fiber-reinforced composite material belt to have higher connection strength and better weather resistance.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the flexible member 102, the flexible member 102 connects the rod member 101, and the connecting member 103 connects the rod member 101 and the bracket 301. In this way, a reliable connection between the bracket 301 and the flexible floating body 200 is achieved.

[0047] During assembly, the flexible member 102 is connected to the flexible floating body 200, and then the rod member 101 is passed through the flexible member 102 or between the flexible member 102 and the flexible floating body 200, so as to bind the rod member 101 to the flexible floating body 200. Then, the rod member 101 and the bracket 301 are connected by the connecting member 103, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the bracket 301 and the flexible floating body 200. In this way, the rod member 101 has good fixing reliability and is convenient to fix, and further improves the installation reliability of the functional component 300.

[0048] By providing the connecting member 103 to connect the bracket 301 and the rod member 101, the position of the connecting member 103 relative to the rod member 101 can be changed according to requirements during the installation process. Therefore, there is no need to consider the matching accuracy between the installation position of the rod member 101 for installing the bracket 301 and the preset installation position of the bracket 301, thereby reducing the processing difficulty.

[0049] The flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 are arranged along the extending direction F of the rod member 101. It should be noted that for a rod member 101, only one flexible member 102 and one connecting member 103 may be provided on the rod member 101, or only one flexible member 102 and multiple connecting members 103 may be provided on the rod member 101, or only multiple flexible members 102 and one connecting member 103 may be provided on the rod member 101, or multiple flexible members 102 and multiple connecting members 103 may be provided on the rod member 101. Among them, for a rod member 101, one or more connecting members 103 may be provided between two adjacent flexible members 102 on the rod member 101, and one or more flexible members 102 may also be provided between two adjacent connecting members 103 on the rod member 101.

[0050] The length of the rod member 101 can be flexibly designed according to the shape and size of the flexible floating body 200, the installation and use requirements, the processing and transportation requirements of the rod member 101, etc. The design and use are more flexible and the applicable range is wide.

[0051] The connecting member 103 is connected between the bracket 301 and the rod member 101. Therefore, when the functional component 300 moves, the rod member 101 will be driven to move through the connecting member 103. Since the flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 are arranged along the extending direction F of the rod member 101, and the flexible member 102 is connected to the flexible floating body 200, when the rod member 101 moves along the extending direction F of the rod member 101, the flexible member 102 will limit the connecting member 103, thereby realizing the limitation of the movement of the rod member 101, and further reducing the possibility of the rod member 101 moving significantly along the extending direction F of the rod member 101.

[0052] According to the connection structure 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the flexible member 102, the flexible member 102 binds the rod member 101 to the flexible floating body 200. Then, the support 301 and the rod member 101 are connected through the connecting member 103, thereby realizing the reliable connection between the flexible floating body 200 and the functional component 300, and preferably solving the problem in the related art that the support 301 cannot be well fixed on a soft and deformable floating body structure. In addition, when installing the rod member 101 of the present application, the rod member 101 can be directly passed through the flexible member 102 or passed between the flexible member 102 and the flexible floating body 200. The installation is convenient, and the installation reliability is good, the operability is high, and the use cost is low. Even if the flexible member 102 is partially damaged, the rod member 101 and the flexible floating body 200 are not easily separated. At the same time, when the rod member 101 has a displacement in the extending direction F of the rod member 101, the rod member 101 will drive the connecting member 103 to move. Since the connecting member 103 and the flexible member 102 are arranged along the extending direction of the rod member 101, the flexible member 102 can hinder the movement of the connecting member 103, thereby restricting the maximum displacement of the rod member 101 and reducing the possibility of the rod member 101 detaching from the flexible floating body 200 along the extending direction F of the rod member 101.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figures 1 to 3 , the two ends of the flexible member 102 are used to connect with the flexible floating body 200, and the rod member 101 is used to pass through the flexible member 102 and the flexible floating body 200. In this way, the connection difficulty between the flexible member 102 and the flexible floating body 200 is low, which is convenient for processing.

[0054] In some embodiments, at least two connecting members 103 are both used to connect with the same support 301, and a flexible member 102 is provided between at least two connecting members 103.

[0055] Among them, two connecting members 103 connected to the same bracket 301 may be provided on the same rod 101 or may be provided on two rods 101 respectively. One or more flexible members 102 may be provided between at least two connecting members 103. For an embodiment in which only one flexible member 102 is provided between two connecting members 103, when the rod 101 moves to one side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, one connecting member 103 abuts against one side portion of the flexible member 102, and when the rod 101 moves to the other side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, the other connecting member 103 abuts against the other side portion of the flexible member 102. For an embodiment in which a plurality of flexible members 102 are provided between two connecting members 103, when the rod 101 moves to one side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, one connecting member 103 abuts against one side portion of the flexible member 102 closest to the connecting member 103, and when the rod 101 moves to the other side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, the other connecting member 103 abuts against the other side portion of the flexible member 102 closest to the connecting member 103.

[0056] Thus, in this embodiment, the flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 cooperate to prevent the rod 101 from moving to both sides along the extension direction F of the rod 101, limit the maximum displacement of the rod 101 along both sides of the extension direction F of the rod 101, and reduce the possibility of the rod 101 detaching from the flexible floating body 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, at least two connecting members 103 are both used to be connected to the same bracket 301, and at least two connecting members 103 are provided between two flexible members 102.

[0058] Among them, two connecting members 103 connected to the same bracket 301 may be provided on the same rod 101 or may be provided on two rods 101 respectively. When the rod 101 moves to one side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, one connecting member 103 abuts against one flexible member 102, and when the rod 101 moves to the other side along the extension direction F of the rod 101, the other connecting member 103 abuts against the other flexible member 102.

[0059] Thus, in this embodiment, the flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 cooperate to prevent the rod 101 from moving to both sides along the extension direction F of the rod 101, limit the maximum displacement of the rod 101 along both sides of the extension direction F of the rod 101, and reduce the possibility of the rod 101 detaching from the flexible floating body 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, flexible members 102 are provided on both sides of at least one connecting member 103. For example, one connecting member 103 is provided between two flexible members 102. When the movement of the rod member 101 drives the movement of the connecting member 103, since flexible members 102 are provided on both sides of the connecting member 103, when the connecting member 103 moves to any one side of the two sides along the extension direction F of the rod member 101, the flexible members 102 can limit the position of the connecting member 103.

[0061] Thus, in this embodiment, the cooperation of the flexible member 102 and the connecting member 103 can prevent the rod member 101 from moving to the two sides along the extension direction F of the rod member 101, limit the maximum displacement of the rod member 101 along the two sides of the extension direction F of the rod member 101, and reduce the possibility of the rod member 101 detaching from the flexible floating body 20.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 The connecting member 103 includes a first connecting portion 1031 and a second connecting portion 1032 connected to each other. The first connecting portion 1031 is sleeved on the rod member 101, and the second connecting portion 1032 is connected to the bracket 301 through a fastener 1033.

[0063] For example, the first connecting portion 1031 includes a first arc-shaped member and a second arc-shaped member. The first arc-shaped member and the second arc-shaped member are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction, where the radial direction is perpendicular to the extension direction F of the rod member 101. The first arc-shaped member and the second arc-shaped member are sleeved on the rod member 101. The first arc-shaped member is connected to two second connecting portions 1032, and the second arc-shaped member is connected to two second connecting portions 1032. The first arc-shaped member and the second arc-shaped member are connected to each other through the second connecting portions 1032 to press and fix the first connecting portion 1031 on the rod member 101.

[0064] For example, the first connecting portion 1031 includes a third arc-shaped member that surrounds the rod member 101. The two ends of the third arc-shaped member in the circumferential direction are connected to the second connecting portions 1032, and the second connecting portions 1032 at both ends are connected to each other to press and fix the first connecting portion 1031 on the rod member 101. Specifically, the second connecting portion 1032 can be a flat plate member. Thus, the fixing effect of the connecting member 103 and the rod member 101 is good and the installation is also convenient.

[0065] For example, the first connecting portion 1031 includes a rigid ring-shaped member that is sleeved on the rod member 101. A compression stud is radially inserted through the rigid ring-shaped member and one end thereof abuts against the rod member 101, so as to fix the first connecting portion 1031 to the rod member 101. The second connecting portion 1032 can be detachably connected to the rigid ring-shaped member.

[0066] Among them, the fastener 1033 for connecting the second connecting portion 1032 and the bracket 301 can be the same fastener 1033 as the fastener 1033 for connecting two second connecting portions 1032. In this way, the number of parts is small, and the installation process can be saved.

[0067] The second connecting portion 1032 is connected to the bracket 301 through the fastener 1033. Or rather, the functional component 300 is mounted on the second connecting portion 1032 through the fastener 1033. In this way, when the functional component 300 is damaged, the functional component 300 can be detached from the second connecting portion 1032, thus facilitating replacement. Specifically, the fastener 1033 can include a stud, a nut connected to the stud, and a gasket. At the same time, using the fastener 1033 to connect the second connecting portion 1032 and the bracket 301 can avoid welding, thereby avoiding the problem that the flexible floating body 200 is locally damaged by high temperature melting due to welding.

[0068] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the connecting member 103 includes a first member 1034 and a second member 1035, and the rod member 101 is clamped between the first member 1034 and the second member 1035. In this way, the load received by the connecting member 103 can be more evenly transmitted to the rod member 101, reducing the risk of stress concentration; at the same time, the position of the connecting member 103 on the rod member 101 can also be flexibly adjusted to better adapt to the installation site of the functional component 300. It should be noted that the cross-section of the rod member 101 can be circular or polygonal. The first member 1034 and the second member 1035 are clamped on the rod member 101. In this way, it can be applicable to rod members 101 with different cross-sections, with more flexible use and a wider application range.

[0069] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 2 , the connecting member 103 is disposed around the outer peripheral wall of the rod member 101 and pressed against the outer peripheral wall of the rod member 101. For example, the connecting member 103 can be a clamp. In this way, the connecting member 103 has an adjustable diameter range. Even if the dimensions at different positions of the rod member 101 are different, the connecting member 103 can still be well fixed on the rod member 101, and there is no need for welding or drilling, avoiding damage to the structure of the rod member 101 itself and the problem that the flexible floating body 200 is locally damaged by high temperature melting due to welding.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 6 and Figure 7, a part of the rod 101 is formed with a concave portion 1011, and the connecting member 103 is partially located in the concave portion 1011. Exemplarily, the connecting member 103 includes a first connecting portion 1031 and a second connecting portion 1032, and the first connecting portion 1031 is at least partially located in the concave portion 1011. By providing the concave portion 1011, the relative displacement between the rod 101 and the connecting member 103 along the extending direction of the rod 101 is restricted, and the reliability is better. The possibility that the connecting member 103 slips relative to the rod 101 along the extending direction of the rod 101 is smaller.

[0071] Wherein, the concave portion 1011 can be an annular concave portion 1011, that is, the concave portion 1011 is arranged around the rod 101; or, along the circumferential direction of the rod 101, two concave portions 1011 are symmetrically arranged at intervals. All of these should be within the protection scope of this application.

[0072] The second aspect of the present invention also proposes an offshore photovoltaic platform 1000.

[0073] The offshore photovoltaic platform 1000 according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes a floating body assembly and a connection structure 100 according to any one of the above embodiments. The floating body assembly includes a film layer 400, a support member and a floating body. The support member is installed with the film layer 400, the support member is installed on the floating body, the flexible member 102 is connected to the film layer 400, and the film layer 400 is formed into a flexible floating body 200.

[0074] The above floating body assembly has the advantages of low self-weight and low construction cost. The flexibility of the film layer 400 can buffer the wave impact and disperse the load through deformation. Therefore, the stability under harsh sea conditions is better. At the same time, it is difficult to directly connect the film layer 400 with the bracket 301. The offshore photovoltaic platform 1000 of the embodiment of the present application connects the film layer 400 and the bracket 301 by providing the connection structure 100, with high connection reliability, small connection difficulty and strong connection operability.

[0075] In some embodiments, the film layer 400 and the flexible member 102 are stitched and connected. In this way, the connection strength is high, the connection reliability is good, and it has good weather resistance, and can better adapt to the complex and harsh marine environment, extreme weather and the adverse load effects brought by long-term sea waves.

[0076] In some embodiments, the film layer 400 and the flexible member 102 are heat welded. In this way, the connection strength is high, the connection reliability is good, and it has good weather resistance, and can better adapt to the complex and harsh marine environment, extreme weather and the adverse load effects brought by long-term sea waves.

[0077] In some embodiments, the film layer 400 and the flexible member 102 are integrally formed. For example, the film layer 400 can be integrally woven and formed with the flexible member 102. In this way, the connection strength is high, the connection reliability is good, secondary processing is avoided, it is economical and convenient, and it has good weather resistance, and can better adapt to the complex and harsh marine environment, extremely bad weather and the adverse load effects brought by long-term sea waves.

[0078] In some embodiments, the offshore photovoltaic platform 1000 further includes a functional component 300. The functional component 300 includes a bracket 301 and a photovoltaic module body 302 disposed on the bracket 301. The bracket 301 is formed with a connection hole 303, and a fastener 1033 passes through the connection hole 303 and is connected to the connector 103.

[0079] It should be noted that in the related art, the connection method between the photovoltaic module body and the flexible floating body is mainly adhesive bonding. The photovoltaic module body usually has the characteristics of flexibility and light weight, and the back plate of the photovoltaic module body is bonded to the surface of the flexible floating body through a highly adhesive structural adhesive. However, after being corroded and soaked by seawater for a long time, there is a risk of insufficient adhesive force and insecure fixation; at the same time, the adhesive bonding method greatly limits the selection of the photovoltaic module body. When using a flexible and light photovoltaic module body, when facing a harsh marine environment, its reliability is far less than that of a double-glass type photovoltaic module body; in addition, the flexible and light photovoltaic module body itself cannot resist trampling, which brings inconvenience to manual installation.

[0080] In the present application, by using the connection structure 100 of the embodiments of the present application to connect the bracket 301 of the photovoltaic module and the flexible floating body 200, the photovoltaic module body 302 can adopt the double-glass type, with better use reliability and more secure fixation, and the possibility of the photovoltaic module detaching from the flexible floating body 200 is reduced.

[0081] The connection structure 100 can be connected to the bracket 301 through the connection hole 303 of the bracket 301. In this way, the connection with the connection structure 100 can be realized without modifying the structure of the bracket 301 itself. Therefore, it has strong applicability and low promotion cost.

[0082] Exemplarily, the fastener 1033 includes a stud and a nut. The stud passes through the connection hole 303 and the mounting hole of the connector 103 and is threadedly connected to the nut. By tightening the stud and the nut, the connection and fixation between the bracket 301 and the connector 103 are realized.

[0083] In some embodiments, at least two brackets 301 are arranged side by side on both sides of the rod member 101 and are both connected to the rod member 101 through the same connector 103.

[0084] It should be noted that, along the extension direction F of the rod 101, the connecting member 103 and the flexible member 102 are arranged in sequence, and the connecting member 103 is clamped or sleeved on the rod 101. Therefore, the two functional components 300 can be arranged on both sides of a rod 101 in parallel and connected to the rod 101 through the same connecting member 103.

[0085] Reference may be made to Figure 5 , at least two brackets 301 are arranged on both sides of the rod 101 in parallel and connected to the rod 101 through the same connecting member 103. In this way, the number of rods 101 can be reduced, the installation cost of the functional components 300 can be lowered, and at the same time, the arrangement of the functional components 300 is made more compact, which is conducive to improving the arrangement density of the functional components 300 and the utilization rate of the marine space.
