Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a construction method for an integral negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame. Background Technology

[0002] With the global energy structure shifting towards cleaner energy, floating photovoltaic (PV) technology has become a research hotspot in the new energy field due to its significant advantages. Compared to onshore PV systems, floating PV offers advantages such as abundant resources, unobstructed water surface, high light reflection, low temperature rise loss, proximity to load centers, and less dust. Currently, floating PV support structures include floating and pile-fixed types. Pile-fixed PV support structures consist of a PV upper support and four or six piles driven into the water. The PV upper support is a truss structure including a PV platform and four or six legs connected to the bottom of the platform. Each leg has a support base at its bottom, and PV panels are installed on the top surface of the platform. The height of the first two or three legs is greater than the height of the last two or three legs. Each of the four or six piles has a connecting seat at its top for corresponding connection with the four or six support bases, allowing the PV platform to tilt 15° with the front higher than the back. Commonly used pile types include steel pipe piles and prestressed concrete pipe piles. The type of pile used is selected based on factors such as geological conditions, construction conditions, and project cost. The installation of the photovoltaic upper support requires high positioning accuracy of the pile foundation, but due to limitations in on-site equipment and construction environment, it is difficult to control the pile position deviation within an acceptable range, thus causing installation difficulties.

[0003] Furthermore, existing methods for hoisting photovoltaic (PV) upper supports require pre-drilling four or six hoisting holes on the PV platform, each corresponding to one of the four or six support points (without PV panels installed). Four or six steel wire ropes are then connected to the four or six support points via four or six lifting lugs on the hoisting frame before hoisting. After the four or six support points are connected to the four or six pile foundations, the PV panels at the four or six hoisting holes need to be installed above water, increasing the time spent on the water and also increasing operational risks. Alternatively, omitting the installation of PV panels at the four or six hoisting holes would reduce the number of PV panels required, affecting the installed capacity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a construction method for an integral negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame, which can facilitate the installation of the upper photovoltaic support frame, not only improve the construction quality, but also greatly reduce the amount of water-based operations.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: a construction method for an integral negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame, the integral negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame comprising a photovoltaic upper support and a foundation structure; wherein,

[0006] The photovoltaic upper support is a truss structure and includes a photovoltaic platform, several legs connected to the bottom of the photovoltaic platform, several support seats that are installed one-to-one at the bottom of the legs, and photovoltaic panels installed on the top of the photovoltaic platform.

[0007] The basic structure includes a negative pressure tank, several piles, and several foundation lifting rings;

[0008] The top plate of the negative pressure tank has several pile positioning platforms reserved. The planar arrangement of the pile positioning platforms corresponds one-to-one with the planar arrangement of the several support points of the photovoltaic upper support. Several connecting bolts are pre-embedded evenly on each pile positioning platform.

[0009] The bottom of the pile is provided with a connecting ring plate, and the connecting ring plates of several piles are fixed one by one to several pile positioning platforms of the negative pressure tank by several connecting bolts.

[0010] Several basic lifting rings are evenly distributed and pre-embedded in the top plate of the negative pressure tank;

[0011] The construction method employs a specialized hanger, which includes a hanger frame, four equipment lifting rings, several rope winding devices, and several lifting ropes. The hanger frame has a rectangular shape. The four equipment lifting rings are evenly distributed on the top surface of the hanger frame. The rope winding devices are installed on the hanger frame, and their positions correspond one-to-one with the positions of the foundation lifting rings pre-embedded in the negative pressure tank. The upper ends of the several lifting ropes are connected to the rope winding devices one-to-one, and the lower end of each rope is connected to an elastic shackle.

[0012] The construction method includes the following steps:

[0013] Step S1: Prefabricate the negative pressure tank, and according to the specific dimensions of the photovoltaic upper support to be installed, pre-embed several pile positioning platforms and several foundation lifting rings on the top plate of the negative pressure tank;

Install all the piles on the negative pressure tank in sequence.

[0015] Step S3: First, fabricate the upper photovoltaic support frame and install support bases at the bottom of several legs of the upper photovoltaic support frame. Then, install photovoltaic panels on the upper photovoltaic support frame. Finally, lift the upper photovoltaic support frame and assemble it onto the top of several piles of the foundation structure to form an overall photovoltaic support frame.

[0016] Step S4: First, connect the lifting wire rope of the lifting equipment to the four equipment lifting rings on the special hanger. The lifting equipment will then adjust the special hanger to be directly above the overall photovoltaic support frame. Several ropes will be lowered one by one through several rope winding devices until the elastic shackles at the lower ends of the ropes are connected one by one to the basic lifting rings on the negative pressure tank.

[0017] Step S5: The integrated photovoltaic support frame is hoisted onto the transport ship using lifting equipment. A special gantry is placed next to the integrated photovoltaic support frame and transported together to the project construction site by the transport ship.

[0018] Step S6: First, use a crane boat to lift the overall photovoltaic support frame, and then lower the overall photovoltaic support frame into the water at the designated position;

Then, several rope-reeling devices on the on-site remote control hanger automatically disengage several elastic shackles from several foundation lifting rings. Several lifting ropes are then retrieved and lifted off the special hanger. Then, the negative pressure tank drains water and continues to sink until the entire photovoltaic support frame sits on the bottom of the water.

[0021] In the above-mentioned construction method of the overall negative pressure bucket type floating photovoltaic support frame, in step S2, the pile column and the negative pressure bucket may be prefabricated as a whole.

[0022] In the above-mentioned construction method of the overall negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame, when performing step S3, the upper photovoltaic support frame is preferably manufactured in the same prefabrication yard as the prefabrication of the negative pressure barrel.

[0023] The construction method of the integral negative pressure barrel-type floating photovoltaic support frame of the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0027] 4) After the operation period ends, the basic structure can be lifted away from the project site, and the marine area can be easily restored;

[0028] 5) Both the impact of construction and the recycling of the basic structure are beneficial to environmental protection. Attached Figure Description
