Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar floating support technology, specifically a floating support for marine photovoltaic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of the offshore solar energy industry, offshore photovoltaic (PV) equipment currently employs a retractable protective design for its support structure. When waves and winds strike, the PV panels must be retracted into the shell. While this prevents damage to the equipment, it leads to power generation interruptions and severely impacts energy conversion efficiency. In particular, the unpredictable offshore climate means that frequent start-stop protection mechanisms can significantly reduce system availability. Furthermore, existing support structures lack active heat dissipation and dynamic balancing capabilities. Long-term high-temperature operation of the PV panels will accelerate their aging, and fixed floating structures are ill-suited to withstand wave impacts under different sea conditions.
[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent (application number: CN202411572610.9) discloses "A Floating Photovoltaic Support for the Sea," whose specification states: Photovoltaics, or photovoltaic power generation systems, are power generation systems that utilize the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials to convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. The energy of photovoltaic power generation systems comes from inexhaustible solar energy, which is a clean, safe, and renewable energy source. The photovoltaic power generation process does not pollute the environment or damage the ecosystem. Photovoltaic power generation systems are divided into stand-alone photovoltaic systems and grid-connected photovoltaic systems. A photovoltaic power generation system consists of equipment such as solar cell arrays, battery banks, charge / discharge controllers, inverters, AC distribution cabinets, and solar tracking control systems. Patent CN117220577B discloses a floating photovoltaic support structure for marine applications, comprising two anchoring mechanisms and multiple floating mechanisms symmetrically arranged between them. Each floating mechanism has a heat dissipation mechanism fixedly mounted on it. Each floating mechanism includes a buoyancy box, with two hinged columns symmetrically and rotatably connected between adjacent buoyancy boxes. A first splicing box is slidably sleeved at one end of one buoyancy box, and a second splicing box is slidably sleeved at the other end of the buoyancy box. A storage shell is fixedly connected to the top of each buoyancy box. Two arc-shaped plates on the second splicing box can slide in contact with arc-shaped grooves on the first splicing box, thus enabling... The two curved plates close together, causing the two interlocking sleeves and connecting rods to engage, thus merging the two rows of pontoons together. As the two rows of pontoons continue to approach, they slide into the interior of the splicing box one and splicing box two, respectively. This allows one end of the connecting rope to be driven by the C-shaped column, and the other end to drive the lifting column to slide downwards in the limiting sleeve. Then, the connecting seat drives the rotating rods at both ends to rotate. When the rotating rods abut against the top of the housing shell, they rotate, causing the two photovoltaic panels to rotate relative to each other until they are closed and stored in the housing shell, preventing damage to the photovoltaic panels from wave impact. In the above scheme, the relative rotation of the two photovoltaic panels needs to be restarted, requiring timely judgment of the presence and size of wind and waves. When the wind is strong at sea, waves will be generated, and strong winds at sea are frequent. If the two photovoltaic panels are closed and stored in the housing shell, it will cut off the photovoltaic panels' reception and conversion of sunlight, reducing their working efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a floating support for offshore photovoltaic equipment. Summary of the Invention

One end of the first bidirectional turbine pump extends to two sets of water pipes. The other end of one set of water pipes is vertically connected to a main pipe, and branch pipes are uniformly connected to the bottom of the main pipe.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] This invention provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 - Figure 9 The floating support for marine photovoltaic equipment shown includes a limiting support 1, a photovoltaic mechanism evenly distributed at both ends of the limiting support 1, and a limiting rope 2 connecting the photovoltaic mechanism and the limiting support 1. The photovoltaic mechanism includes a floating component 4, and the top of the floating component 4 has a ring array of several solar panels 5. The bottom of the solar panels 5 is provided with a heat dissipation component 8 that dissipates heat through heat conduction. The outer side of the floating component 4 has a protective component 3. Adjacent groups of protective components 3 are connected by a connecting component 7. The bottom of the heat dissipation component 8 is provided with an adjustment component 6 that adjusts the position of the protective component 3 by pumping water.
[0039] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heat dissipation component 8 includes a sleeve shaft 803. A heat-conducting plate 802 is arrayed on the outer side of the sleeve shaft 803, and the other end of the heat-conducting plate 802 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solar panel 5. A mounting bracket 801 for connecting with the floating component 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the solar panel 5. An inwardly extending connecting groove 804 is opened on the bottom of the sleeve shaft 803. A connecting shaft 806 is sleeved on the sleeve shaft 803 through the connecting groove 804. A cooling fan 805 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting shaft 806. The solar panel 5 is fixed by the mounting bracket 801, and the heat of the solar panel 5 is conducted to the sleeve shaft 803 through the heat-conducting plate 802, and then transferred to the cooling fan 805 through the connecting shaft 806. At this time, with the continuous blowing of the sea breeze, the cooling fan 805 is driven to rotate by the sea breeze, thereby achieving heat dissipation.
[0040] A rotating shaft 809 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the cooling fan 805, and centrifugal plates 810 are hinged to the outer side of the rotating shaft 809. Return springs 811 for connecting to the outer side of the rotating shaft 809 are symmetrically mounted on the inner side of the centrifugal plates 810. A central sleeve shaft 807 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 809, with both ends of the central sleeve shaft 807 sealed to the rotating shaft 809. The centrifugal plates 810 are located within the inner cavity of the central sleeve shaft 807. Baffles 808 are arranged in an array inside the central sleeve shaft 807, and the outer side of the central sleeve shaft 807 is fixedly connected to the floating assembly 4. When 805 rotates, it will drive the rotating shaft 809 and the centrifugal plate 810 to rotate synchronously. When rotating at low speed, the centrifugal force generated by the rotating shaft 809 is less than the elastic force of the return spring 811. When the sea waves increase sharply, the cooling fan 805 rotates at high speed and drives the rotating shaft 809 to generate a centrifugal force greater than the elastic force of the return spring 811. At this time, the centrifugal plate 810 extends outward under the action of centrifugal force and contacts the baffle 808. At this time, the rotating shaft 809, together with the centrifugal plate 810 and the baffle 808, will drive the central sleeve shaft 807 to rotate, thereby driving the floating component 4 to rotate.
[0041] A heat-conducting shaft 812 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 809, and heat sinks 813 are arrayed on the outer side of the heat-conducting shaft 812. The heat-conducting shaft 812 is located at the bottom of the floating assembly 4. When the rotating shaft 809 rotates, it will also drive the heat-conducting shaft 812 and the heat sinks 813 to rotate. The heat-conducting shaft 812 and the heat sinks 813 are both immersed in seawater. When the rotating shaft 809 rotates, it will also conduct the heat from the cooling fan 805 to the interior of the heat-conducting shaft 812 and the heat sinks 813, thereby achieving heat exchange and cooling through the heat-conducting shaft 812 and the heat sinks 813 immersed in seawater.
[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the floating assembly 4 includes an annular floating bracket 401 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the central sleeve shaft 807. The top of the annular floating bracket 401 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 801. A second bidirectional turbine pump 404 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the annular floating bracket 401. One end of the second bidirectional turbine pump 404 extends to two sets of infusion pipes 405. The other end of one set of infusion pipes 405 is connected to the adjusting assembly 6, and the other set of infusion pipes 405 extends into the seawater. The annular floating bracket 401 is fixedly connected to the central sleeve shaft 807, so when the central sleeve shaft 807 rotates, it will drive the annular floating bracket 401 to rotate (see reference). Figure 7 ).
[0043] The outer array of the annular floating support 401 is equipped with pull ropes 403 for connecting with the protective component 3. The outer array of the annular floating support 401 is equipped with guide vanes 402, and the guide vanes 402 and the pull ropes 403 are staggered. When the annular floating support 401 rotates under the drive of the central sleeve shaft 807, it will pull the protective component 3 toward the annular floating support 401 through the pull ropes 403 and wrap the pull ropes 403. The guide vanes 402 are used for guiding the flow.
[0044] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the protective component 3 includes triangular arc plates 301 arranged in an array on the outside of the annular floating support 401, with the inclined surface of the triangular arc plates 301 contacting the bottom of the annular floating support 401. The inclined surface of the triangular arc plates 301 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rope 403. Partitions 306 are evenly installed inside the triangular arc plates 301. A first bidirectional turbine pump 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the inclined surface of the triangular arc plates 301. Two sets of water pipes extend from one end of the first bidirectional turbine pump 302. The other end of one set of water pipes is vertically connected to a main pipe 303, and branch pipes 304 are evenly connected to the bottom of the main pipe 303. Electric valves 305 are provided on the outer side of each branch pipe 304. The branch pipes 304 penetrate the triangular arc plates 301 and extend to their inner side, with the branch pipes 304 and the partitions 306 connected together. The distribution is such that the rope 403, pulled by the annular floating support 401, will cause the triangular arc plate 301 to shift, thereby lifting the annular floating support 401 through the three sets of triangular arc plates 301. This ensures that the annular floating support 401 and the solar panel 5 on top of it remain on the sea surface during storms, preventing the solar panel 5 from being affected by seawater. Furthermore, by contracting the triangular arc plates 301, the protection of the annular floating support 401 can be increased and the vibration of the annular floating support 401 can be reduced. The first bidirectional turbine pump 302, in conjunction with the main pipe 303 and the branch pipe 304, fills different areas of the inner cavity of the triangular arc plate 301 with seawater, changing its weight. In turn, the tilted triangular arc plates 301 use the waves on the sea surface to reduce their interference with the floating component 4.
[0045] The connecting assembly 7 includes a connecting ball 701 disposed between two sets of adjacent protective assemblies 3. A floating disk 702 is fixedly installed on the lower middle part of the outer side of the connecting ball 701. A connecting rod 703 is symmetrically disposed on the outer side of the connecting ball 701, and one end of the connecting rod 703 is spherical. The connecting ball 701 and the spherical end of the connecting rod 703 are spherically connected.
[0046] A sleeve 704 is fitted onto one end of the connecting rod 703 near the protective component 3. The sleeve 704 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective component 3. A curved plate 705 is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 703. When the curved plate 705 floats at sea, it is used to increase the buoyancy of the connecting component 7 in conjunction with the floating plate 702. Hooks 706 are evenly distributed on the outer side of a set of floating plates 702. When the triangular arc plate 301 retracts into the annular floating bracket 401, it will push the connecting ball 701 outward. The hooks 706 on one side of the limiting bracket 1 and the hooks 706 on the other side of the limiting bracket 1 are symmetrically distributed. Then, the hooks 706 set on the outer side of the connecting ball 701 are connected to other photovoltaic mechanisms to achieve splicing and increase the performance of wind and waves.
[0047] The adjustment component 6 includes a movable tube 603 fixedly installed at the bottom of the heat dissipation component 8. A sleeve 602 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower part of the movable tube 603, and a counterweight ball 601 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sleeve 602. A connecting rope 605 for connecting to the bottom of the protective component 3 is arrayed on the outer side of the counterweight ball 601. An infusion groove 604 extending to the bottom of the movable tube 603 is opened on the side wall. The infusion groove 604 is connected to the infusion tube 405. The second bidirectional turbine pump 404 pumps seawater into the counterweight ball 601 and the sleeve 602 through the infusion tube 405, changing the weight of the counterweight ball 601 and the sleeve 602, thereby adjusting the height of the counterweight ball 601 and the sleeve 602 in the seawater. At this time, the distance between the triangular arc plate 301 and the annular floating support 401 can be adjusted with the connecting rope 605 on the outer side of the counterweight ball 601, so as to adapt to different sea surface environments.
[0048] Working principle: Normal operation; When the sea surface is calm, the solar panel 5 absorbs the heat generated by the sun and transfers it to the sleeve shaft 803 through the heat conduction plate 802 fixed at the bottom; the connecting groove 804 at the bottom of the sleeve shaft 803 is linked with the connecting shaft 806 to further conduct the heat to the cooling fan 805.
[0049] Air cooling; when the sea breeze drives the cooling fan 805 to rotate, the airflow forms forced convection along the gap of the heat conduction plate 802, realizing air cooling of the solar panel 5.
[0050] Liquid cooling; when the cooling fan 805 rotates, it will drive the bottom rotating shaft 809 to rotate synchronously, and the heat-conducting shaft 812 at its end and the array of heat sinks 813 are completely immersed in seawater; the rotational motion accelerates the flow of surrounding water, realizing heat exchange and cooling.
[0051] The guide vane 402 on the outside of the annular floating support 401 guides the water flow and reduces eddy current resistance. At the same time, the second bidirectional turbine pump 404 injects / discharges seawater into the counterweight ball 601 of the adjustment component 6 through the infusion pipe 405. When the infusion pipe 405 injects water into the inner cavity of the counterweight ball 601, it sinks and tightens the connecting rope 605. The triangular arc plate 301 moves down close to the sea surface and lowers the center of gravity. When the seawater inside the counterweight ball 601 is discharged, the connecting rope 605 loosens and the triangular arc plate 301 floats up under the action of buoyancy, thereby keeping the floating component 4 always on the sea surface and adapting to different wave undulations.
[0052] Protection under strong winds: The strong wind drives the cooling fan 805 to increase its speed rapidly, causing the rotating shaft 809 to rotate at high speed; under the action of centrifugal force, the centrifugal plate 810 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 811 and unfolds outward, engaging with the baffle 808 inside the central sleeve shaft 807; at this time, the rotational torque is transmitted to the central sleeve shaft 807, thereby driving the entire annular floating support 401 to rotate. When the annular floating support 401 rotates, the outer array of ropes 403 simultaneously winds and tightens, pulling the triangular arc plate 301 towards the center; the inclined surface of the triangular arc plate 301 contacts the bottom of the annular floating support 401, forming a conical protective cover; at the same time, the three sets of triangular arc plates 301 close and lift the platform, raising the height of the solar panel 5 above the sea surface to prevent it from being submerged by waves.
[0053] Next, water is injected into the inner cavity of the triangular arc plate 301 through the first bidirectional turbine pump 302; the main pipe 303 diverts the water to each branch pipe 304, and the electric valve 305 controls the water injection volume in specific areas; the partition 306 divides the inner cavity, and the chambers injected with seawater form an inertial mass block; when waves impact the inclined surface of the triangular arc plate 301, the center of gravity of the water shifts and generates a reverse torque to counteract the impact force; when the wind force is too strong, the rotation of the annular floating support 401 causes the bent plate 705 of the connecting component 7 to expand outward under the action of centrifugal force; the hooks 706 of adjacent photovoltaic units interlock with each other, and the spherical joint of the connecting ball 701 allows for slight oscillation, thereby adapting to the wave phase difference; at this time, the floating disk 702 provides external buoyancy to prevent the connecting component 7 from sinking into the water.
