Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine engineering construction, in particular to a hybrid suction bucket pipe frame fan foundation. Background Art

[0002] In order to obtain more resources, offshore wind power has been developed on a large scale. The development of the offshore wind power industry has driven the construction of a series of wind farms in various sea areas. At present, most offshore wind turbines use steel pipe pile foundations. This type of foundation is fast to construct, has a lot of mature professional equipment, has high overall construction efficiency, and is economical and practical. The barrel foundation relies on the end resistance and side wall friction generated by its structure embedded in the soil to a certain depth to withstand the environmental forces of the offshore structure. No piling equipment is required. Only a set of small sinking equipment is needed to form negative pressure and penetrate the suction bucket to the designed depth. It is especially suitable for areas with deep water. However, piling cannot be achieved under conditions of shallow water depth and high bearing capacity of the surface soil. The installation of single piles by rock-embedded openings takes a long time and the construction cost is extremely high. If a barrel foundation is used, the depth of entry into the mud is limited, resulting in insufficient foundation pull-out resistance in the in-situ state. If a gravity foundation is used, a large-sized concrete structure is required, which is not easy to transport and install, and is not suitable for offshore wind power needs.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, we proposed a hybrid suction bucket duct frame fan foundation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a hybrid suction bucket pipe rack fan foundation, and the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A hybrid suction bucket catheter frame fan foundation, comprising a catheter frame structure and a suction bucket assembly, wherein the catheter frame structure is a truss structure of a pipe assembly; the suction bucket assembly is coaxially welded to the lower part of the column of the catheter frame structure, the catheter frame structure supports the upper fan load and transmits it to the suction bucket assembly, the catheter frame assembly adopts a pipe assembly, has a small flow resistance area in water, a large structural span, and effectively improves the in-situ stability;

[0006] The suction barrel assembly is a strong structure barrel body formed by rolling steel plates and having a sealed upper part and an open lower part. The suction barrel assembly is inserted into the seabed to provide basic bearing. The suction barrel assembly consists of a barrel body, a top cover, a support shaft plate, an anode assembly, and a support column. The barrel body supports the soil through the ends, and the friction between the inner and outer side walls and the soil forms bearing. According to the structural design, ribs can also be arranged in the longitudinal direction inside the barrel body to improve the ability to withstand internal pressure and achieve negative pressure penetration without buckling of the structure. The top cover is concentrically welded inside the barrel body to form a columnar member with an open bottom and a certain depth at the top. A ballast block is cast in the columnar depression formed by the top cover and the upper end of the barrel body. The support column is welded at the center of the upper end of the top cover. The support shaft plate along the diameter direction is welded between the support column and the top cover, and the anode assembly is welded on the top of the support shaft plate. An anti-scouring gravity ring is cast on the outside of the barrel body.

[0007] Preferably, a top flange for fan installation is provided on the upper portion of the duct frame structure, and the duct frame structure can be optionally provided with a three-column or four-column structure, and the bottom of the column is welded to the suction bucket assembly to form a three-legged or four-legged duct frame structure.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-scour gravity ring is a conical ring cast by high-density concrete and has an upper slope, and the bottom plane of the anti-scour gravity ring is flush with the top cover.

[0009] Preferably, the ballast block is a high-density load block made of steel sand concrete.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This patent uses three or four sets of suction buckets to support the upper fan load by welding the suction bucket assembly at the lower end of the conductor frame structure. For geology with shallow water depth and high bearing capacity of the surface soil, the depth of the suction bucket assembly structure into the mud is reduced, and a counterweight structure is added to the part above the mud surface of the barrel body. The outside of the barrel body is a sloped anti-scour gravity ring formed by pouring reinforced concrete, and ballast blocks are poured in the cylindrical depression between the cover plate and the upper end of the barrel body. They are all high-density concrete. In this way, the pull-out resistance of the suction bucket assembly is increased, the bearing capacity of the foundation is achieved, and the in-situ stability is improved. The anti-scour gravity ring can effectively reduce scour and improve the long-term stability of the foundation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
