[0002] With the increasing depletion of fossil fuels and the increasingly serious problems of environmental pollution and climate change, countries around the world have taken the development and utilization of renewable clean energy as an important way to achieve sustainable development. Wind energy, as a typical renewable clean energy, has developed rapidly in recent years. Among them, offshore wind power has become the focus of current clean energy development due to its rich wind energy resources, low turbulence, and low shear. Offshore wind power structures, especially offshore wind power structures with high foundation heights, are susceptible to loads such as wind, waves, ice, currents, and earthquakes in complex marine environments. The resulting severe vibration response of the structure has received widespread attention and attention from engineers.

[0003] In recent years, patents for vibration suppression of offshore wind power structure foundations include "An offshore wind power conductor frame structure with additional viscous dampers (CN113106999A)", which uses a combination of viscous dampers and conductor frame diagonal bracing rods to suppress the vibration response of the entire foundation structure. However, the number of viscous dampers used is large, the price is high, and they generally have poor weather resistance and high maintenance costs. Therefore, how to propose an economical and efficient vibration suppression device to suppress the vibration response of the offshore wind power conductor frame foundation structure and extend the fatigue life of the conductor frame foundation structure is also a key engineering and technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides an offshore wind power conductor frame foundation structure for suppressing vibration, including: a leg column, a plurality of the leg columns are tilted outward from top to bottom to form a conical structure; a strut, the strut connects any adjacent conductor frame leg columns along the height direction; a platform, the platform is fixed to the top of a plurality of conductor frame leg columns; a vibration suppression device, the vibration suppression device is arranged in the conical structure formed by the plurality of leg columns, and also includes: a sling, the sling is connected to the platform; a counterweight, the counterweight is connected to the sling; a buffer, the buffer connects the counterweight to the leg column; wherein each leg column is connected to the counterweight through the buffer. The center of gravity of the overall structure is lowered by the counterweight, and the vibration is absorbed by the buffer, so as to achieve the purpose of vibration suppression.

[0006] Furthermore, the counterweight is located on the central axis of the conical structure formed by the leg columns, which is beneficial to prevent the center of gravity from shifting.

[0007] Furthermore, the shortest distance between the edge of the counterweight and the leg column is not less than 15 cm to prevent collision with the leg column.

[0008] Furthermore, the buffer member is a spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer is a viscous damper. Furthermore, the stiffness and strength of the viscous damper are less than the stiffness and strength of the support rod. Thus, the viscous damper deforms before the support rod to absorb vibration.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a flange, which is arranged on the top of the platform and is used to place the wind turbine tower.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a barrel-type foundation, which is arranged at the bottom end of the leg column and is used to fix the leg column.

[0012] Furthermore, there are three leg columns, and the three leg columns form a triangular pyramid structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the sling is a steel wire rope.
