When the height of the hoop assembly 4 is adjusted, the guide sleeve 1 and the column 2 are driven to move relative to each other through the lifting assembly 3, and the column 2 drives the hoop assembly 4 to move, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the height of the hoop assembly 4. When the hoop assembly 4 completes the pile sinking operation of a pile body, in order to adapt to the pile bodies at different horizontal installation positions, the telescopic arm 72 and the telescopic seat 73 move, so that the telescopic arm 72 between the telescopic shaft 71 and the telescopic block 721 rotates relatively, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed seat 6 and the adjustment seat 5, and achieving the effect of adjusting the horizontal distance between the hoop assembly 4 and the hull. When the jack-up platform ship stands on the seabed through the pile legs, it is convenient to adjust the position of the arm claw 42, reduce the situation of driving the movement of the hoop assembly 4 by the movement of the jack-up platform ship, and reduce the cost of pile sinking operations.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a telescopic slot 731 is formed on the telescopic seat 73, and a group of telescopic blocks 721 are slidably arranged in the telescopic slot 731, wherein one telescopic block 721 is rotatably connected to one of the telescopic arms 72, and the other telescopic block 721 is rotatably connected to the other telescopic arm 72.

The lifting shaft 33 is rotatably arranged in the guide sleeve 1, and the lifting gear 32 is sleeved on the lifting shaft 33, and the lifting gear 32 is welded to the lifting shaft 33. The lifting rack 31 is welded to the column 2, the lifting rack 31 is inserted in the guide sleeve 1, and the lifting rack 31 and the lifting gear 32 are meshed with each other. The lifting motor 34 is started to drive the lifting shaft 33 to rotate, the lifting shaft 33 rotates to drive the lifting gear 32 to rotate, the lifting gear 32 rotates to drive the lifting rack 31 to move, and the movement of the lifting rack 31 drives the column 2 to move along the guide sleeve 1.
[0038] In order to achieve the effect of holding the pile, refer to Figures 1 to 6 The clamp assembly 4 includes a fixed beam 41 and a group of arm claws 42. The fixed beam 41 is fixedly connected to the column 2, and the arm claws 42 are symmetrically installed on the fixed beam 41. A group of motor slots 431 are opened on the fixed beam 41, and the motor slots 431 are located below the arm claws 42.

The clamp motor 43 is installed in each motor slot 431, and the output shaft of the clamp motor 43 is welded to the arm claw 42. The clamp motor 43 is enclosed in the motor slot 431 to protect the clamp motor 43. The fixed beam 41 supports the arm claw 42, reduces the pressure on the clamp motor 43, and thus prolongs the service life of the clamp motor 43. The clamp motor 43 starts to drive the arm claw 42 to rotate, so that the arm claw 42 and the fixed beam 41 rotate relative to each other, and then the arm claw 42 holds the pile body.
[0039] The implementation principle of a pile gripper installed on a self-elevating platform in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when adjusting the height of the arm claw 42, the lifting motor 34 starts to drive the guide sleeve 1 and the column 2 to move relative to each other, and the column 2 drives the arm claw 42 on the fixed beam 41 to move, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the arm claw 42. After the pile body between the arm claws 42 completes the pile sinking operation, in order to adapt to the pile body at different horizontal installation positions, the telescopic motor 8 is started to rotate the telescopic arm 72 between the telescopic shaft 71 and the telescopic seat 73, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed seat 6 and the adjustment seat 5, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the horizontal distance between the arm claw 42 and the hull. When the self-elevating platform ship stands on the seabed through the pile legs, it is convenient to adjust the position of the arm claw 42, reduce the situation of driving the arm claw 42 to move by the movement of the self-elevating platform ship, and reduce the cost of pile sinking operations.
