[0002] With the continuous development and construction of floating power stations on the water surface, the importance of underwater mooring foundations has become increasingly prominent. In traditional anchoring forms, the anchor points are all located on the mud surface of the bottom of the water, which is greatly affected by the water depth. The increase in water depth will lead to an increase in underwater anchoring space and installation costs, and will also increase the drift space of the array, resulting in a waste of space and cost; in addition, due to the uncontrollable difference in underwater terrain elevation, the mooring connection rope may be unevenly stressed, affecting the safety of the system.

However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An anchoring and mooring structure 100 includes: a floating array 12, a connecting rope 13, a plurality of first anchors 10 and a plurality of floating components 11.

[0036] The floating array 12 is used to float on the water surface; all the first anchors 10 are arranged around the edge of the floating array 12 and anchored on the ground, and part of all the first anchors 10 are located below the water surface, and the other parts are located above the water surface; the floating components 11 correspond to the first anchors 10 one by one, and all the floating components 11 are movably mounted on the corresponding first anchors 10, and can move relative to the first anchors 10 to float on the water surface under the buoyancy of water; the connecting rope 13 is connected between the floating components 11 and the floating array 12.

[0037] In the present application, the anchored mooring structure 100 is anchored on the ground by a first anchor 10 to form a fixed anchor point, and then the connecting rope 13 is connected to the first anchor 10 through the floating component 11, and then the connecting rope 13 is connected to the floating array 12, thereby realizing the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10.

[0038] It can be understood that the floating array 12 floats on the water surface, and the floating component 11 can move relative to the first anchor 10 to float on the water surface under the buoyancy of the water. Therefore, the height difference between the floating component 11 and the floating array 12 in the direction of gravity is small, and the two are even relatively flush in the horizontal direction. The connecting rope 13 can be connected between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12 in the horizontal direction, or close to the horizontal direction.

[0039] In addition, the floating assembly 11 and the floating array 12 can always float on the water surface and change synchronously with the rise and fall of the water surface. The present application sets a part of the first anchor 10 below the water surface and the other part above the water surface to ensure that the floating assembly 11 has enough moving space to move synchronously with the rise and fall of the water surface, so that the connecting rope 13 can always be connected between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12 in the horizontal direction or close to the horizontal direction. In this way, the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10 is evenly stressed to effectively reduce the risk of breaking the connecting rope 13, and can ensure that the floating array 12 does not have large displacement translation and rotation, so as to reduce the drift space that needs to be reserved between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12, and at the same time can also ensure the safety of the anchoring and mooring structure 100, and the anchoring and mooring structure 100 provided by the present application has a small overall engineering volume and a low engineering construction cost, which saves costs.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the present application, the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the gravity direction.

[0041] The specific number of the first anchors 10 and the floating components 11 is not limited. It is understandable that the first anchors 10 need to be arranged at intervals around the edges of the floating array 12. Therefore, the specific number of the first anchors 10 needs to be determined based on multiple factors such as the perimeter of the floating array 12 and the interval distance between two adjacent first anchors 10. The specific number of the floating components 11 is equal to the specific number of the first anchors 10.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific number of the first anchor 10 and the floating component 11 is obtained through experimental testing, and the parameters, steps, etc. related to the experimental testing of the specific number of the first anchor 10 and the floating component 11 are conventional techniques of those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] The specific style of the floating component 11 is not limited. In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 All floating components 11 include a connecting member 111 and a floating member 112 connected to the connecting member 111. The connecting member 111 is movably connected to the corresponding first anchor 10. The floating member 112 is used to drive the connecting member 111 to move relative to the first anchor 10 and float on the water surface under the buoyancy of water.

[0044] It can be understood that the anchoring mooring structure 100 is fixed on the ground by anchoring the first anchor 10, and then the connecting rope 13 is connected to the first anchor 10 through the connecting member 111, and then the connecting rope 13 is connected to the floating array 12, so as to realize the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10. Among them, the floating member 112 is matched with the connecting member 111, and can drive the connecting member 111 to move relative to the first anchor 10 to float on the water surface under the buoyancy of the water, so that the connecting rope 13 can be connected between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12 in a horizontal direction or close to a horizontal direction. In this way, the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10 can be uniformly stressed, and it can be ensured that the floating array 12 does not undergo large displacement translation and rotation, so as to reduce the drift space that needs to be reserved between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12.

[0045] The specific style of the connecting member 111 and the specific matching form of the connecting member 111 and the first anchor member 10 are not limited.

[0046] For some examples, see Figure 2 and Figure 3, the connecting member 111 is a sleeve-type structure. It is understandable that in the present application, the connecting member 111 is sleeved on the first anchor 10. In this way, the floating array 12 is subjected to horizontal force under the action of waves on the water surface to drift, and the connecting member 111 surrounds the first anchor 10 to better conduct the horizontal force on the floating array 12, thereby achieving a stable connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10.

[0047] The specific material of the connecting member 111 is not limited. In some embodiments, the connecting member 111 is made of an elastic material.

[0048] It is understandable that the elastic material can make the connector 111 have better deformation ability and toughness. In this way, the connector 111 can better transmit the horizontal force exerted on the floating array 12 and is not easily damaged or failed, thereby ensuring the safety of the anchoring and mooring structure 100 and improving the service life of the product.

[0049] The specific style of the first anchor 10 is not limited. In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first anchor 10 is a columnar anchor pile.

[0050] It is understandable that when the first anchor 10 is a columnar anchor pile, one end of the first anchor 10 is fixed on the ground under the water surface to form a fixed anchor point, and the other end extends out of the water surface. In this way, when the floating component 11 and the floating array 12 change synchronously with the rise and fall of the water surface, the first anchor 10 can ensure that the floating component 11 has enough moving space to move synchronously with the rise and fall of the water surface, so that the connecting rope 13 can always be connected between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12 in a horizontal direction or close to a horizontal direction. In this way, the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10 is evenly stressed, and it can be ensured that the floating array 12 does not undergo large displacement translation and rotation, so as to reduce the drift space that needs to be reserved between the first anchor 10 and the floating array 12.

[0051] For other embodiments, see Figure 2 The first anchor 10 includes a first anchoring segment 101, a second anchoring segment 102 and a third anchoring segment 103. The third anchoring segment 103 is bent at two opposite ends in the same direction to form the first anchoring segment 101 and the second anchoring segment 102 respectively. Either the first anchoring segment 101 or the second anchoring segment 102 is fixed on the ground, and a part of the other is located below the water surface, and the other part is located above the water surface.

[0052] It can be understood that, when the bottom surface under the water surface cannot meet the requirements for anchoring the first anchor 10, the first anchor 10 can be anchored on the ground near the shore to form a fixed anchor point.

[0053] Specifically, the present application forms a fixed anchor point by fixing the first anchoring segment 101 on the ground at the shore, and the third anchoring segment 103 faces the side of the shore with the water surface, so as to extend the second anchoring segment 102 to the water surface through the third anchoring segment 103, and then make a part of the second anchoring segment 102 located below the water surface and the other part located above the water surface, and finally connect the connecting rope 13 to the second anchoring segment 102 through the floating component 11, and then connect the connecting rope 13 to the floating array 12, so as to realize the connection between the floating array 12 and the first anchor 10.

[0054] In the anchoring and mooring structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, different styles of the first anchor 10 can realize anchoring in different terrains, and the use is flexible and convenient.

[0055] For some examples, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The anchored mooring structure 100 further includes a reinforcement assembly 14, which is connected between the first anchor 10 and the ground.

[0056] It is understandable that the reinforcement assembly 14 can form a fixed anchor point with the ground and be connected between the first anchor 10 and the ground, thereby increasing the stability of the first anchor 10 to ensure the safety of the anchored mooring structure 100.

[0057] The specific style of the reinforcement component 14 is not limited. In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reinforcement assembly 14 includes a reinforcement rope 141 and a second anchor 142 . The second anchor 142 is fixed on the ground. The reinforcement rope 141 is connected between the first anchor 10 and the second anchor 142 .

[0058] It can be understood that the second anchor 142 is fixed on the ground to form a fixed anchor point, and the reinforcement rope 141 is connected between the first anchor 10 and the second anchor 142, thereby increasing the stability of the first anchor 10 to ensure the safety of the anchored mooring structure 100.

[0059] The specific style of the second anchor 142 is not limited. In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the second anchor 142 is a ground anchor.

[0060] For some examples, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first anchor 10 and the second anchor 142 are fixed on the ground at intervals.

[0061] It can be understood that the specific layout position between the first anchor 10 and the second anchor 142 requires that the second anchor 142 can support and stabilize the first anchor 10 after being connected to the first anchor 10 through the reinforcement rope 141, and the specific layout position between the first anchor 10 and the second anchor 142 needs to avoid mutual interference between the two and between the connecting rope 13 and the reinforcement rope 141.

[0062] A floating power station includes the anchoring and mooring structure 100 in the above embodiment.

[0063] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
