Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0024] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, the present utility model provides a semi-submersible fan foundation that is easy to disassemble, which is provided with a base 1, a plurality of column-shaped floating boxes 2 arranged circumferentially along the axis direction of the base 1, and a support platform 3 from bottom to top. Annular fixed seats 4 that are respectively matched with both ends of the floating boxes 2 are fixedly installed on the base 1 and the support platform 3. A plurality of jacks 401 are circumferentially arranged on the fixed seat 4 with the axis of the fixed seat 4 as the center. A plurality of limit grooves 402 that are respectively communicated with the jacks 401 one by one are arranged in the fixed seat 4. A plurality of limit blocks 201 corresponding to the jacks 401 one by one are arranged on the floating box 2. After the floating box 2 is inserted into the jack 401 along the limit block 201, rotating the floating box 2 can make the limit block 201 rotate into the limit groove 402 to limit the displacement of the floating box 2 along the axis direction.

[0025] In this solution, when installing the fan foundation, the fixed seat 4 is fixedly connected to the installation positions of the base 1 and the support platform 3 respectively. Among them, the fixing method of the fixed seat 4 to the base 1 or the support platform 3 can be fixed by bolts or integrally formed; when installing the floating box 2, the floating box 2 is slid down along the inner hole of the fixed seat 4. Among them, the limit blocks 201 fixedly installed on the peripheral wall of the floating box 2 are inserted into the fixed seat 4 corresponding to the jacks 401 one by one, and then the support platform 3 is installed on the floating box 2 in the same way, and then the floating box 2 is rotated to make the limit block 201 rotate into the limit groove 402 and be misaligned with the jack 401, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the base 1, the floating box 2, and the support platform 3.

[0026] In this solution, the floating box 2 is inserted into the fixed seat 4 and then the installation of the fan foundation is achieved by rotation. When disassembling, by rotating the floating box 2, the limit block 201 is aligned with the jack 401, and the support platform 3 and the floating box 2 can be disassembled, which facilitates disassembly and installation; and by setting a plurality of limit blocks 201, the stability of the installation of the floating box 2 is ensured.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, two adjacent limit grooves 402 are arranged separately, so that when the limit block 201 rotates in the limit groove 402, it can abut against the side wall of the limit groove 402, which is convenient for the operator to judge whether the limit block 201 is installed in place.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first side wall of the limit groove 402 and the first side wall of the jack 401 are located in the same plane. When the limit block 201 rotates in the limit groove 402 and abuts against the first side wall of the limit groove 402, the floating box 2 is slid out along the jack 401 to disengage from the fixed seat 4, which is convenient for the operator to judge the position of the floating box 2 during disassembly.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, a cover plate 202 is fixedly installed on the floating box 2, and the cover plate 202 is installed on the side of the limit block 201 away from the fixed seat 4. When the limit block 201 moves into the limit groove 402, the cover plate 202 covers the fixed seat 4 to close the jack 401, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the floating box 2 and the fixed seat 4 after the floating box 2 is installed.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, a conical groove 403 communicating with the inner hole of the fixed seat 4 is provided on the fixed seat 4, and a first inclined edge 203 with the same inclination angle as the conical groove 403 is provided at the end of the floating box 2 close to the fixed seat 4.

[0031] In this solution, the long side diameter of the conical groove 403 is larger than the diameter of the floating box 2, the short side diameter of the conical groove 403 is the same as the inner hole diameter of the fixed seat 4 and is also the same as the diameter of the floating box 2. When the floating box 2 is inserted into the inner hole of the fixed seat 4, the first inclined edge 203 of the floating box 2 slides into the conical groove 403, which is convenient for the automatic alignment of the floating box 2 during insertion and reduces the difficulty of manually aligning the floating box 2 with the inner hole of the fixed seat 4.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cover plate 202 can cooperate with the conical groove 403 to close the conical groove 403.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, a second inclined edge 204 cooperating with the conical groove 403 is provided on the limit block 201, so as to facilitate the limit block 201 to slide into the inner hole of the fixed seat 4 along the conical groove 403.

[0034] An offshore wind turbine, comprising the above-mentioned semi-submersible wind turbine foundation that is easy to disassemble and a wind turbine body installed on the support platform 3.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in terms of form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
