Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pile driving noise reduction, in particular to a pile driving noise reduction device for offshore wind power. Background Art

[0002] Wind power equipment installed at sea generally needs to be piled with piling equipment in the corresponding area at sea before installation, and the pile body is driven into the soil in the sea to increase the stability of the installation of the wind power equipment. In the process of piling at sea, in order to avoid noise from harming marine life, some noise reduction structures are needed to reduce noise. In the public patent 202210170365.3, a noise reduction outer layer and an electromagnetic transmission device are included. The electromagnetic transmission device includes a first annular electromagnet, a second annular electromagnet, a replacement and a pile cap. The bottom of the pile cap is embedded on the inner side of the top of the steel pipe pile. The top of the pile cap is a truncated cone. The outer diameter of the bottom of the pile cap is greater than the outer diameter of the steel pipe pile...Thereby reducing the contact transmission force between the hammer and the replacement, reducing noise from the sound source, avoiding direct contact to reduce noise, and at the same time, bubble curtain walls are arranged on both sides of the shell, and there are multiple reflection angles inside the shell. Sound waves enter the shell and are continuously reflected and consumed. Part of the sound waves enter the inner layer of the shell. In the inner layer, the sound wave energy is absorbed by the hollow elastic sphere and reversely offset, thereby achieving external noise reduction effect.

[0003] The above method reduces the wave transmission by reducing contact transmission and spraying bubbles, but the pile is generally inserted into the seawater and the pile material itself is a conductor of sound conduction.
