[0002] As a clean, unlimited, and renewable energy source, solar energy holds broad development prospects. Photovoltaic technology, which uses solar cells to directly convert solar energy into electricity, is one of the most mature and widely used methods of utilizing solar energy. Offshore photovoltaics are an emerging area of solar energy utilization, offering advantages such as favorable sunlight conditions, low temperatures, a small land area footprint, and minimal impact on agriculture and the environment. Vigorously promoting the research and application of offshore photovoltaic power generation can effectively alleviate land resource constraints and increase the supply of new energy.

To achieve offshore photovoltaic power generation more conveniently, safely, and economically, a reliable, easy-to-construct, low-cost, and durable offshore photovoltaic platform structure is needed.

[0013] Two groups of cable trough boxes are respectively arranged on both sides of the steel grille and fixedly connected to the crossbeam;
[0014] A plurality of the rotating shaft structures are arranged on the longitudinal beam, so that the transverse beam can be folded.

[0016] A plurality of oblique support rods are welded on the welding ball, and the plurality of oblique support rods are radially arranged on the welding ball.
[0017] Furthermore, the steel truss platform is composed of an upper chord, a lower chord, a web, and a purlin. The upper chord and the lower chord are arranged opposite to each other, and there are multiple webs. Multiple webs are arranged between the upper chord and the lower chord and fixedly connect the upper chord and the lower chord; multiple purlins are arranged on the upper chord, and the multiple upper chords extend in the north-south and east-west directions respectively, and are staggered with each other to form the upper plane of the steel truss platform. The purlins are distributed in the east-west direction, and the photovoltaic modules are fixed to the purlins by screws.
[0018] Furthermore, the box-type transformer platform is composed of horizontal rods, vertical rods, and connecting diagonal rods, which are used to bear the box-type transformer load and transfer the load to the steel truss platform. Multiple horizontal rods are horizontally arranged on the upper chord rod, and multiple vertical rods are vertically arranged at one end of the horizontal rod, and the bottom of the vertical rod is connected to the upper chord rod.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a trestle pile, which is located on one side of the steel truss platform and provides a splicing platform for the cable trestle. The cable trestle is welded to the lower chord and spliced on the trestle pile.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] The box-type transformer platform is installed on the steel truss platform. Traditional box-type transformer platforms are often separated from the photovoltaic bracket and need to be piled separately. The box-type transformer platform is integrated into the steel truss platform, which reduces the steel and offshore construction process, achieving the purpose of convenient construction and low cost.
[0026] A foldable cable trestle is welded on a steel truss platform, which can provide both cable layout and manual maintenance channels, thereby improving the safety and rationality of cable lines, reducing the difficulty of maintenance, and facilitating later inspection and maintenance work. The cable trestle is provided with a rotating shaft structure, which can be folded during the hoisting process to reduce the hoisting volume.

[0027] 3. A steel truss platform is used as the load-bearing structure of the photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic modules are connected to the purlins through bolts. The purlins are laid flat on the upper chord. The upper chord is welded to the lower chord through the web to form a truss structure. This connection structure is reliable and has good rigidity. It can effectively bear the load of the photovoltaic modules, achieving the purpose of structural reliability and good durability.
[0028] Fourth, a diagonal bracing system is used as the connecting component between the pile foundation and the steel truss platform. The angle of the steel platform is controlled by the length of the diagonal bracing, so that the photovoltaic modules are laid at a certain angle to the south. A certain shielding distance is reserved between each photovoltaic module, thereby maximizing the use of sunlight resources and increasing the power generation of the photovoltaic modules. In addition, welding balls are used to weld the diagonal bracing and steel pipe piles to avoid stress concentration and loose welding problems, thereby achieving good durability and structural reliability.
[0029] Fifth, steel pipe piles are used as the pile foundation of the structural system. Traditional photovoltaic systems often use PHC pipe piles. Although the unit price is low, the pile spacing is small and the ability to resist ice and waves is poor. Steel pipe piles can withstand greater horizontal and vertical loads, thereby achieving structural reliability and good durability.
[0030] 6. Using an integrated construction method, photovoltaic modules, steel truss platforms, box-type transformer platforms, cable trestle and diagonal bracing systems can be welded, bolted and anti-corrosion processed in an onshore processing plant. The cable trestle can be folded and tied to the steel truss platform, and then transported to the site as a whole for welding with steel pipe piles. The cable trestle is untied, unfolded and welded to the trestle piles, reducing the time and process of on-site offshore construction operations, reducing construction difficulty and economic costs, and achieving the goal of low cost and convenient construction.

[0047] The box-type transformer platform 4 is composed of horizontal rods 41, vertical rods 42, and connecting diagonal rods 43. It is used to bear the box-type transformer load and transfer the load to the steel truss platform 3. Multiple horizontal rods 41 are horizontally arranged on the upper chord rod 31, and multiple vertical rods 42 are vertically arranged at one end of the horizontal rod 41. The bottom of the vertical rod 42 is connected to the upper chord rod 31.
[0048] The cable trestle 6 includes a crossbeam 61, a longitudinal beam 62, a steel grille 66, a guardrail column 63, a connecting rod 64, a cable trough box 65, and a rotating shaft structure 67;
[0049] The two longitudinal beams 62 are arranged opposite to each other, and multiple cross beams 61 are arranged between the two longitudinal beams 62 and their two ends are fixedly connected to the two longitudinal beams 62 respectively. The multiple cross beams 61 extend along the length direction of the longitudinal beams 62 to form a ladder-like structure; multiple steel grilles 66 are respectively laid on the multiple cross beams 61; multiple guardrail posts 63 are distributed along the length direction of the longitudinal beams 62 and are welded on the longitudinal beams 62 at equal intervals; multiple connecting rods 64 are respectively arranged between two adjacent guardrail posts 63 and fixedly connected to the guardrail posts 63; the cable trestle 6 also includes a cable trough box 65 and a rotating shaft structure 67; two groups of cable trough boxes 65 are respectively arranged on both sides of the steel grille 66 and fixedly connected to the cross beam 61; multiple rotating shaft structures 67 are all arranged on the longitudinal beam 62, so that the cross beam 61 can be folded.
