Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to precast piles, and more particularly to combined precast photovoltaic pipe piles. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation, as an important green, clean, and renewable energy source, has experienced rapid development in China. Compared to onshore photovoltaic power generation, the ocean offers greater coverage, unobstructed waters, longer and more abundant sunshine, significantly increasing power generation. Therefore, some regions in China have already conducted a series of explorations and applications of offshore photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] Offshore photovoltaic (PV) systems are mainly divided into two categories: pile-based and floating. Currently, pile-based PV systems are the primary type. Simply put, pile-based PV systems have their supports deeply embedded in the soil or sandstone layers below sea level. Precast piles are widely used in offshore PV projects due to their adaptability, flexibility, and high construction efficiency.

[0004] The foundations for offshore photovoltaic systems need to withstand the harsh near-shore environment, including significant wave and current forces. Therefore, large-diameter precast piles are typically driven into the soil after penetrating seawater to depths of tens of meters. However, if... Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic (PV) piles in offshore solar power typically experience maximum bending moment several meters below the mud surface, after which the bending moment gradually decreases vertically upwards and downwards. Therefore, using precast piles of uniform diameter directly as the foundation for PV piles results in excessive material usage in areas with low bending moment, leading to high costs. Furthermore, a larger upper diameter increases the wave-crossing area, placing higher demands on the load-bearing performance of the PV piles, which requires further optimization and cost reduction.

In addition, the length of the first thick pile section is preferably less than the length of the first thin pile section 11, and at least the top of the first thin pile section 11 is a cylindrical section.

[0047] The combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the embodiment is made of prefabricated piles of different thicknesses according to the horizontal stress characteristics of the photovoltaic pile, and the whole photovoltaic pipe pile is made by splicing, which can optimize the pile body diameter according to the bending moment size under the complex seawater and seabed soil layer in the offshore area, reduce the pile diameter in the part with small bending moment to reduce the application of pile body material, ensure the bending stress resistance of the pile body in the part with large bending moment, match the pile body bearing capacity with the stress size distribution, and reduce the cost.

Embodiment two

[0050] In the embodiment, the same parts as in embodiment one are given the same reference numerals, and the same textual description is omitted.

[0051] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 Compared with embodiment one, the first thick pile section of the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the embodiment further has a lower cylindrical section 13 at the bottom of the first conical section 12. Preferably, the length of the lower cylindrical section 13 is 1.1 times or more, preferably 2 times or more, of the length of the first conical section 12, so as to sufficiently ensure the stability of the upper pile structure counterweight; in addition, in order to facilitate the pile connection construction of the upper pile 1 and the lower pile 2 and ensure the pile connection quality, the maximum outer diameter of the lower cylindrical section 13 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the top of the lower pile 2.

[0052] In the embodiment, in order to strengthen the bending and shear mechanical properties of the pile body, a plurality of vertical non-prestressed tendons 16 are embedded in the lower cylindrical section 13 of the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the embodiment, and the non-prestressed tendons 16 are distributed in a circumferential direction around the central axis of the upper pile 1 at intervals, as shown in Figure 4 In order to further comprehensively exert the mechanical strengthening effect of the non-prestressed tendons 16 and improve the bending and shear mechanical properties of the first thick pile section, the upper portions of the non-prestressed tendons 16 are circumferentially connected and fixed by ring-shaped stand tendons 18. Alternatively, the first conical section 12 is pre-embedded with non-prestressed tendons 17, and the two ends of the non-prestressed tendons 17 are bent and extended to the first thin pile section 11 and the lower cylindrical section 13.

[0053] Of course, in order to avoid the bending and shear mechanical properties from suddenly changing at the same height position of the pile body, the top portions of the non-prestressed tendons 16 are arranged in an up-and-down staggered manner on the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the embodiment.

[0054] In addition, compared with the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in embodiment one, the length of the first conical section 12 in the embodiment is shorter, and in order to improve the bending and shear mechanical properties of the short-size first conical section 12, the top portion of the non-prestressed tendon 16 is bent and inclined to extend to the first conical section 12 in the direction of the central axis of the upper pile 1, thereby forming a non-prestressed tendon bending portion 17, as shown in Figure 4 . Embodiment three

[0055] In this embodiment, the same parts as in Embodiments One or Two are given the same reference numerals, and the same textual description is omitted.

[0056] As shown in Figure 6 , compared with Embodiments One and Two, the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in this embodiment comprises, in sequence along the vertical direction, a middle pile 21 and a bottom pile 22.

The top of the second thick pile section 221 is connected to the bottom of the middle pile 21, and the outer diameter of the second thin pile section 222 is greater than the inner diameter of the second thick pile section 221. That is, the entire combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 has a structure of being thick in the middle and thin at both ends, which is beneficial to further optimizing the pile body diameter according to the size of the bending moment borne, thereby further reducing the material cost of the pile body.

[0058] As shown in Figure 6 , in the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in this embodiment, the taper value of the second frustum section 223 is greater than the taper value of the first frustum section 12. Preferably, the taper value of the second frustum section 223 is greater than 1.5 times the taper value of the first frustum section 12. Such a design can optimize the turning end bearing force and improve the vertical mechanical bearing performance of the pile body. In the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the present application, the taper value of the second frustum section 223 can also be equal to the taper value of the first frustum section 12.

[0059] To improve the stability of the pile body, at least one annular node 15 is arranged on the second thin pile section 222 at a position close to the bottom to strengthen the biting force of the bottom end of the bottom pile 22 and the soil body around the pile. In this embodiment, the first thick pile section and the top end plate 14 of the middle pile 21 are welded and fixed. Of course, the middle pile 21 and the end plate 14 of the second thick pile section 221 can also be welded and fixed.

[0060] The combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in this embodiment has a middle pile 21 of prestressed concrete pipe pile. To improve the performance under large bending moment stress, the middle pile 21 is preferably a UHPC pipe pile (i.e., an ultra-high performance concrete pile). Of course, the combined prefabricated photovoltaic pipe pile 100 provided in the present application can also directly use a steel pipe pile for the middle pile 21 to reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and also impossible to exhaust all the implementation modes.
