[0031] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 continuously, the tower lifting and rotating device 8 further comprises a rotating walking driving device, the rotating walking driving device is arranged on the rotating sliding seat 801, and the rotating sliding seat 801 moves along the circular guide rail 803 through the rotating walking driving device.

[0032] When the rotating walking driving device works, the rotating walking motor 805 drives the rotating walking gear 806 to rotate, so that the rotating walking gear 806 walks along the circular rack 804, and the whole rotating sliding seat 801 is driven to rotate.

[0033] It should be noted that the realization that the rotating sliding seat 801 autonomously walks on the circular guide rail 803 is a known technology in the mechanical field, and the rotating walking driving device and the circular rack 804 can also be replaced by other structures.

[0037] The central ballast water tank 3 and the corner ballast water tank 4 are both through the built-in water pump to suck and drain the water tank, which is a known technology and will not be repeated. In the case of severe wind and wave, the large central ballast water tank 3 will be filled with water to increase the draft of the entire system, making the entire structure more stable, and the corner ballast water tank 4 is used to adjust the weight and buoyancy by changing the internal horizontal plane to compensate for this error when the fan 2 is working. In addition, the corner ballast water tank 4 is anchored to the seabed by a cable.

[0038] The ballast water tank drives the entire device to dive and rise by changing its weight, and the fan overturning driving device 7 is another core device. The traditional cabin is controlled by the yaw system to make the cabin rotate around the vertical shaft of the tower drum, so that the blades always face the wind direction. The anti-taiwan level composite fan system discards this design, and when a typhoon comes, the fan overturning driving device 7 can make the cabin rotate around the horizontal shaft, and finally make the cabin blades and hub face vertically upward, as shown in Figure 1 .

When the yaw system works and the system needs to face the wind direction, the rotating sliding seat 801 moves around the circular guide rail 803, and after reaching the specified position, the cable is tightened to drive the tower drum 1 to rotate. However, the entire tower drum 1 needs to float and sink, so there is a lifting sliding seat 800 at the end of the connected tower drum 1, which can move up and down through the built-in motor to make the cable always horizontal with the sea level.

[0040] The construction process of the anti-taiwan level composite fan system is as follows:

[0041] Among them, the main components of the semi-submersible foundation are the central ballast water tank, the truss, the corner ballast water tank, and the damping plate. The main components of the columnar foundation are the tower drum ballast water tank, the tower drum, the fan overturning driving device, and the fan.

[0042] The semi-submersible foundation is installed at a designated location on land, then lifted by a crane and placed on a barge, transported to the wharf by the barge, and then sunk and left. The semi-submersible foundation floats and approaches the wharf.

[0043] The column foundation is transported to the wharf by land transport vehicle, the tower cylinder ballast water tank and the tower cylinder and a series of parts thereon are first installed at the wharf, then the crane hoists and places the tower cylinder ballast water tank at the center of the semi-submersible foundation, the column foundation is floated, and the cable automatic extension mechanism is installed.

[0044] After installation, the cable is straightened, the whole column foundation tends to be stable, then the crane starts to install the fan overturning driving device and the fan in sequence.

[0045] It should be noted that all the electric control parts in the anti-typhoon composite fan system are waterproofed by the known waterproof measures.

[0046] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
