Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of offshore wind power technology, and in particular to an adjustable center of gravity stabilization platform. Background Technology

[0002] In offshore wind power and other fields, pile stabilization platforms play a crucial role in providing precise positioning, stable support, and effective guidance for foundation piles, and are particularly suitable for shallow water areas, deep sea areas, and various complex seabed topography. These platforms are essential for ensuring the stability and construction efficiency of pile driving operations in complex marine environments.

[0003] However, traditional stabilized platforms have significant shortcomings in dealing with dynamic environments such as ocean currents and waves. Because they cannot adjust their center of gravity in real time according to these complex and ever-changing environmental factors, the platforms are often susceptible to external interference during construction, leading to frequent tilting or swaying. This not only seriously affects the stability of the platform, but also greatly limits its adaptability to uneven seabed terrain, thus bringing many challenges to offshore operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that traditional pile stabilization platforms cannot adjust their center of gravity, this application provides an adjustable center of gravity pile stabilization platform.

[0005] The adjustable center-of-gravity pile stabilizing platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable center of gravity type stabilizing platform includes a platform body. Two pontoons are arranged symmetrically on one side of the platform body. Each pontoon includes a solid part and a liquid part. The liquid part is located above the solid part. A liquid chamber for storing liquid is opened in the liquid part. A liquid inlet and a liquid outlet for adjusting the liquid capacity are provided on the surface of the liquid part. A counterweight mechanism for counterweighting is provided on the other side of the platform body.

[0007] Because the platform cannot adjust its center of gravity in real time according to these complex and ever-changing environmental factors, it is often susceptible to external interference during construction, leading to frequent tilting or swaying. This not only seriously affects the platform's stability but also greatly limits its adaptability to uneven seabed terrain, thus posing numerous challenges to offshore operations. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, including the platform body, two pontoons are installed on one side of the platform body's mounting piles. The pontoons consist of a solid part and a liquid part. The liquid part has a liquid chamber with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and a counterweight mechanism is installed on the platform body. When the stabilizing platform is under construction, it is first safely transported to the designated construction area by ship. The platform is then slowly placed on the seabed. According to the actual seabed terrain and expected construction conditions, the liquid volume inside the pontoons is adjusted through the liquid inlet and outlet, and the counterweight is added or removed through the counterweight mechanism to adjust the center of gravity, thereby meeting the requirements of the construction process.

[0008] By incorporating pontoons and counterweight mechanisms, the platform can adjust its center of gravity in real time according to complex and variable environmental factors such as ocean currents and waves. The regulation of the liquid within the pontoons and the adjustment of the counterweight mechanism allow the platform to respond quickly to external disturbances, effectively preventing tilting or swaying. This makes it suitable for various uneven seabed terrains, enhancing its adaptability to complex marine environments. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the pontoons and counterweight mechanisms enables precise center of gravity control during construction, helping to ensure the verticality and stability of the piles, thereby improving construction quality and efficiency. The platform can quickly adjust to its optimal state, reducing construction delays and additional costs caused by an unstable center of gravity.

[0009] Optionally, the platform body is provided with an assembly mechanism for installing the pontoon. The assembly mechanism includes a support rod and an assembly block. The support rod is connected to the platform body, and the assembly block is connected to the bottom of the solid part of the pontoon. The assembly block has a through-hole for cooperating with the support rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly mechanism is installed on the platform body. The assembly mechanism includes support rods and assembly blocks. The support rods and assembly blocks provide a solid support foundation for the pontoons, which helps reduce the swaying of the pontoons under the action of external forces such as waves and currents, enhances the overall stability of the platform, and is easy to install. The cooperation between the assembly blocks and the support rods ensures the precise positioning and stable installation of the pontoons on the platform, which helps to avoid misalignment or loosening of the pontoons during the installation process, further improving the stability of the platform. At the same time, the design of the assembly mechanism has a certain degree of versatility and can adapt to pontoons of different sizes and specifications. The platform can select the appropriate pontoons for installation according to actual needs, which improves the flexibility and applicability of the platform.

[0011] Optionally, the number of assembly mechanisms corresponding to any of the pontoons may be multiple sets, and the multiple sets of assembly mechanisms may be arranged in parallel below the solid part of the pontoon.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the number of assembly mechanisms is multiple. With the setting of multiple assembly mechanisms, multiple support points are provided for the pontoon. The multi-point support method helps to reduce the situation of excessive force on a single point, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the pontoon and the platform body.

[0013] Optionally, a diagonal brace is provided below the support rod for support. One end of the diagonal brace is connected to the platform body, and the other end of the diagonal brace is connected to the support rod. A triangular area is formed between the diagonal brace, the platform body, and the support rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the diagonal bracing is welded and fixed between the support rod and the platform body. Through the setting of the diagonal bracing, the triangular structure has excellent stability and load-bearing capacity in terms of mechanics, which can effectively resist deformation and overturning under external forces, enhance the connection strength between the platform body and the support rod, and make the entire structure more stable when subjected to lateral forces or overturning moments. This helps to reduce the swaying and tilting of the platform in harsh marine environments and improves construction safety.

[0015] Optionally, the counterweight mechanism includes two counterweight seats and several counterweight blocks. The two counterweight seats are symmetrically arranged on the platform body, and both counterweight seats are arranged on the side of the platform body away from the pontoon. The several counterweight blocks are respectively arranged on the two counterweight seats, and each counterweight block is slidably disposed on the corresponding counterweight seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the counterweight mechanism includes two counterweight seats and several counterweight blocks. The setting of counterweight seats and counterweight blocks helps to balance the center of gravity of the platform. In particular, adding counterweights on the side away from the pontoon can effectively resist the overturning moment generated by the pontoon or other equipment and maintain the overall stability of the platform. At the same time, the counterweight blocks are slidably assembled on the counterweight seats, and the position and number of counterweight blocks can be quickly and conveniently adjusted according to actual needs, which helps the platform maintain the optimal center of gravity distribution under different construction conditions.

[0017] Optionally, each of the counterweights is provided with a positioning protrusion for positioning and preventing slippage, and each of the corresponding counterweights is provided with a mating groove for engaging with the positioning protrusion.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning protrusion is integrally formed on the counterweight base, and the mating groove is formed on the counterweight block. The positioning protrusion and the mating groove are mated together. Through the setting of the positioning protrusion and the mating groove, and the mating method of the positioning protrusion and the mating groove, the accurate positioning of the counterweight block on the counterweight base can be ensured, reducing the misalignment or shaking of the counterweight block during the installation process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire counterweight mechanism.

[0019] Optionally, any of the counterweight seats may also be provided with a support boss for supporting the counterweight block, the support boss being arranged below the positioning protrusion.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the support boss is integrally formed on the counterweight base. The design of the support boss provides an additional support surface for the counterweight block, increases the contact area between the counterweight block and the counterweight base, and enables the counterweight block to be placed more stably on the counterweight base when under force, reducing the shaking or tilting caused by uneven force.

[0021] Optionally, control valves for controlling the on / off state of the outlet are provided at both the liquid inlet and liquid outlet of the float box liquid section.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, control valves are installed at both the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet. Through the setting of the control valves, the flow of liquid can be precisely controlled, including the opening and closing time, the flow rate, etc., to ensure a stable supply and discharge of liquid inside the float box, thereby meeting different working requirements.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] With the addition of pontoons and counterweight mechanisms, the platform can adjust its center of gravity in real time according to complex and ever-changing environmental factors such as ocean currents and waves. By regulating the liquid inside the pontoons and adjusting the counterweight mechanism, the platform can quickly respond to external disturbances and effectively avoid tilting or swaying. It is suitable for various uneven seabed terrains, improving its adaptability to complex marine environments. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the pontoons and counterweight mechanisms enables the platform to achieve precise center of gravity control during construction, which helps to ensure the verticality and stability of the piles, thereby improving construction quality and efficiency. It can quickly adjust to the optimal state, reducing construction delays and additional costs caused by unstable center of gravity.

[0025] The support rods and assembly blocks provide a solid support foundation for the pontoons, which helps reduce the swaying of the pontoons under the action of external forces such as waves and currents, enhances the overall stability of the platform, and is easy to install. The cooperation between the assembly blocks and the support rods ensures the precise positioning and stable installation of the pontoons on the platform, which helps to avoid misalignment or loosening of the pontoons during the installation process, further improving the stability of the platform. At the same time, the design of the assembly mechanism has a certain degree of versatility and can adapt to pontoons of different sizes and specifications. The platform can select the appropriate pontoons for installation according to actual needs, which improves the flexibility and applicability of the platform.

[0026] The use of counterweight seats and counterweight blocks helps to balance the platform's center of gravity. In particular, adding counterweights on the side away from the pontoon can effectively resist the overturning moment generated by the pontoon or other equipment, maintaining the overall stability of the platform. At the same time, the counterweight blocks are slidably mounted on the counterweight seats, allowing for quick and convenient adjustment of the position and number of counterweight blocks as needed, which helps the platform maintain the optimal center of gravity distribution under different construction conditions.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses an adjustable center-of-gravity pile stabilizing platform. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The adjustable center of gravity pile stabilizing platform includes a platform body 1. In this embodiment, the platform body 1 is used to install piles and is usually equipped with corresponding pile installation equipment and systems so that the piles can be accurately driven into the seabed or riverbed.

[0033] Reference Figure 1Two pontoons 2 are installed on one side of the platform body 1. In this embodiment, the two pontoons 2 are symmetrically installed on the working side of the platform body 1 where the frame is installed. The main function of the pontoons 2 is to provide sufficient buoyancy. Each pontoon 2 includes a solid part 21 and a liquid part 22. The solid part 21 is located below the liquid part 22. An assembly mechanism 7 is installed on the platform body 1. The assembly mechanism 7 is used to install the pontoons 2.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liquid section 22 has a liquid chamber 3 inside. In this embodiment, the liquid chamber 3 stores liquid, which can be water. The surface of the liquid section 22 is formed with a liquid inlet 4 and a liquid outlet 5. The liquid inlet 4 is located at the top of the liquid section 22 of the float box 2, and the liquid outlet 5 is located on the side wall of the liquid section 22 of the float box 2. Both the liquid inlet 4 and the liquid outlet 5 are connected to the interior of the liquid chamber 3. A control valve 13 is installed at both the liquid inlet 4 and the liquid outlet 5 of the liquid section 22. The control valve 13 can precisely control the flow of liquid, including the opening and closing time, the flow rate, etc., to ensure a stable supply and discharge of liquid inside the float box 2, thereby meeting different working requirements.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The assembly mechanism 7 includes a support rod 71 and an assembly block 72. The support rod 71 is welded and fixed to the platform body 1, and the assembly block 72 is installed and fixed to the bottom of the solid part 21 of the pontoon 2. The assembly block 72 has a through-hole 8, and the assembly block 72 cooperates with the support rod 71 through the assembly hole 8. In this embodiment, the assembly block 72 is installed on the support rod 71 and further fixed by spot welding or other methods. This provides a solid support foundation for the pontoon 2, which helps to reduce the swaying of the pontoon 2 under the action of external forces such as waves and currents. The assembly mechanism 7 enhances the overall stability of the platform and is easy to install. The cooperation between the assembly block 72 and the support rod 71 ensures the precise positioning and stable installation of the pontoon 2 on the platform, which helps to avoid misalignment or loosening of the pontoon 2 during the installation process, and further improves the stability of the platform. At the same time, the design of the assembly mechanism 7 has a certain degree of versatility and can adapt to pontoons 2 of different sizes and specifications. The platform can select the appropriate pontoon 2 for installation according to actual needs, which improves the flexibility and applicability of the platform.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Each support rod 71 is equipped with a diagonal brace 9. One end of the diagonal brace 9 is welded and fixed to the support rod 71, and the other end is welded and fixed to the platform body 1. A triangular area is formed between the diagonal brace 9, the platform body 1, and the support rod 71. Mechanically, the triangular structure has excellent stability and load-bearing capacity, which can effectively resist deformation and overturning under external forces. It enhances the connection strength between the platform body 1 and the support rod 71, making the entire structure more stable when subjected to lateral forces or overturning moments. This helps to reduce the swaying and tilting of the platform in harsh marine environments and improves construction safety.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the number of assembly mechanisms 7 corresponding to any float 2 is multiple sets, and the multiple sets of assembly mechanisms 7 are arranged in parallel below the solid part 21 of the float 2. The multiple sets of assembly mechanisms 7 provide multiple support points for the float 2. The multi-point support method helps to reduce the situation of excessive force on a single point, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the float 2 and the platform body 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A counterweight mechanism 6 is installed on the side of the platform body 1 away from the pontoon 2. The counterweight mechanism 6 includes two counterweight seats 61 and several counterweight blocks 62. The two counterweight seats 61 are symmetrically installed on the platform body 1, and the several counterweight blocks 62 are respectively installed on the two counterweight seats 61. In this embodiment, the number of counterweight blocks 62 on the counterweight seats 61 can be adjusted. Each counterweight block 62 is slidably assembled on the corresponding counterweight seat 61. This helps to balance the center of gravity of the platform. In particular, adding counterweight on the side away from the pontoon 2 can effectively resist the overturning moment generated by the pontoon 2 or other equipment and maintain the overall stability of the platform. At the same time, the counterweight blocks 62 are slidably assembled on the counterweight seats 61, and the position and number of counterweight blocks 62 can be quickly and conveniently adjusted according to actual needs, which helps the platform maintain the best center of gravity distribution under different construction conditions.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 Each counterweight seat 61 has an integrally formed support boss 12. The design of the support boss 12 provides an additional support surface for the counterweight 62, increases the contact area between the counterweight 62 and the counterweight seat 61, and enables the counterweight 62 to be placed more stably on the counterweight seat 61 when under force, reducing the shaking or tilting caused by uneven force.

[0040] Reference Figure 1Meanwhile, each counterweight seat 61 is integrally formed with a positioning protrusion 10, which is located above the support protrusion 12. Each counterweight block 62 is integrally formed with a mating groove 11, which mates with the positioning protrusion 10. The mating method between the positioning protrusion 10 and the mating groove 11 can ensure the precise positioning of the counterweight block 62 on the counterweight seat 61, reduce the misalignment or shaking of the counterweight block 62 during installation, and thus improve the stability and reliability of the entire counterweight mechanism 6.

[0041] The implementation principle of an adjustable center of gravity stabilizing platform according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the stabilizing platform is under construction, firstly, the stabilizing platform is safely transported to the predetermined construction sea area by ship, and the platform is slowly placed on the seabed. According to the actual topography of the seabed and the expected construction conditions, the liquid capacity in the buoy 2 is adjusted through the liquid inlet 4 and liquid outlet 5 of the buoy 2, and the counterweight is increased or decreased through the counterweight mechanism 6 to adjust the center of gravity, thereby meeting the needs of the construction process and carrying out construction.

[0042] With the addition of pontoons 2 and counterweight mechanism 6, the platform can adjust its center of gravity in real time according to complex and variable environmental factors such as ocean currents and waves. By regulating the liquid inside pontoons 2 and adjusting counterweight mechanism 6, the platform can quickly respond to external disturbances and effectively avoid tilting or swaying. It is suitable for various uneven seabed terrains, improving its adaptability to complex marine environments. At the same time, the synergistic effect of pontoons 2 and counterweight mechanism 6 enables the platform to achieve precise center of gravity control during construction, which helps ensure the verticality and stability of the piles, thereby improving construction quality and efficiency. It can quickly adjust to the optimal state, reducing construction delays and additional costs caused by unstable center of gravity.
