[0030] The utility model will be described further in detail below in combination with the embodiment of the drawings.
[0031] As Figures 1-8 shown, it is the best embodiment of the utility model.
[0032] As Figures 1-4 shown, the offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform of the embodiment includes photovoltaic array 3 and mooring system 4, and multiple mooring systems 4 are arranged at the periphery of photovoltaic array 3. Wherein, the mooring system 4 of the embodiment includes multiple mooring ropes 41, first cable divider 42, second cable divider 43 and mooring anchorage 44, first cable divider 42 and second cable divider 43 can all float on the sea surface, first cable divider 42 is a float pipe, second cable divider 43 is a buoy, and mooring anchorage 44 is fixed on the seabed, and adjacent photovoltaic array 3 can share mooring anchorage 44, and the sharing of mooring anchorage 44 can effectively reduce the occupation of marine space and improve the utilization rate of marine area.
[0033] The mooring rope 41 of the embodiment is directly or indirectly connected with photovoltaic array 3, so that the mooring system 4 forms a multi-stage force transmission path. Specifically, the mooring rope 41 of the embodiment includes multiple first mooring ropes 411, multiple second mooring ropes 412 and one third mooring rope 413, the first cable divider 42 is provided with multiple connection points for collecting the first mooring ropes 411, one end of each first mooring rope 411 is connected with one photovoltaic module 2 at the four peripheral edge sides of photovoltaic array 3, the other end of two adjacent first mooring ropes 411 is connected with one connection point on the first cable divider 42, so that the two first mooring ropes 411 are collected on the first cable divider 42, and the connection point of the first cable divider 42 is also connected with one end of one second mooring rope 412, the other end of the second mooring rope 412 is connected with the second cable divider 43, the first cable divider 42 transmits the force of the first mooring ropes 411 to the second mooring rope 412, and the force of all second mooring ropes 412 is collected on the second cable divider 43, one end of the third mooring rope 413 is connected with the second cable divider 43, and the other end is connected with the mooring anchorage 44, the second cable divider 43 transmits the force of the second mooring rope 412 to the third mooring rope 413, and the third mooring rope 413 is fixed on the mooring anchorage 44, so that the mooring system 4 forms a multi-stage force transmission path, so that the stability of the offshore floating photovoltaic platform is better.
[0034] As Figure 5As shown, the photovoltaic array 3 in this embodiment is composed of multiple photovoltaic strings 1 in an unfolded state, which are hinged together sequentially. Each photovoltaic string 1 includes multiple photovoltaic modules 2 capable of floating on the sea surface. The photovoltaic modules 2 are cuboid in shape. Multiple photovoltaic modules 2 are hinged together sequentially using hinge members 5 to form the photovoltaic string 1. The photovoltaic string 1 has two states. In the first state, the photovoltaic modules 2 are stacked, causing the photovoltaic string 1 to be in a folded state. In the second state, the multiple photovoltaic modules 2 are unfolded sequentially, causing the photovoltaic string 1 to be in an unfolded state. The process of the photovoltaic string 1 changing from the first state to the second state is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. In this embodiment, the photovoltaic string 1 has a good folding effect, with a folding scaling ratio of up to 1:10. For example, if the photovoltaic string 1 in the folded state is 5 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 1.2 meters high, then the photovoltaic string 1 in the unfolded state on the sea surface is 50 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 0.12 meters high, making the deployment efficiency of the photovoltaic array 3 higher.
[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the photovoltaic module 2 in this embodiment includes a photovoltaic module 21, a frame 22, and a floating plate 23. The photovoltaic module 21 is fixed on the frame 22, and the floating plate 23 is embedded and fixed in the cavity of the frame 22. The floating plate 23 can float in seawater, thereby allowing the photovoltaic module 2 to float on the sea surface. To fix the photovoltaic module 21 to the frame 22, multiple limiting rods 221 are fixed on the frame 22. The limiting rods 221 are screws that can be welded to the frame 22. The multiple limiting rods 221 form an installation space corresponding to the photovoltaic module 21. The limiting rods 221 can restrict the lateral movement of the photovoltaic module 21. After the photovoltaic module 21 is placed in the installation space, a pressure block 222 is installed on the limiting rod 221. The pressure block 222 is an anti-loosening nut. The nut is threadedly connected to the screw to press the photovoltaic module 21. The pressure block 222 can restrict the vertical movement of the photovoltaic module 21 and remove it from the installation space, thereby fixing the photovoltaic module 21 to the frame 22. Therefore, the photovoltaic module 2 in this embodiment is smaller in size, and the photovoltaic string 1 composed of the photovoltaic module 2 is also smaller when folded, which makes it easier to reduce the volume occupied by the photovoltaic string 1 during transportation, thereby making the offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform easier to transport.
[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the frame 22 is provided with multiple hinges 5 around its perimeter, and two adjacent photovoltaic modules 2 are hinged together by the hinges 5. Specifically, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, the hinge 5 in this embodiment includes a hinge seat 51 and a connecting rod 52. The hinge seat 51 is fixed to the outer end of the frame 22, and the two ends of the connecting rod 52 are respectively hinged to two opposite hinge seats 51. The hinge 5 enables the two connected photovoltaic modules 2 to rotate 360 degrees, so that the photovoltaic string 1 formed by multiple photovoltaic modules 2 connected in series can switch between the first state and the second state.
[0037] The workflow of the embodiment is as follows:
[0038] A. During transportation, the photovoltaic module string 1 is in the first state, and the photovoltaic module 2 of the photovoltaic module string 1 is stacked and arranged by means of the hinge 5, so that the photovoltaic module string 1 becomes a smaller cuboid structure;
[0039] B. When the offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform is installed on the sea surface, the photovoltaic module string 1 in the first state is stretched, and the plurality of photovoltaic modules 2 are sequentially laid out, so that the photovoltaic module string 1 becomes the second state, i.e., the photovoltaic module string 1 is in the unfolded state, and then the plurality of photovoltaic module strings 1 in the unfolded state are sequentially hinged to form the photovoltaic array 3;
[0040] C. Then, the mooring system 4 is installed around the photovoltaic array 3, i.e., one end of the first mooring cable 411 is connected to the photovoltaic module 2 around the edge side of the photovoltaic array 3, and the other end is connected to the connection point of the first cable divider 42, one end of the second mooring cable 412 is connected to the connection point of the first cable divider 42, and the other end is connected to the second cable divider 43, one end of the third mooring cable 413 is connected to the second cable divider 43, and the other end is connected to the mooring anchor 44, so that the mooring system 4 forms a multi-stage force transmission path, thereby completing the installation of the offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform;
[0041] D. During the operation of the offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform on the sea, the photovoltaic module 2 in the photovoltaic array 3 moves with the fluctuation of the sea surface waves.
[0042] The offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform of the present application can be applied to offshore wind farms, "wind and light in the same field", port areas not filled with seawater, nuclear power water discharge areas, seawater desalination, direct hydrogen production from seawater (green fuels such as methanol and ammonia), island off-grid community microgrid, etc. scenes; It can also be used on land and water surfaces other than the sea.
