Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A reinforcement device for offshore wind turbines includes two clamping rings 1. A connecting block 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer side of each clamping ring 1. A plug groove 3 is formed on the bottom surface of the connecting block 2. An installation block 4 is set at the bottom of the connecting block 2. A plug block 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation block 4. The top of the plug block 5 is located inside the plug groove 3. A connecting groove 6 is formed on the top of the plug block 5. A cavity 7 is formed inside the connecting block 2 above the plug groove 3. An installation mechanism is set between the cavity 7 and the connecting groove 6. A reinforcement rod 8 is movably installed at the bottom of the installation block 4 via a rotating shaft. A strip groove 9 is formed inside the reinforcement rod 8. A receiving groove 10 is formed on one side of the strip groove 9 at the bottom of the reinforcement rod 8. A fixing mechanism is set inside the receiving groove 10. An extension rod 11 is movably installed inside the strip groove 9. A conical fixing pile 12 is movably installed at the end of the extension rod 11 away from the reinforcement rod 8 via a rotating shaft.

[0025] By implementing the above solution, the structure of making the reinforcing rod 8 and the clamping ring 1 detachable allows the users to stack the ring-shaped clamping ring 1 together and the rod-shaped reinforcing rod 8 together when transporting the reinforcing device, thus facilitating the transportation of the reinforcing device.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the installation mechanism includes a lead screw 13, a threaded cylinder 14, a connecting plate 15, a slider 16, a pressure block 17, a locking block 18, and a slide groove 19. The lead screw 13 is movably mounted on the top of the cavity 7 via a rotating shaft. The threaded cylinder 14 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the lead screw 13. The connecting plate 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the threaded cylinder 14. The slider 16 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the connecting plate 15. The pressure block 17 is movably mounted on both sides of the bottom end of the cavity 7 via movable grooves. The locking block 18 is fixedly mounted on one bottom end of the pressure block 17. The slide groove 19 is opened on the top end of the pressure block 17 near the slider 16. One end of the slider 16 is movably connected to the slide groove 19.

[0027] The above solution, through the use of the installation mechanism, allows users to complete the connection and fixation simply by plugging in the parts and tightening the 25mm hex bolts. The operation is simple and convenient, the connection effect is firm, and the installation convenience and use effect of this reinforcement device are guaranteed.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a locking rod 20, a pressure plate 21 and a spring 22. The locking rod 20 is movably disposed between the two ends of the receiving groove 10 through the mounting hole. The surface of one end of the locking rod 20 located inside the strip groove 9 is inclined. The pressure plate 21 is fixedly disposed inside the receiving groove 10 on the outside of one end of the locking rod 20. The spring 22 is sleeved on one side of the pressure plate 21 on the outside of the locking rod 20.

[0029] The above solution uses a fixing mechanism to fix the extension rod 11 after adjustment and use.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the surface of the top of the pressure block 17 near the slider 16 is inclined;

[0031] The above scheme enables the pressure block 17 to move synchronously in a relative direction as the connecting plate 15 moves up and down.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, a first slot 23 is provided at the bottom of both sides inside the connecting groove 6;

[0033] With the above scheme, the first card slot 23 is used in conjunction with the card block 18;

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the connecting block 2 is provided with a fitting groove 24, and an internal hexagon bolt 25 is provided inside the fitting groove 24 at one end of the rotating shaft where the lead screw 13 is located;

[0035] By using the above solution, the method of embedding the internal hex bolt 25 into the fitting groove 24 can prevent the internal hex bolt 25 from rotating due to the influence of external forces on the seabed during the specific application of this reinforcement device, thus affecting the connection effect between the clamping ring 1 and the reinforcement rod 8, and ensuring the long-term use effect of this reinforcement device.

[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of second slots 26 are evenly formed on one side surface of the extension rod 11;

[0037] With the above solution, the second slot 26 is used in conjunction with the lever 20;

[0038] In this embodiment, when using the offshore wind power main reinforcement device, firstly, two clamping rings 1 are assembled on the outside of the offshore wind power equipment foundation pile. The clamping rings 1 are connected and fixed by bolts to the connecting lugs on them. The size of the clamping rings 1 matches the size of the foundation pile. Then, the plug block 5 on the reinforcement rod 8 is inserted into the plug groove 3. At this time, the bottom ends of the two pressure blocks 17 will be embedded in the connecting groove 6. By using a hex wrench to tighten the hex bolt 25, the screw rod 13 is driven to rotate. Due to the connection between the threaded cylinder 14 and the screw rod 13, the connecting plate 15 will move up and down with the rotation of the screw rod 13. Because the surface of the top of the pressure block 17 near the slider 16 is inclined, and the length of the connecting plate 15 is fixed and the sliding groove 19 is connected to the slider 16, the two pressure blocks 17 will move synchronously in opposite directions as the connecting plate 15 moves up and down. The movement causes both pressure blocks 17 to press against the inside of the connecting groove 6 and the locking block 18 to be embedded in the first locking groove 23, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the reinforcing rod 8 on the clamping ring 1. Then, according to the distance between the clamping ring 1 and the seabed, the overall length of the reinforcing rod 8 can be adjusted by pulling the extension rod 11, so that the reinforcing rod 8 can form a stable triangular support effect with the foundation pile when in use. When adjusting and using the extension rod 11, one end of the locking rod 20 needs to be pulled first so that the other end is disengaged from the second locking groove 26 on the extension rod 11. Then, the extension rod 11 is pulled. When it is extended to a suitable distance, the locking rod 20 is released and the other end is embedded into the corresponding second locking groove 26 that matches the suitable distance by the force of the spring 22. This completes the adjustment and use of the extension rod 11. Then, the conical fixing pile 12 is inserted into the mud on the seabed, thereby completing the installation and use of this reinforcement device.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
