[0017] The following further illustrates in conjunction with specific embodiments, referring to Figures 1-3 The utility model discloses a kind of water flow resistance reduction devices for the steel trestle water steel pipe pile, including the sharp cone assembly 1 that baffle steel pipe pile body 5 front, sharp cone assembly 1 includes two groups of front end abutment baffle 11, connecting plate 12 and mounting ring 13, mounting ring 13 is sleeved on steel pipe pile body 5, the tail end of connecting plate 12 is connected with mounting ring 13, two baffles 11 are rotationally connected with the front end of connecting plate 12;Two baffles 11 form conical top structure, and steel pipe pile body 5 is located at the opening end side of two baffles 11;Spring 2 is connected between two baffles 11;Specifically, this sharp cone assembly 1 baffle steel pipe pile front and directly meets water flow direction, two baffles 11 will originally impact on steel pipe pile on water flow and distribute;In addition, when water flow is too large, the front end of baffle 11 will relatively rotate and converge spring 2 compression, the tail end of two baffles 11 can even stick to the surface of steel pipe pile, baffle 11 also consumes part of energy in the process of rotation, so as to realize the purpose of effective resistance reduction of steel pipe pile.

[0018] As Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments also includes a damper 3, both ends of the damper 3 are respectively hinged with the baffle 11 and the connecting plate 12; Specifically, when the two baffles 11 are closed under the impact of the water flow, the damper 3 can consume part of the energy, reducing the impact force.

[0019] As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting ring 13 in the embodiment is rotatably connected with the steel pipe pile body 5, and the inner side of the mounting ring 13 is provided with a bearing 4; Specifically, because the water flow direction angle may change at any time, the tapered top of the two baffles 11 can better face the water flow, and the water force will automatically adjust the deflection of the baffle 11 by a certain angle, and in order to avoid the possibility of deflection of the baffle 11 by 180 degrees, a limiting mechanism can be correspondingly arranged.

[0020] As shown, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting ring 13 in the embodiment is provided with at least two symmetrically distributed on both sides of the baffle 11, so that the baffle 11 with a longer length can be arranged along the axial direction of the steel pipe pile, thereby increasing the acting area, and multiple mounting rings 13 are arranged to adapt to multiple uniform action points.

[0021] Better, the baffle 11 is arranged in a vertical manner.

[0022] The surface of the baffle 11 in the embodiment is coated with a hydrophobic coating; Specifically, the surface energy of the hydrophobic coating is low, so that it is difficult for water to form a continuous water film on its surface. When the steel pipe pile is coated with a hydrophobic coating, the adhesion of water on its surface is reduced, thereby reducing the resistance. For example, some fluorine-containing polymer coatings, the fluorine atoms in the molecular structure have very low surface free energy. When water contacts the surface of such a coating, water beads will roll off instead of lying flat on the surface, reducing the friction between water and the steel pipe pile. In some small steel pipe pile tests in marine engineering, after using fluorine-containing hydrophobic coating, it is found through water flow resistance test that compared with the uncoated steel pipe pile, the resistance is reduced by about 10%-20%.

[0023] In order to reduce the noise generated by the impact of the baffle 11 and the steel pipe pile during the rotation energy consumption process of the baffle 11, a buffer foam 111 is embedded at one end of the baffle 11 close to the steel pipe pile body 5, and the buffer foam 111 is arranged at the corner of the baffle 11, and the buffer foam 111 and the surface of the baffle 11 are in an integral structure.

[0024] As shown, Figure 1 As shown, the two baffles 11 are covered with an elastic skin 6, and the elastic skin 6 is arranged at one end of the two baffles 11; Specifically, when the two baffles 11 are opened, the elastic skin 6 will be stretched and elongated, and a gap will be formed between the two baffles 11. Due to the shielding of the elastic skin 6, the impact water flow cannot enter the impact of the steel pipe pile body 5 from the gap.

[0025] The above merely is preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and is not for limiting the present utility model, for the person skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various changes and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement etc. that is made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
