[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cable climbing frame assembly in an exemplary embodiment of the cable climbing frame structure for offshore photovoltaic systems disclosed herein. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The top view of the cable climbing frame assembly shown.

[0041] The cable climbing frame structure for offshore photovoltaic systems includes a cable climbing frame assembly, which comprises a climbing rod 1, a connecting rod 2, and multiple clamps 3. The climbing rod 1 extends vertically. The first end of the connecting rod 2 is fixed to the side surface of the climbing rod 1, and the extension direction of the connecting rod 2 intersects with the extension direction of the climbing rod 1. The clamps 3 are fixed to the second end of the connecting rod 2, and at least some of the clamps 3 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the climbing rod 1. The clamps 3 include a ring structure for accommodating the passage of cables.

[0042] In the cable climbing frame structure for offshore photovoltaic systems provided in this exemplary embodiment, the cable climbing frame assembly can fix the cable using multiple clamps 3 spaced apart along the extension direction of the climbing pole 1. This cable climbing frame assembly can fix the cable to improve the stability of the cable.

[0043] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, multiple clamps 3 form multiple clamp groups 03, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the climbing pole 1. Each clamp group 03 includes multiple clamps 3, which are fixed to the same position on the climbing pole 1 in its extension direction, and are spaced apart circumferentially on the climbing pole 1. The clamps 3 in each clamp group 03 can secure multiple cables. Figure 1-2 As shown, the clamp group 03 may include four clamps 3. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the clamp group 03 may also include other numbers of clamps 3, for example, the clamp group 03 may include 3 or 2 clamps 3.

[0044] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the clamps 3, which are at least partially spaced apart in the extension direction of the climbing pole 1, can be located on the same straight line, which facilitates the cable passing through the clamps 3.

[0045] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, multiple clamps 3 in the same clamp group 03 are evenly spaced, and the distance between the multiple clamps 3 in the same clamp group 03 and the climbing pole 1 is the same. On the one hand, this arrangement ensures that adjacent clamps 3 have a suitable distance from each other, and that adjacent clamps 3 will not interfere with each other due to excessive distance; on the other hand, this arrangement ensures that the force exerted by the cables within the multiple clamps 3 in the same clamp group 03 on the climbing pole 1 is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the climbing pole, thereby improving the stability of the cable climbing frame assembly.

[0046] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the clamp assembly 03 includes multiple pairs of clamps 3. In a pair of clamps 3, the two clamps 3 are arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the climbing pole 1. The symmetrical clamps can make the force exerted by the cable inside the clamp 3 on both sides of the climbing pole balanced, thereby reducing the risk of the climbing pole tilting.

[0047] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2As shown, the clamp 3 includes a detachably connected first substructure 31 and a second substructure 32. The first substructure 31 includes a first arc-shaped portion 311 and two first flat portions 312, with the two first flat portions 312 connected to opposite sides of the first arc-shaped portion 311. The second substructure 32 includes a second arc-shaped portion 321 and two second flat portions 322, with the two second flat portions 322 connected to opposite sides of the second arc-shaped portion 321. The first arc-shaped portion 311 and the second arc-shaped portion 321 are joined to form a ring structure. One first flat portion 312 and one second flat portion 322 are arranged opposite each other, and another first flat portion 312 and another second flat portion 322 are arranged opposite each other. The two pairs of oppositely arranged first flat portions 312 and second flat portions 322 are detachably connected. In this exemplary embodiment, the size of the ring structure can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first substructure 31 and the second substructure 32, thereby facilitating cable installation and removal. For example, the first plate portion 312 and the second plate portion 322 can be connected by bolts. When it is necessary to disassemble the cable, the first plate portion 312 and the second plate portion 322 can be separated or the distance between the first plate portion 312 and the second plate portion 322 can be increased by bolts. When it is necessary to fix the cable, the first plate portion 312 and the second plate portion 322 can be fixed or the distance between the first plate portion 312 and the second plate portion 322 can be decreased by bolts.

[0048] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, multiple clamp groups 03 are evenly distributed along the extension direction of the climbing pole 1. The evenly distributed clamp groups 03 can stably fix the cable at various positions.

[0049] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the extension length of the climbing pole 1 is S1, and the distance between two adjacent clamp groups 03 is S2. S2 / S1 is greater than or equal to 1 / 5 and less than or equal to 1 / 2. For example, S2 / S1 can be equal to 1 / 5, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2, etc. If S2 / S1 is too large, and S2 is too large, the distance between adjacent clamps 3 fixing the same cable will be too large, resulting in poor cable fixing effect. If S2 / S1 is too large, and S2 is too small, the distance between adjacent clamps 3 fixing the same cable will be too small, making cable installation and removal more cumbersome. This exemplary embodiment sets S2 / S1 to a suitable size, which can ensure the cable fixing effect while also improving the efficiency of cable installation and removal.

[0050] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, climbing pole 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure has a large circumferential surface, which facilitates the distribution of multiple clamps in clamp assembly 03 along the circumferential surface of the cylindrical structure.

[0051] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2As shown, the cable climbing frame assembly also includes a flange 4, through which the climbing rod 1 passes and is fixed to the top of the climbing rod 1. The flange 4 is used to fix the target structure. That is, the cable climbing frame assembly can be fixed to the target structure through the flange 4.

[0052] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the ratio of the extension length of connecting rod 2 to the extension length of climbing rod 1 is 1 / 40 to 1 / 10. For example, the ratio can be 1 / 40, 1 / 35, 1 / 30, 1 / 25, 1 / 20, 1 / 15, or 1 / 10. If the ratio is too large, the extension length of connecting rod 2 is too large, and climbing rod 1 is prone to tilting; if the ratio is too small, the extension length of connecting rod 2 is too small, and the distance between clamps 3 is too small, making them prone to interference. This exemplary embodiment sets the ratio of the extension length of connecting rod 2 to the extension length of climbing rod 1 to a suitable value, which facilitates the installation of clamps 3 and reduces the risk of climbing rod 1 tilting.

[0053] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another exemplary embodiment of the cable climbing frame structure for offshore photovoltaic systems disclosed herein. The cable climbing frame assembly further includes a fixing base 5, which is fixed to the bottom of the climbing pole 1. The fixing base 5 can fix the cable climbing frame assembly to the target structure.

[0054] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the claims.

[0055] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is defined only by the appended claims.
