Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of movable platform technology, specifically a movable platform device for a marine wind measurement tower. Background Technology

[0002] The movable platform of the offshore wind measurement tower provides a stable foundation support for the tower, enabling it to remain upright and stable in the marine environment. This ensures that the wind measurement equipment on the tower can accurately measure data such as wind speed and direction. The movable platform must bear the weight of the tower itself and the various wind measurement equipment and instruments installed on it, guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the structure. The movable platform can also be adjusted and moved according to different water depths, making it suitable for various water depth environments and improving the applicability and flexibility of the wind measurement tower. The movable platform can be towed or hoisted at sea, facilitating the transportation of the wind measurement tower to the target sea area for installation and deployment, reducing the difficulty and cost of offshore construction. Furthermore, the movable platform can be moved to other sea areas for continued use, realizing the reuse of the wind measurement tower, reducing infrastructure construction costs, and improving resource utilization.

[0003] Existing mobile foundations, after being transported to a designated sea surface location, are mostly supported by support columns that contact the seabed to provide stability. However, during the relocation of the mobile foundation, hoisting equipment is required to lift the support columns from the seabed, which is a challenging offshore hoisting operation and reduces the ease of moving the mobile foundation. To address these issues, we provide a mobile foundation device for offshore wind measurement towers. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] This utility model proposes a movable support platform device for an offshore wind measurement tower. Through the cooperation between the pipe pile, the water inlet pipe and the water pump, it solves the problem of lifting the support column from the seabed with the assistance of hoisting equipment. Offshore hoisting operations are difficult and reduce the convenience of moving the movable support platform.

[0006] (ii) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a movable support platform device for an offshore wind measurement tower, comprising a support platform body, a wind measurement tower body, and a pipe pile. The wind measurement tower body is installed above the support platform body. A movable hole is provided on the inner wall of the support platform body.

[0008] The outer surface of the pipe pile is connected to a water inlet pipe, one end of which is equipped with a valve. A water pump is installed inside the pipe pile, and the output end of the water pump is connected to a drain pipe, with the other end of the drain pipe located outside the pipe pile. A float is connected to the outer surface of the pipe pile body, and the float is located below the foundation. A locking mechanism is installed on the outside of the pipe pile.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a clamping block, the outer surface of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the foundation body, one side of which is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe pile, a screw threadedly connected to the inner wall of the foundation body, one end of which is located inside the foundation body and is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the clamping block, and a four-corner head connected to the other end of which is located outside the foundation body.

[0010] Furthermore, a support roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the foundation body, and the support roller is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe pile.

[0011] Furthermore, a support frame is installed on the inner wall of the pipe pile, and the inner wall of the support frame is connected to the outer surface of the water pump.

[0015] (iii) Beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the movable platform device of this offshore wind measurement tower has the following advantages:

[0017] I. The movable foundation device of this offshore wind measurement tower, through the cooperation of pipe piles, water inlet pipes and water pumps, utilizes the internal cavity of the pipe piles to accommodate water. After water is injected into the pipe piles, their weight increases. The weight of the pipe piles plus the water drives the buoy to move downwards, bringing the pipe piles into contact with the seabed and providing support to the foundation body. The water pump serves as the power source to discharge the water inside the pipe piles to the outside, reducing the weight of the pipe piles. The buoyancy of the buoys is used to detach the pipe piles from the seabed. This allows the pipe piles to detach from the seabed without the assistance of hoisting equipment, improving the convenience of transporting the movable foundation device of the offshore wind measurement tower.

[0018] Second, the movable support platform device of the offshore wind measurement tower, through the cooperation between the spherical seat, the support seat and the top point, the support seat increases the friction with the seabed through the top point, thereby improving the stability of the support seat. Through the support of the spherical seat, the support seat automatically adapts to the tilt angle of the seabed when in contact with the seabed, increasing the contact area between the support seat and the seabed, so that the support seat provides more stable support for the pipe pile, thereby improving the stability of the pipe pile.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a movable platform device for a marine wind measurement tower, including a platform body 1, a wind measurement tower body 2, and pipe piles 3. The wind measurement tower body 2 is installed above the platform body 1. A movable hole 4 is provided on the inner wall of the platform body 1. The outer surface of the pipe pile 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable hole 4. A hanging lug 9 is connected to one side of the platform body 1 for connecting with transport equipment to move the platform body 1. There are four movable holes 4, located at the four corners of the platform body 1. Correspondingly, there are also four pipe piles 3. A water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the outer surface of the pipe pile 3. A valve 6 is installed at one end of the water inlet pipe 5. A water pump 7 is installed inside the pipe pile 3. The output end of the water pump 7 is connected to a drain pipe 8. The other end of 8 is located outside the pipe pile 3. A float 10 is connected to the outer surface of the pipe pile 3 body, and the float 10 is located below the foundation. The float 10 is made of polyethylene material, which has good corrosion resistance and buoyancy. The float 10 provides buoyancy to the pipe pile 3. After the weight of the pipe pile 3 is reduced, the float 10 drives the pipe pile 3 to move upward. Water is injected into the pipe pile 3 through the water inlet pipe 5 to increase the weight of the pipe pile 3. After the pipe pile 3 has weight, it sinks downward. Water is injected into the pipe pile 3 through the water inlet pipe connected to the external water pumping equipment. When it is necessary to take the pipe pile 3 out of the seabed, the water pump 7 is used as the power source to pump out the water inside the pipe pile 3. The water inside the pipe pile 3 is discharged to the outside of the pipe pile 3 through the drain pipe 8 to reduce the weight of the pipe pile 3.

[0029] A locking mechanism 11 is provided on the outside of the pipe pile 3 to restrict the movement of the pipe pile 3 and maintain its stability. The locking mechanism 11 includes a clamping block 1101, the outer surface of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the foundation body 1, and one side of which is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe pile 3. A threaded rod 1102 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the foundation body 1. One end of the threaded rod 1102 located inside the foundation body 1 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the clamping block 1101, and a four-corner head 1103 is connected to the other end of the threaded rod 1102 located outside the foundation body 1. The screw 1102 generates a driving force through rotation, providing power for the movement of the clamping block 1101. The surface of the clamping block 1101 that contacts the pipe pile 3 is curved, which increases the contact area between the clamping block 1101 and the pipe pile 3. The contact between the clamping block 1101 and the pipe pile 3 provides resistance to the pipe pile 3 and restricts its movement. After the clamping block 1101 disengages from the pipe pile 3, it releases the fixation restriction on the pipe pile 3. The screw 1102 is easily accessible to a wrench or other tools through the four corner heads 1103, and the screw 1102 can be rotated by the wrench or other tools.

[0030] The inner wall of the foundation body 1 is rotatably connected to a support roller 12. The support roller 12 is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe pile 3. There are two sets of support rollers 12. The two sets of support rollers 12 form a wrap around the outside of the pipe pile 3. The support roller 12 has a rotation function. The pipe pile 3 is supported by the support roller 12, which facilitates the vertical movement of the pipe pile 3, reduces the friction between the pipe pile 3 and the foundation body 1 when the pipe pile 3 moves, and improves the convenience of the pipe pile 3 when moving.

[0031] A support frame 13 is installed on the inner wall of the pipe pile 3. The inner wall of the support frame 13 is connected to the outer surface of the water pump 7. The support frame 13 provides support for the water pump 7 and maintains the stability of the water pump 7.

[0032] The top of the pipe pile 3 is connected to a cap 14. The inner wall of the cap 14 is connected to the outer surface of the drainage pipe 8. The cap 14 seals the top opening of the pipe pile 3 to prevent debris from entering the pipe pile 3. At the same time, the cap 14 supports the drainage pipe 8 to maintain its stability.

[0033] A guardrail 15 is installed on the top of the pier body 1, and the guardrail 15 is located outside the wind measurement tower body 2. The guardrail 15 plays a protective role outside the pier body 1, improving the safety of construction workers.

[0034] The bottom end of the pipe pile 3 is connected to a spherical seat 16, and the outer surface of the spherical seat 16 is in contact with a support seat 17. Multiple tips 18 are connected to the bottom of the support seat 17, and the multiple tips 18 are arranged at equal distances. The support seat 17 has a spherical groove inside that is adapted to the spherical seat 16. When the support seat 17 is in contact with the seabed, the angle of the support seat 17 is adjusted by the support of the spherical seat 16. The support seat 17 adjusts its angle to adapt to the uneven seabed, increasing the contact area between the support seat 17 and the seabed, thereby improving the stability of the pipe pile 3. The support seat 17 penetrates into the seabed through the tips 18, increasing the friction between the support seat 17 and the seabed and improving the stability of the support seat 17.

[0035] Working principle: In use, first open valve 6, then inject water into the pipe pile 3 through the inlet pipe 5 via an external water injection device. After the pipe pile 3 is injected with water, its weight increases, and at the same time, the pipe pile 3 drives the float 10 to move downward. Then the pipe pile 3 sinks and contacts the seabed through the support seat 17. After the pipe pile 3 reaches the designated depth, the screw 1102 is rotated by a tool. After the screw 1102 rotates, it pushes the clamp 1101 to contact the pipe pile 3, restricting the movement of the pipe pile 3. When it is necessary to move the position of the foundation body 1, the screw 1102 is rotated in the opposite direction by a tool. After the screw 1102 rotates, it drives the clamp 1101 to disengage from the pipe pile 3, releasing the restriction on the pipe pile 3. Then the water pump 7 is started. After the water pump 7 starts, the water inside the pipe pile 3 is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 8. As the weight of the pipe pile 3 decreases, the buoyancy of the float 10 drives the pipe pile 3 to move upward. Finally, the foundation body 1 is transported to the new erection position by connecting the transport tool with the lug 9.
