[0025] Reference Figure 5In this embodiment, the float system 1 serves as the foundation for providing buoyancy to the platform. The float system 1 consists of floats 11 and crossbeams 12. The floats 11 are sealed cylindrical box structures. Multiple floats 11 are evenly distributed in an equilateral triangular array. Each float 11 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the truss 2. Adjacent floats 11 are welded and connected to each other using crossbeams 12, thereby forming a complete float system 1 from the individual floats 11, thus improving the stability of the overall structure.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 The top of the truss 2 is provided with a support platform 3, on which a functional cabin 31 is built. The center of the functional cabin 31 is provided with a stairwell 32 connecting to the upper support platform 4. The support platform 4 is provided with a hoist 41, a cabin door 42, a ground light 43 and a support platform guardrail 44.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 In this embodiment, the support platform 3 is a regular hexagonal structure, including a functional compartment 31, a stairwell 32, a support platform passageway 33, and a support platform guardrail 34.
[0028] The stairwell 32 is located at the center of the bearing platform 3, connecting the bearing platform 3 and the support platform 4. The stairwell 32 is a small regular hexagon with the same center as the bearing platform 3. The staircase can be a spiral staircase, an elevator structure, or a combination of staircase and elevator. If only an elevator structure is set in the stairwell, an emergency stairwell should be set in other locations on the platform.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bearing platform passageway 33 divides the plane of the bearing platform 3 into a wheel shape and divides it into 6 isosceles trapezoidal areas of the same size, each of which is equipped with a functional cabin 31; the bearing platform passageway 33 is designed at the projection position of the main beam of the truss 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, the functional compartments 31 are connected to the stairwell 32 via the platform passageway 33. The functional compartments 31 include at least personnel dormitories, a kitchen and food storage room, a toilet and shower room, a medical room, a freshwater filtration room, a robot repair room, a robot warehouse, a general storage warehouse, a power room, a central control room, and a monitoring and duty room. The functional compartments 31 are evenly distributed within the isosceles trapezoidal area divided by the building walls according to the principle of weight balance. The building walls used to divide the functional compartments 31 can be constructed using a steel structure with prefabricated wall panels. The size, number, location, and connectivity of each room in the functional compartments 31 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of the internal functional compartments 31, this platform can be quickly converted into platform types such as a duty platform, maintenance platform, or supply platform, and can be widely used for other purposes.
[0031] In this embodiment, the protective railing 34 of the bearing platform is located on the outermost side of the bearing platform 3, and is set along the outer edge of the regular hexagon. The height of the protective railing 34 of the bearing platform should be set to ensure personnel safety and comply with relevant national standards.

If the night lighting effect of the support platform 4 cannot meet the requirements, lighting facilities can be temporarily added to the support platform 4, but care should be taken to fix the lighting facilities when adding them.
[0034] In this embodiment, there is a lighting lamp in the vertical projection part of the bearing platform passage 33 below the support platform 4. The lighting lamp can be an embedded integrated lamp that can be embedded in the structure of the support platform 4; a support platform protective net 44 is provided on the edge of the support platform 4.

The wind speed and wind direction signals are transmitted to the control room in real time through the electrical control box and cables.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, a surge power generation system 7 is provided on the side of the truss 2. The surge power generation system 7 includes an irregularly shaped float, a transmission device, a data acquisition device, and a generator. The irregularly shaped float is hinged to the end of the transmission device, the head of the transmission device is connected to the data acquisition device, and the data acquisition device is connected to the generator.
