Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of floating wind turbine technology, and more specifically to a floating wind turbine installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Unlike traditional fixed offshore wind turbines, "floating wind turbines" replace fixed foundations with floating foundations, allowing the turbine to "float" on the water. As wind energy, a green and renewable energy source, is increasingly being developed and utilized, the focus of the wind power industry is gradually shifting from onshore to offshore, with the vast deep sea holding enormous wind energy development potential. Offshore floating wind turbines are suitable for deep-water areas, fully utilizing offshore wind resources, and, more importantly, providing energy for the increasing number of offshore activities. Therefore, floating wind turbines have experienced rapid development. Existing floating wind turbines are typically installed on floating platforms on the water surface. These platforms are anchored to the seabed by ropes and cables for stability. However, if any of these cables break during use, the entire installation platform will sway uncontrollably. The stability of existing floating wind turbine installation structures needs improvement. Utility Model Content

The floating platform is fixed to the bottom of the water by ropes and steel cables to limit the position of the platform. However, if some steel cables break during use, the entire installation platform will sway. Therefore, the stability of the existing floating wind turbine installation structure needs to be improved.

A first tripod is connected to a fixed ring, and an anchoring cable is connected to the surface of the fixed ring. The surface of the anchoring cable is equipped with a tension sensor, and an anchoring cone is installed at the bottom of the anchoring cable. Several traction steel cables are wound around the surface of the first tripod, and the traction steel cables are wound around a second tripod. Each corner of the second tripod is fixedly equipped with an auxiliary fixing mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the second tripod matches the first tripod, and the end of the traction cable away from the first tripod is wound and connected to the surface of the second tripod.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the surface of the second tripod, and the rotating rod and the auger are both located at the bottom of the second tripod.

[0010] Preferably, the center of the pad is provided with several mounting grooves, a limiting telescopic rod is installed inside the mounting groove, an anti-vibration spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting telescopic rod, and the top of the anti-vibration spring is connected to the bottom of the fan mounting plate.

[0016] During use, the pad can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan mounting plate through the limiting telescopic rod and anti-vibration spring, thereby providing anti-vibration treatment for the vertical direction of the fan. The sleeve column mechanism is wrapped around the outside of the fan and clamps the fan's support column through the semi-circular frame. The arc-shaped inner rubber plate of the semi-circular frame and the micro spring can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan, improving the side vibration resistance of the fan. The entire installation structure has a good buffering effect on the fan, which enhances its vibration resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See Figure 1-6The middle part of the pad 4 is provided with several mounting grooves 24. The mounting grooves 24 are equipped with limiting telescopic rods 25. The outer side of the limiting telescopic rods 25 is fitted with anti-vibration springs 26. The top of the anti-vibration springs 26 is connected to the bottom of the fan mounting plate 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the pad 4 can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan mounting plate 2 through the limiting telescopic rod 25 and the anti-vibration spring 26. The sleeve mechanism 8 is wrapped around the outside of the fan and clamps the fan support column through the semi-circular frame 19. The arc-shaped inner rubber plate 30 of the semi-circular frame 19 and the micro spring 29 can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan.

[0031] In practical use, the floating fan installation structure of this invention includes a cylinder 32, a waterproof motor 33, and a tension sensor 36, all electrically connected to an external controller. During use, the bottom of the fan is mounted above the fan mounting base 5 and secured with bolts through the fixing holes 6.

The waterproof motor 33 will drive the rotating rod 34 and the spiral drilling plate 35 to rotate. With the cylinder 32 continuously pushing the spiral drilling plate 35 down, it can automatically drill and embed itself below the bottom of the water surface. Then, the auxiliary fixing mechanism 18 can anchor and stabilize the second tripod 12, enhancing the traction effect of the second tripod 12 on the first tripod 10 and the floating mounting platform 1. The entire installation mechanism is more stable and reliable. When the anchoring cable breaks, it can automatically anchor the bottom, avoiding the phenomenon of the entire installation structure shaking due to the breakage of the anchoring cable during use, and ensuring the stability of the entire wind turbine installation mechanism.

[0032] During use, the pad 4 can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan mounting plate 2 through the limiting telescopic rod 25 and the anti-vibration spring 26, thereby providing anti-vibration treatment for the vertical direction of the fan. The sleeve mechanism 8 is wrapped around the outside of the fan and clamps the fan support column through the semi-circular frame 19. The arc-shaped inner rubber plate 30 of the semi-circular frame 19 and the miniature spring 29 can buffer and dampen the bottom of the fan, improving the anti-vibration performance of the fan side. The entire installation structure has a good buffering effect on the fan and enhances the anti-vibration performance.
