[0006] This utility model provides a universal joint, comprising:

[0007] The connector body has pin holes at both ends, and the axes of the pin holes at both ends of the connector body are perpendicular to each other;

[0008] The connector body has pins passing through the pin holes at both ends, and each end of the pin has a slot for engaging with the card plate.

[0009] Each of the pins is fitted with a thrust washer and a retaining plate, and there are two thrust washer and retaining plates on each pin, with the two thrust washer positioned between the two retaining plates; four bolts are screwed onto the retaining plates at intervals.

[0010] A fork lug is fitted on the pin at the front end of the connector body. The fork lug has an eye for fitting the pin. The fork lug is locked at the front end of the connector body. The inner surface of the fork lug contacts the front end of the connector body through a thrust pad. The outer surface of the fork lug contacts a retaining plate. The open retaining plate is locked in a retaining groove. The bolts on the two retaining plates tighten the fork lug against each other, so that the fork lug is on the pin.

[0011] The ear holes are fixedly connected by a cable.

[0012] Ear plates are fitted onto the pin at the rear end of the connector body. There are two ear plates that are relatively spaced apart. The inner surface of the ear plates contacts the rear end of the connector body through a thrust pad. The outer surface of the ear plates contacts a retaining plate. The bolts on the two retaining plates tighten the ear plates relative to each other, so that the two spaced ear plates are on the pin.

[0013] A reinforcing plate is fixed to the outer side of the ear plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the ear plate is fixedly connected to the adapter at the top of the tower, the cable is connected to the floating wind turbine foundation, and after the adapter is connected to the floating wind turbine foundation through the cable, the adapter can achieve rotational movement in two directions relative to the cable.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown.

[0020] A universal joint according to this application includes:

[0021] A connector body 1 has pin holes at both ends, and the axes of the pin holes at both ends of the connector body 1 are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 Based on this, the axis of the pin hole at the front end of the connector body 1 runs vertically through the connector, and the axis of the pin hole at the rear end of the connector body 1 runs horizontally through the connector.

[0022] Pins 2 pass through the pin holes at both ends of the connector body 1. Both ends of the pins 2 are provided with slots 21. The locking plate 3 is pushed outward by the bolt 31 and locked in the slot 21. At this time, the locking plate 3 in the slot 21 provides a force base for the bolt 31 to tighten the fork lug 51 or lug 4.

[0023] Each of the pins 2 is fitted with a thrust pad 22 and a retaining plate 3. There are two thrust pads 22 and two retaining plates 3 on each pin 2, with the two thrust pads 22 located between the two retaining plates 3. Four bolts 31 are screwed onto the retaining plate 3 at intervals.

[0024] A fork lug 51 is fitted onto the pin 2 at the front end of the connector body 1. The fork lug 51 has an eyelet 52 for engaging the pin 2. The fork lug 51 is engaged at the front end of the connector body 1. The inner surface of the fork lug 51 contacts the front end of the connector body 1 through a thrust pad 22. The outer surface of the fork lug 51 contacts a retaining plate 3. The open retaining plate 3 is engaged in a retaining groove 21. The bolts 31 on the two retaining plates 3 are tightened against each other to secure the fork lug 51, so that the fork lug 51 is positioned on the pin 2. A pull cable 53 is fixedly connected to the eyelet 52.

[0025] Ear plates 4 are fitted onto the pin 2 at the rear end of the connector body 1. There are two ear plates 4 that are relatively spaced apart. The inner surface of the ear plates 4 contacts the rear end of the connector body 1 through the thrust pad 22. The outer surface of the ear plates 4 contacts the retaining plate 3. The bolts 31 on the two retaining plates 3 tighten the ear plates 4 against each other, so that the two spaced ear plates 4 are on the pin 2. A reinforcing plate 41 is fixed to the outer side of the ear plates 4.

[0026] Ear plate 4 is fixedly connected to the adapter at the top of the tower, and cable 53 is connected to the floating wind turbine foundation. After the adapter is connected to the floating wind turbine foundation through the cable, the adapter can achieve rotational movement in two directions relative to the cable 53.
