Description

A cross-sea floating bridge and its standardized modular intelligent control system Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of floating bridges and maritime transportation technology, and in particular to a cross-sea floating bridge and its standardized modular intelligent control system. Background Technology

[0002] Cross-sea transportation is a crucial issue in global infrastructure development. Current fixed-pier bridges for cross-sea transportation are costly, have long construction cycles, and pose safety hazards in extreme sea conditions. Floating bridges are one solution for cross-sea transportation; however, existing floating bridge technology struggles to meet the demands of large-scale cross-sea transportation. The modularity of floating bridge construction and the level of intelligent control result in low durability and high maintenance costs. Through modular design and intelligent control technology, intelligent control of the levitation of cross-sea floating bridges can be implemented, along with intelligent configuration management for their expanded applications. This ensures efficient transportation, safe power generation, and rapid economic benefits, promoting new models for island building and land creation through cross-sea floating bridge transportation and power generation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cross-sea floating bridge and its standardized modular intelligent control system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a cross-sea floating bridge and its standardized modular intelligent control system. By proposing the structural composition of the cross-sea floating bridge and configuring its modular components, the system controls the navigation function, implements intelligent control of the bridge's suspension, implements intelligent control of the power generation function, and implements intelligent configuration management for the bridge's extended applications. This enables modular intelligent control of the cross-sea floating bridge, providing strong support for its stable functioning.

[0005] This invention provides a cross-sea floating bridge, comprising: several bridge body modules, inverted U-shaped buoy boxes, partitioned water tanks, spare buoyancy bodies, suspended anchor hammers, sealed air guide pipes, guide pipe power generation modules, and breakwater power generation modules; the bridge body modules include railway bridge deck modules, highway bridge deck modules, and living platform bridge deck modules;

[0006] The bridge module is a heavy-duty flat-bottomed boat structure; inverted U-shaped buoys and partitioned water tanks are configured inside the bridge module to support the railway bridge deck module, highway bridge deck module and living platform bridge deck module;

[0007] The water-separated compartments are configured within the bridge modules to levitate the railway bridge deck modules, highway bridge deck modules, and living platform bridge deck modules;

[0008] The backup buoyancy body is located inside the compartmentalized water tank to provide backup buoyancy equivalent to twice the load of the railway bridge deck module, highway bridge deck module, or living platform bridge deck module;

[0009] The suspended anchor hammer is configured to be suspended simultaneously at the bottom of the bridge module and the bottom of the breakwater power generation module;

[0010] Both the sealed air duct and the duct power generation module are located at the bottom of the bridge module and extend through both sides of the bridge module.

[0011] The breakwater power generation module is configured at the bottom of the bridge module, running through both the left and right sides, and is connected to the bridge module through a U-shaped groove; both the breakwater power generation module and the bridge module are connected to the suspended anchor hammer through the groove guide rail of the suspended anchor hammer.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes pumped-storage tanks, land approach bridges, and auxiliary functional vessels; the pumped-storage tanks are configured under the bridge deck modules of the living platform, used for pumping and storing energy at night and for releasing water to generate electricity during the day; the land approach bridges are connected to the cross-sea floating bridge;

[0013] The attached functional vessels include a garbage collection vessel around the floating bridge, a cruise ship around the floating bridge, and an automated transfer bus. The garbage collection vessel around the floating bridge is used to collect garbage and oil pollution on the surface of the floating bridge and transport it to the shore for harmless treatment. The cruise ship around the floating bridge is used for people to ride around the floating bridge for sightseeing. The automated transfer bus is located on one side of the bridge deck module of the living platform and travels back and forth along the total length of the floating bridge in the designated waterway by means of guide rails, realizing the function of public transportation.

[0014] A standardized, modular intelligent control system, applied to a cross-sea floating bridge, includes:

[0015] The navigation function control unit is used to control the navigation function of the cross-sea floating bridge based on the configured modular components;

[0016] The bridge control unit is used to intelligently control the suspension of the floating bridge across the sea based on modular components.

[0017] A power generation control unit is used to implement intelligent control of the power generation function of a cross-sea floating bridge based on modular components;

[0018] The configuration management unit is used to implement intelligent configuration management for the extended applications of cross-sea floating bridges based on modular components.

[0019] Furthermore, the general aviation function control unit includes a modular component configuration subunit and a general aviation function control subunit;

[0020] The modular component configuration subunit is used to configure the modular components of the cross-sea floating bridge and set the structural connection parameters between the modular components; the modular components include an intelligent control platform, a network connection component, and a structural connection component; the intelligent control platform is used to combine the network connection component and the structural connection component to implement modular intelligent control of the cross-sea floating bridge;

[0021] The navigation function control subunit is used to realize the navigation function of the cross-sea floating bridge based on modular components; the navigation function includes open-gate navigation, land approach bridge navigation, and direct navigation on both sides of the approach bridge;

[0022] Open-gate navigation involves disassembling multiple bridge modules and opening multiple waterways within the waters of the floating bridge for vessel passage; then reassembling the disassembled bridge modules to restore the bridge function of the floating bridge.

[0023] The navigation of the land approach bridge is as follows: the land approach bridge is constructed based on multiple bridge modules. By disassembling the multiple bridge modules, a waterway is opened for small vessels to navigate freely. Then, the disassembled multiple bridge modules are recombined to restore the bridge function of the land approach bridge.

[0024] Direct navigation on both sides of the approach bridge: On both sides of the land approach bridge, a waterway from the cross-sea floating bridge to the shore will be opened for small vessels to navigate freely.

[0025] Furthermore, the bridge control unit includes a cross-sea floating bridge equipment data acquisition subunit, a bridge balance force data acquisition subunit, and a bridge control implementation subunit;

[0026] The data acquisition subunit for the cross-sea floating bridge equipment is used to acquire basic data of the modular components of the cross-sea floating bridge. The basic data includes the unique code of the functional equipment to which the modular component belongs, as well as a traceable historical record database and real-time status data. The unique code of the functional equipment is configured by the intelligent control platform.

[0027] The bridge balance force data acquisition subunit is used to collect sensor data using sensing devices configured on the floating bridge. Based on the basic data and sensor data, it uses a set AI intelligent computing model to calculate the balance force data of the floating bridge. The sensor data includes water level, wind and wave, and tidal change data of the water area where the floating bridge is located, as well as load change data on the floating bridge. The balance force data includes buoyancy, gravity, the force of connected equipment, and external impact force data.

[0028] The bridge control implementation subunit is used to implement intelligent control of the suspension of the cross-sea floating bridge based on the balance force data and the set balance force adjustment standard.

[0029] Furthermore, based on the balance force data and the established balance force adjustment standards, intelligent control of the suspension of the cross-sea floating bridge is implemented, including:

[0030] Using a processor, the balance force data is compared and analyzed with the set balance force adjustment standard to obtain the difference between the balance force data and the balance force data to be adjusted; based on the set difference and the corresponding matching relationship library of balance force adjustment strategies, the corresponding matching balance force adjustment strategy is obtained.

[0031] Based on the balance force adjustment strategy, intelligent adjustment of the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is implemented; specifically:

[0032] Based on the adjustment strategy of module disassembly, the weight of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to achieve the adjustment of the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge, so as to ensure the stable suspension of the cross-sea floating bridge.

[0033] By employing a strategy of activating a backup buoyancy body and controlling the suspended anchor hammer to offset the load, the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating.

[0034] By employing an intelligent control and adjustment strategy for the water tank siphon equipment and the sealed air guide pipe equipment, the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the adjustment strategy of activating the backup buoyancy body and controlling the suspended anchor hammer to offset the load, the balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge is achieved to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating, including:

[0036] The balance force adjustment and control is based on the equipped spare buoyancy body and tension line, specifically as follows:

[0037] Activate the backup buoyancy body and the tension line configured on the backup buoyancy body; the tension line is used to limit the height of the backup buoyancy body;

[0038] When the road load on the floating bridge presses down on the inverted U-shaped pontoon, the spare buoyancy body is controlled to rise by tension lines to support the downward pressure of the road load and prevent the bridge deck from falling. When the road load on the floating bridge leaves the floating bridge, the spare buoyancy body is controlled to return to its original position by tension lines and no longer provides upward buoyancy, so that the bridge deck does not rise.

[0039] Based on the control of the configured suspended anchor hammer, the load is offset to achieve the adjustment and control of the balancing force; specifically:

[0040] The floating anchor hammer is activated, and the control of the floating anchor hammer is achieved by using the grooved guide rail pulley connected to the floating anchor hammer; the total weight of the floating anchor hammer is equal to the load limit of the cross-sea floating bridge.

[0041] When a load enters the floating bridge, the weight of the load is obtained based on the configured gravity sensor. According to the load weight, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lower the floating anchor hammer, thereby loosening the chain of the floating anchor hammer and transferring the weight of the anchor hammer, which is equivalent to the load, to the breakwater, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not decrease due to the increase in load. When the load leaves the floating bridge, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lift the floating anchor hammer, thereby tightening the chain of the floating anchor hammer and returning the weight of the floating anchor hammer to the floating bridge, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not increase due to the decrease in load.

[0042] Furthermore, based on the intelligent control and adjustment strategy of the water tank siphon equipment and the sealed air guide pipe equipment, the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes, including:

[0043] When the tide recedes, the volume of air in the sealed air ducts on the floating bridge is adjusted to increase or decrease buoyancy, thereby increasing the weight of the floating bridge due to the addition of water to the water tanks, compensating for the decrease in water height caused by the receding tide, and ensuring that the draft of the bridge modules remains unchanged and the bridge deck height remains constant.

[0044] At normal sea level, open water flows through sealed air guide pipes to stabilize the draft of the bridge modules, maintain the buoyancy and gravity balance of the cross-sea floating bridge, and keep the bridge deck height constant.

[0045] During high tide, the siphon devices installed in the partitioned water tanks are activated. Through the operation of the siphon devices, the partitioned water tanks in the cross-sea floating bridge are interconnected, and the water volume in the bridge module water tanks is discharged, causing the bridge deck module to descend. This offsets the water height caused by the high tide and adjusts the weight of the suspended anchor hammer of the breakwater power generation module to be transferred to the bridge module, offsetting the weight reduction of the water tanks and maintaining the constant draft of the bridge module and the constant height of the bridge deck.

[0046] Furthermore, the power generation control unit includes a guide tube turbine power generation control subunit, a breakwater piston-rotor hydraulic turbine power generation control subunit, and a water tank pumping energy storage power generation control subunit;

[0047] The turbine generator control subunit is used to control the water flow velocity in the sealed air guide tube by controlling the pump to pump water, based on the water pump configured at the inlet of the sealed air guide tube on the turbine generator module and the turbine generator configured in the sealed air guide tube, so as to realize the turbine generator generating electricity.

[0048] The breakwater piston-to-hydraulic turbine power generation control subunit is used to generate electricity based on the multi-layer buoyancy plates, piston equipment, and energy storage device configured on the breakwater power generation module, in conjunction with the configured hydraulic turbine generator; specifically, the piston equipment and energy storage device are configured to store the energy generated by the operation of the piston equipment in the energy storage device, and the energy storage device is used to supply the hydraulic turbine generator, and the hydraulic turbine generator generates wave energy by absorbing the undulation of the buoyancy plate through the floating disk connected to the hydraulic turbine generator.

[0049] The water tank pumping energy storage and power generation control subunit is used to perform pumping energy storage and power generation based on the water tank pumping energy storage device configured under the bridge deck module of the living platform. Specifically, during off-peak hours of the external public power grid, the water tank pumping energy storage device is driven by electricity to pump seawater into the water tank located inside the bridge module to raise the water level difference and complete the energy storage process. During peak hours of the external public power grid, the water flow is controlled to flow back from the high-level water tank to the low-level water tank to drive the turbine generator to generate electricity, release the stored energy, and supply power to the external public power grid.

[0050] Furthermore, the configuration management unit includes:

[0051] Based on a configured intelligent control platform, network connectivity components, and structural connection components, intelligent management is implemented for personnel and equipment on the cross-sea floating bridge, specifically as follows:

[0052] Based on blockchain technology, the system enables identification, real-time location tracking, and security monitoring of personnel boarding the cross-sea floating bridge, ensuring data authenticity, traceability, and tamper-proof protection while safeguarding personal privacy.

[0053] Based on big data and artificial intelligence equipment, unique coding management, real-time location tracking, and intelligent maintenance are implemented for the equipment of the cross-sea floating bridge, improving equipment operation efficiency and safety.

[0054] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By proposing a structural composition for a cross-sea floating bridge and configuring modular components for the bridge; based on these modular components, the navigation function of the cross-sea floating bridge is controlled, the bridge body suspension is intelligently controlled, the power generation function is intelligently controlled, and the extended applications of the bridge are intelligently configured and managed. This enables modular intelligent control of the cross-sea floating bridge, allowing heavy-duty trains to pass through it, enabling multi-channel passage with open access, enabling rapid economic benefits from power generation, and enabling island building in the ocean using the cross-sea floating bridge model, thus providing strong support for the stable operation of the cross-sea floating bridge.

The basic data includes the unique code of the functional equipment to which the modular component belongs, as well as a traceable historical record database and real-time status data. The unique code of the functional equipment is configured by the intelligent control platform. The bridge balance force data acquisition subunit is used to collect and acquire sensor data using the sensing devices configured on the cross-sea floating bridge. Based on the basic data and the sensor data, the balance force data of the cross-sea floating bridge is calculated using a set AI intelligent calculation model. Among them, the sensor data includes water level, wind and wave, and tidal change data of the water area where the cross-sea floating bridge is located, as well as load change data on the cross-sea floating bridge. The balance force data includes buoyancy, gravity, the force of connected equipment, and external impact force data. The bridge control implementation subunit is used to implement intelligent control of the suspension of the cross-sea floating bridge based on the balance force data and the set balance force adjustment standard.

[0123] By employing a strategy of activating a backup buoyancy body and controlling the suspended anchor hammer to offset the load, the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating.

[0124] By employing an intelligent control and adjustment strategy for the water tank siphon equipment and the sealed air guide pipe equipment, the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge is adjusted to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes.

[0127] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by adopting the solution provided in this embodiment, and by implementing intelligent control of the suspension of the bridge body of the cross-sea floating bridge based on the balance force data, it can be ensured that the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge meets the balance force adjustment standard.

[0128] In one embodiment, the balancing force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge is achieved according to the adjustment strategy of activating the backup buoyancy body and controlling the suspended anchor to offset the load, so as to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating, including:

[0129] The balance force adjustment and control is based on the equipped spare buoyancy body and tension line, specifically as follows:

[0130] Activate the backup buoyancy body and the tension line configured on the backup buoyancy body; the tension line is used to limit the height of the backup buoyancy body;

[0131] When the road load on the floating bridge presses down on the inverted U-shaped pontoon, the spare buoyancy body is controlled to rise by tension lines to support the downward pressure of the road load and prevent the bridge deck from falling. When the road load on the floating bridge leaves the floating bridge, the spare buoyancy body is controlled to return to its original position by tension lines and no longer provides upward buoyancy, so that the bridge deck does not rise.

[0132] Based on the control of the configured suspended anchor hammer, the load is offset to achieve the adjustment and control of the balancing force; as shown in Figure 3, the suspended anchor hammer, anchor hammer chain, load vehicle A, floating bridge module AB, floating bridge module BC, and breakwater power generation module C are specifically as follows:

[0133] The floating anchor hammer is activated, and the control of the floating anchor hammer is achieved by using the grooved guide rail pulley connected to the floating anchor hammer; the total weight of the floating anchor hammer is equal to the load limit of the cross-sea floating bridge.

[0134] When vehicle A enters the floating bridge, the weight of the load is obtained based on the configured gravity sensor. According to the weight of vehicle A, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lower the suspension anchor hammer, thereby loosening the suspension anchor hammer's chain and transferring the weight of the suspension anchor hammer to the breakwater power generation module C, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not decrease due to the increase in load. When vehicle A leaves the floating bridge, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lift the suspension anchor hammer, thereby tightening the suspension anchor hammer's chain and returning the weight of the suspension anchor hammer to the floating bridge, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not increase due to the decrease in load.

[0135] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: In order to achieve the adjustment strategy of activating the backup buoyancy body and controlling the anchor hammer to offset the load, and to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating, the present invention first performs balance force adjustment control based on the equipped backup buoyancy body and tension line. Specifically, the backup buoyancy body is activated, and tension line is configured on the backup buoyancy body; the tension line is used to limit the height of the backup buoyancy body; when the road load borne by the cross-sea floating bridge presses down on the inverted U-shaped buoy, the backup buoyancy body is controlled to float up through the tension line to support the downward pressure of the road load, so that the bridge deck does not drop; when the road load borne by the cross-sea floating bridge leaves the cross-sea floating bridge, the backup buoyancy body is controlled to reset through the tension line, and no longer provides buoyancy upward, so that the bridge deck does not rise.

[0136] To achieve control of the configured floating anchor hammer, a load-counteracting method is adopted to adjust and control the balancing force. This invention first activates the floating anchor hammer, then uses a grooved guide rail pulley connected to it to control it. The total weight of the floating anchor hammer is equal to the load limit of the floating bridge. When load vehicle A enters the floating bridge, the load weight is obtained based on the configured gravity sensor. According to the weight of load vehicle A, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lower the floating anchor hammer, loosening its chain and transferring its weight to the breakwater power generation module C, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not decrease due to increased load. When load vehicle A leaves the floating bridge, the grooved guide rail pulley is controlled to lift the floating anchor hammer, tightening its chain and returning its weight to the floating bridge, ensuring that the height of the floating bridge does not increase due to decreased load.

[0137] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by using the solution provided in this embodiment, the balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge can be achieved by activating the backup buoyancy body and controlling the anchor hammer to offset the load, which can ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge can withstand the load without undulating.

[0138] In one embodiment, a regulation strategy for intelligently controlling the water tank siphon equipment and the sealed air duct equipment is used to adjust the balancing force of the cross-sea floating bridge to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes, including:

[0139] When the tide recedes, the volume of air in the sealed air ducts on the floating bridge is adjusted to increase or decrease buoyancy, thereby increasing the weight of the floating bridge due to the addition of water to the water tanks, compensating for the decrease in water height caused by the receding tide, and ensuring that the draft of the bridge modules remains unchanged and the bridge deck height remains constant.

[0140] At normal sea level, open water flows through sealed air guide pipes to stabilize the draft of the bridge modules, maintain the buoyancy and gravity balance of the cross-sea floating bridge, and keep the bridge deck height constant.

[0141] During high tide, the siphon devices installed in the partition water tanks are activated. Through the operation of the siphon devices, the partition water tanks in the cross-sea floating bridge are interconnected, the water volume in the bridge module water tanks is discharged, the bridge deck module is lowered, and the water volume height brought by the high tide is offset. The weight of the floating anchor hammer of the breakwater power generation module is adjusted and transferred to the bridge module to offset the weight reduction of the water tanks, so as to keep the draft of the bridge module constant and the bridge deck height constant.

[0142] This also includes: calculating the impact force of water flow on the cross-sea floating bridge based on sensor data collected by sensor devices; wherein the formula for calculating the impact force is:

[0143] ;

[0144] in, It is the impact force of the water flow on the pontoon bridge. It is the density of water. It is the water surface area facing the current of the cross-sea floating bridge. It is the water flow speed. This is the drag coefficient of the pontoon bridge; the above formula shows that as the square of the water flow velocity increases, the impact force also increases significantly, and the larger the pontoon bridge's water-entry area, the greater the impact force it receives.

[0145] Based on the impact force data under different sea conditions such as water level, wind waves, and tides, a neural network model is used to analyze the influence of impact force on the adjustment of balance force, and the analysis results of the influence of impact force on the adjustment of balance force are obtained.

[0146] Based on the analysis results, the simulation model of the balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge was used to simulate the fine adjustment of the balance force, and the simulation results of the fine adjustment of the balance force were obtained.

[0147] Based on the simulation results of the balance force fine adjustment, and based on the constructed objective function, the balance force adjustment workload of different balance force adjustment strategies is calculated in reverse.

[0148] Based on the workload of balancing force adjustment, and on the basis of intelligent balancing force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge, fine-tuning of the balancing force of the cross-sea floating bridge is carried out to address the issue of insufficient adjustment accuracy caused by seawater impact force.

[0149] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: In order to achieve the adjustment strategy of intelligent control of the water tank siphon device and the sealed air guide pipe device, and to achieve the balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge, so as to ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes, this invention proposes: when the sea tide recedes, the buoyancy of the air volume in the sealed air guide pipe configured on the cross-sea floating bridge is increased or decreased, so as to increase the weight of the cross-sea floating bridge caused by the addition of water to the water tank, compensate for the decrease in water height caused by the receding tide, and ensure that the draft of the bridge module remains unchanged and the bridge deck height remains constant.

[0150] At normal sea level, open water flows through sealed air guide pipes to stabilize the draft of the bridge modules, maintain the buoyancy and gravity balance of the cross-sea floating bridge, and keep the bridge deck height constant.

[0151] During high tide, the siphon devices installed in the partition water tanks are activated. Through the operation of the siphon devices, the partition water tanks in the cross-sea floating bridge are interconnected, the water volume in the bridge module water tanks is discharged, the bridge deck module is lowered, and the water volume height brought by the high tide is offset. The weight of the floating anchor hammer of the breakwater power generation module is adjusted and transferred to the bridge module to offset the weight reduction of the water tanks, so as to keep the draft of the bridge module constant and the bridge deck height constant.

[0152] Based on the sensor data collected by the sensing equipment, the impact force of the water flow on the cross-sea floating bridge is calculated. As the square of the water flow velocity increases, the impact force also increases significantly; the larger the water-contact area of ​​the floating bridge, the greater the impact force. Based on the impact force data under different sea conditions such as water level, wind, waves, and tides, a neural network model is used to analyze the influence of the impact force on the balance force adjustment, obtaining the analysis results. Based on the analysis results, a simulation model of the cross-sea floating bridge's balance force adjustment is used to simulate the fine-tuning of the balance force, obtaining the simulation results. Based on the simulation results of the fine-tuning of the balance force, and based on the constructed objective function, the workload of balance force adjustment using different strategies is calculated. Based on the workload of balance force adjustment, and on the basis of intelligent balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge, fine-tuning of the balance force is performed to address the insufficient precision of adjustment caused by seawater impact force.

[0153] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By adopting the solution provided in this embodiment, the balance force adjustment of the cross-sea floating bridge can be achieved by using an intelligent control adjustment strategy for the water tank siphon device and the sealed air guide pipe device, which can ensure that the cross-sea floating bridge maintains a constant height during tidal changes; by calculating the impact force of the water flow on the cross-sea floating bridge, the workload of fine adjustment of the balance force of the cross-sea floating bridge can be obtained, which can improve the accuracy of adjustment in the case of insufficient adjustment caused by the impact force of seawater.

Specifically, during off-peak hours of the external public power grid, the water tank pumping energy storage device is driven by electricity to pump seawater into the water tank located inside the bridge module to raise the water level difference and complete the energy storage process. During peak hours of the external public power grid, the water flow is controlled to flow back from the high-level water tank to the low-level water tank to drive the turbine generator to generate electricity, release the stored energy, and supply power to the external public power grid.

[0158] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: In order to realize the power generation of the cross-sea floating bridge, this invention proposes a power generation control subunit for the guide tube turbine unit. This subunit is used to control the water flow velocity within the sealed air guide tube, which is equipped with a pump at the inlet of the sealed air guide tube on the guide tube power generation module, and a turbine generator within the sealed air guide tube.

[0161] Power generation is achieved through a multi-layered buoyancy plate, piston device, and energy storage unit configured on the breakwater, combined with a hydraulic turbine generator. Specifically, the piston device and energy storage unit store the energy generated by the piston device in the storage unit. This energy is then supplied to the hydraulic turbine generator, which in turn generates wave energy by absorbing the undulations of the buoyancy plates through a floating disk connected to the generator. As shown in Figure 5, ① represents the central hydraulic energy storage tank of the breakwater power generation module, ② represents the turbine generator, and ③ represents the piston of the three-layered buoyancy plate.

The central area of ​​the breakwater power generation module is 6 meters long and 6 meters wide, and a central energy storage tank is set up to collect the energy of the piston system to supply 8 hydraulic turbine generators. The turbines of the hydraulic turbine generators have a turbine diameter of 1.2 meters. The 8 hydraulic turbine generators are connected to 8 floating disks through 8 robotic arms to absorb the undulations of the surrounding buoyancy plates and generate wave energy to generate electricity.

[0162] A water tank pumping energy storage and power generation control subunit is also proposed, which is used to carry out pumping energy storage and power generation based on the water tank pumping energy storage device configured under the bridge deck module of the living platform. Specifically, when the external public power grid is in a low-off-peak period, the water tank pumping energy storage device is driven by electricity to pump seawater into the water tank located inside the bridge module to raise the water level difference and complete the energy storage process. When the external public power grid is in a high-peak period, the water flow is controlled to flow back from the high-level water tank to the low-level water tank to drive the turbine generator to generate electricity, release the stored energy, and supply electricity to the external public power grid.
