Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
An offshore wind power anti-scour arrangement with an energy grid according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-6, comprising a pile foundation 1 and a sleeve 2.
The pile foundation 1 comprises a first part 11 and a second part 12 connected to each other in its axial direction (up and down as shown in fig. 1), the second part 12 being buried in the seabed, the seabed having a seabed surface, the first part 11 being located above the seabed surface. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the conventional pile foundations 1 are all hollow cylindrical structures.
The sleeve 2 is sleeved on the first part 11, the bottom of the sleeve is supported on the surface of the sea bed, the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 is provided with an energy dissipation net 3 protruding outwards, the energy dissipation net 3 is a net-shaped structure covering at least one part of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2, the outer diameter of the sleeve 2 is De, and the area of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 covered by the energy dissipation net 3 is larger than or equal to 1.0 pi D2. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1-2, the sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the first part 11, the lower end surface of the sleeve is arranged above the sea bed surface, the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 is provided with an energy dissipation net 3 extending outwards along the radial direction of the sleeve, the outer diameter of the sleeve 2 is any value from 5m to 8m, and the area of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 covered by the energy dissipation net 3 is greater than or equal to 1.0 pi De2,The circumferential length of the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2 covered by the energy dissipating mesh 3 is not less than 2De +2 pi De, for example: when De is 6m, the area of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 covered with the energy dissipating mesh 3 is 36 pi, and the circumferential length of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 covered with the energy dissipating mesh 3 is 12+12 pi.
According to the offshore wind power anti-scour device 100 with the energy dissipation net provided by the embodiment of the invention, the energy dissipation net 3 protruding outwards is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2, and the energy dissipation net 3 is of a net-shaped structure covering at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2. Therefore, when the tide contacts the energy dissipation net 3, the protruded energy dissipation net 3 can 'break up' the tide, the flow speed and the direction of the tide are locally changed, the energy of the tide can be dissipated to a certain degree, the stopping resistance of the pile foundation 1 to the tide is reduced, and a large horseshoe-shaped vortex cannot be generated in front of the pile foundation 1, so that the formation of the horseshoe-shaped vortex is restrained from the source, and the service life of the pile foundation 1 is prolonged. That is, the arrangement of the protruding energy dissipation net 3 achieves the effects of energy dissipation and impact reduction, inhibits the formation of horseshoe vortices near the pile foundation 1, effectively protects the soil around the pile foundation 1, and avoids the formation of scoured pits.
In some embodiments, the dissipater mesh 3 is annular and is disposed around the sleeve 2. Therefore, the energy dissipation net 3 is annularly surrounded on the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2, so that the energy dissipation net 3 can play a role in reducing impact on tide in any direction, and the energy dissipation net 3 is more reasonable in arrangement.
In some embodiments the energy dissipater 3 is formed by intersecting first 31 and second 32 helical dissipater strips helically wound around the sleeve 2, or the energy dissipater 3 is formed by intersecting a plurality of first 33 and second 34 parallel to each other, the first dissipater strips 33 being annular in shape arranged around the sleeve 2.
In particular, there are various arrangements of the energy dissipating mesh 3, for example: as shown in fig. 1-2, the first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2, and the first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are arranged to intersect on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2, or as shown in fig. 3-6, the first energy-dissipating strips 33 are provided around the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2, and a plurality of the first energy-dissipating strips 33 are provided at intervals in the up-down direction on the sleeve 2, a plurality of the second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are provided at intervals around the circumferential direction of the sleeve 2, and the second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 extend in the up-down direction and intersect with each of the first energy-dissipating strips 33, and the plurality of the first energy-dissipating strips 33 and the plurality of the second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 cooperate with each other to form the energy-dissipating net 3.
In some embodiments, the energy dissipating mesh 3 is formed by intersecting a plurality of first spiral energy dissipating strips 31 parallel to each other and a plurality of second spiral energy dissipating strips 32 parallel to each other. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, a plurality of first spiral energy dissipating strips 31 and a plurality of second spiral energy dissipating strips 32 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2. The plurality of first spiral energy dissipating strips 31 are parallel to each other and arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sleeve 2, the plurality of second spiral energy dissipating strips 32 are parallel to each other and arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sleeve 2, and the plurality of first spiral energy dissipating strips 31 and the plurality of second spiral energy dissipating strips 32 intersect with each other.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the upper ends of the plurality of first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the upper ends of the plurality of second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are level with each other in the up-down direction, and the lower ends of the plurality of first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the lower ends of the plurality of second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are level with each other in the up-down direction, that is, the upper ends of the plurality of first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the upper ends of the plurality of second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are all at the same distance from the sea level in the up-down direction, and the lower ends of the plurality of first spiral energy-dissipating strips 31 and the lower ends of the plurality of second spiral energy-dissipating strips 32 are also at the same distance from the sea level in the up-down direction. The upper end of each first spiral energy dissipation strip 31 intersects with the upper end of one of the second spiral energy dissipation strips 32, and the lower end of each first spiral energy dissipation strip 31 also intersects with the lower end of one of the second spiral energy dissipation strips 32. The energy dissipation net 3 formed by the first spiral energy dissipation strips 31 and the second spiral energy dissipation strips 32 in a crossed mode is arranged on the sleeve 2 in a surrounding mode, and energy dissipation and impact reduction efficiency of the energy dissipation net 3 is guaranteed.
It will be appreciated that in some embodiments the first spiral energy dissipater strip 31 may be one strip and the second spiral energy dissipater strip 32 may also be one strip. The first and second spiral energy dissipating strips 31 and 32 each spirally surround the sleeve 2, and the first and second spiral energy dissipating strips 31 and 32 have a plurality of intersection points, thereby forming the energy dissipating net 3 around the sleeve 2.
Since the position of the first section 11 closer to the surface of the sea bed is more likely to receive tidal current impact, the probability of horseshoe vortices being generated is also higher. Thus, to better cope with the actual situation, in some embodiments the parts of the energy dissipating mesh 3 close to the surface of the sea bed are denser than the parts far from the surface of the sea bed. Thus, to better cope with the actual situation, in some embodiments the density of the dissipater mesh 3 increases towards the surface of the sea bed. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 to 6, the density of the energy dissipation net 3 is increased by increasing the number of the first energy dissipation strips 33 and the number of the second energy dissipation strips 34 or decreasing the distance between the adjacent first spiral strips 33 and the distance between the second energy dissipation strips 34, and the density of the energy dissipation net 3 is increased towards the direction close to the sea bed surface, so that the anti-scouring capability and the practicability of the offshore wind power foundation are improved.
In many sea areas, the direction of the current is not uniform, for example: tidal currents in some sea areas flow east and west throughout the year, with north and south flow rarely occurring. When the pile foundation 1 is subjected to the tide of the flow of things, the sea beds on the east and west sides of the pile foundation 1 are most likely to generate large scour pits, while the sea beds on the south and north sides generate smaller scour pits.
In order to reduce the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing difficulty of the offshore wind power foundation under the condition of having a sufficiently strong anti-scouring capacity, in some embodiments, the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 2 comprises a front surface facing the tide direction, a back surface opposite to the front surface and two side surfaces, and the energy dissipation nets 3 distributed on the front surface and the back surface are denser than the energy dissipation nets 3 distributed on the two side surfaces.
Specifically, the front surface is defined as the surface facing the direction of the tide, the side surface facing away from the direction of the tide, and the side surface connected with the front surface and the back surface is defined as the side surface (for example, the tide flows in the east-west direction, and the tide flows in the north-south direction are rare, the east surface of the sleeve 2 is the front surface, the west surface of the sleeve 2 is the back surface, or the west surface of the sleeve 2 is the front surface, the east surface of the sleeve 2 is the back surface, and the north-south surfaces of the sleeve 2 are the side surfaces), and the density of the energy dissipation nets 3 arranged on the front surface and the back surface of the sleeve 2 is greater than that of the energy dissipation nets 3 on both sides of the sleeve 2. Therefore, the offshore wind power foundation can have strong anti-scouring capacity, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced.
In some embodiments, the dimension of the energy dissipating mesh 3 in the axial direction of the sleeve 2 is 1.0De or more.

In some embodiments, stones are thrown on the outer periphery of the sleeve 2, a part of the stones are located on the anti-sinking plate 21 to prevent the sleeve 2 from inclining due to the impact of seawater, and another part of the stones are located on the outer periphery of the anti-sinking plate 21, so that the sand and sand around the pile foundation 1 are washed and form a washing pit due to the action of waves and tide, and the stones can turn over into the washing pit in time, so that the stability of the pile foundation 1 is improved, and the anti-washing effect is enhanced. When the stone throwing operation is carried out, the sleeve 2 and the anti-sinking plate 21 can also prevent the thrown stone from smashing the pile foundation 1, and the pile foundation has the characteristics of safety and reliability.
In some embodiments, the outer circumference of the sleeve 2 is curved in a concave shape in a direction approaching the first portion 11, and the outer diameter of the sleeve 2 increases in a direction approaching the surface of the sea bed. Specifically, the cross-sectional area of the sleeve 2 is gradually reduced from bottom to top, and the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 2 is streamlined and recessed inward in the inward and outward directions.
