Floating fan device with double-tendon coordination mechanism
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of floating type offshore wind power equipment, and particularly relates to a floating fan device with a double-tendon coordination mechanism.
Background
The floating fan foundation is a floating body structure floating on the sea surface, is mainly used for placing a wind generating set and carrying out offshore power generation operation, and is a main bearing member of offshore wind power generation equipment. At present, offshore wind power development is concentrated in offshore shallow water areas, and wind power generation foundations mainly adopt fixed structures such as single piles or jackets and the like. Along with the gradual reduction of landings and offshore resources, the development of offshore wind power resources gradually goes to deep water, and along with the increase of water depth, the construction and installation costs of the traditional fixed foundation are greatly increased, so that a floating foundation suitable for larger water depth becomes a main foundation form for future offshore wind power development.
The existing floating wind power foundation mainly comprises tension legs, semi-submersibles, upright posts and barges. The four structural forms have advantages and disadvantages, and compared with other forms, the tension leg type foundation has better economy and sea applicability. The existing tension leg type floating wind power foundation has the following problems that the traditional tension legs are generally connected by single tendon members, and when the wind wave and current environmental load is resisted, the problem that adjacent cables on a single angle do not move synchronously and are stressed is faced. The effect of connecting the traditional tension leg to the upper platform cannot realize effective protection of the tension leg, and cannot effectively reduce the fatigue load of the traditional cable, thereby prolonging the service life of the traditional cable.

(1) The invention introduces the double-tendon connection mechanism with self-adjusting function, which can improve the synchronization capability of adjacent cable guide assemblies in the system and improve the stability of the TLP floating body platform. The double tendon coordination mechanism is provided with the double tendon connection units with the built-in sensing control devices, and the synchronization capability of adjacent cables when resisting the environmental load of stormy waves and currents is improved through the coordination action of the 2 tendon coordination structures. A connecting bolt is arranged at the upper part of the tendon connecting unit, and two independent tendon coordination structures are combined into a double tendon coordination mechanism by additionally increasing the rotational freedom degree of the system. Meanwhile, the average value of the tension of two adjacent cables in a certain period of time is obtained through the single component sensor and the sensing control device, and when the tension value is larger than the allowable value of the adjacent tension error, an adjusting signal is sent out, and the adjusting purpose is achieved through the adjusting angle wheel. The technology can overcome the defects of the traditional single tendon connection mechanism and realize the synchronization of the movement and the stress of adjacent cables. The invention provides a double tendon coordination mechanism design scheme with a self-adjusting function, and provides a powerful reference for tendon coordination mechanism design in a tension leg type floating fan.
(2) The invention develops an integrated component for coupling the multi-connection bolt unit, the spring hydraulic damping unit and the angle sensing control unit, which not only converts the flat energy of the cable into multidirectional rotation energy so as to release fatigue load, but also transfers the fatigue load of the cable to a spring component in the spring hydraulic damping unit, and can regulate the cable through the sensing of a single-component force sensor, thereby realizing effective protection of the cable.
The first connecting bolt and the second connecting bolt are combined to convert translational energy of the cable into rotational energy in multiple directions, so that fatigue load caused by the load of the wind, wave and current environment acting on the cable is released. Meanwhile, due to the spring hydraulic damping unit, deflection, rotation and elongation response generated by the cable under the action of environmental load can be partially transmitted to the spring hydraulic damping unit, so that fatigue load of the cable is greatly reduced. In addition, the rotation angle of the cable is obtained through the angle sensor and the sensing control device, and when the angle value is larger than the allowable safety value, an adjusting signal is sent out, so that the adjusting purpose is realized by the adjusting angle wheel. The technology can effectively reduce fatigue load of the cable, prolong service life of the cable and realize effective protection of the cable.
