Seabed base platform with ocean current energy power generation function

Abstract

The invention discloses a seabed base platform with an ocean current energy power generation function. The seabed base platform comprises a platform body and a gravity ballast assembly connected withthe bottom of the platform body through steel cables, wherein the downward pulling force generated by the gravity of the gravity ballast assembly is balanced with the buoyancy of the platform body. The platform body comprises a connecting bridge assembly, power generation assemblies and a yaw wing, wherein the connecting bridge assembly is provided with a ballast compartment. The gravity ballast assembly comprises a gravity block and a steering assembly fixed to the gravity block and used for achieving horizontal steering of the platform body. The steering assembly comprises a lower thrust bearing, a sliding table capable of freely rotating around the axis, an upper thrust bearing and a fixing ring, wherein the fixing ring is fixedly connected with the gravity block and tightly presses thesteering assembly. One end of each steel cable is fixed to the platform body, and the other end of each steel cable is fixed to the sliding table and can rotate along with the sliding table. Horizontal steering of the platform body is achieved through the steering assembly, the seabed base platform keeps its direction consistent with the direction of incoming flow, and therefore power generationof higher efficiency is further achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates, in particular, to a seabed base platform capable of generating electricity from ocean currents. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of marine scientific research, marine disaster prevention and emergency, and marine economy, marine environmental observation and survey technology has also experienced from the first observation platform (roadbed, sea-based), the second observation platform (space) to the third History of Observation Platform (Seabed). The observation method has experienced a leap from low-frequency, instantaneous, and static observation to long-term, continuous, and dynamic observation. [0003] As a ground-based ocean monitoring device, the seabed base has the technical advantages of all-weather, multi-period, uninterrupted, multi-parameter, and high-quality compared with traditional observation technologies. As the main observation structure of the submarine observation platform, th...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the limitation of its own battery capacity, the non-cable subsea platform cannot be continuously observed for a long time. Although the cable subsea platform can achieve continuous observation, the cost of laying submarine cables is high, and the requirements for laying environmental conditions are relatively high.
