Abstract

A deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for complementary power generation, production, living and exploration includes a platform body and a sustainable power supply system, where the platform body includes a column cabin, an upper platform housing, a lower platform housing and a current guide column; the column cabin, the current guide column, the lower platform housing and the upper platform housing are mutually connected to form a triangular platform with a hollow cavity, and a net is disposed in the hollow cavity to form a mariculture zone; the sustainable power supply system includes a wind-driven generator disposed at an end of a top surface of the upper platform housing, a solar panel disposed above a middle portion of the top surface of the upper platform housing, a wave power generation apparatus disposed on the current guide column, and several tidal current power generation apparatuses.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for complementary power generation, production, living and exploration, comprising:
a platform body, comprising:
three column cabins,
a lower platform housing connected to the bottoms of the column cabins, an upper platform housing connected to the tops of the column cabins, and
several spaced current guide columns connected between the lower platform housing and the upper platform housing,
wherein the column cabins, the current guide columns, the upper platform housing and the lower platform housing are mutually connected to form a triangular platform with a hollow cavity, and a net is disposed in the hollow cavity to form a mariculture zone; and

a sustainable power supply system, comprising:
a wind-driven generator disposed at an end of a top surface of the upper platform housing to convert wind energy into electric energy and transmit the electric energy to an energy storage unit,
a solar panel disposed above a middle portion of the top surface of the upper platform housing to convert solar energy into the electric energy and transmit the electric energy to the energy storage unit,
a wave power generation apparatus disposed between the current guide columns to convert wave energy into the electric energy and transmit the electric energy to the energy storage unit, and
several tidal current power generation apparatuses disposed on a top surface of the lower platform housing to convert tidal current energy into the electric energy and transmit the electric energy to the energy storage unit;
wherein the wave power generation apparatus comprises a wave absorbing float and a closed power generation device compartment that are disposed among the current guide columns; the power generation device compartment is disposed below the wave absorbing float; a crankshaft and a wave energy conversion element are disposed inside the power generation device compartment, the wave energy conversion element comprises a lower end hinged to a bottom surface of the power generation device compartment and an upper end hinged to the crankshaft, wherein two ends of the crankshaft extend out of the power generation device compartment and are then connected to two supporting arms of the wave absorbing float through hinged shaft supports respectively, such that the wave absorbing float is capable of driving the crankshaft to move synchronously, thereby driving the wave energy conversion element to generate power.

2. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a cross section of a segment of the current guide column close to the lower platform housing is an inverted trapezoid that gradually expands from an outside to an inside, such that a trapezoidal region that gradually shrinks from the outside to the inside is formed between every pair of the current guide columns and the trapezoidal region is capable of enhancing the tidal current energy so as to improve a power generation efficiency of the several tidal current power generation apparatuses.

3. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a foldable stabilizing plate is disposed at an outer side of the lower platform housing.

4. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a beacon mast is disposed on the top surface of the upper platform housing, and devices for navigation, meteorology, communication and observation are mounted on the beacon mast.

5. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a platform deckhouse is disposed between the upper platform housing and the solar panel.

6. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a propeller is disposed at an end of a bottom surface of the lower platform housing.

7. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a crane is further disposed at the end of the top surface of the upper platform housing.

8. The deep-sea multi-energy integrated platform for the complementary power generation, the production, the living and the exploration according to claim 1 , wherein a windlass is further disposed at the end of the top surface of the upper platform housing and connected to an anchor head through an anchor chain.
