Description:
SUBAQUEOUS BASE STRUCTURE OF WIND POWER GENERATOR CAPABLE OF BEING USED AS NET CAGE CULTIVATION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a subaqueous base structure of wind power generator capable of being used as net cage cultivation. More specifically, the subaqueous base structure of wind power generator is utilized to install the net cage and provide an ideal environment for the net cage cultivation while the wind power generator is generating the green energy to supply power, which solves the deficiency and problem of the current net cage cultivation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

[0002] Accordingly, the offshore wind power is to install a wind power generator at sea and generate power by utilizing wind energy. In general, the wind power resource at sea is richer than on shore which enables the offshore wind power to provide more power than the onshore wind power during the same period and the facility is far away from the residence area, thus the NIMBY facility will be less opposed by the local residents. The offshore wind power generator is installed on offshore, and for the purposed of securing the wind power generator firmly, an immovable or floating subaqueous base structure is necessarily provided to support the wind power generator located above the platform. However, in the prior art, the foregoing subaqueous base structure of the wind power generator is merely utilized to support the wind power generator but failing to enhance the application thereof. Moreover, the net clothes provided around the periphery of the net cage cultivation are easily deformed and suffering from destruction and cause great loss due to the day and night impact of the ocean wave, bad weather and fish shoal and the attack of the selachimorpha. The net clothes on the ocean are easily adhered with the organisms, i.e. Cirripedia, that is hardly cleaned off, thus the repair of the net clothes is difficult and the maintain cost is increasing. Furthermore, the depth and balance of the net clothes are difficult to be adjusted so that the fish shoal are frightened to be hurt and even die while the sea state is terrible.

[0003] The present inventor considers that the offshore wind power generator is necessarily configured with the subaqueous base structure to support the wind power generator and the subaqueous base structure is designed for a single purpose of merely protecting and fixing the wind power generator, which is extremely wasteful, and further the construction of the net cage is configured on offshore which combines the subaqueous base structure of wind power generator with the net cage cultivation and slightly modifies and expands the design of the subaqueous base structure thereof, thereby to be used as net cage cultivation as well, sea charging station and green hydrogen manufacturing station, etc. The foregoing deficiencies and problems of the current net cage cultivation are solved by means of not only utilizing the green energy to supply power but also utilizing the subaqueous base structure of wind power generator to protect the net cage structure and net clothes and provide the net cage cultivation with an idea environment. Further research and improvement are made to create the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a subaqueous base structure of wind power generator capable of being used for net cage cultivation.

[0005] The primary feature of the present invention is direct to the base structure of the wind power generator having a platform, the wind power generator capable of being installed above the platform, the uniformly distributed hollow tubes installed inside or/and the platform, wherein the hollow tubes being able to control and adjust the sea water volume entering into the hollow tubes via the Al; and a plurality of cultivation net cages comprising the frame bodies, the barriers configured around the frame bodies and the net clothes configured inside the frame bodies being installed below the platform. The depth and balance of the platform and net cage position can be adjusted via control so that the sea water volume of the hollow tube can be adjusted, the platform is adjusted to be semi-submersible during a strong wind wave, and the hollow tube is connected to the smart anchor through the below of the platform and position the platform berth in a manner of distant control, thereby enabling the subaqueous base structure of the wind power generator to be used as the net cage cultivation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0014] With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, the subaqueous base structure 2 of the wind power generator 1 comprises as follows:

[0015] A platform 20, above the platform 20 is provided a wind power generator 1 (can construct a horizontal axis wind power generator la and a vertical axis wind power generator lb), inside or/and around the sides of the platform 20 is provided an uniformly distributed hollow tube 21 (when the hollow tube 21 is installed around the sides of the platform 20, the hollow tube 21 is secured to the outside of the platform 20 by a partial external manner), and the hollow tube 21 can be controlled to adjust the sea water volume entering into the hollow tube 21, thereby controlling the height of the platform 20 away from the sea level (higher or lower than the sea level). Moreover, on the bottom surface of the platform 20 corresponding to the position of a hollow supporting shaft 1c of each vertical axis wind power generator lb is provided a wave guiding tube Id extending downwardly and the wave guiding tube Id is communicating with the supporting shaft 1 c, thereby enabling the ocean wave to enter through the wave guiding tube Id and the supporting shaft 1c and bringing the ocean wave to the vertical axis wind power generator lb and then generating power. Below the platform 20 is connected with a smart anchor 22 (composed of the external anchors of a submarine) which controls the movement of the smart anchor 22 in a manner of distant control and is fixed with the seabed via the anchor, thereby fixing the platform 20 with the seabed berth, and the smart anchor 22 can control the movement of the platform 20 to adjust the direction according to the wind direction.

[0016] At least a net cage 30, a plurality of net cages are included in the present embodiment and each net cage 30 is composed of the net clothes 31 and a frame body 32. The net clothes 31 are fixed inside the frame body 32, and on the periphery of the frame body except the top surface is provided a barrier 320 to protect the net clothes 31 and the fish inside the frame body 32. The frame body can be in any shape, i.e. round, oval and polygon, etc. and the frame body 32 and the barrier 320 are composed of a crossing tube member 321, enabling the seawater to be filled inside the tube member 321, thereby being together with the hollow tube 21 to control the height of the platform 20 away from the sea level (lower or higher than the sea level).

[0017] While application,

[0018] 1. The stored electric power generated by the wind power generators 1 can be used as a sea charging station and also the platform 20 can be a green hydrogen manufacturing station. [0019] 2. An Al can be utilized to adjust the sea water volume of the hollow tube 21 and the tube member 321, thereby regulating the depth and balance of the platform 20 and the net cage 30. When the wind wave is too strong, the platform 20 and the net cage 30 are regulated to be semi-submersible and fixed via distantly controlling the movement of the smart anchor 22 and seabed berth. Furthermore, the smart anchor 22 controls the movement of the platform20 and adjusts direction according to the wind direction.

[0020] 3. A robot is utilized to inspect and repair the net cage 30 along the outside of the frame body 32 and the barrier 320 of the net cage 30 at any time and clean off the adhered organisms at the first time, thereby reducing the cost of net cage 30 cultivation.

[0021] 4. The hollow supporting shaft 1c of the vertical axis wind power generator lb is communicating with the wave guiding tube Id, enabling the sea wave to enter through the wave guiding tube Id and the supporting shaft 1c and generating ocean wave power to the vertical axis wind power generator lb.

[0022] Moreover, with reference to Figs. 3 ~ 5 of the second embodiment, on the platform 20 of the subaqueous base structure 2 is not only provided the horizontal axis wind power generator la and the vertical axis wind power generator lb, but also at least one side of the platform 20 is provided a screen device 40 utilized to be a shelter during a strong wind, thereby protecting the fish shoal inside the net cage 30 from cold damage and frostbite. The screen device 40 disclosed in Fig. 5 comprises a plurality of screens 41, each screen having a frame 410, a spiral blade 412 pivotally joined to the inner of the frame 410 via a pivot axle 41 land a micro power generator 413 connected to one end of the pivot axle 411. The pivot axle 411 is rotated through the spiral blade 412 driven by the wind and the rotation power of the pivot axle 411 further drives the activation of the power generator 413, thereby enabling the power generator 413 to generate power so as to enhance the function of generating power of the wind power generator. The screen device 40 can be adjust to face the wind via the smart anchor 22 controlling the direction of the platform 20 so that the foregoing fish shoal inside the net cage 30 are protected from cold damage and frostbite, and further reinforce the rotating strength of the spiral blade 412 to enhance the effect of generating power of the power generator 413.

[0023] With further reference to Figs.6 and 7, the platform 20 is shown as the top view of third embodiment in Fig. 6 and a structural diagram illustrates a rotor sail 50 applied on an offshore net cage cultivation platform 20a. The roto sails 50 can drive the platform 20a to move or stop and the platform 20a comprises two machine tables 20b, 20c separated left and right and two machine tables 20b, 20c are connected via a framework 20d. A net cage 51 is installed between two machine tables 20b, 20c to cultivate the fish. The rotor sails 50 are respectively configured on the two machine tables 20b, 20c, and the inner of the end of each rotor sail 20 is provided a wind power generating device 6 having a rotating shaft 60 and a blade wheel 61 locating above the top end of the rotor sail 50 and securing to the rotating shaft 60 (Fig. 7). The blade wheels 61 are blew by the wind and drive the rotating shaft 60 to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the wind power generator 6 to generate power and supplying the electricity required for the net cage cultivation platform 20.

[0024] It can be known from the foregoing descriptions, the subaqueous base structure of the wind power generator disclosed in the present invention not only supports the wind power generator but also is used as the net cage cultivation so that the subaqueous base structure of the wind power generator has better performance on utilization.
