Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in combination with figures in the embodiments of the invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part, but not all, of the embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments acquired by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work also belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments and the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other in a non-conflicting situation.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, the integrated floating photovoltaic device of the present invention can be applied to severe sea conditions, comprising at least one floating photovoltaic unit. The floating photovoltaic units are connected to form a floating photovoltaic device through connecting pieces, which can avoid collision between floating photovoltaic units; as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, multiple floating photovoltaic units form a single row array or regional array, and the floating photovoltaic array is fixed through a mooring system, to ensure its safety under severe sea conditions; a protective zone with relatively moderate sea conditions is formed in the targeted sea area, for arranging other marine structures that cannot rely on themselves for wave dissipation and resistance; the floating photovoltaic unit comprises a floating system 1, photovoltaic systems 2 and a walkway system 3; the floating system 1 is used for supporting the photovoltaic systems 2 and bearing wave load impact; the photovoltaic systems 2 are photovoltaic power generation systems of the floating photovoltaic device, which are key systems of the photovoltaic power generation systems; the walkway system 3 is arranged between the photovoltaic systems 2, and the walkway system 3 provides convenience for later maintenance of the floating photovoltaic device.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 4, the floating system 1 is a wave-dissipating floating body arranged along a square area by resonant wave dissipation; the cross-sectional shapes of the floating bodies around the area can be divided into two types: circular cross-section floating body 5 and square cross-section floating body 6; two circular cross-section floating bodies 5 are parallel and respectively arranged on the wave facing side and the back wave side of the floating photovoltaic device, mainly carrying wave loads and achieving the purposes of wave dissipation and wave resistance. two square cross-section floating bodies 6 serve as supporting parts, mainly for connecting the circular cross-section floating bodies 5 on both sides; the square cross-section floating bodies 6 are vertically connected with the circular cross-section floating bodies 5, and the wave-dissipating floating body 4 is provided with a cross shaped square cross-section floating body in the middle, which can effectively improve the wave dissipation effect of the wave-dissipating floating body 4. Several integrally formed connecting columns 7 are provided outside the four sides of the wave-dissipating floating body 4, and the photovoltaic system 2 is embedded on the circular cross-section floating body 5 through its own circular shape characteristics.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the connecting columns 7 consist of two protruding parts of the circular cross-section floating bodies 5 and cylindrical rods in the protruding parts, and there are multiple connecting columns 7 on the wave-dissipating floating body 4, which are flexibly connected through rubber rings 8. Its advantage is to ensure its own movement trend of each floating photovoltaic unit, and to disperse the external force of wave action on the entire floating photovoltaic power station as much as possible. The material properties of the rubber ring 8 can to some extent avoid collision between floating photovoltaic units.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 7, the photovoltaic system 2 comprises a support structure 9 and a photovoltaic module 10; it is embedded with the groove on the circular cross-section floating body 5, and then connected by bolts or welding, enhancing the overall structural strength of the floating system 1 and ensuring the working stability of the entire floating photovoltaic device.

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the support structure 9 comprises several I-steels 11 and several square steels 12, arranged in an array along the length direction of the circular cross-section floating body 5. The I-steel 11 is the main strength component that directly overlaps with the wave-dissipating floating body 4 to carry the gravity load of the photovoltaic module 10 and the wave load transmitted through the wave-dissipating floating body 4. The square steel 12 is an auxiliary component arranged according to the position of I-steel 11, and arranged in a herringbone shape on the I-steel 11 to strengthen the relatively weak parts of the photovoltaic system 2 structure.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12, the photovoltaic module 10 comprises a reinforced crossbeam 13, a roof support 14, a thin crossbeam 15, a thick crossbeam 16, a photovoltaic panel 17, and the reinforced crossbeam 13 is a square steel pipe, arranged on the I-steel 11 and used to carry the load transmitted from the I-steel 11. Part of the reinforced crossbeams is arranged in an array along the length direction of the wave-dissipating floating body 4 to form a lower reinforced crossbeam layer, while the other part of reinforced crossbeams is arranged on the lower reinforced crossbeam layer to form an upper reinforced crossbeam layer; the upper reinforced crossbeam layer and the lower reinforced crossbeam layer are vertically arranged and connected through an automatic connecting device 18; the roof support 14 is made of aluminium alloy, with a shape similar to the roof; the bottom of the roof support 14 is connected to the lower reinforced crossbeam layer through bolts and nuts; the upper reinforced crossbeam layer is located on both inner sides of the roof support 14, and the thin crossbeam 15 and thick crossbeam 16 are square pipe fittings made of aluminium alloy; the thin crossbeam 15 is arranged near the top of the roof support 14, and the thick crossbeam 16 is arranged near the bottom of the roof support 14; the size difference between thin crossbeam 15 and thick crossbeam 16 provides component support for the layout of the photovoltaic panel 17, and the photovoltaic panel 17 is arranged on the roof support 14 through the thin crossbeam 15 and the thick crossbeam 16. The walkway system 3 is arranged between the roof supports 14.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 15 and 16, reinforced crossbeams are connected through an automatic connecting device 18, and the automatic connecting device 18 comprises a snap-on gripper 20, a base 21, a button 22, a ratchet 23, a firing pin 24 and a spring 25; the base 21 is arranged on the lower reinforced crossbeam layer, and both ends of the base 21 are provided with L shaped notches; the firing pin 24 is arranged in the L shaped notch; one end of the firing pin 24 is matched with the ratchet 23, and the other end of the firing pin 24 is connected with the spring 25; the spring 25 is arranged in the base 24, and the button 22 is inverted-T shaped; both the lower ends of the button 22 are in contact with the firing pin 24, and the ratchet 23 is connected to the snap-in gripper 20. The snap-in gripper 20 grips the photovoltaic module 10 through its own structure. During installation, the upper reinforced crossbeam layer is placed on the base 21. The lower structure of the button will press the firing pin down from the longitudinal notch to the transverse groove through its own weight by pressing the button 22. When the firing pin 24 reaches the transverse notch, it will be pushed towards the ratchet 23 under the action of the spring 25. The spring 25 is installed in the groove between the firing pin 24 and the base 21, and the snap-on gripper 20 and the ratchet 23 are fixedly connected to rotate together. At this point, the reed of the ratchet 23 rotates and clamps the upper reinforced crossbeam layer, and the firing pin 24 will prevent the ratchet 23 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 17, the joint between the lower reinforced crossbeam layer and the end of the upper reinforced crossbeam layer is provided with a stop device 19, and the stop device 19 is provided with bolt holes; the stop device 19 is connected with the lower reinforced crossbeam layer through bolts and nuts, and the protruding part on the upper part of the stop device 19 is provided with a stop block; the height of the stop block is greater than the height of the two reinforced crossbeam layers, which can limit the movement of the photovoltaic module 10 connected to the bayonet 20 of the automatic connecting device 18 along the length direction of the reinforced crossbeam.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the walkway system 3 comprises several aluminum alloy walkway panels 26; both sides of the walkway panel 26 are provided with connecting structures 27 along the width direction, and the walkway panel is connected with the photovoltaic system 2 through the connecting structure 27.
