Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tower plate anti-collision structure, specifically a stacked anti-collision structure for wind turbine tower plates. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore wind power, as a clean and renewable energy source, has experienced rapid development in recent years. During the construction of offshore wind farms, the tower is a crucial structural component supporting the wind turbine. The tower is typically assembled from multiple tower plates through welding and other methods. During the transportation, storage, and installation of the tower plates, due to their large size and heavy weight, and the complex and variable marine environment, including wind, waves, and ship navigation, the tower plates are highly susceptible to collisions during stacking, resulting in scratches, dents, and other damage to the surface. This damage not only affects the appearance of the tower plates but may also reduce the structural strength and stability of the tower, ultimately impacting the operational safety and lifespan of the entire offshore wind farm.
[0003] Currently, existing solutions for collision protection of stacked tower panels in offshore wind turbines have many shortcomings. Traditional collision protection measures, such as simply placing rubber pads or foam boards between tower panels, have limited cushioning effects and are insufficient to effectively withstand large impacts. Moreover, these cushioning materials are prone to aging and damage in the long-term humid marine environment, requiring frequent replacement and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, existing collision protection structures often lack effective fixing and positioning devices, allowing tower panels to easily shift under the influence of wind and waves, significantly reducing their collision protection effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stacked anti-collision structure for wind turbine tower plates, comprising a bottom support base, the bottom support base comprising a horizontal support plate and support legs, the support legs being evenly distributed at the bottom of the horizontal support plate for supporting the entire anti-collision structure, the upper surface of the horizontal support plate being provided with an anti-slip rubber layer, a buffer anti-collision assembly being provided above the bottom support base, the buffer anti-collision assembly comprising multiple buffer anti-collision units spaced apart on the horizontal support plate, each buffer anti-collision unit comprising a fixed base, a buffer spring and an anti-collision plate, the fixed base being fixed to the horizontal support plate, one end of the buffer spring being connected to the fixed base, and the other end of the buffer spring being connected to the anti-collision plate, a fixing positioning assembly being provided on the bottom support base, the fixing positioning assembly comprising a positioning rod and a fixing clamp.
[0006] Preferably, the anti-collision plate has a flexible buffer pad on the side closest to the tower plate.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning rod is vertically mounted on the horizontal support plate and located between two adjacent buffer anti-collision units.
[0008] Preferably, the positioning rod is threaded into a screw hole on the horizontal support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing clamp includes an upper clamp body and a lower clamp body, which are connected by bolts to fix the tower plate to the positioning rod.
[0010] Preferably, a warning light is provided at the top of the positioning rod.
[0011] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly installed on one side of the upper clamp and the lower clamp, and the upper clamp and the lower clamp are movably sleeved on the positioning rod through the sleeve.
[0012] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided on one side of the sleeve, and the bolt is installed in the threaded hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model achieves effective protection for wind turbine tower panels during the stacking process through a buffer anti-collision component and a fixed positioning component. The buffer spring and anti-collision plate in the buffer anti-collision component can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force when the tower panels collide, preventing damage to the tower panels. At the same time, the flexible buffer pad on the anti-collision plate further enhances the buffering effect and improves the protective performance of the anti-collision structure.
[0015] 2. The fixed positioning component of this utility model achieves stable fixation of the tower plate through the combined use of the positioning rod and the fixing clamp, preventing it from shifting under the action of external forces such as wind and waves, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the anti-collision effect. The warning light design on the top of the positioning rod not only improves the safety warning effect at night or under poor visibility conditions, but also helps to detect and deal with potential safety hazards in a timely manner.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for a stacked anti-collision structure for wind turbine tower plates: it includes a bottom support base 1, the bottom support base 1 includes a horizontal support plate 2 and support legs 3, the support legs 3 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the horizontal support plate 2 to support the entire anti-collision structure, the upper surface of the horizontal support plate 2 is provided with an anti-slip rubber layer 4, a buffer anti-collision assembly 5 is provided above the bottom support base 1, the buffer anti-collision assembly 5 includes a plurality of buffer anti-collision units 6 spaced apart on the horizontal support plate 2, each buffer anti-collision unit 6 includes a fixed base 7, a buffer spring 8 and an anti-collision plate 9, the fixed base 7 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 2, one end of the buffer spring 8 is connected to the fixed base 7, and the other end of the buffer spring 8 is connected to the anti-collision plate 9, the bottom support base 1 is also provided with a fixing positioning assembly 10, the fixing positioning assembly 10 includes a positioning rod 11 and a fixing clamp 12.
[0022] Furthermore, the anti-collision plate 9 is provided with a flexible buffer pad 13 on the side near the tower plate.
[0023] In this embodiment, the flexible buffer pad 13 is made of rubber material, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can effectively absorb the impact force generated when the tower plates are stacked, further protecting the tower plates from damage. At the same time, the surface of the flexible buffer pad 13 is provided with anti-slip texture, which increases the friction between it and the tower plates, prevents slippage during stacking, and improves the stability of stacking.
[0024] Furthermore, the positioning rod 11 is vertically mounted on the horizontal support plate 2 and is located between two adjacent buffer anti-collision units 6.
[0025] In this embodiment, one end of the positioning rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom support base 1, and the other end passes through the horizontal support plate 2 and extends upwards. It is used to position the stacked tower plates, ensuring that the tower plates can maintain a neat arrangement during the stacking process and avoiding misalignment or tilting. In addition, the positioning rod 11 also enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire anti-collision structure.
[0026] Furthermore, the positioning rod 11 is connected to the threaded hole on the horizontal support plate 2 by means of a threaded connection.
[0027] In this embodiment, the connection method of the positioning rod 11 allows its height to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby adapting to the stacking requirements of tower plates of different specifications or sizes. During adjustment, simply rotating the positioning rod 11 easily achieves its vertical movement, making the operation simple and quick.
[0028] Furthermore, the fixing clamp 12 includes an upper clamp body 14 and a lower clamp body 15, which are connected by bolts 16 to fix the tower plate to the positioning rod 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, the fixing clamp 12 securely fixes the tower plate to the positioning rod 11 during stacking, preventing displacement or collapse due to shaking or external forces. The clamping space formed between the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the tower plate, ensuring the stability and reliability of the fixation. Meanwhile, the use of bolts 16 not only enhances the firmness of the fixation but also makes the disassembly and installation process simpler and faster.
[0030] Furthermore, a warning light 17 is provided on the top of the positioning rod 11.
[0031] In this embodiment, the warning light 17 is designed to improve safety during operation. When the tower plates are stacked to a certain height, it may be difficult for operators to directly observe the top. At this time, the warning light 17 can alert the operators by illuminating or flashing to avoid collisions or misoperations.
[0032] Furthermore, a sleeve 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15, and the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 are movably sleeved on the positioning rod 11 through the sleeve 18.
[0033] In this embodiment, the sleeve 18 further enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the fixing clamp 12. Through the sleeve 18, the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 can slide along the positioning rod 11 to a certain extent. This design allows operators to move the fixing clamp more conveniently when adjusting the position of the tower plate or performing stacking operations, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0034] Furthermore, a screw hole 19 is provided on one side of the sleeve 18, and the bolt 16 is installed in the screw hole 19.
[0035] In this embodiment, after the operator completes the stacking of the tower plates, the positions of the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 can be locked by screwing the bolt 16 into the screw hole 19 to prevent them from moving under the action of wind or other external forces, thereby ensuring that the stacked tower plates remain stable and avoiding the risk of collapse or damage.
[0036] Working Principle: During operation, the operator first places the bottom support base 1 in the designated position, ensuring the support legs 3 firmly support the entire anti-collision structure. Then, according to the specifications of the tower plates and stacking requirements, the height of the positioning rod 11 is adjusted, and it is moved up and down within the threaded hole to the appropriate position by rotating the positioning rod 11. Next, the operator places the tower plates sequentially onto the buffer anti-collision assembly 5. Each tower plate is buffered and protected by a buffer spring 8 and an anti-collision plate 9. The flexible buffer pad 13 on the anti-collision plate 9 further enhances the buffering effect, effectively absorbing the impact force generated during stacking. Simultaneously, one side of the tower plate is clamped to the positioning rod 11 by a fixing clamp 12. The upper clamp 14 and lower clamp 15 are connected and fixed by bolts 16, ensuring that the tower plates will not shift or collapse during stacking. When the tower plates are stacked to a certain height, the warning light 17 begins to illuminate or flash, reminding the operator to pay attention to safety and avoid collisions. After the stacking operation is completed, the operator screws the bolt 16 into the screw hole 19 on one side of the sleeve 18 to lock the position of the fixing clamp 12 and ensure that the stacked tower plates remain stable.
