Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to wind power generation, and specifically relates to a wind turbine tower barrel for wind power generation. Background Technique
[0002] The wind turbine tower barrel is the tower pole of wind power generation and mainly plays a supporting role in the wind turbine generator set. During the process of assembling the tower pole using multiple tower barrels, a large crane is required to lift each tower barrel and stack and fix them in sequence. Currently, the fixation between two tower barrels often adopts a bolt fixation method, and in order to ensure the convenience of connection between two tower barrels, reserved holes are often set at the bottom of the tower barrel to facilitate the alignment and connection of the two tower barrels.
[0003] Based on the retrieval of the above information, it can be seen that although the method of using reserved holes provides support for the alignment and connection of the tower barrel, during the hoisting process of the tower barrel, due to the large size and heavy weight of the tower barrel, the alignment adjustment is often not relatively free and convenient, and once there is a hoisting deviation, it is easy to cause damage to the reserved holes or even damage to the tower barrel, resulting in a long time-consuming for the tower pole assembly and high requirements for the hoisting operation. Summary of the Invention
