Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power, and in particular to a wind power hybrid tower prefabricated tower section connection structure. Background Art

[0002] A wind turbine tower is the mast of a wind turbine generator system. It primarily supports the wind turbine generator system and absorbs vibrations. Wind turbine towers are commonly constructed of all-steel or prefabricated concrete. Prefabricated concrete towers are mostly assembled in sections or segments. Segmented assembly means each section of the concrete tower is assembled from multiple prefabricated concrete components. Single concrete components are lightweight, compact, and easy to transport. Therefore, when installing a tower using segmented concrete components, adjacent prefabricated components must be connected. High-strength bolts are generally used for this purpose, requiring pre-embedded connectors within the prefabricated components. However, most existing connectors utilize a single-sided connection, where the bolts are located on the inside of the tower and sealed and bonded to the outside surface with rapid-hardening cement. Repeated loads can cause partial detachment of the rapid-hardening cement, impacting the load-bearing capacity and placing higher demands on the shear resistance of existing bolts.
