Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and more specifically to a tower tilting device. Background Technology
[0002] The tower of a wind turbine is an important component of the generator set. It is usually cylindrical and characterized by its large diameter, long length, and heavy weight. When installing the generator set, the tower is transported to the work site in a horizontal position. It needs to be lifted by hoisting machinery to turn the tower from a horizontal position to an vertical position before it can be installed in place.
[0003] Currently, the installation and construction of the tower usually involves two cranes working together. The main crane and the auxiliary crane lift the two ends of the tower respectively. The lifting, turning, and vertical positioning of the tower are completed through their cooperation. This method is inefficient and consumes crane resources, which increases construction costs to some extent and requires high-quality installation vessels.
[0004] To address this, an L-shaped turning device is provided in the relevant technology. This device turns the tower from a horizontal to a vertical position to facilitate subsequent tower hoisting operations. However, during the subsequent hoisting of the tower away from the turning device to the installation site, the tower body is prone to colliding with the L-shaped turning device, causing damage to the tower. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a tower tilting device to solve the problem that the tower body is prone to collide with the tilting device during the process of the tower being lifted away from the tilting device and moved to the installation site, causing damage to the tower.
[0006] The present invention provides a tower tilting device, comprising: a first support portion adapted to be connected to the bottom of a tower; a second support portion adapted to be connected to the side of the tower, the second support portion being rotatably connected to the first support portion; and a first power unit connected to the second support portion, the first power unit being adapted to drive the second support portion to tilt the tower from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the first power unit being adapted to drive the second support portion to detach from the tower when the tower is in a vertical state.
[0007] Beneficial Effects: The tower tilting device provided by this invention, through a support structure mainly composed of a first support part and a second support part, achieves the tilting operation of the tower under the driving action of a first power unit. When the tower is tilted into place, the first power unit returns to its original position. Since the second support part is rotatably connected to the first support part, the first power unit can drive the second support part back to its initial position. When the tower is in a vertical state, the second support part detaches from the tower. During the process of lifting the tower away from the tilting device to the installation site, this ensures that the tower will not collide with the second support part, thus protecting the tower. This solves the problem that the tower body is prone to colliding with the tilting device during the process of lifting the tower away from the tilting device to the installation site, causing damage to the tower.
[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the tower tilting device further includes a locking structure connected to the second support portion, the locking structure having a locked state that locks the second support portion to the tower and an unlocked state that separates the second support portion from the tower.
[0009] Beneficial effects: When the tower rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position, the locking structure is locked; when the second support detaches from the tower during the return stroke of the first power unit, the locking structure is unlocked. By setting up the locking structure, a stable connection can also be formed between the second support and the tower, further improving the stability of the tower installation.
[0010] In one optional embodiment, the locking structure includes: a first connector and a second connector, which are directly or indirectly connected to the second support portion, respectively, the first connector and the second connector being adapted to be arranged around the outer periphery of the tower; and a first automatic pin, which is movably connected to the first connector and the second connector, the first automatic pin being adapted to connect the first connector and the second connector when the tower is in a horizontal state, and the first automatic pin being adapted to separate the first connector and the second connector when the tower is in a vertical state.
[0011] Beneficial effects: The first and second connectors are circumferentially mounted on the tower, and together with the movable connection of the first automatic pin, the tower and the second support are detachably and stably connected in the circumferential direction of the tower, thereby improving the stability of the tower installation.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the first connector is configured as an arc-shaped bracket, the second connector is configured as a strap movably connected to the arc-shaped bracket, and the first automatic latch is configured as a telescopic cylinder; when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder extends, it connects with the strap, thereby fixing the strap to the arc-shaped bracket; when the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts, it separates from the strap, thereby separating the strap from the arc-shaped bracket.
[0013] Beneficial effects: The arc in the arc-shaped bracket corresponds to the outer circumferential contour of the tower. One end of the binding strap is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped bracket, and the other end of the binding strap is movably connected to the other side of the arc-shaped bracket through a telescopic hydraulic cylinder; the arc-shaped bracket is connected to the second support and is set at multiple positions on the second support, thereby limiting the tower and further improving the stability of the tower installation.
[0014] In one optional embodiment, the tower tilting device further includes a locking structure adapted to abut against the first support portion. The locking structure includes: a pressure plate bracket; a pressure plate member rotatably connected to the pressure plate bracket; and a second power unit force-transmittingly connected to the pressure plate member. The second power unit is adapted to drive the pressure plate member to rotate so that the pressure plate member abuts against the first support portion.
[0015] Beneficial effects: When the tower is flipped into a vertical position and the first support is lowered into a horizontal position, the locking structure limits the first support, improving the stability of the tower when it is in a vertical position.
[0016] In one optional embodiment, the first support is configured as a flange tray with a plurality of through holes, the through holes being corresponding to the flange structure at the bottom of the tower, and the through holes being connected to the flange structure by bolts.
[0017] Beneficial effects: The bottom of the tower is equipped with a flange structure for easy installation and connection. Corresponding through holes are provided on the first support part, which is set in a plate shape. By bolting, the bottom of the tower is fixed to the first support part, ensuring that the tower tilting device can perform anti-tilting operation on the tower.
[0018] In one alternative embodiment, the tower tilting device further includes a first bracket connected to the second support portion, the first bracket being adapted to be movably connected to the first support portion via a second automatic pin.
[0019] Beneficial effects: By setting up the first support, the first support part and the second support part are connected by the second automatic pin when the tower is tilted, forming a stable triangular structure between the first support part and the second support part, thereby improving the stability of the tower tilting device during operation.
[0020] In one alternative embodiment, the tower tilting device further includes a second bracket connected to the second support portion, the second bracket extending away from the second support portion, and the first power unit configured as a lifting cylinder, the movable end of the lifting cylinder being rotatably connected to one side of the extended second bracket.
[0021] Beneficial effects: When the first power unit is set as a lifting cylinder, by setting a second bracket, the lifting cylinder is connected to the second support part on the side rather than on the bottom surface of the second support part. This provides installation space for the force transmission connection between the lifting cylinder and the second support part, while ensuring that the tower can be placed horizontally.
[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the tower tilting device further includes a mounting base, which is rotatably connected to the first support and the second support via a slewing foundation.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The mounting base provides the installation position for the main structure of the tower tilting device, namely the slewing foundation, locking structure, and first power unit.
[0024] In one alternative implementation, the rotating base is a rotating shaft.
[0025] Beneficial effects: The flange tray is provided with pin holes, and the pallet is provided with corresponding pin holes. The two sets of pin holes are staggered. Each pin hole passes through the rotary shaft in sequence, and the first connector and the second connector are rotated through the rotary shaft. Attached Figure Description

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] The tower of a wind turbine is an important component of the generator set. It is usually cylindrical and characterized by its large diameter, long length, and heavy weight. When installing the generator set, the tower is transported to the work site in a horizontal position. It needs to be lifted by hoisting machinery to turn the tower from a horizontal position to an vertical position before it can be installed in place.
[0054] Currently, the installation and construction of the tower usually involves two cranes working together. The main crane and the auxiliary crane lift the two ends of the tower respectively. The lifting, turning, and vertical positioning of the tower are completed through their cooperation. This method is inefficient and consumes crane resources, which increases construction costs to some extent and requires high-quality installation vessels.
[0055] Therefore, related technologies provide an L-shaped turning device, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the tilting device includes a base 1d and an L-shaped mounting seat 2d. The L-shaped mounting seat 2d is suitable for mounting the tower component 3d and rotating along the base 1d, thereby tilting the tower component 3d from a horizontal to a vertical position to facilitate subsequent hoisting operations. During the subsequent hoisting of the tower component 3d from the tilting device to the installation site, the tower component is prone to colliding with the side panels of the L-shaped mounting seat 2d, resulting in damage to the tower component 3d.
[0056] In view of this, this embodiment provides a tower tilting device to solve the problem that the tower body is prone to collide with the tilting device during the process of the tower being lifted away from the tilting device and moved to the installation site, causing damage to the tower.
[0057] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 13 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tower tilting device is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes: a first support part 1, a second support part 2, a first power unit 3, etc.
[0059] The first support part 1 is adapted to be connected to the bottom of the tower 100; the second support part 2 is adapted to be connected to the side of the tower 100, and the second support part 2 is rotatably connected to the first support part 1.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support 1 is vertically positioned, and the second support 2 is horizontally positioned. The tower 100 is hoisted to a suitable position, connecting its bottom to the first support 1 and its side to the second support 2. Due to the weight of the tower 100, the second support 2 abuts against its side. Under external force, the second support 2 can transmit force to the tower 100, thus completing the installation of the tower 100 and preparing for its subsequent rotation. The rotatable connection between the first support 1 and the second support 2 facilitates the return of the second support 2 to its initial position after the tower 100 has been rotated to its final position.
[0061] Furthermore, by setting the first support part 1, the bottom side of the tower 100 is prevented from being subjected to force or being bumped during the flipping operation of the tower 100.
[0062] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the connection between the first support part 1 and the bottom of the tower 100, as long as a stable connection between the first support part 1 and the tower 100 can be achieved, ensuring the stability of the tower 100 during the flipping process.
[0063] Furthermore, a limiting structure can be provided on the second support part 2. Based on the stable connection between the first support part 1 and the tower 100, the second support part 2 can be used to assist in limiting the tower 100, thereby further improving the stability of the tower 100 installation.
[0064] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the connection form between the second support part 2 and the side of the tower 100, as long as the force transmission function of the second support part 2 to the tower 100 can be realized.
[0065] Furthermore, the first support part 1 is configured in a plate-like structure as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 7 The flange tray 101 shown.
[0066] Furthermore, the second support part 2 is configured as a plate-like structure, as shown in the figure. Figure 8 The tray 201 shown.
[0067] The first power unit 3 is connected to the second support part 2. The first power unit 3 is adapted to drive the second support part 2 so that the tower 100 is flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The first power unit 3 is also adapted to drive the second support part 2 to detach from the tower 100 when the tower 100 is in a vertical state.
[0068] Specifically, the first power unit 3 drives the second support part 2. Under the action of the first support part 1 being connected to the bottom of the tower 100, the first power unit 3 drives the support structure mainly composed of the first support part 1 and the second support part 2, further causing the tower 100, which is abutting against the second support part 2, to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the tower 100. Figure 2 The horizontal state in the middle is flipped to Figure 4 The operation is in the vertical position; after the tower 100 is rotated into place, the first power unit 3 returns to its original position, driving the second support 2 back to its original position. Figure 5 The initial position shown allows the second support 2 to detach from the tower 100 when the tower 100 is in a vertical state.
[0069] Furthermore, the first power unit 3 is configured as a hydraulic drive.
[0070] This embodiment provides a tower tilting device. Using a support structure primarily composed of a first support part 1 and a second support part 2, the tower 100 is tilted under the drive of a first power unit 3. Once the tower 100 is tilted into position, the first power unit 3 returns to its original position. Since the second support part 2 is rotatably connected to the first support part 1, the first power unit 3 can drive the second support part 2 back to its initial position. When the tower 100 is in a vertical state, the second support part 2 detaches from the tower 100. This ensures that the tower 100 does not collide with the second support part 2 during the process of lifting the tower 100 from the tilting device to the installation site, thus protecting the tower 100. This solves the problem of the tower body easily colliding with the tilting device and causing damage to the tower during the process of lifting the tower from the tilting device to the installation site.
[0071] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the tower tilting device also includes a locking structure 4 connected to the second support 2. The locking structure 4 has a locked state that locks the second support 2 to the tower 100, and an unlocked state that separates the second support 2 from the tower 100.
[0072] Specifically, when the tower 100 flips from a horizontal to a vertical position, the locking structure 4 is locked; when the first power unit 3 returns and the second support 2 disengages from the tower 100, the locking structure 4 is unlocked. By setting the locking structure 4, a stable connection can also be formed between the second support 2 and the tower 100, further improving the stability of the tower 100 installation.
[0073] Furthermore, the locking structure 4 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller, so that when it is necessary to detach the second support 2 from the tower 100, the locking structure 4 can be remotely controlled to perform an unlocking operation.
[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure 4 includes: a first connector 401, a second connector 402, and a first automatic latch 403.
[0075] The first connector 401 and the second connector 402 are directly or indirectly connected to the second support part 2, respectively. The first connector 401 and the second connector 402 are adapted to be arranged around the outer periphery of the tower 100. The first automatic pin 403 is movably connected to the first connector 401 and the second connector 402. The first automatic pin 403 is adapted to connect the first connector 401 and the second connector 402 when the tower 100 is in a horizontal state, and the first automatic pin 403 is adapted to separate the first connector 401 and the second connector 402 when the tower 100 is in a vertical state.
[0076] Specifically, the first connector 401 and the second connector 402 are circumferentially arranged around the tower 100, and in conjunction with the movable connection of the first automatic pin 403, the tower 100 and the second support 2 are detachably and stably connected in the circumferential direction of the tower 100, thereby improving the stability of the tower 100 installation.
[0077] Furthermore, the first automatic latch 403 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller, enabling the first automatic latch 403 to be remotely unlocked by the first connector 401 and the second connector 402. When it is necessary to detach the second support 2 from the tower 100, the first automatic latch 403 can be remotely controlled to perform the unlocking operation.
[0078] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the structural form of the first connector 401 and the second connector 402, as long as the first connector 401 and the second connector 402 can achieve circumferential enclosure of the tower 100.
[0079] In one embodiment, the first connector 401 and the second connector 402 are configured as two identical rigid semicircular rings, with one end of each ring rotatably connected to the second support 2, and the other end of each ring being movably connected via the first automatic pin 403.
[0080] In another embodiment, the first connector 401 is configured as a limiting structure connected to the second support part 2 and corresponding to the tower 100. The limiting structure abuts against the lower semicircle of the outer periphery of the tower 100 by the gravity of the tower 100 itself. Connectors are provided at both ends of the limiting structure to surround the upper semicircle of the outer periphery of the tower 100. The limiting structure and the connectors are movably connected by the first automatic pin 403.
[0081] In one embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the first connector 401 is configured as an arc-shaped bracket 404, the second connector 402 is configured as a strap 405 that is movably connected to the arc-shaped bracket 404, and the first automatic latch 403 is configured as a telescopic cylinder 406.
[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the arc in the arc-shaped bracket 404 corresponds to the outer peripheral contour of the tower 100. One end of the binding strap 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped bracket 404, and the other end of the binding strap 405 is movably connected to the other side of the arc-shaped bracket 404 via a telescopic hydraulic cylinder 406; as shown Figure 1 As shown, the arc-shaped bracket 404 is connected to the second support part 2 and is set at multiple positions on the second support part 2, thereby limiting the tower 100 and further improving the stability of the tower 100 installation.
[0083] Furthermore, the telescopic cylinder 406 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller. When it is necessary to detach the second support 2 from the tower 100, the telescopic cylinder 406 can be remotely controlled to perform an unlocking operation.
[0084] When the telescopic rod 4061 of the telescopic cylinder 406 extends, it connects with the strap 405, fixing the strap 405 to the arc-shaped bracket 404; when the telescopic rod 4061 of the telescopic cylinder 406 retracts, it separates from the strap 405, separating the strap 405 from the arc-shaped bracket 404.
[0085] Specifically, the side where the arc-shaped bracket 404 is movably connected to the strap 405 forms a shape resembling... Figure 10 , Figure 11The device shown has two bracket-shaped mounting parts. The cylinder body 4062 of the telescopic cylinder 406 is mounted on one of the brackets, and the telescopic rod 4061 of the telescopic cylinder 406 is adapted to reciprocate along the cylinder body 4062. The end of the strap 405 used for movable connection is provided with a mounting ring. When the tower 100 is in a horizontal state and is to be fixed on the tower tilting device, the mounting ring is manually threaded onto the telescopic rod 4061. When the telescopic rod 4061 moves and abuts against the other bracket of the cylinder body 4062, the telescopic cylinder 406 stops moving, thus achieving a stable connection between the strap 405 and the arc-shaped bracket 404. When it is necessary to detach the second support part 2 from the tower 100, the telescopic cylinder 406 is remotely controlled by the controller to make the telescopic cylinder 406 perform a return movement. The mounting ring on the strap 405 falls off the telescopic rod 4061, releasing the connection between the second support part 2 and the tower 100, so that the first power unit 3 can drive the second support part 2 back to the initial position.
[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the tower tilting device also includes a locking structure 5 adapted to abut against the first support 1. When the tower 100 is tilted into a vertical position and the first support 1 is lowered into a horizontal position, the locking structure 5 limits the first support 1, thereby improving the stability of the tower 100 when it is in a vertical position.
[0087] Locking structure 5 Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, it includes: a pressure plate bracket 501, a pressure plate component 502, and a second power unit 503.
[0088] The pressure plate 502 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate bracket 501; the second power unit 503 is connected to the pressure plate 502 for force transmission, and the second power unit 503 is adapted to drive the pressure plate 502 to rotate so that the pressure plate 502 abuts against the first support part 1.
[0089] Specifically, the pressure plate 502 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate bracket 501 at its middle position. The power output end of the second power unit 503 is rotatably connected to one end of the pressure plate 502, and the other end of the pressure plate 502 moves upward or downward through simple transmission. When it is necessary to limit the first support part 1, the second power unit 503 drives the end of the pressure plate 502 that is close to the first support part 1 to move downward, so that it abuts against the first support part 1, thereby achieving the limiting operation of the first support part 1; when it is necessary to release the limiting effect on the first support part 1, the second power unit 503 drives the end of the pressure plate 502 that is close to the first support part 1 to move upward, so that it separates from the first support part 1, thereby releasing the limiting effect on the first support part 1.
[0090] Furthermore, the second power unit 503 is configured as a hydraulic drive.
[0091] Furthermore, the hydraulic drive component of the second power unit 503 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller, which remotely controls the locking structure 5 to perform limit operation and release operation on the first support part 1.
[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first support part 1 is configured as a flange tray 101 with a plurality of through holes 102. The through holes 102 are corresponding to the flange structure at the bottom of the tower 100, and the through holes 102 and the flange structure are connected by bolts.
[0093] Specifically, the bottom of the tower 100 is provided with a flange structure for easy installation and connection. A corresponding through hole 102 is provided on the first support part 1 which is plate-shaped. By bolting, the bottom of the tower 100 is fixed to the first support part 1, ensuring that the tower tilting device can perform anti-tilting operation on the tower 100.
[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tower tilting device also includes a first bracket 202 connected to the second support 2, and the first bracket 202 is adapted to be movably connected to the first support 1 via a second automatic pin 104.
[0095] Specifically, by setting the first support 202, the first support part 1 and the second support part 2 are connected by the second automatic pin 104 when the tower 100 is tilted, forming a stable triangular structure between the first support part 1 and the second support part 2, thereby improving the stability of the tower tilting device during operation.
[0096] Furthermore, the second automatic latch 104 has the same structural principle as the first automatic latch 403, and will not be described in detail here.
[0097] Furthermore, the second automatic latch 104 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller, enabling the second automatic latch 104 to be remotely locked or unlocked. During the fixing process before the tower 100 is flipped, the first bracket 202 is automatically locked to the first support part 1; when it is necessary to detach the second support part 2 from the tower 100, the second automatic latch 104 is remotely controlled to perform the unlocking operation.
[0098] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the tower tilting device also includes a second bracket 203 connected to the second support 2. The second bracket 203 extends away from the second support 2. The first power unit 3 is configured as a lifting cylinder 301. The movable end of the lifting cylinder 301 is rotatably connected to one side of the extended second bracket 203.
[0099] Specifically, when the first power unit 3 is set as a lifting cylinder 301, by setting a second bracket 203, the lifting cylinder 301 is connected to the second support part 2 from the side rather than from the bottom surface of the second support part 2. This provides installation space for the force transmission connection between the lifting cylinder 301 and the second support part 2, while ensuring that the tower 100 can be placed horizontally.
[0100] Furthermore, the lifting cylinder 301 is set to remote control mode via a communication connection controller, enabling the lifting cylinder 301 to operate remotely.
