Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of large-scale marine equipment manufacturing, and in particular to a manufacturing process for a large-scale pile gripper with gantry travel. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, rapid socioeconomic development has led to a rapid increase in global energy demand, driving the utilization of renewable energy. The development of offshore wind energy is a crucial component. Wind turbine pile equipment is a crucial and fundamental component of this development. As generator power increases, wind turbines are becoming increasingly large, with a trend toward further expansion. Single piles can now exceed 100 meters in length and 15 meters in diameter. With such enormous equipment size, and the uncertainties of ocean currents, waves, and tides, the demand for equipment for wind turbine installation is urgent. However, this massive increase in equipment also significantly increases its weight and size, significantly impacting the travel mechanism. The large size and thick plates create manufacturing challenges that exceed existing manufacturing capabilities. The significant welding heat generated by the thick plates increases welding deformation, making it more difficult to control structural straightness, horizontal alignment, and verticality. Structural precision and manufacturing methods have become particularly important. Currently, there is no mature manufacturing process in China for large-scale pile gripper gantry travel mechanisms.
[0003] The patent application with publication number CN109454405A discloses a process for processing and manufacturing ultra-long and ultra-wide lattice columns. The specific steps are as follows: making shoulder beams, column bases and H-shaped steel components; establishing a steel assembly frame and performing positioning and layout; lifting the standard H-shaped steel components onto the assembly frame and fixing them; assembling the various tie bar components and tie bar connecting plates; assembling the shoulder beam ends; assembling the column base ends; assembling the top cover plate, the horizontal cover plate and the sealing plate; and assembling the bottom cover plate and external small components.
[0004] The manufacturing process of the existing technology is used for the production of huge equipment. The huge welding heat increases the welding deformation, and it is difficult to control the structural straightness, horizontality and verticality. It is also not convenient to save construction time and cost during operation.
[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
