[0002] With the increasing installed capacity of wind turbines and the increasing service life of wind turbines, more and more units require blade replacement. Currently, blade replacement for wind turbines is typically performed using large truck cranes, while large-megawatt high-tower wind turbines require crawler cranes, and offshore wind turbines require outrigger boats. However, the use of large lifting equipment not only incurs high costs but is also subject to environmental constraints.

[0047] Specifically, the tensioning rope device for tower crane includes:

[0050] a power unit 6 connected to the steel wire rope 31 and used to release or tighten the steel wire rope 31 , including a roller 61 for discharging or winding the steel wire rope 31 ;

[0051] The rope tensioning mechanism 4 includes a transverse rope structure 41 and a tensioning structure 42. The transverse rope structure 41 is arranged in the plane where the power unit 6 is located and is arranged parallel to the power unit 6. The tensioning structure 42 is arranged on the transverse rope structure 41. The transverse rope structure 41 is suitable for driving the tensioning structure 42 to move laterally, so that the wire rope 31 wound from the power unit 6 remains in a state of extending along the tangential direction of the roller 61 and passes through the tensioning structure 42.

[0052] The tensioning structure 42 includes a driven friction wheel 421, an active friction wheel 422, and a drive unit 423 arranged side by side. The steel wire rope 31 passes between the driven friction wheel 421 and the active friction wheel 422. The drive unit 423 is connected to the active friction wheel 422. The drive unit 423 drives the active friction wheel 422 to approach the driven friction wheel 421, pressing the steel wire rope 35 against the driven friction wheel 421 to tension the steel wire rope 31.

[0053] When hoisting the tower crane 3, one end of the wire rope 31 is connected to the boom of the tower crane 3, and the other end passes through the adjusting pulley group of the tower crane 3, the main hoisting pulley of the hoisting equipment 7, the reversing mechanism 5 and the tensioning structure 42 in sequence to be connected to the power unit 6. The hoisting equipment 7 is arranged on the nacelle 2 at the top of the tower 1. The power unit 6 tightens the wire rope 31, and the tensioning structure 42 tensions the wire rope 31. The transverse rope arrangement structure 41 moves in the direction in which the wire rope 31 is wound on the roller 61, so that the wire rope 31 is gradually wound and arranged along the tangential direction of the roller 61, so that the wire rope 31 is orderly wound and arranged on the roller 61 in sequence.

[0054] In some embodiments, the tensioning structure 42 also includes a first base 424, and the driven friction wheel 421 is installed on one end of the first base 424 through a first mounting seat 4211. The driven friction wheel 421 can rotate in the first mounting seat 4211 along with the driven shaft 4212 set at its center; the active friction wheel 422 is connected to the driving unit 423 through a second mounting seat 4221 and then installed on the other end of the first base 424. The active friction wheel 422 can rotate in the second mounting seat 4221 along with the driving shaft 4222 set at its center; the driving unit 423 drives the active friction wheel 422 to approach or move away from the driven friction wheel 421.

[0055] In some implementations, the driving unit 423 is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0056] In some embodiments, a braking structure 43 is provided on the first mounting seat 4211 and the second mounting seat 4221. The braking structure 43 includes a friction plate 431 that surrounds the driven shaft 4212 or the driving shaft 4222 to provide a resistance torque. The resistance torque is adjusted by adjusting the force with which the friction plate 431 grips the driven shaft 4212 or the driving shaft 4222, thereby adjusting the pre-tightening force applied to the wire rope 31 by the driving friction wheel 422 and the driven friction wheel 421.

[0057] In some embodiments, the friction plate 431 is provided with a notch, and the friction plate 431 is provided with connecting ears at both ends of the notch, and a bolt 432 is passed through the connecting ear, and the bolt 432 passes through the two connecting ears, the spring 433 and the locking nut 434 in sequence. The strength of the friction plate 431 to clamp the driven shaft 4212 or the driving shaft 4222 is adjusted by adjusting the depth of the bolt 432 screwed into the locking nut 434; the depth of the adjusting bolt 432 screwed into the locking nut 434 can be manually adjusted so that the pre-tightening force given to the wire rope 31 by the active friction wheel 422 and the driven friction wheel 421 is the set value.

[0058] In some embodiments, the bolt 432 is connected to an adjustment motor 435, which drives the locking nut 434 to rotate and thereby adjusts the depth of the bolt 432 screwed into the locking nut 434, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the force with which the friction plate 431 holds the driven shaft 4212 or the driving shaft 4222, and thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the pre-tightening force given to the wire rope 31 by the active friction wheel 422 and the driven friction wheel 421.

[0059] In some embodiments, a guide structure 44 is provided on at least one side of the first base 424. The guide structure 44 is laterally located between the driven friction wheel 421 and the active friction wheel 422. The guide structure 44 includes a first guide wheel 441 and a second guide wheel 442 that are vertically arranged. The wire rope 31 passes between the first guide wheel 441 and the second guide wheel 442 to guide the wire rope 31 and prevent the wire rope 31 from escaping.

[0060] In some embodiments, a three-wheel force measuring structure 45 is provided on one side of the first base 424. The three-wheel force measuring structure 45 is located laterally between the driven friction wheel 421 and the active friction wheel 422. The three-wheel force measuring structure 45 includes a force measuring wheel 451, a first auxiliary wheel 452 and a second auxiliary wheel 453 arranged in a herringbone shape. The force measuring wheel 451 is arranged in the middle position above the first auxiliary wheel 452 and the second auxiliary wheel 453. The wire rope 31 passes between the force measuring wheel 451 and the first auxiliary wheel 452 and the second auxiliary wheel 453. The force measuring wheel 451 is connected to a sensor. The sensor detects the tension applied to the wire rope 31. The pressure applied to the wire rope 31 by the active friction wheel 422 and the driven friction wheel 421 can be adjusted according to the tension applied to the wire rope 31, thereby realizing closed-loop adjustment of the pressure of the wire rope 31. The principle of the three-wheel force measuring structure 45 detecting the tension of the wire rope 31 is existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0061] In some embodiments, the transverse rope arrangement structure 41 includes a second base 411, a transverse motor 412, a screw 413 and a screw nut 414. The screw nut 414 is connected to the first base 424 of the tensioning structure 42. The screw nut 414 is arranged on the screw 413, and the screw 413 is arranged on the second base 411. The transverse motor 412 drives the screw 413 to rotate, thereby driving the tensioning structure 42 to move along the screw 413 with the screw nut 414; the moving direction and moving speed of the screw nut 414 match the rope collection direction and rope collection speed of the power unit 6, so that the wire rope 31 is gradually wound and arranged along the tangential direction of the roller 61.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the transmission structure of the lead screw 413 and the lead screw nut 414 of the transverse rope structure 41 can be replaced with a transmission method such as a pulley or chain, which can drive the tensioning structure 42 to move laterally and the moving direction and speed can be adjusted.

[0063] In some embodiments, a reversing sensor 62 is provided in the power unit 6. When the wire rope 31 is wound around one end of the roller 61, the reversing sensor 62 is triggered. The reversing sensor 62 gives a reversing signal to the transverse rope structure 41. The transverse rope structure 41 switches the moving direction and moves toward the other end of the roller 61.

[0064] In some embodiments, the reversing mechanism 5 includes a third base 51, a reversing frame 52 and a reversing pulley 53. The reversing pulley 53 is installed on the reversing frame 52 and can rotate freely in the reversing frame 52. The reversing frame 52 is hinged to the third base 51. The pitch angle of the reversing frame 52 relative to the third base 51 can be freely adjusted. During the process of hoisting the crane 3, the reversing frame 52 is automatically adjusted as the hoisting height of the crane 3 changes.

[0065] To sum up, the present invention sets up a rope tensioning mechanism 4 including a transverse rope-laying structure 41 and a tensioning structure 42. The tensioning structure 42 tensions the wire rope 31 passing through it and provides a certain pre-tightening force, so as to prevent problems such as rope tangling and rope trapping when the power unit 6 tightens the wire rope 31. When the crane 3 is working and the load on the hook is light and insufficient to provide the required pre-tightening force, the pre-tightening force of the wire rope 31 can be provided by the tensioning mechanism. The transverse rope-laying structure 41 drives the tensioning structure 42 to move in the direction in which the wire rope 31 is wound on the roller 61, so that the wire rope 31 is gradually wound and arranged along the tangential direction of the roller 61. When the power unit 6 tightens the wire rope 31, the wire rope 31 is wound and arranged in order on the roller 61. This is beneficial to the lifting and normal operation of the crane 3.

[0066] Furthermore, the present invention is provided with a braking structure 43 including a friction plate 431, which can adjust the strength of the friction plate 431 to grip the driven shaft 4212 or the driving shaft 4222 by adjusting the depth of the adjusting bolt 432 screwed into the locking nut 434 by driving the locking nut 434 driven by the adjusting motor 435, thereby adjusting the pre-tightening force applied to the wire rope 31, which is conducive to the orderly relaxation and tightening of the wire rope 31.

[0067] Furthermore, the present invention sets a force measuring structure on the tensioning structure 42, and adjusts the pressure applied to the wire rope 31 by the active friction wheel 422 and the driven friction wheel 421 through the tension of the wire rope 31 fed back by the force measuring structure, thereby realizing closed-loop regulation of the pressure of the wire rope 31.

[0068] Furthermore, the present invention provides a reversing sensor 62 in the power unit 6 , so that when the wire rope 31 is wound around one end of the roller 61 , the wire rope 31 is automatically reversed and wound, which is beneficial to the orderly tightening of the wire rope 31 .

The feature examples provided in the present disclosure are intended to be illustrative, not limiting, unless otherwise stated.
