[0049] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should not be understood that the implementation of the present disclosure is limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.
[0050] The present disclosure provides an auxiliary installation tool for a wind turbine generator set. Specifically, the auxiliary installation tool may be a blade hanger for installing a blade on the top of a tower.
[0051] Specifically, the installation of blades can roughly include two methods. Method 1 is to pre-install the blades on the hub to form an impeller with the hub, and then use a blade hoist to lift the impeller to install the impeller on the top of the tower; Method 2 is to pre-install the hub on the top of the tower, and then use a blade hoist to lift multiple blades separately and install them on the hub.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 The present disclosure provides a blade hanger, which includes a fixture main beam 20 and a blade clamping unit 10 connected to both ends of the fixture main beam 20. The blade clamping unit 10 is mainly used to clamp the blade to prevent the blade 1 from being separated from the blade hanger. The fixture main beam 20 is mainly used to bear the weight of the blade and the weight of the blade clamping unit 10.
[0053] As an example, the blade hanger in this embodiment further includes a sling 30 and a hanging beam 40, and the fixture main beam 20 can be connected to the hanging beam 40 through the sling 30, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The hanging beam 40 is used to connect with a large lifting tool such as a crane, that is, the blade hanger provided by the present disclosure can be used in conjunction with a large lifting tool.
[0054] In order to facilitate the adjustment and balance of the blade hanger, the hanging beam 40 also includes a crossbeam 41, a longitudinal beam 42, and a telescopic member 43 connected between the crossbeam 41 and the longitudinal beam 42. The crossbeam 41 is arranged roughly parallel to the fixture main beam 20, and the bottom end of the longitudinal beam 42 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 41, and the top end of the longitudinal beam 42 can be used to connect large hangers such as cranes. The two ends of the telescopic member 43 are respectively hinged on the crossbeam 41 and the longitudinal beam 42 to adjust the angle between the crossbeam 41 and the longitudinal beam 42, thereby adjusting the angle between the fixture main beam 20 and the horizontal plane, for example but not limited to, it can be used for axe correction or adjustment of a large turning angle of the unit. As an example, the telescopic member 43 can be a telescopic cylinder, or a screw assembly, but it is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the telescopic member 43 includes a hydraulic cylinder as an example for explanation, but it is not limited to this. It can be understood that the telescopic member 43 can also be a pneumatic cylinder.
[0055] In order to facilitate adjustment of the angle between the fixture main beam 20 and the horizontal plane, the slings 30 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of slings 30 are respectively connected to the two ends of the beam 41, so as to be respectively connected to the two ends of the fixture main beam 20, but not limited thereto.
[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The blade hanger provided by the present invention includes a pair of blade clamping units 10, which are respectively used to clamp the root and tip of the blade to keep the blade balanced during the lifting process and prevent the blade 1 from accidentally detaching from the blade hanger, thereby improving the reliability of the blade hanger.
[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 Specifically, the blade clamping unit 10 includes a frame 11, a base 12, a pressure arm 13 and a blade clamping block 14, wherein the base 12 and the pressure arm 13 are relatively arranged on the frame 11 to clamp the upper surface and the lower surface of the blade respectively.

As an example, one end of the pressure arm seat 131 is rotatably connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the pressure arm seat 131 can be close to the base 12 or away from the base 12. When the other end of the pressure arm seat 131 swings in a direction away from the base 12, the space between the pressure arm 13 and the base 12 increases to facilitate the placement of the blade 1 in the space. When the blade 1 is placed in the space, the other end of the pressure arm seat 131 can swing toward the base 12 to reduce the space between the pressure arm 13 and the base 12 until the pressure arm 13 and the base 12 are firmly attached to the outer surface of the blade 1, respectively, so that the blade clamping unit 10 is clamped on the blade 1.
[0060] In this embodiment, the pressure arm seat 131 is rotatably connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the pressure arm seat 131 can swing close to the base 12 or swing away from the base 12, so that the space between the pressure arm 13 and the base 12 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the function of clamping the blade 1 or releasing the blade 1.

The blade clamp 14 has a fitting surface that fits the surface of the blade 1, so that the blade clamp 14 can be firmly fitted on the surface of the blade 1.
[0064] The telescopic arm 132 is movably connected to the pressure arm seat 131, and can be extended or retracted relative to the pressure arm seat 131 along the extension direction of the pressure arm seat 131, so that the length of the pressure arm 13 in the extension direction thereof is adjustable, and the blade clamping block 14 is driven to move relative to the frame 11, so as to adapt to different blades 1. In this embodiment, the telescopic arm 132 is extended or retracted relative to the pressure arm seat 131 along the extension direction of the pressure arm seat 131, so that the length of the pressure arm 13 in the extension direction thereof is adjustable, thereby improving the versatility of the blade clamping unit 10, so as to be able to adapt to different blades 1.

Optionally, the angle between the extension direction of the telescopic support member 123 and the extension direction of the bottom support seat 121 is in the range of 30°-60°, for example but not limited to, the angle can be 45°, but not limited thereto.
[0091] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The elastic member 1222 extends substantially along the extension direction of the fixture main beam 20, and the first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the fixture main beam 20. In this embodiment, the first direction is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the fixture main beam 20, but is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the elastic member 1222 includes a rubber member to avoid scratching the blade 1.
[0092] In order to further improve the versatility of the base 12, the end of the vertical plate 1221 away from the elastic member 1222 forms a first arc along the extension direction of the receiving groove, and the bottom of the receiving groove forms a second arc along the extension direction of the receiving groove, and the curvature radius of the first arc is not greater than the curvature radius of the second arc.
[0093] As an example, the bottom support seat 121 includes a bottom support plate, each plate 1221 corresponds to a pair of bottom support plates, the pair of bottom support plates are parallel and spaced apart along the extension direction of the elastic member 1222, and the receiving groove is arranged between the pair of bottom support plates, that is, the pair of bottom support plates form a double-layer web structure, each bottom support plate extends along the first direction, so that the receiving groove extends along the first direction, and the receiving groove forms a double-layer web hollow structure.
[0094] The base bracket 12 provided by the present disclosure swings relative to the base bracket seat 121 with the connection point between the telescopic support member 123 and the base bracket body 122 as the rotation axis. Under the drive of the telescopic support member 123, the vertical plate 1221 can contact different parts of the bottom of the receiving groove to adapt to different blades 1. Furthermore, the end of the vertical plate 1221 away from the elastic member 1222 forms a first arc along the extension direction of the receiving groove, and the bottom of the receiving groove forms a second arc along the extension direction of the receiving groove. The curvature radius of the first arc is not greater than the curvature radius of the second arc, which further improves the versatility of the base bracket 12.
[0095] Reference Figures 6 to 9 In order to further improve the reliability of the base 12, the elastic member 1222 is swingably connected to the vertical plate 1221 so as to better fit the outer surface of the blade 1. The vertical plate 1221 is arranged at both ends of the elastic member 1222 to support the two ends of the elastic member 1222, but not limited to this.
[0096] As an example, the elastic member 1222 extends along the second direction, and the second direction is parallel to the extension direction of the fixture main beam 20, but is not limited thereto. The vertical plates 1221 are arranged in pairs, and a pair of vertical plates 1221 are respectively supported at both ends of the extension direction of the elastic member 1222, and a vertical plate slot 1224 is arranged on the top of the vertical plate 1221, and the elastic member 1222 is provided with a clamping rib 1225 matching the vertical plate slot 1224, and the clamping rib 1225 is rotatably arranged in the vertical plate slot 1224, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0097] In this embodiment, the clamping rib 1225 is rotatably disposed in the vertical plate slot 1224, so that the elastic member 1222 is rotatably supported on the vertical plate 1221. For example but not limited to, the vertical plate slot 1224 is recessed downward from the top wall of the vertical plate 1221, but not limited to this.
[0098] In order to accurately measure the angle between the blade 1 and the horizontal plane, an angle sensor 147 is provided on the base 12. As an example, the angle sensor 147 can be a horizontal inclinometer for testing the angle between the base 12 and the horizontal plane. Optionally, a plurality of angle sensors 147 are provided along the circumference of the base body 122 (not shown) for measuring the angle between the base body 122 and the horizontal plane. Considering that the base body 122 is roughly parallel to the surface of the blade, the inclination angle of the surface of the blade can be obtained.
[0099] Furthermore, the blade clamping unit 10 also includes a controller and a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of the clamp block body 144 and / or the base body 122, the controller can receive the angle information detected by the angle sensor 147 and the pressure information detected by the pressure sensor, and control the start and stop of the pressure arm drive 15 and / or the start and stop of the telescopic support 123 according to the angle information and the pressure information.
[0100] The blade clamping unit 10 provided by the present disclosure can extend or retract relative to the pressure arm seat 131 along the extension direction of the pressure arm seat 131 through the telescopic arm 132, so that the length of the pressure arm 13 in its extension direction is adjustable, driving the blade clamping block 14 to move relative to the frame 11, thereby adapting to different blades 1, and improving the versatility of the blade clamping unit 10. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the clamping block unit is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 141, and the connecting seat 141 is connected to the telescopic arm 132, so that the clamping block unit can swing relative to the pressure arm 13, so that the clamping block unit can be adjusted with the position of the web and the main beam of the blade 1, thereby improving the versatility of the blade clamping unit 10.
[0101] Furthermore, the base support 12 can achieve fine adjustment after the blade 1 is clamped. The transport axis angle of the blade 1 during transportation is generally not greater than 2 degrees, so the adjustment structure of the base support 12 can accurately achieve this function. Furthermore, angle sensors 147 are respectively set on the base support body 122 and the clamp block body 144 to measure the angle between the base support body 122 and the clamp block body 144 in the horizontal plane, so as to obtain the inclination angle of the pressure surface and the suction surface of the blade. The controller determines the blade axis angle according to the measured angle and the clamping position, and controls the posture of the clamp main beam, so as to accurately achieve seamless conversion of the blade axis angle between the transportation state and the hoisting state, realize efficient and safe hoisting, and reduce costs at the same time.
