Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular, to a device for arranging spoiler blocks and a method for installing spoiler blocks. Background Art

[0002] As a clean, environmentally friendly and renewable energy source, wind energy has attracted more and more attention, and wind turbines have also become a research hotspot in the new energy field. To ensure the safe operation of wind turbines, it is usually necessary to install spoiler blocks on the surface of wind turbines to reduce the damage caused by vortex-induced vibration to wind turbines.

[0003] Currently, the installation of spoiler blocks usually adopts manual operation. Workers are transported to high places through hanging baskets or ropes, and then the spoiler blocks are installed on the surface of the tower barrel. However, this installation method has a high risk factor and low work efficiency, which is not conducive to the rapid development of the wind power generation field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a device for arranging spoiler blocks and a method for installing spoiler blocks, which can replace manual operation, improve the arrangement efficiency of spoiler blocks, and reduce the risk factor of arranging spoiler blocks.

[0005] In a first aspect, a device for arranging spoiler blocks is provided, which is applied to the surface of a columnar structure and includes: a wall-climbing mechanism for moving along the surface of the columnar structure; a guiding cylinder connected to the wall-climbing mechanism and having two open ends for allowing the spoiler blocks to pass through. When the wall-climbing mechanism moves in a circular motion along the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder is used to guide the spoiler blocks to be arranged around the surface of the columnar structure.

[0006] The device for arranging spoiler blocks provided by the embodiments of this application can realize high-altitude operation by machines, reduce the difficulty of manually arranging spoiler blocks around the columnar structure, and improve the work efficiency and safety factor of installing spoiler blocks. Especially when the spoiler blocks need to be arranged in a circular pattern on the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder can effectively constrain the position of the spoiler blocks on the arrangement path, enabling the spoiler blocks to be arranged along a predetermined route, which is also conducive to improving the installation quality of the spoiler blocks.

[0007] In some embodiments, the guiding cylinder is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism through a first connecting member, one end of the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the wall-climbing mechanism, and the other end of the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder.

[0008] By connecting the guiding cylinder and the wall-climbing mechanism through the first connecting member, the guiding cylinder can more accurately limit the position of the spoiler blocks, which is beneficial to improving the installation accuracy of the spoiler blocks.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first connecting member includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is fixedly connected to the wall-climbing mechanism, the second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are sleeved with each other.

[0010] The ability of the guiding cylinder to rotate relative to the wall-climbing mechanism can reduce the local stress on the edge of the guiding cylinder by the spoiler, and reduce the surface scratches generated during the process of the spoiler passing through the guiding cylinder. At the same time, it can also reduce the force exerted by the spoiler on the guiding cylinder, reduce the torque borne by the first connecting member, and extend the service life of the device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first connecting member further includes a locking mechanism, and the locking mechanism is inserted into at least a part of the region where the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are sleeved with each other.

[0012] This can make the guiding cylinder have a fixed position and angle relative to the wall-climbing mechanism, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the spoiler.

[0013] In some embodiments, the wall of the guiding cylinder encloses a receiving space that penetrates the guiding cylinder in a first direction, and the cross-sectional area of at least one end region of the receiving space in the first direction is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the intermediate region between the two end regions.

[0014] On the one hand, at least one end of the guiding cylinder 20 has a larger opening, which is beneficial to guiding the spoiler to enter and exit the receiving space of the guiding cylinder 20 and improving the smoothness of the operation; on the other hand, the intermediate region of the guiding cylinder 20 is smaller, which can better achieve the positioning of the spoiler and the constraint on the spoiler, and at the same time can reduce the overall volume of the device and improve the production and transportation efficiency.

[0015] In some embodiments, the guiding cylinder includes a guiding portion and a connecting portion. The guiding portion is disposed at at least one end of the connecting portion in the first direction, and the surface of the guiding portion facing the receiving space is an inclined surface with a uniform change.

[0016] This structure is simple and easy to process, can reduce the preparation cost, and at the same time can better guide the spoiler to enter and exit the guiding cylinder, making the work of arranging the spoiler more smooth.

[0017] In some embodiments, there is at least one through hole in the wall of the guiding cylinder, and the through hole penetrates the wall of the guiding cylinder.

[0018] The through holes in the wall of the guiding cylinder can effectively reduce the wind resistance, reduce the influence of the wind force on the guiding direction of the guiding cylinder in the actual application scenario, and are beneficial to improving the arrangement accuracy of the spoiler.

[0019] In some embodiments, the device for arranging the spoiler blocks further includes: a flexible traction mechanism, a first end of the flexible traction mechanism is connected to the columnar structure, and the flexible traction mechanism passes through the two ends of the guiding cylinder for connecting at least one of the spoiler blocks.

[0020] The spoiler blocks can pass through the accommodating space together with the flexible traction mechanism, so as to realize the sequential arrangement of the spoiler blocks on the wall of the columnar structure.

[0021] In some embodiments, a bonding structure is provided at the second end of the flexible traction mechanism. The second end is along the flexible traction mechanism away from the first end. The bonding structure includes a first bonding part and a second bonding part, and the male and female surfaces of the first bonding part and the second bonding part on the same side are opposite.

[0022] This can simplify the fixing method of the spoiler blocks and improve the installation efficiency of the spoiler blocks.

[0023] In some embodiments, the device for arranging the spoiler blocks further includes: a fixing mechanism, the fixing mechanism is arranged on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism, the fixing mechanism includes an adsorption device and a bearing part, the adsorption device is used to connect the fixing mechanism with the surface of the columnar structure, and the bearing part is connected with the adsorption device for bearing the spoiler blocks passing through the guiding cylinder.

[0024] The fixing mechanism can provide a fixing point for the arrangement of the spoiler blocks on the columnar structure, can reduce the manual operation of arranging the fixing points at high altitude, and is beneficial to improving the working efficiency and safety factor of the installation of the spoiler blocks.

[0025] In some embodiments, a baffle is arranged on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism, the baffle is arranged around the fixing mechanism, and has openings on one side facing the surface of the columnar structure and on the side facing the opposite direction of the gravity direction.

[0026] The baffle can limit the movement of the fixing mechanism in multiple directions, so that the fixing mechanism is not easily dropped from the wall-climbing mechanism when moving together with the wall-climbing mechanism, and the reliability of the overall device is improved.

[0027] In a second aspect, a method for installing spoiler blocks is provided, which is applied to the device for arranging spoiler blocks according to any one of the above first aspects, and includes: in a state where the spoiler blocks pass through the two ends of the guiding cylinder, the wall-climbing mechanism moves along the surface of the columnar structure to a preset position; the wall-climbing mechanism moves from the preset position along a first trajectory on the surface of the columnar structure, the first trajectory is circular, and the guiding cylinder guides the spoiler blocks to be arranged on the surface of the columnar structure along the first trajectory.

[0028] The method for installing the spoiler blocks provided by the embodiments of the present application can achieve high-altitude operation of the machine without transporting workers to high places, reducing the difficulty of manually arranging the spoiler blocks around the columnar structure, and improving the work efficiency and safety factor of installing the spoiler blocks. Especially when the spoiler blocks need to be arranged in a ring on the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder can effectively constrain the position of the spoiler blocks on the arrangement path of the spoiler blocks, enabling the spoiler blocks to be installed along the established route, which is also conducive to improving the installation quality of the spoiler blocks.

[0029] In some embodiments, the device includes a fixing mechanism disposed on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism. The fixing mechanism includes an adsorption device and a bearing part. The adsorption device is used to connect the fixing mechanism to the surface of the columnar structure, and the bearing part is connected to the adsorption device and is used to bear the spoiler blocks passing through the guiding cylinder.

[0030] Through the positioning of the fixing mechanism and the constraint and guidance of the guiding cylinder, the spoiler blocks can be installed along the established route, which is also conducive to improving the installation quality of the spoiler blocks.

[0031] In some embodiments, the device for arranging the spoiler blocks includes a flexible traction mechanism. The first end of the flexible traction mechanism is connected to the surface of the columnar structure. The flexible traction mechanism passes through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder and is used to connect at least one of the spoiler blocks.

[0048] An embodiment of the present application provides a device for arranging spoiler blocks, which is applied to the surface of a columnar structure. For example, the columnar structure can be a wind power tower barrel.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the device includes a wall-climbing mechanism 10 and a guiding cylinder 20. Among them, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 is used to move along the surface of the columnar structure, and the guiding cylinder is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and has two open ends, and the openings are used for the spoiler blocks to pass through the guiding cylinder. When the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves in a circular motion along the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder 20 is used to guide the spoiler blocks to be arranged around the surface of the columnar structure.

[0050] A driving structure is arranged inside the wall-climbing mechanism 10, and the driving structure drives the wall-climbing mechanism 10 to move on the surface of the columnar structure. For example, the surface of the columnar structure can be the surface of a wind power tower barrel, and the movement trajectory of the wall-climbing mechanism 10 on this surface can be a straight line, or it can move around the wind power tower barrel, or it can perform a spiral movement on the surface of the wind power tower barrel at a certain angle.

[0051] The guiding cylinder 20 is arranged on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, and can maintain the same motion state as the wall-climbing mechanism 10. The guiding cylinder 20 has two open ends, and the two open ends penetrate through the inner side of the guiding cylinder 20 to form a receiving space that penetrates through the guiding cylinder 20. The receiving space can penetrate through the guiding cylinder 20 in a certain direction, or can penetrate from one side of the guiding cylinder 20 to the other side through a certain path.

[0052] The spoiler blocks can pass through the guiding cylinder 20 via the receiving space, so that the positions of the spoiler blocks are always kept inside the guiding cylinder 20, and the positions of the spoiler blocks can be changed as the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves when the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves.

[0053] In some embodiments, if the spoiler blocks need to be wound around the surface of the columnar structure, one end of the spoiler blocks is fixed on the surface of the columnar structure, and the other end passes through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder 20. The wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves in a circular motion along the surface of the columnar structure, and the guiding cylinder 20 moves in a circular motion along the surface of the columnar structure together with the wall-climbing mechanism, then the spoiler blocks passing through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder 20 are arranged in a circular shape on the surface of the columnar structure under the guidance of the guiding cylinder 20.

[0054] Among them, the ring shape can at least include a circular ring shape and a spiral shape. That is, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can move in a circular ring shape in the circumferential direction of the columnar structure, or can generate a spiral movement on the surface of the columnar structure at a certain angle.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the fixing manner of the spoiler block on the surface of the columnar structure. In a possible implementation manner, one end of the spoiler block can be manually pulled to a high position and fixed to the columnar structure. Optionally, some wall-climbing robots can be used to pull one end of the spoiler block to a high position, and then fixed manually. Optionally, the device for arranging the spoiler block provided by the embodiments of the present application can also be used to fix one end of the spoiler block on the surface of the columnar structure, and this method will be described in detail later.

[0056] The device for arranging the spoiler block provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize high-altitude operation by machine, reduce the difficulty of manually arranging the spoiler block around the columnar structure, and improve the working efficiency and safety factor of the installation of the spoiler block. Especially when the spoiler blocks need to be arranged in a circular shape on the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder can effectively constrain the position of the spoiler block on the arrangement path of the spoiler block, so that the spoiler block can be arranged according to a predetermined route, which is also beneficial to improving the installation quality of the spoiler block.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the guiding cylinder 20 is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10 through a first connecting member 21. One end of the first connecting member 21 is fixedly connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, and the other end of the first connecting member 21 is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder 20.

[0058] Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a device for arranging spoiler blocks provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the first connecting member 21 is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder 20 and the wall-climbing mechanism 10 respectively. During the movement of the wall-climbing mechanism 10, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and the guiding cylinder 20 can be approximately relatively stationary, and the two move together on the surface of the columnar structure.

[0059] By connecting the guiding cylinder 20 and the wall-climbing mechanism 10 through the first connecting member 21, the guiding cylinder 20 can more accurately limit the position of the spoiler block, which is beneficial to improving the installation accuracy of the spoiler block.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first connecting member 21 includes a first connecting portion 211 and a second connecting portion 212. The first connecting portion 211 is fixedly connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, the second connecting portion 212 is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder 20, and the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are sleeved with each other.

[0061] As Figure 2As shown, a cylindrical receiving groove (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the central position of the first connecting portion 211. The second connecting portion 212 is adapted to the receiving groove and may also be of a cylindrical structure. At least a part of the second connecting portion 212 is received in the receiving groove and can rotate in the receiving groove relative to the first connecting portion 211. The second connecting portion 212 is fixedly connected to the guiding cylinder 20. When the second connecting portion 212 rotates in the first connecting portion 211, the guiding cylinder 20 and the second connecting portion 212 rotate together, thereby realizing the relative rotation between the guiding cylinder 20 and the wall-climbing mechanism 10.

[0062] When the device for arranging the spoiler blocks moves on the surface of the cylindrical structure, on the one hand, the guiding cylinder 20 can adaptively adjust its position under the action of gravity, and on the other hand, it can also adaptively adjust its direction under the action of the spoiler blocks.

[0063] The ability of the guiding cylinder 20 to rotate relative to the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can reduce the local stress on the edge of the guiding cylinder 20 by the spoiler blocks and reduce the surface scratches generated when the spoiler blocks pass through the guiding cylinder 20. At the same time, it can also reduce the force exerted by the spoiler blocks on the guiding cylinder 20, reduce the torque borne by the first connecting member 21, and extend the service life of the device.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first connecting member 21 further includes a locking mechanism 213, and the locking mechanism 213 passes through at least a part of the region where the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are sleeved with each other.

[0065] Figure 2 A device for arranging spoiler blocks provided with a locking mechanism 213 is shown, as Figure 2 shown, the locking mechanism 213 is provided at the part where the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are sleeved with each other. When the locking mechanism 213 is actuated, it simultaneously inserts into at least a part of the regions of the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 to limit the rotation of the second connecting portion 212 relative to the first connecting portion 211.

[0066] In a possible implementation manner, the locking mechanism 213 may pass through a part of the regions of the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 along the radial direction of the second connecting portion 212. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the size of the regions passing through the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212. For example, the locking mechanism 213 may pass through the region of the first connecting portion 211 on one side of the second connecting portion 212 in the radial direction of the second connecting portion 212 and simultaneously insert into a part of the region of the second connecting portion 212. Optionally, the locking mechanism 213 may penetrate through the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212, specifically, it may penetrate through the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 along the radial direction of the second connecting portion 212.

[0067] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the working mode of the locking mechanism 213. For example, the locking mechanism 213 can be an electric locking mechanism or a manual locking mechanism. The embodiments of the present application also do not limit the working stage of the locking mechanism 213. For example, during the process of arranging the spoiler block, according to the adaptive adjustment of the guide cylinder 20, the locking mechanism 213 can be controlled to actuate at a suitable position and / or angle to limit the relative rotation between the guide cylinder 20 and the wall-climbing mechanism 10, thereby improving the smoothness during the installation process of the spoiler block. For another example, before arranging the spoiler block, the position and / or angle of the guide cylinder 20 on the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can be preset in advance, and the locking mechanism 213 can be controlled to actuate to limit the relative rotation between the guide cylinder 20 and the wall-climbing mechanism 10. In this way, during the process of arranging the spoiler block, the guide cylinder 20 has a fixed position and angle relative to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the spoiler block.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the wall of the guide cylinder 20 encloses a receiving space that penetrates the guide cylinder 20 along the first direction Y, and the cross-sectional area of at least one end region of the receiving space along the first direction Y is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the intermediate region between the two end regions.

[0069] The receiving space is enclosed by the wall of the guide cylinder 20, and the cross-sectional area of the receiving space refers to the area that the receiving space has on a plane perpendicular to the first direction Y. In the embodiments of the present application, the guide cylinder 20 has two open ends in the first direction Y, and the cross-sectional area of the receiving space at at least one open end is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area at any position between the two ends. The cross-sectional area of the receiving space of the guide cylinder 20 can change uniformly. For example, it can gradually decrease uniformly from one end of the guide cylinder 20 to the other end. In a possible implementation manner, the two open ends of the guide cylinder 20 are larger, and the cross-sectional area of the receiving space of the guide cylinder 20 can gradually decrease from the two ends to the middle.

[0070] On the one hand, at least one open end of the guide cylinder 20 is larger, which is beneficial to guiding the spoiler into and out of the receiving space of the guide cylinder 20 and improving the smoothness of the operation; on the other hand, the middle region of the guide cylinder 20 is smaller, which can better achieve the positioning of the spoiler and the constraint on the spoiler, and at the same time can also reduce the overall volume of the device and improve the production and transportation efficiency.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the guide cylinder 20 includes a guiding portion 22 and a connecting portion 23. The guiding portion 22 is arranged at both ends of the connecting portion 23 along the first direction Y, and the surface of the guiding portion 22 facing the receiving space is an inclined surface with uniform change.

[0072] In a specific implementation manner, the guiding portion 22 can enclose a frustum-shaped receiving space, and the guiding portion 22 can enclose a cylindrical receiving space.

[0073] This structure is simple and easy to process, which can reduce the preparation cost. At the same time, it can better guide the spoiler block in and out of the guiding cylinder 20, making the work of arranging the spoiler block smoother.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, there is at least one through hole 24 on the wall of the guiding cylinder 20, and the through hole 24 penetrates the wall of the guiding cylinder 20.

[0075] Figure 3 The structure of arranging the through hole 24 on the wall of the guiding cylinder 20 is shown. As Figure 3 shown, at least one through hole 24 can be evenly arranged on the wall of the guiding cylinder 20. In a possible implementation manner, a plurality of through holes 24 are arranged on the wall of the guiding cylinder 20, and the plurality of through holes penetrate the guiding cylinder 20 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction Y.

[0076] The through hole 24 on the wall of the guiding cylinder 20 can effectively reduce the wind resistance and reduce the influence of the wind force on the guiding direction of the guiding cylinder 20 in the actual application scenario, which is beneficial to improving the arrangement accuracy of the spoiler block.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the device for arranging the spoiler block further includes a flexible traction mechanism 40. The first end 41 of the flexible traction mechanism 40 is connected to the columnar structure. The flexible traction mechanism 40 passes through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder 20 and is used to connect at least one spoiler block.

[0078] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the flexible traction mechanism 40 passing through the guiding cylinder 20 is shown. Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the flexible traction mechanism 40 connected with at least one spoiler block is shown. As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first end 41 of the flexible traction mechanism 40 is fixed on the surface of the columnar structure (not shown in the figure), providing a fixed point for the installation of the spoiler block; the body of the flexible traction mechanism 40 can string up the spoiler blocks and pass through the guiding cylinder 20 through the opening of the guiding cylinder 20. During the movement of the wall-climbing mechanism 10, the flexible traction mechanism 40 passes through the accommodating space of the guiding cylinder 20 under the guidance of the guiding cylinder 20, and the spoiler blocks also pass through the accommodating space together with the flexible traction mechanism 40, so as to realize the arrangement of the spoiler blocks on the surface of the columnar structure in sequence.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the second end 42 of the flexible traction mechanism 40 is provided with an adhesive structure 43. The second end 42 is along the flexible traction mechanism 40 away from the first end 41. The adhesive structure 43 includes a first adhesive part 431 and a second adhesive part 432, and the male and female surfaces of the first adhesive part 431 and the second adhesive part 432 on the same side are opposite.

[0080] AsFigure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , the bonding structure 43 is provided at the end of the flexible traction mechanism 40 and includes a first bonding portion 431 and a second bonding portion 432. The male and female surfaces of the bonding structure 43 refer to the two mutually cooperating surfaces on the bonding structure 43 when bonding on both sides. For example, the hook surface and the loop surface in Velcro are mutually male and female surfaces. In the embodiment of the present application, the first bonding portion 431 and the second bonding portion 432 are continuously provided, and the male and female surfaces on the same side of the two are opposite. The lengths of the first bonding portion 431 and the second bonding portion 432 are related to the cross-sectional diameter of the columnar structure. Specifically, the length of the first bonding portion 431 is the perimeter of the position on the columnar structure that needs to be fixed. In this way, when the wall-climbing mechanism 10 drives the first bonding portion 431 to surround the tower barrel in a circle, one of the male and female surfaces of the first bonding portion 431 can be exposed. When the wall-climbing mechanism 10 continues to surround, the other of the male and female surfaces of the second bonding portion 432 can be bonded to the first bonding portion 431, thereby realizing the fixation of the spoiler. Among them, the length of the second bonding structure 43 can be less than or equal to the length of the first bonding structure 43.

[0081] This can simplify the fixing method of the spoiler and improve the installation efficiency of the spoiler.

[0082] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the device for arranging the spoiler may further include a fixing mechanism 30. The fixing mechanism 30 is provided on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10. The fixing mechanism 30 includes an adsorption device 31 and a bearing portion 32. The adsorption device 31 is used to connect the fixing mechanism 30 to the surface of the columnar structure, and the bearing portion 32 is connected to the adsorption device 31 and is used to bear the spoiler passing through the guiding cylinder 20.

[0083] The fixing mechanism 30 refers to a structure that provides a fixing point during the process of arranging the spoiler. The fixing mechanism 30 is provided on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and can move to a preset position along with the movement of the wall-climbing mechanism 10.

[0084] Figure 6 The schematic structural diagram showing that the device for arranging the spoiler includes the fixing mechanism 30 is as Figure 6 shown. The fixing mechanism 30 includes an adsorption device 31, which can connect the fixing mechanism 30 to the surface of the columnar structure at a preset position, so that the fixing mechanism 30 can be maintained at the preset position on the surface of the columnar structure. The adsorption device 31 can be, for example, a magnetic adsorption device, which can adsorb on the surface of the columnar structure made of metal material. Optionally, the adsorption device 31 can also be a suction cup, an adhesive, etc., which can realize the connection between the fixing mechanism 30 and the surface of the columnar structure.

[0085] The fixing mechanism 30 further includes a bearing portion 32, and the bearing portion 32 is connected to the adsorption device 31. In one embodiment, the two can be fixedly connected. When it is necessary to install the spoiler, one end of the spoiler can be connected to the bearing portion 32, and the position where the bearing portion 32 is located serves as a fixed point. Under the constraint of the guiding cylinder 20, with the helical movement of the wall-climbing mechanism 10, the installation of the spoiler is achieved. In some embodiments, the bearing portion 32 can be, for example, a lifting eye bolt. When the device for arranging the spoiler includes a flexible traction mechanism, the spoiler can be connected to the bearing portion through the flexible traction mechanism.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and the fixing mechanism 30 can be connected in a separable manner. After the wall-climbing mechanism 10 transports the fixing mechanism 30 to a preset position on the surface of the columnar structure, it can be separated from the fixing mechanism 30, and then the fixing mechanism 30 remains at the preset position as a fixed point for arranging the spoiler. One end of the spoiler is fixed on the bearing portion 32 of the fixing mechanism 30, and the other end passes through the accommodating space of the guiding cylinder 20. With the movement of the wall-climbing mechanism 10, the spoiler sequentially passes through the accommodating space of the guiding cylinder 20, resists the gravity under the constraint of the guiding cylinder 20, and keeps consistent with the movement path of the wall-climbing mechanism 10, and remains on the movement path of the wall-climbing mechanism 10.

[0087] The fixing mechanism 30 can provide a fixed point for arranging the spoiler on the columnar structure, which can reduce the manual operation of arranging the fixed point at high altitude, and is beneficial to improving the working efficiency and safety factor of the spoiler installation.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, a baffle 11 is provided on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10. The baffle 11 is arranged around the fixing mechanism 30 and has openings on one side facing the surface of the columnar structure and on the side opposite to the direction of gravity.

[0089] As Figure 7 shown, a baffle 11 can be provided around the fixing mechanism 30. The baffle 11 encloses to form an accommodating area, and at least part of the fixing mechanism 30 is accommodated in the accommodating area. The baffle 11 can limit the movement of the fixing mechanism 30 in multiple directions, so that the fixing mechanism 30 is not easily dropped from the wall-climbing mechanism 10 when moving together with the wall-climbing mechanism 10, improving the reliability of the overall device.

[0090] In order not to interfere with the normal use of the fixing mechanism 30, on the one hand, the baffle 11 is provided with an opening on one side of the surface of the fixing mechanism 30 facing the columnar structure, and the fixing mechanism 30 can contact the surface of the columnar structure through this opening, so as to be fixed on the surface of the columnar structure. On the other hand, the baffle 11 can be provided with an opening in the traveling direction separated from the fixing mechanism 30. For example, the baffle 11 is provided with an opening on the side facing the opposite direction of the gravity direction. When the fixing mechanism 30 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can move along the gravity direction, separate from the fixing mechanism 30, and then guide the installation of the spoiler block.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method 100 for installing a spoiler block, which is applied to the device for arranging the spoiler block as described in any of the above embodiments. The method 100 can be applied to the installation of the spoiler block on the surface of the columnar structure. Among them, the columnar structure can be, for example, a wind power tower barrel. The embodiment of the present application takes the installation of the spoiler block on the wind power tower barrel as an example for illustration. As Figure 8 shown, the method 100 includes at least some of the following steps.

[0092] S110. In a state where the spoiler block passes through the two ends of the guiding cylinder 20, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves along the surface of the columnar structure to a preset position.

[0093] S120. The wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves along the first trajectory from the preset position on the surface of the columnar structure. The first trajectory is circular, and the guiding cylinder 20 guides the spoiler block to be arranged on the surface of the columnar structure along the first trajectory.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the columnar structure takes the surface of the wind power tower barrel as an example. Combining Figures 1 to 7 In the installation process of the spoiler block, one end of the spoiler block is fixed on the surface of the columnar structure, and the other end passes through the guiding cylinder 20, and the position of the spoiler block on the surface of the columnar structure is changed under the guidance of the guiding cylinder 20. In a possible implementation manner, at least one spoiler block 50 can be sequentially connected through the flexible traction mechanism 40. One end of the spoiler block 50 is fixed on the surface of the columnar structure through one end of the flexible traction mechanism 40, and the other end of the flexible traction mechanism 40 and the spoiler block 50 pass through the guiding cylinder 20 through the two ends of the guiding cylinder 20.

[0095] In the device for arranging the spoiler block provided in the embodiment of the present application, the guiding cylinder 20 is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, so that the guiding cylinder 20 can be driven to move together when the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves on the surface of the columnar structure. In step S110, the spoiler block is passed through the two ends of the guiding cylinder 20, and while keeping the spoiler block in a state of passing through the two ends of the guiding cylinder 20, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 is controlled to move along the surface of the columnar structure to a preset position. Among them, the preset position is the starting position for arranging the spoiler block on the surface of the columnar structure.

[0096] In some embodiments, the preset position can be determined according to the setting of the control program. Optionally, the movement and stop of the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can also be controlled manually to determine the preset position.

[0097] In step S120, one end of the spoiler can be fixed to the columnar structure, providing a fixed point for the annular arrangement of the spoiler on the columnar structure. When the wall-climbing mechanism drives the guiding cylinder 20 to move on the first track, the position of the fixed point will not change, and only the position of the spoiler will change under the guidance of the guiding cylinder 20. That is to say, when the wall-climbing mechanism 10 carries the guiding cylinder 20 to move along the surface of the columnar structure along the first track, the spoiler 50 can also be arranged along the first track on the surface of the columnar structure as the guiding cylinder 20 moves.

[0098] The first track is annular, for example, it can be circular or spiral, then the spoiler can be arranged in a circular or spiral shape on the surface of the columnar structure.

[0099] The method for installing the spoiler provided by the embodiments of the present application can realize high-altitude operation of the machine without transporting workers to high places for operation, reducing the difficulty of manually arranging the spoiler around the columnar structure, and improving the work efficiency and safety factor of spoiler installation. Especially when the spoiler needs to be arranged annularly on the surface of the columnar structure, the guiding cylinder 20 can effectively constrain the position of the spoiler on the arrangement path of the spoiler, enabling the spoiler to be installed according to the established route, which is also beneficial to improving the installation quality of the spoiler.

[0100] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the device for arranging the spoiler includes a fixing mechanism 30. The fixing mechanism 30 is arranged on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10. The fixing mechanism 30 includes an adsorption device 31 and a bearing part 32. The adsorption device 31 is used to connect the fixing mechanism 30 to the surface of the columnar structure, and the bearing part 32 is connected to the adsorption device 31 for bearing the spoiler passing through the guiding cylinder 20.

[0101] Step S110 can specifically include: the spoiler 50 passes through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder 20 and is connected to the bearing part 32 on the fixing mechanism 30; in the state where the spoiler passes through the two open ends of the guiding cylinder 20, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 carries the fixing mechanism to move along the surface of the columnar structure to the preset position;

[0102] Step S120 can specifically include: the fixing mechanism 30 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure at the preset position through the adsorption device 31; the wall-climbing mechanism (10) is separated from the fixing mechanism (30) and moves along the first track from the preset position on the surface of the columnar structure.

[0103] In the device for arranging spoiler blocks provided in the embodiments of the present application, the guide cylinder 20 is connected to the wall-climbing mechanism 10, and the fixing mechanism 30 is arranged on the surface of the wall-climbing mechanism 10. When the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves on the surface of the columnar structure, it can drive the guide cylinder 20 and the fixing mechanism 30 to move together. The wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves along the surface of the columnar structure and transports the fixing mechanism 30 to a preset position. Herein, the preset position is the position on the surface of the columnar structure, and the fixing mechanism 30 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure through the adsorption device 31 at the preset position.

[0104] When the fixing mechanism 30 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure, one end of the spoiler block 50 connected to the bearing part 32 is also fixed at the preset position, and the other end of the spoiler block 50 passes through the guide cylinder 20. When the fixing mechanism 30 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 is separated from the fixing mechanism 30 and drives the guide cylinder 20 to move together on the surface of the columnar structure, and the position of the spoiler block 50 is guided by changing the position of the guide cylinder 20.

[0105] Through the positioning of the fixing mechanism 30 and the constraint and guidance of the guide cylinder 20, the spoiler block can be installed along a predetermined route, which is also beneficial to improving the installation quality of the spoiler block.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the device for arranging spoiler blocks includes a flexible traction mechanism 40. The first end 41 of the flexible traction mechanism 40 is connected to the surface of the columnar structure. The flexible traction mechanism 40 passes through the two open ends of the guide cylinder 20 and is used to connect at least one spoiler block;

[0107] A bonding structure 43 is arranged at the second end 42 of the flexible traction mechanism 40. The second end 42 is away from the first end 41 along the flexible traction mechanism 40. The bonding structure 43 includes a first bonding part 431 and a second bonding part 432, and the male and female surfaces of the first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 on the same side are opposite;

[0108] The method 100 may further include: the wall-climbing mechanism 10 moves along a second trajectory on the surface of the columnar structure. The second trajectory surrounds the columnar structure. The first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 are bonded on the same side on the second trajectory, and the starting position of the second trajectory is the ending position of the first trajectory.

[0109] The spoiler block 50 is arranged on the surface of the columnar structure along the first trajectory under the guidance of the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and the guiding cylinder 20. When the wall-climbing mechanism 10 and the guiding cylinder 20 are guided to the first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 of the flexible traction mechanism 40, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can surround the surface of the columnar structure for one circle, so that the first bonding part 431 is arranged around the surface of the columnar structure; the wall-climbing mechanism 10 continues to move circumferentially along the surface of the columnar structure, so that the second bonding part 432 covers the surface of the first bonding part 431. Since the male and female surfaces on the same side of the first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 are opposite, the surfaces of the second bonding part 432 and the first bonding part 431 in contact with each other can cooperate with each other to achieve bonding.

[0110] The fixation of the spoiler block is realized by guiding the first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 through the guiding cylinder 20, which can reduce the manual operation process, simplify the fixation method of the spoiler block, and improve the installation efficiency of the spoiler block.

[0111] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, when the first bonding part 431 and the second bonding part 432 are bonded, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can move to the ground to complete the installation of the spoiler block 50. Optionally, the wall-climbing mechanism 10 can move to the ground along a vertically downward path to shorten the return time of the wall-climbing mechanism 10.

[0112] As mentioned above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope

[0113] disclosed in the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application.

[0114] Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
