Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind power towers, in particular to a node connector of a steel tube concrete wind power tower. Background Art
[0002] Steel tube concrete wind turbine tower refers to a wind turbine tower structure that combines steel tubes and concrete. This tower utilizes the high strength of steel tubes and the compressive resistance of concrete. Through reasonable design and construction, the tower has better stability and durability when bearing loads such as wind force and deadweight. Compared with traditional steel or concrete towers, steel tube concrete wind turbine tower has obvious advantages in material cost, construction efficiency and structural performance.
[0003] According to the patent document: CN110173148A, a universal attachment ball-type branch node connector for a lattice-type steel tube concrete wind power tower is disclosed, and the node connector includes an attachment plate, a tube body, a bolt ball, a locking piece, a connecting rod, a connecting ball and a support rod, the attachment plate is connected to the tower column surface by fixing bolts, the tube body is vertically arranged on the outer wall of the attachment plate, the locking piece is installed on the outer end of the tube body and the locking piece has a center hole, the bolt ball is rotatably arranged in the tube body and the bolt ball partially extends out of the tube body from the center hole of the locking piece, the connecting ball is detachably connected to the extending part of the bolt ball through the connecting rod, and the connecting ball has an internal threaded hole. The node connector provided by the present invention avoids the influence of the aging, shrinkage, and expansion deformation of the tower on the connection strength between the tower and the attachment plate; the use of connecting rods, connecting balls and support rods to cooperate to connect multiple webs helps to reduce the end points of the connection between the web and the bolt ball, thereby reducing the restriction on the rotation angle of the bolt ball.
[0004] During the tower construction process, when the tower steel pipes at both ends are connected to the surrounding steel pipes through node connectors, it is usually necessary to rely on hoisting devices to lift the steel pipes to the predetermined position to achieve precise docking. However, during the hoisting operation, the steel pipes are easily affected by external environmental factors, especially wind conditions, which causes unnecessary swings of the steel pipes during the docking stage, thereby causing docking position deviation problems. In response to this situation, construction workers need to continuously adjust the position of the steel pipes in the high-altitude working environment and tighten them with the help of connecting grooves and bolts. This process not only significantly increases the difficulty of construction, but also increases the safety risks during the operation. In addition, the tower structure is exposed to the natural environment for a long time and is subjected to harsh conditions such as wind and sun. It is prone to material aging, shedding, shrinkage, and expansion and deformation. These physical changes will directly affect the stability of the connection between the tower and the sleeve, increase the risk of connection failure, and pose a potential threat to the stability of the overall structure.

The outer walls of the three groups of reinforced semicircular tube rotating rods 116 are movably connected to the inner sides of the six groups of limit blocks 113. The left and right groups of the three groups of reinforced semicircular tubes 117 away from the node connection pipe body 111 are fixedly connected with bolt fixing plates 118. The top and bottom of the six groups of bolt fixing plates 118 are provided with reinforcement grooves 119. The four sides of the top and bottom of the outer wall of the node connection pipe body 111 are provided with two node connection pipe bolt grooves 112. When the three sides of the steel pipe need to be connected after the node is connected, first remove the bolt 24 and the second bolt 25 to release the limit of the inner wall bolt ball 352 of the bolt ball connection mechanism housing 21, and then the bolt ball 352 can be rotated on the inner wall of the bolt ball connection mechanism housing 21 to adjust the steel pipe connection mechanism 3 to the most suitable position for connecting the steel pipe and the best fixing effect, and then the bolt 24 and the second bolt 25 are re-fixed through the bolt ball groove 353 on the outer wall of the bolt ball 352 to fix the bolt ball 352, and one end of the steel pipe is inserted into the outer wall of the steel pipe connection front pipe 31 and the limiting pipe 33, and then the staff rotates the internal threaded push shaft 354 with a wrench, and the internal threaded push shaft 354 engages with the outer wall of the threaded rod 351 to drive the external push pipe 355 to move toward the inner wall of one side of the limiting pipe 33, thereby pushing the push shaft 35 through the push rod 356. When the outer wall of the threaded rod 351 moves and the push shaft 357 moves toward one side of the second connecting shaft 3510, the push shaft 357 and the multiple rotating rods 359 on the outer wall of the second connecting shaft 3510 are driven to rotate and change the angle, thereby pushing the limiting arc plate 3511 to extend to the outer wall of the limiting tube 33 through the limiting groove 34. The multiple limiting arc plates 3511 expand outward through the multiple limiting grooves 34 to support the inner wall of the steel pipe. When the inner wall of the steel pipe is fixed, the staff can continue to use bolts to reinforce the connection between the steel pipe and the steel pipe connecting mechanism 3 through the multiple bolt grooves 32 opened on the outer wall of the steel pipe connecting front tube 31, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire wind power tower. In the actual operation process, the staff needs to ensure the tightness of the bolts 24 and the second bolts 25 to prevent loosening under the action of wind. After completing the preliminary fixation of the steel pipe, the staff also needs to reinforce the node connection pipe 1. First, the limit rod 114 is pulled out of the inner wall of the two limit blocks 113 to release the limit on the reinforcing semicircular pipe rotating rod 116 to ensure that it can move freely. Then, the top and bottom reinforcing semicircular pipe rotating rods 116 are rotated to make the two reinforcing semicircular pipes 117 fit tightly, and the inner wall thereof wraps the steel pipe and the steel pipe connecting mechanism 3. Then, the reinforcing grooves 119 opened by the two sets of bolt fixing plates 118 are used to reinforce them with bolts, thereby increasing the strength of the connection part. In this way, through the double reinforcement of the reinforcing semicircular pipe 117 and the bolt fixing plate 118, the node connection pipe 1 can be effectively prevented from displacement or deformation under severe weather conditions. Finally, the staff needs to check the reinforcement of the entire node connection pipe 1 to ensure that all bolts and connection parts are tightened in place. Through the above steps, it can be ensured that the node connector of the steel tube concrete wind power tower remains stable in long-term operation, thereby providing reliable support for wind power generation.
[0022] See also Figure 9-10 A rear slide groove 1110 is provided on the rear side of the node connecting pipe body 111, and the top and bottom of the rear side of the node connecting pipe body 111 are fixedly connected with a two-way screw rod connecting block 1111, and the inner walls of the two two-way screw rod connecting blocks 1111 are threadedly connected with a two-way screw rod 1112, and the bottom end of the two-way screw rod 1112 is fixedly connected with a turning handle 1113, and the two auxiliary connecting pipes 12 each include an auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121, and the outer walls of the two auxiliary connecting pipe shells 121 are respectively slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the node connecting pipe body 111, and the four sides of the outer walls of the two auxiliary connecting pipe shells 121 Two auxiliary connecting pipe bolt grooves 122 are provided at the top and bottom of the two auxiliary connecting pipe housings 121, and transmission blocks 123 are fixedly connected to the sides close to each other on the rear sides. The rear sides of the two transmission blocks 123 extend to the outer wall of the node connecting pipe body 111 through the rear slide groove 1110 and are respectively threadedly connected to the top and bottom of the outer wall of the bidirectional screw rod 1112. The two transmission blocks 123 extend to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the node connecting pipe body 111 and are fixedly connected to side fixing plates 124. Side fixing plate fixing grooves 125 are provided on the front and rear sides of the tops of the two sets of side fixing plates 124. When it is necessary to connect the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower, first, the vertical poles at both ends are inserted into the inner wall of the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121 and connected by bolts through the auxiliary connecting pipe bolt grooves 122 at the bottom of the four sides of the outer wall of the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121, and then the turning handle 1113 is turned to make the two-way screw rod 1112 rotate. Since the two-way screw rod 1112 is threadedly connected with the transmission block 123, the transmission block 123 will move toward each other along the rear slide groove 1110, and the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121 will slide along the inner wall of the node connecting pipe body 111, so that the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower are tightly fitted. When the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower are completely fitted, the fixing pin is inserted through the side fixing plate fixing groove 125 on the side fixing plate 124 to ensure the stability of the tower structure after connection, and then the fixing pin is inserted through the auxiliary connecting pipe bolt groove 122 on the other side and the node connecting pipe bolt groove 112 for reinforcement. Through this design, a fast, simple and firm wind power tower connection can be achieved, which greatly improves construction efficiency and safety.
[0023] Working principle: When the three sides of the steel pipe need to be connected after the node is connected, first remove the bolt 24 and the second bolt 25 to release the limit of the bolt ball 352 on the inner wall of the bolt ball connection mechanism shell 21, and then adjust the steel pipe connection mechanism 3 to the most suitable position for connecting the steel pipe and the best fixing effect by rotating the bolt ball 352 on the inner wall of the bolt ball connection mechanism shell 21, and then re-fix the bolt ball 352 with the bolt 24 and the second bolt 25 through the bolt ball slot 353 on the outer wall of the bolt ball 352, and insert one end of the steel pipe into the outer wall of the steel pipe connection front pipe 31 and the limit pipe 33. The staff then uses a wrench to rotate the internal threaded push shaft 354, which engages with the outer wall of the threaded rod 351 to drive the external push tube 355 to move toward the inner wall of one side of the limiting tube 33, thereby pushing the push shaft 357 to move on the outer wall of the threaded rod 351 through the push rod 356. When the push shaft 357 moves toward one side of the second connecting shaft 3510, it drives the push shaft 357 and multiple rotating rods 359 on the outer wall of the second connecting shaft 3510 to rotate and change the angle, thereby pushing the limiting arc plate 3511 to extend to the outer wall of the limiting tube 33 through the limiting groove 34. A plurality of limit grooves 34 expand outward to support the inner wall of the steel pipe. When the inner wall of the steel pipe is fixed, the staff can continue to use bolts to reinforce the connection between the steel pipe and the steel pipe connecting mechanism 3 through the plurality of bolt grooves 32 opened on the outer wall of the steel pipe connecting front pipe 31, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire wind power tower. In the actual operation process, the staff needs to ensure the tightness of the bolts 24 and the second bolts 25 to prevent loosening under the action of wind. After completing the initial fixation of the steel pipe, the staff also needs to reinforce the node connecting pipe 1. First, pull out the limit rod 114 and tighten it. The inner wall of each limit block 113 releases the limit on the reinforcing semicircular tube rotating rod 116 to ensure that it can move freely. Then, the top and bottom reinforcing semicircular tube rotating rods 116 are rotated to make the two reinforcing semicircular tubes 117 fit tightly, and the inner wall thereof wraps the steel pipe and the steel pipe connecting mechanism 3. Then, the reinforcing grooves 119 opened by the two sets of bolt fixing plates 118 are used to reinforce them with bolts, thereby increasing the strength of the connection part. In this way, the double reinforcement of the reinforcing semicircular tube 117 and the bolt fixing plate 118 can effectively prevent the node connecting pipe 1 from displacement or deformation under severe weather conditions. When it is necessary to connect the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower, first, insert the vertical poles at both ends into the inner wall of the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121 and connect them with bolts through the auxiliary connecting pipe bolt grooves 122 at the bottom of the four sides of the outer wall of the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121, then turn the handle 1113 to make the two-way screw rod 1112 rotate. Since the two-way screw rod 1112 is threadedly connected with the transmission block 123, the transmission block 123 will move toward each other along the rear slide groove 1110, and the auxiliary connecting pipe shell 121 will slide along the inner wall of the node connecting pipe body 111, so that the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower are tightly fitted. When the vertical poles of the two sections of the tower are completely fitted, the fixing pin is inserted through the side fixing plate fixing groove 125 on the side fixing plate 124 to ensure the stability of the connected tower structure, and then the fixing pin is inserted through the auxiliary connecting pipe bolt groove 122 on the other side and the node connecting pipe bolt groove 112 for reinforcement.
