[0064] In another embodiment, a first positioning structure 106 is disposed on the top of the platform 110 of the concrete tower connection device 100, and a second positioning structure is disposed on the bottom of the concrete tower 200, and the first positioning structure 106 and the second positioning structure are matched in a concave-convex manner.

[0065] To ensure accurate positioning of the concrete tower 200 and the concrete tower connecting device 100, as Figure 2 As shown, the first flange 112 is symmetrically provided with four first positioning structures 106, the first positioning structure 106 includes a first positioning hole and a positioning member, the positioning member is inserted into the first positioning hole, the diameter of the first positioning hole is 40 mm, the depth is 60 mm, and the horizontal distance between the pitch circle of the first positioning hole and the center of the cylinder 111 is 10.4 m. The second positioning structure is a second positioning hole, and before the concrete tower 200 is hoisted, the positioning member is inserted into the first positioning hole, and the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 is reserved with a second positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning hole set on the top surface of the platform 110, so as to facilitate the precise positioning of the concrete tower 200.

[0066] The platform 110 is a cylindrical structure. The inner diameter of the top surface of the platform 110 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 , and the outer diameter of the platform 110 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 .

[0067] The edge of the top of the platform 110 extends beyond the edge of the bottom of the concrete tower 200, so that the projection of the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 on the top surface of the platform 110 completely falls into the top surface of the platform 110, which can ensure that the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 is completely placed on the upper surface of the first flange 112, thereby achieving the purpose of optimizing the force transmission path of the tower bottom load to the wind turbine foundation 300 and uniformly diffusing the stress.

[0068] Embodiment 1, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the wind turbine foundation 300 adopts a concrete foundation, and the specific construction process is as follows:

[0069] S1: Before pouring the fan foundation 300, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the anchor bolt 410 is inserted into the anchor bolt sleeve 420 to form a bolt connection 400. The lower end of the bolt connection 400 is fixed on the anchor plate 500 arranged inside the wind turbine foundation 300. The upper end of the bolt connection 400 is exposed about 2.5m from the top surface of the wind turbine foundation 300. Subsequently, the concrete of the wind turbine foundation 300 is poured.

[0070] S2: After the concrete of the wind turbine foundation 300 is cured to a certain strength, the concrete tower connection device 100 is hoisted to the top surface of the wind turbine foundation 300, and the anchor bolt 410 passes through the bolting holes of the second flange 113 and the first flange 112 of the connection device. The upper end of the anchor bolt 410 is fixed to the upper surface of the first flange 112 by a nut, and an anti-corrosion cap 430 is provided to prevent the end of the anchor bolt 410 from being exposed to corrosion and other problems in the humid environment at sea for a long time. Then, waterproof sealant is applied to the connection between the second flange 113 and the top surface of the concrete foundation.

[0071] S3: Before hoisting the concrete tower 200, a positioning piece is inserted into the first positioning hole. The positioning piece is a threaded sleeve. The second positioning hole on the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 is plugged into the positioning piece in a concave-convex manner to facilitate the precise positioning of the concrete tower 200. Then, positioning pins are inserted into the four positioning pieces on the top surface of the connecting device. The positioning pins are generally three long and one short.

[0072] S4: The concrete tower 200 is hoisted, and the first section of the concrete tower 200 is hoisted to the surface of the first flange 112 of the connecting device, and positioned by positioning pins. Since the outer diameter of the first flange 112 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200, and the inner diameter of the first flange 112 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200, it can be ensured that the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 completely overlaps with the upper surface of the first flange 112, so as to optimize the force transmission path of the tower bottom load to the wind turbine foundation 300 and evenly diffuse the stress, and then apply waterproof sealant to the connection between the first flange 112 and the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200.

[0073] S5: After the concrete tower 17 is hoisted, the steel strand 210 passes through the first flange 112 and the steel strand through hole 102 of the inner support plate 121, and is anchored on the lower surface of the inner support plate 121. The prestressed steel strand 210 is tensioned at the lower part of the inner support plate 121, so that the contact surface between the connecting device and the concrete tower 200 is always under pressure, thereby greatly improving the bending and overturning resistance of the concrete tower 200. When the steel strand 210 is tensioned, the construction personnel can enter through the tower door of the concrete tower 200, and enter the installation space 104 below the inner support plate 121 of the connecting device through the built-in ladder for tensioning. The upper end of the steel strand 210 is anchored at the top of the concrete tower 200, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] Embodiment 2, as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the wind turbine foundation 300 is a steel foundation. The difference from Example 1 is that the foundation type of the lower connection of the connecting device is different. In Example 2, the lower part adopts a steel foundation, and the anchor bolt 410 passes through the connecting plate 310 set on the top of the steel foundation and is fixed to the lower surface of the connecting plate 310 of the wind turbine foundation 300 by a nut.

[0075] Waterproof sealant is applied to the connection between the first flange 112 and the bottom surface of the concrete tower 200 , and the second flange 113 and the top surface of the wind turbine foundation 300 .

[0076] The present invention proposes a connection structure between a prestressed concrete tower 200 and a wind turbine foundation 300, which has a reasonable structure, precise docking, firm connection, good force characteristics, and convenient installation. It can realize a reasonable force transmission mechanism at connection nodes with different stiffness and different media, effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the foundation and the tower, and can meet the development requirements of large-scale and high-altitude wind turbines.

[0077] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection created by this application.
