Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore wind power monopile manufacturing methods, and in particular to a process for constructing a super-large monopile. Background Art
[0002] With the trend of large-scale offshore wind turbines, the diameter and weight of monopile products are getting larger and larger, and the construction difficulty and requirements are getting higher and higher, and the requirements for equipment and plant areas are also getting higher and higher. The diameter of traditional offshore monopiles is usually ≤11m, the length of a single pile is about 100m, and the weight of a single pile is ≤2000T. In the future, the diameter and weight of offshore monopiles will be larger and larger. The diameter of super-large monopiles will reach 12m~15m, the length will be ≥110m, and the weight will be about ≥3500t. Limited by factors such as equipment capacity and workshop size, super-large monopiles are difficult to build and the processing period is long. To meet the requirements for super-large monopiles, it is necessary to study and design reasonable construction processes, processes and methods, and consider various aspects such as equipment processing capacity, size control, hoisting and transportation, and reasonable planning. For these aspects, a process and method for the construction of super-large monopiles is now provided. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a process for constructing a super-large single pile, which is used to solve the problems of difficulty in constructing a super-large single pile and a long processing period.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A process for constructing a super large single pile comprises the following steps:
[0005] (a) Cutting the sheets into required sizes using a CNC cutting machine to obtain panels;
[0006] (b) Panel splicing: Use the panel horizontal lifting solution to lift the panel to the feeding platform of the plate rolling machine, use the panel turning solution to turn the panel over, and weld each panel before rolling;
[0007] (c) Prefabrication of single-section cylinder. After the welding of each panel, longitudinal seam welding, rounding and circumferential seam beveling are performed to obtain a single-section cylinder;
[0008] (d) Segmented extension, splicing and welding adjacent cylinders to obtain segmented cylinders;
[0009] (e) Extend the entire pile and weld each segmented cylinder;
[0010] (f). Flange installation and machining;
[0011] (g) Sandblasting and painting, waterline marking, using transport tools and SPMT transport vehicles to transport single piles, and sandblasting and painting;
[0012] (h) Complete the work and ship out.
[0013] Furthermore, the panel lifting scheme in (b) includes two sets of lifting devices, and the lifting devices include two flappers, bolts, struts, and steel ropes.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting method of the plan for horizontal lifting of the panels in (b) is to lay the panels flat, put on two flappers, tighten the flappers with bolts, connect the two flappers to the support rods through a steel wire rope, and hang the steel wire rope hooks on the ear holes at both ends of the flappers. The other group is operated in the same way, and the steel wire ropes of the two overhead cranes are passed through the support rod lifting points to synchronously lift the panels, and synchronously move and lift them to the feeding platform of the plate rolling machine.
[0015] Furthermore, the panel turning solution in (b) includes two sets of turning and lifting devices, and the turning and lifting devices include a panel flipper, bolts, struts, and steel wire ropes.
[0016] Furthermore, the lifting method of the panel turning solution in (b) includes:
[0017] Step 1: Lay the panels flat, put on two flappers, fasten the flappers with bolts, connect one end of the flapper to the support rod through a wire rope, and hang the wire rope hook on the ear hole at one end of the flapper. Repeat the same operation for the other set.
[0018] Step 2: Use the wire ropes of two cranes to pass through the support rod lifting points and slowly lift one end of the panel to ensure that the other end always touches the ground during the lifting process. After turning to 90°, the crane hook head continues to move forward to flip the panel to the opposite direction of > 90°, and slowly release the hook until the panel is completely flat, then open and remove the wire rope to complete the flip.
[0019] Furthermore, in step (g), the transport tooling includes section A and section B, and sections A and B are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0020] Furthermore, in step (g), when transporting a monopile, section A tooling is fixed on the SPMT transport vehicle. After entering the vehicle, section B tooling is inserted into the monopile and the bottom of the SPMT transport vehicle by a forklift, and after docking with section A, it is fixed with bolts. When unloading the vehicle, the bolts are loosened and section A and section B tooling are removed separately by a forklift.

The segment assembly area uses a crane to lift a single-section cylinder to the work station, and then uses a roller frame to assemble it, completing the segment ((S1)\(S2)\(S3)\(S4)\(S5)\(S6)) assembly process; the segment welding area uses a roller frame to rotate the segment welding platform after the segment is assembled, and performs circumferential welding on the circumferential welding platform; the whole pile closing area uses a crane to lift each segment to the final assembly roller frame for assembly, and performs circumferential welding on the circumferential welding platform. At the same time, when the segment (S5) (cone tube segment) is prefabricated, it is also assembled and welded in the whole pile closing area to solve the problem that the S5 segment pile body needs to be lifted; the sandblasting workshop uses SPMT to transport the whole pile to the sandblasting workshop roller frame, rotate the roller frame, and use a sandblasting gun to perform sandblasting operations; the paint shop uses the sandblasting roller frame to transport it to the paint shop, and then rotates the roller frame to use paint spraying equipment to perform paint spraying operations.

The flappers 1 and 2 are connected to the strut 1 respectively through a wire rope, and the wire rope hooks are hung on the ear holes at both ends of the flappers. Similarly, the flappers 3 and 4 are connected to the strut 2 respectively through a wire rope, and the wire rope hooks are hung on the ear holes at both ends of the flappers. The wire ropes of two overhead cranes are passed through the strut lifting points, and the panel is lifted synchronously, and then moved and lifted to the feeding platform of the plate rolling machine synchronously.

Then open and disassemble the wire rope to complete the turning.
[0044] like Figure 7As shown, the transport tooling includes section A and section B. Sections A and B are connected by bolts. Section A is fixed on the SPMT transport vehicle. After entering the vehicle, section B is inserted into the monopile and the bottom of the SPMT transport vehicle by a forklift. After docking with section A, it is fixed with bolts.
