Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hoisting equipment technology, and more particularly to hoisting equipment for tower sections. Background Technology
[0002] Wind farms are typically located in areas with high wind speeds, such as coastal areas, mountainous regions, and plateaus. These areas possess abundant wind energy resources but also face complex meteorological conditions. Frequent changes in wind speed and direction are among the main characteristics of these regions. Wind speed instability has a significant impact on the construction and operation of wind farms, especially during the tower installation process.
[0003] During the installation of wind turbine towers in a wind farm, changes in wind speed can cause the towers to sway in the air, affecting their positioning accuracy and stability. Specifically, increased wind speed subjects the towers to greater wind loads, thus increasing the burden on the hoisting equipment. These wind loads include not only pressure perpendicular to the tower surface but also dynamic loads caused by changes in wind speed. Furthermore, changes in wind direction can cause the towers to rotate or shift during hoisting, increasing the difficulty and risk of the installation.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0037] Please see Figure 1-4 This invention provides a tower section hoisting device, including a support frame 1, a hoist 2, a dynamic balancing fixing device 3, and an anti-rotation device 4. The support frame 1 is installed and fixed on the ground, the fixed end of the hoist 2 is installed and fixed on the support frame 1, the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 is installed and fixed below the hoisting end of the hoist 2, and the anti-rotation device 4 is installed and fixed on the outside of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3. The tower crane section device 7 is installed and fixed through the dynamic balancing fixing device 3.
[0038] In one possible implementation, the support frame 1 is the foundation of the entire hoisting equipment, typically fixed to the ground, and bears the entire weight and external load of the hoisting system. One end of the support frame 1 is connected to the fixed end of the hoist 2, which is fixed to the support frame 1, forming a stable support foundation. The support frame 1 needs to be able to withstand the working load of the hoist 2, and therefore is typically made of steel or other high-strength materials. This connection ensures that the vertical lifting force of the hoist 2 can be transmitted to the ground through the support frame 1, maintaining the stability of the hoisting equipment.
[0039] Furthermore, the lifting end of the hoist 2 is connected to the upper mounting part 32 of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3, forming the basic working unit for hoisting the tower section. The hoist 2 transmits the vertical lifting force to the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 through a transmission system such as ropes or chains. The function of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 is to maintain the balance of the tower section by connecting it to the tower section device through three installation ropes 6. The included angle of each installation rope 6 is usually 120°, which ensures that the force in all directions is evenly distributed during the hoisting of the tower section, preventing the tower section from tilting or becoming unstable.
[0040] Furthermore, an anti-rotation device 4 is installed on the outside of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3. The anti-rotation device 4 consists of a windward plate 41, a rotating device 42, a moving device 43, and a control device. The function of the anti-rotation device 4 is to control the rotational influence of wind and other external factors on the tower section during the hoisting process, preventing unnecessary rotation of the tower section due to wind or other reasons during hoisting. The windward plate 41 of the anti-rotation device 4 can optimize the attitude of the tower section under wind force by rotating and adjusting its position, and the angle and orientation of the windward plate 41 can be adjusted in real time by the control system to achieve the effect of balancing the influence of wind force.
[0041] Furthermore, the tower section is secured to the lower mounting part 33 of the dynamic balancing device 3 by three installation ropes 6. To ensure stable hoisting of the tower section, the included angle of these three installation ropes 6 is maintained at 120° to ensure that the tower section does not tilt during hoisting. The damping balancing device 34 of the dynamic balancing device 3, especially the flywheel damper 342, can generate a counterforce by controlling the speed of the flywheel when the tower section tilts, thereby effectively mitigating the tilt of the tower section and further ensuring the safety and stability during hoisting.
[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 includes a housing 31, an upper mounting part 32, a lower mounting part 33, and a damping balancing device 34, wherein the upper mounting part 32 is mounted and fixed on the top of the housing 31, the lower mounting part 33 is mounted and fixed on the bottom of the housing 31, and the damping balancing device 34 is mounted and fixed inside the housing 31.
[0043] The upper mounting part 32 is connected and fixed to the lifting rope 5 of the hoist 2, and the lower mounting part 33 is connected and fixed to the tower crane section device 7;
[0044] The upper mounting part 32 is provided with at least one rope for connecting and fixing to the lifting rope 5 of the hoist 2, and the lower mounting part 33 is provided with at least three mounting ropes 6 for connecting and fixing to the tower crane section device 7. The included angle between any adjacent ropes is equal, and the sum of the included angles of all adjacent ropes is 360 degrees.
[0045] In one possible implementation, the dynamic balancing device 3 includes a housing 31, an upper mounting portion 32, a lower mounting portion 33, and a damping balancing device 34. The housing 31 serves as the main load-bearing structure of the entire device, receiving and transmitting forces from the hoist 2 and the tower section assembly. The upper mounting portion 32 is mounted on the upper part of the housing 31, and the lower mounting portion 33 is mounted on the lower part of the housing 31. The damping balancing device 34 is installed inside the housing 31 and balances the dynamic changes of the tower section through mechanical or hydraulic means.
[0046] Furthermore, the upper part of the upper mounting part 32 is connected and fixed to the lifting rope 5 of the hoist 2, bearing the vertical force transmitted from the hoist 2. The rope of the hoist 2 is connected to the dynamic balance fixing device 3 through the fixing point of the upper mounting part 32, ensuring stable and vertical force transmission during the hoisting process.
[0047] Furthermore, the lower mounting part 33 is connected and fixed to the tower section device, and its main function is to transfer the force from the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 to the tower section. In this connection, at least three ropes are installed on the lower mounting part 33, which are fixed to different connection points of the tower section. The three ropes are arranged at equal angles, and the included angle between each rope is equal, to ensure uniform force distribution and prevent the tower section from tilting or becoming unstable.
[0048] Furthermore, after the upper mounting part 32 is fixedly connected to the hoist 2 via ropes, the lower mounting part 33 is fixedly connected to the tower section via at least three ropes. To ensure stability during the hoisting process, the included angles between all ropes are set to be equal and sum to 360 degrees. Typically, the included angle between these three ropes is 120 degrees, ensuring uniform force distribution during hoisting and preventing any single rope from bearing excessive load, which could lead to imbalance of the tower section.
[0049] Furthermore, a damping balancing device 34 is installed inside the housing 31, which adjusts the attitude of the tower section in real time by adjusting the internal flywheel, hydraulic system, or other damping elements. When the tower section experiences slight tilting or dynamic changes during hoisting, the damping balancing device 34 can provide timely adjustments, reducing the risk of swaying or excessive tilting. Its function is to generate a counterforce mechanically to counteract unbalanced forces, thereby maintaining the vertical stability of the tower section.
[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the damping balancing device 34 includes a fixed frame 341, a drive controller, and a flywheel damper 342. The fixed frame 341 is installed and fixed inside the housing 31, and the flywheel damper 342 is installed and fixed inside the fixed frame 341. The drive controller is electrically connected to the flywheel damper 342 to control the rotational speed of the flywheel damper 342.
[0051] The rotation shaft of the flywheel damper 342 is connected and fixed to the fixed frame 341. When the fixed frame 341 is tilted by force, the rotation shaft of the flywheel damper 342 will generate a force that resists the tilt and is transmitted to the fixed frame 341.
[0052] In one possible implementation, the fixed frame 341 serves as the load-bearing foundation for the damping balancing device 34 and is fixedly installed inside the housing 31. This connection ensures that the fixed frame 341 can stably bear the forces from the tower section and other components throughout the hoisting process. The connection between the fixed frame 341 and the housing 31 is achieved by bolts, welding, or other fixing structures to ensure that it does not loosen or shift during operation.
[0053] Furthermore, the flywheel damper 342 is connected to the fixed frame 341 via its rotation axis. The flywheel damper 342 typically consists of a heavy-duty flywheel, which is connected inside the fixed frame 341 via bearings. When forces or tilting occur during the hoisting of the tower section, the rotation axis of the flywheel damper 342 will rotate or change resistance accordingly with the movement of the fixed frame 341. The weight and rotational speed of the flywheel generate a force that resists tilting, mitigating or counteracting the unbalanced movement of the tower section.
[0054] Furthermore, the drive controller is electrically connected to the control system of the flywheel damper 342. The drive controller is responsible for adjusting the rotational speed of the flywheel damper 342 to cope with different load conditions during hoisting. The drive controller typically includes a sensor to detect the degree of tilt and dynamic changes of the fixed frame 341, and adjusts the speed of the flywheel based on real-time data to provide the necessary resistance to counteract the tilt.
[0055] Specifically, when the tower section begins to be hoisted and tilts, the force acting on the fixed frame 341 changes, causing a corresponding change in the rotation axis of the flywheel damper 342. The drive controller receives tilt data from sensors and adjusts the rotational speed of the flywheel damper 342 in real time. The change in the rotational speed of the flywheel damper 342 causes the flywheel to generate corresponding resistance. The inertial force of the flywheel counteracts or slows down the tilt of the fixed frame 341, maintaining balance during the hoisting process. The design of the damping balancing device 34, through the effective connection between the fixed frame 341, the flywheel damper 342, and the drive controller, enables precise adjustment of the tower section's tilt during hoisting, significantly improving the safety, stability, and efficiency of the hoisting operation.
[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the anti-rotation device 4 includes a windward plate 41, a rotating device 42, a moving device 43, and a control device. The windward plate 41 is mounted on the outer surface of the housing 31 via the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43. The windward plate 41 is mounted and fixed on the rotating part 422 of the rotating device 42, and the fixed part 421 of the rotating device 42 is mounted and fixed on the moving part of the moving device 43. The track of the moving device 43 is mounted and fixed on the outer side of the housing 31. The control device is electrically connected to the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 to control the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43.
[0057] The plane on which the moving device 43 moves is parallel to the cross-section of the housing 31, and the moving trajectory is circular.
[0058] The rotation axis of the rotating part 422 of the rotating device 42 is perpendicular to the plane of the moving trajectory. There are at least two rotating devices 42, which are symmetrically arranged. There are also at least two moving devices 43, whose positions correspond to the rotating devices 42.
[0059] In one possible implementation, the windward plate 41 is a key component preventing the tower section from rotating during hoisting, and it is connected to the moving device 43 via a rotating device 42. The windward plate 41 is mounted and fixed on the rotating part 422 of the rotating device 42. The rotating part 422 is typically supported by bearings and can rotate freely around a rotation axis. When the tower section is subjected to external forces (such as wind or other directional forces), the windward plate 41 adjusts its angle via the rotating part 422 to effectively prevent the tower section from rotating.
[0060] Furthermore, the fixing part 421 of the rotating device 42 is mounted on the moving part of the moving device 43. The fixing part 421 of the rotating device 42 is usually connected to the moving part of the moving device 43 by mechanical connection or welding, ensuring that the rotating device 42 can rotate freely or be fixed on the moving device 43. The track of the moving device 43 is fixed to the outer surface of the housing 31, so that the rotating device 42 can move along a circular trajectory on the track.
[0061] Furthermore, the track of the moving device 43 is mounted on the outer surface of the housing 31 and connected to the rotating device 42. The moving device 43 is designed to move along a circular track. The circular track ensures that the windward plate 41 is always maintained at a suitable angle to prevent the tower section from rotating, especially when encountering external wind or torque during hoisting.
[0062] Furthermore, the control device controls the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 via electrical connections. The control device typically includes sensors and a control system for real-time monitoring of the tower section's position, the angle of the windward plate 41, and the tower section's tilt or rotation. Based on real-time data, the control device can automatically adjust the angle of the rotating device 42 and the position of the moving device 43 to ensure the effective operation of the anti-rotation device 4.
[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the moving device 43 includes an upper rail 431, a lower rail 432, an upper moving part 433, a lower moving part 434, and a drive motor 8. The upper rail 431 is mounted and fixed on the upper side of the outer side of the housing 31, the lower rail 432 is mounted and fixed on the lower side of the outer side of the housing 31, the upper moving part 433 is mounted on the upper rail 431, the lower moving part 434 is mounted on the lower rail 432, and the drive motor 8 is connected and fixed to either the upper moving part 433 or the lower moving part 434.
[0064] The rotating device 42 includes a drive motor 8, a fixed part 421 and a rotating part 422. The fixed part 421 is mounted and fixed on the upper moving part 433 and the lower moving part 434. The fixed part 421, the upper moving part 433 and the lower moving part 434 are on the same straight line. The rotating part 422 is installed in the fixed part 421. The drive motor 8 is connected to the rotating part 422 and provides rotational power to the rotating part 422.
[0065] The control device is electrically connected to the drive motor 8 of the moving device 43 and the drive motor 8 of the rotating device 42 respectively, and controls the operating parameters of the drive motor 8.
[0066] In one possible implementation, the moving device 43 comprises an upper rail 431, a lower rail 432, an upper moving part 433, a lower moving part 434, and a drive motor 8. The upper rail 431 and the lower rail 432 are respectively fixed to the outer surface of the housing 31 to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the rails. The upper rail 431 is installed on the upper side of the outer surface of the housing 31, and the lower rail 432 is installed on the lower side, forming a pair of parallel rails.
[0067] Specifically, the upper moving part 433 is mounted on the upper track 431, and the lower moving part 434 is mounted on the lower track 432. The two moving parts can slide along the track direction, supporting the rotating part 422 of the rotating device 42. The connection between the upper moving part 433 and the lower moving part 434 is achieved through a fixing part 421, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. The drive motor 8 is fixed to either the upper moving part 433 or the lower moving part 434 and provides power through a mechanical connection, enabling the moving part to move on the track. The power source of the drive motor 8 can be adjusted via electrical signals to control the direction and speed of the moving part's movement.
[0068] Furthermore, the rotating device 42 includes a drive motor 8, a fixed part 421, and a rotating part 422. The fixed part 421 is fixed at the connection point of the upper moving part 433 and the lower moving part 434, making it the core support component of the rotating device 42. The fixed part 421, the upper moving part 433, and the lower moving part 434 are on the same straight line, ensuring the stability of the rotating device 42. The rotating part 422 is installed inside the fixed part 421 and is connected to the fixed part 421 via a rotating shaft. The drive motor 8 is connected to the rotating part 422, providing rotational power so that the rotating part 422 can rotate, thereby driving components such as the windward plate 41 to make necessary angle adjustments during the hoisting process.
[0069] Furthermore, the control device is electrically connected to the drive motor 8 of the moving device 43 and the drive motor 8 of the rotating device 42, and monitors and controls the working status of the drive motor 8 in real time. The control device receives signals from sensors and provides feedback on the position and angle information of the tower section and the windward plate 41. Based on this data, the control device precisely adjusts the motors and controls the action parameters of the drive motors 8 of the upper moving part 433, the lower moving part 434, and the rotating device 42 to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the anti-rotation device 4 during hoisting.
[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the windward plate 41 includes a telescopic motor 411, a telescopic plate 412, and a fixed plate 413, wherein the fixed plate 413 is a hollow panel, the telescopic plate 412 is installed in the fixed plate 413, the fixed end of the telescopic motor 411 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 413, and the telescopic end of the telescopic motor 411 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic plate 412. When the telescopic motor 411 is working, the telescopic plate 412 extends out or retracts from the fixed plate 413.
[0071] The telescopic motor 411 is electrically connected to the control device, which controls the telescopic amount of extension and retraction of the telescopic motor 411.
[0072] In one possible implementation, the fixing plate 413 is a hollow panel with strong structural support capabilities. The fixed end of the telescopic motor 411 is mounted on the fixing plate 413, ensuring that the telescopic motor 411 can perform stable telescopic movements. The fixing plate 413 is fixed to the surface of the telescopic motor 411 by a fastening device, so that the telescopic shaft of the telescopic motor 411 can be connected to the telescopic plate 412, and precise telescopic control can be achieved.
[0073] Furthermore, the telescopic plate 412 is installed inside the fixed plate 413 and connected to the fixed plate 413 via a guide rail or slide rail, ensuring that the telescopic plate 412 moves along a fixed trajectory during telescopic movement and avoids deviation from the predetermined direction. When the telescopic motor 411 is started, the telescopic end of the telescopic motor 411 is mechanically fixed to one end of the telescopic plate 412, thereby driving the telescopic plate 412 to extend or retract along the direction of the fixed plate 413. The telescopic plate 412 is typically designed to slide, allowing it to flexibly retract into the fixed plate 413 or extend out of the fixed plate 413 to change the effective area of the windward plate 41.
[0074] Furthermore, the telescopic motor 411 is electrically connected to the control device, which is responsible for precisely adjusting the telescopic range of the motor 411. The control device determines the real-time position and status of the telescopic plate 412 by receiving feedback information from sensors and issues commands as needed to control the movement of the telescopic motor 411. The electrical connection is made via cable or wireless transmission system, ensuring that the control device can accurately control the operation of the telescopic motor 411 and achieve the necessary adjustments to the telescopic plate 412 during hoisting.
[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the control device includes a wind direction measuring instrument, a wind speed measuring instrument, a gyroscope, and a central processing unit. The wind direction measuring instrument is used to measure the wind direction in real time, the wind speed measuring instrument is used to measure the wind speed in real time, and the gyroscope is used to measure the tilt and rotation angle of the dynamic balance fixing device 3 in real time. The central processing unit receives drive feedback from the measuring instrument, the wind speed measuring instrument, the gyroscope, and the drive motors 8 of the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43, and generates control parameters for the drive motors 8 of the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 in real time.
[0076] In one possible implementation, the wind direction measuring instrument is connected to the central processing unit via an electrical signal or data cable. The wind direction measuring instrument measures the wind direction around the tower hoisting equipment in real time and transmits the measurement results to the central processing unit. The central processing unit adjusts the angle and direction of the windward plate 41 according to changes in wind direction to ensure that the equipment can utilize or resist wind forces to the maximum extent during hoisting.
[0077] Furthermore, the anemometer is used to measure the wind speed in the current environment in real time, and is also connected to the central processing unit via electrical signals or data cables. Changes in wind speed directly affect the safety of the hoisting equipment; therefore, the central processing unit dynamically adjusts the working status of the windward plate 41 and other related components based on real-time changes in wind speed. If the wind speed exceeds the safe range, the central processing unit can issue instructions to adjust the operating status of the equipment or suspend the hoisting operation to ensure operational safety.
[0078] Furthermore, gyroscopes are used to measure the dynamic balance of the lifting equipment in real time, monitoring its tilt and rotation angles. Through the gyroscopes, the central processing unit (CPU) can monitor the equipment's attitude changes in real time, ensuring stability during lifting and preventing instability due to excessive tilt or rotation. The gyroscope's feedback signal is connected to the CPU via sensors, which then adjusts the equipment's orientation and position based on the real-time tilt data.
[0079] Furthermore, the central processing unit not only receives feedback information from various measuring instruments (wind direction meter, anemometer, gyroscope), but also receives real-time drive feedback from the drive motors 8 in the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43. After the feedback signal from the drive motor 8 is transmitted to the central processing unit, the central processing unit combines environmental data (such as wind direction, wind speed, equipment tilt, etc.) to calculate and generate control parameters in real time. Through these control parameters, the central processing unit can precisely adjust the drive motors 8 in the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43, adjusting the rotation angle, moving speed, and stability of the tower section to ensure the smooth progress of the hoisting operation.
[0080] Furthermore, the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 work together to lift the tower section. The central processing unit dynamically adjusts the drive motors 8 of the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 based on real-time measured data, ensuring precise positioning at every step of the lifting process through a feedback control system. For example, when wind speed and direction change, the central processing unit will instruct the rotating device 42 to fine-tune the direction of the lifting tower, avoiding operational instability caused by wind. Simultaneously, dynamic balance data provided by the gyroscope ensures that the lifting equipment always maintains the appropriate angle and attitude.
[0081] In this embodiment of the invention, the control device further includes a meteorological data receiver, which is used to receive real-time meteorological data from an external meteorological station and transmit the real-time meteorological data to a central processor to adjust the windward area of the windward plate 41 in real time.
[0082] In one possible implementation, the meteorological data receiver transmits received external meteorological data to the central processing unit via wireless signals, data cables, or other communication protocols (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G / 5G networks, etc.). The meteorological data receiver can receive real-time weather data from external weather stations, including important parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure. After receiving this data, the central processing unit can quickly compare and analyze real-time weather changes and make adjustments to the hoisting operation accordingly.
[0083] Furthermore, upon receiving real-time meteorological data, the central processing unit automatically adjusts the windward area of the windward plate 41 based on meteorological information such as wind speed and direction. Specifically, if an increase in wind speed or a change in wind direction is detected in real time, the central processing unit calculates the optimal windward area and instructs the windward plate 41 to make corresponding adjustments. By changing the windward area of the windward plate 41, the hoisting equipment can better cope with changes in external wind force and avoid instability caused by an excessively large or small windward area.
[0084] Furthermore, the meteorological data receiver monitors changes in the external environment in real time and directs the windward plate 41 and other components of the hoisting equipment to make necessary adjustments via the central processing unit. These adjustments ensure that the tower hoisting equipment remains stable during operation, avoiding operational risks caused by weather factors. The central processing unit determines whether hoisting operations need to be stopped based on real-time meteorological data, especially when wind speed is too high or wind force changes significantly, and can immediately issue a pause command to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, the hoisting equipment for the tower section also includes a remote control device. The remote control device includes a wireless communication device and a remote operation terminal. The wireless communication device is electrically connected to the central processing unit of the control device. The remote operation terminal communicates with the central processing unit through the wireless communication device. The operator monitors and controls the operation of the hoisting equipment in real time through the remote operation terminal.
[0086] In one possible implementation, the remote control device consists of a wireless communication device and a remote operation terminal. The wireless communication device is electrically connected to the central processing unit (CPU) of the hoisting equipment's control system via wireless signals (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G / 5G networks). The wireless communication device is responsible for converting the operation commands from the remote operation terminal into signals that the CPU can understand, and for returning status information from the CPU to the remote operation terminal. The remote operation terminal then interacts with the equipment in real time through these signals for remote monitoring and control.
[0087] Furthermore, the remote operation terminal is typically a portable device, such as a tablet, smartphone, or dedicated control terminal, that integrates a monitoring interface and control functions. Operators can use the remote operation terminal to view the real-time operating status of the hoisting equipment, equipment parameters, environmental data (such as wind speed and temperature), and other relevant information. In addition, operators can send commands through the terminal to control various functions of the hoisting equipment (such as starting, stopping, adjusting speed, and adjusting the windshield angle).
[0088] Furthermore, when operators send commands via the remote control terminal, the wireless communication device transmits these commands to the central processing unit (CPU), which then performs corresponding operations on the equipment based on the commands. Simultaneously, the CPU continuously monitors the equipment's operating status and feeds back relevant data (such as equipment operating status and fault alarms) to the remote control terminal, ensuring that operators can promptly grasp the real-time status of the equipment.
[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, the hoisting equipment also includes a video monitoring device, which is installed on the support frame 1 and the hoist 2. It is used to monitor the position of the tower section and the status of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 and the anti-rotation device 4 in real time during the hoisting process. The video monitoring device is electrically connected to the central processing unit and transmits the monitoring data to the central processing unit. The central processing unit generates a safety alarm signal in real time based on the monitoring data and sends it to the operator through a wireless communication device.
[0090] In one possible implementation, video monitoring devices are installed on the support frame 1 and the hoist 2. These installation positions ensure real-time monitoring of key components during the tower section hoisting process (such as the hoisting position, dynamic balancing device 3, and anti-rotation device 4). As important components of the hoisting equipment, the status and operation of the support frame 1 and the hoist 2 are crucial to safety during the hoisting process; therefore, installing video monitoring devices at these locations allows for comprehensive monitoring of the hoisting process.
[0091] Furthermore, the video monitoring device is electrically connected to the central processing unit of the hoisting equipment via a data transmission interface (such as wired or wireless signal) to ensure that the monitoring images can be transmitted to the central processing unit in real time. The central processing unit performs image processing based on the video signal, extracts key data during the hoisting process, and monitors the position of the tower section, the status of the balancing and fixing device, and the operation of the anti-rotation device 4.
[0092] Furthermore, the video monitoring device captures images or video data in real time during the hoisting process and transmits the data to the central processing unit. The central processing unit uses the image data to determine whether the equipment's functions are working properly and whether there are any potential hazards, such as tower section deviation, failure of the balancing and fixing device, or abnormality of the anti-rotation device 4. If any abnormality is detected, the central processing unit will generate a corresponding safety alarm signal.
[0093] Furthermore, the safety alarm signal generated by the central processing unit is sent to the operator's remote control terminal (such as a tablet computer or mobile phone) via a wireless communication device. Upon receiving the alarm signal, the operator can immediately respond and take appropriate emergency measures to ensure the safe conduct of the hoisting operation.
[0094] Work process:
[0095] The operation of the tower section hoisting equipment involves several key steps, primarily relying on the coordinated work of the support frame 1, hoist 2, dynamic balancing and fixing device 3, anti-rotation device 4, and control device. Specifically:
[0096] The support frame 1 of the hoisting equipment is first installed and fixed on the ground, providing a stable foundation for the entire hoisting process. The fixed end of the hoist 2 is installed on the support frame 1 to provide lifting power. The lower mounting part 33 of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 is connected and fixed to the tower section device to form a hoisting point, ensuring that the tower section will not shift during hoisting. Next, the hoist 2 starts operating, and the hoisting rope 5 is connected to the upper part of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 via the upper mounting part 32, beginning to lift the tower section device. The force during the lifting process is transmitted to the tower section device through the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 to maintain its balance. The damping balancing device 34 in the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 functions, reducing or avoiding instability or tilting of the tower section device during hoisting through the control of the flywheel damper 342. The rotating shaft of the flywheel damper 342 is connected to the fixed frame 341, providing anti-tilting force to stabilize the hoisting state of the tower section.
[0097] Furthermore, the windward plate 41 in the anti-rotation device 4 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 31 via a rotating device 42 and a moving device 43 to prevent the tower section from rotating or rotating uncontrollably during hoisting. The windward plate 41 automatically adjusts its angle according to changes in wind direction to resist the influence of wind on the tower section. The moving device 43 controls the movement trajectory and angle of the windward plate 41 to make it move against the wind direction, reducing the possibility of rotation. The rotating device 42 controls the rotation of the windward plate 41 to ensure that the tower section is prevented from rotating due to external interference (such as wind).
[0098] Furthermore, the control device includes multiple measuring instruments (such as anemometers, wind direction meters, gyroscopes, etc.) and a central processing unit. Wind speed and direction data are collected in real time by the anemometers, and the gyroscope monitors the tilt and rotation angle of the dynamic balancing device 3 in real time. The central processing unit dynamically adjusts the control parameters of the rotating device 42 and the moving device 43 based on this data. The control device receives real-time meteorological data from an external meteorological station through a meteorological data receiver and adjusts the windward area of the windward plate 41 to minimize the impact of wind. This adjustment is automatic, ensuring that the equipment can still operate stably under different weather conditions.
[0099] Furthermore, operators can monitor and control the hoisting equipment via a remote control terminal. Through a wireless communication device, the remote control terminal communicates with the central processing unit, allowing operators to monitor the equipment's operating status in real time and make necessary adjustments. The hoisting equipment is also equipped with a video monitoring device for real-time monitoring of the tower section position and the working status of the dynamic balancing fixing device 3 and the anti-rotation device 4. The video monitoring data is analyzed by the central processing unit, and a safety alarm is issued when a problem is detected, allowing operators to react promptly.
[0100] Furthermore, once the tower section is safely hoisted to the designated position, hoist 2 stops operating, and the hoisting process ends. Dynamic balancing device 3 continues to maintain the stability of the tower section, and anti-rotation device 4 ensures that the device will not rotate after hoisting. After hoisting is complete, all sensor data and monitoring information are fed back to the central processing unit for final evaluation. Data such as equipment status, hoisting process performance, and potential problems are recorded for subsequent maintenance and improvement.
