[0031] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. In addition, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the circular tube spliced ​​tower structure of the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of tower connection sections 100 sequentially connected from bottom to top, and each tower connection section 100 includes a lower tower connection part 101 and an upper tower connection part 102 spliced ​​to each other.

[0033] Among them, the lower section tower connection part 101 includes a plurality of lower steel circular tubes 1 and an upper annular steel plate 2 arranged in a ring shape, the upper end of each lower steel circular tube 1 is fixedly connected to the upper annular steel plate 2, and a plurality of lower connection components corresponding to the lower steel circular tubes 1 are provided on the upper end surface of the upper annular steel plate 2, and each lower connection component includes a first inner ring connection plate 3 and a first outer ring connection plate 4.

[0034] Among them, the upper tower connection part 102 includes a plurality of upper steel circular tubes 5 and a lower annular steel plate 6 arranged in a ring shape, the lower end of each upper steel circular tube 5 is fixedly connected to the lower annular steel plate 6, and a plurality of upper connection components corresponding to the upper steel circular tubes 5 are provided on the lower end surface of the lower annular steel plate 6, and each upper connection component includes a second inner ring connection plate 7 and a second outer ring connection plate 8.

[0035] The first inner ring connecting plate 3 and the second inner ring connecting plate 7 are connected via first connecting bolts 9 , and the first outer ring connecting plate 4 and the second outer ring connecting plate 8 are connected via second connecting bolts 10 .

[0036] Thus, the manufacture of the upper tower connection part 102 and the lower tower connection part 101 can be completed in the factory, and then the required number of upper tower connection parts 102 and lower tower connection parts 101 can be transported to the construction site, which is convenient for transportation and effectively reduces the transportation cost. Then, the corresponding lower tower connection part 101 is connected to the upper tower connection part 102 at the construction site to form a tower connection section 100, and then the sequential splicing and installation between each tower connection section 100 is completed by hoisting, which is convenient for construction and effectively improves the construction efficiency. In addition, since each lower tower connection part 101 is supported by multiple lower steel round tubes 1 arranged in a ring shape, and each upper tower connection part 102 is supported by multiple upper steel round tubes 5 arranged in a ring shape, it is ensured that the tower connection section 100 can meet the structural strength and stiffness requirements of the tower. The structural form in which multiple tower connection sections 100 are connected in sequence can meet the height requirements of the tower.

[0037] Therefore, the circular tube splicing tower structure of the embodiment of the present invention can meet the requirements of the tower structure for height, rigidity and strength while taking into account the engineering cost, thereby reducing the cost.

[0038] Specifically, concrete 11 may be poured into each lower steel circular tube 1 and each upper steel circular tube 5 to further improve the overall structural strength of the tower.

Each first outer ring connecting plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper end annular steel plate 2, and each first outer ring connecting plate 4 is arranged one-to-one with each lower steel circular tube 1.

The lower ends of the second inner ring connecting plate 7 and the second outer ring connecting plate 8 are respectively in contact with the upper end surface of the upper end annular steel plate 2. This structural form of the lower connecting assembly and the upper connecting assembly can realize the rapid and reliable installation and docking between the lower tower section connecting part 101 and the upper tower section connecting part 102, reduce the construction difficulty, make the construction and installation more convenient, and effectively improve the construction efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the first inner ring connecting plate 3 is an arc, and a plurality of first inner ring connecting plates 3 can be enclosed to form a circular structure. The cross section of the first outer ring connecting plate 4 is an arc, and a plurality of first outer ring connecting plates 4 can be enclosed to form a circular structure. The cross section of the second inner ring connecting plate 7 is an arc, and a plurality of second inner ring connecting plates 7 can be enclosed to form a circular structure. The cross section of the second outer ring connecting plate 8 is an arc, and a plurality of second outer ring connecting plates 8 can be enclosed to form a circular structure. That is, this structural arrangement of the lower connecting assembly and the upper connecting assembly can further improve the structural stability and reliability after the lower connecting assembly and the upper connecting assembly are connected.
