Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine tower maintenance, and in particular to a wind turbine tower maintenance robot. Background Art
[0002] Wind turbine tower is the tower pole of wind power generation, which plays a supporting role and absorbs the vibration of the unit. It is usually made of high-strength steel. In order to facilitate the installation of the tower, the tower will be divided into multiple sections, and then the two ends of the tower will be connected by flanges. At the same time, a platform will be set at the end of the tower to facilitate workers to connect.
[0003] After the wind turbine tower is installed, in order to increase the service life of the wind turbine tower, the tower needs to be maintained regularly. During wind power generation, the vibration of the unit will inevitably cause the bolts to no longer be tightened, and they need to be tightened in time. Workers will carry hydraulic wrenches to tighten the bolts.
[0004] When performing tower maintenance, most of the maintenance is done manually. Workers climb ladders or elevators to reach the end of a tower section, and then check the tightness of the bolts one by one. When using a hydraulic wrench to tighten the bolts, workers are required to align and tighten them one by one. There are many bolts, the process is cumbersome, and the maintenance efficiency is low. At the same time, when using a hydraulic wrench, the bolts will produce a reaction force on the hydraulic wrench, so workers need to overcome this reaction force to tighten the bolts. Directly abutting one end of the hydraulic wrench on the tower, although the tower can be relied on to overcome the reaction force, the tower has a certain curvature, and direct abutment may cause scratches on the surface of the tower, and the anti-corrosion coating is no longer complete, so it needs to be re-sprayed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0035] Combined with Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 As shown, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a hexagonal prism 2 51 rotatably set on the L-shaped plate 1 and corresponding to the hexagonal prism 1 43, a hexagonal prism sleeve 2 52 is provided on the bottom surface of the hexagonal prism 2 51, the hexagonal prism 1 43 is movably inserted in the hexagonal prism sleeve 2 52, a hydraulic wrench 53 is sleeved on the hexagonal prism 2 51, and the two hydraulic wrenches 53 are arranged oppositely, a T-shaped plate 54 is provided on the L-shaped plate 1 between the two hydraulic wrenches 53, the bottom surface of the T-shaped plate 54 is in contact with the upper surface of the hydraulic wrench 53, a slider 55 is slidably provided on the T-shaped plate 54, and the two ends of the slider 55 are respectively in contact with the two hydraulic wrenches 53.
