Various examples may omit, replace, or add various processes or components as needed. In addition, the features described in some examples may also be combined in other examples.

[0029] The invention provides Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a steel-concrete tower transition connection structure comprises:

[0030] The concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 are coaxially butted and installed at the top of the concrete tower 11. An anchor assembly 2 is arranged inside the steel tower 12. The anchor assembly 2 includes a positioning steel rod 21, a fixing kit and an anchor rod 24. The fixing kit is fixedly sleeved on the positioning steel rod 21. The anchor rod 24 is rotatably installed on the positioning steel rod 21 through the fixing kit. One group of anchor rods 24 is anchored on the inner side wall of the concrete tower 11, and the other group of anchor rods 24 is anchored on the inner side wall of the steel tower 12. The two groups of anchor rods 24 generate an inward anchoring force on the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12, so as to ensure that the butt joint of the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 is firmly connected.

[0031] A telescopic rod is arranged between the positioning steel rod 21 and the anchor rod 24, and the telescopic rod is used to adjust the anchoring force of the anchor rod 24. A tension sensor 28 is arranged between the positioning steel rod 21 and the anchor rod 24, and the tension sensor 28 is used to detect the anchoring force of the anchor rod 24 on the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 in real time, so as to monitor the connection strength of the transition section between the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 in real time.

[0032] Working principle: The anchoring assembly 2 is used to achieve a firm connection between the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12. The telescopic rod is used to adjust the anchoring force of the anchor rod 24. The tension sensor 28 detects the anchoring force of the anchor rod 24 on the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 in real time, thereby monitoring the connection strength of the transition section in real time; real-time monitoring, the tension sensor 28 can detect the anchoring force in real time to ensure the visualization and controllability of the connection strength of the transition section; adjustment function, the telescopic rod can adjust the anchoring force of the anchor rod 24 to adapt to different working conditions and improve the reliability of the connection; structural stability, through the inward anchoring force, ensure that the joints of the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12 are firmly connected, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixing kit includes a fixing kit 1 22 and a fixing kit 2 23, which are fixedly sleeved on the positioning steel rod 21, and two sets of fixing kits 1 22 and fixing kits 2 23 are arranged on the positioning steel rod 21, and the two sets of fixing kits 1 22 and fixing kits 2 23 correspond to two sets of anchoring rods 24 for anchoring the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12. Specifically, a connecting plate 211 is arranged between the fixing kit 1 22 and the fixing kit 2 23, and the connecting plate 211 is supported between the two to ensure the stable position of the fixing kit 1 22 and the fixing kit 2 23 on the positioning steel rod 21.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the anchor rod 24 is rotatably connected with a connecting rod 25, the tension sensor 28 is connected to the anchor rod 24 through the connecting rod 25, and the hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is connected to the anchor rod 24 through the connecting rod 25; the inner end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 27 and the anchor rod 24 are at the same rotational connection position, and the outer end of the tension sensor 28 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 25 and the hydraulic telescopic rod 27 respectively. Specifically, the tension sensor 28 can provide real-time feedback on the change of the anchoring force. When the anchoring force is abnormal, the control system can timely adjust the extension amount of the hydraulic telescopic rod 27, and fine-tune the tension of the anchor rod 24 through the action of the connecting rod 25, so as to maintain the stability of the anchoring force. This real-time monitoring and fine-tuning mechanism can not only effectively prevent structural damage or failure caused by excessive or insufficient anchoring force, but also extend the service life of the tower and improve its reliability and economy.

[0035] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the fixing kit 1 22 and the fixing kit 2 23 are provided with a rotating member 26 for rotational connection, the anchor rod 24 is rotationally connected to the fixing kit 1 22 via the rotating member 26 , and the tension sensor 28 is rotationally connected to the fixing kit 2 23 via the rotating member 26 .

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the top and bottom of the positioning steel rod 21 are fixedly connected with a positioning steel frame 16, the top positioning steel frame 16 is connected to the inner wall of the concrete tower 11 through a positioning support frame 17, and the bottom positioning steel frame 16 is connected to the inner wall of the steel tower 12 through a positioning support frame 17.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the anchor rods 24 are arranged in a plurality of groups distributed in a circular array, the ends of the anchor rods 24 anchoring the concrete tower 11 are connected with connector 2 210, and the ends of the anchor rods 24 anchoring the steel tower 12 are connected with connector 1 29, and both connector 1 29 and connector 2 210 are arranged in an arc structure to adapt to the internal arc shape of the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, regarding the specific splicing method of the concrete tower 11 and the steel tower 12, the concrete tower 11 includes a plurality of groups of tower splicing sections 15 that are spliced ​​and installed, and the steel tower 12 includes a steel cylinder connecting section 13 and a steel cylinder 14. The steel tower 12 is installed on the top of the concrete tower 11 through the steel cylinder connecting section 13 at the bottom.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tower splicing section 15 is also assembled from a plurality of concrete arc blocks, and the number of groups of anchor rods 24 distributed in a circular array is the same as the number of assembled concrete blocks; for example, the tower splicing section 15 is assembled from four concrete blocks, and then four groups of anchor rods 24 distributed in a circular array are provided, and the same number of anchor rods 24 can provide an inward anchoring force for the tower splicing section 15, so that the tower splicing section 15 has a higher structural strength.

[0040] In summary, the present invention also has the following comprehensive effects:

[0041] Dynamic anchoring force adjustment mechanism: the anchor rod 24 is connected by rotation to form a double-acting lever system. The telescopic action of the hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is transmitted to the end of the anchor rod 24 through the connecting rod 25, and the force is amplified / reduced by the lever ratio. When the tower is deformed by wind load, the tension sensor 28 captures the anchoring force fluctuation in real time and triggers the hydraulic system to perform reverse compensation. Multiple groups of anchor rods 24 in a circular array form a radial force balance network to automatically balance the load differences in different directions.

[0042] Closed-loop feedback control logic, the anchoring component 2 also includes a control system, which includes a perception layer, a decision layer, an execution layer and a verification layer; perception layer: the tension sensor 28 monitors the actual force of each anchor point with a sampling period of 10ms; decision layer: compares the preset anchoring force threshold, calculates the deviation and adjustment direction; execution layer: the hydraulic system accurately adjusts the extension amount (accuracy ±0.1mm), and changes the inclination angle of the anchor rod 24 through the connecting rod 25 mechanism; verification layer: secondary detection of the adjusted force value, forming a closed-loop control to ensure the effectiveness of compensation;

[0043] Adaptive stress distribution reconstruction, the anchor rods 24 of the annular array form 24 independent control units in the circumferential direction, each unit automatically adjusts the tension according to the local strain, so that the interface pressure between the concrete and the steel structure is uniform, and the adjacent units can form a force transmission chain under extreme loads to avoid single-point overload. Modular maintenance design principle, a single anchor rod 24 and its associated components constitute an independent functional module, which can be quickly disassembled and replaced through the rotating part 26 when damaged without destroying the overall structure. The arc-shaped connector is designed to fit the inner wall of the tower, ensuring that the mechanical properties are restored immediately after replacement.

[0044] Prestressed stability is improved, and the dynamic compensation system reduces the fluctuation range of anchoring force. A breakthrough in micro-slip suppression is achieved, and the millisecond-level response of the hydraulic system reduces the slippage of the flange connection surface. The three-dimensional constraint of the positioning steel frame 16 eliminates the millimeter-level displacement accumulation of the traditional structure. Maintenance throughout the life cycle is convenient. Structural safety is enhanced in multiple dimensions. This solution transforms static anchoring into dynamic balance through the integrated design of mechanical adjustment and intelligent feedback. Passive maintenance is transformed into active prevention, and a full-time health monitoring system is established. From overall replacement to module repair: the economic model of tower maintenance is reconstructed.

[0045] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but this embodiment is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. The above specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of this embodiment, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms, all of which are protected by this embodiment.
