Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of offshore wind turbine hoisting, and particularly to an offshore wind power construction hoisting device. Background Art

[0002] At present, offshore wind turbines are mainly installed through hoisting devices. The installation methods mainly include split installation and integral installation. In integral installation, after the wind turbine is assembled on an offshore platform or on land, the whole wind turbine is transported to the predetermined sea area, and then the wind turbine is directly installed on the installation base. The advantage is that the offshore operation time is shorter.

[0003] In the prior art, large offshore crane ships with double hooks are mostly used. During the hoisting process, the assembled wind turbine is easily affected by the wind and the swaying of the hull, resulting in large swaying during the installation process of the wind turbine. And when installing the wind turbine on the installation base, it is impossible to adjust according to the current state of the wind turbine, making the installation process more difficult. Moreover, when adjusting the wind turbine through a set adjustment structure, the general adjustment position is located in its lower part, while the hoisting position is in its upper middle part. There are also certain problems in ensuring the stability of the wind turbine during adjustment. Based on this, the present invention designs an offshore wind power construction hoisting device.

The limiting assembly limits the top part of the wind turbine and enables the top of the wind turbine to have a movable space, and the limiting assembly allows the wind turbine to disengage from it only when the wind turbine is in a vertical state.

[0006] In the above-mentioned offshore wind power construction hoisting equipment, a ring-shaped sleeve I is connected in the fixed platform, and the sleeve I is fixed to a threaded hole opened in the middle of the fixed rod through a plurality of bolts I arranged in a ring shape.

[0007] In the above-mentioned offshore wind power construction hoisting equipment, the lower positioning assembly includes a positioning platform, which is connected to the bottom of the fixed platform through a plurality of traction ropes II.

Specific embodiments

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 , a hoisting device for offshore wind power construction, used for hoisting the wind turbine 3, the wind turbine 3 includes a fixed rod 31, a chassis 32, a rotating shaft 33 and a wind wheel 34, and the device includes: A hanging frame 1, the hanging frame is installed on the platform 101, the hanging frame 1 is connected with a first wire reel 102 and two groups of first towing ropes 103, the two groups of first towing ropes 103 are jointly connected with a swing arm 104, the top of the swing arm 104 is connected with a workbench 105, the workbench 105 is rotatably connected with the swing arm 104 and always remains horizontal, and the workbench 105 is connected with a hoisting part, and the hoisting part includes: An upper hoisting component 2, the upper hoisting component 2 includes a pair of hooks 21; A middle layer fixing component 4, the middle layer fixing component 4 includes a fixing platform 41, the fixing platform 41 is installed in the middle of the fixed rod 31, a pair of hanging ports 42 corresponding to the positions of the pair of hooks 21 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the fixing platform 41, the hanging ports 42 are fixed to the top of the fixing platform 41 through multiple strands of ropes, and the hoisting work of the wind turbine 3 is realized through the cooperation of the hooks 21 and the hanging ports 42; The lower positioning component 5 is connected to the bottom of the fixed rod 31 and is connected with an adjusting component 6 for the wind turbine 3. The adjusting component 6 is used to adjust the hoisting state of the wind turbine 3 and control the rotation of the wind turbine 3. By means of the adjusting component 6, the overall tilt angle and rotation angle of the wind turbine 3 can be adjusted. In this way, when the wind turbine 3 is assembled with the installation base, the problem that the wind turbine 3 is tilted or slightly rotated due to the influence of wind force and sea waves can be avoided, which is convenient for real-time adjustment during installation and improves the installation efficiency. At the same time, when the whole machine is transported at sea, the adjusting component 6 can control the wind turbine 3 to be in a tilted and outward-swing state, avoiding the problem that the distance between the wind turbine 3 and the swing arm 104 is too close, thus causing potential safety hazards.

[0024] The upper hoisting component 2 further includes two connecting platforms 22 which are respectively connected to the ends of a corresponding set of traction ropes one 103. Each connecting platform 22 is provided with a guiding part 23 slidably connected to the workbench 105. The moving track of the connecting platform 22 is controlled by the guiding part 23 to reduce the sway of the two hooks 21 during hoisting. A limiting component 7 is arranged at the bottom of the workbench 105 to limit the top part of the chassis 32. A circular sleeve one 43 is connected in the fixed platform 41 and is fixed to the threaded hole opened in the middle of the fixed rod 31 through a plurality of bolts arranged in a circular shape.

[0025] The lower positioning component 5 includes a positioning platform 51 which is connected to the bottom of the fixed platform 41 through a plurality of traction ropes two 52. The positioning platform 51 is connected to the lower part of the fixed rod 31 through a sleeve two 53, and the sleeve two 53 is fixed to the threaded hole opened in the lower part of the fixed rod 31 through a plurality of bolts.

[0026] The adjusting component 6 includes four traction ropes three 61 which are respectively located at the four corner positions of the positioning platform 51. The two traction ropes three 61 at the front side are respectively connected with a wire winding wheel 62 and are connected to a wire reel two 63 through the wire winding wheel 62. The two traction ropes three 61 at the rear side are connected to a wire reel three 64. The wire winding wheel 62 is connected with a moving part 8. Both the wire reel two 63 and the wire reel three 64 are connected with rotating motors. The moving part 8 includes a hydraulic cylinder 81. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 81 is installed on the platform 101, and the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 81 is connected with the wire winding wheel 62.

[0027] The limiting component 7 includes a disc 71 fixed to the bottom of the workbench 105. A circular groove 72 is formed in the disc 71. A limiting shaft 73 is coaxially arranged in the circular groove 72. The limiting shaft 73 is fixed to the top of the chassis 32. A guide rod 74 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the circular groove 72. The guide rod 74 is inserted into a T-shaped groove 75 formed at the top of the limiting shaft 73. The T-shaped groove 75 has an upper part and a lower part. The diameter of the upper part is smaller than that of the lower part. One end of the guide rod 74 located in the T-shaped groove 75 is fixedly connected with a sphere 76. The sphere 76 is arranged with the same diameter as the upper part of the T-shaped groove 75. A guiding ring 77 with a conical structure is arranged at the connection of the upper part and the lower part of the T-shaped groove 75. The inner wall of the lower part abuts against the outer wall of the sphere 76 through a plurality of annularly arranged springs 78. Among them, the position defined by the limiting component 7 is in the T-shaped groove 75. The adjustability of the top position of the wind turbine 3 is realized through the characteristics of the sphere 76. Therefore, it adapts to the angle adjustment of the wind turbine 3, so that the upper end of the wind turbine 3 always remains in a stable state under the transportation conditions of different angles of the wind turbine 3. Among them, in the limiting component 7, since the sphere 76 is arranged with the same diameter as the upper part of the T-shaped groove 75, and the T-shaped groove 75 is fixed to the top of the chassis 32 through the limiting shaft 73, the sphere 76 is allowed to pass through the T-shaped groove 75 only when the guide rod 74 connected to the sphere 76 remains vertical. In this way, it also realizes that when adjusting the angle and position of the wind turbine 3, the upper part thereof always remains in a locked state. This can improve the safety and stability of the transportation of the wind turbine 3. At the same time, it can also improve the installation accuracy of the wind turbine 3 during installation and extend the service life of the wind turbine 3.

[0028] When the present invention is in use, it is hoisted by the upper hoisting component 2. Among them, the middle-layer fixing component 4 fixes the middle part of the fixing rod 31. Then, two hanging ports 42 at the top of the middle-layer fixing component 4 are connected to two hooks 21 at the bottom of the upper hoisting component 2 to realize the hoisting work of hoisting the wind turbine 3. Then, the lower positioning component 5 is used for limiting at the bottom of the fixing rod 31 to keep the wind turbine 3 stable.

[0029] When it is necessary to adjust the hoisting angle of the wind turbine 3, the positioning table 51 in the lower positioning assembly 5 is driven by the adjusting assembly 6 to adjust its angle and position. Among them, when it is necessary to adjust the position, two wire winding wheels three 64 are driven to make the positioning table 51 move towards the platform 101. The positioning table 51 can be driven by the hydraulic cylinder 81 and the wire winding wheel two 64 to move away from the platform 101. When it is necessary to adjust the angle, the rotation in two directions can be achieved by controlling one wire winding wheel two 63 and one wire winding wheel three 64 on the opposite side, and the rotation amplitude can be adjusted by the hydraulic cylinder 81, so that the angle of the wind turbine 3 can be adjusted during overall transportation. It can be used for obstacle avoidance and solve the problems that the wind turbine 3 tilts or rotates slightly due to the influence of wind and waves when assembling the wind turbine 3 with the installation base, and facilitate real-time adjustment during installation, improving the installation efficiency. At the same time, when transporting the whole machine at sea, the wind turbine 3 is controlled to be in an outward swing state to avoid the risk of the wind turbine 3 being too close to the swing arm 104, causing potential safety hazards.

[0030] As is known to those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the above-disclosed embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are encompassed by the present invention.
