AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, during the installation of dual-head wind turbines, the third tower cannot be guaranteed to connect with the second tower after being hoisted to a high altitude, which necessitates lowering it down and then hoisting it again, thus reducing construction efficiency.

Method used

The method of simultaneous hoisting using double-sided cranes is adopted. The third tower is pre-connected with the second tower to ensure that the flange holes are aligned before hoisting. Combined with the intermediate cable connection, the problem of being unable to connect after high-altitude hoisting is avoided.

Benefits of technology

This improved the safety and efficiency of the installation of dual-head wind turbines, avoiding the need to lower them down and then reinstall them after high-altitude hoisting, thus enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the construction.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a construction method for synchronously hoisting a double-head wind turbine airfoil tower by using double-side cranes, and belongs to the technical field of offshore wind turbine hoisting. BACKGROUND

[0002] In offshore wind power development, two independent main machines share a tower to form a double-head wind turbine. When hoisting and constructing the double-head wind turbine, the safety of the construction needs to be ensured.

[0003] The existing double-head hoisting technology, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218595982U, discloses simultaneously hoisting a tower on both sides of an airfoil tower, and the tower is composed of multiple sections. For the third tower of the machine cabin adapter, when directly hoisted to a high altitude, it cannot be ensured that the second tower can be connected, so it needs to be lowered and then hoisted, which reduces the construction efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the application provides a construction method for synchronously hoisting a double-head wind turbine airfoil tower by using double-side cranes.

[0005] The application is implemented by the following technical solutions.

[0006] The application provides a construction method for synchronously hoisting a double-head wind turbine airfoil tower by using double-side cranes, which comprises the following steps:

[0007] Through the third tower and the second tower pre-connection step, the flange hole positions of the two groups of third towers and the second tower are pre-connected.

[0008] The third tower and the second tower pre-connection step comprises the following steps:

[0009] The third tower is connected with the crane, and a guide pin is installed at the diagonal position on the second tower connection surface. The flange surface of the third tower and the second tower is basically located in the vertical direction through the crane;

[0010] The third tower is slowly and smoothly moved to the connection surface position of the second tower by controlling the crane, and the guide pin is aligned;

[0011] The flange surfaces of the third tower and the second tower are aligned, all high-strength bolts are passed, and it is confirmed that all the bolts can be completely passed without nuts;

[0012] The bolts are removed, the crane is moved, the third tower is returned to the original support, and the crane is removed;

[0013] The connection flange hole positions of another group of third towers and the second tower are pre-connected according to the above steps; and the pre-connection of the two groups of third towers and the second tower is completed.

[0014] After the step of pre-docking the third tower and the second tower, the method further includes the step of hoisting the first tower and the second tower assembly.

[0015] The steps of hoisting the first tower and the second tower assembly include:

[0016] After confirming that the flange holes of the third tower and the second tower of the two groups are all in the correct position, start hoisting the first tower and the second tower assembly;

[0017] Lift the combined assembly of the first tower and the second tower to above the tower connecting piece using a crane;

[0018] Continue to lift the combined assembly of the first tower and the second tower so that the flange surface of the first tower is parallel to the installation surface of the tower connector;

[0019] Rotate the combined assembly of the first tower and the second tower along the axis so that the bolt holes of the end flange of the first tower are aligned with the positioning pins on the tower connecting member;

[0020] Control the crane to slowly move the first tower and the second tower assembly, and align the bottom flange of the first tower with the tower connector along the positioning pins;

[0021] Put on all 212 high-strength studs and high-strength nuts on the inside and outside to realize the assembly of the first tower and the second tower and the tower connector;

[0022] According to the above steps, hoist the first tower and the second tower assembly on the other side and align them with the other side of the working tower connection piece;

[0023] The first tower and the second tower assembly are connected by an intermediate cable, and then the crane is removed.

[0024] After the step of hoisting the first tower and the second tower assembly, the method further includes the step of splicing the cabin adapter and the third tower.

[0025] The step of splicing the nacelle adapter and the third tower includes:

[0026] First install the platform inside the cabin adapter, then assemble the cabin adapter and the third tower, fasten them with studs, and then hoist the third tower and cabin adapter assembly together, doing it on both sides simultaneously.

[0027] After the step of splicing the nacelle adapter and the third tower, the method further includes the step of hoisting the third tower and the nacelle adapter to form an assembly.

[0028] The step of hoisting the third tower and the nacelle adapter assembly includes:

[0029] When hoisting the third tower and nacelle adapter assembly, a double-lift hoisting method is used, with both left and right sides hoisting at the same time;

[0030] Lift the third tower and nacelle adapter assembly, as well as the upwind and downwind inclined cables, to the top of the corresponding second tower;

[0031] Rotate the third tower and nacelle adapter assembly along the axis, align the bolt holes of the second tower and the middle flange of the third tower, then move the third tower and nacelle adapter assembly by crane, align the middle flange of the third tower and the middle flange of the second tower along the positioning pins, and put on high-strength bolts, high-strength washers, and high-strength nuts to complete the splicing and installation.

[0032] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that before the cabin adapter and the third tower assembly are installed, the third tower is pre-docked with the second tower docking flange hole, and then in the subsequent docking construction of the cabin adapter and the third tower assembly with the first tower and the second tower assembly, it is avoided that after hoisting to a high altitude, it is impossible to ensure that the docking can be achieved and it needs to be lowered and then hoisted again. This solves the problem in the prior art that hoisting to a high altitude cannot ensure that the docking can be achieved and it needs to be lowered and then hoisted again, which reduces the construction efficiency.
