Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grinding equipment, and specifically relates to an automatic grinding equipment for bevels of steel plates for wind turbine towers. Background Technology
[0002] As the core supporting structure of a wind power generation system, the manufacturing quality of the wind turbine tower directly affects the long-term operational stability and service life of the entire machine. The tower is usually assembled by welding multiple steel plate sections. The machining accuracy and surface quality of the steel plate bevel are key factors in ensuring the welding strength. To ensure the full fusion of the weld and the reliability of the structure during the welding process, the bevel area must be finely ground to thoroughly remove oxide scale, burrs and machining marks, providing a good foundation for high-quality welding.
[0003] Traditional beveling of wind turbine tower steel plates mainly relies on semi-automatic or handheld equipment, typically using grinding wheels, angle grinders, or small milling machines. During operation, auxiliary positioning and feeding are required. The oxide layer, burrs, and unevenness on the bevel surface are removed by rotary grinding or milling. This type of grinding equipment usually first fixes the wind turbine tower steel plate, then mounts the grinding equipment on top of the steel plate. As the grinding equipment advances, it aligns with one bevel on the wind turbine tower steel plate for grinding. After grinding one bevel, the output end is aligned with another bevel on the bottom of the steel plate for grinding again, thus completing the beveling of the wind turbine tower steel plate.
[0004] During the manufacturing process of wind turbine towers, the steel plates of the towers need to undergo fine grinding to ensure a smooth and flawless surface, thereby improving the overall strength and service life of the tower. The aforementioned traditional wind turbine tower steel plate beveling grinding equipment is mainly used for grinding the upper and lower bevels of the wind turbine tower. These devices can grind the upper and lower bevels in a predetermined order. Although such equipment performs well in grinding the upper and lower bevels, the surface of the wind turbine tower does not only include the upper and lower bevels. The upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate edges also need to be ground to ensure their flatness and smoothness. However, traditional bevel grinding equipment is often used to grind specific areas, making it difficult to process multiple surfaces that need grinding simultaneously. This seriously affects the overall grinding efficiency of the tower and increases production time and costs.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides an automatic grinding equipment for bevels of steel plates for wind turbine towers. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic grinding equipment for the bevel of steel plates for wind turbine towers. This equipment can automatically move on the steel plate and perform grinding, simultaneously grinding the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate edges as well as the upper and lower bevels. The grinding results in good flatness and smoothness, and higher grinding efficiency.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: An automatic grinding device for the bevel of steel plates used in wind turbine towers includes a mobile trolley capable of moving and traveling on the steel plate. A grinding bevel is provided on one side of the steel plate. The mobile trolley includes a body, with a mounting plate on the upper part of the body. A grinding frame is mounted in the middle of the mounting plate. The grinding frame extends outward and is correspondingly positioned to the grinding bevel. A liftable upper moving seat and a lower moving seat are respectively mounted on the grinding frame via a guide mechanism. An upper servo motor and a lower servo motor are respectively mounted on the upper and lower moving seats. The grinding machine frame has several through slots corresponding to the upper and lower servo motors. The output shafts of the upper and lower servo motors pass through the corresponding through slots and are equipped with a flat grinding wheel. The flat grinding wheels of the upper and lower servo motors are respectively set on the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate edge. The front grinding assembly and the rear grinding assembly are respectively installed on the mounting plate on the front and rear sides of the grinding machine frame. The grinding bevel includes an upper bevel and a lower bevel. The front grinding assembly and the rear grinding assembly are respectively set on the upper bevel and the lower bevel.
[0008] In operation, the mobile trolley moves along the steel plate. The output shafts of the upper and lower servo motors pass through the grinding machine frame. The flat grinding wheels on the output shafts of the upper and lower servo motors are respectively positioned to correspond to the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate. The upper and lower movable seats on the grinding machine frame can be raised and lowered to adjust their positions, thereby adjusting the upper and lower flat grinding wheels to fit closely to the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate for grinding. At the same time, the first inclined grinding wheel on the front grinding assembly grinds the upper inclined bevel, and the second inclined grinding wheel on the rear grinding assembly grinds the lower inclined bevel. As the mobile trolley moves along the steel plate, the side of the steel plate can be ground.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention provides an integrated and highly adaptable automatic grinding device for the bevel of steel plates used in wind turbine towers. By integrating the front grinding assembly, the rear grinding assembly, and the centrally located dual grinding wheel system onto the same self-propelled platform, it achieves synchronous and continuous grinding of the steel plate bevel and its upper and lower surfaces, significantly improving overall processing efficiency and avoiding the cumbersome process of multiple positioning and step-by-step operation required by traditional equipment. The device adopts a multi-level adjustable structure, such as the design of the rotating guide rod, linear guide rail, and moving slider in the front and rear grinding assemblies. This allows the position, angle, and pressure of the grinding wheels to be flexibly adjusted according to the steel plate thickness, bevel shape, and surface curvature, enhancing the device's adaptability to workpieces of different specifications and ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of the grinding process. This effectively solves the technical bottlenecks of traditional equipment, such as narrow applicability and inconvenient adjustment.
[0010] 2. The automatic grinding equipment for bevels of steel plates on wind turbine towers of the present invention further ensures grinding quality and equipment stability by introducing a composite vibration reduction system and an autonomous chip removal mechanism. By setting a damper and a combination of compression and tension springs at the lifting guide rail, the vibration and impact generated during the grinding process are effectively absorbed and buffered, reducing uneven grinding and equipment damage caused by vibration, and improving the reliability of long-term operation. At the same time, the output shaft of the servo motor drives the bevel gear transmission fan to form a multi-directional and inclined airflow in the air duct. Combined with the specially designed scraper groove structure on the grinding wheel, the grinding chips are removed and guided in real time, reducing the accumulation of chips that affect the grinding effect and cause secondary pollution. This grinding equipment not only reduces the frequency of manual cleaning, but also ensures the continuous cleanliness of the grinding area, thereby improving the surface quality of the weld bevel and providing a good foundation for subsequent welding processes.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mounting plate is arranged horizontally, and a rear mounting part is provided on the side of the mounting plate away from the grinding bevel. A support seat is provided on the mounting plate, and the grinding machine frame is fixed on the support seat. The grinding machine frame is L-shaped and includes a flat plate and a vertical plate. The flat plate is fixed on the support seat, and the edge of the flat plate extends horizontally beyond the edge of the steel plate. The vertical plate is provided corresponding to the grinding bevel.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the guiding mechanism includes two vertical lifting guide rails arranged parallel to each other on the vertical plate. Each lifting guide rail is equipped with an upper electric slide and a lower electric slide that can move up and down. The upper and lower electric slides are arranged vertically and correspondingly to each other. The upper electric slides on the two lifting guide rails are arranged horizontally and correspondingly to each other. The lower electric slides on the two lifting guide rails are arranged horizontally and correspondingly to each other. The upper moving seat is fixed to the outer side of the two upper electric slides, and the lower moving seat is fixed to the outer side of the two lower electric slides. Two through slots are provided. The through slots are vertical waist-shaped slots. The two through slots are opened vertically and correspondingly in the middle of the vertical plate of the grinding machine frame. The two lifting guide rails are located on the left and right sides of the two through slots respectively. The output shaft of the upper servo motor passes longitudinally through the upper moving seat and then through the corresponding through slot. The output shaft of the lower servo motor passes longitudinally through the lower moving seat and then through the corresponding through slot. The vertical plate of the grinding machine frame is provided with an upper pressure component and a lower tension component corresponding to the upper moving seat and the lower moving seat respectively.

Two lower movable supports are respectively set with two upper dampers, and the lower end of the upper damper is connected to the corresponding lower movable support. When the upper movable support descends to the upper flat grinding wheel and contacts the upper surface of the steel plate, the compression spring presses the lower support, thereby causing the flat grinding wheel on the upper movable support to press against the upper surface of the steel plate. The guide rod guides the lifting and lowering movement of the lower support, and the upper dampers provide damping when the upper movable support moves.
[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pull-down force assembly includes an upper fixed support II disposed on each lifting guide rail.

The lower end of the lifting guide rail is provided with a fixed limiting block. When the lower moving seat rises and moves to the contact point between the lower flat grinding wheel and the lower surface of the steel plate, the tension spring I tightens the lower moving support II, thereby causing the flat grinding wheel on the lower moving seat to press against the lower surface of the steel plate. The lower damper provides damping for the movement of the lower moving seat.

[0050] The rear grinding assembly includes a rear support 46 mounted on the mounting plate 2b, located behind the support base 11. A rear ear seat 47 is mounted on the rear support 46, and a rotating frame 48 is rotatably connected to the rear ear seat 47 via a pin 30.

[0051] The output ends of both the first servo motor 44 and the second servo motor 57 are equipped with a first bevel gear 71. A duct 72 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the first servo motor 44 and the second servo motor 57. The duct 72 includes an L-shaped connecting section 72a, an end section 72b, and a side section 72c. The side section 72c and the L-shaped connecting section 72a are respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the first or second oblique grinding wheel 45 or the second oblique grinding wheel 57a. The end section 72b is positioned at the front end of the first or second oblique grinding wheel 45 or the second oblique grinding wheel 57a. The L-shaped connecting section of the duct 72... A support frame 73 is fixedly connected inside 72a. A rotating rod 74 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support frame 73. The rotating rod 74 is perpendicular to the axis of either servo motor 44 or servo motor 57. One end of the rotating rod 74 extends out of the air duct 72 and is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 75. The second bevel gear 75 meshes with the first bevel gear 71. Several fans 76 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 74 and are located inside the air duct 72. Multiple first air holes 77 are opened on the L-shaped connecting section 72a of the air duct 72, and each first air hole 77 is inclined. While the servo motor 44 and servo motor 57 drive the corresponding inclined grinding wheel to rotate, the two bevel gears mesh and drive the rotating rod 74 to rotate. The fans 76 rotate and blow air along the air duct 72 from the first air holes 77 onto the steel plate 1, blowing away the particulate impurities generated during the grinding process.
[0052] The side section 72c of the air duct 72 has multiple second air holes 78, each of which is inclined. The end section 72b of the air duct 72 has several third air holes 79. Several air guide plates 80 are provided on the air duct 72 corresponding to each third air hole 79. Each first air hole 77, second air hole 78, and third air hole 79 is provided corresponding to the grinding bevel 3 of the steel plate 1. The fan 76 blows air along the air duct 72 from the second air holes 78 and third air holes 79 onto the steel plate 1 to remove particulate impurities generated during the grinding process. The air guide plates 80 can guide the air. The first air holes 77, second air holes 78, and third air holes 79 blow air onto the front end and left and right sides of the grinding wheel to achieve all-round removal of impurity particles.
[0053] Both the first slanted grinding wheel 45 and the second slanted grinding wheel 57a have multiple scraper grooves 81 spaced apart circumferentially. One side of each scraper groove 81 is shaped like a scraper blade, and the other side is shaped like a double slope. The scraper grooves 81 can scrape away larger impurity particles generated during the grinding process.
[0054] The guide wheel 65 has an annular groove on its outer circumference, and the cross-sectional shape of the annular groove is triangular. The annular groove matches the side of the steel plate 1, resulting in better guiding effect.
[0055] The wind turbine tower is the core support structure of the wind turbine generator set. It is usually made by rolling multiple large steel plates into cylindrical sections and then welding them together. These tower steel plates are mostly high-strength thick steel plates, characterized by large size, high thickness and strict precision requirements. The processing quality directly determines the overall strength, stability and service life of the tower. During the manufacturing process, the ends of the steel plates need to be beveled in a specific shape to achieve full fusion and reliable connection during welding.
[0056] This invention can simultaneously grind and polish the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate 1 as well as the upper and lower bevels.
[0057] The front grinding assembly and the rear grinding assembly are used to grind the upper and lower bevels 3b of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, respectively. When automatically grinding the bevel of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, the vehicle body 2a drives the grinding equipment to move by itself. The grinding frame 4 serves as the assembly support for the upper and lower surface grinding components. The grinding frame 4 is fixed at the center of the moving trolley 2. The front grinding assembly is located at the front end of the grinding frame 4 and is aligned with the upper bevel of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, while the rear grinding assembly is located at the rear end of the grinding frame 4 and is aligned with the lower bevel of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1.
[0058] As the vehicle body 2a moves, the front grinding assembly aligns with the upper slope of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1 for grinding. The two electric slides slide on their own, so that the two flat grinding wheels 10 are in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. The servo motor drives the two flat grinding wheels 10 to grind the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate 1. The rear grinding assembly aligns with the lower slope of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1 for grinding, achieving the effect of grinding multiple parts of the steel plate 1 at the same time. This replaces the traditional grinding equipment that grinds the upper and lower slopes in a predetermined order, improving grinding efficiency and reducing grinding time. Meanwhile, when grinding the bevel of wind turbine tower steel plates 1 of different thicknesses, the two electric slides can adaptively slide and adjust according to the different thicknesses of the wind turbine tower steel plates 1, so that the two flat grinding wheels 10 can fit against the upper and lower surfaces of the wind turbine tower steel plates 1, ensuring that steel plates 1 of different thicknesses can be ground evenly and effectively, further enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.
[0059] The slanted grinding wheel 45 of servo motor 44 is aligned with the upper slanted bevel 3a of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. Both servo motor 44 and servo motor 57 adopt frequency conversion speed regulation design, which can adjust the speed according to the bevel material and grinding requirements to adapt to the grinding intensity of steel plates 1 with different thicknesses. As the vehicle body 2a moves, it grinds the upper slanted bevel 3a of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. At the same time, the position and angle of servo motor 44 and slanted grinding wheel 45 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the grinding requirements of upper slanted bevel 3a with different shapes and angles. The sliding of the moving outer frame 41 on the rotating guide rod 39 further fine-tunes the contact position between the slanted grinding wheel 45 and the upper slanted bevel 3a to ensure the accuracy of grinding. This multi-dimensional adjustable design enables the front grinding component to complete the grinding work of the upper slanted bevel 3a of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1 efficiently and accurately.
[0060] The servo motor 257's angled grinding wheel 257a is aligned with the lower slope bevel 3b of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. As the vehicle body 2a moves, it grinds the lower slope bevel 3b of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. At the same time, the position and angle of the servo motor 257 and the angled grinding wheel 257a can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the grinding requirements of the lower slope bevel 3b with different shapes and angles. The sliding of the moving frame 54 on the rotating guide rod 251 further fine-tunes the contact position between the angled grinding wheel 257a and the lower slope bevel 3b, ensuring the accuracy of grinding. This multi-dimensional adjustable design enables the rear grinding assembly to efficiently and accurately complete the grinding work of the lower slope bevel 3b of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1.
[0061] The grinding machine frame 4 is equipped with multiple sets of dampers, compression springs, and tension springs. The dampers, in combination with the tension springs and the dampers, in combination with the compression springs, can reduce the vibration during the grinding process, effectively absorb the impact force generated during grinding, reduce uneven grinding caused by vibration and equipment damage, thereby improving grinding quality and extending the service life of the equipment. The combination design of multiple sets of dampers with tension springs and compression springs can also automatically adjust the buffering force according to different grinding pressures and steel plate thickness 1, ensuring a stable shock absorption effect under various working conditions.
[0062] Slide rod 1 (60) and slide rod 2 (63) can be adjusted longitudinally and vertically to ensure that the guide wheel 65 at the bottom of slide rod 2 (63) can accurately fit against one side of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1. As the vehicle body 2a moves at a constant speed, the guide wheel 65 can rotate to limit and guide on one side of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, ensuring the straightness and stability of the grinding equipment during movement, reducing uneven grinding and grinding omissions caused by equipment deviation. At the same time, the rotation design of the guide wheel 65 allows it to adapt to the side of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1 with different curvatures, providing a flexible limiting and guiding function. The clamping bolts 3 (61) and 4 (64) not only play a role in positioning and locking, but their threaded design also facilitates quick adjustment and fixing, improving operating efficiency and reducing equipment debugging time.
[0063] Based on the width of the steel plate 1 being processed, the position of the limiting plate 68 is adaptively adjusted so that the limiting plate 68 corresponds to the side of the steel plate 1 away from the guide wheel 65, ensuring that the limiting plate 68 always corresponds to the other edge of the steel plate 1, forming a bidirectional limiting structure together with the guide wheel 65. This symmetrical guiding design can effectively reduce the probability of equipment deviation and vibration during long-distance movement. When processing steel plates 1 of different widths, the operator only needs to loosen the clamping bolt 70 to quickly slide the limiting plate 68 to the target position and lock it again, making the operation convenient and fast.
[0064] When multiple grinding wheels grind multiple surfaces of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, grinding easily generates a large amount of debris. Multiple air ducts 72 are fixed to servo motor 44 and servo motor 57 respectively. Through bevel gear transmission, air is blown into the air ducts 72 via a fan 76. The air is then blown out from multiple angled No. 1 air holes 77, removing debris from the grinding area at the bottom of the grinding wheels. The simultaneous operation of multiple air ducts 72 creates multiple airflows, effectively removing debris from different locations and preventing debris accumulation that could affect grinding quality. Simultaneously, the angled design of the No. 1 air hole 77 makes the airflow more concentrated, accurately blowing debris away from the grinding area and ensuring that the grinding wheels maintain clean contact with the surface of the steel plate 1, further improving grinding accuracy. To further enhance cleanliness, the fan 76 can reverse to draw in debris particles through the air holes into the air ducts 72, making the process cleaner and safer.
[0065] The air duct 72 has multiple second-level air holes 78, which are inclined. The air duct 72 also has multiple third-level air holes 79. The second-level air holes 78 are inclined on the air duct 72 and located at the front end of the grinding wheel. Multiple first-level air holes 77 are located at the rear end of the grinding wheel. The third-level air holes 79 are divided into two groups: one group is located between the second-level air holes 78 and the grinding wheel, and the other group is located between the first-level air holes 77 and the grinding wheel. Two air guide plates 80 are fixed to the two groups of third-level air holes 79 to block the airflow. This allows air to enter the air duct 72 and exit from the first-level air holes 77, third-level air holes 79, and second-level air holes 78, respectively. Airflow from the first-level air hole 77... The inclined airflow is used to clean the debris at the bottom of the grinding wheel, while the airflow from the two sets of No. 3 air holes 79 is used to blow away the remaining debris from the steel plate 1 directly. The inclined airflow from the No. 2 air hole 78 is used to clean the impurities and remaining debris at the front end of the grinding wheel. This multi-directional airflow design can form a three-dimensional debris cleaning mechanism, ensuring that the debris and impurities generated during the grinding process are completely and thoroughly removed, avoiding the accumulation and secondary adhesion of debris on the surface of the steel plate 1, thereby ensuring the continuous cleanliness of the grinding area and improving the grinding quality and efficiency. At the same time, the shielding design of the air guide plate 80 can precisely control the airflow direction, making the airflow more concentrated on the target area and enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0066] Both the first slanted grinding wheel 45 and the second slanted grinding wheel 57a are provided with multiple scraper grooves 81. One side of each scraper groove 81 is shaped like a shovel, and the other side is double-sloped. When the grinding wheels grind the steel plate 1 of the wind turbine tower, the multiple scraper grooves 81 are evenly distributed on the surface of the grinding wheels. The shovel-shaped side can better cut into the oxide layer and impurities on the surface of the steel plate 1 during the grinding process, playing a preliminary scraping role and improving grinding efficiency. The double-sloped side helps to smoothly discharge the scraped debris and guide it to the blowing structure for cleaning, avoiding the accumulation of debris between the grinding wheel and the steel plate 1, which would affect the grinding effect. This unique structural design enables the grinding wheels to efficiently remove defects from the surface of the steel plate 1 during the grinding process, while ensuring the uniformity and flatness of the grinding, further improving the grinding quality.
[0067] The guide wheel 65 has an annular groove with a triangular cross-section. When the guide wheel 65 at the lower end of the second slide rod is in contact with one side of the wind turbine tower steel plate 1, the triangular cross-section of the annular groove design can enhance the contact friction between the guide wheel 65 and the side of the steel plate 1, ensuring that it is not easy to slip during the guiding process and improving the stability of the limit guidance. At the same time, this structure can also form a slight scraping effect when the guide wheel 65 rotates, automatically removing the small impurities and rust particles attached to the side of the steel plate 1, and avoiding impurities from affecting the guiding accuracy.
[0068] When the invention is in operation, the mobile carriage 2 moves on the steel plate 1. The output shafts of the upper servo motor 7 and the lower servo motor 8 pass through the grinding frame 4. The flat grinding wheels 10 of the output shafts of the upper servo motor 7 and the lower servo motor 8 are respectively set on the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate 1. The upper moving seat 5 and the lower moving seat 6 on the grinding frame 4 can be raised and lowered to adjust their positions, thereby adjusting the upper and lower flat grinding wheels 10 to fit tightly against the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate 1 for grinding. At the same time, the first inclined grinding wheel 45 on the front grinding assembly grinds the upper inclined bevel 3a, and the second inclined grinding wheel 57a on the rear grinding assembly grinds the lower inclined bevel 3b. As the mobile carriage 2 moves on the steel plate 1, the side of the steel plate 1 can be ground.
[0069] This invention provides an integrated and highly adaptable automatic grinding device for the bevel of steel plates 1 of wind turbine towers. By integrating the front grinding assembly, the rear grinding assembly, and the centrally located dual grinding wheel system onto the same self-propelled platform, it achieves synchronous and continuous grinding of the bevel and upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate 1, significantly improving overall processing efficiency and avoiding the cumbersome process of multiple positioning and step-by-step operation required by traditional equipment. The device adopts a multi-level adjustable structure, such as the design of the rotating guide rod, linear guide rail, and moving slider in the front and rear grinding assemblies, which allows the position, angle, and pressure of the grinding wheels to be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness, bevel shape, and surface curvature of the steel plate 1. This enhances the adaptability of the device to workpieces of different specifications, ensures the uniformity and accuracy of the grinding process, and effectively solves the technical bottlenecks of narrow applicability and inconvenient adjustment of traditional equipment.

Based on the technical solutions disclosed in this invention, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative effort, and all such substitutions and modifications are within the protection scope of this invention.
