Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbines, in particular to a single-blade hoisting and docking auxiliary device for offshore wind turbines. Background Art
[0002] During the construction of offshore wind turbine blade hoisting, one operation process includes first lifting the hoisting fixture with a crane, then carrying the fixture directly to the transport ship to clamp the offshore wind turbine blades, and then barging to a self-elevating wind power installation platform or directly installing the blades. However, since the blade transport ship is affected by surge currents, the ship and the transported blades will float together. Since the material of the offshore wind turbine blades is relatively fragile compared to the hoisting fixture made of steel, if the offshore wind turbine blades clamped by the hoisting fixture shake too much, the hoisting fixture will hit the blades and cause damage to the blades.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN217350410U) discloses a lifting device for offshore wind turbine blades, including a lifting clamp, at least one transport vehicle and a limiting structure, wherein the lifting clamp is suitable for clamping the offshore wind turbine blades; the limiting structure is connected to the transport vehicle, and each of the transport vehicles is connected to at least one group of the limiting structures, and the limiting structure is suitable for cooperating with the bottom limiting function of the lifting clamp to limit and fix the lifting clamp in the length direction of the offshore wind turbine blade clamped by the lifting clamp. The lifting device for offshore wind turbine blades provided by the utility model can achieve refined docking during the clamping process of the offshore wind turbine blades and avoid damage to the offshore wind turbine blades caused by large shaking.
[0004] The above-mentioned lifting device for offshore wind turbine blades still has certain shortcomings. The lifting clamp can be a C-type clamp, which can simultaneously clamp the offshore wind turbine blade at two positions in the length direction of the offshore wind turbine blade.

The second threaded rod 304 drives the right second threaded rod 304 to rotate together through a transmission assembly 305. The outer surfaces of the two second threaded rods 304 are provided with a transmission assembly 305, and the left second threaded rod 304 drives the right second threaded rod 304 to rotate through the transmission assembly 305.
[0029] The outer surfaces of the two second threaded rods 304 are threadedly connected to two movable plates 306. The two second threaded rods 304 rotate simultaneously, driving the two movable plates 306 to move relative to or opposite to each other simultaneously. A plurality of telescopic rods 307 are fixed to opposite sides of the two movable plates 306. Springs 308 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the telescopic rods 307.

[0030] Among them, the transmission assembly 305 includes a sprocket fixed to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 304, and the outer surfaces of the two sprockets are connected with chains for transmission.

At the same time, the spring 308 can fix the blade more stably.
[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0034] (1) When the housing 1 moves the blades to the vicinity of the wind turbine, the electric push rod 401 is started, and the electric push rod 401 pushes the box body 402 and the connecting rod 403 to move together, so that the wind turbine is located between the four clamping plates 408, and the first motor 409 is started. The first motor 409 drives the first bevel gear 404 to rotate, and drives the second bevel gear 405 and the first threaded rod 406 to rotate together through the first bevel gear 404. Since the two sections of the first threaded rod 406 have opposite directions of threads, the first threaded rod 406 rotates to drive the two moving blocks 407 to move relative to each other at the same time. The moving blocks 407 will slide on the outer surface of the sliding rod to increase the stability of the moving blocks 407 when they move. When the moving blocks 407 move, they will drive the clamping plates 408 to move together. After the wind turbine is fixed by the clamping plates 408, the electric push rod 401 works in the reverse direction to drive the housing 1 and the fixed blades to move together, so as to facilitate the docking of the blades with the wind turbine.
[0035] (2) The blade is placed between the upper and lower fixed plates 309, and the second motor 301 is started. The second motor 301 drives the third bevel gear 302 to rotate, and the fourth bevel gear 303 and the second threaded rod 304 are driven to rotate together through the third bevel gear 302. The second threaded rod 304 drives the left end sprocket to rotate. The left end sprocket drives the right end sprocket and the right end second threaded rod 304 to rotate together through the chain. The two second threaded rods 304 rotate simultaneously, driving the two movable plates 306 to move relative to each other at the same time. The movable plate 306 drives the fixed plate 309 to move through the telescopic rod 307 and fit with the blade. The movable plate 306 continues to move, and the spring 308 is compressed by the contact between the fixed plate 309 and the blade to prevent damage to the blade. At the same time, the blade can be fixed more stably by the spring 308.
