[0034] The power assembly 130 is connected to the annular body 110 and is used to drive the annular body 110 to move along the axial direction of the tower 10 .
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The working principle of the wind turbine tower cleaning device 100 is:
[0036] The wind turbine tower cleaning device 100 comprises an annular body 110, a cleaning assembly 120 and a power assembly 130; wherein the annular body 110 is used to be sleeved on the wind turbine tower 10; the power assembly 130 is connected to the annular body 110 and is used to drive the annular body 110 to move along the axial direction of the tower 10; thus, the annular body 110 can be driven by the power assembly 130 to move along the axial direction of the tower 10, and then during the movement, the outer surface of the tower 10 is cleaned by the cleaning assembly 120 arranged on the inner side of the annular body 110; during the cleaning of the outer surface of the tower 10 by the cleaning assembly 120, the cleaning liquid or water can be sprayed toward the outer surface of the tower 10 through the liquid outlet pipe 121, and the outer surface of the tower 10 can be wiped by the wiping brush 122 and the wiping cloth 123 during the movement of the annular body 110 along the axial direction of the tower 10;
[0037] Therefore, such a structural setting can clean the outer surface of the tower 10, and in the process, reduce labor, thereby reducing the cleaning risk of the staff. In addition, it can also reduce cleaning costs while improving cleaning efficiency.
[0038] It should be noted that during the cleaning process, the annular body 110 can be driven to move along the axial direction of the tower 10 by the power component 130 mentioned above, and during its movement, the outer surface of the tower 10 can be cleaned by the cleaning component 120 arranged on the inner side of the annular body 110. In addition, the power component 130 can drive the annular body 110 to move around the axial direction of the tower 10, thereby cleaning the outer surface of the tower 10.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, in order to enable the power assembly 130 to drive the annular body 110 to move along the axial direction of the tower 10, the power assembly 130 includes a hoisting rope 131 and a climbing motor 132. The hoisting rope 131 extends along the axial direction of the tower 10; the climbing motor 132 is connected to the top of the tower 10, and the two ends of the hoisting rope 131 are respectively connected to the climbing motor 132 and the annular body 110; or, the climbing motor 132 is connected to the annular body 110, and the two ends of the hoisting rope 131 are respectively connected to the top of the tower 10 and the climbing motor 132. It should be noted that when the hoisting rope 131 and the climbing motor 132 are provided, the climbing motor 132 can be used to reel in the hoisting rope 131 to enable the annular body 110 to move along the axial direction of the tower 10. It should be noted that when the climbing motor 132 is connected to the top of the tower 10, it can not only complete the lifting work of the annular body 110, but also be used for hoisting other materials.
[0040] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 Since the diameters of the tower 10 are different at different positions, in order to make the annular body 110 fit the outer surface of the tower 10 when it moves along its axial direction, the annular body 110 includes a plurality of sub-segments 111 and a plurality of elastic segments 112 around the axial direction of the annular body 110, and the plurality of sub-segments 111 and the plurality of elastic segments 112 are connected end to end; wherein, at least one sub-segment 111 is arranged between any two adjacent elastic segments 112. A wiping brush 122 and a wiping cloth 123 are arranged on the inner side of each sub-segment 111. With such an arrangement, the elastic segment 112 can tighten the two adjacent sub-segments 111 under its elastic force, so that the annular body 110 can fit the outer surface of the tower 10 when it moves along its axial direction.
[0041] On the basis of the above structure, in order to facilitate the annular body 110 to be sleeved on the tower 10, at least one elastic segment 112 is detachably connected to the adjacent sub-segment 111. That is, the annular body 110 can be sleeved on the tower 10 by disassembling one of the elastic segments 112 and the sub-segment 111.
[0042] On the basis of the elastic section 112, in order to adjust the tightness of the annular body 110 and the tower 10, the wind turbine tower cleaning device 100 also includes a tightening belt and a tightening motor; the two ends of the tightening belt are connected to the two sub-segments 111, and the tightening belt is connected to the tightening motor, and the tightening motor is used to reel in or release the tightening belt. Thus, the tightening motor can reel in or release the tightening belt, and then the distance between two adjacent sub-segments 111 can be adjusted, so that the tightness of the annular body 110 and the tower 10 can be adjusted.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the climbing motor 132 is connected to the top of the tower 10, and the two ends of the lifting rope 131 are respectively connected to the climbing motor 132 and the annular body 110, the wind turbine tower cleaning device 100 also includes at least two lifting parts, which are arranged at intervals around the axial direction of the annular body 110; the two lifting parts are both connected to the power assembly 130.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3When configuring the liquid outlet pipe 121, the liquid outlet pipe 121 can be set as a bellows, and the liquid outlet pipe 121 is provided with a plurality of liquid outlet holes 124 around the axial direction of the annular body 110, so that the liquid outlet pipe 121 can adapt to the size change of the annular body 110, and can improve the coverage area of the cleaning liquid or clean water through the provision of a plurality of liquid outlet holes 124, so that the cleaning liquid or clean water can be evenly sprayed on the surface of the tower 10. It should be noted that during the cleaning process, the liquid outlet pipe 121 can be replenished with liquid when the annular body 110 moves to the bottom of the tower 10, and the wiping brush 122 and the wiping cloth 123 can also be cleaned at this position; in addition, based on the above-mentioned structural position, the annular body 110 can be moved to a specific height position of the tower 10 for cleaning.
[0045] In the process of cleaning the tower 10, in order to prevent the annular body 110 from wrinkling or greatly deforming along the axial direction of the tower 10, the wind turbine tower cleaning device 100 also includes at least one strut 140 connected to the annular body 110. The strut 140 is located on the outside of the annular body 110 and extends along the axial direction of the annular body 110. Its purpose is to increase the strength of the annular body 110 and reduce its wrinkling and deformation along the axial direction of the tower 10.
[0046] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
