[0002] The tower base of a wind turbine generator set carries the entire supporting tower and the generator set, so it is required to have a high bearing capacity during design. In addition, because the tower will be subjected to high lateral shear force due to the lateral wind during wind power generation, for the stability of the entire generator set, the tower base is required to have not only longitudinal bearing capacity for the tower tube, but also a certain lateral shock absorbing capacity. Moreover, when the tower is used for a long time, this requires the tower base to have a certain self-adjustment ability. As a result, the volume of the overall base will be larger, which is inconvenient to install and transport. Utility Model Content

After the tower is inserted, the surface of the wedge-shaped section of the tower insertion end is against the arc surface of the bearing seat; the power output end of the fine-tuning cylinder is fixedly connected with the adjusting block, and a positioning block is provided at the other end, and a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning block is opened on the positioning ring. During assembly, the positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0006] After installation and assembly, the tower needs to be inserted into the plug hole. In order to ensure accurate and good matching of the tower and the bearing seat, an auxiliary block that cooperates with the tower is also provided on the top of the bearing seat. The auxiliary block and the bearing seat are integrally formed. When the tower is assembled, the inner wall of the auxiliary block is in contact with the wall of the tower.

[0007] During use, considering the firmness problem caused by the limited thickness of the base cover, the base cover needs to be supported to a certain extent. A support groove is also opened on the tower base platform between two adjacent fine-tuning units, and a support block is inserted into the support groove. When installed, the inner surface of the base cover is against the top of the support block.

The stacked tower design can effectively absorb the energy during swinging and vibration and improve the shock absorption ability.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] In this case, the fine-tuning components are improved through modularization, and are divided into a bearing seat, an adjustment block and a fine-tuning cylinder. This can effectively solve the problem of inconvenience in installation and transportation caused by the large size of the base.

[0018] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0019] As shown in the figure, a tower base of a wind turbine generator set includes a tower base platform 1 and a base cover 2. A positioning ring 11 that cooperates with the base cover 2 is fixedly provided on the tower base platform 1 to form a truncated cone-shaped adjustment area 10 on the tower base platform 1. The adjustment area 10 is provided with a fine-tuning component 101 that cooperates with the tower 4. The fine-tuning component 101 includes three fine-tuning units 12. The three fine-tuning units 12 are equally divided along the circumference of the adjustment area 10. A plug-in hole 21 that cooperates with the tower 4 is opened on the base cover 2. During installation, the tower 4 is inserted from the plug-in hole 21 to cooperate with the fine-tuning component 101. By modularizing the adjustment mechanism, the entire self-adjusting structure fine-tuning component 101 is divided into three fine-tuning units 12, which is convenient for the prefabrication of various parts in the early stage, thus greatly reducing the volume of the prefabricated parts of each part, so as to facilitate the later installation and transportation; specifically, a wedge-shaped section is provided at the insertion end of the tower 4, and the fine-tuning unit 12 includes a bearing seat 121, an adjustment block 122 and a fine-tuning cylinder 123 arranged radially along the tower base platform 1, a fine-tuning groove 1211 matched with the adjustment block 122 is provided on one side of the bearing seat 121, and an arc surface matched with the wedge-shaped section of the insertion end of the tower 4 is provided on the other side, the fine-tuning groove 1211 and the adjustment block 122 are slidably connected, and after the tower 4 is inserted, the surface of the wedge-shaped section of the insertion end of the tower 4 is against the arc surface of the bearing seat 121; further, the power output end of the fine-tuning cylinder 123 is fixedly connected with the adjustment block 122, and a positioning block 1221 is provided at the other end, and a positioning ring 11 is provided with a positioning block 1221 The positioning groove 111 is matched. During assembly, the positioning block 1221 is inserted into the positioning groove 111. In this way, during assembly, the cylinder is first assembled using the positioning groove 111, and then the adjustment block 122 and the bearing seat 121 are installed in the adjustment area 10 in sequence along the radial direction of the tower base platform 1. At this point, the installation of one fine-tuning unit 12 is completed, and then three fine-tuning units 12 are installed in sequence along the circumference of the adjustment area 10 in the above order. Then, the base cover 2 and the tower base platform 1 are assembled and fixed, and finally further inserted from the plug hole 21. At the same time, an external controller (not shown) is used to control the fine-tuning cylinder 123 so that the wedge-shaped segment surface of the insertion end of the tower 4 is fully offset against the arc surface of the bearing seat 121, so as to complete the bearing of the tower 4. In this way, through the fine-tuning component 101, a certain self-fine-tuning ability can be played in the process of the tower 4 bearing the longitudinal bearing capacity and the lateral shear force, which is beneficial to the use of the entire wind power equipment and the stability of the entire equipment is also higher.

When installed, the inner surface of the base cover 2 abuts against the top of the support block 131; thus, the support block 131 can be used to

[0022] Preferably, in order to enhance the shock-absorbing capacity of the entire base, a shock-absorbing platform 3 is also provided on the top of the tower base, and a shock-absorbing hole 31 is opened on the shock-absorbing platform 3 to cooperate with the tower 4. After the tower 4 is inserted, the surface of the shock-absorbing hole 31 is in contact with the wall of the tower 4, and the bottom of the shock-absorbing platform 3 is against the top of the tower base. A shock-absorbing cavity 32 is opened in the shock-absorbing platform 3, and a liquid filling port 33 is provided on the top of the shock-absorbing platform 3 so that water can be added to the shock-absorbing cavity 32 from the liquid filling port 33 after assembly; in this way, when the tower is swung due to the lateral shear force, the shock-absorbing platform 3 can be used to absorb part of the energy during the swing, thereby improving the shock-absorbing effect of the base.
