Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind tower flanges, specifically a two-in-one wind tower flange with a locking structure. Background Art

[0002] Wind tower flange forgings are generally forged from S355NL steel (EN10025-3), which is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel with low carbon content. Manganese is the main strengthening element, and a small amount of grain-refining elements are added. The chemical composition and technical requirements of the steel for the offshore wind tower flange produced this time. In order to ensure the low-temperature toughness of the flange forgings, the phosphorus and sulfur content in the steel must be strictly controlled during steel smelting to effectively reduce the inclusion content in the steel.

[0003] The existing wind tower flange adopts an integrated structure, which is not easy to assemble by welding. The on-site welding process can easily cause thermal deformation of the wind tower flange, making it difficult to lock and install the wind tower flange as a whole. The on-site welding deformation causes installation deviation of the wind tower flange. Utility Model Content
