[0002] A wind turbine is an electric device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives the rotor to rotate and finally outputs alternating current. The working principle of a wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind rotor rotates under the action of wind force, which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the wind rotor shaft. The generator rotates and generates electricity under the drive of the wind rotor shaft. During daily maintenance of wind turbines, workers need to enter the wind turbine tower for daily maintenance. However, since the wind turbine tower is about 50 meters high, in order to avoid safety problems when workers climb inside the tower, multiple maintenance platforms are set up inside the tower. These maintenance platforms are used to place equipment or for workers to rest temporarily, but there is still a certain height difference between adjacent maintenance platforms in the vertical direction.
