Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wind turbine generator installation, in particular to a wind turbine tower anti-sway device. Background Art

[0002] Wind turbine installation is the most risky construction content in wind farm construction. The installation of the tower generally requires continuous hoisting. The third and fourth sections of the tower and the nacelle should be installed on the same day. If the nacelle cannot be hoisted immediately, it is not allowed to stagnate for a long time in the hoisting stage of more than three sections; due to special reasons, it is impossible to avoid the hoisting stage (fourth section to nacelle) where vortex-induced vibration occurs frequently. If the hoisting cannot be completed within one day, the main crane is required not to loosen the hook, and the hook tension is about 50t. When using this measure, it should be ensured that the wind speed does not exceed the wind speed requirement of the crane itself. If the wind speed exceeds the wind speed requirement of the crane itself, it may cause damage to the crane.

[0003] To solve the above problems, there is a technical solution in the prior art of hanging spoilers on the tower, but the spoiler module cannot be used for a long time and is inconvenient to install and transport. In addition, welding the spoiler on the tower will also damage the structure of the tower itself. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to provide a wind turbine tower anti-sway device. By installing a damping device and installing a cover plate to seal the tower, the vortex-induced vibration of the tower can be reduced. At the same time, the main crane can be unhooked to prevent damage to the crane when the wind speed exceeds the crane's own wind speed requirement.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A wind turbine tower anti-sway device comprises a cover plate covering the top of the tower, a sealing structure is arranged between the cover plate and the tower, and a damping device is arranged at the bottom of the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing structure is a rubber layer covering the bottom surface of the cover plate.

[0008] Preferably, a manhole is provided on the cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of lifting ears.

[0010] Preferably, a protective railing is provided on the top of the cover plate.

[0011] Preferably, the damping device comprises a steel wire rope with one end fixed to the bottom of the cover plate, and a counterweight is fixed to the end of the steel wire rope away from the cover plate.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the steel wire rope is fixed to the middle of the bottom of the cover plate, and the counterweight is an iron ball.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. After the cover plate of the utility model covers the top of the tower, the damping device is located inside the tower, and the damping device inside the tower can reduce the vibration of the tower.

[0015] 2. The utility model seals the top of the tower by means of a cover plate, and ensures the sealing between the cover plate and the tower by means of a sealing structure, thereby forming a closed space inside the tower. By means of the air flow and incompressibility of the air itself, a damper effect is achieved inside the tower, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the tower.

[0016] 3. The utility model has a manhole on the cover plate to facilitate personnel to go up and down, and to facilitate removing and re-hanging the hook.

[0017] 4. The utility model can reduce the vortex-induced vibration of the tower by installing a damping device and installing a cover plate to seal the tower. At the same time, the main crane can be unhooked to prevent the crane from being damaged when the wind speed exceeds the crane's own wind speed requirement. It can be applied to the tower installation work of various wind turbine models and has a wide range of applications. It can reduce the risks during the tower installation process.
