DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0028] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional words such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. used to indicate directions or positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, and a specific orientation structure and operation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The terms "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding structural contour.

[0029] In addition, the "height direction" can be seen Figure 1 In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first", "second", etc., are used to distinguish one element from another element and do not have order or importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same mark in different drawings represents the same element.

[0030] In the description of the present disclosure, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connected", and "installed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present disclosure provides a tower segment transportation protection device 1, which is used for a wind turbine tower, including a protection bag 10, a tightening member 20 and a support frame 30. The protection bag 10 is made of a flexible material and is used to be detachably mounted on the outer periphery of the tower segment. The tightening member 20 is connected to the protection bag 10 and is used to tighten the protection bag 10 to the outer periphery of the tower segment. Along the height direction of the tower segment, the support frame 30 is arranged around the outer periphery of the tower segment.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, during the transportation of the tower segments, the above-mentioned protection bag 10 can be firstly put on the outer periphery of the sleeve segment, and then the above-mentioned protection bag 10 can be tightened to the outer periphery of the tower segment through the tightening piece 20, so that the protection bag 10 can fit tightly on the outer surface of the tower segment, avoiding the problem of damage caused by direct collision between the tower segment and foreign objects during transportation, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the protection effect of the tower segment.

[0033] In addition, the above-mentioned tower segment transportation protection device 1 also includes a support frame 30, which can surround the outer circumference of the tower segment along the height direction of the tower segment, thereby further supporting, limiting and protecting the tower segment, so as to improve the stability of the tower segment and avoid deformation and damage caused by the tower segment shaking when it is bumpy or colliding with foreign objects during the transportation of the tower segment.

[0034] In the present disclosure, the present disclosure does not limit the specific material of the protective bag 10, and it can be made of any material that meets the requirements. For example, in an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the protective bag 10 can be made of one of rubber, polyphenylene ether plastic, and polystyrene. The above materials can not only play a protective and buffering role, but also have a good waterproof, sun-proof, and dust-proof effect.

[0035] In order to further enhance the protective effect of the protection bag 10 on the tower segments, foam, sponge, rubber and other materials may be filled between the protection bag 10 and the tower segments. Thus, even if foreign objects collide with the tower segments, the protection bag 10 and the internal filling materials can absorb the collision energy and avoid or reduce direct contact between the foreign objects and the tower segments.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 30 may include a top beam 31, a bottom beam 32 and two side beams 33, one end of the bottom beam 32 is connected to the lower end of one side beam 33, the other end of the bottom beam 32 is connected to the lower end of another side beam 33, one end of the top beam 31 is hinged to the upper end of one side beam 33, and the other end of the top beam 31 is detachably connected to the upper end of another side beam 33. During the transportation of the tower segment, the tower segment can be inserted into the space enclosed by the top beam 31, the bottom beam 32 and the two side beams 33, so that the bottom beam 32 and the top beam 31 can limit the position of the tower segment in the height direction, thereby preventing the tower segment from shaking in the height direction when the vehicle is bumpy. Similarly, the two side beams 33 enclosed on both sides of the tower segment can clamp and limit the tower segment from both sides of the tower segment to prevent the tower segment from shaking in the left and right directions. Furthermore, the top beam 31, bottom beam 32 and side beam 33 arranged on the outer periphery of the tower segment can also protect the tower segment.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the tower segment transportation protection device 1 provided in the present disclosure may further include a hinge shaft 80 , through which one end of the top beam 31 and the upper end of one side beam 33 may be hinged.

[0038] Since the tower tube segment is in the shape of a curved surface, in order to achieve better protection for the tower tube segment, such as Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the curvature of the two side beams 33 should be consistent with the curvature of the outer surface of the two sides of the tower segment, so that the two side beams 33 can be as close as possible to and fit on the outer surface of the tower segment.

[0039] In order to further enhance the protection effect on the tower segments, the tower segment transportation protection device 1 may include a plurality of support frames 30. The plurality of support frames 30 may be spaced apart on the outer periphery of the tower segments along the extension direction of the tower segments, thereby jointly achieving the support, limitation and protection effects on the tower segments.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, there are two support frames 30, and the two support frames 30 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the tower segment.

[0041] The support frame 30 can be made of high-strength materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy.

[0042] Further, in order to facilitate the installation of the support frame 30 on the tower tube segment, the support frame 30 should be detachable. Specifically, in an exemplary embodiment provided in the present disclosure, Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the tower segment transportation protection device 1 may also include a fastening bolt 40, a first threaded hole is formed at the upper end of the side beam 33 detachably connected to the top beam 31, a second threaded hole is formed on the top beam 31 that penetrates along its own thickness direction, the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are arranged correspondingly, and the fastening bolt 40 is threadedly connected in the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole. In this way, before the tower segment is hoisted on the transport vehicle, the fastening bolt 40 can be removed from the top beam 31 and the side beam 33, and then rotated around the upper end of another side beam 33 hinged to the top beam 31, so as to expose the opening between the two side beams 33, and then the tower segment is placed between the two side beams 33 from the opening, and finally, the top beam 31 is rotated again, and the locking bolt is re-locked at the top of the top beam 31 and the side beam 33 to achieve the fixation of the tower segment.

[0043] Alternatively, in other embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the top beam 31 may also be connected to the side beam 33 by other detachable methods such as plug-in and snap-on, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0044] The support frame 30 can also be connected to the carriage or bottom plate of the transport device for transporting the tower segments in a detachable manner. In this way, the stability of the connection between the support frame 30 and the transport device can be improved, and the positioning, fixing and protection of the tower segments can be further improved.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the tower segment transportation and protection device 1 further includes a hook 50, which is connected to the upper end surface of the support frame 30. In this way, the hoisting device can realize the hoisting operation of the tower segment connected to the support frame 30 through the hook 50. On the one hand, during the hoisting of the tower segment, the hoisting equipment does not need to directly contact the tower segment, so it can avoid the damage to the tower segment caused by the hoisting equipment during the hoisting of the tower segment. On the other hand, since the hook 50 is connected to the support frame 30, it is not necessary to set or install the hook 50 on the tower segment, so the hoisting steps are simplified, which is more convenient for the hoisting operation of the tower segment.

[0046] In the embodiment where the support frame 30 includes a top beam 31 , a bottom beam 32 and two side beams 33 , the hook 50 can be disposed on the top beam 31 , so that it is easier to connect the hook 50 when the hoisting equipment is hoisting the tower segment.

[0047] In addition, in order to avoid the situation where the tower segment tilts due to uneven distribution of the center of gravity during the lifting of the tower segment, for the support frame 30 as one embodiment, the above-mentioned support frame 30 can be set at the center of the tower segment, that is, the hook 50 can be set at the top of the center line of the tower segment, so that the weight on both sides of the hook 50 remains consistent during the lifting process; for the support frame 30 in multiple embodiments, multiple support frames 30 can be symmetrically arranged about the center line of the tower segment, and each support frame 30 can be provided with the above-mentioned hook 50, so that the lifting equipment can be connected to each hook 50 respectively by a rope to maintain the balance of the tower segment during the lifting process.

[0048] In order to facilitate the installation of the protective bag 10 on the outer periphery of the tower tube segment, in the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the protective bag 10 may include a body 11 and a top cover 12. The body 11 has a cavity 13 for accommodating a tower segment inside, and the cavity 13 has an upward opening 14. The top cover 12 is connected to the body 11 and is used to unlockably cover the opening 14. In this way, when the protective bag 10 needs to be sleeved on the outer periphery of the tower segment, the top cover 12 of the protective bag 10 can be opened first, thereby exposing the cavity 13 for accommodating the tower segment and the opening 14 connected to the cavity 13. At this time, the tower segment can be hoisted and lowered to place the tower segment into the cavity 13 inside the body 11. Finally, the top cover 12 is sealed on the opening 14 of the body 11 to achieve sealing of the tower segment.

[0049] The present disclosure does not limit the connection relationship between the top cover 12 and the body 11. For example, in an exemplary embodiment provided in the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the tower segment transportation protection device 1 may further include a Velcro 60, which includes a hook surface layer 61 and a suede layer 62, one of which is disposed on the inner surface of the top cover 12, and the other of which is disposed on the outer surface of the body 11. In this way, after the tower segment is assembled into the cavity 13 of the body 11, the top cover 12 may be covered on the opening 14 of the body 11, at which time, the hook surface layer 61 disposed on one of the inner surface of the top cover 12 or the outer surface of the body 11 may be hooked on the suede layer 62 disposed on the other of the inner surface of the top cover 12 or the outer surface of the body 11, thereby closing the opening 14 of the body 11, and preventing rainwater, dust, etc. from falling from the opening 14 onto the tower segment during the transportation of the tower segment, thereby damaging the tower segment.

[0050] Alternatively, in another exemplary embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the above-mentioned tower segment transportation protection device 1 may further include a zipper, the protection bag 10 has an opening, the zipper may be arranged at the edge of the opening, and is used to open or close the opening, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the protection bag 10, so as to facilitate the loading, unloading and covering of the tower segments.

[0051] In other embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the protective bag 10 may also be composed of a plurality of shielding members, each of which may be provided one by one on each side of the tower segment, and may be correspondingly attached (such as by adhesive bonding) to different sides of the tower segment to jointly cover the tower segment.

[0052] In addition, the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the fastening member 20, as long as the inner surface of the protective bag 10 can be kept in contact with the outer surface of the tower segment, for example, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the fastener 20 includes a first section 21, a second section 22 and a locking member 23, and the locking member 23 includes a clamping block and a clamping slot body; the first end of the first section 21 is connected to the outer surface of the protection bag 10, the second end of the first section 21 is connected to a clamping block (not shown), the first end of the second section 22 is connected to the outer surface of the protection bag 10, the second end of the second section 22 is connected to a clamping slot body (not shown), and the clamping block is clamped in the clamping slot. In this way, after the tower tube segment is hoisted in the protection bag 10, the first section 21 and the second section 22 of the fastener 20 can be respectively wrapped around the outer surface of the protection bag 10, and then the first section 21 and the second section 22 are connected by the cooperation of the clamping block and the clamping slot, so that the protection bag 10 is pressed against the outer surface of the tower tube segment, thereby achieving close contact between the protection bag 10 and the tower tube segment.

[0053] In other embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the first section 21 and the second section 22 can also be connected by a tightening member 20, threadedly connected, or other detachable manners to achieve tightening of the protective bag 10.

[0054] In order to enhance the tightening effect of the tightening member 20 on the protective bag 10, the first section 21 and the second section 22 may be formed as a belt-like rope, that is, the tightening member 20 has a certain width, so that when the first section 21 and the second section 22 are tightened on the outer surface of the protective bag 10, they can have a larger contact area with the outer surface of the protective bag 10, thereby increasing the contact area between the inner surface of the protective bag 10 and the tower segment.

[0055] In order to further improve the protection effect of the tower segment, optionally, Figure 1As shown, the tower segment transportation protection device 1 may further include a gasket 70, which is connected to the bottom wall of the protection bag 10. In this way, the gasket 70 arranged at the bottom of the protection bag 10 can further protect the tower segment installed inside the protection bag 10, and the gasket 70 can protect, buffer and support the tower segment, and can absorb the impact and vibration between the tower segment and the transportation equipment, thereby improving the stability during transportation.

[0056] Optionally, in an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the gasket 70 may be made of rubber. Alternatively, the gasket 70 may also be made of other materials such as sponge, foam, silicone, etc. In short, as long as it can play a role in buffering, absorbing energy and protecting the tower tube segment, the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0057] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0058] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0059] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
