[0002] The regular flaw detection test of the welds of wind turbine towers has always been a difficult problem that has plagued the technical supervision work of wind power companies. The reason is that the towers are relatively high, generally around 80 meters, with a small internal space and a straight-up and straight-down circular structure. The tower body has only 2 or 3 platforms along its entire length, and there are dozens of welds distributed on the tower body. This creates difficulties for flaw detection operations, and it is difficult for personnel to move around and set up flaw detection instruments. This has also led to the fact that many wind power companies can only conduct metal flaw detection tests by random sampling or greatly reduce the flaw detection area, so that the metal flaw detection work of wind farms has not been truly implemented, which has laid hidden dangers for the safe and stable operation of the company. Utility Model Content
