[0023] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the utility model and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the utility model based on the above application content.

[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the utility model provides a yaw drive lifting device for lifting a yaw drive body 3 on a mounting platform 1, comprising a jack 6, a supporting base frame 7 is provided at the bottom of the jack 6, the supporting base frame 7 is provided on the mounting platform 1, a supporting top frame 9 is provided at the top of the jack 6, a lifting frame 10 is provided on the supporting top frame 9, a connecting frame 12 is provided at the top of the lifting frame 10, a connecting hole 13 is provided on the connecting frame 12, a connecting bolt 14 is provided on the yaw drive body 3, the connecting bolt 14 passes through the connecting hole 13 and is screwed to the yaw drive body 3.

[0026] When the device is in use, the supporting frame 7 is placed on the installation platform 1, and a group of the device can be arranged on both sides of the yaw drive body 3 to make the lifting more stable. After the supporting frame 7 is placed, the connecting bolts 14 of the yaw drive body 3 can be removed, and the screw of the jack 6 is turned to make the connecting frame 12 drop until it contacts the yaw drive body 3, and the connecting bolts 14 are passed through the connecting hole 13 and screwed to the yaw drive body 3 again, so that the installation of the device can be completed quickly. After the installation is completed, the supporting frame 9 on the jack 6 can be driven to rise by turning the screw of the jack 6, so that the yaw drive body 3 can be lifted. Among them, the jack 6 is a conventional screw-driven conventional structure, which will not be repeated here. The yaw drive body 3 is lifted by the device, and there is no need to install cumbersome cantilever cranes, hand winches, slings, etc., which greatly shortens the adjustment operation time of the yaw drive body 3, and the operation time is expected to be shortened from 10 hours to 2 hours.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the device further includes a positioning component, which is connected to the yaw drive main body 3 and the mounting platform 1. The positioning component includes a guiding bolt 5. A first flange 2 is provided on the mounting platform 1, and a second flange 4 is provided on the yaw drive main body 3.

[0029] As Figure 1 、 3 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a limit buckle 8 is provided on one side of the support chassis 7, and the limit buckle 8 is clamped inside the mounting platform 1. The position of the support chassis 7 can be appropriately adjusted so that the limit buckle 8 buckles the inner wall of the mounting platform 1, preventing the device from slipping when stressed, and further improving the safety and stability when lifting the yaw drive main body 3.

[0030] As Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the lifting frame 10 is detachably connected to the support top frame 9. An ear seat 11 is provided at the bottom of the lifting frame 10, and the ear seat 11 is arranged on the support top frame 9 and connected to it by bolts. By setting bolts, the ear seat 11 can be separated from the support top frame 9, so as to conveniently replace the lifting frame 10, the connecting frame 12 and the guiding bolt 5 of different models to adapt to the yaw drive main bodies 3 of different sizes and structures for use, improving the application range of this device.

[0031] The specific usage mode and beneficial effects of the present utility model:

[0032] When this device is in use, select two groups of this lifting device and place them on both sides of the yaw drive main body. Place this device on the mounting platform 1 through the support chassis 7, and fixedly connect the connecting frame 12 to the yaw drive main body 3 through the connecting bolt 14. Finally, the support top frame 9 can be lifted by controlling the jack 6 to lift the yaw drive main body 3.
