By energizing the heating tapes to heat, the internal temperature of the structural adhesive layer is increased, the curing speed is accelerated, and the joint of the tower segments quickly reaches the design strength requirements, ensuring the construction quality and speed.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the connection interface structure for the tower segments of a wind power concrete tower barrel proposed by the present utility model includes concrete tower barrel slices with reserved heating tape layout grooves 5 at the ends, which are horizontally spliced and combined into an upper segment 1 of a concrete tower barrel, and the lower segment 2 of the concrete tower barrel is made in the same way, as Figure 2As shown, a heating cable 4 is laid on the horizontal joint surface 6 between concrete tower barrel segments. The splicing of the tower barrel segments is completed by on-site hoisting. After the barrel segment is hoisted to the predetermined position, an epoxy structural adhesive layer 3 for connection is applied, and the heating cable at the connection interface of the tower segment is electrified for heating. After the splicing of the barrel segment is completed and the strength of the tower segment connection layer reaches the standard, the power supply to the heating cable is cut off to stop heating, and prestress is applied to make the concrete tower barrel segments form a stressed whole. The connection structure with a heating cable and a reserved slot used in the present utility model has a reasonable design, reliable effect, is convenient for production and construction, can improve the construction quality and speed of the concrete wind turbine tower barrel in a low-temperature environment, and has good technical and economic advantages.

[0034] The present utility model also has the following optional features:

[0035] Optionally, as Figures 3 - 4 shown, multiple heating cables can be arranged on the connection interface of the tower segment according to the on-site environment and actual heating effect, and a groove for laying the heating cable is provided at the top of the tower barrel segment.

[0036] Optionally, the heating cable layout scheme at the connection interface of the tower segment can be arranged in an S shape or circumferentially along the wall surface, and a groove for laying the heating cable is provided at the top of the tower barrel segment.

[0037] Optionally, when the heating cable is arranged circumferentially, it can be arranged at equal intervals; it can also be arranged at unequal intervals, with the heating cables arranged more densely near the outer side of the tower barrel.

[0038] Optionally, a haunch structure is provided at the end of the tower barrel segment, and an additional groove for laying the heating cable is provided at the top.

[0039] Optionally, the tower barrel segments are in the form of equal diameter or variable diameter along the vertical axis direction of the tower body.

[0040] Optionally, the material of the internal resistance wire of the heating cable should be a material with a high resistivity and a low linear expansion coefficient.

[0041] Optionally, when the diameter of the tower barrel is small, it is made as a whole ring, and a groove for laying the heating cable is provided at the upper edge of the barrel segment.

[0042] Optionally, when the diameter of the tower barrel is greater than a preset diameter threshold, a two-piece or more piecewise method is adopted.

[0043] Furthermore, for the tower barrel segments with a segmented structure, an epoxy structural adhesive layer 3 and a heating cable layout groove 5 are provided along the vertical connection surface of each segment, and a heating cable 4 is arranged in the heating cable layout groove 5.

[0044] The following will illustrate the specific implementation application process of the connection structure at the tower segment of the wind power concrete tower barrel in the above-mentioned low-temperature environment:

[0045] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the structure at the joint of the tower barrel segments includes the upper concrete tower barrel segment 1 with a reserved heating tape layout groove 5 engraved at the end, and the lower concrete tower barrel segment 2 is made in the same way. A heating tape 4 is laid on the horizontal joint surface 6 between the concrete tower barrel segments. The splicing of the tower barrel segments is completed by on-site hoisting. An epoxy structural adhesive layer 3 for connection is applied and the heating tape at the joint interface of the tower segments is powered on for heating. After the strength of the joint interface of the tower segments reaches the standard, the power supply to the heating tape is cut off to stop heating, and prestress is applied to make the concrete tower barrel segments form a stressed whole.

[0046] The general parameters selected for the heating tape are as follows: width 14mm, thickness 3mm, rated voltage of 220V, nominal power of 25W / m (65°C), and it has the function of self-regulating temperature.

[0047] The dimensions of the heating tape layout groove 5 are generally as follows: groove depth 14mm, groove width 4mm. There are four grooves arranged at equal intervals circumferentially along the top wall surface of the cylinder segment, and an additional power connection interface position is reserved. The distance between the grooves is not less than 50mm, and the distance from the groove to the wall surface is not less than 20mm.

[0048] All precast segments are prepared and cured in the processing site according to the design requirements, with corresponding lengths, number of segments, diameters, reinforcement, and concrete material strengths.

[0049] The segments are transported to the area pre-selected at the fan location that meets the requirements for storage and installation.

[0050] After receiving the segments, a comprehensive inspection should be carried out. Especially for positions such as the engraved grooves, they should be smooth and flat, without honeycombing, unevenness, etc. The connection deviation of the groove positions is less than 20mm.

[0051] As Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the tower barrel segments are horizontally assembled according to the vertical joint surface to form tower segments and numbered. The tower segments are hoisted in sequence according to the numbers to complete the assembly of the tower segments. Before vertical splicing, the position of the tower segments should be adjusted according to the actual situation on site to make the joints uniform and the transition of the heating tape layout groove 5 smooth.

[0052] The heating tape 4 should be laid closely against the heating tape layout groove 5. After being hoisted to the predetermined position, the structural adhesive layer is applied to make the heating tape surface fully contact with the concrete surface and the epoxy structural layer without sliding.

[0053] The heating duration of the heating tape should be determined according to the on-site environment and the curing effect of the structural adhesive layer. The construction site should have corresponding temperature monitoring measures and control means.

[0054] According to the above process, the bottom segment, middle segment, sub-top segment, and top segment are hoisted and installed. The structural adhesive should be applied at the horizontal joint 6 position of each segment, and the stagger between adjacent rings should be ensured not to be greater than 10mm.

[0055] After all segments are hoisted and installed, the steel strands are tensioned to apply prestress, forming the overall wind turbine tower barrel.

[0056] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field according to the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims.
