[0045] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should not be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are limited to the embodiments described herein. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0046] The tower provided by the present disclosure includes at least two tower segments 50 arranged along its circumferential direction, and the at least two tower segments 50 are assembled to form an annular tower, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In an optional embodiment, the present disclosure uses a cylindrical tower as an example for description, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0047] In order to facilitate the assembly of the segmented tower, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a segmented tower assembly device, which is used to connect and flip the tower segments 50, thereby driving the tower segments 50 to rotate to a suitable angle and enabling the assembly of at least two tower segments 50.

[0048] As an example, the segmented tower assembly device is arranged near the axial end of the tower segment 50. In order to prevent the tower segment 50 from being pulled and deformed during the flipping process, the above-mentioned segmented tower assembly devices are respectively arranged at both axial ends of the tower segment 50. When the tower segment 50 needs to be supported and flipped, the two segmented tower assembly devices can be used in coordination with each other to make the two ends of the tower segment 50 flip in the same direction and at the same angle at the same time, thereby avoiding relative twisting of the two ends of the tower segment 50.

[0049] Specifically, two segmented tower assembly devices can be provided, and the two segmented tower assembly devices are spaced apart along the axial direction of the tower, so that each segmented tower assembly device is provided near the end of the tower segment 50. For the convenience of description, the present disclosure takes one of the segmented tower assembly devices as an example for explanation.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The segmented tower assembly device includes a frame 10 and a slewing support 20. The slewing support 20 includes a tower segment connection part 21 and a movable support assembly 22. The tower segment connection part 21 is rotatably connected to the movable support assembly 22 to drive the tower segment 50 to rotate. The movable support assembly 22 is movably connected to the frame 10 and can drive the tower segment connection part 21 to move, thereby driving the tower segment 50 to move.

[0051] The present invention discloses that the tower segment connection part 21 is rotatably connected to the mobile support assembly 22, and the mobile support assembly 22 is movably connected to the frame 10, so that the tower segment connection part 21 can rotate relative to the frame 10 and can move in space relative to the frame 10, that is, the tower segment connection part 21 can drive the tower segment 50 to move and / or flip relative to the frame 10, which facilitates the on-site assembly of the tower segment 50 and reduces the difficulty of on-site assembly of the tower.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the mobile support assembly 22 is movably connected to the frame 10, and the tower segment connection part 21 can be rotatably connected to the mobile support assembly 22 around the pivot shaft 25, so that the tower segment connection part 21 can move relative to the frame 10 along with the mobile support assembly 22. When the tower segment connection part 21 is connected to the tower segment 50, the tower segment 50 can be driven to flip or move in the air through the movement of the tower segment connection part 21 relative to the frame 10.

[0053] According to an alternative embodiment, the tower segment connection portion 21 can be connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Since the sidewalls of the tower segment 50 are relatively thin, and the end flange has good structural strength, connecting with the end flange of the tower segment 50 can prevent the tower segment 50 from twisting, deforming, or even tearing.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to prevent the tower segment 50 from being deformed during transportation, lifting or flipping, the end of the tower segment 50 is usually connected to a support plate 24. For example, but not limited to, the support plate 24 can be connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50. The tower segment connection portion 21 provided in this embodiment can be connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50 through the support plate 24. The end flange of the tower segment 50 can be supported by the support plate 24, thereby preventing the tower segment 50 from being deformed. During the movement and flipping of the tower segment 50, the support plate 24 can support both ends of the tower segment 50. During the flipping of the tower segment 50, the two ends of the tower segment 50 can rotate synchronously, thereby preventing the tower segment 50 from being twisted and deformed.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 4 Specifically, the support plate 24 is provided with a first connection hole 241 for connecting to the end flange of the tower segment 50 and a second connection hole 242 for connecting to the tower segment connecting portion 21. As an example, the support plate 24 can be an elongated plate structure, with the first connection holes 241 being provided at both ends of the support plate 24 in the longitudinal direction, and the second connection hole 242 being provided in the middle of the support plate 24 in the longitudinal direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The ends of the support plate 24 can be connected to the end surfaces of the tower segment 50 respectively through the first connection holes 241 and fasteners, and the middle portion of the support plate 24 can be connected to the tower segment connecting portion 21 through the second connection hole 242 and fasteners.

[0056] The first connection hole 241 can be a circular hole, and multiple first connection holes 241 can be provided at both ends of the support plate 24 to accommodate tower segments 50 having different diameters, thereby improving the versatility of the support plate 24. Alternatively, the first connection hole 241 can be a waist-shaped hole (not shown) to accommodate tower segments 50 having different diameters.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 3, shows a usage status diagram of the tower segment connection part 21 and the support plate 24. Specifically, the tower segment connection part 21 is provided with a support unit connection hole 211 corresponding to the second connection hole 242. The support plate 24 can be connected to the tower segment connection part 21 by fasteners passing through the support unit connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 242 at the same time. Since the tower segment 50 is connected to the support plate 24, the tower segment 50 is connected to the tower segment connection part 21.

[0058] Furthermore, the mobile support assembly 22 is used to support the tower segment connection portion 21. The bottom end of the mobile support assembly 22 is movably connected to the frame 10, and the tower segment connection portion 21 is rotatably connected to the mobile support assembly 22. Specifically, the mobile support assembly 22 includes a first support unit 221 and a second support unit 222. The bottom end of the second support unit 222 is movably connected to the frame 10, and the first support unit 221 is connected between the top end of the second support unit 222 and the tower segment connection portion 21. The tower segment connection portion 21 is rotatably connected to the first support unit 221 and can move relative to the frame 10 along with the second support unit 222.

[0059] Specifically, the first support unit 221 includes a support portion 2211, and the tower segment connection portion 21 is rotatably connected to the support portion 2211. Figure 1 The first support unit 221 is generally formed as an L-shaped plate, including a base 2212 and a support portion 2211, wherein the base 2212 generally extends in a horizontal plane, and the support portion 2211 extends vertically upward from the base. Figure 2 The support portion 2211 provided in the present disclosure is mainly used to support the tower segment connection portion 21. For example, but not limited to, the tower segment connection portion 21 is rotatably connected to the support portion 2211 via a pivot shaft 25. Figure 1 The second support unit 222 is movably provided on the frame 10 along the second horizontal direction Y relative to the frame 10, and the first support unit 221 is movably provided on the second support unit 222 along the first horizontal direction X, so that the first support unit 221 can move relative to the frame 10 in the entire horizontal plane, wherein the first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second support unit 222 is generally a horizontal support plate, and the base 2212 is movably disposed on the second support unit 222 along the first horizontal direction X. This allows the first support unit 221 to be movably disposed on the second support unit 222 along the first horizontal direction X. When the tower segment 50 is connected to the tower segment connecting portion 21, the tower segment 50 can move along with the first support unit 221 within the entire horizontal plane relative to the frame 10. In practice, the second support unit 222 is used to support the base 2212, allowing the base 2212 to be stably connected to the second support unit 222, that is, stably connected to the frame 10.

[0061] In order to drive the first support unit 221 to move relative to the second support unit 222, the mobile support assembly 22 further includes a first horizontal movement drive unit 223, which is connected between the first support unit 221 and the second support unit 222 and is capable of driving the first support unit 221 to move relative to the second support unit 222 along the first horizontal direction X. In an optional embodiment, the first horizontal movement drive unit 223 includes a screw assembly, wherein a screw nut is fixed to the first support unit 221, a screw is rotatably connected to the second support unit 222, and the screw nut is sleeved on the outside of the screw. The screw extends along the first horizontal direction X. When the screw rotates about its own axis, the screw nut will drive the first support unit 221 to move along the first horizontal direction X relative to the second support unit 222.

[0062] In order to facilitate the rotation of the screw rod, in this embodiment, a screw rod crank can also be provided at the end of the screw rod, for example but not limited to, the screw rod crank is provided on the outside of the second support unit 222 for easy operation.

[0063] This embodiment is described by taking the example that the first horizontal movement driving unit 223 includes a screw rod assembly, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first horizontal movement driving unit 223 may also be a telescopic cylinder.

[0064] In order to further improve the movable range of the second support unit 222, in this embodiment, the second support unit 222 is vertically movably connected to the frame 10 relative to the frame 10. In an optional embodiment, the mobile support assembly 22 also includes a lifting drive, which is telescopically connected between the frame 10 and the mobile support assembly 22 to drive the mobile support assembly 22 to move up and down relative to the frame 10.

[0065] Specifically, the lifting drive can be provided below the second support unit 222 to drive the second support unit 222 to move vertically relative to the frame 10. For example, but not limited to, the second support unit 222 can be fixed to the top of the lifting drive, and the lifting drive drives the mobile support assembly 22 to move up and down relative to the frame 10, thereby driving the first support unit 221 to move up and down, thereby facilitating the vertical movement of the tower segment 50 connected to the first support unit 221. As an example, the lifting drive can be a telescopic cylinder or a screw assembly, but is not limited thereto.

[0066] Furthermore, the mobile support assembly 22 further includes a second horizontal mobile drive unit 224, which is disposed on the frame 10, for example, but not limited to, on the top of the frame 10. Specifically, the second horizontal mobile drive unit 224 includes a telescopic cylinder extending in the second horizontal direction Y, one end of the telescopic cylinder being connected to the frame 10, and the other end being connected to the bottom end of the lifting drive, so that the lifting drive is driven to move relative to the frame 10 along the second horizontal direction Y through the extension and contraction of the telescopic cylinder, thereby driving the tower segment 50 to move along the second horizontal direction Y.

[0067] The mobile support assembly 22 includes a second horizontal motion drive unit 224, a lift drive, and a first horizontal motion drive unit 223. The second horizontal motion drive unit 224 is connected between the frame 10 and the lift drive to drive the lift drive to move relative to the frame 10 in a second horizontal direction Y. In an alternative embodiment, the second horizontal motion drive unit 224 is a telescopic cylinder connected between the top end of the frame 10 and the bottom end of the lift drive. As an example, the bottom end of the lift drive is connected to one of the cylinder body and the lever of the second horizontal motion drive unit 224, the other of which is connected to the frame 10.

[0068] The lifting drive extends generally vertically, and the bottom end of the lifting drive can be connected to one of the cylinder and the lever of the second horizontal movement drive unit 224, so that the lifting drive can move relative to the frame 10 in the second horizontal direction Y. The second support unit 222 is connected to the top end of the lifting drive, and is driven by the lifting drive to move the second support unit 222 up and down relative to the frame 10.

[0069] The first support unit 221 can be disposed above the second support unit 222, and a first horizontal movement drive unit 223 is disposed between the first support unit 221 and the second support unit 222 to drive the first support unit 221 to move relative to the second support unit 222 along the first horizontal direction X. In this way, the first support unit 221 in the mobile support assembly 22 provided by the present disclosure can move relative to the frame 10 along at least one of the second horizontal direction Y, the longitudinal direction, and the first horizontal direction X, so that the tower segment connection portion 21 connected to the first support unit 221 can move, thereby driving the tower segment 50 to move to a predetermined position.

[0070] To improve the reliability of the movement of the mobile support assembly 22, a guide rail is further provided on the top of the frame 10. The bottom end of the lifting drive is provided with a guide groove that matches the guide rail and is movably mounted on the guide rail, so that the mobile support assembly 22 can move along the guide rail on the frame 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. In an alternative embodiment, a guide rail can be provided on the top of the second support unit 222, and a guide groove that matches the guide rail can be provided on the first support unit 221. The first support unit 221 can move relative to the second support unit 222 under the guidance of the guide rail.

[0071] In order to improve the connection reliability of the tower segment 50, the tower segment connection part 21 includes a fitting surface that can be connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50, and the support part 2211 extends parallel to the fitting surface and is spaced apart from the tower segment connection part 21 along the first horizontal direction X. In this way, the support part 2211 is spaced apart from the tower segment connection part 21, and the tower segment connection part 21 can rotate relative to the support part 2211, avoiding motion interference between the tower segment connection part 21 and the support part 2211, making it convenient for the tower segment connection part 21 to drive the tower segment 50 to rotate relative to the support part 2211, thereby driving the tower segment 50 to flip to a suitable angle.

[0072] In order to drive the tower segment connection part 21 to rotate, the slewing support 20 further includes a rotation drive assembly 23, which is connected between the tower segment connection part 21 and the mobile support assembly 22 to drive the tower segment connection part 21 to rotate relative to the mobile support assembly 22.

[0073] return Figure 1 The support plate 24 connected to the end of the tower segment 50 can be connected to the tower segment connecting part 21 by fasteners, and then the tower segment connecting part 21 is driven to rotate around the pivot axis 25 by the rotation drive assembly 23, thereby driving the support plate 24 and the tower segment 50 connected to the support plate 24 to flip relative to the frame 10.

[0074] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3The rotation drive assembly 23 includes a driving wheel 232 and a driven wheel 233. The driving wheel 232 is rotatably connected to the support part 2211, and the driven wheel 233 is rotatably connected to the support part 2211. The driven wheel 233 is fixedly connected to the tower segment connection part 21. The driving wheel 232 can drive the driven wheel 233 to rotate, and then drive the tower segment connection part 21 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 232 can drive the tower segment connection part 21 to rotate, so as to flip the tower segment 50 connected to the tower segment connection part 21.

[0075] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 are both gears, and the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 are meshed for transmission. The meshing transmission of the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 improves the rotation accuracy of the driven wheel 233. Alternatively, the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 may be pulleys, and the rotation drive assembly 23 also includes a conveyor belt disposed between the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233. During the rotation of the driving wheel 232, the conveyor belt can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 233 to rotate. In an alternative embodiment, the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 may also be sprockets, and the rotation drive assembly 23 also includes a chain disposed between the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233. During the rotation of the driving wheel 232, the chain can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 233 to rotate.

[0076] In this embodiment, the rotation driving assembly 23 is disposed between the supporting portion 2211 and the tower segment connecting portion 21 in the first horizontal direction X, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0077] In this embodiment, the driven wheel 233 is rotatably connected to the support portion 2211 via a pivot shaft 25, and the tower segment connection portion 21 is fixedly connected to the driven wheel 233 so as to rotate along with the driven wheel 233. Furthermore, the rotation drive assembly 23 also includes a drive motor 231, and the driving wheel 232 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 231, with the axis of the output shaft being arranged parallel to the axis of the pivot shaft 25.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driven wheel 233 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the pivot shaft 25. In an optional embodiment, a rolling body is further provided between the driven wheel 233 and the pivot shaft 25, so that the driven wheel 233, the pivot shaft 25 and the rolling body form a bearing structure, but this is not limited to this.

[0079] After the tower segment 50 is flipped to a predetermined angle, in order to prevent the tower segment 50 from accidentally shaking or deflecting, the segmented tower assembly device also includes a locking assembly 30 for locking the tower segment 50 at a predetermined angle. The locking assembly 30 can be connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 The locking assembly 30 includes a first locking portion 31 and a second locking portion 32. The first locking portion 31 is rotatably connected to the frame 10, and the second locking portion 32 is fixed to the frame 10 and is spaced apart from the first locking portion 31 along the second horizontal direction Y.

[0081] This embodiment is described using the example of a first locking portion 31 including a locking rod. One end of the locking rod is rotatably connected to the frame 10, and the other end is provided with a rod connection hole. When a fastener simultaneously passes through the rod connection hole and the flange hole of the end flange of the tower segment 50, the first locking portion 31 can be connected to the tower segment 50. The second locking portion 32 is provided with a connection hole. By simultaneously passing a fastener through the connection hole and another flange hole of the end flange of the tower segment 50, the tower segment 50 can be connected to the second locking portion 32. By connecting the end flanges of the tower segment 50 to the first locking portion 31 and the second locking portion 32, respectively, the present disclosure can lock the tower segment 50 in the predetermined position, thereby improving the reliability of the segmented tower assembly device.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, the first locking portion 31 may be a telescopic rod with adjustable length, so that the length of the first locking portion 31 can be adjusted according to the angle and position of the tower segment to achieve connection with the tower segment 50.

[0083] In this embodiment, in order to avoid local uneven force on the tower segment 50, the locking assembly 30 can be directly connected to the support plate 24, thereby eliminating the need for the locking assembly 30 to be directly connected to the end flange of the tower segment 50, thereby reducing the risk of local deformation of the tower segment 50.

[0084] Since the tower segment 50 is heavy, in order to overcome the gravity of the tower segment 50 and prevent the tower segment 50 from deforming under the action of gravity, the segmented tower assembly device further includes a bottom support 40 for supporting the wall surface of the tower segment 50, which can be a wall surface set towards the ground, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom support 40 is spaced apart from the slewing support 20 along the first horizontal direction X. For example but not limited to, the bottom support 40 can be supported in the middle of the tower segment 50 in the longitudinal direction.

[0085] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 The bottom support 40 includes a lifting platform 41 and a support roller 42. The lifting platform 41 is movably connected to the frame 10, and the support roller 42 is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 41. As an example, the rotation axis of the support roller 42 is substantially parallel to the pivot shaft 25, but is not limited thereto.

[0086] In this embodiment, the lifting platform 41 is escalably connected to the frame 10. For example, but not limited to, the bottom support 40 further includes a lifting platform drive unit 43. The lifting platform drive unit 43 extends longitudinally, and the ends of the lifting platform drive unit 43 are respectively connected to the lifting platform 41 and the frame 10. As an example, the lifting platform drive unit 43 can be a telescopic cylinder, the ends of which are respectively connected to the lifting platform 41 and the frame 10. The telescopic cylinder can be extended or retracted to drive the lifting platform 41 to rise or fall relative to the frame 10, thereby supporting it below the tower segment 50.

[0087] In order to avoid scratching the tower segment 50 when the bottom support 40 and the tower segment 50 come into contact, in this embodiment, the bottom support 40 includes a support roller 42 arranged above the lifting platform 41, and the support roller 42 can be a cylindrical structure.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the tower segment 50 is locked at a predetermined angle by the locking assembly 30, the position of the tower segment 50 relative to the bottom support 40 can be adjusted by moving the support assembly 22 so that the tower segment 50 can be located above the support roller 42, and then the height of the support roller 42 is adjusted by the lifting platform drive unit 43 until the support roller 42 is in contact with the wall surface of the tower segment 50, thereby achieving support for the tower segment 50.

[0089] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the first tower segment is locked by the first locking portion 31 and the second locking portion 32 and set on the bottom support 40, the tower segment connecting portion 21 can be separated from the end flange of the tower segment 50, and the position of the movable support assembly 22 can be adjusted relative to the frame 10 to connect the tower segment connecting portion 21 to the second tower segment, and then the angle and position of the second tower segment are adjusted so that the second tower segment is aligned with the first tower segment and connected to each other. In the case 50 where the segmented tower includes three tower segments, the segmented tower assembly device can be used to first position the first tower segment on the left side of the frame 10, and then the segmented tower assembly device can be used to position the second tower segment on the right side of the frame 10, and the first tower segment and the second tower segment are connected to each other. For example, but not limited to, the first tower segment and the second tower segment are connected together through the connecting frame 26. Finally, the third tower segment can be directly lifted by a hoist to dock and connect with the first tower segment and the second tower segment, thereby completing the tower assembly operation.

[0090] Reference Figure 8Furthermore, the segmented tower assembly device includes at least two swivel supports 20, and the at least two swivel supports 20 are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction Y. Each swivel support 20 can be used to support and flip a single tower segment 50, so that the two swivel supports 20 assist in cooperating to move different tower segments 50 to predetermined positions and predetermined angles, thereby facilitating the assembly of the tower segments 50.
