[0018] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 , a wind turbine tower bottom flange welding auxiliary tooling, which comprises: a wind turbine tower 2 and a flange 1, wherein a plurality of clamping devices 3 are clamped between the wind turbine tower and the flange to make the flange and the wind turbine tower concentric;

[0019] The clamping device includes a U-shaped clamping plate 5 and an external screw sleeve 7. Two ribs 4 are fixed on the U-shaped clamping plate. The external screw sleeve is connected between the two ribs. The two ends of the external screw sleeve are respectively connected to the ribs through bearings. The two ends of the external thread are respectively provided with threaded inner holes 16. The threaded inner holes have internal threads. The internal threads of the two threaded inner holes are in opposite directions. Each threaded inner hole is threadedly connected to a screw rod 10. The two screw rods are also screws with opposite thread directions. The end of the screw rod is fixed on the external connecting plate. A supporting plate 12 is fixed on the external connecting plate. The end of the supporting plate is an arc with the same curvature as the arc of the outer wall of the wind turbine tower.

[0020] In the auxiliary tooling for welding the bottom flange of a wind turbine tower, two guide pillars 9 are fixed on both sides of the U-shaped clamping plate, and the guide pillars pass through the circular holes on the outer connecting plates on the corresponding sides.

[0021] In the auxiliary tooling for welding the bottom flange of a wind turbine tower, a plurality of threaded connection holes 15 are provided on the U-shaped clamping plate.

[0022] In the auxiliary tooling for welding the bottom flange of a wind turbine tower, a nut 11 is fixed on the outer threaded sleeve.

[0023] Working principle: When in use, lift the flange and adjust its position so that the flange contacts the bottom of the wind turbine tower and then stop. Buckle one of the clamping devices on the flange so that its threaded connection hole is aligned with the through hole 14 on the flange. Then, a fixing bolt 6 is threaded into each threaded connection hole until the end of the fixing bolt is inserted into the through hole 14 of the flange and stops. Use a wrench to twist the outer sleeve through the nut. The nut is welded to the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve rotates and is threadedly connected to the screw rod, so that the screw rods on both sides move in opposite directions at the same time, so that the abutment plates of the two outer connecting rods move in opposite directions at the same time, and stop when the abutment plates contact the wall of the wind turbine tower. At this time, a clamping device adjusts the position of the flange. After clamping all three clamping devices, the flange position can be fully adjusted, ensuring the stability of the position during flange welding.
