Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bolt tensioners, in particular to a bolt tensioner for installing a bottom section tower of a wind turbine. Background Art

[0002] The bolt tensioner uses the hydraulic pressure provided by a hydraulic booster pump (ultra-high pressure hydraulic pump) to determine the tensile force based on the tensile strength, yield factor, and elongation of the material. It utilizes the tensile force generated by the ultra-high pressure pump to stretch the bolt within its elastic deformation zone, slightly deforming the bolt diameter and thus facilitating the loosening of the nut.

[0003] However, the existing bolt tensioners for installing the bottom section of the wind turbine tower have the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The existing bolt tensioner for installing the bottom section of the wind turbine tower has a weak adaptability. When in use, the bolt tensioner of the existing technology cannot adapt to different bolts for tensioning, which has certain limitations;

[0005] (2) The existing bolt tensioner for installing the bottom section of the wind turbine tower has a weak limit sealing function. When in use, the existing technology may cause excessive stretching due to the lack of a limit structure inside the continuous release device of the hydraulic oil when stretching the bolt. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a bolt tensioner for installing the bottom section tower of a wind turbine, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] Optionally, a connecting port is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame, and the connecting port fits in the slot. Through the installation of the connecting port, the connecting port is made of high-strength material and can withstand the pressure of hydraulic oil transmission.

[0009] Optionally, an oil inlet is opened on one side of the connecting port, and a transmission pipe is installed on the inner wall of the oil inlet, and the transmission pipe is used to transmit hydraulic oil.

[0010] Optionally, a fixed groove is opened on one side of the transmission pipe, and a high-pressure hydraulic pump is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed groove. The high-pressure hydraulic pump is connected to an external power supply and can transmit hydraulic oil from the transmission pipe to the slide groove.

[0011] Optionally, a buffer pad is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing ring, and the bottom end of the buffer pad fits with the limiting ring. The installation of the buffer pad can avoid wear caused by the contact between the fixing ring and the limiting ring.

[0012] Optionally, a slot is provided on the surface of the transmission pipe, and a pressure gauge is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot. The pressure gauge is installed to check the internal pressure of the hydraulic oil for timely regulation.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. The bolt tensioner for installing the bottom section of the wind turbine tower is arranged through the setting of a fixing frame, a slot, a fixing ring, a socket, a threaded ring and a threaded rod. When in use, by rotating the threaded rod, the threaded rod rotates on the surface of the fixing ring and pushes the threaded ring to move toward the middle of the fixing ring, and clamps bolts of different sizes. Then, by inserting the insertion rod into the socket and rotating it, the threaded ring can be connected and fixed with the bolt and the fixing ring can be driven downward to move downward in the slot opened in the fixing frame, thereby achieving the effect of adapting to bolts of different sizes for clamping.

[0015] 2. The bolt tensioner for installing the bottom section of the wind turbine tower is equipped with a limit ring, a sealing ring, a limit block and a slide.
