[0054] The protection segments L1 are arranged continuously along the height direction Z, and the plurality of protection segments L1 are spliced with each other along the height direction Z to form the protective cover 22, so as to facilitate the manufacturing and installation of the protective cover 22. When the protection segments L1 are connected to the tower 100, the end portions of the two adjacent protection segments L1 overlap each other, and the upper end of the lower protection segment L1 is embedded into the lower end of the upper protection segment L1, that is, the lower end of the upper protection segment L1 is wrapped in the upper end of the lower protection segment L1, so as to reduce the risk of rainwater entering the gap between the two adjacent protection segments L1, and to realize reliable waterproofing at the splicing position of the protection segments L1.
[0055] In some optional embodiments, at least part of the protection segments L1 have the same structure, and each protection segment L1 further comprises a protection body between the upper end and the lower end, and the lower end of the protection segment L1 is arranged outwardly relative to the protection body and forms a stepped structure capable of accommodating the upper end of the protection segment L1.
[0056] Specifically, when the structures of the protection segments L1 are the same, the protection segment L1 can include a protection segment upper end S1, a protection main body, and a protection segment lower end S2, the protection segment lower end S2 is arranged outwardly relative to the protection main body and forms a stepped structure capable of accommodating the protection segment upper end S1, so that when the plurality of protection segments L1 are spliced, the protection segment upper end S1 can be embedded into the protection segment lower end S2 of another protection segment L1 to realize the mutual splicing of the plurality of protection segments L1 with the same structure.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a partial enlarged view of the joint of the tower segment 1 provided by another embodiment of the present application.
[0060] In some optional embodiments, the sealing element 21 includes a plurality of sealing segments L2 arranged in sequence along the height direction Z of the tower 100, each sealing segment L2 includes a pair of sub-sealing portions 2111 arranged on the adjacent two tower segments 1, the end portions of the adjacent sub-sealing portions 2111 are connected to form a sealing portion 211, and in at least part of the sealing segment L2, the first surface of the sub-sealing portion 2111 is provided with a connecting portion 2112, and the sub-sealing portion 2111 is detachably connected to the tower segment 1 through the connecting portion 2112.
[0061] Similarly to the protection section L1, the seal 21 can also include a plurality of seal sections L2 arranged in sequence along the height direction Z, and for each seal section L2, part of the seal section L2 can be directly fixed to the tower segment 1 to simplify the assembly difficulty of the protection device 2 and improve the installation efficiency. For the area that cannot be directly fixed to the tower segment 1, for example, at the segmented position of the tower 100 along the height direction Z, the sub-seal part 2111 can also be detachably connected to the tower segment 1 through the connecting part 2112, that is, the seal section L2 is designed to be detachable, so that after the tower 100 is assembled, the seal section L2 is connected to the tower segment 1, so as to avoid the influence of the seal section L2 on the assembly of the tower 100 and reduce the assembly difficulty.
[0062] Optionally, the connecting part 2112 includes at least one of a magnetic sealing part and a vacuum adsorption part. Taking the example that the connecting part 2112 is a magnetic sealing part 211, the sub-seal part 2111 can be fixed to one side of the vertical joint of the tower segment 1 through magnetic attraction, and a sealant can also be arranged between the sub-seal part 2111 and the tower segment 1, so that the sub-seal part 2111 can be sealed and connected to the tower segment 1 through the connecting part 2112, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater entering the joint.

In the two adjacent sealing sections L2, the upper end of the lower sub-sealing portion 2111 is embedded into the gap of the lower end of the upper sub-sealing portion 2111.
[0067] Similarly to the protection section L1, by embedding the upper end of the lower sealing section L2 into the lower end of the upper sealing section L2 in the two adjacent sealing sections L2, i.e., by wrapping the lower end of the upper sealing section L2 around the upper end of the lower sealing section L2, the risk of rainwater entering the gap between the two adjacent sealing sections L2 can be reduced, and reliable waterproofing at the joint of the sealing sections L2 can be achieved.
[0068] In some optional embodiments, the sub-sealing portion 2111 further includes a sealing body arranged between the upper end and the lower end in the height direction Z.

[0069] Optionally, the structures of the first sealing sections L21 are the same, and the structures of the second sealing sections L22 are the same.
[0070] As an optional implementation, the first sealing section L21 can be arranged as a plate structure with the same width of the upper end, the sealing body, and the gap of the lower end, and the second sealing section L22 can be arranged as a stepped structure with the lower end outwardly expanded relative to the sealing body in a direction away from the gap and the upper end inwardly contracted relative to the sealing body in a direction close to the gap.
[0071] For example, the second sealing section L22 is arranged between the two adjacent first sealing sections L21 in the height direction Z.
[0072] Referring to Figure 11 Since the upper end S5 of the second sealing section is inwardly contracted relative to the sealing body in a direction close to the gap, at the joint position of the lower end S4 of the first sealing section and the upper end S5 of the second sealing section, the upper end S5 of the second sealing section can be embedded into the lower end S4 of the first sealing section, so as to reduce the risk of rainwater entering the gap between the two adjacent sealing sections L2 and achieve reliable waterproofing at the joint of the sealing sections L2.
[0073] Referring to Figure 12 Since the lower end S6 of the second sealing section is outwardly expanded relative to the sealing body in a direction away from the gap, at the joint position of the lower end S6 of the second sealing section and the upper end S3 of the first sealing section, the upper end S3 of the first sealing section can be embedded into the lower end S6 of the second sealing section, so as to reduce the risk of rainwater entering the gap between the two adjacent sealing sections L2 and achieve reliable waterproofing at the joint of the sealing sections L2.
[0074] Referring to Figures 1 to 13 , Figure 13 is Figure 2 is an enlarged view of C in FIG.
[0075] In some optional embodiments, the protection device 2 further comprises a protection end cover 23, which is arranged above the sealing member 21 and the protection cover 22 along the height direction Z of the tower body.
[0076] By arranging the protection end cover 23 on the tower 100, the protection end cover 23 is arranged above the sealing member 21 and the protection cover 22 along the height direction Z, i.e. above the end of the vertical flange 11, so as to prevent rainwater from entering from the end of the vertical joint, thereby further improving the reliability of the protection and reducing the risk of water leakage of the vertical joint of the tower 100.
[0077] Therefore, the tower 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively reduce the risk of water leakage at the vertical joint and has high reliability, because the tower 100 comprises the tower body and the protection device 2, and the vertical joint is circumferentially surrounded by the sealing member 21 and the protection cover 22 to form physical isolation. The wind turbine generator provided by the embodiments of the present application has good waterproof performance, long service life and other advantages, and is easy to popularize and use.

In particular, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict.
