AI Technical Summary
When using traditional submerged arc welding fasteners for transition sections, the overall structure of the transition section is conical. Over a long period of time, rolling on the roller frame will cause longitudinal slippage, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the weld and the risk of the transition section tower falling.
A fixed fixture for submerged arc welding of circumferential seams in wind turbine tower transition sections was designed, including a support platform, support rollers, limit wheels, and a stabilizing plate structure. The support rollers and limit wheels are used together to ensure that the transition section does not slip longitudinally during the welding process, and the limit wheels are distributed in a circumferential array to resist longitudinal movement.
This effectively avoids engineering quality and construction safety issues caused by longitudinal slippage during the welding process of the transition section, ensures the continuity and stability of the weld, and improves welding quality and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of submerged arc welding fixing technology, specifically a fixing fixture for submerged arc welding of circumferential seams in wind turbine tower transition sections. Background Technology
[0002] The transition section of a wind turbine tower is a crucial part connecting the tower and the foundation, and it is essential to the stability and safety of the entire wind power system. The design and manufacturing quality of the transition section directly affects the load-bearing capacity and dynamic response of the tower, ensuring the stable operation of the wind turbine under various wind speeds and environmental conditions. During the installation and connection process, circumferential submerged arc welding forms a continuous and uniform weld at the circumferential joint of the transition section, ensuring a firm connection between the various parts of the tower and improving the overall rigidity and wind resistance of the structure.
[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional fasteners for circumferential submerged arc welding of transition sections mainly consist of a support frame, rollers, and a connecting structure. The support frame provides stable support to ensure the verticality and horizontality of the transition section during welding. The rollers are mounted on the support frame to support and roll the transition section, enabling it to rotate smoothly during welding and ensuring the uniformity and continuity of the weld. The connecting structure connects the various components of the fastener to ensure stable operation of the fastener.
[0004] However, when using traditional fasteners for submerged arc welding of circumferential seams in transition sections, the overall structure of the transition section is conical, so long-term rolling on the roller frame will cause longitudinal slippage. This not only makes it impossible to accurately position the weld, but also poses a risk of the transition section tower falling. To address this problem, this utility model proposes a fastener for submerged arc welding of circumferential seams in wind turbine tower transition sections. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixing fixture for submerged arc welding of the circumferential seam of a wind turbine tower transition section, the fixing fixture for submerged arc welding of the circumferential seam of a wind turbine tower transition section includes: a support platform 1, support rollers 2 are installed on both sides of the surface of the support platform 1, and a transition section 3 is provided between the support rollers 2;
[0025] The limiting wheel 4 has three sets. The surface of the limiting wheel 4 is in contact with one end of the transition section 3. The limiting wheel 4 is installed on the surface of the horizontal plate 5.
[0026] In use, the adapter section 3 can be locked between the support rollers 2 on the surface of the support platform 1. The adapter section 3 has a conical structure. When it rotates on the support rollers 2 for a long time, it will slide longitudinally. At the same time, the lower end of the adapter section 3 is in contact with the limiting wheel 4 on the surface of the horizontal plate 5. The three sets of limiting wheels 4 are arranged in a circumferential array. This way, the longitudinal movement of the adapter section 3 during rotation can be resisted without affecting its rotation. This avoids the problem of longitudinal movement caused by the adapter section 3 rotating for a long time, which may affect the quality of the project and construction safety.
[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, to prevent longitudinal sliding of the transition section 3, a limiting wheel 4 is provided. The limiting wheel 4 is engaged between the fixed plates 8. The surface of the fixed plate 8 has a hole, and a fixed bearing 9 is fixedly installed in the hole. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the fixed bearing 9. The connecting rod is located at both ends of the limiting wheel 4, and the limiting wheel 4 can rotate freely between the fixed plates 8. The fixed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 11. The surface of the mounting plate 11 has a hole, and a fixing screw 12 is provided in the hole. The fixing screw 12 passes through the mounting plate 11 and is threadedly connected to the mounting nut 13.
[0028] Two sets of horizontal plates 5 are provided. The horizontal plates 5 are fixedly installed between the support rods 10. Three sets of limiting wheels 4 are distributed in a circular array on the surface of the two sets of horizontal plates 5.
[0029] To prevent longitudinal sliding of the transition section 3, when longitudinal sliding occurs, the limiting wheel 4 located at one end of the transition section 3 will resist the longitudinal movement generated by the transition section 3 during rotation, thereby preventing the transition section 3 from longitudinally sliding after rotating on the support roller 2 for a long time.
[0030] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to enable the transition section 3 to rotate smoothly during welding, a support platform 1 is provided. The support platform 1 is a rectangular structure. An arc groove 6 is provided on the surface of the support platform 1. The transition section 3 is fixed above the arc groove 6. Four sets of roller grooves 7 are provided on the surface of the support platform 1. Stabilizing plates 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support platform 1.
[0031] The roller groove 7 has a semi-circular cross section and is evenly distributed on both sides of the transition section 3. A support roller 2 is inserted into the roller groove 7 and is tangent to the outer wall surface of the transition section 3.
[0032] In order to enable the adapter section 3 to rotate smoothly, during installation, the adapter section 3 is installed directly above the arc groove 6 on the surface of the support platform 1 and is locked between the four sets of support rollers 2. The support rollers 2 are located at both ends of the adapter section 3. At the same time, the surface of the support rollers 2 is tangent to the outer wall surface at both ends of the adapter section 3, so that the adapter section 3 can rotate smoothly on the four sets of support rollers 2.
[0033] The support rod 10 has an overall "I" shaped structure. A stabilizing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support rod 10. One end of the surface of the stabilizing plate 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the reinforcing diagonal rod 15, and the other end of the reinforcing diagonal rod 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 10.
[0034] In order to enable the transition section 3 to rotate smoothly, stabilizing plates 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support platform 1. The stabilizing plates 14 increase the support area of the overall device, and the stabilizing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the support rod 10 through the reinforcing diagonal rod 15, so that the device as a whole forms a relatively stable structure, thereby enabling the transition section 3 to rotate smoothly on the support roller 2.
[0035] Working principle: In actual use, the adapter section 3 can be locked between the support rollers 2 on the surface of the support platform 1. The adapter section 3 has a conical structure. When it rotates on the support rollers 2 for a long time, it will slide longitudinally. At the same time, the lower end of the adapter section 3 is in contact with the limiting wheel 4 on the surface of the horizontal plate 5. The three sets of limiting wheels 4 are arranged in a circumferential array. This way, the longitudinal movement of the adapter section 3 during rotation can be resisted without affecting its rotation. This avoids the problem of longitudinal movement caused by the adapter section 3 rotating for a long time, which affects the quality of the project and construction safety.
