Conventional lattice tower foundations consist of four foundations with a diameter of 7-10m connected to the bottom of the tower. The struts at the bottom of the lattice tower are all installed on the corresponding foundations to support the lattice tower. This support method requires a large land area. Utility Model Content

[0034] See Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a lattice-type tower pile-tube composite foundation, comprising: a cylindrical foundation 1, piles 2, connecting rods 3, and connecting components. Multiple piles 2 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical foundation 1. Specifically, the piles 2 can be configured as straight piles or inclined piles depending on the soil conditions. Straight piles can be used for soils with uniform geological conditions, while inclined piles can be used for foundations with rock at the bottom of the soil layer, difficult driving, or weak soil bearing capacity. The connecting rods 3 correspond one-to-one with the piles 2, and are installed on the piles 2. The other end of the connecting rods 3 is installed on... On the cylindrical foundation 1; furthermore, the end of the connecting rod 3 away from the cylindrical foundation 1 is inclined downwards; the load of the cylindrical foundation 1 is transferred to the pile 2 through the connecting rod 3. Through the inclined connecting rod 3, the cylindrical foundation 1 can be provided with a larger bending bearing capacity, the overturning resistance is improved, and the seismic performance is enhanced; specifically, the inclination of the connecting rod 3 should not exceed 45°, and the connection between the connecting rod 3 and the pile 2 is filled with high-strength grout to ensure the integrity of the foundation and the force transmission performance; the connecting component connects the upper end of the pile 2 to the bottom support of the lattice tower.

[0035] In practice, during the construction of the cylindrical foundation, the bottom and surrounding concrete are poured first, then the inside of the cylinder is filled with sand and gravel, followed by a 100mm thick top concrete layer. This reduces the amount of steel reinforcement required, making construction convenient. The load of the cylindrical foundation 1 is transferred to the surrounding piles 2 through the connecting rods 3. The piles 2 provide the cylindrical foundation 1 with a large bending bearing capacity, reducing the embedment depth of the cylindrical foundation 1. Thus, a single cylindrical foundation can support and fix the lattice tower, solving the problems of high foundation bearing capacity requirements and large land acquisition area for lattice towers.

Furthermore, the diameters of the vertical connector 4 and the inclined connector 5 are the same as the diameter of the pile body 2; specifically, the bottom of the vertical connector 4 is inserted into the pile body 2, thereby facilitating the bearing of the load of the upper wind turbine.

[0038] In practice, an opening is provided on the side of the inclined steel pipe 51, and the side plate 55 is detachably installed at the opening on the side of the inclined steel pipe 51 by bolts, so as to open the inclined steel pipe 51, and then the lattice tower prestressed anchor is fixed to the anchor plate 54, avoiding internal tensioning of conventional foundations, making construction convenient and unrestricted.

[0039] See Figures 1-3In other embodiments, a cavity 11 is provided on the upper part of the cylindrical foundation 1, and an electrical structure 12 is provided inside the cavity 11. In specific implementation, a cavity 11 with a diameter of 5-8m and a height of 1.5-4m is provided on the upper part of the cylindrical foundation; by placing the electrical structure 12 inside the cavity 11 of the cylindrical foundation 1, the site area can be saved more than that of the traditional lattice foundation, thereby reducing the land acquisition area.

[0040] See Figures 1-3 In another embodiment, a pile shoe 6 is installed at the lower end of the pile body 2. The pile shoe 6 serves to guide and seal the pile body 2 during sinking construction, and its bottom position improves the bearing capacity of the pile body 2 during operation. Specifically, the pile shoe 6 has a height of 0.3-0.6m and a wall thickness of 10-40mm. Furthermore, a triangular cone 61 is installed circumferentially on the pile shoe 6. The triangular cone 61 facilitates piercing the soil, reduces soil resistance, eases the difficulty of driving the pile body 2, and improves the bearing capacity of the pile body 2. Furthermore, multiple ventilation holes 62 are provided circumferentially on the pile shoe 6. These ventilation holes 62 allow for air release during grouting.
