Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wind turbine tower technology and equipment, and more specifically, to a protective device for concrete tower segments. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete towers are tower structures assembled from tunnel segments as the main load-bearing components. The quality of the tunnel segments directly affects the overall quality and safety of the tower. After the tunnel segments are processed, they are generally placed directly on the prefabrication site without any protection at the bottom, which is not conducive to the protection of the tunnel segments. Similarly, if no protective measures are taken to protect the bottom of the concrete tower tunnel segments during transportation, the tunnel segments are easily damaged by impacts.

[0003] In related technologies, a wooden pad structure is usually placed at the bottom of the tunnel segment. However, this wooden pad structure cannot be applied to tunnel segments of different types and sizes. Therefore, if the processing dimensions of the tunnel segment change, the wooden pad structure must be redesigned, which consumes a lot of time and manpower. Utility Model Content

[0029] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0030] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and are not sequential or significant. In addition, when the following description relates to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0031] according to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, embodiments of this disclosure provide a protective device for concrete tower segments. This device can be installed at the bottom of the concrete tower segments to prevent direct contact between the segments and the ground or transport vehicles, thus preventing damage from impacts and friction. The protective device includes a first base 1 and a second base 2. The first base 1 may include a first connecting portion 11 and a first stop portion 10 connected to the first connecting portion 11. The second base 2 may include a second stop portion 20 and a second connecting portion 21 opposite to the first stop portion 10 and the first connecting portion 11. The second connecting portion 21 is movably connected to the first connecting portion 11, allowing the distance between the first stop portion 10 and the second stop portion 20 to be adjustable, and enabling the first stop portion 10 and the second stop portion 20 to form an accommodating space 3 for accommodating the concrete tower segments.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, a second connecting part 21 that can move relative to the first connecting part 11 of the first base 1 is provided in the second base 2. A first stop part 10 and a second stop part 20 connected to the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 are respectively provided in the first base 1 and the second base 2. By moving the second connecting part 21, the second stop part 20 can move away from or closer to the first stop part 10, thereby changing the size of the accommodating space 3. Therefore, the protection device of this disclosure can adapt to concrete tower segments of different sizes by adjusting the size of the accommodating space 3, and is more operable and convenient.

[0033] Both the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 can be constructed as L-shaped structures, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on them.

[0034] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first connecting part 11 may include a guide 12, and the second connecting part 21 may include a mating part 22 that cooperates with the guide 12 to enhance the smoothness of the second connecting part 21 during movement and to prevent the second connecting part 21 from shifting during movement.

[0035] Optionally, the first connecting part 11 may further include an internal space 13 for accommodating the second connecting part 21. The guide 12 is disposed on the side wall of the internal space 13. For example, the guide 12 may be disposed on the top wall of the internal space 13, or it may be disposed on the side wall of the internal space 13 perpendicular to the top wall. This disclosure does not specifically limit this. The second connecting part 21 is movably connected to the guide 12 through the mating part 22, so that the second connecting part 21 can enter or move away from the internal space 13, thereby realizing the adjustment of the size of the accommodating space 3.

[0036] In some unillustrated feasible embodiments, the first connecting part 11 can be arranged side by side with the second connecting part 21, the guide 12 can be arranged on the side wall of the first connecting part 11 opposite to the second connecting part 21, and the mating part 22 can be arranged on the side wall of the second connecting part 21 opposite to the first connecting part 11. In this way, the aforementioned internal space 13 is not required, and the first connecting part can be constructed as a solid structure to increase the load-bearing capacity. The size of the accommodating space 3 can also be adjusted to accommodate concrete tower segments of different sizes.

[0037] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the guide 12 can be constructed as a groove, and the mating part 22 can be constructed as a slider. The stability of the second connecting part 21 during movement is further enhanced by the cooperation between the groove and the slider.

[0038] The construction of the guide member 12 and the mating member 22 can be adapted to meet the needs of the actual situation. For example, the guide member 12 can also be constructed as a slide rail, and the mating member 22 can also be constructed as a pulley; or, the guide member 12 can be constructed as a slider, and the mating member 22 can be constructed as a groove. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to the needs of the actual situation.

[0039] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the top wall of the internal space 13 may also be provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 4. The number and shape of the reinforcing ribs 4 can be adapted to the actual needs. For example, the number of reinforcing ribs 4 can be five or six, and the reinforcing ribs 4 can be strip ribs or mesh ribs to further enhance the load-bearing capacity of the first connection part 11. This disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to the actual needs.

[0040] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a first mating part 14 may also be provided on the first connecting part 11, and a second mating part 23 may also be provided on the second connecting part 21. The first mating part 14 and the second mating part 23 can be fixedly connected by a fastener to fix the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21, so as to prevent the concrete tower segment from being moved relative to the first connecting part 11 when it is subjected to external impact, which would cause the concrete tower segment to collide with the first stop part 10 and the second stop part 20 or cause the concrete tower segment to tilt directly.

[0041] Optionally, the first mating part 14 can be configured as a through hole communicating with the internal space 13, the second mating part 23 can be configured as a threaded hole, and the fastener can be configured as a bolt. Thus, by inserting the bolt through the through hole of the first connecting part 11 and threading it into the threaded hole of the second connecting part 21, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 are fixed. This prevents the second connecting part 21 from moving relative to the first connecting part 11 during the transportation of the concrete tower segments, which could cause the concrete tower segments to overturn or tip over due to vehicle bumps.

[0042] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, there can be multiple first mating parts 14 and multiple second mating parts 23. Multiple first mating parts 14 are spaced apart on the first connecting part 11, and multiple second mating parts 23 are spaced apart on the second connecting part 21. By providing multiple first mating parts 14 and multiple second mating parts 23, the adjustability and flexibility of the second connecting part 21 relative to the first connecting part 11 are enhanced. This avoids the situation where the adjustment range is too small to adapt to larger concrete tower segments, or the situation where the adjustment range is too large to adapt to smaller concrete tower segments.

[0043] The number of second mating parts 23 can be greater than or equal to the number of first mating parts 14. For example, the number of first mating parts 14 can be four, and the number of second mating parts 23 can be six or eight, in order to avoid the problem that the first mating parts 14 and the second mating parts 23 cannot be aligned in a short time in an emergency.

[0044] The structural limitations of the first mating part 14 and the second mating part 23 in this disclosure are only for the purposes of this disclosure. The first mating part 14 can also be constructed as a press-type buckle, and the second mating part 23 can also be constructed as a through hole, the interior of which can be provided with an elastic locking block or retaining ring. This disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard, as long as the function of fixing the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 can be achieved. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to the actual needs.

[0045] In some feasible ways, for example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, protective gaskets 5 can be provided on both the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21. For example, the protective gaskets 5 can be rubber gaskets, thereby enhancing the friction between the concrete tower pipe segments and the contact surfaces of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21, and preventing the concrete tower pipe segments from sliding.

[0046] In this invention, one of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 may be provided with a protective gasket 5, while the other may not be provided with a protective gasket. This disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard, and those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to the actual needs.

[0047] Optionally, protective gaskets 5 may also be provided on the first stop portion 10 and the second stop portion 20, and this disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0048] This disclosure exemplarily describes the installation process of the protective device and the concrete tower segment. For example, the operator first measures the dimensions of the concrete tower segment, and accordingly adjusts the movement distance of the second connecting part 21 relative to the first connecting part 11 based on these dimensions, so that the accommodating space 3 formed by the first stop part 10 and the second stop part 20 is sufficient to accommodate the concrete tower segment. The fixing member is inserted into the first mating part 14 and fixedly connected to the second mating part 23, locking the size of the accommodating space 3. To avoid a height difference between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21, a protective gasket 5 can be placed on the surface of the second connecting part 21 to ensure that the first... The connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 are at the same height. After the arrangement is completed, the operator uses a crane to lift the concrete tower segment and place it in the accommodating space 3. In another installation method, the operator can roughly adjust the size of the accommodating space 3 according to the size of the concrete tower segment, then use a crane to lift the concrete tower segment and place it in the accommodating space 3, then adjust the second connecting part 21 so that the second stop part 20 contacts the wall of the concrete tower segment, then fix the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 with fasteners, and put protective pads 5 according to the height difference between the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21.

[0049] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0050] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0051] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
