Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine construction technology, specifically to a transition section conversion mechanism for a segmented prestressed concrete tower. Background Technology

[0002] my country possesses abundant wind resources, and wind power generation has become a crucial component of the country's total electricity generation, serving as an important measure for green and sustainable development. In recent years, my country's wind power industry has experienced rapid growth, with tower heights increasing from 90m to over 140m. However, when tower height exceeds 90m, traditional pure steel towers are no longer sufficient (excessive height lowers the natural frequency of the steel tower, leading to resonance with the rotor rotation). Hybrid towers (upper steel tower, lower concrete tower) possess a higher natural frequency, thus meeting safety requirements and offering advantages in transportation and installation.

[0003] The traditional transition section connection device between the existing concrete tower section and the steel tower section uses concrete pre-embedded bolts and anchor steel plates for tightening. Due to the large spacing between the bolt installation positions, the stress in the concrete tower is uneven. During the operation of the wind turbine, tensile stress is continuously generated on the concrete tower wall, which can cause cracking of the concrete tower in severe cases. Its crack resistance cannot be guaranteed, affecting the overall service life of the tower. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a transition section conversion mechanism for segmented prestressed concrete towers, which solves the problem of uneven stress in the concrete tower caused by the existing connection between the concrete tower section and the steel tower section by bolts.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer wall thickness of the concrete transition cylinder section is greater than the outer wall thickness of the concrete tower section, so that the extension line of the axis of the steel strand pre-embedded hole is located inside the concrete tower section.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connecting member includes positioning holes spaced apart at the top of the steel pad; positioning pins are detachably provided in the top positioning holes; positioning pin holes are spaced apart at the bottom end of the steel transition cylinder section, and the steel transition cylinder section is connected to the positioning pins through the positioning pin holes and installed on the steel pad.

[0027] Further, see Figure 1 , 3 The outer wall thickness of the concrete transition cylinder section 4 is greater than that of the outer wall thickness of the concrete tower section 2, so that the extension line of the axis of the steel strand pre-embedded hole 6 is located inside the concrete tower section 2.

[0028] Preferably, multiple sets of pre-embedded holes 6, pre-pierced holes 14, and conduit 102 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the tower foundation platform 1.
