[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] As shown in Figures 1-6 ,
[0032] A new mixed tower foundation of the old mixed tower foundation, comprising an original small mixed tower foundation 1 and a newly set foundation 2, wherein:
[0033] The original small mixed tower wall 3 is fixed on the original small mixed tower foundation 1, and the original small mixed tower foundation 1 comprises an original bottom cylinder 101, an original middle circular truncated cone body 102 and an original top hollow cylinder 103, the original bottom cylinder 101, the original middle circular truncated cone body 102 and the original top hollow cylinder 103 are integrally formed from bottom to top, and the original bottom cylinder 101 is fixed on the foundation 4.
[0034] The new mixed tower wall 5 is fixed on the newly set foundation 2, and the newly set foundation 2 comprises a new middle circular truncated cone body 201 poured outside the original middle circular truncated cone body 102 and a new top hollow cylinder 202 poured at the position of the original top hollow cylinder 103.
[0035] Specifically, when pouring the new foundation 2, the original top hollow cylinder 103 of the original small tower foundation 1 is removed in the height H1 range, and the original steel is retained and integrated with the new top hollow cylinder 202 of the new foundation 2 for pouring and old application.
[0036] Specifically, when pouring the new foundation 2, the original small tower foundation 1 is treated with surface planting of steel with a diameter of 12mm on the outer surface in a longitudinal and transverse direction at intervals of 300mm, and the length of the steel in the new and old foundations is not less than 250mm. After the surface planting of the original small tower foundation 1, chiseling and cleaning are performed.
[0037] Specifically, the new foundation 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the original small tower foundation 1, the interface agent is brushed in advance before pouring the new foundation 2 at the joint surface of the new foundation 2 and the original small tower foundation 1, the dimensions of the new foundation 2, including the width B of the outer expansion of the original small tower foundation 1, the height H4 of the new middle circular cone body, the height H3 of the new top hollow cylinder, and the steel in the new foundation 2 are determined by finite element calculation, and the principle for determination is that the internal steel of the original small tower foundation remains unchanged.
[0038] Specifically,
[0039] Because the diameter of the new tower wall 5 is larger than that of the original small tower wall 3, the new tower wall 5 is located outside the original small tower wall 3 which has been removed, and the width B2 of the new top hollow cylinder of the new foundation 2 is greater than the width B1 of the original top hollow cylinder of the original small tower foundation 1.
[0040] The new tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 is also located outside the original small tower body prestressed anchor cable 7 which has been removed. The original prestressed anchor cable hole 8 and the new tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 are not on the same vertical line, and the new tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 will produce an angle when tensioned, which is extremely unfavorable for the tensioning work of the prestressed anchor cable and is easy to cause damage and data distortion of the new tower body prestressed anchor cable 6.
[0041] The prestressed anchor cable stress conversion is performed in the foundation, and the prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9 is arranged in the new foundation 2. The prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9 can easily change the direction of the tensioning force of the prestressed anchor cable through the movable wheel 9042 arranged inside, and the original prestressed anchor cable hole 8 is effectively applied.
[0042] Specifically, the prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9 includes five parts, namely, an upper steel pipe 901, a middle steel pipe 902, a lower steel pipe 903, a redirection wheel 904, and a sealing cover 905, wherein:
[0043] The steering wheel 904 comprises a fixed shaft 9041 and a movable wheel 9042, the fixed shaft 9041 is fixedly welded at the bottom of the upper steel pipe 901 and the top of the lower steel pipe 903, and the movable wheel 9042 is wrapped on the fixed shaft 9041 and can rotate and roll around the fixed shaft 9041 under the condition of extremely small friction.
[0044] The upper steel pipe 901 is arranged directly below the new-mixed-tower-body prestressed anchor cable 6 and is embedded in the newly-established foundation 2, and the length of the upper steel pipe 901 in the newly-established foundation 2 is not less than 250 mm. The lower end of the lower steel pipe 903 is nested in the original prestressed anchor cable channel 8 of the original small-mixed-tower foundation, and the upper end is arranged in the newly-established foundation 2, and the length of the lower steel pipe 903 in the new and old foundations is not less than 250 mm. The middle steel pipe 902 is welded and connected with the upper steel pipe 901 and the lower steel pipe 3-2 and is used for protecting the new-mixed-tower-body prestressed anchor cable 6 in the middle steel pipe 902.
[0045] The utility model discloses a construction method of a new-mixed-tower foundation of an old original mixed tower foundation, which comprises the following steps:
[0046] 1. The wind tower foundation of the wind power equipment is generally divided into three parts, i.e., a bottom cylinder, a middle circular table body and a top circular table body. For the mixed tower foundation, the mixed tower wall is provided with a prestressed anchor cable outside the body, and the prestressed anchor cable has tensioning and maintenance requirements. In order to meet the requirements, the wind tower foundation is generally provided with a cavity inside, so that personnel can enter the inside of the foundation to perform tensioning and maintenance work on the prestressed anchor cable. The wind tower foundation provided with the cavity forms a special mixed tower foundation.
[0047] Because the new mixed tower wall 5 has a larger diameter than the original small mixed tower wall 3, the new mixed tower wall 5 is located outside the original small mixed tower wall 3 which has been removed, and the width B2 of the hollow cylinder of the top of the new large unit mixed tower is greater than the width B1 of the hollow cylinder of the top of the original small unit mixed tower, so that the prestressed anchor cable stress device 3 can be conveniently installed.
[0048] The first step of the utility model is to remove the original top hollow cylinder of the existing small mixed tower foundation within the height H1 range, and the original steel bars are retained in the new mixed tower foundation for recycling.
[0049] 2. Because the stress of the original small mixed tower foundation generally cannot meet the requirements of the new large mixed tower foundation, the diameter of the large mixed tower foundation is generally greater than that of the original small mixed tower foundation. In order to meet the stress requirements of the new large mixed tower foundation, the small mixed tower foundation needs to be recycled by using the expansion section method when the wind power small mixed tower is upgraded to a large mixed tower. The wind tower foundation is subjected to wind load for a long time, and the fatigue effect is obvious. In order to solve the problem of the combination of the new and old foundations during the in-situ reconstruction of the wind tower foundation, the combination surface of the new and old foundations needs to be treated.
[0050] The utility model discloses second step: the surface of the original small mixed tower foundation 1 is handled with the surface planting of the reinforcing steel bar of 12mm diameter in longitudinal and transverse interval 300mm, and the length of the reinforcing steel bar in the new and old foundation is not less than 250mm, and after the surface planting of the reinforcing steel bar of the original small mixed tower foundation, the chiseling and cleaning are carried out again.
[0051] 3. In order to solve the problem of insufficient stress of the original foundation during the process of in-situ reconstruction of the new large mixed tower foundation, it is necessary to set a new foundation on the surface of the old foundation by expanding the cross section or other methods.
[0052] The utility model discloses third step: set up new foundation 2 on the outer surface of the original small mixed tower foundation 1, the interface agent is brushed in advance before the pouring of new foundation 2, the size of the new extension width B of the original small mixed tower foundation 1, the new middle part circular truncated cone body H4, the height H3 of the new top hollow cylinder and the reinforcing steel bar in new foundation 2 are determined by finite element calculation, and the principle is that the reinforcing steel bar in the original small mixed tower foundation remains unchanged.
[0053] 4. Because the diameter of the new mixed tower wall 5 is larger than that of the original small mixed tower wall 3, the position of the new mixed tower wall 5 will be outside the original small mixed tower wall 3 that has been removed, and the new mixed tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 will also be outside the original small mixed tower body prestressed anchor cable 7 that has been removed. The original prestressed anchor cable hole 8 and the new mixed tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 will not be on the same vertical line, and when the new mixed tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 is prestressed and tensioned, an angle will be generated, which will be extremely unfavorable for the tensioning work of the prestressed anchor cable and will easily cause damage to the new mixed tower body prestressed anchor cable 6 and data distortion.
[0054] The utility model discloses fourth step: prestressed anchor cable stress conversion is carried out in the foundation, and prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9 is arranged in new foundation 2, and the tensioning force of the prestressed anchor cable can be easily diverted in direction through the movable wheel 9042 arranged in the prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9, and the original anchor cable prestressed hole 4 is effectively applied.
[0055] Specifically, the prestressed anchor cable stress redirection device 9 includes five parts, which are an upper steel pipe 901, a middle steel pipe 902, a lower steel pipe 903, a redirection wheel 904 and a sealing cover 905.
[0056] The redirection wheel 904 includes a fixed shaft 9041 and a movable wheel 9042, the fixed shaft 9041 is fixedly welded at the bottom of the upper steel pipe 901 and the top of the lower steel pipe 903, and the movable wheel 9042 is wrapped on the fixed shaft 9041 and can rotate and roll around the fixed shaft 9041 under very small friction.
[0057] The upper steel pipe 901 is positioned directly below the prestressed anchor cable 6 of the new concrete tower body and embedded within the newly constructed foundation 2. The upper steel pipe 901 has a length of at least 250mm both inside and outside the newly constructed foundation 2. The lower steel pipe 903 has its lower end nested within the original prestressed anchor cable duct 8 of the original small concrete tower foundation, and its upper end positioned within the newly constructed foundation 2. The length of the lower steel pipe 903 within both the old and new foundations is at least 250mm. The middle steel pipe 902 is welded to the upper steel pipe 901 and the lower steel pipe 902 to protect the prestressed anchor cable 6 of the new concrete tower body within it.
[0058] With the above setup, the newly constructed foundation 2 is poured to form the new large concrete tower foundation of this utility model embodiment.
[0059] This invention maintains the original reinforcement configuration of the original foundation slab, while a new foundation is poured outside the original foundation, with reinforcement bars connecting the old and new foundations. This invention also incorporates a prestressed anchor cable force redirection device within the foundation, utilizing the existing foundation cavity and anchor cable ducts to redirect the tension force of the prestressed anchor cables, effectively utilizing the existing prestressed anchor cable ducts. Compared to existing technologies, this invention can fully utilize existing mixed-structure foundations in upgrade and renovation projects, effectively reducing project costs and construction time.
[0060] Example: A 2.5MW wind turbine is being upgraded to a 7.25MW unit. The original foundation was a 15-meter diameter frustum-shaped gravity foundation. The original foundation used approximately 400m³ of reinforced concrete. 3 If the traditional techniques of demolition, reduction, or enlargement of the cross-section are adopted, the wind load bending moment after upgrading the 2.5MW unit to a 7.25MW unit will be approximately three times the original bending moment. The diameter of the new foundation will be approximately 20 meters, and the amount of reinforced concrete used will be approximately 800 cubic meters. 3 By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the newly designed foundation fully utilizes the existing small concrete tower foundation, and the amount of reinforced concrete used for the new foundation is approximately 500m³. 3 It saves 300m³ of reinforced concrete compared to conventional technology. 3 This saves approximately 37.5% of the workload, demonstrating a significant effect.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
