AI Technical Summary
During the installation of offshore wind turbines, it is difficult to set the lifting and fixing components symmetrically about the central axis of the tower, which causes the tower to tilt after being lifted, affecting subsequent installation.
Positioning components (such as positioning rods or positioning rings) are used to define the position of the lifting fixtures, ensuring that they are symmetrically positioned about the central axis of the tower. The direction of the lifting force is adjusted by a balance bar, and airbags are used to reduce friction between the tower and the ship plate.
This ensures the verticality of the tower after lifting, reduces damage to the flanges and wear on the tower's protective layer, and simplifies the installation process.
