[0002] In the field of structural wind engineering, the tower structure such as wind turbine is prone to vortex vibration under the action of wind load, which will seriously affect the structural safety, therefore, it is necessary to apply the vibration suppression measures to the tower to reduce the influence of vortex vibration on the tower or suppress the occurrence of vortex vibration.
[0003] People usually divide the vibration suppression measures into active control method and passive control method according to the energy input form of the vibration suppression measures.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 A vortex suppression device, comprising a fixed ring 100, a sliding assembly and a partition plate 200, wherein the sliding assembly is slidingly connected to the fixed ring 100, and the sliding assembly can slide back and forth around the center of the fixed ring 100; the partition plate 200 is connected to the sliding assembly, and the partition plate 200 is spaced apart by at least two around the fixed ring 100, and a wind guide included angle is formed between the two partition plates 200 on both sides of the sliding assembly.
[0027] From the above, the fixed ring 100 is used to connect the tower drum outside the external device, and the wind guide included angle is formed between the two separation plates 200 on the sliding assembly, which ensures that a structure for guiding and blocking the flow of the incoming flow can be formed outside the tower drum. When the tower drum is subjected to the incoming flow, the separation plate 200 is subjected to wind pressure and slides on the fixed ring 100 by following the sliding assembly, so that the included angle between the two separation plates 200 on the sliding assembly and the wind direction of the incoming flow is equal. At this time, the separation plate 200 outside the tower drum rotates to the wake position of the incoming flow according to the direction of the incoming flow, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive resistance caused by directly blocking the incoming flow passing through the outside of the tower drum. In this way, the separation plate 200 can rotate and adjust the position according to the incoming flow in different directions, and the aerodynamic force coat formed outside the tower drum can be changed by using the separation plate 200, so as to effectively suppress and weaken the vortex vibration and improve the stability of the tower drum structure.
[0028] The number of fixed rings 100 can be only one, at this time the separation plate 200 has a relative sliding connection structure in only one position relative to the tower drum of the external device. When the area required by the separation plate 200 is large, the connection structure of the separation plate 200 is not stable enough at this time. Therefore, in order to improve the stability of the sliding connection structure of the separation plate 200 relative to the tower drum, at least two fixed rings 100 are connected in the up-down direction in the embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a sliding unit and a connecting piece 310, the sliding unit includes an upper sliding seat 320 and a lower sliding seat 330, the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330 are respectively connected to the two fixed rings 100, the separation plate 200 is connected between the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330, and the sliding unit is spaced apart around the fixed ring 100. There are at least two, the connecting piece 310 is connected between two adjacent upper sliding seats 320 and two adjacent lower sliding seats 330 respectively. Each separation plate 200 slides on at least two fixed rings 100 through a sliding unit. Specifically, on each separation plate 200, an upper sliding seat 320 and a lower sliding seat 330 are connected respectively, and the separation plate 200 slides on two fixed rings 100 through the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330 respectively, which improves the stability of the relative rotation of the separation plate 200 outside the tower drum. Between the two sliding units, the connecting piece 310 is connected between the two upper sliding seats 320 and the two lower sliding seats 330 respectively, so as to reinforce the stability of the structure between the top and bottom of the two separation plates 200, and the distance between the two separation plates 200 is fixed by the connecting piece 310 to form a fixed wind guide included angle.
[0029] In practical application, the fixed ring 100 can be spaced apart in the up-down direction with two, two fixed ring 100 corresponding to the top and bottom of the partition plate 200 position, and the number of slip units is also two, the upper slide 320 and the lower slide 330 of the two sliding units are connected with the partition plate 200 corresponding to the connection, and the guide wind angle is formed between the two partition plates 200.
[0030] The upper slide 320 is slidably connected to the fixed ring 100 on the top side, which has various structural forms, for example, the upper slide 320 and one of the fixed rings 100 are provided with a slide rail, and the other is provided with a slide groove. Through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide groove, the upper slide 320 can be slidably connected to the fixed ring 100. In this embodiment, the outer side of the fixed ring 100 on the upper side is formed with an outer baffle arranged downward, as shown in Figure 2 The upper slide 320 is provided with a first roller 321 for sliding on the top side of the fixed ring 100, and the upper slide 320 is provided with a second roller 322 for sliding on the inner side of the outer baffle. In practical application, the upper slide 320 has a part extending above the fixed ring 100 for mounting and fixing the first roller 321. Similarly, the lower slide 330 has a part extending below the fixed ring 100 for mounting and fixing the second roller 322. The upper slide 320 is abutted to the top side of the fixed ring 100 on the upper side by the first roller 321, and can slide on the fixed ring 100. The second roller 322 is abutted to the inner side of the outer baffle to prevent the top of the partition plate 200 from being separated from the fixed ring 100 on the upper side outwardly, so as to realize the sliding connection of the upper slide 320 on the fixed ring 100 on the upper side.
[0031] For the sliding connection of the lower slide 330 on the fixed ring 100 on the top side, it has various structural forms, for example, one of the lower slide 330 and the fixed ring 100 is provided with a slide rail, and the other is provided with a slide groove. Through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide groove, the lower slide 330 can be slidably connected to the fixed ring 100. In this embodiment, the bottom side of the fixed ring 100 on the lower side is provided with a first baffle and a second baffle along the direction close to the center of the fixed ring 100, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the lower sliding seat 330 is provided with a third roller 331 for sliding on the top side of the fixed ring 100, the lower sliding seat 330 is provided with a fourth roller 332 for sliding on the inner side of the first baffle, the lower sliding seat 330 is provided with a fifth roller 333 for sliding on the outer side of the second baffle. In actual application, the lower sliding seat 330 has a part extending above the fixed ring 100 for mounting the third roller 331, similarly, the lower sliding seat 330 has a part extending below the fixed ring 100 for mounting the fourth roller 332 and the fifth roller 333. The lower sliding seat 330 is in abutment with the top side of the fixed ring 100 on the lower side through the third roller 331, and can slide on the fixed ring 100, and is in abutment with the inner side of the first baffle through the fourth roller 332, preventing the bottom of the partition plate 200 from being separated from the fixed ring 100 on the lower side, and is in abutment with the outer side of the second baffle through the fifth roller 333, preventing the lower sliding seat 330 from being deviated towards the tower from the excessive falling force of the partition plate 200, thus realizing the sliding connection of the lower sliding seat 330 on the fixed ring 100 on the lower side.
[0032] In order to enhance the reliability of the sliding unit structure, the sliding unit further comprises a reinforcing rod 340 connected between the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330. The reinforcing rod 340 connects the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330 with each other, so that the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330 are connected as a whole, and when the partition plate 200 is connected to the upper sliding seat 320 and the lower sliding seat 330, the structural strength of the partition plate 200 itself can be enhanced, thereby further improving the overall structural stability.
[0033] Further, the connecting piece 310 is further connected to the middle part of the two reinforcing rods 340. Between the two sliding units, the middle parts of the two reinforcing rods 340 are further connected by the connecting piece 310, which can further support the middle parts of the two reinforcing rods 340, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the two sliding units and further improving the overall structural stability.
[0034] According to different use conditions, the air guide angle formed between the two partition plates 200 can be adjusted to adapt to different use requirements. There are various ways to adjust the position of the two partition plates 200. In embodiment one, the connecting pieces 310 are detachably connected to the upper sliding seats 320 and the lower sliding seats 330. For example, the connecting pieces 310 are arc-shaped plate structures, and the two ends of the connecting pieces 310 are fixed to the upper sliding seats 320 or the lower sliding seats 330 by screws. When it is necessary to change the size of the air guide angle, the distance between the two sliding seats can be adjusted. At this time, the connecting pieces 310 between the two upper sliding seats 320 and the connecting pieces 310 between the two lower sliding seats 330 can be re-detached and replaced, so as to improve the flexibility of use. In this embodiment, the connecting pieces 310 in the middle of the two reinforcing rods 340 are also detachably connected to the two reinforcing rods 340.
[0035] In embodiment two, the connecting pieces 310 include connecting rods and linear driving pieces. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the linear driving piece, and the other end of the connecting rod and the other end of the linear driving piece are rotatably connected to two upper sliding seats 320 or two lower sliding seats 330, respectively. The linear driving piece is a driving piece for providing reciprocating movement in a straight line direction, and there are various structural forms, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric screw rod. Between the two upper sliding seats 320, one end of the connecting rod away from the linear driving piece is rotatably connected to one of the upper sliding seats 320, and the other end of the linear driving piece away from the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other upper sliding seat 320. Similarly, between the two lower sliding seats 330, one end of the connecting rod away from the linear driving piece is rotatably connected to one of the lower sliding seats 330, and the other end of the linear driving piece away from the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other lower sliding seat 330. When it is necessary to change the size of the air guide angle, the linear driving pieces between the two upper sliding seats 320 and the two lower sliding seats 330 are adjusted synchronously. For example, when the two ends of the linear driving piece are away from each other, the two partition plates 200 are pushed away from each other, thereby increasing the air guide angle. When the two ends of the linear driving piece are close to each other, the two partition plates 200 are pulled close to each other, thereby reducing the air guide angle. In this way, the overall structure state can be more flexibly and conveniently changed according to different use requirements. In this embodiment, the connecting pieces 310 in the middle of the two reinforcing rods 340 also include connecting rods and linear driving pieces. At this time, one end of the connecting rod away from the linear driving piece is rotatably connected to the middle of one of the reinforcing rods 340, and the other end of the linear driving piece away from the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the other reinforcing rod 340.
[0036] In order to reduce the blockage of the airflow by the partition plate 200, in the present embodiment, a plurality of through holes 210 are arranged on the partition plate 200, and in actual application, the number of the through holes 210 on each partition plate 200 can be adjusted according to the porosity, for example, the number of the through holes 210 on each partition plate 200 is adjusted according to the porosity of 20% to 50%. When the airflow passes through the partition plate 200, the airflow can pass through the plurality of through holes 210 on the partition plate 200, so that the blockage of the airflow by the partition plate 200 is reduced, the vortex vibration is suppressed, and the structural stability of the tower drum is further improved.
[0037] In some embodiments, the angle between the air guide is between 60 degrees and 120 degrees, for example, the angle between the air guide can be 60 degrees, 80 degrees, 100 degrees or 120 degrees, etc. The angle between the air guide in this range can better guide the airflow and block the airflow, which can effectively suppress and weaken the vortex vibration and also consider the structural stability of the tower drum. Preferably, the angle between the air guide can be controlled to be 90 degrees, which can better suppress the vortex vibration.
