[0040] Features and exemplary embodiments of each aspect of the present application will be described in detail below. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present application can be practiced without some or all of these specific details. The description of the embodiments is merely illustrative of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, as is apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. In the drawings and description below, well-known structures and techniques have not been shown or described in detail in order not to obscure the application. Also, descriptions of features, structures, or characteristics can be presented in a single embodiment, although the features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0041] The orientation words appearing in the following description are the directions shown in the drawings, and are not intended to limit the specific structure of the tower installation platform of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] In the existing wind turbine generator set, the nacelle and the impeller are usually supported by the tower or the tower drum to be located at a preset height. The tower is usually made of multiple segments spliced together due to its long size in the height direction. When the tower is installed, the first segment can be connected to the support base first, and then the tower segments are connected and arranged segment by segment with the previous segment until the complete tower is spliced. During this process, the operating personnel need to perform high-altitude operation to operate the tower segment at a high place.

[0043] On this basis, taking a lattice tower or a truss tower as an example, the lattice or truss wind turbine tower is usually composed of multiple tower segments, each tower segment being in the form of a triangular or quadrilateral tower composed of 3-4 support columns and multiple diagonal struts. The height of each tower segment is set in the range of 10-15 meters, and each tower segment is connected by flange bolts. The installation method in the related art is that a fixed work platform is integrated on the support column to support the construction personnel to tighten the bolts during the flange bolt butt joint installation. The above fixed work platform has small operating space, high risk coefficient, and the installation personnel also need to manually climb the ladder provided on the support column to the fixed work platform, which has the problems of low safety and low work efficiency.

[0044] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a tower installation platform which can be used to support the operating personnel, ensure construction safety, and improve construction efficiency.

[0045] It can be understood that the following embodiments are only described by taking the application of the tower installation platform 100 to the installation of the wind turbine generator set tower as an example, but it should be understood that the present application is not limited thereto, but can also be applied to other occasions where a support structure with a large height size spliced by multiple segments needs to be installed and protection is provided.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a tower installation platform 100 for tower installation. The tower includes multiple tower segments 201 spliced in sequence along a first direction X. The tower installation platform 100 includes an operating platform 10, a guide assembly 20, and a driving assembly. The operating platform 10 is installed on the side surface 201a of the tower segment 201. The guide assembly 20 is arranged between the operating platform 10 and the tower segment 201, and is used to guide the movement of the operating platform 10 in the first direction X. The driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the movement of the operating platform 10 in the first direction X relative to the tower segment 201.

[0047] The tower to be installed can be a lattice tower. In some embodiments, the tower to be installed can be a steel tower, a concrete tower, or a combination of a steel tower and a concrete tower.

[0048] The first direction X can be understood as the height direction of the tower formed by splicing. The number of tower segments 201 included in the tower can be two, three or more, which can be determined according to the height requirement of the tower and the height dimension of a single tower segment 201 and the like.

[0049] The orthogonal projection of the tower segment 201 in the first direction X can be a circular structure, a polygon structure or the like, and can be a polygon structure, for example, a quadrilateral structure.

[0050] The number of operation platforms 10 included in the tower installation platform 100 can be one, two or more. When the orthogonal projection of the tower segment 201 in the first direction X is a circular structure, the operation platform 10 is arranged on the side surface 201a of the tower segment 201 and around part or all of the outer periphery of the tower segment 201. When the orthogonal projection of the tower segment 201 in the first direction X is a polygon structure, the operation platform 10 can be arranged corresponding to one side surface 201a of the tower segment 201, or can be arranged corresponding to two or more side surfaces 201a.

[0051] The guide assembly 20 can include a guide rail or a guide groove or the like having a guiding function. Part of the guide assembly 20 can be fixedly connected to the tower segment 201, for example, connected and fixed to the tower segment 201 in a manner of welding or an integral structure or the like. Of course, this is an optional embodiment, and in some embodiments, the guide assembly 20 can be detachably connected to the tower segment 201, for example, detachably connected to the tower segment 201 in a manner of fasteners such as bolts, rivets or the like, or in a manner of clamping, so as to detach the guide assembly from the side surface of the tower segment after the tower segment is installed.

[0052] The guide assembly 20 can be arranged on part of the tower segments 201 to be spliced, and of course, the guide assembly 20 can be arranged on each of the tower segments 201 to be spliced.

[0053] The driving mechanism 30 can drive the operation platform 10 to move relative to the tower segment 201 in the first direction X in a manner of gear and rack or the like, and of course, the driving mechanism 30 can drive the operation platform 10 to move relative to the tower segment 201 in the first direction X in a manner of hoist mounting or the like.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, the tower installation platform 100 can include a plurality of operation platforms 10, a plurality of guide assemblies 20 and a plurality of driving mechanisms 30. Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application is provided with an operation platform 10 on the side of the tower segment 201, so as to facilitate the installation, maintenance and other operations of the tower by the workers on the operation platform 10, and the operation space is large and safe; the operation platform 10 is installed on the side of the tower segment 201 through the guide assembly 20, so as to ensure the stability of the operation platform 10 relative to the tower segment 201, and under the driving of the driving mechanism 30 and the guidance of the guide assembly 20, the operation platform 10 can move up and down along the first direction X, so as to complete the installation between the adjacent tower segments 201 at different heights, and improve the work efficiency and the operation safety.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, the tower segment 201 includes a plurality of sides 201a, each side 201a has a support column 2011 on both sides, and at least one side 201a is provided with the operation platform 10, and the operation platform 10 at least partially extends to the support column 2011.

[0056] The installed tower can be a lattice tower, and correspondingly, the tower segment 201 can be a lattice tower, the tower segment 201 includes a plurality of support columns 2011 as the main support structure and a reinforcing member 2012 connected between the support columns 2011, the support column 2011 can extend along the first direction X, and the support column 2011 and the reinforcing member 2012 enclose a cavity.

[0057] The tower segment 201 can include four sides 201a, five sides 201a or more sides 201a, and two adjacent sides 201a can share one support column 2011.

[0058] The operation platform 10 can be provided on one side 201a, and of course, the operation platform 10 can also be provided on two or more sides 201a. For example, when the tower segment 201 includes four sides 201a, the operation platform 10 can be provided on two opposite sides 201a respectively. When the tower segment 201 includes six sides 201a, the operation platform 10 can be provided on three interval sides 201a. The number of the operation platform 10 can be less than the number of the sides 201a included by the tower segment 201. Of course, the above is only an example, and in some embodiments, the operation platform 10 can also be provided on each side 201a, that is, the number of the operation platform 10 can be equal to the number of the sides 201a and be provided one by one.

[0059] The tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application is because when the two adjacent tower segments 201 are spliced, the flanges are mainly connected between the opposite support columns 2011. By arranging at least one side surface 201a with the operation platform 10, the operation platform 10 at least partially extends to the support column 2011, which is beneficial for the workers to realize the connection and fixation after the butt joint between the tower segments 201 on the operation platform 10, and ensures the butt joint requirement. Meanwhile, the above arrangement form enables each operation platform 10 to be arranged corresponding to one side surface of the tower segment 201, and does not need to be arranged around each side surface 201a of the tower segment 201, thereby reducing the weight of the operation platform 10, facilitating the movement of the operation platform 10 in the first direction X relative to the tower segment 201 driven by the driving mechanism 30, and meanwhile, the cost of the whole tower installation platform 100 can be reduced.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the tower segment 201 includes four side surfaces 201a, and at least two opposite side surfaces 201a are respectively arranged with the operation platform 10. Each operation platform 10 is correspondingly arranged with the guide assembly 20 and the driving mechanism 30.

[0061] Alternatively, the tower segment 201 can include four support columns 2011, the center connecting line of the orthographic projection of the four support columns 2011 in the first direction X can be a quadrilateral, and the reinforcing member 2012 is connected between the two adjacent support columns 2011. Each two support columns 2011 can form a side surface 201a.

[0062] The four side surfaces 201a of the tower segment 201 can be arranged in pairs, and the operation platform 10 can be arranged on each pair of opposite side surfaces 201a.

[0063] The tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application is because the tower segment 201 includes four side surfaces 201a, and at least two opposite side surfaces 201a are respectively arranged with the operation platform 10, so that each operation platform 10 can correspond to the butt joint of the two support columns 2011 on the left and right sides, and is independently guided and driven by the corresponding guide assembly 20 and the driving mechanism 30, so that the multi-person operation can be realized when the two adjacent tower segments 201 are spliced, and then the connection work after the butt joint of the four support columns 2011 is realized, and the structure of the tower installation platform 100 is simplified.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, the guide assembly 20 includes the guide rail structure 21 arranged on the side surface 201a of the tower segment 201 and the sliding structure 22 arranged on the operation platform 10, and the sliding structure 22 is movably mounted on the guide rail structure 21.

[0065] The guide rail structure 21 may include a guide rail extending along a first direction X. Correspondingly, the sliding structure 22 may include a groove structure that matches the shape of the guide rail. The groove structure may cover a portion of the guide rail structure 21 and be slidably connected to each other.

[0066] Of course, in some embodiments, the sliding structure 22 may also include a slider structure. Correspondingly, the guide rail structure 21 may include a guide groove structure that matches the shape of the slider structure. The slider structure may be partially engaged with the guide groove structure and slidably connected to each other.

[0067] The guide component 20 adopts the above-described structure, which can ensure the connection between the guide component 20 and the operating platform 10 and the tower section 201, and facilitates the fulfillment of the requirement of the guide component 20 to guide the operating platform 10 to move in the first direction X.

[0068] In some alternative embodiments, the guide rail structure 21 includes at least two guide rail segments 211, which are pre-installed on two adjacent tower segments 201, and the guide rail segments 211 on the two adjacent tower segments 201 are connected to each other.

[0069] The number of guide rail segments 211 included in the guide rail structure 21 can be equal to or less than the number of tower segments 201. Before assembling two adjacent tower segments 201, guide rail segments 211 can be installed on the two tower segments 201 to be assembled.

[0070] Optionally, guide rail sections 211 may be pre-installed on the two opposite sides 201a of each of two adjacent tower sections 201.

[0071] When two tower sections 201 are connected, their guide rail sections 211 can be aligned. When assembling the next tower section 201, the drive mechanism 30 can drive the operating platform 10 to move. The two aligned guide rail sections 211 are used to guide the operating platform 10 from the lower tower section 201 of the two already assembled tower sections 201 to the upper tower section 201, and continue to assemble the next set of two adjacent tower sections 201. By repeating this operation, the tower assembly work can be completed. The sliding structure 22 located on the operating platform 10 is used to slide and cooperate with each guide rail section 211.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the guide rail section 211 may include a columnar structure with a curved outer periphery, and the sliding structure 22 provided on the operating platform 10 has an arc-shaped groove that matches the shape of the guide rail section 211, so as to slide and cooperate with the guide section through the arc-shaped groove.

[0073] The guide rail section 211 adopts the above-mentioned structure, which can not only guide the operating platform 10 to move relative to the tower section 201 in the first direction X, but also limit the operating platform 10, restricting the operating platform 10 from separating from the tower section 201 in the direction away from the inner cavity of the tower section 201. This ensures the stability of the connection between the operating platform 10 and the guide component 20 even under conditions of high wind speed and large shaking of the operator.

[0074] Of course, the guide rail segment 211 is not limited to a columnar structure with a curved outer periphery.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide rail segment 211 can also be T-shaped, and the sliding structure 22 provided on the operating platform 10 has a T-shaped groove that matches the shape of the guide rail segment 211, so as to slide and engage with the guide rail segment 211 through the T-shaped groove.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the length of the operating platform 10 in its extension direction Y is adjustable to match the width distance between two adjacent support columns 2011.

[0077] The extension direction Y of the operating platform 10 can be understood as the arrangement direction of two adjacent support columns 2011 forming the same side 201a. Optionally, the extension direction Y of the operating platform 10 can be perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0078] The operating platform 10 can be pneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically extended to achieve adjustable length. Of course, it can also be extended or shortened by sliding mechanism to achieve adjustable length.

[0079] Because different models of wind turbine generators require different load-bearing capacities, tower heights, and other parameters, and because the cross-sectional dimensions of the same tower vary with increasing height, the tower installation platform 100 provided in one embodiment of this application, through the above-mentioned design, ensures that the operating platform 10 can adjust its extension length according to the distance between two adjacent support columns 2011. This allows the operator to adapt to the position of the support columns 2011, thus accommodating the splicing requirements of tower sections 201 of different models of wind turbine generators. Simultaneously, it can adapt to the assembly requirements of tower sections 201 at different heights of the same tower, improving the versatility of the tower installation platform 100.

[0080] In some alternative embodiments, the operating platform 10 includes a main body 11 and a moving part 12. The main body 11 is movably connected to the tower section 201, and the moving part 12 is movably connected to the main body 11. In the extension direction Y, the moving part 12 moves relative to the main body 11 to make the length dimension of the operating platform 10 adjustable.

[0081] The guide assembly 20 can be arranged on the main body part 11, and the main body part 11 is movably connected with the tower segment 201 through the guide assembly 20.

[0082] The moving part 12 can move relative to the main body part 11 in the extension direction Y, so that the size of the main body part 11 protruding in the extension direction Y is adjustable, and the length of the operation platform 10 can be adjusted.

[0083] The movable connection can include a sliding connection, and of course, a roller can be arranged at the position where the two are in contact, and a rolling fit mode is adopted, so that the friction resistance can be reduced on the basis of the movable connection.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the tower installation platform 100 is provided by arranging the operation platform 10 as the main body part 11 and the moving part 12 in a split manner, and movably connecting the moving part 12 with the main body part 11, so as to adjust the length of the operation platform 10, and match the distance between the two adjacent support columns 2011, and facilitate the butt joint of the tower segment 201.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, the main body part 11 is provided with a space 111, and one end of the moving part 12 is movably arranged in the space 111.

[0086] The main body part 11 can be provided with a space 111 at one end in the extension direction Y of the operation platform 10, and of course, the two ends can also be provided with a space 111, and the number of moving parts 12 can be determined, when the number of moving parts 12 is one, the space 111 can be arranged at one end of the main body part 11, and when the number of moving parts 12 is two, the space 111 can be arranged at both ends of the main body part 11.

[0087] Optionally, the space 111 can be recessed from the end face of the main body part 11 in the extension direction Y to the inside of the main body part 11.

[0088] Optionally, the space 111 can adopt a straight cavity.

[0089] The insertion depth of the moving part 12 in the main body part 11 can be controlled by the staff plugging, and of course, in some embodiments, a driving member such as a telescopic cylinder driving, a motor driving or the like can be arranged to drive the moving part 12 to move relative to the main body part 11, so as to adjust the insertion depth of the moving part 12 in the main body part 11, and further adjust the extension length of the operation platform 10.

[0090] It can be understood that the cooperation of the main body 11 and the moving part 12 is only an optional embodiment. In some embodiments, the main body 11 and the moving part 12 can be stacked in the first direction X.

[0091] That is, the main body 11 and the moving part 12 can be misaligned in the first direction X. The moving part 12 and the main body 11 can be connected by being distributed above and below in the first direction X and by a sliding connection assembly, so that the moving part 12 can move relative to the main body 11 in the extension direction Y, adjust the length of the moving part 12 protruding from the main body 11, and also meet the length adjustment requirement of the operation platform 10.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, the operation platform 10 further comprises a protection part 40 connected to the main body 11 and the moving part 12. The protection part 40 is provided with an operation opening 40a in the area of the moving part 12, and the operation opening 40a is arranged opposite to the support column 2011.

[0093] The protection part 40 can include guardrails, protective nets and the like. The operation platform 10 is used to provide support for workers, and the protection part 40 can be arranged at the edge of the operation platform 10 to provide blocking protection for workers. The operation opening 40a is used as a passage for workers to the side where the support column 2011 is located, and workers can enter and exit the protection part 40 through the operation opening 40a.

[0094] By arranging the protection part 40, the probability of workers or docking tools falling from the operation platform 10 can be effectively reduced, and the safety of the tower installation platform 100 can be improved. By arranging the operation opening 40a in the area of the moving part 12 of the protection part 40, it is ensured that workers can move to the fixed work platform integrated with the support column 2011 through the operation opening 40a, so as to facilitate subsequent installation operations and ensure the connection of the adjacent two tower sections 201 by the connecting piece.

[0095] In some optional embodiments, the protection part 40 comprises a first part 41 and a second part 42. The first part 41 is arranged on the main body 11, and the second part 42 is arranged on the moving part 12. At least one of the first part 41 and the second part 42 is compressible in the extension direction Y.

[0096] The first part 41 and the second part 42 can be arranged separately and connected.

[0097] Optionally, the first part 41 and the second part 42 can be realized by compressible arrangement in the form of an X-shaped rod, and of course, the compressible arrangement can also be realized by a corrugated plate structure,

[0098] One of the first part 41 and the second part 42 can be in a compressible arrangement, and the other one can be in a non-compressible structure, such as a guard plate, a guard fence, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, both the first part 41 and the second part 42 can be in a compressible structure.

[0099] The tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application can adapt to the change of the extension length of the operation platform 10 by the above arrangement, so that the guard part 40 can not only play a safety protection role on the workers and the interfacing tools, but also can adapt to the change of the extension length of the operation platform 10.

[0100] It can be understood that the compressible arrangement of at least one of the first part 41 and the second part 42 in the extension direction Y to adapt to the change of the extension length of the operation platform 10 is only an optional implementation. In some embodiments, the first part 41 and the second part 42 can also be arranged in a staggered manner in the extension direction Y. That is, the first part 41 and the second part 42 can also be arranged in a staggered manner in the extension direction Y. When the moving part 12 of the operation platform 10 moves relative to the main body part 11 to drive the second part 42 to move relative to the first part 41, the first part 41 does not interfere with the movement of the second part 42, which ensures the size change requirement of the operation platform 10 and the protection requirement of the guard part 40.

[0101] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 In some optional embodiments, the tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application further comprises at least one suspension mechanism 50, and the operation platform 10 is suspended from the side surface 201a of the tower segment 201 through the suspension mechanism 50.

[0102] The suspension mechanism 50 can be detachably connected with the tower segment 201 and has high connection strength, which can bear the weight of the operation platform 10 and the weight of the workers and the interfacing equipment supported by the operation platform 10. The suspension mechanism 50 can be selected to be pressed, clamped or clamped on the tower segment 201 by its own structure, and can be connected with the support column 2011 of the tower segment 201.

[0103] The operation platform 10 is connected with the suspension mechanism 50, for example, can be connected through a sling 52, a boom or the like, so that the operation platform 10 can be suspended below the suspension mechanism 50. The operation platform 10 can be selected to be a platform structure with a flat support surface on the top surface, and auxiliary structures such as safety rope suspension points can be arranged on the support surface to improve the safety and reliability of the operation platform 10. The operation platform 10 and the suspension mechanism 50 can be selected to be detachably connected, so as to be adjusted and installed respectively.

[0104] The operation platform 10 is suspended by the suspension mechanism 50, so that the relative position between the operation platform 10 and the tower segment 201 in the first direction X is limited, and the stability of the operation platform 10 is improved. In addition, the suspended operation platform 10 is convenient to install and adjust the position, does not need to additionally set an auxiliary support, and is convenient to connect with the support column 2011, so that the construction efficiency is improved.

[0105] In some optional embodiments, the tower installation platform 100 provided by one embodiment of the present application, the suspension mechanism 50 includes a suspension body 51 and a sling 52, the suspension body 51 is detachably installed on the tower segment 201, and the operation platform 10 is connected with the suspension body 51 through the sling 52.

[0106] The sling 52 can be made of steel wire rope or synthetic fiber and has high tensile strength, so as to bear the weight of the operation platform 10, the operating personnel and the installation equipment. The suspension body 51 is arranged on the tower segment 201 and detachably connected with the tower segment 201, and can be connected by an anchor bolt or inserted, clamped and connected, so as to bear the force in the height direction and has high bearing capacity. The suspension body 51 can be arranged close to the top end of the tower segment 201, and further can be arranged at the top flange.

[0107] Optionally, each suspension mechanism 50 can include one or more slings 52, and in the embodiment provided with multiple slings 52, the multiple slings 52 connected between the same pair of suspension mechanisms 50 and the operation platform 10 can be connected at different positions of the operation platform 10, so as to stabilize the force of the operation platform 10.

[0108] The suspension body 51 can be provided with a hook or a ring-shaped lifting lug, and the sling 52 is hung on the structure, so as to reduce the space and weight of the suspension body 51.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1 to 6 In some optional embodiments, the suspension body 51 includes a first sub-portion 511 and a second sub-portion 512, one end of the first sub-portion 511 is rotatably connected with one end of the second sub-portion 512, and the other end of the first sub-portion 511 is detachably connected with the other end of the second sub-portion 512, and the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be connected in a ring shape and surround at least part of the tower segment 201.

[0110] Optionally, the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be connected in a ring shape and surround the support column 2011 of the tower segment 201.

[0111] The suspension body 51 can be used to connect with the support column 2011 of the tower segment 201, wherein the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be rotationally connected at one end and detachably connected at the other end, so that the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be connected to form a ring and arranged around the support column 2011. The first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be half-circular and mutually engaged. At the detachable connection end, the two sub-portions can be connected by a buckle connection, a fastener connection or the like, so as to have high connection strength and be able to bear a large weight.

[0112] Optionally, at least one of the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512 can be provided with a suspension point for suspending the first sling 52.

[0113] Optionally, when the suspension body 51 is connected to the support column 2011, one of them can be arranged on the outside away from the other support column 2011, and the other is located on the inside of the tower segment 201, and the suspension point is arranged on the outside so as to facilitate connection with the sling 52.

[0114] By providing the suspension body 51 with the first sub-portion 511 and the second sub-portion 512, the suspension body 51 can conveniently form a structure that surrounds the support column 2011 and is detachably connected with the support column 2011.

[0115] When the tower installation platform includes the suspension mechanism 50, the driving mechanism 30 can drive the operation platform 10 to actively climb in the first direction X, for example, by using a gear and rack or the like, and when it moves to a predetermined position, the operation platform 10 can be stably suspended at the predetermined position by the suspension mechanism 50.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1 to 3 In some optional embodiments, when the suspension mechanism 50 is included, the driving mechanism 30 can include a driving member 31 connected to the sling 52 for winding and unwinding the sling 52 to drive the operation platform 10 to move along the guide assembly 20 towards or away from the suspension body 51.

[0117] The driving member 31 includes a winding motor, a winch or the like, which is connected to the sling 52 to adjust the position of the operation platform 10.

[0118] The driving member 31 is used to change the length of the section of the sling 52 connected between the suspension body 51 and the operation platform 10, so as to drive the operation platform 10 to ascend or descend relative to the tower segment 201 in the first direction X.

[0119] Specifically, the driving member 31 can be selected as an electric winch, a hoist or the like, and the length of the sling 52 wound thereon is changed through rotation of the driving member 31, so as to drive the operation platform 10 to move. The driving member 31 can be arranged on the suspension body 51 or the operation platform 10, and is preferably arranged on the operation platform 10 with a larger area, so as to reduce the volume and weight of the suspension body 51.

[0120] By arranging the driving member 31, the lifting of the operation platform 10 can be conveniently and stably realized by connecting and winding the sling 52, so as to change the height position of the operation platform 10, and correspond to different regions of the tower section 201, so that the operating personnel can realize the installation of different regions.

[0121] It can be understood that the driving mechanism 30 includes the driving member 31, and the driving member 31 cooperates with the suspension mechanism 50 to realize the lifting of the operation platform 10, which is an optional embodiment. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 30 can also include a gear and a rack, the rack is arranged on the tower section 201, and the gear is arranged on the operation platform 10 and engaged with the rack.

[0122] The racks can be arranged on at least two abutting tower sections 201, and the two racks are opposite in the first direction X. The rack and the tower section 201 can be connected to the tower section 201 by welding, bolts or other fasteners.

[0123] The gear can be connected with a driving motor or other power source, and the gear can be installed on the operation platform 10 by the driving motor connected thereto, and the gear is engaged with the rack. The driving motor is started to drive the gear to rotate, so that the gear can be engaged with the rack in the first direction X to drive the operation platform 10 to move in the first direction X relative to the tower section 201, so as to meet the lifting driving requirement of the operation platform 10 by the driving mechanism 30.

[0124] It should be noted that when the driving mechanism 30 adopts the above structure, it can be independently arranged and used, and of course, it can also be used in cooperation with the suspension mechanism 50. The driving mechanism 30 can include the driving member 31 or the gear and the rack. In some examples, the driving mechanism can also synchronously include the driving member 31, the gear and the rack. The driving member 31 cooperates with the suspension mechanism 50, and the gear cooperates with the rack to realize double driving redundancy. For example, after the operation platform 10 is driven to move to a suitable position relative to the tower section 201 by the driving mode of the gear cooperating with the rack with the driving motor, the sling 52 is wound to a suitable length by the driving member 31, so as to ensure that the operation platform 10 can be stably hung on the predetermined position of the tower section 201, and then the safety and stability of the workers during the abutting work of the tower section 201 is ensured.

[0125] In some alternative embodiments, the tower installation platform 100 can further comprise connecting members which can be detachably connected to the operation platform 10 and the guide assembly 20. The connecting members can comprise screws, positioning pins, etc., and connecting holes can be provided on the operation platform 10 and the guide assembly 20. When the operation platform 10 is moved to a predetermined position along the tower, the operation platform 10 can be connected and fixed to the guide assembly 20 through the connecting members, so as to release the load borne by the suspension mechanism 50 and / or the driving mechanism 30, and improve the service life of the tower installation platform 100 as a whole.

[0126] In some alternative embodiments, the number of the driving mechanisms 30 corresponding to the operation platform 10 can be multiple, and the multiple driving mechanisms 30 can jointly drive the same operation platform 10.

[0127] The number of the driving mechanisms 30 corresponding to the operation platform 10 can be two, three, etc.

[0128] When the driving mechanism 30 comprises the driving member 31, the number of the suspension mechanisms 50 can be equal to the number of the driving members 31 and be one-to-one arranged.

[0129] Alternatively, the multiple driving mechanisms 30 can be arranged at intervals in the extension direction Y of the operation platform 10.

[0130] Since the operation platform 10 has a certain span in the extension direction Y thereof, by arranging multiple driving mechanisms 30 corresponding to the operation platform 10, the multiple driving mechanisms 30 can jointly drive the same operation platform 10, so as to ensure the stability of the operation platform 10 when running in the first direction X and reduce the probability of occurrence of the moving jamming phenomenon due to bearing of the eccentric load during the movement.

[0131] The tower installation platform provided in an embodiment of the present application is used in the following specific method:

[0132] As shown in FIG. 1, a second tower section to be installed is stacked on a fixed first tower section, so that the guide assemblies 20 of the first tower section and the second tower section are oppositely arranged. Figure 1

[0133] The operation platforms 10 are arranged on the opposite two side surfaces 201a of the first tower section, and the guide assemblies 20 are arranged between each operation platform 10 and the first tower section.

[0134] The operation workers use the operation platforms 10 to perform the installation work between the first tower section and the second tower section. Specifically, the connection between the two opposite support columns 2011 of the corresponding first tower section and second tower section can be completed on one of the operation platforms 10, and the connection between the remaining two opposite support columns 2011 of the corresponding first tower section and second tower section can be completed on the other operation platform 10.

[0135] ​As shown in Figure 3 The third tower section is stacked on the second tower section, and each corresponding operation platform 10 is driven by each driving mechanism 30 to move along the guide assembly 20 to the abutting position close to the second tower section and the third tower section. Exemplarily, the operation platform 10 can be lifted and moved to the abutting position close to the second tower section and the third tower section by hanging the hanging body 51 of the hanging mechanism 50 on the third tower section, driving the winding recovery sling 52 by the driving piece 31, and driving the operation platform 10 to move along the guide assembly 20 to the direction close to the hanging body 51.

[0136] The operation worker can use the operation platform 10 to perform the installation work between the second tower section and the third tower section. The operation mode is the same as the abutting of the first tower section and the second tower section, which will not be described here. The length of the operation platform 10 can be adjusted to adapt to the abutting position of the support column 2011 when the first tower section and the second tower section are abutted and when the second tower section and the third tower section are abutted.

[0137] The above operation is repeated until the installation of each tower section is completed, and the tower installation platform is disassembled and separated.

[0138] Although the present application has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the present application, and equivalent substitutions can be made to the components thereof. In particular, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict. The present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
