Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a wind power generation tower and belongs to the field of wind power generation technology. Background Technology
[0002] Wind power is characterized by abundant resources, high power generation utilization hours, and suitability for large-scale development. In particular, offshore wind energy resources are of good quality and do not occupy land. Driven by global energy transition and the "dual carbon" goal, the market demand for wind power is strong, and the installed capacity continues to grow. Wind power will become an important pillar of global energy supply.
[0003] A wind turbine tower is the support structure for wind power generation. In existing technologies, wind turbine towers are too large, requiring segmented transport during transport and subsequent installation using cranes. This process is complex, and flange misalignment can easily lead to installation difficulties. Therefore, we propose a new wind turbine tower design. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wind power generation tower that eliminates the traditional installation process, is quick and convenient to install, and has high transportation efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a wind power generation tower, comprising a lower tower section, a middle tower section, and an upper tower section. The middle tower section is inserted into the inner cavity of the lower tower section, and the upper tower section is inserted into the inner cavity of the middle tower section. Both the middle and upper tower sections have outwardly protruding, vertically erected protrusions on their outer walls. The inner walls of the lower and middle tower sections have inwardly recessed slots. The protrusions of the middle tower section are inserted into the slots of the lower tower section. The protrusion of the upper tower section is inserted into the slot of the middle tower section. Fixed connecting components are provided at the connection between the lower tower section and the middle tower section, and at the connection between the middle tower section and the upper tower section, so that the lower tower section, the middle tower section and the upper tower section are nested together and can be extended and retracted. During installation, the upper tower section is lifted by a crane. During the lifting process, it rises and rotates step by step, so that the protrusion can play a supporting role. After fixing, it is locked by the fixed connecting components. Multiple nested middle tower sections can be set according to the height requirements.
[0006] In the aforementioned wind power generation tower, the outer side of the middle section of the tower has multiple protrusions that are evenly distributed around the middle section of the tower, and the upper section of the tower has protrusions in the same positions as the middle section of the tower.
[0007] In the aforementioned wind power generation tower, the length of the middle section of the tower is greater than the length of the corresponding protrusion. A limiting member is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the middle section of the tower, and the limiting member is located below the protrusion. A limiting slide is provided on the inner side wall of the lower section of the tower. The limiting slide is in the shape of an inverted "L". The distance from the top of the horizontal portion of the limiting slide to the top of the lower section of the tower is the same as the distance from the limiting member to the bottom of the protrusion. The limiting member is slidably installed in the limiting slide. The installation method of the upper section of the tower and the middle section of the tower is the same as that of the lower section of the tower and the middle section of the tower. The limiting member can slide in the limiting slide. During installation and lifting, the stroke positioning is achieved by sliding the limiting member in the limiting slide, ensuring the accuracy of the lifting height and rotation angle of the middle section of the tower and the upper section of the tower, while also allowing the protrusion to be accurately pulled out of the slot, rotated, and supported.
[0008] In the aforementioned wind power generation tower, the outer end of the limiting member is provided with a roller to facilitate the sliding of the limiting member and reduce sliding resistance.
[0009] The aforementioned wind power generation tower includes a fixed connection component comprising a "Z"-shaped connector. Multiple connectors are placed inside the connection between the lower and middle tower sections and fit tightly together. Both the lower and middle tower sections have pre-drilled holes. The connectors are fixed by bolts. The fixed connection component between the upper and middle tower sections is identical to the installation connection structure between the lower and middle tower sections, thus fixing and locking the lower and middle tower sections, and the upper and middle tower sections together. Simultaneously, the connectors provide a certain degree of support.
[0010] In the aforementioned wind power generation tower, the inner end of the connector is provided with a lug plate, and the connectors on the same plane are fixedly connected by the lug plate to form a reinforcing structure, which increases the stability of the fixed structure, improves the overall strength, and facilitates maintenance through the platform formed by the reinforcing structure.
[0011] In the aforementioned wind power tower, the outer surface of the protrusion is arc-shaped, and the slot corresponds to the shape of the protrusion. When the arc-shaped protrusion is exposed, it can reduce wind resistance and reduce the resistance caused by wind.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) The present invention adopts a sliding sleeve structure for the tower sections, which can be stacked together for transportation, saving the space occupied during transportation and improving the overall transportation efficiency.
[0014] (2) When installing this utility model, the initial tower section installation and positioning docking can be completed by simply lifting and rotating the crane. After that, only manual installation and fixing of the structure is required. The installation is convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.
[0015] (3) The outer surface of the protrusion of this utility model is arc-shaped. When the arc-shaped protrusion is exposed, it can reduce wind resistance and reduce the resistance caused by wind. At the same time, the use of connecting parts and reinforcing structure makes the structure of this device stable. While playing a stable supporting role, it can absorb the vibration of the unit.
