[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cylindrical foundation structure for onshore mixed-use towers of this utility model includes a cylindrical skirt 1, a sealing plate at the top of the cylindrical skirt 1, a conical transition cylinder 2 at the top of the cylindrical skirt 1, and an annular connecting platform 3 at the top of the conical transition cylinder 2, forming a casting cavity between the conical transition cylinder 2 and the sealing plate; it also includes a flange connection mechanism that cooperates with the annular connecting platform 3, and the flange connection mechanism connects to the tower cylinder 9. The cylindrical foundation structure for onshore mixed-use towers of this utility model, through the cooperation of the cylindrical skirt 1, sealing plate, conical transition cylinder 2, annular connecting platform 3, casting cavity, flange connection mechanism, and tower cylinder 9, allows the cylindrical skirt 1 to be embedded in the foundation during use, and the tower cylinder 9 to be connected to the flange connection mechanism, which extends into the casting cavity for casting and fixation. Compared with the existing technology using prestressed anchor bolts and foundation ring structures, it has advantages such as simple structure, stable connection, and low cost. The cylindrical skirt 1 has good integrity between the soil inside and outside and the foundation, providing the foundation with greater bearing capacity and better bending resistance.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the flange connection mechanism includes a flange connecting cylinder 8 extending into the casting cavity, with a flange connecting plate 4 positioned above the annular connecting platform 3 at the top of the flange connecting cylinder 8. The flange connecting plate 4 has a connecting through hole 6 and a backflow hole 5. Vertical reinforcing bars 10, adapted to the connecting through hole 6 and extending into the casting cavity, are provided on the tower cylinder 9. The flange connecting cylinder 8 is embedded within the casting cavity, and the prestressing tendons 10 of the tower cylinder 9 are anchored inside the casting cavity (foundation) through the connecting through hole 6, facilitating foundation construction. The use of a cylindrical skirt plate cavity design and flange connection method reduces the amount of foundation work and avoids the use of anchor bolt cages and foundation ring structures. The cylindrical skirt plate 1, as a foundation, does not require piling, making construction convenient and economically efficient.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple connecting holes 6, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the flange connecting plate 4. With this design, the prestressing tendons 10 arranged along the circumference of the tower 9 correspond to one connecting hole 6 and are inserted into the casting cavity. After the grout is poured, the excess grout flows out from the backflow hole 5, ensuring the compactness and integrity of the foundation and improving its mechanical strength.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of alignment columns 7 are provided on the flange connection plate 4, and these alignment columns 7 mate with the inner wall of the tower 9. This design allows for quick and convenient positioning during the installation of the tower 9, improving construction efficiency. More preferably, the alignment columns are cylindrical.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the cylindrical skirt 1 is made of steel or concrete. When using a concrete structure, the cylindrical skirt 1 has 2-3 rings of circumferential reinforcing bars inside, providing good bending resistance.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the angle between the conical transition cylinder 2 and the horizontal plane is 30° to 50°, and the concrete structure after pouring has good stability, which can improve the overturning resistance of the entire tower cylinder 9.
[0032] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this example is for a 140m mixed tower foundation with a bottom diameter of 6.6m. The cylindrical skirt 1 is 10m high and 15m in diameter, providing a large load-bearing capacity for the foundation. The cylindrical skirt 1 can be made of steel or concrete. When made of concrete, the cylindrical skirt 1 is reinforced with 2-3 rings of circumferential steel bars, which provides good bending resistance.
[0033] The sealing plate is a 0.8m thick concrete circular plate structure, and the conical transition cylinder 2 is a hollow concrete structure. Preferably, the conical transition cylinder 2 is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with a bottom diameter of 15m, a top diameter of 8.2m, and a height of 2.5m. The interior of the conical transition cylinder 2 is a cast-in-place cavity, which provides convenient construction conditions for the tensioning of the embedded parts (prestressed tendons 10 of the tower cylinder 9).
[0034] The flange connecting plate 4 has a width of 800mm to 1200mm and a thickness of 60mm to 150mm. It is made of steel. The flange connecting cylinder 8 is located at the center of the flange connecting plate 4 and has a height of 0.2m to 2m. Preferably, the flange connecting plate 4 is provided with 192 connecting through holes 6 with a diameter of 51mm, 192 anti-slurry holes 5, and multiple alignment columns 7.
[0035] Preferably, the flange connecting cylinder 8 is embedded in the casting cavity, and the prestressed tendons 10 of the tower cylinder 9 are anchored in the casting cavity of the conical transition cylinder 2 through the connecting through hole 6, providing convenient construction conditions for the connection between the foundation and the tower cylinder 9; the setting of the back grout hole 7 allows excess grout to overflow, ensuring the compactness of the concrete; the setting of the alignment column 7 enables convenient and quick alignment, improving the accuracy and efficiency of construction.
[0036] Onshore cylindrical foundations have strong bearing capacity and bending resistance, eliminating the need for piling equipment and making construction convenient. The hollow cavity design inside the cylinder and the flange connection method reduce the amount of foundation work, avoiding the use of anchor cages and foundation ring structures, making construction convenient and economically efficient.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not 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.
