TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of wind power tower drums, in particular to a tower drum flange anti-deformation supporting structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The flange is a very important component in the wind power tower drum, and the flange connection is to fix two adjacent ends of the tower drums on a flange plate respectively, and then connect the two flange plates by bolts to make them tightly combined. Since the flange connection has the advantages of stable connection, convenient use, strong sealing and the ability to withstand large pressure, it is widely used in industrial manufacturing and plays an irreplaceable role.

[0003] Since the tower drum has a large volume and weight, the flanges welded at the two ends of the tower drum may be deformed during storage and transportation, which affects the use, causes economic losses and has certain safety hazards. The existing two-character and three-character flange anti-deformation supporting tools can prevent the flange from deforming to a certain extent during transportation, but they are not very versatile, have high manufacturing costs and poor safety, and when supporting the flanges of tower drums of different sizes, customized supporting tools are needed, which increases the workload and manufacturing costs. Therefore, further improvement is needed. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
