TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to wind power support tower technical field, especially a prefabricated assembly type concrete tower cylinder quick assembly structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the national attention to new energy industry, wind power technology enters a new development stage: the generator unit single machine power is bigger and bigger, the blade is longer and longer, the tower is higher and higher, and the tower technology as the wind power support structure also faces huge challenges. At present, the structure form of high tower is mainly steel tower and steel-concrete tower. Compared with steel structure tower, steel-concrete tower has big rigidity, good stability, high bearing capacity, good fatigue resistance, and adopts integral assembly technology, builds quickly, and its economy is better than that of steel tower, so that more than 180 meters super high tower basically adopts steel-concrete tower, therefore, the innovation of assembly type tower technology has become the first power of the industry.
[0003] The lower part of the assembly type steel-concrete hybrid tower is a prefabricated assembly type concrete tower cylinder, and the upper part is a steel tower cylinder, the steel tower cylinder and the concrete tower cylinder are connected as a whole by uniformly arranged post-tensioned prestressed steel strands, and work together to bear the load of the top wind turbine. The concrete tower cylinder is generally prefabricated at the base and transported to the wind turbine point, and assembled on site, and the assembly connection nodes mainly include horizontal joint nodes and vertical joint nodes. The horizontal joint between the vertical adjacent tower cylinders is connected by seat mortar, and the vertical joint between the adjacent cylinder pieces in the circumferential direction is connected by dry bolts, and epoxy resin structural adhesive is applied at the vertical joint. It can be seen that the assembly technology of the prefabricated cylinder piece assembly node of the tower cylinder is the key factor affecting the construction speed of the tower cylinder.
[0004] The vertical joint of the concrete tower cylinder adopts bolt connection, but the current common assembly method needs to embed the installation hand hole box for local hole cutting of the section when prefabricating the cylinder piece. In actual engineering, the wall thickness of the tower cylinder is relatively thin, generally about 300-400mm, and the installation of the hand hole box and the hole cutting of the section weaken the section of the tower cylinder component to a certain extent, which has a certain influence on the bearing capacity. Moreover, when embedding the hand hole installation box and the screw hole embedded part, the positioning and installation of the embedded part and the screw hole are not convenient due to the special-shaped components. When pouring concrete at the position of the hand hole installation box and the embedded part, it is difficult to vibrate due to the existence of the special-shaped components, which leads to the difficulty in controlling the quality of the concrete pouring. When the bolt connection is carried out, the bolt hole is difficult to align. When the pre-tightening force of the bolt is applied, if the final torque value is not properly controlled, the concrete tower may crack or be crushed.
[0005] The horizontal joint between the upper and lower tower sections of the concrete tower drum is connected by using the grouting construction technology, and the grouting material mainly includes cement-based grouting material and adhesive material such as epoxy resin adhesive. Although the grouting material of the horizontal joint can play a role in bonding and sealing, the grouting material is not uniformly and fully applied, and the horizontal joint is often not dense due to the cavity, which causes unreasonable stress of the concrete tower section, stress concentration, and influence on the bearing capacity of the structure. The construction process and quality have a great influence on the service life of the tower. In addition, the grouting material is greatly affected by the environmental temperature, and cannot be normally constructed under low temperature conditions. Practical new type content

[0029] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this prefabricated assembled concrete tower structure is used to connect horizontally adjacent concrete tower sections 1 or vertically adjacent concrete tower sections 1. The concrete tower sections 1 are prefabricated reinforced concrete sections. The prefabricated assembled concrete tower structure includes embedded reinforcing bars 3, connecting plates 4, and nuts 6. Sealant is used to fill the joints between adjacent concrete tower sections 1. The embedded reinforcing bars 3 are embedded in the concrete tower sections 1 on both sides of the joint, and the embedded reinforcing bars 3 run along the concrete tower section. The thickness direction of the plate 1 is set; the embedded bars 3 on both sides of the splice joint are set horizontally; the inner end of the embedded bar 3 extends beyond the inner side of the concrete tower plate 1, and the embedded bar 3 is provided with threads at the part that extends beyond the inner surface of the concrete tower plate 1; the connecting plate 4 is installed on the inner end of the corresponding embedded bar 3 on both sides of the splice joint, and a damping pad 5 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 4 near the inner side of the concrete tower plate 1; the nut 6 is screwed on the embedded bar 3, pressing the connecting plate 4 onto the inner side of the concrete tower plate 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the embedded steel bars 3 are arranged along the vertical and horizontal directions, and the embedded steel bars 3 are embedded in the concrete tower piece 1 as anchoring segments to ensure the effective transmission of internal forces between the concrete tower piece 1 and the connecting piece.
[0031] In this embodiment, the embedded steel bars 3 can penetrate the tower piece, and are arranged on both sides of the tower piece. The single side or both sides of the connecting plate 4 and the embedded steel bars 3 are arranged according to the external load to determine the final scheme.
[0032] In one embodiment, the outer end of the embedded steel bar 3 is located in the concrete tower piece 1, and a anti-loosening end head is arranged at the outer end of the embedded steel bar 3. The length of the embedded steel bar 3 in the concrete tower piece is not less than the designed anchoring length. Of course, other anchoring methods can also be used in other embodiments.
[0033] In another embodiment, the outer end of the embedded steel bar 3 is located outside the outer side surface of the concrete tower piece 1, and a thread is arranged on the part of the embedded steel bar 3 that is outside the outer surface of the concrete tower piece 1. The connecting plate 4 is arranged on the corresponding outer end of the embedded steel bar 3 on both sides of the joint. The connecting plate 4 is provided with a through hole penetrating the embedded steel bar 3 on both the connecting plate 4 arranged on the outer end of the embedded steel bar 3 and the connecting plate 4 arranged on the inner end of the embedded steel bar 3.

The nut 6 is arranged on the side of the connecting plate 4 away from the outer surface of the concrete tower piece 1, and the connecting plate 4 is pressed on the concrete tower piece 1 through the nut 6.
[0034] In this embodiment, the damping pad 5 is bonded to the connecting plate 4, and the connecting plate 4 spans the adjacent concrete tower piece 1 to connect the two concrete tower pieces 1 into a force-bearing whole. The damping pad 5 is made of rubber, polystyrene, polyurethane or asphalt. The damping pad 5 is arranged between the concrete tower piece 1 and the connecting plate 4 to avoid damage caused by vibration due to the good elasticity and deformation capacity of the damping pad 5, and to play a role of shock absorption and buffering. In addition, the connecting segment of the concrete tower piece 1 and the connecting plate 4 is a circular arc segment, and the damping pad can reduce the friction and wear between the concrete tower piece 1 and the connecting plate 4, so that the connecting piece works better and the fatigue damage is reduced.

[0037] In this embodiment, the horizontal splice joint of the concrete tower section 1 is constructed using the following method: Figures 2-3 The connection method shown has the same main connecting components and vertical joint nodes. The key points for implementing the horizontal splice joint connection method are as follows: When precasting the concrete tower segment 1, while installing the formwork and binding the vertical and circumferential reinforcing bars of the precast concrete tower segment 1, the embedded reinforcing bars 3 are placed at the corresponding positions, with the threaded ends exposed. They are then poured together with the concrete, and the precast concrete tower segment 1 is transported to the site for assembly. During assembly, epoxy resin adhesive is first applied to the four sides of the precast concrete tower segment 1. After the upper and lower precast segments are vertically aligned and leveled, the pre-drilled damping pads 5 and connecting plates 4 are installed on the embedded reinforcing bars 3. Finally, the washers 2 and nuts 6 are installed to complete the splicing of the horizontal splice joint node.
