Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine tower casting structure technology, specifically to a steel cage structure for casting the bottom platform of a wind turbine tower. Background Technology
[0002] When constructing wind turbine towers using an enlarged slab foundation structure, after pouring the base portion below the reference plane, a foundation structure located above the base also needs to be poured. Since electrical equipment to be installed inside the wind turbine tower needs to be placed on the foundation, sufficient space must be reserved for installation on the poured foundation. Because the foundation is also a reinforced concrete structure, a reinforcing cage needs to be laid in advance before pouring. Currently, most foundation reinforcing cages are tied on-site and then hoisted to the base for installation and fixation using cranes. However, workers have found that due to the presence of empty areas, the force applied to the surrounding cage structure by each lifting point is uneven during hoisting, making the reinforcing cage prone to deformation. This is the main problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0012] Two horizontal lifting lugs are provided on the first horizontal cage frame, one of which is located at the intersection of the first horizontal cage frame and the third horizontal cage frame;
[0013] Longitudinal lifting lugs are provided at the locations where the second horizontal cage intersects with the second and fifth vertical cages.
[0014] Preferably, the first and second horizontal cage frames are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the outer cage frame; the third horizontal cage frame is located in the lower middle part of the outer cage frame.
[0015] Preferably, the corresponding centerlines on the second and fifth longitudinal cages are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the outer cage.

[0018] Preferably, the first, second, and third horizontal cages each have six reinforcing bars on their cross-sections; the fourth horizontal cage, the outer cage, and all the longitudinal cages each have four reinforcing bars on their cross-sections.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:
