Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine support technology, and specifically discloses a high-strength wind turbine support. Background Technology

[0002] Wind turbine support structures are an important component of wind power systems, primarily serving to support and secure the various parts of the wind turbine. They typically consist of a tower, rotor support, and other parts. The tower, the supporting structure of the wind turbine, is mainly made of steel or concrete, providing the necessary support height and stability. The tower also contains auxiliary facilities such as cables and platforms.

[0003] Traditional wind turbine towers are prone to low-frequency vortex-induced vibrations under strong winds, have insufficient resistance to crosswinds, severe stress concentration at the flange connections between tower sections, making them prone to breakage, and have weak foundation uplift resistance. Therefore, a high-strength wind turbine support is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a high-strength wind turbine support, which can stabilize the tower and achieve the effect of resisting uplift; and compared with the traditional circular tower, it can improve the resistance to wind vortex-induced vibration and improve wind resistance performance, converting lateral wind load into axial tensile and compressive stress, and extending the service life of the tower.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a high-strength wind turbine support includes a tower body, which is composed of multiple tower sections coaxially connected, with a stepped connecting sleeve structure between adjacent tower sections, and a stabilizing structure at the bottom of the tower body.

[0006] The stabilizing structure includes a base flange fixedly connected to the bottom of the tower body, and multiple anchor rods welded to the bottom of the base flange and extending obliquely downward in a circumferential radial pattern. The outer wall of the anchor rods is fixedly connected with conical teeth.

[0007] The tower body is welded from 12 arc-shaped steel plates into a regular dodecagonal cylindrical body, and the interior of the tower body is provided with X-shaped inner ribs;

[0008] The stepped connecting sleeve structure includes an upper flange and a lower flange respectively disposed on opposite sides of adjacent tower sections, and a double-bevel transition ring is provided between the upper flange and the lower flange.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the high-strength wind turbine support of this utility model, the bottom end of the upper flange has a 30° slope, and the lower flange has a 30° chamfer.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the high-strength wind turbine support of this utility model, a weight-reducing hole is provided at the intersection of the inner ribs.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the high-strength wind turbine support of this utility model, threaded holes are provided through the edges of the upper flange, the lower flange, and the transition ring.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the high-strength wind turbine support of this utility model, the bottom end of the anchor rod is pointed.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By using anchor rods that are set at an angle downwards and cooperating with conical teeth, a spatial truss effect can be formed in the concrete to achieve the effect of resisting uplift, thus stabilizing the tower body and achieving wind resistance.

[0015] 2. The dodecagonal cylindrical body is formed by welding arc-shaped steel plates. The dodecagonal edges disrupt the airflow, causing the airflow to move away from the natural frequency of the tower. Compared with the traditional circular tower, it improves the ability to resist wind vortex-induced vibration and improves wind resistance. The inner ribs can convert lateral wind loads into axial tensile and compressive stresses, blocking the propagation of buckling waves in the outer shell.

[0016] 3. The stepped connection sleeve structure can disperse the stress at the tower section connection and extend the service life of the tower. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The dodecagonal cylindrical body is formed by welding 12 arc-shaped steel plates. The dodecagonal edges disrupt the airflow, causing the airflow to move away from the natural frequency of the tower.

[0035] In this embodiment: by opening threaded holes, the upper flange 301, the lower flange 303, and the transition ring 302 can be connected and fixed by bolts to prevent misalignment between the rings.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom end of the anchor rod 201 is sharp.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the anchor rod 201 is pointed to facilitate the rapid entry of the tower body 1 into the concrete, thereby increasing the density of the concrete.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: By using the anchor rod 201 and the conical tooth 202 set at an inclined downward, a spatial truss effect can be formed in the concrete to achieve the effect of resisting pull-out, thereby stabilizing the tower body 1 and achieving wind resistance.

[0039] The dodecagonal cylindrical body is formed by welding 12 arc-shaped steel plates. The dodecagonal edges disrupt the airflow, causing the airflow to move away from the natural frequency of the tower. Compared with the traditional circular tower, it improves the ability to resist wind vortex-induced vibration and improves wind resistance. The inner rib plate 4 can convert the lateral wind load into axial tensile and compressive stress, blocking the propagation of buckling waves in the outer shell.

[0040] The stepped connecting sleeve structure can disperse the stress at the tower section connection and extend the service life of the tower body 1.
