The base plate 4 is in the shape of an inverted "U". Two support plates 5 are located on the left and right sides of the stiffening plates 6. There are several stiffening plates 6, which are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. A placement plate 7 is fixedly connected between two adjacent stiffening plates 6 near the support plate 5. There are several wedges 8. The lower outer surface of the panel 9 is welded to the upper surface of the stiffening plate 6. The outer side of the guide block 11 is located inside the corresponding guide rail 16. The outer side of the ball bearing 12 is in rolling connection with the inner side of the guide rail 16. The connecting frame 13 is located on the front and rear sides of the corresponding guide block 11. The upper outer side of the scraper 15 is in sliding connection with the lower inner side of the connecting frame 13. The lower end of the scraper 15 is in contact with the bottom of the guide rail 16. The inner sides of the left and right ends of the base 1 are equipped with internal threaded sleeves 2 for easy installation of internal threaded sleeves 2, bolts 3, guide blocks 11, ball bearings 12, connecting frames 13, compression springs 14, scrapers 15, guide rails 16, and limiting coatings 17. The base plate 4, support plate 5, stiffening plate 6, panel 9, and rubber pad 10 constitute a horizontal shipping device. The horizontal shipping device can adapt to different types of tower sections. Its position can be adjusted as needed to accommodate tower sections of varying lengths. Additional horizontal shipping devices can be added based on the weight of the tower section, effectively improving the overall practicality and versatility of the device. This also reduces the need for customized devices due to different tower section specifications, thus lowering operating costs. The inner threaded sleeve 2 has a detachable threaded connection to a bolt 3. A base plate 4 is located on the outer side of the upper end of the base 1. Support plates 5 are welded to the left and right sides of the upper end of the base plate 4. A stiffening plate 6 is welded to the middle of the upper end of the base plate 4. The support plates 5 and adjacent... A placement plate 7 is welded between the stiffening plates 6. A wedge 8 is placed on the upper end of the placement plate 7. A panel 9 is welded to the upper end of the support plate 5. A rubber pad 10 is pasted on the inner side of the upper end of the panel 9. Guide blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower inner side of the base plate 4. A ball bearing 12 is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the guide block 11. A connecting frame 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lower end of the base plate 4 and at both ends of the guide block 11.

Guide rails 16 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the base 1. Limiting coatings 17 are provided on both the left and right ends of the base 1.

[0025] Workflow: When in use, the base 1 is welded to a suitable clamp on the ship. The base plate 4, support plate 5, stiffening plate 6, panel 9, and rubber pad 10 constitute a horizontal shipping device. When the tower section is long, the bolt 3 is turned outward to disengage from the internal thread sleeve 2. Then the position of the horizontal shipping device can be adjusted. The distance between the two horizontal shipping devices can be adjusted as needed. The base plate 4 is moved, and the base plate 4 drives the guide block 11, ball bearings 12, and connecting frame 13 to move along the inner side of the guide rail 16. At this time, the compression spring 14 provides a counterforce to make the scraper 1 5. The lower end remains in contact with the bottom of the guide rail 16. During the movement of the base plate 4, the scraper 15 removes dust from the inside of the guide rail 16, making the ball bearings 12 roll more smoothly along the inner side of the guide rail 16. This makes it easier to adjust the position of the horizontal shipping device. Additionally, when the tower section is heavy, a second horizontal shipping device can be added between the two horizontal shipping devices to support heavier tower sections for shipping. After the horizontal shipping device is adjusted, the base plate 4 is positioned between the two limiting coatings 17, allowing the bolts 3 to pass through the base plate 4 for adjustment. The internal threaded sleeve 2 is used to rotate the bolt 3 inward, so that the bolt 3 and the internal threaded sleeve 2 cooperate to fix the position of the base plate 4, thereby fixing the entire horizontal shipping device. After fixing, the cotton quilt is laid on the panel 9, and then the tower section is placed on the horizontal shipping device. The cotton quilt and rubber pad 10 reduce the direct contact between the tower section and the panel 9, protecting the outer surface of the tower section. Lifting lugs are welded to the flanges at both ends of the tower section, and steel wire ropes are pulled up from the lifting lugs and fixed to the ground on the deck. After the fixing is completed, the wedges 8 placed on the placement plate 7 are used to secure the gaps between the tower section and the cotton quilt. The locking and fixing mechanism makes the tower sections more stable and safer during shipment. Compared with traditional methods, this horizontal shipping device simplifies the operation process, reduces operational difficulty, and improves work efficiency. This device can adapt to different types of tower sections. The position of the horizontal shipping device can be adjusted as needed to accommodate tower sections of different lengths and sizes. The number of horizontal shipping devices can also be increased appropriately according to the weight of the tower sections, effectively improving the overall practicality of the horizontal shipping device, enhancing its versatility and compatibility, and reducing the need for customized devices due to different tower section specifications, thus lowering operating costs.
