The total length of the jacket welds often exceeds 1 kilometer, and most of them are spatial irregular joints.
[0003] Currently, patent publication number CN222078820U discloses a welding seam grinding device for welded steel pipes, which relates to the field of steel pipe grinding technology and is used to solve the problem of insufficient automation in existing welding seam grinding devices for welded steel pipes. The device includes a worktable, a limiting plate, a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, a first hydraulic device, a first hydraulic cylinder, and a grinding wheel. A first motor is provided at the front of the worktable, and the output end of the first motor is connected to a first rotating shaft. A turntable is fixedly connected to the front end of the first rotating shaft. A placement groove is opened at the front of the turntable for placing one end of the welded steel pipe.
[0004] However, existing technologies have some problems: due to the long weld seams of wind turbine jackets, raising the angle grinder to grind the weld seams throughout the process will cause excessive fatigue to the arm and affect the efficiency of the grinding work. Therefore, we propose a weld seam grinding device for offshore wind turbine jackets. Utility Model Content
[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technology solution for a welding point grinding device for welding seams of offshore wind turbine jackets.

[0028] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model solves the problem that excessive arm fatigue and reduced efficiency in grinding work caused by constantly raising the angle grinder to grind the weld joints of wind turbine jacket structures due to the excessive length of the weld joints. The device utilizes the cooperation of an angle grinder 41, a grinding rod 42, grinding balls 43, a lateral adjustment component 1, an angle adjustment component 2, and a support height adjustment component 3. This offshore wind turbine jacket structure weld joint grinding device includes an angle grinder 41, and further includes: an adjustable lateral adjustment component 1 fixedly mounted on the angle grinder 41, an angle adjustment component 2 mounted on the lateral adjustment component 1, an adjustable support height adjustment component 3 fixedly mounted on the angle adjustment component 2, and a grinding rod 42 that can be extended or shortened on the support height adjustment component 3. The grinding rod 42 has grinding balls 43 at both ends. The angle grinder 41, the horizontal adjustment component 1, the angle adjustment component 2, the support height adjustment component 3 and the grinding rod 42 work together to effectively support the angle grinder 41, relieve arm pain and fatigue caused by lifting the angle grinder 41, and improve the efficiency of grinding work.
[0029] The lateral adjustment assembly 1 includes multiple first threaded holes 11 on both sides of the angle grinder 41 and a clamp 12 fitted onto the angle grinder 41. The angle grinder 41 and the clamp 12 are fixedly connected by multiple first bolts 13. The bottom of the clamp 12 has a connecting block 14, through which the first bolts 13 move and are threaded into the first threaded holes 11. The connecting block 14 facilitates the connection between the clamp 12 and the U-shaped seat 21. The multiple first threaded holes 11 on both sides of the angle grinder 41 are fixedly connected to the clamp 12 by the first bolts 13, enabling precise adjustment of the lateral position. This design allows the clamp 12 to slide along the axial direction of the angle grinder 41, adapting to different welding point positions and avoiding operational inconvenience caused by fixed support points. The U-shaped structure of the clamp 12 wraps around the body of the angle grinder 41, dispersing the clamping force and preventing local stress concentration that could lead to deformation of the machine body. The modular design of the first threaded holes 11 and the clamp 12: The multiple first threaded holes 11 on both sides of the angle grinder 41 are equidistantly distributed. The U-shaped structure of clamp 12, combined with an embedded high-elasticity rubber pad, disperses the clamping force while preventing deformation of the angle grinder 41 body. The coordinated control of the lateral adjustment component 1 (positioning), the angle adjustment component 2 (orientation), and the height adjustment component 3 (pressure regulation) forms a closed-loop adaptive support network. A laser emitter is installed on the side of clamp 12 to project a cross-shaped light spot to assist in aligning the grinding path.
[0030] The angle adjustment assembly 2 includes a U-shaped seat 21 fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting block 14, a round rod 24 rotatably mounted at the center of both sides of the U-shaped seat 21, and multiple through holes 22 distributed circumferentially on both sides of the U-shaped seat 21, through which a second bolt 25 moves. Bearings 23 are located at the center of both sides of the U-shaped seat 21, and the round rod 24 passes through the bearings 23 and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearings 23. The bearings 23 facilitate the rotation of the round rod 24. The abrasive ball 43 facilitates the elevation of the abrasive rod 42, providing support on uneven surfaces. The connecting block 14 at the bottom of the clamp 12 serves as the connecting component between the lateral adjustment assembly 1 and the angle adjustment assembly 2. Its rigid connection design ensures a continuous force transmission path, reducing the impact of vibration on grinding accuracy. The abrasive rod 42 can be supported on a wind turbine duct frame for easy operation. A detachable cast iron counterweight is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 21, fixed by a slot, to counteract the centrifugal vibration of the angle grinder 41 during operation, improving grinding stability. The composite material grinding ball 43 uses a tungsten carbide matrix encased in a 3mm thick silicone layer. The tungsten carbide provides high wear resistance, while the silicone layer absorbs the impact caused by uneven weld surfaces, preventing slippage during grinding. The U-shaped structure of the clamp 12, combined with an embedded high-elasticity rubber pad, disperses the clamping force while preventing deformation of the angle grinder 41 body, making it particularly suitable for grinding high-strength steel materials such as S355NLH commonly used in offshore wind turbine jackets.
[0031] The height adjustment assembly 3 includes a rotating tube 31 fixedly mounted on two round rods 24, a height adjustment rod 32 movably passing through the rotating tube 31, multiple second threaded holes 33 formed on the height adjustment rod 32, and multiple third bolts 34 movably passing through the rotating tube 31. The third bolts 34 are threaded into the second threaded holes 33, and the second bolts 25 are threaded through the rotating tube 31. The heads of the third bolts 34 have second extension handles 35 on both sides, and the heads of the second bolts 25 have first extension handles 26 on both sides. The clamp 12, first bolt 13, and first threaded hole 11 provide lateral adjustment for the angle grinder 41, facilitating better support. The through hole 22, U-shaped seat 21, second bolt 25, round rod 24, and rotating tube 31 work together to adjust the support angle, allowing the rotating tube 31 to rotate on the U-shaped seat 21 and then be fixed. The rotating tube 31, height adjustment rod 32, second threaded hole 33, and third bolt 34 work together to adjust the support height of the grinding rod 42, thus finding a better support height. The first extension handle 26 facilitates rotation of the second bolt 25, and the second extension handle 35 facilitates rotation of the third bolt 34. The height adjustment rod 32 is height-locked through the engagement of the third bolt 34 and the second threaded hole 33. The rotating tube 31 is bidirectionally reinforced with a polytetrafluoroethylene bushing on its inner wall to reduce the sliding resistance of the height adjustment rod 32, and reinforced ribs are welded to its outer wall. The hard chrome-plated height adjustment rod 32, with its 25mm spacing design in conjunction with the second threaded hole 33, enables fine-tuning. The nylon insert anti-loosening structure of the third bolt 34 remains locked under vibration, solving the problem of traditional screw-type regulators easily loosening in rough seas. These innovations, through modular design, material optimization, and intelligent expansion, significantly improve grinding precision and efficiency, and their technical approach aligns perfectly with the offshore wind power industry's trend towards automation and high precision.
