[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Embodiment 1 of this application discloses a tower erection support. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a rectangular frame 1, first legs 2, and support plates 3. Four first legs 2 are provided, located at the vertices of the rectangular frame 1, with their upper ends fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rectangular frame 1 to support it. Four support plates 3 are provided, distributed at the vertices of the rectangular frame 1, and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular frame 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper surface of the support plate 3 is provided with a waist-shaped groove 31. Each support plate 3 is provided with two waist-shaped grooves 31. The centers of the waist-shaped grooves 31 on the four support plates 3 are concentric. The waist-shaped grooves 31 are connected to the flange bolt holes on the tower by bolts.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A support frame 11 is provided in the middle of the rectangular frame 1. The support frame 11 is cross-shaped and fixed to the inner side of the rectangular frame 1. Second legs 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular frame 1, and the upper end of the second legs 12 is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 1.

[0033] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: the tower can be placed vertically on several support plates 3, and then the tower is fixed to the support plates 3 by bolts, thereby initially fixing the tower so that when it needs to be hoisted after transportation, it is not necessary to flip the tower.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support plate 3 is detachably installed on the rectangular frame 1 by bolts. Since the flange bolt hole positions are different for towers of different diameters, the support plate 3 can be replaced to adapt to different towers.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support plate 3 is provided with a first mounting bracket 32, which slides and is connected to the support plate 3 along the direction close to the rectangular frame 1. The support plate 3 is provided with a drive assembly 5 for driving the first mounting bracket 32 ​​to move.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive assembly 5 includes a second mounting bracket 51 and a transmission screw 52. The second mounting bracket 51 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support plate 3. The length direction of the second mounting bracket 51 is vertically arranged. The transmission screw 52 is threaded through the second mounting bracket 51. One end of the transmission screw 52 is rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 32.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first mounting frame 32 is provided with a limiting plate 41. The side of the limiting plate 41 near the center of the rectangular frame 1 is a limiting surface that is adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the tower. The side of the limiting plate 41 away from the limiting surface is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 4. The first mounting frame 32 is provided with a first sliding groove 321 in the vertical direction. The connecting frame 4 slides and is connected to the first sliding groove 321 in the vertical direction. The first mounting frame 32 is provided with a limiting component 6 for limiting the connecting frame 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The limiting component 6 includes an insertion rod 61 and a spring 62. The connecting frame 4 has several limiting holes 42 on its side, distributed vertically. The insertion rod 61 is slidably connected to the first mounting frame 32 and can be engaged in the limiting holes 42. The spring 62 is coaxially sleeved on the insertion rod 61, with one end fixedly connected to the connecting frame 4 and the other end fixedly connected to the insertion rod 61.

[0040] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: by rotating the transmission screw 52, ​​the first mounting frame 32 is moved, so that the limiting plate 41 on the first mounting frame 32 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the tower to limit the tower.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
