[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown: This utility model includes an internal tower lifting chamber 2, a hoisting elevator, a shock-absorbing component, and a shock-absorbing sliding component. The hoisting elevator is installed at the top of the wind turbine tower 1. The hoisting cable of the hoisting elevator is connected to the internal tower lifting chamber 2. Multiple sets of the shock-absorbing component and the shock-absorbing sliding component are installed between the internal tower lifting chamber 2 and the inner wall of the wind turbine tower 1.

The optical axis fixing seat 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the lifting chamber 2 inside the tower. One end of the telescopic shock absorber optical axis 5 is fixedly connected to the optical axis fixing seat 4. The telescopic shock absorption sleeve 8 is sleeved on the other end of the telescopic shock absorber optical axis 5 and is slidably connected to the telescopic shock absorber optical axis 5. The telescopic shock absorption spring 6 is disposed between the optical axis fixing seat 4 and the telescopic shock absorption sleeve 8. The other end of the telescopic shock absorption sleeve 8 is connected to the shock absorption sliding assembly.

[0023] The tower internal lifting chamber 2 is equipped with a sleeve sliding bracket 7, which is slidably connected to the telescopic shock-absorbing sleeve 8.

[0024] The shock-absorbing sliding assembly includes a first sliding wheel link 9, a second sliding wheel link 10, a link shock-absorbing tension spring 11, and a movable roller 12. One end of the first sliding wheel link 9 and one end of the second sliding wheel link 10 are rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic shock-absorbing sleeve 8. The other end of the first sliding wheel link 9 and the second sliding wheel link 10 are each provided with a movable roller 12. The movable roller 12 is rotatably connected to the first sliding wheel link 9 and the second sliding wheel link 10. The link shock-absorbing tension spring 11 is provided between the middle sections of the first sliding wheel link 9 and the second sliding wheel link 10.

[0025] Preferably, the shock-absorbing component and the shock-absorbing sliding component constitute a set of shock-absorbing sliding devices.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] The hoisting machine of this utility model is not shown in the figure. The hoisting machine is existing technology, such as winch hoists and elevator hoists. It is installed on the top of the wind turbine tower 1. The hoisting line is connected to the hoisting lug 3 of the hoisting cabin to lift the hoisting cabin 2 inside the wind turbine tower 1. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the hoisting cabin 2 inside the tower, the moving rollers 12 are installed on the hoisting cabin 2 to slide on the inner wall of the wind turbine tower 1. A connecting rod damping tension spring 11 is set between the first sliding wheel connecting rod 9 and the second sliding wheel connecting rod 10. The first vibration damping is formed between the moving roller 12 and the lifting chamber 2 inside the tower. The design of the first sliding wheel connecting rod 9 and the second sliding wheel connecting rod 10 increases the contact area and provides triangular stability, thus improving the stability effect. In addition, the connecting rod damping tension spring 11 also plays a role in damping. Secondly, the telescopic damping sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the telescopic damper optical shaft 5, and the telescopic damping spring 6 plays a role in damping. Thus, a continuous two-stage damping is formed, which not only ensures the lifting stability of the lifting chamber 2 inside the tower, but also reduces noise and vibration.
