Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tower transport device, belonging to the technical field of wind power equipment and facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their cylindrical structure and large radial dimensions, wind turbine towers are difficult to transport directly, posing significant safety hazards during transport. To mitigate these issues, existing manufacturers typically disassemble the cylindrical structure longitudinally into multiple segments at the factory, then stack and transport them, finally assembling them into a complete cylinder at the installation site. However, during transport, the irregular shape of the segmented towers makes them difficult to secure; and during stacking, friction and impact can easily occur, causing damage to the tower segments. Therefore, we propose a tower transport device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tower transport device that can conveniently and quickly fix and stack tower sections, saving transport space while its fixing structure is stable and can avoid damage during transport.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tower transport device, including tower sections and a flatbed cart. Parallel mounting plates are vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the flatbed cart. Limiting components are slidably arranged between two mounting plates. Multiple limiting components are arranged in three evenly distributed rows. The tower sections are inserted between the limiting components and fixed, allowing multiple tower sections to be stacked, saving transport space. Hydraulic telescopic devices are connected to both ends of the top limiting components. The retraction of the hydraulic telescopic devices causes the top limiting components to press down, tightening and fixing the tower sections. A base is provided on the upper surface of the flatbed cart between the two mounting plates. Adjustable support columns are provided on both sides of the top of the base. These adjustable support columns support the limiting components located on both sides of the bottom, allowing the bottom limiting components to support the raised ends of the tower sections and prevent damage to the tower sections due to force.

[0005] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the mounting plate has a sliding groove along the vertical direction, and the two ends of the limiting component are provided with sliders. The sliders at both ends of the limiting component are slidably installed in the sliding grooves of the mounting plate on both sides, so that the limiting component can slide freely. Furthermore, multiple limiting components can be stacked and installed in the top-opening sliding groove as needed.

[0006] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the limiting component includes a central column, the slider is placed at both ends of the central column, and the outer surface of the central column is wrapped with a flexible anti-slip pad. The central column plays a role in bearing force and applying pressure, while the flexible anti-slip pad can play a role in shock absorption, buffering, fixing and anti-slip.

[0007] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the sliders at both ends of the three central columns at the top of the three rows of limiting components are connected to the top of the corresponding hydraulic telescopic device via connecting rods, and the connecting rods are detachable.

[0008] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the diameter of the flexible anti-slip pad of the row of limiting components in the middle is larger than the diameter of the flexible anti-slip pad of the limiting components on both sides, so that the support fits the tower sections more firmly and the support is more stable.

[0009] In the aforementioned tower transport device, a groove is provided on the outer wall of the slider at the end of the central column at the top, and an ear plate is provided at one end of the connecting rod and placed in the groove. The ear plate is fixedly connected to the slider by bolts.

[0010] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the other end of the connecting rod extends out of the slide groove and is placed on the top of the hydraulic telescopic device, and the connecting rod is detachably connected to the top of the hydraulic telescopic device.

[0011] In the aforementioned tower transport device, the adjustable support column adopts an electrically telescopic adjustment structure.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model uses a method of interleaving and stacking tower sections for transportation. The stacking of tower sections saves space and reduces transportation costs. The limiting components not only fix the stacked tower sections firmly but also prevent friction and collision between the tower sections during transportation, reducing transportation losses. At the same time, the number of stacking layers can be designed according to needs, and it can be adapted to transport tower sections of different sizes, which can effectively improve transportation efficiency and save transportation costs.
