[0008] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0009] A permanent steel platform structure for a wind turbine hybrid tower includes a platform beam, multiple brackets, a platform panel, and a platform safety railing. The platform beam is generally ring-shaped, and its outer edge is connected to the inner wall of the tower segments via multiple brackets. The brackets are arranged along the circumference of the tower on the inner wall, with the axis of each bracket arranged radially along the tower. One end of each bracket is connected to a threaded sleeve pre-embedded in the inner wall of the segment, and the other end has two arc-shaped mounting holes for connecting the main beam assembly.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a permanent steel platform structure inside a wind power hybrid tower, including a platform beam, multiple brackets 4, a platform panel, and a platform safety railing 6. The platform beam has an overall ring structure. The outer edge of the platform beam is connected to the inner wall of the segments of the hybrid tower 7 through multiple brackets 4. The multiple brackets 4 are arranged on the inner wall of the hybrid tower along the circumference of the hybrid tower, and the axis of each bracket 4 is set along the radial direction of the hybrid tower 7. One end of each bracket 4 is connected to a threaded sleeve 701 pre-embedded on the inner wall of the segment, and the other end is provided with two arc-shaped mounting holes 403 for connecting the main beam assembly. The two arc-shaped mounting holes 403 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner. The brackets 4 can be adjusted along the circumference through the two arc-shaped mounting holes 403, thereby adapting to various installation conditions where the platform beam and the brackets 4 form various angles. The platform panel is fixed on the platform beam, and a platform safety railing 6 is provided around the outer edge of the platform beam.
[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the platform beam includes multiple main beam assemblies arranged sequentially. This embodiment uses the upper main beam assembly 1, middle main beam assembly 2, and lower main beam assembly 3 as examples. Each main beam assembly is formed by cross-welding multiple horizontal beams 101 and vertical beams 102 in a #-shaped structure. Hot-rolled H-beams (HN250×125×6×9) can be used. The weld joints are beveled for easy connection, and a backing plate is added at the bottom for non-destructive testing after welding. In actual manufacturing, the position and distance of the horizontal beams 101 and vertical beams 102 can be flexibly adjusted according to the installation location of the electrical cabinet to suit various specifications of electrical cabinets.
[0030] For ease of installation, flange plates 103 are provided at the joints of adjacent main beam components, and the two joint flange plates 103 are connected by bolts and lock nuts 104.
[0031] To facilitate hoisting construction, hoisting studs 106 are installed on the outer edge of the platform beam.
[0032] After the platform structure design was completed, static stress analysis was performed using ANSYS software. Beam elements were used to calculate the deformation and stress of the platform beams. Based on the calculation results, triangular plates 105 were welded at the welded joints of the crossbeam 101 and the longitudinal beam 102 to reduce stress concentration.
[0033] The platform panel is divided into multiple segments 5 according to the multiple main beam components of the platform beam. Each segment 5 corresponds one-to-one with a main beam component, and each segment 5 is fixed to the corresponding main beam component by bolt assembly 501. The segments are made of 4mm thick lentil-shaped patterned steel plates, and the bottom surface of the segments is provided with reinforcing ribs 502, which are also 4mm thick lentil-shaped patterned steel plates.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the platform safety railing 6 is made of ordinary steel pipe bent into shape, with a height of 1200mm. The bottom of the steel pipe is welded with a connecting flange 601, which is connected to the platform beam and platform panel with bolt assemblies.
[0035] like Figure 6As shown, the bracket 4 is welded from Q355B steel plate and includes a bracket body 401 and an anti-friction plate 402. The bracket body 401 is arranged radially along the mixing tower 7, with one end connected to the inner wall of the tube segment and the other end provided with two arc-shaped mounting holes 403 for connecting the platform beam. The two arc-shaped mounting holes 403 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner, and the centers of the two arc-shaped mounting holes 403 coincide. Plastic anti-friction plates 402 are provided on the left and right sides of the bracket body 401 to prevent the bracket from rubbing against the steel strands during the operation of the wind turbine, which could cause the steel strands to break. Since the bracket axis passes through the center of the mixing tower, and the platform beam is made of multiple crossbeams and longitudinal beams welded together in a #-shaped structure, its axis does not pass through the center of the mixing tower. Therefore, the angle between the axis of the platform beam and the axis of the bracket is not fixed, which makes the design and installation difficult. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped mounting holes can be used to adapt to the connection of platform beams at various angles.
[0036] The installation method of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] 1. Assemble mixed tower segments;
[0038] 2. Install the bracket directly onto the threaded sleeve pre-embedded in the segment using bolts and large washers;
[0039] 3. Connect the upper, middle and lower main beam components of the platform beam using bolts, lock nuts and washers;
[0040] 4. Use bolts, lock nuts, and washers to fix each segment of the platform panel to the platform beam;
[0041] 5. Use bolts, lock nuts, and washers to connect the platform safety railing to the platform beams and platform panels;
[0042] 6. Use a crane to lift the platform beam and platform panel as a whole to the installation position of the segment bracket, place it on the upper surface of the bracket, and use bolts, lock nuts and washers to fix the platform beam to the bracket. The platform installation is then complete.
[0043] 7. Hoist the entire tunnel segment as a whole, such as... Figure 7 As shown;
[0044] Construction workers stand on this platform to carry out the hoisting and gluing operations for the next ring of tunnel segments, as well as the positioning operations during the hoisting of the tunnel segments.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model patent, but the protection scope of this utility model patent is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in this utility model patent, based on the technical solution and utility model patent concept of this utility model patent, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
