AI Technical Summary
During offshore wind power construction, a problem arises where the bottom of a tubular object makes hard contact with the ground as it is unwound from the wind turbine reel, causing wear and tear.
A reel for assisting in the installation of tubular objects was designed, including a ground support plate, a rotatable placement plate, and casters. The top surface of the placement plate is covered with a soft layer, and the inner diameter of the tubular object is fitted outside the central support column. The flexible contact during rotation and unfolding avoids hard contact wear.
This effectively avoids wear and tear on tubular objects caused by hard contact during transportation and deployment, thus improving the lifespan of the objects and transportation efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a reel for assisting in the installation of tubular objects, belonging to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for offshore wind power construction. Background Technology
[0002] When submarine cables, guy wires, steel cables, and other tubular objects used in offshore wind power construction are transported to the site in reels, the tubular objects on the reels are placed directly on the ground. During the unwinding of the reels, the bottom surface of the tubular objects on the reels is prone to hard contact and friction with the ground, resulting in damage.
[0003] There is an existing technology for unfolding a tubular object placed on a reel, as described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN103693471A. Although the tubular object in the shape of a reel can be placed on the ground by means of casters on a pole, the bottom surface of the tubular object will still make hard contact with the base. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a reel for assisting in the installation of tubular objects.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0006] This utility model provides a reel for assisting in the installation of tubular objects, comprising:
[0007] Ground support plate to provide overall support;
[0008] A placement plate for supporting tubular objects, the placement plate being rotatably mounted on a ground support plate, the top surface of the placement plate having a soft layer for flexible contact with the bottom surface of the tubular objects.
[0009] The ground support plate is rotatably mounted with a placement plate via bearing components.
[0010] The placement plate has a downward-protruding shaft section at its center, which can be rotatably mounted on the ground support plate via bearing components.
[0011] The bottom outer periphery of the placement plate is fixedly equipped with three casters that can roll into contact with the ground support plate; the three casters are arranged in a circular array on the bottom surface of the placement plate.
[0012] The soft layer is made of rubber.
[0013] The placement plate is fixed with four central pillars arranged in a circular array. The area enclosed by the four central pillars is the inner diameter of the tubular object.
[0014] The tops of the four intermediate pillars are connected by an enclosing top frame, which is then welded and fixed to the top surfaces of the four intermediate pillars.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the inner diameter of the tubular object is fitted outside the four middle support pillars. When the tubular object is rotated and pulled on the ground support plate by the placement plate, the bottom surface of the tubular object is in flexible contact with the soft layer, which solves the problem of wear caused by hard contact during transportation and traction.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown.
[0022] This application provides a reel for assisting in the installation of tubular objects, comprising:
[0023] A ground support plate 4 provides overall support by contacting the ground with its surface. The bottom surface of the ground support plate 4 in contact with the ground is greater than or equal to the projection surface of the tubular object 5 on the horizontal ground, so as to ensure the frictional stability of the ground support plate 4 in contact with the ground.
[0024] The ground support plate 4 is rotatably mounted with the placement plate 2 via the bearing component 41; the placement plate 2 has a downwardly protruding shaft section at its center, which is rotatably mounted on the ground support plate 4 via the bearing component 41; the outer periphery of the placement plate 2 is fixedly mounted with universal wheels 3, which can roll into contact with the ground support plate 4, and the three universal wheels 3 are arranged in a circular array on the bottom surface of the placement plate 2.
[0025] The top surface of the placement plate 2 has a soft layer 21, which is made of materials such as rubber, so that the bottom surface of the tubular object 5 is in flexible contact with the soft layer 21 on the top surface of the placement plate 2, thus avoiding hard contact and wear of the surface of the tubular object 5 during transportation and unfolding.
[0026] The placement plate 2 is welded and fixed with four intermediate support columns 1 arranged in a circular array. The area enclosed by the four intermediate support columns 1 is the inner diameter of the tubular object 5.
[0027] The tops of the four intermediate pillars 1 are connected by an enclosing top frame 11, and the enclosing top frame 11 is welded and fixed to the top surfaces of the four intermediate pillars 1.
[0028] The inner diameter of the tubular object 5 is fitted around the four intermediate support pillars 1. The bottom surface of the tubular object 5 is in flexible contact with the soft layer 21 on the top surface of the placement plate 2. When the tubular object 5 is rotated and pulled on the ground support plate 4 by the placement plate 2, the bottom surface of the tubular object 5 is in flexible contact with the soft layer 21, which solves the problem of wear caused by hard contact during transportation and traction deployment of the tubular object 5.
