Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of offshore wind turbine installation technology, specifically a wind turbine mounting base that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore wind turbine mounting bases (foundations) are mainly divided into fixed foundations and floating foundations. One type of floating foundation, the semi-submersible platform, has symmetrically distributed floating cylinders at the bottom and fixed supports at the top. The fixed supports are usually fixed to the floating base with bolts, making them easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0003] When installing the fixed bracket and the suspension cylinder, the suspension cylinder is placed on a movable trolley. The fixed bracket is then lifted using hoisting equipment and slowly lowered so that the mounting holes on the connecting base plate fit onto the threaded rod at the top of the suspension cylinder. This alignment process requires multiple operations, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Therefore, a convenient and easy-to-install mounting base for the fan is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fan mounting base that is easy to assemble and disassemble, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] The suspension base includes a suspension cylinder, a support, a connecting base, and mounting holes. There are three connecting bases, which are welded to the lower end of the support and are arranged in a ring symmetrically. The mounting holes are opened on the connecting bases and are arranged in a ring symmetrically. The connecting base is fixed to the upper end of the suspension cylinder by bolts and mounting holes.

[0007] The alignment assembly includes a fixing plate, a first insertion hole, a second insertion hole, and a connector. The fixing plate is welded to the upper side of the suspension cylinder. The first insertion hole and the second insertion hole are formed on the fixing plate. One end of the connector is inserted into two adjacent mounting holes, and the other end is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector includes a special-shaped connecting rod, a first insert rod, and a second insert rod. The two ends of the special-shaped connecting rod are inserted into two adjacent mounting holes. One end of the first insert rod and the second insert rod are welded to the middle of the special-shaped connecting rod, and the other ends are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole.

[0009] Furthermore, there are three suspension cylinders, corresponding to three connecting chassis.

[0010] Furthermore, the bracket is conical with a fixed base welded to the top, and the external fan is fixed to the fixed base by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting component, which includes a first U-shaped slot, a second U-shaped slot, and a connecting rod. The first U-shaped slot and the second U-shaped slot are welded to the lower side of the suspension cylinder, and the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively engaged in the first U-shaped slot and the second U-shaped slot of the two suspension cylinders.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes a limiting block and a slot. The limiting block is welded to the other end of the first U-shaped slot and the second U-shaped slot away from the suspension cylinder, respectively. The slot is opened at both ends of the connecting rod, and the limiting block is inserted into the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes an opening, which is located on the side of the middle portion of the connecting rod.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes an alignment assembly to insert the two ends of a non-standard connecting rod into two adjacent mounting holes. The bracket is then lifted and moved to the top of three suspension cylinders, causing the connecting base to move onto the suspension cylinders. The bracket is slowly lowered, and the installer pulls the first and second insert rods, inserting them into the first and second insertion holes on the fixing plate, respectively. The bracket is then lowered, and the mounting holes on the three connecting bases align with the screws at the top of the suspension cylinders. As the connecting base accurately lands on the suspension cylinders, the non-standard connecting rods are pushed out of their mounting holes. The first and second insert rods can then be removed. This design allows for quick alignment of the mounting holes on the connecting base with the screws on the suspension cylinders, improving installation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a fan mounting base that is easy to assemble and disassemble, comprising:

[0027] The suspension base includes a suspension cylinder 10, a bracket 11, a connecting base 12, and mounting holes 13. There are three connecting bases 12, which are welded to the lower end of the bracket 11 and are distributed in a ring symmetrically. The mounting holes 13 are opened on the connecting bases 12 and are distributed in a ring symmetrically. The connecting bases 12 are fixed to the upper end of the suspension cylinder 10 by bolts and mounting holes 13.

[0028] There are three suspension cylinders 10, corresponding to three connecting chassis 12;

[0029] The bracket 11 is conical, with a fixed base welded to the top, and the external fan is fixed to the fixed base by bolts;

[0030] The suspension cylinder 10 can support the support frame 11 and the wind turbine to float at sea. The support frame 11 provides support, the connecting chassis 12 is used to connect the suspension cylinder 10 and the support frame 11, and the mounting hole 13 facilitates the connection of bolts.

[0031] The alignment assembly includes a fixing plate 20, a first insertion hole 21, a second insertion hole 22, and a connector.

[0033] The fixing plate 20 provides support, the first insertion hole 21, the second insertion hole 22, the first insertion rod 24, and the second insertion rod 25 provide positioning, and the irregular connecting rod 23 provides connection.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Insert both ends of the irregular connecting rod 23 into the two adjacent mounting holes 13. The bracket 11 is lifted and moved to the upper end of the three suspension cylinders 10, causing the connecting base 12 to move onto the suspension cylinders 10. The bracket 11 is slowly lowered, and the installer pulls the first insert rod 24 and the second insert rod 25, inserting them into the first insert hole 21 and the second insert hole 22 on the fixing plate 20, respectively. Then, the bracket 11 is lowered, and the mounting holes 13 on the three connecting bases 12 are fitted onto the screws at the upper end of the suspension cylinders 10.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] Place the suspension cylinder 10 on the movable trolley, push the trolley to place the suspension cylinder 10 in a ring, hold the opening 35 with your hand, and insert one end of the connecting rod 32 into the first U-shaped slot 30 of one of the suspension cylinders 10, so that the slot 34 is locked on the limiting block 33. Insert the other end of the connecting rod 32 into the second U-shaped slot 31 of the other suspension cylinder 10. Install them in sequence and connect and limit the three suspension cylinders 10 through the three connecting rods 32.

[0044] This step only requires aligning one set of suspension cylinders 10 and connecting chassis 12 during installation, saving time aligning the other two sets.
