Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stacking and shipping support, specifically to a stacking and shipping support module for the side plate of a wind turbine tower. Background Technology
[0002] Due to their large size, wind turbine towers are typically constructed by circumferentially joining multiple curved or bent plates. The side plates of the wind turbine towers are also curved or bent plates. If these are directly stacked for shipment, the lower side plates will experience irreversible bending due to the weight of the plates, affecting subsequent assembly and connection. Furthermore, during shipment, the stacked side plates will collide with each other due to vibration, causing surface wear. Utility Model Content

[0004] The bottom frame is fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom frame. The first support column is perpendicular to the bottom frame and faces upward. The first docking plate is fixedly connected to the end face of the first support column. The first docking plate is provided with a first docking hole.
[0005] The top frame is fixedly connected to the four corners of each of the four corners of the top frame. The second support column is perpendicular to the top frame and is set downwards. The second support column is fixedly connected to the end face of the second support column. The second support column is provided with a second docking hole.
[0006] A first connecting plate is fixedly connected to each of the four corners at the bottom of the intermediate frame, and the first connecting plate has a first connecting hole; a second connecting plate is fixedly connected to each of the four corners at the top of the intermediate frame, and the second connecting plate has a second connecting hole.
[0007] When the intermediate frame is set between the bottom frame and the top frame: the first mating plate of the bottom frame corresponds one-to-one with the first connecting plate of the intermediate frame, and the first mating plate and the corresponding first connecting plate are fastened together by bolts and nuts; the second mating plate of the top frame corresponds one-to-one with the second connecting plate of the intermediate frame, and the second mating plate and the corresponding second connecting plate are fastened together by bolts and nuts.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom frame, top frame and middle frame are each composed of rectangular tubes and connecting strips. In each frame, two rectangular tubes are arranged in parallel relative to each other and are fixedly connected by multiple connecting strips.
[0009] Furthermore, perforated plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the rectangular tube. The perforated plates are vertically arranged and have rope holes. The perforated plates have the following two functions: as lifting lugs, the bottom frame, top frame, and middle frame can be hoisted by hoisting ropes; after the perforated plates of the bottom frame and middle frame are hoisted, the wind turbine tower side plates can be tied and fixed to the frame by passing through the perforated plates with binding ropes.
[0010] Furthermore, multiple support plates are provided on both sides of the bottom frame and both sides of the middle frame, and the support plates are fixedly connected to the corresponding rectangular tubes; the support plates can provide further support for the wind turbine tower side plates placed on the bottom frame and the middle frame.
[0011] The above-mentioned stacking and shipping support module for the side panels of the wind turbine tower is used as follows:
[0012] First, the bottom frame is hoisted through its perforated plate to the side plate of the wind turbine tower using hoisting ropes. Then, a side plate of the wind turbine tower is placed on the bottom frame. After the hoisting ropes are removed, the side plate of the wind turbine tower is tied and fixed to the bottom frame using binding ropes that pass through its perforated plate.
[0013] Next, the middle frame is hoisted to the bottom frame through its perforated plate using ropes. The first connecting plate is then fastened to the corresponding first connecting plate using bolts and nuts. After the bottom frame and the middle frame are fixed together, another wind turbine tower side plate is placed on the middle frame. After the hoisting ropes are removed, the wind turbine tower side plate is tied and fixed to the middle frame by passing a binding rope through its perforated plate.
[0014] Finally, the top frame is hoisted onto the middle frame using ropes through its perforated plate. The second mating plate is then fastened to the corresponding second connecting plate using bolts and nuts. Once the top frame and the middle frame are fixed together, the assembly of a stacked shipping support module is complete.
[0015] Through the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The stacking and shipping support module for wind turbine tower side panels described in this application, through the cooperative design of structural components such as bottom frame, top frame, middle frame, support column, docking plate and connecting plate, allows a pair of wind turbine tower side panels to be stacked separately on the support module. The wind turbine tower side panels can be arc plates or bent plates, so there will be no weight pressure or collision and wear between them. Each stacking and shipping support module can also be easily hoisted into the shipping cargo hold by hoisting ropes through the perforated plate of its top frame. Attached Figure Description
