Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power installation technology, and in particular to a hoisting mechanism for large wind turbine blades. Background Technology
[0002] A wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical work, which drives a rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. During wind turbine assembly, the tower is typically installed in sections first, followed by the nacelle, and finally the three blades. Cranes and lifting equipment are commonly used for blade installation. Due to their large size and weight, and the significant impact of wind forces, the blade installation process is complex and time-consuming. High safety requirements exist for preventing falls during blade installation; therefore, a lifting mechanism for large wind turbine blades needs to be designed to improve safety during the blade installation process.

[0004] The present invention provides a hoisting mechanism for large wind turbine blades, which adopts the following technical solution: A hoisting mechanism for large wind turbine blades includes an operating platform, a hanger on the top surface of the operating platform, and two L-shaped support frames on the bottom surface of the operating platform. Clamping components for clamping and fixing the blades are installed on the support frames. A winch is also installed on the operating platform. The winch is connected to a locking strap for tightening and fixing the blades. The bottom end of the locking strap is detachably fixed to the bottom of the support frame by a limiting component.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking strap, together with the clamping assembly, fixes the blade, which plays an auxiliary protective role and improves the safety during the hoisting process. In addition, the locking strap is easy to disassemble, which improves the convenience of operation.
[0006] Optionally, the limiting component includes a second hydraulic cylinder located at the bottom of the support frame. A plug rod is coaxially fixed to the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder. A socket block is also fixed to the bottom of the support frame. A socket slot is provided on the side of the socket block near the plug rod. The plug rod can be detachably inserted into the socket slot. A connecting cylinder is connected to the bottom end of the locking band. The connecting cylinder can be detachably sleeved on the plug rod.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting cylinder is sleeved on the insert rod, and the hydraulic cylinder can drive the insert rod to move, thereby detaching the connecting cylinder from the insert rod. Then, the locking belt can be wound up by a winch. This limiting component is easy to operate and has a significant effect.
[0008] Optionally, a mounting box is fixed to the bottom of the support frame, and the second hydraulic cylinder is installed inside the mounting box, with the insertion rod sliding through the side plate of the mounting box.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting box provides both protection and support for the connecting cylinder, making it easier to detach the connecting cylinder from the insertion rod.
[0010] Optionally, a buffer layer is fixed to the outside of the connecting cylinder.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer layer plays an elastic buffering role and provides protection for the connecting cylinder.
[0012] Optionally, a lifting ring is fixed to the outside of the connecting cylinder, and the locking strap passes through the lifting ring and is fixed by fastening bolts.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking band and the connecting cylinder can be easily fixed by tightening bolts.
[0014] Optionally, the bottom end of the locking band is stacked on an intermediate pressure plate, and side pressure plates are respectively provided on both sides of the intermediate pressure plate. Fastening bolts are passed through the locking band, the intermediate pressure plate and the side pressure plates.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the middle pressure plate and the side pressure plate cooperate with each other to further improve the firmness of the connection between the locking strip and the connecting cylinder.
[0016] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a mounting bracket fixed to the top of the support frame, an arc-shaped movable clamping plate hinged in the middle of the support frame, an arc-shaped fixed clamping plate fixed to the bottom of the support frame, the arc-shaped opening of the movable clamping plate facing the arc-shaped opening of the fixed clamping plate, and a hydraulic cylinder for driving the movable clamping plate to rotate hinged between the mounting bracket and the tail end of the movable clamping plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder can drive the movable clamping plate to move up and down, thereby controlling the clamping of the blade. This clamping component is easy to operate and highly practical.
[0018] Optionally, a second guide ring is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable clamping plate, and a first guide ring is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed clamping plate. The locking band is movably inserted into the second guide ring and the first guide ring.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the second guide ring and the first guide ring have a limiting effect, which can restrict the movement trajectory of the locking strip, improve the stability of the locking strip during movement, and make the locking strip fit more tightly with the blade.
[0020] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The locking strap, together with the clamping assembly, secures the blades, providing auxiliary protection and improving safety during hoisting. Furthermore, the locking strap is easy to disassemble, enhancing operational convenience. The connecting sleeve is fitted onto the insert rod.

This clamping assembly is easy to operate and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

The arc-shaped opening of the movable clamping plate 31 and the arc-shaped opening of the fixed clamping plate 32 are arranged facing each other. A hydraulic cylinder 33 for driving the movable clamping plate 31 to rotate is hinged between the mounting bracket 30 and the tail end of the movable clamping plate 31.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hoisting mechanism also includes a locking strap 4 for protection. A guide ring 320 is fixed to the front end of the fixed clamping plate 32, and a guide ring 310 is fixed to the front end of the movable clamping plate 31. A winch 5 for winding or releasing the locking strap 4 is installed on the operating platform 1. One end of the locking strap 4 is connected to the winch 5, and the other end of the locking strap 4 passes downward through the guide ring 310 and the guide ring 320 in sequence. The bottom end of the locking strap 4 is fixed by a limiting component 6.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 The limiting component 6 includes a mounting box 60 fixed to the bottom of the support frame 2. A second hydraulic cylinder 61 is installed inside the mounting box 60. A plug rod 62 is coaxially fixed to the piston rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 61, and the plug rod 62 slides through the mounting box 60.

A socket slot 63 is opened on the side of the socket block 63 near the plug rod 62, and the plug rod 62 can be detachably inserted into the socket slot 630.
[0031] Reference Figure 4 The bottom end of the locking band 4 is connected to a connecting tube 64, which is detachably sleeved on the insert rod 62.

Then, the winch 5 is controlled to wind up the locking strap 4. The locking strap 4 drives the connecting cylinder 64 upward through the guide ring 320 and the guide ring 310, thereby releasing the locking effect of the locking strap 4 on the blade. Finally, the clamping assembly 3 is controlled to release the blade.
