Adjustable Support Frame for Wind Turbine Electrical Equipment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support devices for wind turbines lack versatility due to their rigid structural design, making it difficult to retrofit or adjust dimensions and load-bearing capacity to accommodate changing project requirements, such as adding or modifying electrical equipment.
Innovation Solution
A support device with a hollow frame structure and adjustable beam members, including sliding grooves and connecting members, allows for adjustable positioning and locking of beam members to adapt to different dimensions and load-bearing needs, featuring a support platform that can be adjusted in height and size to accommodate various equipment configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the support device uses a rigid fixed structure, then the structural stability is ensured, but the adaptability to different project requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support device incorporates adjustable beam members that can change their length and position dynamically. The beams include telescopic sections with locking mechanisms, allowing the support device to adapt its dimensions while maintaining structural stability through proper locking and support mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is divided into modular components including multiple adjustable beam members, connecting pieces, and support platforms. This segmentation allows individual components to be adjusted or reconfigured independently, providing versatility while each component maintains its structural integrity.
2Ease of manufacture
If the support device structure is simplified for ease of manufacture, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the functionality for retrofitting deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support device uses universal connecting pieces with standardized interfaces that can connect to different beam members and support platforms. This universality simplifies manufacturing by using repeated components while enabling multiple functions including initial installation, retrofitting, and reconfiguration for different equipment arrangements.
3Manufacturing precision
If the support device uses fixed dimensions, then the manufacturing precision is maintained, but the versatility for different equipment configurations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The beam members incorporate telescopic mechanisms with adjustable lengths that can be locked at precise intervals. This allows the support device to change its dimensional parameters while maintaining manufacturing precision through standardized locking positions and precision-machined connection interfaces.
