Description

Tower drum turnover device and tower mounting system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, in particular to a tower drum overturning device for overturning a tower drum of a wind generating set and a tower mounting system.
Background
When the offshore project is hoisted, the tower barrel is in a lying state when being transported from the transport ship to the installation ship, and in the process of installing the wind generating set, the tower barrel needs to be turned over, namely, the tower barrel is turned over from a horizontal state to a vertical state and then is installed.
FIG. 1 is an assembly schematic diagram of a tower drum turning device used for tower drum turning in the prior art. FIG. 2 is the cross-shaped support structure 5 of FIG. 1 mounted to the tower lower flange 104. Fig. 3 is a left side view of the tower turnover device of fig. 1 without the cross-shaped support structure 5. As shown in fig. 1, the conventional tower turn-over apparatus is completed by two cranes, a main crane spreader 1 is connected to an upper flange 102 at a second end 103 of a tower 100, and a tail crane spreader 2 is connected to a lower flange 104 at a first end 101 of the tower. When the tower drum 100 is turned over, firstly, the main crane sling 1 and the tail sliding crane sling 2 horizontally lift the tower drum 100 to a certain height, then the main crane sling 1 continuously lifts the second end 103 of the tower drum 100, the tail sliding crane sling 2 slowly descends until the tower drum 100 is in a vertical state, the tail sliding crane sling 2 is removed, and the main crane sling 1 continuously lifts to complete the assembly of the tower drum 100.
Because the two cranes are used for completing the hoisting operation of the tower barrel in a cooperative manner, the requirements on cooperation and tacit of operators of the two cranes are high. Meanwhile, the two cranes have high requirements on site space, and cannot be applied to sites such as sea and the like due to insufficient space.
In addition, with the design demand and development of the upsizing of the offshore wind turbine generator, the diameter of the tower is gradually increased. In particular, for large unit volume projects, the wall thickness of the tower and the attachment flange need to be as light as possible in weight to meet the strength and fatigue loads for manufacturing cost savings. The diameter of the tower is increased along with the increase of the capacity of the unit due to the power and the load of the designed unit, but the wall thickness of the tower and the width and the thickness of the flange are not increased in proportion, so that the flange of the tower has the risk of hoisting deformation in the turning process. In particular, as shown in fig. 3, the tail-slipping lifting lugs 3 and 4 are generally installed near the top of the first end 103 of the tower, so that the installation and the disassembly are very difficult, the installer needs to climb a ladder or a hanging basket to install the tail-slipping lifting lugs, and the installer has a great safety risk. Moreover, even if the tail sliding lifting lugs 3 and 4 are successfully installed, the flange of the tower barrel can elastically deform due to self weight because the diameter of the tower barrel 100 is large; meanwhile, there is a risk of flange deformation at the connecting portion of the tower lower flange 104 with the tail-sliding lifting lugs 3 and 4, and a cross-shaped support structure 5 as shown in fig. 2 needs to be installed on the tower lower flange 104 to prevent flange deformation. The flange deformation leads to that the bolt can not pass into in tower section of thick bamboo butt joint in-process, needs to rectify with the help of extra hydraulic pressure expanding unit, and the rectification is successful still need again to rectify the support position and detect a flaw again, do anticorrosive.
Therefore, a tower drum turning tool capable of reducing deformation of a tower drum in the turning process is needed.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the tower mounting system according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a tower overturning device, an impeller assembling device 20, and an unloading device 30. Wherein the unloading device 30 is used for dumping the tower 100 from the carrier to the installation vessel in a horizontal state and for transporting the tower 100 to the installation position with the hub 200 or other towers. The tower turnover device is used for turning the tower 100 from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The impeller assembly device 20 is used to interface and assemble the tower 100 with the hub 200 or other towers.
As shown in fig. 4 to 8, the tower overturning device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a hoisting mechanism 110 and a tower overturning support base 120. The tower overturning support base 120 is used for supporting the first end 103 of the tower during the tower overturning process, and the hoisting mechanism 110 is used for lifting the second end 101 of the tower 100.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the hoisting mechanism 110 comprises a crane, hoisting seats 111 and 112 and a first set of straps. Two hanging seats 111 and 112 are respectively mounted on the tower upper flange 102 and are circumferentially and symmetrically arranged on the end face of the second end 101 of the tower 100. The first strap set includes two straps 113 and 114. A harness 113 is connected at a first end to the hanger 112 and at a second end to the crane hook 115. Another sling 114 is connected at a first end to the lifting base 111 and at a second end to a crane hook 115.
During the turning process of the tower, the tower turning support base 120 is used for supporting the end face of the first end 103 of the tower. The tower drum overturning support seat 120 comprises a first overturning support seat and a second overturning support seat, the two overturning support seats are arranged oppositely and symmetrically, and the tower drum 100 is supported from two sides of the end face of the first end 103 of the tower drum.
As shown in fig. 6, the first turn-over stand includes a first fixed stand 121 and a first rotating stand 123. The first rotation mount 123 includes a first rotation arm 123a and a first support part 123 b. The first rotating arm 123a is rotatably connected to the first stationary holder 121 through a first rotating shaft 125 (refer to fig. 8), rotatable in a vertical direction. The first rotating arm 123a and the first fixing bracket 121 are provided with through holes through which the first rotating shaft 125 passes. The first axis of rotation 125 is disposed horizontally and aligned with the axis of the tower 100. The first support portion 123b extends laterally with respect to the first rotary support arm 123 at an end of the first rotary support arm 123 a. Specifically, a first support portion 123b is formed on the first rotating arm 123a in a radial direction for fixedly supporting the first end 103 of the tower 100. The first support portion 123b is formed with a plurality of attachment holes 123c corresponding to the threaded holes 104a of the tower lower flange 104.
The second roll-over support includes a second fixed support 122 and a second rotating support 124. The second rotation mount 124 includes a second rotation arm 124a and a second support portion 124b formed on the second rotation arm 124a in a radial direction. The second rotating arm 124a is rotatably connected to the second fixed mount 122 via a second rotating shaft 126, through holes for the second rotating shaft 126 to pass through are provided in the second rotating arm 124a and the second fixed mount 122, the second rotating shaft 126 is coaxial with the first rotating shaft 125, and the first support portion 123b and the second support portion 124b can rotate synchronously. The second support portion 124b defines a plurality of attachment holes 124c that correspond to the threaded holes 104a of the tower lower flange 104.
In a state that the first end 101 of the tower is supported on the tower overturning support seat 120, bolts penetrate through the connection holes 123c and the threaded holes 104a of the lower flange 104 of the tower to fixedly connect the first support portion 123b with the lower flange 104 of the tower, and meanwhile, bolts penetrate through the connection holes 124c and the threaded holes 104a to fixedly connect the second support portion 124b with the lower flange 104 of the tower. Preferably, the connection holes 123c, 124c may be designed as kidney-shaped holes to accommodate more flange interfaces, and meet the connection versatility with the threaded holes 104a of the tower lower flange 104.
Because the tower lower flange 104 is annular, the first supporting portion 123b and the second supporting portion 124b are each formed in a sector ring shape corresponding to the shape of the tower lower flange 104, and each sector ring shape is a segment of an arc. In the case where the supports 123b, 124b are provided in total of two, the arc length of each support 123b, 124b does not exceed 1/2 of the tower lower flange 104. Preferably, the first support portion 123b and the second support portion 124b may have an arc length equal to 1/4 of the lower flange 104 of the tower, and the first support portion 123b and the second support portion 124b are circumferentially arranged along the lower flange 104 of the tower and are symmetrical to each other during the turnover of the tower. Further, instead of the first support portion 123b and the second support portion 124b having separate structures, the first support portion 123b and the second support portion 124b may be formed as an integral structure, that is, an annular support portion corresponding to the tower lower flange 104 may be formed.
During the turn-over of the tower 100, the tower lower flange 104 is supported by the first supporting portion 123b and the second supporting portion 124b, and the first supporting portion 123b and the second supporting portion 124b rotate around the rotating shafts 125, 126 during the turn-over of the tower 100, so that the tower lower flange 104 is not deformed due to stress concentration caused by local tension during the turn-over of the tower 100. In addition, when the tower drum 100 is in a horizontal state, because the first supporting portion 123b and the second supporting portion 124b are not installed at the top of the tower drum lower flange 104, the bolt connection position is in the horizontal direction, the operation height is reduced, and an installer can complete bolt installation and disassembly operations on a deck, so that the operation safety is ensured, and the problems of personal safety caused by difficult installation and disassembly and high climbing risks of the tail sliding lifting lugs 3 and 4 in the prior art are solved.
The tower tilt mount may also include a positioning mechanism for limiting rotation of the rotating arms 123a, 124a relative to the stationary mounts 121 and 122. The positioning mechanism includes two positioning pins, and the rotating arms 123a, 124a and the fixing supports 121 and 122 are respectively provided with positioning pin shaft holes 124d, 122b for the two positioning pins to pass through, wherein fig. 7 shows the positioning pin shaft hole 122b on the second fixing support 122, fig. 8 shows the positioning pin shaft hole 124d on the second rotating arm 124a and the second positioning pin 131, and the second positioning pin 131 simultaneously passes through the positioning pin shaft hole 124d on the second rotating arm 124a and the positioning pin shaft hole 122b on the second fixing support 122, so as to relatively fix the second rotating arm 124a and the second fixing support 124. Similarly, a first positioning pin shaft (not shown) is provided in the first flipping support seat and positioning pin shaft holes (not shown) similar to the positioning pin shaft holes 122b, 124d in the second flipping support seat are provided on the first fixing support seat 121 and the first rotating arm 123a, and the first positioning pin shaft simultaneously passes through the positioning pin shaft hole on the first rotating arm 123a and the positioning pin shaft hole on the first fixing support seat 121 to fix the first rotating arm 123a relative to the first fixing support seat 121. The first and second support portions 123b and 124b are fixed relative to the fixed supports 121 and 122 at predetermined positions by a positioning mechanism, so as to facilitate installation between the first and second support portions 123b and 124b and the tower lower flange 104. More specifically, the positioning mechanism fixes the rotating arms 123a, 124a in a position rotated 90 degrees with respect to the fixed supports 121 and 122, so that the lower flange 104 of the tower is connected to the first support 123b and the second support 124b in a horizontal state of the tower 100.
