Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a method for dismantling a concrete tower - such. B. a precast concrete tower of a wind turbine - which consists of stacked and tensioned by tendons concrete tower segments.

background

Buildings such as industrial plants, cooling towers, chimneys often have to be dismantled or demolished after the planned operational utilization period. Wind turbines often have a planned service life of around twenty years. After this time, the system must be dismantled, disposed of and the land returned to its original state.

In cooling towers and chimneys and the like, an explosive device can be attached to a suitable location of the structure and then collapse or fall down by igniting the explosive device. However, this is associated with not insignificant risks to the environment and in particular persons in the immediate vicinity.

As an alternative to disassembly or to cancel chimneys, cooling towers or the like, other methods and devices are known.

That is how it is DE 102 25 183 A1 to take a demolition device, which comprises a can be placed on the crown of a wall to be broken and movable along the wall transport device. Supporting means are laterally engageable with the wall. A demolition tool is part of the demolition device and serves to piecewise break off the wall. In particular, the demolition device is to be spirally moved down the wall in this known demolition device for removing chimneys, cooling towers or the like.

One of the DE 102 25 183 A1 similar device for demolition of buildings is from the DE 203 04 654 U1 known. In this device for demolishing buildings such as chimneys, cooling towers, flare towers or the like. A frame frame is present, which can be attached to or on the edge of the building and carries the demolition tools.

At the time of the DE 20 2008 004 374 U1 known device for breaking off structures, a frame is present, which can be placed on the upper edge of the building. On the frame, a platform is formed on which an excavator with demolition tool is placeable. The frame is adaptable to different diameters or dimensions of the building. Again, the structure is to be shredded by spiral breaking.

One of the device of DE 20 2008 004 374 U1 similar work cabin is from the DE 38 39 677 C2 or the DE 38 39 677 A1 known. Again, the work booth includes a footprint for an excavator with a demolition tool.

A working device for demolishing or building walls is also from the DE 92 06 391 U1 seen. This known device comprises a motor-driven undercarriage and a pivotally mounted thereon superstructure with a replaceable tools bearing boom. The undercarriage has a suitable for movement on the masonry chassis such. B. a caterpillar train as well as a security device with two over the wall, can be applied on both sides of the wall underneath the chassis clamping arms. The one clamping arm is adjustable transversely to the direction of travel of the undercarriage and the other opposing clamping arm is pivotable about an axis parallel to the direction of travel of the undercarriage.

All of the aforementioned methods and devices have in common that thereby the concrete is removed in fragments. Consequently, the time required is extremely high. Such methods and devices are not suitable for the dismantling of concrete segment towers of wind turbines tend.

The JP 2010-121 394 A discloses a nacelle which can be placed on a concrete tower for demounting and which is placed on the concrete tower by means of a crane. Furthermore, it is disclosed that the nacelle is deposited together with a separate concrete tower segment by means of the crane to the ground. With regard to the separation of individual concrete tower segments wall and wire saws are called. Accordingly, a key aspect of this disclosure is the collection of water that is necessary when using wall and wire saws.

Also the publication CH 670 248 A5 shows only a special configuration for arranging a work cabin in cooling towers or dams. Here is a working cabin via a guide cable between a rotatable support at the top of the wall and a clamping element 7 clamped at the foot of the wall. The clamping element can be manipulated in the horizontal direction over the entire work surface. Vertical movement of the cab and rotation of the entire guide wire bracket allows any point the surface to be processed can be achieved. There is no disclosure of what operations are performed on such a curved wall by means of this known work cabin.

The disassembly of a wind turbine requires trained specialist staff with sufficient experience. Errors during disassembly can lead to life-threatening situations or substantial property damage. Especially the dismantling of a concrete tower presents the wind turbine operators with not inconsiderable problems and causes considerable costs.

Nowadays, a wind turbine is partially disassembled with the help of a crane and transported away. First, the leaves are separated from the hub, then the hub and the gondola are dismantled. The top, mostly made of steel tower area is then unscrewed. The switchgear and the transfer station and other facilities are then excavated and removed.

After the steel sections have been removed, the concrete tower, which is composed of individual segments, must be piecewise or, if possible, segmentally removed. Concrete towers are often produced from individual concrete tower or one or multi-part ring segments in which the individual annular concrete tower segments are glued or pegged.

In addition, the individual tower segments in the vertical direction with steel cables, also called tendons, braced. The steel cables consist of individual tension strands, which are grouped together in a tendon. A tendon extends within a concrete tower segment in the vertical direction. For this purpose, pipes are poured within the concrete reinforcement of the concrete tower segments, in which run along the tendons.

Since the tubes are potted with the tendons in this structure once again, the use of ropes or blades has been necessary for disassembly of such concrete towers. The effort to separate the various segments and to lift them off is great due to these working conditions. In addition, the wear on saw blades and wire saws is considerable. Accordingly, the cost of dismantling are high.

The technical problem underlying the invention is to provide an economical method for dismantling a concrete tower, which consists of successively set and stressed by tendons concrete tower segments.

Summary of the Revelation

According to the present invention, the aforementioned technical problem is solved by a method having the method steps set forth in claim 1.

The concrete is therefore melted at the height of a segment joint between an upper concrete ring segment and an underlying concrete tower segment at a point at which a tendon runs, and thermally separated. In this thermal melting and separation process, the exposed tendon is cut at this point of the concrete tower segment. The melting and separating process is performed as often at the respective points on the segment joint, until all tendons are completely severed on the entire circumference of the segment joint.

This is followed by a section-wise pushing away of the upper concrete tower segment from the underlying concrete tower segment. For example, for this purpose, a wedge or splitting tool is driven at one or more points of the segment joint. As a result, the bonding between the concrete tower segments is partially resolved. As soon as the upper concrete tower segment is detached from the underlying concrete tower segment completely over the entire segment joint, the lifting of the upper concrete tower segment takes place by means of a crane.

In an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention, the melting process of the concrete and the tendons takes place with the aid of a so-called oxygen lance or oxygen core lance. By the first use of an oxygen core lance for partially thermal separation or melting of concrete and tendons therein is a quick and cost-effective release of liftable concrete tower ring segments possible without tool change. In addition to the method, the term "oxygen core lance" also often referred directly to this type of cutting torch, that is, a technical device in which the method of oxygen lance, also called oxygen core lance, applies. For this purpose, the term "thermal lance" is in use. The burner construction of an oxygen lance preferably consists of a long hollow rod, which is filled to increase the surface with steel wires and gaseous oxygen is flowed through at high pressure and high speed. After heating and igniting the flame at the tube outlet, the tube material begins to burn under the oxygen with a strongly exothermic reaction at temperatures up to 2000-3000 ° C. The resulting fire lance is on the material to be cut or pierced put on and constantly updated. The temperatures are sufficient to melt even substances with a very high melting point. Due to the extremely hot combustion of the iron wires and also of the iron tube in the oxygen flow as well as the flow pressure of flame and combustion gas, a cutting torch effect is created. Molten material and combustion gases are removed by the gas flow from the combustor. Since the tube consumes at the torch through the insert, it must be periodically replaced if it becomes too short. It should be noted that ferritic steel is burned in the oxygen stream, concrete copper alloys and austenitic steel are melted. All these properties of the oxygen core lance are used according to the invention for the first time in the dismantling of concrete segment towers. For the procedure for the production of single holes with larger diameter, which may be necessary to separate tendons from the outside, for example, reference is made to DVS Bulletin 2101 of November 2015 (replaced edition October 2008).

In a further exemplary embodiment of the present inventive method, the pushing away of the upper concrete tower segment is carried out in the formed by the thermal melting holes; for example, by introducing a wedge or splitting tool. In particular, therefore, a splitting takes place at the segment joint of the upper concrete tower segment to the underlying concrete tower segment.

A further exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention comprises that holes are made at intervals in the segment joint between the upper concrete tower segment and the underlying concrete tower segment at intervals, which are then used to receive tools for carrying out the pushing away operation. For example, it is also possible to combine these separately introduced holes with those produced by the melting or the melting of the concrete and / or the tendons, to perform at appropriate circumferential locations the gap or Wegdrückvorgang.

The driving of a wedge or splitting tool can be done, for example, hydraulically assisted. In particular, the driving in of a hydraulically assisted anther moving of wedges is advantageous.

The pushing away by means of hydraulic cylinders, which cause a force on the upper concrete tower segment by an extension in the vertical direction, may be an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive method.

In particular, in an exemplary embodiment, the respective method steps are performed from the outside of the concrete tower. As a result, there is sufficient working space for carrying out the method steps. In addition, protective measures against falling objects may be better possible than when the work is carried out on the inside. On the inside of the work space is limited.

The inventive method is particularly advantageous in that a base frame is mounted on the upper concrete tower segment and a work booth, which is rotatably mounted on the base frame, then on the outside at desired locations of the concrete tower can be placed to perform the individual steps. To adapt to the different diameters of the respective upper concrete tower segments, it may be advantageous to change the length of the trailer arms of a base frame and to adapt a diameter. Alternatively, it is also possible in an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention to adapt the inclination of support arms of the base frame with respect to a horizontal plane to the respective diameter of the upper concrete tower segment.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the inclination and / or the lengths of the trailer arms can also be changed in order to adapt the support to the different diameters of the concrete tower segments, which continue to increase downwards.

In a further exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention, the work booth is movable relative to the base frame via at least one winch relatively high in height, so that it can also be lowered to the ground to let workers descend and then raised again to the height of the base frame to become. In an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention, an upper concrete tower segment fastened to the base frame, which is in the meantime completely detached from the underlying concrete tower segment at the segment joint, can be lifted by crane together with the work cabin and parked on the ground.

Detailed description

In the 1 stands a concrete tower 1 a wind turbine on a foundation, not shown here in the ground 5 , The concrete tower 1 includes stacked concrete tower segments 10 , When in the 1 view shown are the top tower parts made of steel, the generator, etc. already dismantled. On the top concrete tower segment 10a is a working device 100 by means of a vehicle crane 200 on the upper face of the upper concrete tower segment 10a put on and fixed there. For example, the working device 100 about screws on the top concrete tower segment 10a secured but solvable. Here, advantageously, the existing threaded holes, for the assembly and disassembly of the concrete tower segments 10 already in the concrete tower segment are used to the working device 100 to fix.

In the method according to the invention, it is possible, the working device 100 from the rope 205 of the vehicle crane 200 to disconnect to the vehicle crane 200 perform other work on the tower. Alternatively, it is also possible to use the rope 205 for safety always on the working device 100 to leave. Should the working device 100 Wind or the like no longer on the top concrete tower segment 10a firmly fixed, so is the working device 100 over the rope 205 of the vehicle crane 200 still secured against falling down.

From the representation of 1 is also apparent that the different concrete tower segments 10 have different diameters. At the foot of the concrete tower 1 the diameter is the largest, the smallest at the top. The different concrete tower segments 10 are at a so-called segment joint 15 glued or pegged together.

As in particular from the representation of 6 it can be seen run inside the wall of the individual concrete tower segments 10 in the vertical direction tendons 20 , The tendons 20 consist of individual steel cables, which in turn consist of individual tension strands. That is, circumferentially in the vertical direction of tension strands or tension cables existing tendons 20 from the lowest concrete tower segment 10 up to the top concrete tower segment 10a stretched and extend throughout the individual walls. The tendons 20 hereby extend into the concrete reinforcement of the individual concrete tower segments 10 introduced pipes, which are mitvergossen. Usually the pipes are 25 with the tendons 20 poured with grout.

Consequently, when dismantling such a concrete segment tower 1 the technical problem of having to cut through various hard materials such as concrete and steel, around the individual concrete tower segments 10 Segment by segment and then by crane 200 take off and set down on the ground for further transport or alternatively for further comminution on the ground. Nowadays diamond wire saws or large saw blades are used in a complex manner to the concrete and the tendons cast therein 20 to saw out of steel.

An alternative may be the demolition, which is time-saving and less expensive, but not resource-saving. In this case, for example, the tendons are severed with a high-pressure water jet. Then explosive charges are placed in holes in the tower and ignited with a time delay. This can then be achieved that the tower falls in the intended direction. Often, however, location-based detonation is not possible.

According to the present invention, although the individual concrete tower segments are the first time 10 segmentally separated and by crane 200 from the underlying concrete tower segment 10 lifted, but the individual concrete tower segments 10 in a novel way separated from each other. Because of the blueprints, you know where the individual tendons are 20 circumferentially in the concrete tower segments 10 extend. It is according to the invention for the first time - preferably with the aid of an oxygen core lance 320 - at a segment joint 15 between the top concrete tower segment 10a and the underlying concrete tower segment 10b the concrete is melted from the outside at the point where a tendon 20 passes. The melting is then continued, even if the tendon 20 is exposed, so that also the tendon 20 and the individual steel cables or tension strands included therein are completely severed. This process is at the height of the segment joint 15 at every point of a tendon 20 repeated.

Of course, it is alternatively also possible to carry out a melting process at several such locations at the same time, thereby making the process even more time-saving.

Once all tendons 20 at a segment joint 15 are severed, at the same time or in succession tools are introduced at several suitable locations to the top concrete tower segment 10a from the lower concrete tower segment 10b push away. For this example, hydraulically operated wedges are used or generally hydraulic splitting equipment. Such splitting devices are sold, for example, by the company H. Bieri AG Maschinenfabrik, Switzerland. This company produces different splitting devices for splitting concrete or the like.

Preferably, the melting of the concrete and cutting the tendons 20 resulting holes at the segment joint 15 used to place the splitting equipment, then the top concrete tower segment 10a in sections from the underlying concrete tower segment 10b push away. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to provide a separately formed by melting or breaking out of concrete new hole for applying the gap or Wegdrückwerkzeuge.

The Nachobendrücken the concrete tower segment can then, for example, by cable support by means of the crane 200 preferably continuing with the uppermost concrete tower segment 10a connected. This is then the rope 205 of the crane 200 via suitable lifting gear with the concrete tower segment 10a connected. For example, those in the upper end edge of the concrete tower segment 10a existing threaded holes or specially created threaded holes used to bring appropriate stop means.

Once the top concrete tower segment 10a completely from the underlying concrete tower segment 10b at the segment joint 15 is separated, this can then by means of the crane 200 to the ground 5 be lowered.

According to the invention is thus by the local melting of the concrete of a concrete tower segment 10 at the segment joint 15 and simultaneously severing the tendons 20 and then pushing away the topmost concrete tower segment 10a from the underlying concrete tower segment 10b achieved a very effective disassembly process.

For example, the melting of the concrete and the severing of the tendons 20 done with the aid of a known oxygen lance. Oxygen core lances are well known for thermal separation of mineral and metallic materials. However, it has not been recognized that such a tool is excellent for disassembling concrete towers 1 of wind turbines is suitable.

The individual process steps are preferably by one or more persons at the height of a segment joint 15 between two concrete tower segments 10a . 10b carried out. This is the special working device 100 by means of the crane 200 on the top concrete tower segment 10a placed.

An exemplary first embodiment of such a working device 100 is in the 2 shown. This working device 100 includes a base frame 105 , here from four support arms offset by an angle of 90 ° 110 consists. Each support arm 110 is telescopic, and a telescopic arm piece 115 is in a respective pipe section 120 of the base frame 105 slidably guided. The adjustment of the length of a Auflagerarms 110 can be done by hand, for example. The adjustment would then preferably at slightly above the ground 5 raised working device 100 be done by a worker. The length of a support arm 110 is then fixed by means of suitable fixing means such as screws, bolts or the like .. Then then the working device would be on the top concrete tower segment 10a by means of the crane 200 be transferred.

Alternatively, it is also possible, the respective length of a Auflagerarms 110 set by electric motor, pneumatic or hydraulic. The corresponding drives are then preferably in the base frame 105 accommodated.

At the outer end of a telescope part 115 a support arm 110 There are bolts or other fixings available on the upper concrete tower segment 10a secure but detachable. For example, this again usually in such a concrete tower segment 10a existing threaded holes are already used when mounting the concrete tower 1 were present for attaching slings. Alternatively, it is also possible to use suitable clamping means or the like at the ends of the telescopic parts 115 provide, preferably on the front edge of the concrete tower segment 10a sit across.

The in the 2 shown working device 100 also has a on the base frame 105 centrally located central part 130 on. In the central part 130 is a rotation arrangement 135 a jib 140 arranged. The boom 140 is with the rotary assembly 135 firmly connected. Through the rotation arrangement 135 the rope extends 205 to the base frame 105 to post this there. One possible alternative is to use the sling rope 205 directly on the rotary assembly 135 to install. Then the other components of the working device 100 be designed so that the entire load on the rotary assembly 135 can be included.

The boom 140 extends from the rotating assembly 135 in the radial direction. In the present embodiment according to the 2 is the boom 140 again telescopically formed, and the telescope part 145 is in a fixed piece of pipe of the boom 140 movably arranged in the longitudinal direction and fixable at a suitable location. Due to this configuration, the length of the boom 140 changeable and in particular adjustable so that the outermost end of the jib 140 arranged work cabin 150 in a suitable working position on the outside of a concrete tower segment 10 can be positioned.

In the exemplary embodiment shown is on the telescopic part 145 a crossbar 155 arranged at the the working cabin 150 about rope suspensions 160 height adjustable adjustable. In the crossbar 155 One or more winches (not shown) can be accommodated to the rope suspensions 160 to change in length and thus the work cabin 150 opposite the crossbar 155 vertically adjustable in height. Preferably, these are electrically operated winches. The necessary electrical energy is supplied either via a not shown here emergency generator or via a power supply, as a cable over the crane 200 to the working device 100 is guided, delivered.

The work cabin 150 here consists of a cabin in which one or more people can work against falling down by appropriate fall protection etc. work. It should be emphasized that a protective shield 170 on the to the concrete tower segment 10 directed side of the work cabin 150 is available. This shield 170 has one or more openings to the oxygen core lance 320 through this opening to the appropriate location on the outside of the concrete tower segment at the height of the segment joint 15 to judge. At the same time it is the oxygen core lance 320 leading workers but protected from molten material.

When in the 2 As shown embodiment and schematic view, the oxygen core lance itself is not shown. This can, for example, the outside of the work cabin 150 , as in 4 shown to be appropriate. This will be explained later.

In the housing of the rotary assembly 135 For example, an electric or hydraulic motor may be disposed about the boom 140 with the working cabin attached to it 150 to turn around a vertical axis. At the in 2 embodiment shown fall the vertical axis and the sling rope 205 of the crane 200 together.

Opposite the boom 140 there is a counterweight boom 180 whose boom length may also be adjustable. By the counterweight, the lever forces on the rotary assembly 135 minimized as possible. In addition, the loads are also on the base frame 105 distributed as evenly as possible.

The 3 shows a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of a working device according to the invention 100 ' , Those components that the embodiment according to the 2 are the same, are provided with the same reference numerals and will not be explained further here. Their technical design and operation corresponds to those of the embodiment, as shown in the 2 is shown. In this regard, is thus on the execution of 2 directed.

In contrast to the embodiment, as in the 2 is shown in the 3 illustrated working device 100 ' in inclination to the central part 130 changeable support arms 110 ' on. The support arms 110 ' are about a swivel 190 so on the central part 130 arranged that they are each variable about a horizontal axis of rotation in their inclination. The inclination change is made by a boom each 110 ' associated hydraulic cylinder 195 set. The hydraulic cylinders 195 are this both in a central region of the central part 130 as well as on the respective support arms 110 ' articulated. This makes it possible, the support points of the four support arms 110 ' to the different diameters of a concrete tower segment 10 adapt. In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible, the support arms 110 ' in addition to the inclination adjustment also variable length to design.

The 4 shows a schematic perspective view of a work booth 150 , as they are known per se according to the 2 and 3 Part of a working device 100 respectively. 100 ' is.

The storage device 300 includes a rotatably mounted drum 305 between two spaced brackets 310 is rotatably mounted. The oxygen core lance 320 , which consists of a flexible jacket tube and core wires located therein, is guided by guide rollers 330 in the interior of the work cabin 150 guided and there through a hole in the shield 170 towards the outside of a concrete tower segment 10a respectively. 10b guided. An operator is thus within the work booth 150 readily able to continuously in appropriate places 30 the segment joint 15 to initiate the thermal melting process by performing the oxygen-core lance with the aid of oxygen stored inside the cabin.

Further details of the storage device 300 are the 11 to 14 refer to. That's how it shows 11 a side view of the work cabin 150 On the outside mounted storage device 300 , Within two spaced apart housing discs of the drum 305 is the oxygen nuclear lance 320 wound. As already mentioned, the oxygen core lance usually consists of a jacket tube and core wires located therein.
