Definitions

  • a corner connection in particular for a wind turbine tower
  • the present invention relates to a corner connection, in particular for a wind turbine tower, connecting four adjacent tower segments by portions inwardly bent along a horizontal or vertical direction, whereby the lengths of the inwardly bent portions along the horizontal or vertical direction are alternated and two inwardly bent portions along the horizon ⁇ tal or vertical direction form a butt joint.
  • Wind turbine towers consisting of steel segments are well known.
  • the segmentation may be horizontal and/or vertical relative to an erected tower.
  • Common wind turbine towers comprise vertically segmented steel segments which are con ⁇ nected to adjacent steel segments.
  • the connection of the segments to each other may be done in various ways, e. g. by bolted flange connections, bolted overlap connections and/or bolted splice plate connections.
  • wind turbine towers are further segmented by horizontally aligned connections substantially connecting a circular or polygonal shaped section on top of each other.
  • the connec ⁇ tion of the sections to each other may also be done in vari ⁇ ous ways, e. g. as bolted flange connections or bolted over ⁇ lap connections.
  • a wind turbine tower according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 2009/097858 Al .
  • each tower element has an outer surface and an inner surface, where the periphery of the tower element is made up of a num- ber of segments preferably made of steel, the segments are provided with inwardly facing flanges at the longitudinal sides, where these flanges are connected to corresponding flanges on laterally arranged segments.
  • the individual seg- ments are made with an overlap on the outer surface at the transverse joints and with a butt joint at the inwardly fac ⁇ ing flanges.
  • Wind turbine towers of large wind turbines are influenced by huge forces occurring from the weight of the nacelle and ro ⁇ tor installed on the top of the tower and from the aerody ⁇ namic influence on the rotor which in turn is transferred to the tower.
  • large forces are transferred through the connections and es ⁇ pecially at "corner" regions where adjacent segments and sec ⁇ tions meet.
  • a typical corner region comprises adjacent seg ⁇ ments connected at vertical connections and adjacent sections connected at horizontal connections.
  • this object is achieved in the above defined corner connection in that at least one splice plate is connected to the butt joint.
  • the splice plate improves the load transfer at the corners of connected tower segments, which is a weak point in conven ⁇ tional wind turbine towers. Due to the fact that the lengths of the inwardly bent por ⁇ tions along the horizontal or vertical direction are alter ⁇ nated a connection is achieved which is able to transfer the loads from one segment to an adjacent segment. According to a first embodiment of an inventive corner con ⁇ nection the portions may be inwardly bent along the vertical direction and the sections are overlapping horizontally. This embodiment is preferred for segmented wind turbine tow ⁇ ers .
  • the portions may be inwardly bent along the horizontal direction and the sections are overlapping vertically.
  • an inventive corner connection comprises two inwardly bent portions along the horizontal or vertical direction form a butt joint.
  • an inventive corner connection comprises two butt joints at displaced positions. The fact that the butt joints are spaced apart from each other reduces peak stresses.
  • bolted holes are provided near the butt joints.
  • the bolted connections ensure a sufficient load transfer across the corner connection.
  • the inventive corner connection comprises at least one splice plate connected to the butt joint.
  • the splice plate may be connected to the butt joint by bolted connections in order to improve the transfer of loads.
  • the invention relates to a wind turbine tower.
  • the segments are con ⁇ nected by corner connections as described.
  • FIG. 1 detail of an inventive segmented wind turbine tower
  • Fig. 2 is a detail of a non-inventive corner connection
  • Fig. 3 shows the corner connection of fig. 2 during installation
  • Fig. 4 shows the corner connection of fig. 2 during installation
  • Fig. 5 is a detail of an inventive corner connection.
  • Fig. 1 shows a detail of the lower part of a wind turbine tower 1 comprising segmented steel segments 2 which are connected to adjacent steel segments 2.
  • the wind turbine tower 1 is further segmented by horizontally aligned connections 3 connecting circular or polygonal shaped sections on top of each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of a corner connection 4 by which four single steel segments 5, 6, 7, 8 are connected together.
  • Each steel segment 5, 6, 7, 8 comprises an inwardly bent por ⁇ tion 9, 10, 11, 12 which is bent along the vertical direc- tion.
  • the sections 5, 8 and 6, 7 are overlapping horizontally.
  • An overlap connection is realized by holes 13 which are provided at the lower ends of steel segments 5, 6 and at the upper ends of steel segments 7, 8. Overlap portions are provided with holes 13, into which bolted connections are inserted.
  • Arrows 14 in fig. 2 indicate how the steel segments 5, 6, 7, 8 are engaged.
  • the vertical lengths of the bent portions 9, 10 of the steel segments 5, 6 are al ⁇ ternated to allow an overlap.
  • the bent portions 11, 12 of steel segments 7, 8 have alternated vertical lengths.
  • the bent portions 10, 11 of steel segments 6, 7, which are arranged on top of each other form a butt joint.
  • the bent portions 9, 12 of steel seg ⁇ ments 5, 8 form a butt joint.
  • the two butt joints are at displaced positions.
  • Fig. 3 shows the corner connection 4 during installation.
  • Steel segment 5 overlaps steel segment 8
  • steel segment 6 overlaps steel segment 7, the overlap connection is secured by bolts which are inserted through holes 13.
  • Bent portions 9 to 12 are bent approximately 90 degrees with regard to the steel segments 5, 6, 7, 8. Bent portions 9, 12 form a first butt joint, bent portions 10, 11 form a second butt joint, both butt joints are vertically displaced from each other.
  • through holes 20 are provided in the area of the butt joints. In fig. 3 only one through hole 20 is depicted, whereas plural through holes may be pre ⁇ sent .
  • Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of a corner connection 16 which is a further development of the corner connection 4 as depicted in fig. 2 to fig. 4.
  • Corner connection 16 connects steel segments 5, 6, 7, 8 with bent portions 9, 10, 11, 12, whereby bent portions 9, 12 and 10, 11 each form butt joints which are displaced from each other in vertical direction.
  • splice plates 17, 18 are used, which are posi ⁇ tioned on either side of the butt joints.
  • Connection of the splice plates 17, 18 to the butt joints is realized by bolted connections 19, comprising bolts, washers and nuts.
  • the in- creased stability of the corner connection 16 is effected by "diagonal" bent portions of steel segments, e. g. bent por ⁇ tions 9 and 11.
