Description

Description
A transport and storage assembly for wind turbine tower segments
The present invention relates to a transport and storage assembly for wind turbine tower segments.
Common wind turbine towers are sectioned in order to achieve manageable tower units, both in relation to transportation and to lifting. In WO 2004/082633 Al a method of
constructing large towers for wind turbines has been
proposed. In order to transport large size wind mill towers a steel tower is suggested, comprising a number of
cylindrical or tapered tower sections, whereby the wider sections are being subdivided into two or more elongated shell segments which combine into a complete tower section by means of vertical flanges tightened together by bolts. Said shell segments are provided with horizontal flanges to allow interconnection of tower sections one on top of the other.
In order to even further increase the handiness of the tower sections it is known to further split each section into tower segments. In EP 2 006 471 Al a wind turbine tower and a respective method for constructing a wind turbine tower have been disclosed. Each tower section is divided into segments which will be assembled by means of splice plate connections during installation. One advantage of this vertical
segmentation is that the segments can be stacked during storage and transportation and therefore do not require as much space as tubular sectioned segments.
As wind turbine towers nowadays are becoming larger and larger the handling of the components during installation has become an important aspect. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a transport and storage assembly for wind turbine tower segments which is easy to use and which enables a smooth assembly .
According to the present invention this object is achieved in the above defined transport and storage assembly in that it comprises a set of pintle tap holders and a set of segment carrying booms for being connected to a first end of a tower segment and a set of cross carrying booms provided with pintle taps and another set of segment carrying booms for being connected to a second end of the tower segment.
In general the inventive transport and storage assembly is a set of devices which when mounted and in use can carry a number of tower segments in an ordered and secure manner for transportation and storage. Basically the inventive
transport and storage assembly holds the tower segments in each end of the segments, further the single tower segments can be lifted easily with a lifting device from the transport and storage assembly.
The inventive transport and storage assembly comprises a set of pintle tap holders which are mounted to the end of the tower segments and a set of segment carrying booms which are able to receive the pintle taps of the pintle tap holders. This set of pintle tap holders and the set of segment
carrying booms is used for the first end of the tower
sections. On the opposite (second) end of the tower sections a set of cross carrying booms provided with pintle taps and another set of segment carrying booms is used.
In order to reduce the number of required components it may be envisaged in the inventive transport and storage assembly that the segment carrying booms for the first end and the second end are identical. Accordingly the segment carrying booms are interchangeable. According to a further development of the inventive transport and storage assembly the segment carrying booms may be provided with notches so as to be able to receive said pintle taps. When a tower segment is lifted the pintle taps can slide out gently of said notches so that the tower segments can be handled easily.
In the inventive transport and storage assembly a pintle tap holder can be attached to a tower segment by one bolt
connection. As only one bolt is sufficient a pintle tap holder can be mounted and withdrawn very fast.
In the inventive transport and storage assembly it is
envisaged that a cross carrying boom comprises one pintle tap on each end. The pintle taps are used for mounting the cross carrying booms at the segment carrying booms so that the cross carrying booms can be used as support for the second end of the tower sections.
In order to mount a wind turbine tower segment to a cross carrying boom it can be attached by at least one bolt. This bolt connection is particularly useful during transport of the segment carrying booms to an installation site.
In order to facilitate handling of the wind turbine tower segments a segment carrying boom of the inventive transport and storage assembly may comprise at least one wheel.
Preferably each segment carrying boom is provided with wheels or rollers.
The dimension of the inventive transport and storage assembly may be chosen such that it fits into a standard transport container .
The inventive transport and storage assembly may comprise a stabilization plate which is attached between the sides of two tower segments. This stabilization plate provides stability to a stack of tower segments when transported or stored .
The invention and its underlying principle will be better understood when consideration is given to the following description of a preferred embodiment.
In the accompanying drawings

inventive transport and storage assembly for the first end of a tower section; Fig. 2 shows pintle tap holders mounted to the first end of a tower section in an enlarged view;
Fig. 3 shows the inventive transport and storage assembly mounted to the first end of tower sections;
Fig. 4 shows the components of the inventive transport and storage assembly for the second end of a tower section in a perspective view, Fig. 5 shows the inventive transport and storage assembly mounted to the second end of tower sections;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the inventive transport and storage assembly and a stack of wind turbine tower segments; and
Fig. 7 shows the transport and storage assembly of fig. 6 when a segment is lifted.
The transport and storage assembly basically comprises of components for being fixed to a first end of a wind turbine tower segment and components for being fixed to a second end of wind turbine tower segments.
Fig. 1 to 3 show the components for the first end of wind turbine tower segments. In fig. 1 a pair of segment carrying booms 1 is shown. A segment carrying boom 1 is a vertical member provided with a number of notches 2 for receiving a pintle tap. Notches 2 of the segment carrying booms 1 are shaped such that pintle taps can be lifted from the notches.
Pintle tap holders 3 can be mounted to wind turbine tower segments 4 as shown in fig. 2. Pintle tap holders 3 are U- shaped and fixed to the wind turbine tower segment 4 by a single bolt 5, respectively. Each corner of the first end of the wind turbine tower segment 4 is provided with a pintle tap holder 3. A pintle tap 6 is protruding from both pintle tap holders 3 perpendicular to both sides of the wind turbine tower segment 4. The diameter of the pintle tap 6 is adapted to the size of the notches 2 so that the first ends of the wind turbine tower segments 4 can be stacked on the segment carrying booms 1. In fig. 2 one can see that a pintle tap 6 is provided with a fixed "washer" 7 which prevents a lateral movement of a wind turbine tower segment 4 once it is secured to the segment carrying booms 1.
Fig. 3 shows a stack of wind turbine tower segments 4. Each segment 4 is provided with pintle tap holders 3, whereby the pintle taps 6 are inserted in notches 2. In the shown embodiment one segment carrying boom 1 is able to carry six wind turbine tower segments 4, however, other embodiments are possible with a lower or a larger number of segments which can be carried.
The segment carrying booms 1 are provided with rollers 8 which facilitate handling of the stack of wind turbine tower segments 4 during installation. Fig. 4 shows the components of the transport and storage assembly for the second end of a tower section in a
perspective view. The components comprise segment carrying booms 1 which are identical to the segment carrying booms 1 as shown in fig. 1 and 3. Instead of pintle tap holders a cross carrying boom 9 is used which comprises pintle taps 10 at each end which is prepared to support the second ends of the tower segments. Pintle tap 10 is compatible to the pintle tap 6 of the pintle tap holder 3 as used for the first end of the tower segments. Accordingly several cross carrying booms 9 provided with the pintle taps 10 can be positioned between two opposite segment carrying booms 1 at the second end of the tower segments. Subsequently a wind turbine tower segment 4 can be positioned with its second end upon the cross carrying boom 9 so that the tower segment 4 is stored securely for transport.
Fig. 5 shows a detail of the transport and storage assembly with several wind turbine tower segments 4. Between two segment carrying booms 1 cross carrying booms 9 are
positioned and each cross carrying boom 9 supports a second end of a wind turbine tower segment 4. During transport a tower segment 4 can be attached to the respective cross carrying boom 9 by one or more bolts.
In order to obtain an even better connection between the segment carrying booms 1 and the cross carrying booms 9 a further fixing means may be used, e. g. a bolt or a
connection by bolts and nuts. However, it is preferred that no further fixing means is used.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the inventive transport and storage assembly 11 comprising the segment carrying booms 1 and pintle tap holders 3 at the first end of the wind turbine tower segments 4 and further comprising the segment carrying booms 1 and the cross carrying booms 9 at the second end of the wind turbine tower segments 4. In this position the transport and storage assembly 11 can be securely transported in a container or on a truck. As shown in fig. 6 a stabilization plate 12 is connected to a side of the wind turbine tower segments 4 in order to provide stability to the stack of tower segments 4. The
stabilization plate 12 is fixed by bolts which can be
attached and removed easily.
Fig. 7 shows the transport and storage assembly 12 when a wind turbine tower segment 4 is lifted. When a tower segment 4 is to be removed from the transport and storage assembly 11 a crane 13 is attached to the second end of a tower segment 4 which rests on the cross carrying boom 9 and this end is lifted by the crane 13. The cross carrying boom 9 stays in place as it is fixed to the pair of segment carrying booms 1. Until the tower segment 4 is lifted to a substantially vertical position the pintle taps 6 on the pintle tap holders 3 which are resting in the notches 2 of the segment carrying booms 1 of the first end are used as pivot points when the wind turbine tower segment 4 is lifted further. Due to the outline of the notches 2 in the segment carrying booms 1 the pintle taps 6 on the pintle tap holders 3 gently slide out of said notches 2 when the tower segment 4 has been lifted to vertical position and the wind turbine tower segment 4 can be further lifted by the crane 13. Afterwards the cross
carrying boom 9 is removed which gives place to lift the next tower segment.
The transport and storage assembly 11 is easy to use as wind turbine tower segments 4 can be fixed in the transport and storage assembly 11 by using only a very limited number of bolted connections and tools, therefore the process of establishing and removing the tower segments 4 from the transport and storage assembly 11 is easy and time optimal. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiment, the present invention is not limited by the disclosed examples from which the skilled person is able to derive other variations without departing from the scope of the invention.
