Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a platform system, in particular for the assembly of high hollow structures, such as towers.
  • High towers or masts such as those required for wind turbines, are often composed of transportable tower segments.
  • the individual segments are positioned with a crane.
  • a mounting platform inside the tower is needed.
  • Platforms are known which are arranged on already mounted segments. After each assembled segment, the platform is brought to the next higher position with a crane and fastened there again.
  • This design has the disadvantage that the platform can be arranged only at predetermined heights of the tower.
  • the repositioning of the platform after each assembly of a tower segment is complex and time consuming. With a crane, the platform can not be repositioned simultaneously while a new segment is attached and prepared for positioning. To save time, two cranes can be used, one for the platform and one for the segments. However, this is costly and expensive.
  • a platform system comprises at least one drive unit, at least one support and a first platform, wherein one end of the at least one support is movably connected to the first platform and another end of the at least one support can be operatively connected to a structure-side attachment element, wherein the at least one Drive unit acts on the structure-side fastening element for moving the at least one support along the structure-side fastening element.
  • a first structural segment such as an annular tower segment, which may consist of a one-piece ring or composite ring segments, a substantially vertically aligned fastener may be disposed on the structure.
  • fastening element with inclined inner structure of a tower segment can also be inclined accordingly.
  • the platform system can be mounted by the at least one drive unit is coupled to the fastener.
  • the fastening element is for example a rail and has, for example, hollow profiles, which are connected to one another by webs. In the webs openings are formed, to which the fastening element can be fastened with fastening means to the structure. Further, recesses are formed in the webs of the fastening element, in which a gear and / or a securing element can engage.
  • the first platform Due to the articulated connection of the first platform with the drive unit by the carrier, the first platform can be moved or pivoted relative to the drive unit. By pivoting or moving the position of the first platform with respect to the drive unit, or of the fastener and the structure can be changed. Thus, the area accessible by a user increases.
  • the first platform may be designed to be rotatable or pivotable about a substantially vertical axis. This allows the exact alignment of certain areas of the first platform with respect to the perimeter of the structure.
  • the platform may be distributed substantially uniformly distributed about the axis of rotation or it may be formed, for example, as a pivotable segment.
  • the ones from Power required by the platform system may be provided by an external power supply or the platform system may include its own power source, with an external power supply reducing the weight of the platform system.
  • the electrical and / or hydraulic energy required by the system may be provided directly or indirectly by a generator.
  • the platform system comprises at least two drive units and at least two supports.
  • the at least two drive units can be arranged on a common fastening element or on different fastening elements. In both cases, the mechanical load of each drive unit and each fastener reduces.
  • one or both of the supports may be formed telescopically.
  • the upper support can be telescopic, which can be followed by a displacement of the first platform, which results from the pivoting movement about a first joint of the drive unit. Since in this case the upper support does not have to absorb pressure forces, it could also be replaced by a cable system, which could only absorb tensile forces. A cable system is less heavy than a telescopic support.
  • the fasteners can be arranged arbitrarily to each other on the structure.
  • the fastening elements can be distributed on the inner circumference.
  • the two fasteners may be arranged opposite each other on the circumference of the structure. In this arrangement, neither the drive units, nor the supports or the platform need to record relevant holding moments.
  • a clamping unit can be provided between the drive units. The clamping unit pulls the drive units to each other and can follow changes in distance between the drive units.
  • a telescopic support or a pull rope can be arranged between the drive units.
  • the clamping unit can also be arranged between the supports and contract them. It is also possible to provide a plurality of superposed clamping units. For example, a first clamping unit may be provided on the drive units and a second clamping unit on the supports.
  • the described clamping units can be used together with all embodiments with two or more drive units or supports.
  • the platform system comprises three drive units and three supports, wherein each drive unit can be arranged on another fixing element.
  • the drive units, or the fastening elements can be arranged arbitrarily on the circumference of the structure. With a uniform distribution on the circumference to be absorbed by the drive units, the supports and the platform moments in each direction are negligible. The forces acting laterally outwards on the drive units can be counteracted with the clamping unit described above.
  • the first platform may extend uniformly outwardly with respect to the axis of rotation, or the first platform may be formed as a circular segment rotatable or pivotable about the axis of rotation.
  • the platform system further comprises at least one second platform and at least one cantilever arm, wherein the at least one second platform is pivotally connected to the first platform by the at least one cantilever arm.
  • the drive units with the supports and the first platform form a freely movable stable base on which the second platform is movably arranged by means of extension arms.
  • extension arms For example, two mutually articulated boom arms are provided. It is also possible to provide three or four articulated or movably connected extension arms.
  • the extension arms can optionally be telescopic.
  • the cantilever arms together with the second platform are rotatable relative to the first platform about a substantially vertical axis.
  • This construction with the articulated or movable boom arms and the second platform allows a mode of operation as with a slewing platform.
  • any locations can be approached above, below and laterally of the first platform with the second platform.
  • the supports are strongly spread and the distance of the center of the first platform to the tower wall is large.
  • the cantilevered arm located on the first platform may be oriented substantially horizontally and the subsequent cantilevered arms may be aligned sideways so that the tower wall with the second platform is easily accessible.
  • the cantilever arm located on the platform can be horizontally aligned and the subsequent cantilever arms can be oriented downwards so that the second platform can be positioned laterally below the first platform. This position allows easy entry and exit.
  • an upper region of the tower which has a smaller inner diameter, which can be to the first Platform subsequent boom and the subsequent boom arms are erected so that they require less space laterally.
  • the at least one support is telescopic or the at least one support and the at least one extension arm are telescopic. It is also conceivable to make all supports and extension arms telescopic.
  • the telescoping provides additional degrees of freedom in the orientability of the first and / or the second platform. For example, at a same height position of all drive units, two of the three supports can be extended and the third support retracted, moving the first platform in the direction of the third support away from the tower centerline.
  • a control unit is provided with which the drive units can be moved synchronously with each other.
  • the drive units can be moved different from each other.
  • two drive units can be moved upwards and the third drive unit remains stationary. This results in a pivoting movement of the first platform about the hinge in the fixed drive unit, whereby the second platform is moved to the side of the stationary drive unit.
  • the first platform can thus be arranged arbitrarily in the interior of the tower.
  • Each drive unit may comprise at least one guide wheel and at least one gear for engagement with the corresponding rail as a fastening element.
  • Each drive unit may comprise at least one securing element for engagement with the corresponding rail.
  • a drive can be integrated. This design has proven very useful in other drive units with a high safety standard.

  • the removed rails can be reused in a subsequent tower assembly.
  • all rails or even individual rail tracks can be left on the structure or the building.
