Definitions
- the present invention concerns a method of connecting two flanges mounted to segments (rings) of a pylon of a wind power installation together in force-locking relationship.
- Flange connections have long been known in the state of the art and are universally employed. In that respect screws are frequently used as connecting means between the flanges, the screws providing a force-locking connection between the co-operating connecting portions.
- an embodiment provides a flange connection and a method of making a flange connection which can be produced at a lower level of expense with the quality of the connection remaining at least the same.
- a method of connecting pylon segments of a wind power installation at the erection site of the wind power installation comprises: providing a flange on facing sides of two pylon segments; inserting a layer between the two flanges prior to connection of the segments; coupling the flanges together; decreasing a viscosity of the layer; and adjusting the coupling of the flanges; and increasing the viscosity of the layer.
- An embodiment provides that, before the flanges are placed one upon the other, a connecting layer is provided on one of the connecting flanges. That connecting layer is of a markedly lower viscosity after the flanges are connected for a time in a second period of time than in the first period of time prior to connection of the flanges and in a third period of time after connection of the flanges.
- a considerable time saving can be achieved if the layer no longer has to be applied to one of the co-operating flange portions on the building site itself, but that layer is already previously applied there.
- layer can comprise for example thermoplastic material (plastic material). That makes it possible to already ensure a uniform quality for the layer upon the manufacture thereof under controlled conditions and in that way the danger for example of inclusions of foreign material into the layer when working with it in the open air can be reliably eliminated.
- layer can be laid on the abutment face prior to transport of the individual sections of a pylon or it can be removed on the building site from a transport packaging and laid on the abutment face in such a way as to save time.
- the layer may be of a predetermined layer thickness of between about 0.1 mm and 20 mm, preferably between about 0.1 mm and 10 mm. Such a layer thickness is sufficient as that layer is intended to compensate for surface roughness and unevenness of the abutment faces but it is generally not intended to influence the transmission of force.
- means for influencing the viscosity of the layer In that way the layer can be transported to the site in a solid condition and incorporated there.
- the viscosity of the layer can be so changed that it is adapted to the surfaces of the abutment faces. That can be accomplished, for example, by heating wires being integrated into a thermoplastic material. As soon as the preformed layer or layers is or are incorporated, the heating wires are supplied with a current. Due to the increase in temperature the viscosity of the material falls and it is adapted to the surfaces against which it bears. As soon as the current is switched off the heating wires cool down and thus also cool the thermoplastic material and the material solidifies again.
- the layer or layer segments at least on one side are coated with an adhesive.
- the layer segments can be fixed in a predetermined position. Therefore the layer or the layer segments can already be laid on the abutment face during the production for example of a pylon section and then adhere to that abutment face so that unintentional displacement during transporting and during assembly is prevented.
- the adhesive can naturally prevent unintentional displacement.
- the sides of the layer or layer segments, which are coated with adhesive can be covered with a sheet or film in order to avoid unwanted soiling of the adhesive and thus impairment of its adhesion capability.
- FIG. 1 shows a flange connection according to an embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a flange connection according to an embodiment of the invention with an intermediate space between the co-operating connecting portions
- FIG. 3 shows a flange connection according to an embodiment of the invention with a post-worked intermediate space
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a transition between two segments.
- FIG. 1 shows two co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 of a flange connection 100 of two segments 102 , 104 of a pylon structure 106 .
- Those co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 are oriented towards each other with the abutment faces 3 , 5 and are connected together by a screw connection 6 to form a force-locking connection.
- a layer 10 (shown enlarged in the Figure). That layer 10 is arranged between the co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 and is at least temporarily deformable. In that way the surface structure of the co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 at the abutment faces 3 , 5 is exactly reproduced in the layer 10 so that it is certain to involve full-area contact.
- the layer 10 comprises a pressure-resistant material the transmission of force in that flange connection can now take place over the entire abutment faces 3 , 5 .
- the screw connection 6 is provided to make the force-locking connection between the two co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 .
- the layer 10 does not generally serve to make that force-locking connection but serves to compensate for surface irregularities.
- the layer 10 can be a pre-shaped, segmented or one-piece layer, for example comprising a thermoplastic material with incorporated heating wires 108 . After joining of the adjacent segments the thermoplastic material can be heated and thus made deformable. As a result it adapts itself to the surfaces of the flanges and retains that form after cooling, in which case it returns to its predetermined stiffness.
- FIG. 2 shows a flange connection according to an embodiment of the invention in which the layer 10 does not completely fill up the intermediate space between the co-operating connecting portions 2 , 4 .
- moisture can penetrate into the open intermediate space and cause damage there.
- flange connections have to transmit high levels of load, it is important for that flange connection to be protected from that.
- FIG. 3 shows that for example in the course of a post-working operation a filling material 11 is incorporated into those remaining intermediate spaces.
- That filling material 11 can be for example silicone which is used for filling up the intermediate spaces. In that way no moisture (and also no foreign bodies) can penetrate thereinto and the flange connection is thus protected therefrom.
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a transition between two segments in a number of examples.
- the transition between the two layer segments 10 illustrated is a rectilinear transition.
- the transition is stepped.
- the layer segments can be securely positioned in a simple fashion by virtue of that configuration.
- the layer segments 10 engage hook-like into each other so that the segments are also prevented from unintentionally slipping out of each other.
- the transition between two layer segments is of an arcuate configuration. That permits correction of the segment orientation in a particularly simple manner without in that case giving rise to unwanted spacings and thus air inclusions in the layer.
- Electrical contacts can be provided at the mutually facing ends of the layer segments 10 , which contacts connect together heating wires which are incorporated into the layer segments 10 (See heating wires 108 illustrated in FIG. 1 ). In that way the operation of arranging the layer can be simplified and speeded up.
- the present invention is not limited to pylons for wind turbines.
