Definitions
- This Utility Model application is to register a protector for the transport of wind generator towers that incorporates notable innovations and advantages over the current configurations of protectors used for the same purpose.
- Electricity generators from wind energy consist of a turbine associated with blades that rotate and on which the wind falls, and consequently transform wind energy into electrical energy; and that in turn the said turbine is supported on a tower.
- said tower is made of metallic material and has a hollow cylindrical or conical shape.
- the bases or ends of the towers are provided with a flange for fixing the turbine and fixing it to the base or pedestal.
- the protector for the transport of towers of wind generators object of the present registry, solves the aforementioned inconveniences, contributing, in addition, other additional advantages that will be evident from the description that is attached below.
- said protector specially designed for use in hollow cylindrical or truncated conical towers, which have a flange provided with a plurality of holes in each of its bases or ends, is characterized by the fact of understanding a coating that covers each of the bases or At the ends of the tower, some bushes to be disposed in the plurality of holes of the flange, each bushing presents guide means for the insertion of an axis, and a fixing axis that runs through the mentioned guide means.
- the guide means consist of a hole disposed in the center of the base of the bushing, in this way, the axis runs through said hole.
- the wall of the bushing has transverse cuts coinciding with cuts provided by the base of said bushing and extending from the central bore to the bushing wall. Thanks to the arrangement of these cuts the walls of the bushing yield in a widening movement when inserting and / or fixing the fixing axis.
- the fixing axis that runs through the guide means is formed by a rod of generally cylindrical shape, provided at the insertion end of means for fixing it, and presenting in its opposite end is a circular flat head, which protrudes from the end of the rod circumferentially, and of a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the socket bore.
- An embodiment of the means for fixing the rod arranged at the insertion end consists in a gradual narrowing of the diameter of the rod end. In such a way that the end of the rod is inserted in the bore of the base of the bushing by exerting pressure, said pressure displaces the walls of the bushing outwards, the bushing widens, fixing the same inside the orifice of the flange.
- a second embodiment would consist of the provision of a threaded rod, screw-like, and of an insertion end suitable for threading a shaft fixing thread. Threading is done from the outside of the bushing. Likewise, a hollow cylindrical bushing must be provided, as a stop, between the flat head and the insertion end.
- the bushing with the corresponding fixing axis must be mounted before being inserted in the hole of the flange. Once assembled, it is inserted into said hole and the stem is threaded from the circular head, so that the rod itself will be threaded into the fixing thread, exerting pressure, and consequently widening or yielding the walls of the bushing, and fixing this to the hole of the flange.
- the coating is a canvas that covers the entire diameter of each of the bases or ends of the tower.
- a protector specially designed for the transport of wind generator towers of easy handling and low cost is obtained.
- Figure 1 corresponds to an elevation view of the bushing according to the characteristics of the invention
- Figure 2 corresponds to a plan view of the bushing shown in the previous figure
- Figure 3 corresponds to an elevation and sectional view of the application of the protector of the invention
- Figure 4 corresponds to an elevation and sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the protector of the invention
- Figure 5 corresponds to an elevation view of the protector fixing axis
- Figure 6 corresponds to an elevation view of an alternative embodiment of the fixing axis.
- a preferred but not limiting embodiment of the invention consists of a protector for the transportation of wind generator towers, especially designed for towers hollow cylindrical or cylindrical type that have a flange provided with a plurality of holes in each of its bases or ends.
- the protector of the invention is characterized by comprising a covering (1) that covers each of the bases or ends of the tower (2), caps to be arranged in The plurality of holes in the flange, each bushing (3) guiding means (4) for the insertion of an axis, and a fixing shaft (5) running through the mentioned guiding means (4).
- the guide means (4) consist of a bore arranged in the center of the base of the bushing, in this way, the axis runs through said bore.
- the wall of the bushing (3) has transverse cuts (6) coinciding with cuts (7) that have the base of said bushing (3), and which extend from the central bore to the wall of the cap (3).
- the fixing axis (5) that runs through the guide means (4) is formed by a rod (8) of a generally cylindrical shape, provided at the insertion end of means for The fixing (9) of same, and having at its opposite end a circular flat head (10), protruding from the end of the rod (8) circumferentially, and of a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the hollow of the bushing.
- An embodiment of the means for fixing (9) of the rod (8) arranged at the insertion end consists in a gradual narrowing of the diameter of the rod end (8). Therefore, the end of the rod (8) is inserted into the bore of the base of the bushing (3) by exerting pressure, said pressure displaces the walls of the bushing (3) outwards, the bushing (3) widens, fixing the same inside the flange hole, (see figures 3 and 5)
- a second embodiment would consist of the provision of a threaded surface rod (8), as a screw, and insertion end suitable for threading a thread (11) for fixing the shaft. Threading is done from the outside of the bushing (3).
- a cylindrical and hollow bushing (12) must be provided, as a stop, between the flat head and the insertion end, (see figures 4 and 6)
- the bushing must be mounted
- the covering (1) is a canvas that covers the entire diameter of each of the bases or ends of the tower (2). (see figure 3 and 4)
