The stiff end of extensible member is connected in hoist support 1, and the extension end of extensible member can stretch out for hoist support 1, and when hoist 10 promoted to preset position department, the extensible member can stretch out towards the pinhole of unit part to insert in the pinhole, so can realize hoist 10 and unit part's connection, but not limited to this.
In an alternative embodiment, the spreader 10 may be attached to the tower 9 after the spreader 10 is lifted to the top of the tower 9, such that the weight of a single hoist of the hoist rope 3 is not too great, such as, but not limited to, the spreader 10 being attached to a side wall of the tower 9.
As an example, the present embodiment is described taking the example that the spreader 10 is connected to the side wall of the tower 9. The connecting piece 8 on the lifting appliance 10 comprises a torsion lock, the side wall of the tower 9 is provided with a pin hole matched with the torsion lock, in an initial state, the torsion lock is in an unlocking position, after the lifting appliance 10 is lifted to a preset height, the posture of the lifting appliance 10 is adjusted so that the torsion lock is inserted into the pin hole, and then the torsion lock is rotated until the torsion lock is in a locking position, and at the moment, the lifting appliance 10 is connected to the side wall of the tower 9.
Specifically, the step of mounting the unit components lifted by the spreader 10 on top of the tower 9 comprises fixedly connecting the spreader holder 1 with the side walls of the tower 9 or with a nacelle rear frame provided on the tower 9 such that the spreader 10 is connected to the tower 9 to keep the spreader 10 stationary and to avoid unintentional shaking of the spreader 10. Further, the lifting appliance 10 is connected to the tower 9, so that the lifting appliance 10 is prevented from being supported by a leasing installation ship, the leasing cost of the installation ship is saved, and the assembly cost of the offshore wind turbine generator set is reduced.
The free end of the hoisting winch rope 3 is connected with a unit component, the hoisting winch 4 is driven to release the hoisting winch rope 3, the hoisting winch rope 3 is lowered, and the unit component is conveyed to the floating crane ship 5.
Compared with the embodiment that the lifting appliance 10 and the unit components are lowered together, in the embodiment, the single carrying weight of the lifting winch 4 is not too large, the power of the lifting winch 4 is smaller, and the single carrying capacity of the lifting winch rope 3 can be slightly lower, so that the cost of the offshore wind turbine generator set lifting system is reduced.
In order to adjust the attitude of the spreader 10 during its movement, the spreader 10 is connected to the vessel 5 by means of a wind device by means of which the attitude of the spreader 10 in the air is adjusted, during which the hoist winch 4 of the spreader 10 is activated to wind the hoist rope 3 and hoist the spreader 10 to the top of the tower 9.
Optionally the step of dismantling the crew components at the top of the tower 9 and transporting them by means of the spreader 10 to the floating vessel 5 comprises fixedly attaching the spreader bracket 1 to the side wall of the tower 9 and hoisting the crew components to the floating vessel 5 by means of the boom 14.
The present disclosure provides a method of lifting an offshore wind power generation unit including a tower 9 and a unit member mounted on the top of the tower 9, the method including placing a lifting appliance 10 on a floating vessel 5, the lifting appliance 10 including a lifting appliance bracket 1, a lifting winch 4 fixed to the lifting appliance bracket 1, and a lifting winch rope 3 wound on a winch drum, bypassing the lifting winch rope 3 of the lifting appliance 10 around a lifting point 7 on the top of the tower 9 and connecting a free end of the lifting winch rope 3 to the lifting appliance 10, starting the lifting winch 4 of the lifting appliance 10 to wind the lifting winch rope 3 and lift the lifting appliance 10 to the top of the tower 9, removing the unit member on the top of the tower 9 and transporting the unit member to the floating vessel 5 by the lifting appliance 10, or mounting the unit member lifted by the lifting appliance 10 on the top of the tower 9.
