Abstract

The invention relates to a method for constructing a mast for in particular off-shore wind turbines. The mast consists of a main tube and struts that project obliquely downwards therefrom and connect the main tube to lateral pointed feet, wherein both the main tube and the struts consist of tube segments intended to be welded to each other. The method is characterised in that the tube segment(s) of the main tube to which the particular struts welded, is/are dismantled into individual parts corresponding to the number of struts to be welded on, wherein said individual parts are placed, with the curvature thereof upwards, on the ground, after which the struts are joined to the segment(s) and finally said individual parts are again welded together to form the tube segment that is joined on to the main tube.

Diese Steel structures are typically designed in the form of a tubular framework.

Die Herstellung der Aushalsung ist eine stark handwerklich geprägte Tätigkeit. Manuelle Anpassarbeiten sind immer erforderlich. Die Herstellung wird um so schwieriger, je größer der Rohrdurchmesser ist. The production of the Aushalsung is a strong artisanal activity. Manual fitting work is always required. The production becomes more difficult, the larger the pipe diameter.
Der Durchmesser des Hauptrohres liegt im Bereich von etwa 6 m während der Durchmesser der Streben in etwa 2 bis 4,50 m beträgt und ihre Länge bis zu 25 m. The diameter of the main pipe is in the range of about 6 m while the diameter of the struts in about 2 to 4.50 m and their length up to 25 m.
Die Verbindung zwischen Strebe und Hauptrohr liegt somit in einer Höhe von etwa 20 bis 30 m. The connection between strut and main pipe is thus at a height of about 20 to 30 m.
Bei Masten vom TRIPOD-Typ sind drei um den Umfang des Mastes herum im spitzen Winkel nach unten verlaufende Streben an das Hauptrohr angeschweißt, die wiederum am unteren Ende an jeweils einem vertikal angeordneten Standfuß angeschweißt sind . For TRIPOD-type masts, three struts running down at an acute angle around the circumference of the mast are welded to the main pipe, which in turn are welded at the lower end to a vertical stand.
Die Rohrknoten, also die Verbindungen zwischen Strebe und Hauptrohr, können als reine Schweißverbindungen gestaltet werden. Ausgangspunkt sind zwei zylinderförmige Rohrsegmente mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser. Das im Durchmesser kleinere, an der Verbindung beteiligte Rohr (Strebenstummel) besitzt eine als Durchdringungs-, Verschneidungs- oder The pipe nodes, so the connections between strut and main pipe can be designed as pure welded joints. Starting point are two cylindrical pipe segments with different diameters. The smaller in diameter, involved in the connection pipe (strut stub) has a penetration, intersection or
Sattelkontur bezeichnete Form an seinem Ende. Die Herstellung derartiger Segmente und dieser Kontur wird in der bereits zitierten Druckschrift im einzelnen beschrieben. Saddle contour designated form at its end. The production of such segments and this contour is described in detail in the cited document.
Das Verschweißen beider Rohre geschieht dabei wegen der komplizierten Geometrie von Hand, was in der großen Höhe von über 20 m in der Handhabung einerseits und bezüglich der Sicherheit andererseites Schwierigkeiten macht. The welding of both tubes happens because of the complicated geometry by hand, which in the high altitude of more than 20 m in the handling on the one hand and the safety of others on the other.
Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art so zu führen, dass es sicher und weniger aufwändig durchgeführt werden kann, It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be carried out safely and with less effort,
