Description

本発明は、例えば風力発電装置の塔体のように下側の鋼管の上端部に設けられた下水平フランジ部と、上側の鋼管の下端部に設けられた上水平フランジ部をボルト及びナットによって接合して前記鋼管同士を接合してなるタワー構造体の制振装置及び該制振装置を設置したタワー構造体に関する。   In the present invention, for example, a lower horizontal flange provided at the upper end of the lower steel pipe like a tower of a wind power generator and an upper horizontal flange provided at the lower end of the upper steel by bolts and nuts The present invention relates to a damping device for a tower structure formed by joining together steel pipes and a tower structure on which the damping device is installed.

鋼管同士をフランジ接合したタワー構造体として、例えば図10に示すような風力発電設備51の塔体53がある。
このような風力発電設備51の塔体53は、上下に配置された複数の鋼管の鋼管端部に形成された内向きの下水平フランジ部55(断面L型フランジ)と上水平フランジ部57をボルト59及びナット61によってボルト接合されて形成されている(図11、図12参照)。
As a tower structure in which steel pipes are flange-joined, for example, there is a tower 53 of a wind power generation facility 51 as shown in FIG.
The tower body 53 of such a wind power generation facility 51 is formed by inward lower horizontal flange portions 55 (cross-sectional L-shaped flanges) and upper horizontal flange portions 57 formed at the steel pipe ends of a plurality of steel pipes arranged vertically. It is formed by bolting with a bolt 59 and a nut 61 (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

塔体の頂部に重量の大きいナセルを搭載するため、頂部を腹とするような1次モードが卓越し、強風時や地震時には頂部が大きく振動して損傷や倒壊する危険性がある。また、供用期間中の繰り返し荷重により、疲労破壊が発生する危険性がある。   Since a heavy nacelle is mounted on the top of the tower body, the primary mode with the top facing the top is prominent, and there is a risk that the top vibrates greatly and may be damaged or collapsed in a strong wind or earthquake. In addition, there is a risk that fatigue failure may occur due to repeated loading during the service period.

上記のように、塔体は鋼管をボルト接合しただけの単純な構造であるため、塔体そのものの構造減衰は極めて低い。非特許文献1によると、実測値から同定された1次モードの減衰定数は0.2%程度である(非特許文献1参照)。
そのため、塔体に別途制振装置を設けて振動を抑制する必要がある。
As described above, since the tower has a simple structure in which steel pipes are simply bolted, the structural damping of the tower itself is extremely low. According to Non-Patent Document 1, the damping constant of the first-order mode identified from the measured value is about 0.2% (see Non-Patent Document 1).
Therefore, it is necessary to provide vibration control separately in the tower to suppress the vibration.

風力発電設備の塔体の風や地震による振動を抑制する方法としては、頂部のナセル内部にAMD(アクティブ・マス・ダンパー)やTMD(チューンド・マス・ダンパー)を設置する方法が一般的である。   As a method of suppressing the wind and earthquake vibration of the tower of wind power generation equipment, the method of installing AMD (active mass damper) and TMD (tuned mass damper) inside the nacelle at the top is general .

また、ビルや家屋等の建築物では、骨組み内に摩擦ダンパーを設置することにより、風や地震による振動を吸収する手法がある。
摩擦ダンパーの例としては、例えば特許文献1に「接合部の制振構造」として開示されており、具体的には「相対移動自在に重ねられた2つの部材と、前記2つの部材に圧接力を付勢する圧接力付勢部材と、を有し、前記2つの部材が振動により相対移動するときに生じる摩擦力により、前記振動のエネルギーが吸収され、前記2つの部材の相対移動量が所定の値を超えたときに前記摩擦力が生じる部位の摩擦係数が低下することを特徴とする接合部の制振構造。」(特許文献1の請求項1参照)というものである。
In addition, in buildings such as buildings and houses, there is a method of absorbing vibration caused by wind or earthquake by installing a friction damper in a framework.
An example of the friction damper is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 as "damping structure of joint portion", and more specifically, "two members stacked so as to be movable relative to each other, and a pressing force to the two members" A pressing force biasing member for biasing the friction force generated when the two members move relative to each other by vibration, the energy of the vibration is absorbed, and the relative moving amount of the two members is determined The vibration control structure of the joint portion is characterized in that the coefficient of friction of the portion where the frictional force is generated is lowered when the value of the above is exceeded. "(See claim 1 of Patent Document 1).

また、制振装置ではないが、フランジ接合部の補強方法としては、例えば特許文献2に記載された「フランジ補強治具」がある。
この「フランジ補強治具」は、フランジ接合部をまたぐようにフランジ周方向に間隔をおいて配される複数の補強部材と、フランジ部背面付根部分に当接した状態で、前記補強部材によりフランジ部背面に押し当てられる当て部材と、前記複数の補強部材を管体に固定するためのリング状の締付部材とからなるというものである。
Moreover, although it is not a damping device, as a reinforcement method of a flange joint part, there exists "a flange reinforcement jig | tool" described, for example in patent document 2. FIG.
The “flange reinforcing jig” is a flange formed by the reinforcing member in a state of being in contact with a plurality of reinforcing members spaced in the circumferential direction of the flange so as to straddle the flange joint and the flange rear surface root portion. It consists of an abutment member pressed against the back surface of the part and a ring-shaped clamping member for fixing the plurality of reinforcing members to the pipe body.

ナセル内部にAMDやTMDを設置する方法では、塔体とは別に設備を設置することになり、高コストである。また、ナセル内の空間を制振装置が占領するため、定期点検やトラブル対応時の作業に支障が出るという問題もある。   The method of installing AMD and TMD inside the nacelle means installing equipment separately from the tower, which is expensive. In addition, since the vibration control device occupies the space in the nacelle, there is also a problem that the operation at the time of periodic inspection and trouble solution may be disturbed.

また、特許文献1に開示された摩擦ダンパーは建物の上下に設けるものであり、摩擦ダンパーそのものが大きい。他方、塔体内部が非常に狭隘であり、特許文献1に開示されている摩擦ダンパーのような大型の装置を設置することはスペース面で無理があり、点検等の作業に支障が出る可能性もある。   Moreover, the friction damper disclosed by patent document 1 is provided in the upper and lower sides of a building, and the friction damper itself is large. On the other hand, the inside of the tower is very narrow, and installing a large device such as the friction damper disclosed in Patent Document 1 is unreasonable in terms of space, which may cause problems in inspection and the like. There is also.

また、特許文献2に記載のものは、フランジ部を補強するものであり、制振作用を期待することはできない。   Moreover, the thing of the patent document 2 reinforces a flange part, and can not expect a damping effect | action.

本発明はかかる課題を解決するためになされたものであり、タワー構造体のフランジ接合部のような狭い空間に設置可能で、かつ簡単な機構を有し、効率的にタワー構造体の制振ができるタワー構造体の制振装置、及び該制振装置を設置したタワー構造体を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and can be installed in a narrow space such as a flange joint of a tower structure, and has a simple mechanism, and efficiently controls the vibration of the tower structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vibration control device for a tower structure that can perform the motion control, and a tower structure provided with the vibration control device.

前述のように、風力発電設備51の塔体53は、図12に示すように、鋼管端部に形成された内向きの下水平フランジ部55(断面L型フランジ)と上水平フランジ部57をボルト59及びナット61によってボルト接合されている。
このため、塔体53に風荷重や自身等によって振動が生じた場合、図13に示すように、フランジ部が開き、その後、図14に示すように開いたフランジ部が閉じるような挙動が生ずる。
そこで、発明者は、この挙動に追従して滑り摩擦が生ずるように摩擦ダンパーを設置することで、振動エネルギーを吸収して、制振作用を発現できると考えた。
本発明はこのような知見に基づくものであり、具体的には以下の構成からなるものである。
As described above, as shown in FIG. 12, the tower 53 of the wind power generation facility 51 includes the inward lower horizontal flange 55 (L-shaped flange in cross section) and the upper horizontal flange 57 formed at the end of the steel pipe. It is bolted by a bolt 59 and a nut 61.
For this reason, when vibration is generated in the tower 53 due to wind load or itself, as shown in FIG. 13, the flange portion opens and then the opened flange portion closes as shown in FIG. .

In order to form the friction surface 19, the inner surface of the upward extending portion 11 and the outer surface of the downward extending portion 15 are arcs of concentric circles. ← Please consider the appropriateness.
The friction surface 19 may be formed by bringing the outer surface of the upward extending portion 11 and the inner surface of the downward extending portion 15 into contact with each other.

<ボルト及びナット>
ボルト7は、下側部材13、上側部材17、下水平フランジ部3及び上水平フランジ部5のボルト挿通孔に挿通され、ナット9によって締結され、これによってフランジ接合部を構成すると共に制振装置1をフランジ接合部に固定する機能を有する。
ボルト7は、タワー構造体の下水平フランジ部3と上水平フランジ部5を固定するボルトと同径で、長さが長いものである。そして、大型の風力発電設備の場合、ボルト径は30〜50mmであるため、ボルト7はこのボルト径と同径のものであることが必要である。
<Bolt and nut>
The bolt 7 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole of the lower member 13, the upper member 17, the lower horizontal flange portion 3 and the upper horizontal flange portion 5, and is tightened by the nut 9 to thereby form a flange joint portion and a damping device It has the function of fixing 1 to the flange joint.
The bolt 7 has the same diameter as the bolt for fixing the lower horizontal flange portion 3 and the upper horizontal flange portion 5 of the tower structure, and has a long length. And in the case of a large-sized wind turbine, since the bolt diameter is 30 to 50 mm, the bolt 7 needs to have the same diameter as the bolt diameter.

<制振装置の配置>
制振装置1の配置に関し、上水平フランジ部5と下水平フランジ部3を結合するボルト7を図11のように均等配置するのではなく、例えば図3に示すように、周方向で2本ずつを一つの組みとして、組となっているボルト7同士の間隔が狭く、組同士の間の間隔が広いような不連続なボルト配置をすると、間隔の広い組同士の間の変形が大きくなる。そこで、このようなこの変形量の大きい箇所に本発明による制振装置1を取り付けることで、効率的に減衰効果を増加させることが可能である。なお、図3においては、制振装置1を固定するボルト7は図示を省略している。
<Placement of vibration control device>
Regarding the arrangement of the vibration damping device 1, instead of evenly arranging the bolts 7 connecting the upper horizontal flange portion 5 and the lower horizontal flange portion 3 as shown in FIG. 11, for example, as shown in FIG. Discontinuous bolt arrangement in which the distance between the bolts 7 in a pair is narrow and the distance between the pairs is wide, with each pair being as one set, the deformation between the widely spaced pairs becomes large . Therefore, by attaching the damping device 1 according to the present invention to such a portion where the amount of deformation is large, it is possible to efficiently increase the damping effect. In addition, in FIG. 3, the bolt 7 which fixes the damping device 1 is abbreviate | omitting illustration.

<作用の説明>
風荷重が作用すると、上述したように、上水平フランジ部5及び下水平フランジ部3は変形し、上水平フランジ部5と下水平フランジ部3の基部が開こうとし、次にこの開きが閉じようとする。
前記基部が開いたときには、図4に示すように、制振装置1の上側部材17の基部側が持ち上げられる一方下側部材13の基部側が押し下げられるため、上向延出部11は上方に向かって移動し、逆に下向延出部15は下方に向かって移動する。
他方、前記基部が閉じるときには、上記の逆の動きによって、上向延出部11は下方に向かって移動し、逆に下向延出部15は上方に向かって移動する。
そして、上向延出部11と下向延出部15の互いに反対の上下移動の際に、両者は摩擦面19で摺動して滑り摩擦によって振動エネルギーを吸収する。
<Description of action>
When a wind load is applied, as described above, the upper horizontal flange 5 and the lower horizontal flange 3 are deformed, the bases of the upper horizontal flange 5 and the lower horizontal flange 3 try to open, and then the opening is closed. I will try.
When the base portion is opened, as shown in FIG. 4, the base side of the upper member 17 of the vibration damping device 1 is lifted and the base side of the lower member 13 is pushed down, so the upward extending portion 11 goes upward It moves, conversely, the downward extension 15 moves downward.
On the other hand, when the base is closed, the upward extension 11 moves downward and the downward extension 15 moves upward due to the reverse movement described above.
Then, when the upward extending portion 11 and the downward extending portion 15 move up and down opposite to each other, both slide on the friction surface 19 and absorb vibration energy by sliding friction.

以上のように、本実施の形態の制振装置1は、タワー構造体のフランジ接合部に簡易かつコンパクトに取り付け可能な形状を有するため装置そのものが非常に小型であり、設置に大きな空間を必要とせず、構造体の振動を減衰させる効果を奏することができる。
また、上側部材17と下側部材13に、それぞれ設置状態で同軸上となる少なくとも2個のボルト挿通孔を設けているので、タワー構造体のフランジ接合部に用いるボルト孔をそのまま利用できる。
As described above, the vibration damping device 1 of the present embodiment has a shape that can be easily and compactly attached to the flange joint of the tower structure, and the device itself is very compact, and a large space is required for installation. However, the vibration of the structure can be damped.
Further, since the upper member 17 and the lower member 13 are provided with at least two bolt insertion holes coaxial with each other in the installed state, the bolt holes used for the flange joint portion of the tower structure can be used as it is.

なお、図5に示すように、上向延出部11と下向延出部15に縦方向に長い長穴21を設け、長穴21に上向延出部11と下向延出部15を圧接して両者が離れるのを防止する圧接部材としての圧接用ボルト・ナット23を設けるようにしてもよい。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, long holes 21 long in the vertical direction are provided in the upper extending portion 11 and the lower extending portion 15, and the upper extending portion 11 and the lower extending portion 15 are provided in the long hole 21. A pressure contact bolt or nut 23 may be provided as a pressure contact member for pressure contact to prevent the two from separating.

[実施の形態2]
本実施の形態を図6〜図8に基づいて以下に説明するが、図6〜図8において実施の形態1と同一部分や対応する部分には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
本実施の形態の制振装置25は、図6〜図8に示すように、下側部材27が下基部板29と、下基部板29に溶接接合された2枚の下L字状板31とからなり、上側部材33が上基部板35と上基部板35に溶接接合された上L字状板37からなるものである。
Second Embodiment
The present embodiment will be described below based on FIGS. 6 to 8, but in FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 6-8, the vibration damping device 25 of the present embodiment includes two lower L-shaped plates 31 in which the lower member 27 is welded to the lower base plate 29 and the lower base plate 29. And the upper member 33 is composed of the upper base plate 35 and the upper L-shaped plate 37 welded to the upper base plate 35 by welding.

2枚の下L字状板31は、下水平フランジ部3の周方向に所定の隙間を介して下水平片部32が下基部板29に溶接接合され、上方に延出する上向延出部としての上向片部39には上下に長い長穴41が形成されている。
また、上L字状板37の上水平片部38は上基部板35に溶接接合され、下方に延出する下向延出部としての下向片部43には上下に長い長穴45が形成されると共に下向片部43は2枚の上向片部39の隙間に挿入されている。
上向片部39及び下向片部43の長穴41、45には、図6に示すように、圧接用ボルト・ナット23が設けられ両者が圧接するようにしている。
The two lower L-shaped plates 31 extend upward, with the lower horizontal piece 32 welded to the lower base plate 29 with a predetermined gap in the circumferential direction of the lower horizontal flange 3 and extending upward. Long upward holes 41 are formed in the upper facing piece 39 as a part.
The upper horizontal piece 38 of the upper L-shaped plate 37 is joined by welding to the upper base plate 35, and the downward piece 43 as a downward extending part extending downward is a long hole 45 long vertically. While being formed, the downward piece 43 is inserted into the gap between the two upward pieces 39.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the elongated holes 41 and 45 of the upward facing piece 39 and the downward facing piece 43, a pressure contact bolt / nut 23 is provided so that both are in pressure contact.

本実施の形態の制振装置25の基本的な作用は実施の形態1と同様であるが、本実施の形態の制振装置25においては、下向片部43の両面が摩擦面19となり、効率的なエネルギー吸収ができる。また、下向片部43を2枚の上向片部39で挟持するようにしているので、両者の接触を安定して行わせることができるので、エネルギー吸収を安定的に行うことができるという効果を奏する。   The basic action of damping device 25 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, but in damping device 25 of the present embodiment, both surfaces of downward piece 43 serve as friction surfaces 19. Efficient energy absorption. Further, since the downward facing piece portion 43 is held between the two upward facing piece portions 39, it is possible to stably make contact between the two, so that energy absorption can be stably performed. Play an effect.

なお、上記の実施の形態1、2の説明では、フランジ接合部の全周に亘って制振装置1、25を設ける例を示したが、風力発電設備のように卓越する風向が限定されている場合、振動の発生する方向は限定される。そして、卓越風向は既存の風況観測データに基づき特定することができるので、その方向が特定できれば、振動の方向が明確になる。このような場合には、図9に示すように、フランジ接合部の全周ではなく、周方向の特定の領域に局所的に制振装置1を設置することで、効率的な構造減衰向上が可能になる。   In the above description of the first and second embodiments, an example in which the damping devices 1 and 25 are provided over the entire circumference of the flange joint portion is shown, but the predominant wind direction is limited as in a wind power generation facility. If so, the direction in which the vibration occurs is limited. And since the dominant wind direction can be specified based on the existing wind condition observation data, if the direction can be specified, the direction of vibration becomes clear. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 9, efficient installation of structural damping can be achieved by locally installing the damping device 1 in a specific region in the circumferential direction, rather than the entire periphery of the flange joint. It will be possible.

また、本発明による制振装置1、25は、タワー構造体の高さ方向の全てのフランジ接合部に設置する必要はなく、高さ方向に偏分布させて設置することが可能である。
タワー構造体のフランジ接合部の中でも、変形量の大きい部分であるほど、本発明の制振効果は大きい。その意味で、曲げモーメントが大きく、かつ断面係数の小さい層のフランジ接合部に設けるのが最も効果的である。
そして、本発明の制振装置1、25は、フランジ接合部を挟むようなごく小さい形状であるため、所望の箇所に設置が可能であり、極めて効率的である。
Furthermore, the vibration damping devices 1 and 25 according to the present invention do not have to be installed at all flange joints in the height direction of the tower structure, and can be installed with a biased distribution in the height direction.
The damping effect of the present invention is larger as the deformation amount is larger in the flange joint of the tower structure. In that sense, it is most effective to provide a flange joint of a layer having a large bending moment and a small cross section coefficient.
And since the damping devices 1 and 25 of this invention are very small shapes which pinch a flange junction part, installation is possible at a desired location and is very efficient.
