Description

The invention relates to an assembly platform, in particular for the construction of tower segments of wind turbines, which is attached to the tower segments at several suspension points. Assembly platforms according to the current state of the art are usually attached to the respective tower segment at 3 or 6 suspension points, because the tower segments themselves usually offer up to 6 possibilities for attaching the assembly platform. Because it is faster to assemble and more cost-effective to manufacture, assembly platforms according to the current state of the art only have three telescopic suspension points. However, this has the disadvantage that the assembly platform can collapse if just one suspension point fails, as recently happened in an accident. To increase safety against a fall in the event of a suspension point failure, there are several options: a) Six suspension points are used again. b) Four suspension points are used. However, the following is a disadvantage of solutions a) and b): 1. Normally, the suspension points are evenly distributed around the circumference of the tower segment. With three suspension points, they have an angular spacing of 120°, or with six suspension points, an angular spacing of 60°. 2. With six suspension points, the assembly effort increases significantly because, when the stage is reconfigured, six suspension points must be loosened and then reattached. 3. While four suspension points increase the assembly effort somewhat, they significantly improve safety because if one of the four suspension points fails, the stage will still hang securely and cannot fall. 4. With four suspension points, a uniform angular spacing of 90° would be chosen. However, this would have the disadvantage that of the six suspension points present in the usual tower segments, only two of the four suspension points would fit within an angular spacing of 60°, and the remaining two would have an angular spacing of 30° to the suspension points on the assembly platform. The purpose of this invention is to create a simple yet safe solution for suspending the assembly platform without significantly increasing the cost of the assembly platform. The preferred embodiment of the invention, equipped with four telescopic suspension points, is shown in the following drawing: 1 Top view of the assembly platform according to the invention;
