Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine blade repair, and in particular to a wind turbine blade repair robot system. Background Art
[0002] Currently, wind turbine blade inspection and repair rely primarily on manual labor, a method with numerous limitations. These methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also pose safety risks when working at height. Furthermore, because the repair process relies on the operator's skill and experience, consistent repair quality is often difficult to achieve, subject to significant variability and uncertainty, leading to extended repair times.
[0003] Therefore, developing automated wind turbine blade inspection and repair robots is not only a technological development trend but also a key step in improving wind farm operational efficiency and safety. Currently, most wind turbine blade robot research focuses on single-function automated inspection and repair robots. Automatic inspection robots include patents CN119861135A, CN119619229A, CN119527450A, CN119370358A, CN119412286A, and CN119062526A. Automatic repair robots include patents CN222386771U, CN118219292A, CN220312359U, CN116039134A, and CN109333995A. These robotic systems lack both automated inspection and repair capabilities, making them unable to independently complete the entire wind turbine blade inspection and repair process, resulting in cumbersome workflows and lengthy work schedules.
[0004] Therefore, a robotic system capable of automatically inspecting and repairing wind turbine blades is a development trend. Currently, there are some related studies, such as patents CN115533690A, CN115338860A, and CN118952247A. The robotic systems designed by these patents are capable of completing inspection and repair work, but these designs still have the problem of incomplete repair work. Basically, they can only repair some small defects. There is basically no puttying work, only simple grinding, spraying, and shaping work. When faced with larger and deeper defects, it is impossible to apply putty to fill the defects. In addition, the system carries fewer repair consumables and cannot perform large-scale repair work or large defects at one time. Repair consumables need to be frequently replenished, which increases the repair process and time.
[0005] Furthermore, existing wind turbine blade repair methods also have limitations. For example, methods such as those described in patents CN108544771A, CN105283303A, CN116587640A, and CN118404839A rely primarily on manual labor and can only be repaired by removing the blades, not in situ. In recent years, some semi-automated wind turbine blade repair methods have emerged, such as those described in patents CN116950858A, CN117634072A, and CN117634072A. However, these methods are unable to completely eliminate manual intervention and achieve fully automated blade repair.
[0006] This aims to address issues such as unstable repair quality and long repair times during manual wind turbine blade repair. Furthermore, in the equipment area, this aims to address issues such as the limited availability of equipment and the inability to repair large and deep blade defects in one go in current automated wind turbine blade inspection and repair robotic systems. Furthermore, in the repair method area, this aims to address issues such as the limited availability of automated wind turbine blade repair methods and the inability of existing automated blade repair methods to achieve in-situ repair, fully automated blade repair, and the ability to repair only one blade type and size, or one blade defect.
[0007] Based on the above issues, this case arose. Summary of the Invention

[0054] A repair method for a wind turbine blade repair robot system comprises the following steps:
[0055] S1 uses an RGB-D camera to identify defects in wind turbine blades through a defect recognition algorithm. The defect recognition algorithm is not the focus of this case, which mainly explains the actions of each module and the entire repair process.
[0056] S2, according to the spatial position and shape of the defect, completes the trajectory planning and execution of the defect grinding work, and realizes the removal of the defective part of the blade; specifically, controls the robotic arm 24 to realize the connection between the robot end quick-change disc 23 of the robotic arm module 2 and the end quick-change disc three 53 of the grinding and cleaning module 5, and completes the connection between the floating air grinding head 51 and the robotic arm 24. Then control the pneumatic flexible positioner three 54 of the grinding and cleaning module 5 and the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1 to loosen, and control the robotic arm 24 to remove the floating air grinding head 51 from the base plate 1. Then control the robotic arm 24 to reach the consumables warehouse 6 and install the sandpaper 7 on the floating air grinding head 51. Then control the robotic arm 24 to align the floating air grinding head 51 with the blade defect and grind according to the planned grinding trajectory to remove the defect.
[0057] S3, according to the polished blade area, completes the trajectory planning and execution of the cleaning work, and realizes the removal of the grinding chips retained on the polished surface; specifically, controls the robot arm 24 to reach the material changing device 9 to remove the sandpaper 7. Then controls the robot arm 24 to reach the consumables warehouse 6, and installs the scouring pad 8 on the floating air grinding head 51. Then controls the robot arm 24 to use the floating air grinding head 51 to clean the polished area according to the planned cleaning trajectory to remove the grinding chips remaining on the polished surface. After the cleaning is completed, controls the robot arm 24 to reach the material changing device 9 to remove the scouring pad 8. After removing the scouring pad 8, controls the robot arm 24 to put the polishing and cleaning module 5 back to its original place, controls the pneumatic flexible positioner 3 54 of the polishing and cleaning module 5 to clamp with the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1, and fixes the polishing and cleaning module 5 on the base plate 1.
[0058] S4, based on the cleaned surface, the trajectory planning and execution of the putty application work are carried out to complete the defective area of the blade; specifically, the robot arm 24 is controlled to realize the connection between the robot end quick change disc 23 of the robot arm module 2 and the robot end quick change disc 305 of the putty module 3. Then the pneumatic flexible positioner 314 of the putty module 3 is controlled to loosen the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1, and the robot arm 24 is controlled to remove the putty module 3 from the base plate 1. Then, based on the cleaned surface, the trajectory planning of the putty application work is completed. Then the robot arm 24 is controlled to align the flexible puttying plate 312 of the puttying module 3 with the blade defect and apply putty according to the planned puttying trajectory to repair the defect. First, the robot arm 24 is controlled to make the flexible puttying plate 312 contact the lower boundary of the defective area that needs to be repaired. Next, the push rod of the pneumatic cylinder 304 is controlled to extend, driving the guide slider 307 forward, thereby pushing the connecting rod 308 forward and clamping the flexible puttying jaws 309. This, in turn, allows the flexible puttying plate 312 to adhere to the leading edge of the blade to be repaired via the fingertips. The push rod of the electric cylinder 301 is then controlled to slowly extend, driving the plastic plug 313 to slowly squeeze out the putty from the putty storage tank 303. The robotic arm 24 is then controlled to slowly move the leading edge puttying repair device along the leading edge of the blade, ensuring that the flexible puttying plate 312 remains in contact with the blade's leading edge. After the puttying of the defect on the leading edge is completed, the push rod of the pneumatic cylinder 304 is controlled to retract, releasing the flexible puttying jaws 309 from contact with the blade's leading edge. Finally, the robotic arm 24 is controlled to return the leading edge puttying repair device to its original position, clamping the pneumatic flexible positioner 11, and disconnecting the quick-change plate 23 at the end of the robot. The robotic arm 24 returns to its original position, completing the puttying repair. The pneumatic flexible positioner 314 of the puttying module 3 is controlled to clamp with the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate module 1 to fix the puttying module 3 on the base plate 1.
[0059] S5, after the putty solidifies, the trajectory of the puttying work is planned and executed according to the area where the putty has been applied, so as to achieve the shape-matching repair of the blade repair area and make a smooth transition between the repaired part and the unrepaired part; specifically, the robot arm 24 is controlled to achieve the connection between the robot end quick-change disc 23 of the robot arm module 2 and the end quick-change disc 3 53 of the polishing and cleaning module 5, and complete the connection between the floating air grinding head 51 and the robot arm 24. Then the pneumatic flexible positioner 3 54 of the polishing and cleaning module 5 is controlled to loosen the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1, and the robot arm 24 is controlled to remove the floating air grinding head 51 from the base plate 1. Then the robot arm 24 is controlled to reach the consumables warehouse 6 and install the sandpaper 7 on the floating air grinding head 51. Then the robot arm 24 is controlled to align the floating air grinding head 51 with the repair area and polish it according to the planned polishing trajectory, so as to perform the shape-matching repair of the blade repair area and make a smooth transition between the repaired part and the unrepaired part.
[0060] S6, according to the polished blade area, completes the trajectory planning and execution of the cleaning work, and realizes the removal of the grinding chips retained on the polished surface; specifically, controls the robot arm 24 to reach the material changing device 9 to remove the sandpaper 7. Then controls the robot arm 24 to reach the consumables warehouse 6, and installs the scouring pad 8 on the floating air grinding head 51. Then controls the robot arm 24 to use the floating air grinding head 51 to clean the polished area according to the planned cleaning trajectory to remove the grinding chips remaining on the polished surface. After the cleaning is completed, controls the robot arm 24 to reach the material changing device 9 to remove the scouring pad 8. After removing the scouring pad 8, controls the robot arm 24 to put the polishing and cleaning module 5 back to its original place, controls the pneumatic flexible positioner 3 54 of the polishing and cleaning module 5 to clamp with the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1, and fixes the polishing and cleaning module 5 on the base plate 1.
[0061] S7. Finally, the trajectory planning for the spraying work is performed based on the repair area. The entire repair area is required to be sprayed with epoxy primer first, followed by two coats of polyurethane topcoat. The paint applied on the previous coat must have solidified before the next coat can be sprayed. Specifically, the robot arm 24 is controlled to connect the robot end quick-change plate 23 of the robot arm module 2 with the end quick-change plate 44 of the spraying module 4. The pneumatic flexible positioner 2 45 of the spraying module 4 is then controlled to release the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1, and the robot arm 24 is controlled to remove the spraying module 4 from the base plate 1. The robot arm 24 is then controlled to aim the two spray guns 41 of the spraying module 4 at the blade defects in sequence and spray the epoxy primer once and the polyurethane topcoat on both sides according to the planned spraying trajectory. After the spraying is completed, the robot arm 24 is controlled to return the spraying module 4 to its original position and the pneumatic flexible positioner 2 45 of the spraying module 4 is controlled to clamp with the pneumatic flexible positioner 11 of the base plate 1 to fix the spraying module 4 on the base plate 1. Then the robot arm 24 is controlled to return to its original position.
