Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power generation technology, specifically to a blade de-icing structure, a composite de-icing coating, and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power generation is a renewable and clean energy utilization device. Wind turbine blades, located at high altitudes, are highly susceptible to icing. Icing not only causes errors in wind speed and direction measurement, affecting power control of the wind turbine, but also leads to irreversible blade deformation, increased surface roughness, reduced torque and power output, and impacts aerodynamic characteristics. Furthermore, severe blade icing can cause large-scale wind farm shutdowns, resulting in significant power and economic losses. Therefore, exploring wind turbine blade de-icing technology is of great practical importance. Existing wind turbine blade de-icing technologies mainly rely on electrothermal de-icing. Traditional electrothermal de-icing is too energy-intensive (consuming 5-15% of power generation), has poor coating durability, and the gas-thermal approach affects aerodynamic performance. Therefore, inventing a new type of low-energy, high-efficiency active de-icing blade is essential.

[0003] When the ambient temperature of wind turbine blades is below 0℃, supercooled water droplets in the air collide with the surface of the blades, disrupting the internal equilibrium of the droplets and raising the freezing temperature. This causes ice to condense on the blade surface, forming icing (also known as icing), which deteriorates the blade's aerodynamic performance, reducing wind energy capture capacity and resulting in power losses of up to 50%. In severe cases, it can lead to wind turbine disconnection and shutdown, causing significant economic losses. Existing electrothermal de-icing systems have high energy consumption, accounting for 5-15% of annual power generation. Gas-thermal de-icing also suffers from high initial costs and high energy consumption. Electromagnetic beam de-icing methods include microwave de-icing, electromagnetic pulse de-icing, and laser de-icing. Microwave de-icing technology primarily achieves its effect by accelerating the thermal motion of molecules on the airfoil surface, thereby increasing the surface temperature of wind turbine blades. Electromagnetic pulse technology continuously energizes and de-energizes an electromagnetic coil, utilizing electromagnetic induction to vibrate and de-ic. However, these two methods may disrupt the airfoil surface flow field distribution, worsen aerodynamic performance, and pose a risk of lightning strikes, thus they have not yet been widely adopted in wind turbine blade de-icing. Ultrasonic valves are mainly used for aircraft blade de-icing. Mechanical de-icing is a highly efficient and energy-free de-icing technology, and therefore has been widely used. Compared to energy-intensive electric heating and gas heating de-icing methods, even with only a 3% de-icing efficiency, it can achieve 30 to 100 times the de-icing effect. Mechanical de-icing is mainly divided into manual de-icing and mechanical equipment de-icing. Manual de-icing can only be performed when the machine is stopped, and the vibration effect in the blade root area is poor, while also posing a safety hazard of ice ejection. The working principle of mechanical equipment (movable airbags, pneumatic belts) for de-icing is to compress gas into the mechanical equipment to cause the surface ice layer to break, and natural de-icing is achieved under the action of gravity and centrifugal force. However, the installation of equipment on the blade surface will deteriorate the blade aerodynamic performance and pose a risk of lightning strike.

[0004] Based on the current status of wind turbine blade anti-icing methods and technologies and their applications, how to achieve effective anti-icing of blades is a technical problem that existing technologies need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a blade de-icing structure, a composite de-icing coating and its preparation method, thereby solving the technical problem of how to achieve effective de-icing of blades in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite anti-icing coating, wherein silica nanoparticles are dispersed in an organic solvent to form a nanoparticle dispersion with a concentration of 1-10 wt%; subsequently, a low surface energy resin and a curing agent are added to the nanoparticle dispersion, and then the mixture is treated under an ice-water bath under ultrasonic conditions to obtain the composite anti-icing coating.

[0007] In any embodiment, the low surface energy resin is one or more of fluorinated polyurethane, fluorinated epoxy resin and polydimethylsiloxane; and / or, the treatment time under the ice-water bath condition is 10-60 min.

[0008] In any embodiment, the particle size of the silica nanoparticles is 20-200 nm; and / or the organic solvent is n-hexane or ethanol; and / or the mass ratio of the low surface energy resin to the silica nanoparticles is 100:(5-30).

[0009] In any embodiment, before adding the low surface energy resin and curing agent to the nanoparticle dispersion, the method further includes dispersing Fe3O4 in the nanoparticle dispersion.

[0010] In any embodiment, the amount of Fe3O4 added is 5-10 wt% of the mass of the organic solvent.

[0011] In any embodiment, before adding the low surface energy resin and curing agent to the nanoparticle dispersion, MXene nanosheets are added to the nanoparticle dispersion, wherein the amount of MXene nanosheets added is 2-3 wt% of the mass of the organic solvent.

[0012] In addition, the present invention also proposes a composite ice-repellent coating, which is prepared by the above-described method.

[0013] In addition, the present invention also proposes a blade de-icing structure, which includes, from top to bottom, a surface anti-icing layer, a heating layer, a heat conduction layer and a structural layer; the material of the surface anti-icing layer is the above-mentioned composite anti-icing coating.

[0014] In any embodiment, the heating layer is formed by interlacing orthogonally woven carbon fiber cloth to create a heating mesh layer with a mesh density of 5-20 lines / cm. 2 The heating layer located at the foremost tip of the blade has a higher grid density than other areas of the heating layer.

[0015] In any embodiment, the surface anti-icing layer is a surface anti-icing layer with a micron-sized protrusion structure.

[0016] In any embodiment, the micron-sized protrusion structure is obtained by the following steps: filling the mold with the above-mentioned composite anti-icing coating into a mold having a micron-sized periodic groove array, then coating the mold filled with the composite anti-icing coating onto a heating layer and applying pressure, then removing the mold, and then performing a curing process to form a surface anti-icing layer with a micron-sized protrusion structure.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention include: the construction of a micro-rough surface by silica nanoparticles, combined with a low surface energy resin, significantly reduces the adhesion between ice and the coating surface, thus reducing the basis for ice adhesion. Ultrasonic ice-water bath treatment promotes uniform dispersion of all components, preventing particle agglomeration. Simultaneously, the low-temperature environment reduces the risk of premature resin curing, ensuring batch-to-batch stability of the coating and reducing material waste during preparation. Based on the improved de-icing performance, subsequent de-icing does not require overcoming strong ice adhesion, significantly reducing energy consumption, thereby achieving effective de-icing and anti-icing of the blades.

[0021] The "range" disclosed in this application is defined by a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints and can be arbitrarily combined; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60~120 and 80~110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is also expected that ranges of 60~110 and 80~120 are also included. Furthermore, if minimum range values ​​of 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values ​​of 3, 4, and 5 are listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1~3, 1~4, 1~5, 2~3, 2~4, and 2~5. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "a~b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" indicates that all real numbers between "0~5" have been listed in this article; "0~5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is stated as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising" and "including" as used in this application can be open-ended or closed-ended. For example, "comprising" and "including" can mean that other components not listed may also be included, or that only the listed components may be included.

[0023] Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" is inclusive in this application. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, the condition "A or B" is satisfied by any of the following conditions: A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).

[0024] This specific embodiment provides a method for preparing a composite anti-icing coating. Silica nanoparticles are dispersed in an organic solvent to form a nanoparticle dispersion with a concentration of 1-10 wt%. Subsequently, a low surface energy resin and a curing agent are added to the nanoparticle dispersion, followed by treatment under ultrasonic conditions in an ice-water bath for 10-60 min to obtain the composite anti-icing coating. The low surface energy resin is one or more of fluorinated polyurethane, fluorinated epoxy resin, and polydimethylsiloxane. The particle size of the silica nanoparticles is 20-200 nm. The organic solvent is n-hexane or ethanol. The mass ratio of the low surface energy resin to the silica nanoparticles is 100:(5-30).

[0025] In some embodiments, before adding the low surface energy resin and curing agent to the nanoparticle dispersion, the method further includes dispersing Fe3O4 in the nanoparticle dispersion, wherein the amount of Fe3O4 added is 5-10 wt% of the organic solvent. Fe3O4 is a magnetic material that can generate eddy current heat under the action of an external magnetic field, thereby assisting the heating layer in raising the surface temperature of the blade and shortening the de-icing time.

[0026] In some embodiments, before adding the low surface energy resin and curing agent to the nanoparticle dispersion, MXene nanosheets are further added to the nanoparticle dispersion, wherein the amount of MXene nanosheets added is 2-3 wt% of the mass of the organic solvent; the MXene nanosheets are preferably Ti3C2T. X Nanosheets. The addition of MXene nanosheets can further reduce energy loss.

[0027] This specific embodiment also proposes a composite ice-repellent coating, which is prepared by the above-described method.

[0028] This specific embodiment also proposes a blade de-icing structure, which includes, from top to bottom, a surface anti-icing layer, a heating layer, a heat conduction layer, and a structural layer. The surface anti-icing layer reduces the initial amount of icing by thinning the ice; the heating layer provides active heating to melt the already iced layer; the heat conduction layer evenly transfers the heat from the heating layer to the surface to avoid local overheating; and the structural layer provides mechanical support to ensure the overall structure's resistance to wind loads and vibration.

[0029] In some embodiments, the surface anti-icing layer is made of the aforementioned composite anti-icing coating; the heating layer is formed by interlacing orthogonally woven carbon fiber cloth 21 to form a heating mesh layer with a mesh density of 5-20 lines / cm. 2 The heating layer, located at the very tip of the blade, has a higher mesh density than other areas. Orthogonal weaving refers to two carbon fiber cloths 21 laid at a 90-degree angle to form a mesh-like heating layer, ensuring uniform heating. The orthogonally woven (90° cross) carbon fiber cloth 21 heating layer has a high degree of adhesion to the blade structure, can withstand the centrifugal force during high-speed blade rotation, and prevents the heating layer from detaching; simultaneously, the carbon fiber cloth 21 has a high thermal conductivity, resulting in a fast heating response.

[0030] In some embodiments, the surface anti-icing layer is a surface anti-icing layer with a micron-sized protrusion structure; the micron-sized protrusion structure is obtained by the following steps: filling the above-mentioned composite anti-icing coating into a mold having a micron-sized periodic groove array, then coating the mold filled with the composite anti-icing coating onto a heating layer and applying pressure, then removing the mold, and then performing a curing process to form the surface anti-icing layer with the micron-sized protrusion structure. The micron-sized protrusion structure can reduce the contact area between the ice layer and the coating, further reducing the ice adhesion strength.
