Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of blade processing, and particularly relates to an automatic blade post-processing intelligent device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wind power generation refers to converting the kinetic energy of wind into electric energy. Wind energy is a clean and renewable energy source and has been used by people for a long time, mainly through windmills to pump water and grind flour. People are interested in how to use wind to generate electricity. Wind power generation is very environmentally friendly, and the amount of wind energy is huge, so it is increasingly valued by countries around the world. A wind turbine generally comprises a wind wheel, a generator, a direction adjuster, a tower, a speed-limiting safety mechanism, and an energy storage device. The working principle of a wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind wheel rotates under the action of wind force, which converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy of the wind wheel shaft. The generator rotates to generate electricity under the driving of the wind wheel shaft. In a broad sense, wind energy is also solar energy, so the wind turbine can also be regarded as a heat energy utilization generator with the sun as the heat source and the atmosphere as the working medium. The blades of the wind turbine are currently mainly made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber materials. A small part of the blades with a relatively low service life are made of steel or aluminum alloy.

[0003] The wind turbine blade is the most basic and core component of a wind power generation system. Good design, reliable quality, and superior performance are decisive factors for ensuring the normal and stable operation of the unit. In order to generate more power for the power generation system, the wind turbine blade will also become larger and larger. For example, a million megawatt wind turbine blade needs to be tens of meters or more long.

[0004] In order to ensure that the wind turbine blade can be normally put into use, after the blade is produced through a mold, a series of post-processing operations are required. The post-processing operations mainly include joint edge trimming, root processing, blade shell surface treatment, and primer spraying.

[0005] The existing Chinese patent with the publication number CN113198649A discloses a wind turbine blade post-processing device. The wind turbine blade post-processing device comprises a base, a first fixed plate and a second fixed plate fixed on the base, and a spray gun movably arranged above the base for spraying the wind turbine blade. A sliding structure is arranged between the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate for driving the spray gun to move horizontally. When the primer spraying work for the post-processing of the wind turbine blade is performed, the wind turbine blade is placed on the base, and the driving mechanism is driven to mix and stir the coating in the feeding assembly, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the coating. The sliding structure moves to drive the spray gun to move horizontally. At the same time, the driving mechanism drives the swing mechanism to move, and the swing mechanism drives the spray gun to swing back and forth.

[0006] The prior technical solution has the following defects: although the effective automatic spraying function of the device on the wind power blade can be realized, only one side of the wind power blade can be processed, and other directions of the large blade cannot be operated, which is very inconvenient.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example:

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automated blade post-processing intelligent device includes: a base 1, a rotating unit 2 disposed on the base 1, and a lifting slide mechanism 3 for lifting the blade. The lifting slide mechanism 3 lifts the blade, and the rotating unit 2 rotates the blade.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotating unit 2 includes side plates 21 on both sides of the base 1, a middle plate 22 connecting the two side plates 21, and a circular rotating plate 23 for fixing the blades. The circular rotating plate 23 is located on the middle plate 22 and is rotatably connected to the middle plate 22. The blades are fixed on the side of the circular rotating plate 23 away from the middle plate 22. The operator fixes the circular bottom of the blades to the circular rotating plate 23 and places the blades horizontally on the equipment.

[0048] A driving component 4 is provided on the side of the intermediate plate 22 away from the circular rotating plate 23. The driving component 4 passes through the intermediate plate 22 and is coaxially connected to a driving gear 41. An outer ring gear 231 is provided circumferentially on the circular rotating plate 23. The driving gear 41 meshes with the outer ring gear 231. In this embodiment, the driving component 4 can be, but is not limited to, a low-pressure metering pump. When the driving component 4 rotates, it drives the driving gear 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer ring gear 231 to rotate, thereby causing the circular rotating plate 23 to rotate.

[0049] In the embodiment, two driving members 4 are arranged, two driving gears 41 connected with the driving members 4 are arranged, the two driving gears 41 are arranged at the left upper corner and the right upper corner of the circular rotating plate 23, the circular rotating plate 23 is driven by the two driving members 4 rotating simultaneously, when one driving member 4 fails, the other driving member 4 can drive the circular rotating plate 23, so that the fault tolerance of the driving member 4 is improved. Meanwhile, when the rotating amount of any driving member 4 is wrong, because the two driving members 4 are driven, the rotating amounts of the two driving members 4 are different, the two driving members 4 will not continue to rotate, so that the rotating error is reduced, and the accuracy of the rotating amount of the blade is improved.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The lifting slide mechanism 3 includes a lifting platform 31 arranged on the base 1 and a lifting member arranged at the upper end of the lifting platform 31.

The two ends of the second pin shaft 532 are rotatably connected with the side plate 21. The middle section of the second pin shaft 532 is rotatably connected with the base 1. In the embodiment, the side plate 21 is connected with the base 1 only through the first pin shaft 531, so that the side plate 21 can rotate with the first pin shaft 531.

[0053] The user controls the piston rod of the jacking oil cylinder 52 to extend, pushes the side plate 21 to move along the direction of the vertical first pin shaft 531 axis, the side plate 21 rotates along the first pin shaft 531, drives the circular rotating plate 23 to be laid back, thereby lifting the blades on the circular rotating plate 23. The piston rod of the jacking oil cylinder 52 is retracted, pushes the side plate 21 to move along the direction of the vertical first pin shaft 531 axis, the side plate 21 rotates forward along the first pin shaft 531, drives the circular rotating plate 23 to be erected forward, thereby putting down the blades.

[0054] As Figures 1 to 3 The blade tail lifting and fixing mechanism 6 includes a bottom frame 61, a support frame 62 provided on the bottom frame 61, and a fixing assembly 7 on both sides of the support frame 62. The support frame 62 is provided with an embedding groove 63 for embedding the blades. The bottom frame 61 is provided with a roller 64 below. The user places the blades in the embedding groove 63 and fixes the tail of the blades through the fixing assembly 7, thereby facilitating the processing of the blades.

After rotation, the blades are placed in the embedding groove 63 for fixation. The roller 64 facilitates the movement of the bottom frame 61.

[0055] The fixing assembly 7 includes a screw rod 71, a fixing plate 72, and a rotating handle 73. The screw rod 71 is threadedly connected with the support frame 62.

The support frame 62 is provided with a movable area for the fixing plate 72 on both sides of the embedding groove 63. The end of the screw rod 71 away from the fixing plate 72 is provided with the rotating handle 73.

[0056] The staff rotates the rotating handle 73, which drives the screw rod 71 to rotate. The screw rod 71 moves along the support frame 62 and pushes the fixing plate 72 to adhere to the blades, thereby fixing the blades in the embedding groove 63.

[0057] As Figure 5As shown, the driving member 4 is connected with the hydraulic oil tank 8, the hydraulic oil tank 8 supplies hydraulic lubricating oil to the driving member 4, the bottom of the hydraulic oil tank 8 is provided with an oil tank base 81, both ends of the oil tank base 81 are provided with bottom connecting pieces 82, the bottom connecting pieces 82 are hingedly connected with oil tank oil cylinders 83, the cylinder bodies of the oil tank oil cylinders 83 are connected with the bottom connecting pieces 82, and the piston rods of the oil tank oil cylinders 83 are hingedly connected to the side plates 21. The hydraulic oil tank 8 supplies lubricating oil to the driving member 4, so that the driving member 4 can smoothly operate. Meanwhile, the piston rods of the oil tank oil cylinders 83 can cooperate with the extension and retraction of the jacking oil cylinders 52 to better drive the lifting of the side plates 21, reduce the rear swinging of the side plates 21, improve the stability of the lifting of the side plates 21, and also enable the oil tank oil cylinders 83 and the jacking oil cylinders 52 to be interlocked, so as to ensure the safety of the lifting of the side plates 21 and improve the safety of the lifting of the blades.

[0058] In summary: the driving member 4 of the rotating unit 2 is rotated to drive the blades to rotate, so that the blades can be conveniently processed in the circumferential direction, the convenience of processing the blades is improved, and the processing time is shortened.
