However, in winter every year, when the fan operates under low temperature conditions and encounters weather such as rain, snow, etc., ice will form on the surface of its blades, especially the icing situation from the middle to the tip of the blade is more serious. The attached ice layer increases the blade load, affects its aerodynamic characteristics, resulting in a decrease in its power generation efficiency and even shutdown. Therefore, it is urgent to de-ice the fan blades.

The needle electrode 9, the intermediate electrode 6, the first-stage cavity 7, the ground electrode 4, and the second-stage cavity 5 are tightly pressed in a cylindrical sleeve shape to form the shock wave jet cavity 10. The needle electrode 9, the intermediate electrode 6, and the ground electrode 4 are all made of brass. The nozzle 3 with a diameter of 2 mm is located at the center of the intermediate electrode 6 and the ground electrode 4.

[0027] As Figure 4 shown, the adaptive screwing clamping device 18 is composed of a base 11, adaptive screwing arms, and a cavity clamp 17. The adaptive screwing arms are integrally distributed on the base 11 at equal intervals of 120°. The adaptive screwing arm includes a first large arm 12, a first rotating shaft 13, a first rotating arm 14, a second rotating shaft 15, and a second rotating arm 16. One end of the first large arm 12 is fixedly arranged on the base 11, and the other end of the first large arm 12 is obliquely upward and hinged to one end of the first rotating arm 14 through the first rotating shaft 13. The other end of the first rotating arm 14 is upward and hinged to one end of the second rotating arm 16 through the second rotating shaft 15. The other end of the second rotating arm 16 is fixedly provided with a cavity clamp 17 for clamping a single shock wave jet cavity 10. The base 11 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the injection array integration device 28. The adaptive screwing arms are integrally distributed on the base 11 at equal intervals of 120°.

[0028] As Figure 5 shown, the reverse clamping arm device 27 is composed of four reverse clamping arms symmetrically distributed on both sides of the injection array integration device 28. The injection array integration device 28 is in a box shape. The reverse clamping arm is composed of a second large arm 19, a telescopic arm 20, a third rotating shaft 21, a third rotating arm 22, a fourth rotating shaft 23, a fourth rotating arm 24, a roller 26, and a roller shaft 25.

The other end of the third rotating arm 22 is hinged to one end of the fourth rotating arm 24 through the fourth rotating shaft 23. The other end of the fourth rotating arm 24 is provided with a roller shaft 25, and rollers 26 are installed at both ends of the roller shaft 25. The telescopic arm 20 can be telescoped up and down, supplemented by rotating arms and rotating shafts to adjust and adapt to different blade sizes. The front end is provided with a roller shaft 25, and rollers 26 are installed at both ends to roll along the blade to move the device.

[0029] Single shock wave jet cavities 10 are distributed within a space of 5*5*15 cm; multiple shock wave jet cavities 10 are arranged in sequence to form a dense array on a single surface; a single shock wave jet cavity 10 within the device is clamped by an adaptive screwing arm and can independently adjust the distance between the nozzle 3 and the ice surface under the action of a stepping motor, with six degrees of freedom adjustable in the up and down, left and right, front and back directions, that is, it can adaptively adjust the direction of the nozzle 3 so that the plasma jets converge and act together on the same point, or it can independently adjust the distance between the nozzle 3 and the impact surface; the injection array integration device 28 can be controlled for single or multiple, synchronous or asynchronous, centralized or decentralized injection according to control requirements; the reverse clamping arm device 27 can expand and contract in the up and down and left and right directions to adapt to different sizes of blades, and the rollers 26 can move along the blades while reducing wear on the blades.

[0030] The following combines Figures 1 to 7 to further illustrate the present invention.

[0031] Taking the charging and discharging process of the energy storage capacitor C1 as an example, at the beginning, the power-on button SB1 is pressed: the coils of the first intermediate relay KM1 and the first power-off delay relay KT2 are energized, the normally open contact K1 of the first intermediate relay KM1 closes, and the two normally open contacts of the first power-off delay relay KT2 close. At this time, the energy storage capacitor C1 starts to charge. After the coil of the first power-on delay relay KT1 is energized and after a preset time delay t c1 later, the normally closed contact of the first power-on delay relay KT1 opens and the normally open contact closes. At this time, the energy storage capacitor C1 is charged to the preset voltage. The coils of the first intermediate relay KM1 and the first power-off delay relay KT2 lose power, the normally open contact K1 of the first intermediate relay KM1 resets, the charging circuit of the energy storage capacitor C1 is disconnected, and after a preset delay T (composed of the time required for C1 and C2 to be charged to the preset voltage and the interval between two adjacent actions, set to 20 s in the device), the control circuit gives an action instruction to control the discharge of C2 and C1 in sequence.

[0032] First, the control circuit gives an action signal, the thyristor SCR2 is turned on, the pulse capacitor C2 is discharged, and a high-voltage pulse is applied to the needle electrode 9 through the a end of the secondary coil T2 of the pulse transformer T, causing the polytetrafluoroethylene 8 insulating material between the needle electrode 9 and the middle electrode 6 to flash over along the surface to form a pre-ionization channel. At this time, the energy storage capacitor C1 is discharged through the pre-ionization channel of the primary cavity 7, the needle electrode 9, the secondary coil T2 of the pulse transformer T, and the resistor R2. Because the iron core has not yet been saturated after the pulse transformer outputs a high-voltage pulse, it is equivalent to a large inductor. At this time, the excitation inductance value is large, the capacitor energy is released slowly, and the current coupled from the primary side of the pulse transformer to the secondary side is very small. At this time, the amount of plasma generated by the surface pulse discharge is small, which is not enough to move upward across the middle electrode into the secondary cavity, causing the electric field distortion in the secondary cavity. With the action of the external voltage applied at both ends of the pulse transformer, the pulse transformer volt-second product increases, causing the iron core to gradually saturate, and the excitation inductance value decreases. Part of the energy of the energy storage capacitor C1 can be released quickly, but due to the constraints of the inductance and the discharge resistor R2, the discharge current is still very small. In this stage, a small amount of plasma is generated by ablation. Under the action of the electric field force and aerodynamic force in the cavity, the intermediate electrode 6 and the ground electrode 4 are short-circuited along the trigger channel, forming a discharge channel that runs through the trigger cavity. At this time, the energy storage capacitor C1 forms a main discharge channel through the intermediate electrode 6, the plasma in the secondary cavity 5 and the ground electrode 4, and the current peak is as high as kA level. With the injection of trigger energy, the discharge channel expands rapidly, generating a very high shock wave pressure in the closed micro discharge cavity; at the same time, the arc along the surface violently ablates the insulating gas-producing material of the secondary cavity 5, and a large amount of plasma can be quickly formed within a hundred μs, causing the gas pressure in the trigger cavity to rise sharply, and a high-temperature, high-pressure, high-speed plasma jet can be quickly formed at the nozzle 3. The instantaneous temperature of the plasma can reach 800-1000K, and the impact force at the nozzle 3 can reach MN level. Multiple shock wave jet cavities 10 are integrated and arranged in an array to form a device, and an action signal is given synchronously. Multiple plasma jets are ejected simultaneously in a short time and act on the blade ice layer together. A single shock wave jet chamber 10 in the device can also independently adjust the distance between the nozzle 3 and the ice surface to perform concentrated or divergent spraying. For example, when the ice layer at a single point is thick, the angles of multiple shock wave jet chambers 10 around it can be adjusted to converge multiple plasma jets to one point for concentrated crushing. At the same time, the spray array can be controlled to perform a circle of annular spraying from the inside to the outside and a square spraying in a certain area. The reverse arm device 27 around the spray array integrated device 28 can be freely extended and retracted up and down and left and right to adapt to different positions of the blades, and the roller 26 on the reverse arm device 27 can be controlled to move the spray array integrated device 28.

[0033] In summary, the present invention adopts an ice removal method based on plasma jet. By utilizing the characteristics of the plasma rapidly generated by the ablation capillary within hundreds of microseconds, which has high temperature and high-speed jet, the ice layer at the specified position is broken. The shock wave jet cavity 10 can repeatedly and continuously jet ice removal within a short time. At the same time, the continuous action time of the jet plasma is within sub-milliseconds, and the rapid ice removal based on the heat transfer of the plasma and the action of the shock wave avoids damage to the fan blades. The present invention can provide a new solution to the ice removal problem of fan blades.
