[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] See also Figure 1-5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a novel wind turbine blade icing simulation system, wherein the wind turbine blade icing simulation test mainly simulates the blade icing conditions under different weather conditions; the main weather variables include wind speed, temperature, humidity, and whether it rains; the blade icing conditions mainly include whether icing occurs, the maximum thickness of icing, and the quality of icing, and the icing position is observed to draw simulation test conclusions, including a ventilation duct 1 and a control host 9, a variable frequency fan 2 is provided at the front end of the ventilation duct 1; an air heat exchange chamber 3, a mist chamber 4, an instrument chamber 5 and a blade installation chamber 6 are sequentially provided from the front end to the tail end of the ventilation duct 1; a refrigeration device 31 is installed in the air heat exchange chamber 3, and the refrigeration device 31 is used to adjust the temperature of the simulation experiment; an atomizer 41 is installed in the mist chamber 4, and the atomizer 41 is used to adjust the humidity of the simulation experiment; a monitoring instrument assembly is installed in the instrument chamber 5; wherein the monitoring instrument assembly includes an anemometer 51, a thermometer 52 and a hygrometer 53, through the anemometer 51, the thermometer 52 and the humidity The meter 53 collects the speed information, temperature information and humidity information of the simulation experiment in real time. A rotating device 7 is installed in the blade installation chamber 6. The rotating device 7 is used to install the fan blade block 75 and drive it to rotate. The fan blade block 75 is driven to rotate by the rotating device 7 to simulate that the fan blade block 75 reaches the on-site fan blade linear speed. A spray mechanism 8 is also provided on the blade installation chamber 6; the spray mechanism 8 is used to spray in the blade installation chamber 6 to adjust the rainy day state of the simulation experiment. The control host 9 is interactively electrically connected with the variable frequency fan 2, the refrigeration device 31, the atomizer 41, the monitoring instrument component, the rotating device 7 and the spray mechanism 8, that is, the control host 9 is used to control the variable frequency fan 2, the refrigeration device 31, the atomizer 41, the monitoring instrument component, the rotating device 7 and the spray mechanism 8, and the anemometer 51, the thermometer 52 and the hygrometer 53 in the monitoring instrument component collect the speed information, temperature information and humidity information of the simulation experiment in real time and transmit the feedback to the control host 9.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the fan blade block 75 is a fan blade block 75 obtained by evenly dividing the fan blade from the tip to the root into 10 small pieces to obtain fan blades in different areas. The length of the fan blade to be divided is 70% of the total length of the blade. The corresponding linear velocity of each blade is calculated according to the on-site fan blade position and its linear velocity, and then the fan blade block 75 is fixed to the rotating device 7. By adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating device 7, the fan blade block 75 is simulated to reach the on-site fan blade linear velocity, thereby solving the problem that the laboratory cannot simulate the on-site fan blade linear velocity and improving the laboratory simulation experiment effect.

[0042] The spray mechanism 8 includes a water tank 81 and a spray head 83. The spray head 83 is installed in the blade installation chamber 6 to spray the interior thereof. A water pump 82 is provided on one side of the water tank 81, and the water pump 82 is used to extract water from the water tank 81 and transport it to the spray head 83. The inlet of the water pump 82 is connected to the water tank 81 through a water pipe, and the outlet of the water pump 82 is connected to the spray head 83 through a water pipe. That is, the water in the water tank 81 is extracted by the water pump 82 and transported to the spray head 83. Finally, water is sprayed into the blade installation chamber 6 through the spray head 83 to simulate rainy conditions. The water pump 82 is electrically connected to the control host 9. The control host 9 is used to adjust the frequency of the water pump 82 and control the flow of the water pump 82 to achieve the simulation experiment requirements under different rainfall amounts.

[0043] Rotating device 7 includes a frame 71, with a rotating base 73 rotatably mounted on the front side of frame 71. A drive motor 72 is mounted on the rear end of frame 71 and is connected to the rotating base 73 via a coupling. A fan blade block 75 is detachably secured to the outer side of the rotating base 73 via a mounting bracket 74. Specifically, the drive motor 72 drives the rotating base 73 to rotate, which in turn drives the fan blade block 75 secured thereto to rotate, thereby simulating the fan blade block 75 to rotate at the same linear speed as a real-world fan blade.

[0044] Three mounting brackets 74 are provided, and these brackets 74 are arranged in a circular pattern with equal angles outside the rotating base 73. By providing three mounting brackets 74 to simultaneously secure three fan blade blocks 75 in the same position during the simulation experiment, the stability of the rotation of the rotating device 7 is improved. This also matches the normal fan blade layout (i.e., three blades installed on a fan), improving the effectiveness of the simulation experiment and enabling the simultaneous measurement of three data points for easier analysis.

[0045] The mounting frame 74 includes a base 741 fixed to the outside of the rotating base 73. Two lateral positioning frames 76 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 741. A connecting screw 742 is vertically fixed to the base 741 between the two lateral positioning frames 76, and the top of the connecting screw 742 is screwed to a top plate 743. The sleeve 761 of the lateral positioning frame 76 has a bidirectional adjustment screw 762 rotatably provided on the inner side of the sleeve 761. Two nut sleeves 763 are symmetrically sleeved on the bidirectional adjustment screw 762. The bidirectional adjustment screw 762 has threaded sections with equal pitch and opposite spiral directions at both ends. The two nut sleeves 763 are respectively sleeved on the two threaded sections. When the bidirectional adjustment screw 762 rotates, the two nut sleeves 763 can be synchronously driven to move toward or in opposite directions. Two support frames 764 are symmetrically hinged on the two nut sleeves 763, and an abutment frame 765 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 764. When the fan blade block 75 is installed, the fan blade block 75 is sleeved between the two lateral positioning frames 76, and then the top plate 743 is fixed by connecting screws 742, so that the two ends of the fan blade block 75 are abutted and fixed by the top plate 743 and the base 741. After the fixation is completed, the two-way adjustment screw rod 762 is rotated to drive the two nut sleeves 763 on it to move toward each other through the adjustment screw rod 762. The two nut sleeves 763 cooperate with the support frame 764 to drive the abutment frame 765 to abut outward to achieve abutment and fixation from the inside of the fan blade block 75, thereby achieving the overall fixation of the four positions of the fan blade block 75, significantly improving the stability of the fixation, and further improving the accuracy of the experiment. At the same time, the base 741 and the top plate 743 can seal the two ends of the fan blade block 75 to prevent wind from entering the fan blade block 75 during rotation, further improving the accuracy of the simulation experiment.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] A novel wind turbine blade icing simulation method, based on the novel wind turbine blade icing simulation method described above, comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1: evenly dividing the fan blade from the tip to the root into 10 small pieces to obtain fan blade blocks 75 at different regions of the fan blade;

[0049] S2: Calculate the corresponding linear velocity of each fan blade block 75 based on the on-site fan blade position and linear velocity, then fix the fan blade block 75 to the rotating device 7, and adjust the rotation speed of the rotating device 7 to simulate the fan blade block 75 to reach the on-site fan blade linear velocity;

[0050] S3: Start the variable frequency fan 2 to blow air into the ventilation duct 1. According to the detection results of the monitoring instrument assembly in the instrument room 5, the wind speed information is collected by the anemometer 51 in the detection instrument assembly and transmitted to the control host 9 for display. Then, the control host 9 adjusts the inverter of the variable frequency fan 2 to meet the test requirements under different wind speeds.

[0051] Start the refrigeration device 31, and according to the test results of the monitoring instrument assembly in the instrument room 5, the temperature information is collected by the thermometer 52 in the detection instrument assembly and transmitted to the control host 9 for display. Then, the refrigeration device 31 is adjusted by the control host 9 to meet the test requirements at different temperatures;

[0052] Start the atomizer 41, and atomize water vapor into the atomization chamber 4 to simulate foggy weather. According to the detection results of the monitoring instrument assembly in the instrument room 5, the humidity information is collected by the hygrometer 53 in the detection instrument assembly and transmitted to the control host 9 for display. Then, the inverter of the atomizer 41 is adjusted by the control host 9 to meet the foggy weather test requirements under different humidity conditions.

[0053] Start the spray mechanism 8, simulate light rain weather through the spray mechanism 8, and control the flow of the spray mechanism 8 through the control host 9 to meet the test requirements under different rainfall amounts;

[0054] S4: After the experiment is completed, the fan blade block 75 is removed from the rotating device 7, and the icing condition of the fan blade block 75 is checked, wherein the icing condition of the fan blade block 75 and the icing position are observed to draw conclusions of the simulation test, wherein the icing condition includes whether icing occurs, the maximum thickness of icing, and the quality of icing.

[0055] S5: Repeat until all simulation tests on the divided fan blade blocks 75 are completed.

[0056] In step 2, the corresponding linear velocity of each fan blade block 75 is calculated based on the on-site fan blade position and its linear velocity:

[0057] The radius of the rotating device 7 is 0.8m, and the rotation speed is 0-1000 rpm.

[0058] The calculation formula for the rotating equipment speed setting value z (r / min) is:

[0059]

[0060] Where n is the nth blade; Q (rev / min) is the speed of the on-site fan; L (m) is the length of the on-site fan blade.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] Divide the small fan blades into 10 small pieces (such as Figure 5As shown), they are respectively installed and fixed on the rotating device 7 in the blade installation chamber 6. According to the rotation speed setting value z (rpm) of the rotating device, the corresponding speed of the rotating device 7 is adjusted; the variable frequency fan 2 is started, and the frequency is automatically adjusted by the control host 9. The anemometer 51 in the control instrument room 5 detects a result of 2m / s;

[0063] Start the refrigeration device 31, control the host 9 to automatically adjust the refrigeration temperature, and control the thermometer 52 in the instrument room 5 to detect the result of -1°C;

[0064] Start the atomizer 41, control the host 9 to automatically adjust the frequency, and control the humidity meter 53 in the instrument room 5 to detect a result of 90%;

[0065] Do not start the sprinkler system. After 2 hours of continuous operation, stop the operation, open the fan blade chamber, remove a small blade, and inspect the blade ice coverage. This involves taking photos, measuring the ice thickness and mass, and recording the results. This completes the icing simulation test for the first blade. Repeat the icing simulation test for blades 2 to 10.

[0066] Among them, the blade icing simulation test data is shown in Table 1:

[0068]

[0069] Experimental example:

[0071] At 09:20 on February 11, 2023, ice began to form on the wind turbine blades. The temperature was approximately -2°C, the wind speed was approximately 5m / s, the humidity was approximately 95%, there was light mist, and no freezing rain.

[0072] At 11:30 on February 11, 2023, the wind turbine was shut down and the blades were inspected. Ice was found from the tip to the middle of the blade, and the length of the ice was about 60% of the total length of the blade. The ice was located on the windward side and leading edge of the blade. The maximum thickness of the ice was at the tip of the blade, about 50 mm, and the thickness of the ice gradually decreased from the tip to the middle of the blade.

[0073] Based on the weather conditions of a wind farm on February 11, 2023, a wind turbine blade icing simulation test was conducted. The test data are shown in Table 2:

[0075]
