[0037] To make the objectives and technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] Wind turbine blades typically consist of a main beam 2, a trailing edge beam 14, a windward skin 1, a leeward skin 3, a leading edge web 4, and a trailing edge web 5. The leading edge web 4 and trailing edge web 5 are joined together through a series of processes including injection molding and adhesive bonding. The main beam 2, trailing edge beam 14, and the die-cutting edge are integrally formed with the shell using a vacuum injection molding process. The leading edge web 4 and trailing edge web 5 are bonded to the inner surface of the leeward side of the wind turbine blade. The leading edge web 4 and trailing edge web 5 are arranged in parallel, and a small web 6 is provided between the trailing edge beams 14.
[0039] A method for fabricating wind turbine blades without removing flash from the mold seam. The wind turbine blade is composed of a main beam, a trailing edge beam, a windward side skin, a leeward side skin, and a web plate. The fabrication steps are as follows:
[0040] The mold for preparing the windward and leeward sides of the wind turbine blades includes a front edge of the windward side, a rear edge of the windward side, a front edge of the leeward side, and a rear edge of the leeward side for preparing the windward and leeward sides of the wind turbine blades.
[0041] S1. Lay a front edge mold-closing burr fabric layer at the mold-closing seam of the front edge of the windward skin, and lay a rear edge mold-closing burr fabric layer at the mold-closing seam of the rear edge of the windward skin.
[0042] S2. In step S1, the outer skin release cloth is laid again on the front edge mold-closing edge cloth layer of the front edge of the windward skin; the outer skin release cloth is laid again on the rear edge mold-closing edge cloth layer of the rear edge of the windward skin.
[0043] S3. Lay the front edge mold-joining edge fabric layer at the mold-joining seam of the front edge of the leeward skin, and lay the rear edge mold-joining edge fabric layer again at the mold-joining seam of the rear edge of the leeward skin.
[0044] S4. In step S3, the outer skin release cloth 13 of the front edge is laid again on the mold-closing burr cloth layer of the leeward skin; the outer skin release cloth 13 of the rear edge is laid again on the mold-closing burr cloth layer of the rear edge of the leeward skin.
[0045] S5, the main beam, windward skin, leeward skin, mold-fitting flash fabric layer, and outer skin release fabric 13 are formed by injection molding to create the windward and leeward sides of the wind turbine blades; at this time, the windward and leeward sides of the wind turbine blades are not assembled; the windward and leeward skins of the wind turbine blades and the mold-fitting flash are integrally formed with the skin through a vacuum injection molding process;
[0046] S6. Based on the injection molding in step S5, the leading edge fiberglass baffle strip 11 is bonded at the mold seam of the leading edge of the leeward skin 3 of the wind turbine blade, and the trailing edge fiberglass baffle strip 12 is bonded at the mold seam of the trailing edge of the leeward skin 3. Adhesive is applied to the bonding angle area 15 of the leading edge of the windward skin 1, the bonding area of the trailing edge of the leeward skin 4, the leading edge web 4, and the trailing edge web 5.
[0047] S7. Flip the windward side of the wind turbine blade over and cover the leeward side of the wind turbine blade to form an integral wind turbine blade. The fiberglass baffle strip initially has a semi-circular structure. During the mold closing process, the fiberglass baffle strip is compressed by the mold pressure to form a "U" shape. The closed end of the fiberglass baffle strip faces the mold closing seam between the leeward side and the windward side of the wind turbine blade.
[0048] S8. After the wind turbine blades are formed, remove the outer skin release cloth at the mold joint of the windward skin 1, and remove the fiberglass sealing strips along with the front and rear edge mold joint burrs; grind the adhesive at the mold joint of the windward skin.
[0049] The demolding steps for the upper and lower molds and the flash are as follows:
[0050] 1) Pry open the bonding surfaces between the upper and lower outer skin release cloth and the outer skin surface of the wind turbine blades;
[0051] 2) After prying, starting from the pry point, tear along the outer skin demolding fabric chords to the overall width;
[0052] 3) First, remove the outer skin release cloth 13 from the windward front edge and the outer skin release cloth 13 from the leeward front edge of the wind turbine blades. Then, remove the outer skin release cloth 13 from the rear edge of the windward side of the wind turbine blades, the fiberglass baffle strip 11 from the front edge, and the fiberglass baffle strip 12 from the rear edge; remove the outer skin release cloth 13 from the front edge of the leeward side, the fiberglass baffle strip 11 from the front edge, and the fiberglass baffle strip 12 from the rear edge.
[0053] After the outer skin release cloth 13 is torn open, the outer skin release cloth 13 is completely separated from the leeward side and the windward side of the wind turbine blades.
[0054] S9. Remove the outer skin release cloth at the leeward side skin mold joint, and remove the fiberglass retaining strips connecting the front and rear edge mold joints together; grind the adhesive at the leeward side skin mold joint.
[0055] During the fiberglass sleeve design phase, the front edge mold closing flash 9 and the rear edge mold closing flash 10 of the mold are separated from the windward skin 1 and the leeward skin 3. A separate fiberglass cloth layer width W is allocated for the mold closing flash. First, the fiberglass cloth layers for the front edge mold closing flash 9 and the rear edge mold closing flash 10 are laid. During laying, the width inside the mold cavity is 50mm, and the width of the flash layer outside the mold closing seam is W-50mm. After the front edge mold closing flash 9 and the rear edge mold closing flash 10 are laid, the outer skin release cloth 13 is laid. The width of the outer skin release cloth 13 inside the cavity is 50mm greater than the width of the flash layer inside the cavity. After the outer skin release cloth 13 is laid, the windward skin 1 and the leeward skin 2 structures are laid. After laying, injection curing is performed, and the injection auxiliary material is removed after curing.
[0056] At the front edge mold closing flash 9 and the rear edge mold closing flash 10, a mold closing vacuum is applied to the mold flange platform for mold closing bonding. Before the mold closing adhesive is released, a front edge fiberglass baffle strip 11 is bonded to the mold closing seam truss of the front edge flash on the leeward side skin 3, and a rear edge fiberglass baffle strip 12 is bonded to the mold closing seam truss of the rear edge flash on the leeward side skin 2. The front edge fiberglass baffle strip 11 and the rear edge fiberglass baffle strip 12 are positioned Dmm away from the inner edge of the mold and are bonded to the front of the windward side skin 1 respectively. Apply adhesive 8 to the bonding area of the windward side skin 3, apply adhesive 7 to the bonding area of the rear edge of the windward side skin 3, and apply adhesive to the web area. After applying the adhesive, flip the windward side mold. During the process of flipping and pressing the windward side mold, the front edge fiberglass baffle strip 11 and the rear edge fiberglass baffle strip 12 will be pressed down, filling the Dmm gap between the front edge fiberglass baffle strip 11, the rear edge fiberglass baffle strip 12 and the inner edge, so that the two adhesives 7 and 8 at the front and rear edges cannot be squeezed into the mold joint area. After the mold is closed and bonded, the adhesive is cured by heating.
[0057] First, lay the mold-closing flash fabric layer on the windward and leeward sides, then lay the release fabric. Secure the release fabric and mold-closing flash layers with adhesive spray, avoiding dotted spraying to prevent concentrated adhesive from reducing the direct connection strength between the mold-closing flash and the skin after injection. The width of the release fabric within the mold cavity should be greater than the width of the fabric layer within the mold-closing flash cavity. After the release fabric is laid, lay the windward and leeward skin structure layers at the mold-closing seam. After the skin is laid, perform vacuum injection curing to pre-form the mold-closing flash and skin together. The web plate needs to be bonded to the shell with adhesive.
[0058] Mold bonding: During the first bonding of the blade, after applying adhesive to the windward skin main beam area, place the web plate and wait for it to cure. Then, apply adhesive to the bonding flange on the leeward side of the web plate and bond the web plate to the leeward main beam and trailing edge beam area. Apply adhesive to the bonding angle area 15 on the windward front edge and the bonding area on the leeward rear edge. Turn the mold over and lock it. The process of forming a whole by heat curing the adhesive is the blade mold bonding process.
[0059] Flash removal: After demolding, use a utility knife to pry open the starting point of the release cloth 13 under the outer skin at the leaf root. After prying open the starting point, tear off the chordal width of the outer skin release cloth 13. After tearing off the chordal width, remove the entire outer skin release cloth 13. During the process of removing the outer skin release cloth 13, the front edge mold closing flash 9, the rear edge mold closing flash 10, the front edge fiberglass retaining strip 11, and the rear edge fiberglass retaining strip 12 can be removed.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
