Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine impeller technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine impellers. Background Technology

[0002] Fans are used to pressurize and transport gas, and are widely used in factories, mines, tunnels, and buildings for ventilation, dust removal, and cooling. However, fans often operate in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, making fan impellers prone to corrosion and rust, requiring anti-corrosion treatment. Existing anti-corrosion treatments for fan impellers mostly involve coating the outer surface of the impeller with an anti-corrosion film to improve its resistance. However, with long-term use, the fan impeller will still wear down and age, leading to rust. Replacing the impeller or undergoing professional anti-corrosion and rust removal requires a significant amount of money, which is too high for some enterprises and factories using small and medium-sized fans, and anti-corrosion and rust removal is also difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a device for anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine impellers, comprising a handle, a connecting frame, a rotating frame, a mounting head, a nozzle, a spray pipe, a torsion spring, a connecting rope, a rotating buckle, a locking block, a first spring, and a pull rod.

[0009] The device for anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine impellers further includes a limiting plate with a through hole, and the limiting plate is fixed to one side of the connecting frame.

[0010] On the other hand, a method for anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine impellers, employing the aforementioned anti-corrosion treatment device for wind turbine impellers, includes: opening the wind turbine inspection window or wind turbine casing to expose the impeller; connecting the spray pipe to a rust remover bottle and a corrosion inhibitor bottle, and then installing the spray nozzle onto the mounting head to complete the device assembly; extending one side of the spray nozzle and the connecting frame through the wind turbine inspection window into the wind turbine to perform rust removal and anti-corrosion spraying on the outer surface of the impeller; turning the rotating buckle to pull back the connecting rope, causing the rotating frame to deflect 90°, and then spraying the back of the impeller from below or above the side to perform rust removal and anti-corrosion treatment on the back, thereby completing one anti-corrosion treatment.

The connecting rope pulls the rotating frame, causing it to deflect at a certain angle for easy spraying onto the back of the wind turbine impeller. By turning the rotating buckle, the impeller can be accessed from the... The angle of the rotating frame can be adjusted directly at the handle. The locking block remains popped out under the action of the first spring, locking the rotating buckle and fixing it in place. When adjusting the rotating buckle, the locking block can be pulled back by the pull rod.
