Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of intelligent manufacturing technology for wind turbine blades, specifically relating to a glue collection robot system. Background Technology

[0002] Wind turbine blades are made by bonding PS and SS shells together with adhesive. The adhesive is manually applied to the web, main beam cap, and leading and trailing edges. After the blade is molded using tooling, excess adhesive overflows. Significant amounts of adhesive are squeezed out and hang at the bonding corners on the leading edge, the middle of the web, and the trailing edge. The narrow space at the blade tip makes it impossible for workers to clean up the excess adhesive. This residual adhesive not only increases the blade's moment of mass but also falls during operation, causing noise, damaging diaphragms and the blade tip shell, harming the lightning protection system, and clogging drainage holes, posing significant quality risks. Therefore, a robotic system for automatically cleaning residual adhesive in inaccessible areas inside the blade is needed.

[0003] Existing patents related to adhesive application, such as the utility model patent with application number CN201220160277.7 entitled "A Collection Device for Structural Adhesive in the Mold of Composite Wind Turbine Blades," disclose a collection device for structural adhesive in the mold of composite wind turbine blades. The device comprises four parts: a handle, a movable rotating plate, a movable rotating shaft, and a collection box. The movable rotating plate is mounted at the bottom of the collection box via the movable rotating shaft. The collection box is connected to one end of the handle, allowing it to extend into the flange gap. The shape of the end of the collection box matches the shape of the upper and lower flanges on the mold face of the wind turbine blade, ensuring a tight fit between the collection box and the mold flange. The movable rotating plate, located at the bottom of the collection box, has a shape consistent with the bottom and rear wall of the collection box but no side walls. The protruding part of the movable rotating plate, which is flush with the rear wall, extends out of the collection box and is connected in the middle via the movable rotating shaft. The protruding part acts as a lever.

[0004] The aforementioned patent describes only a glue-collecting fixture, used to assist manual glue collection. A person holds the fixture to collect glue from accessible areas within the blades. It does not have an automatic glue-collecting function and cannot collect residual glue from areas of the blades inaccessible to humans. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, a blade mold-closing and glue-collecting robot system is proposed. This system automatically collects residual glue from the web bonding angle and leading edge of the blade within the narrow space inaccessible to humans at the blade tip and carries it out of the blade.

[0014] Furthermore, the leading edge adhesive collection and transfer mechanism includes a leading edge adhesive collection and transfer mechanism housing, a leading edge Archimedean screw, and a leading edge adhesive collection and transfer drive module. The leading edge Archimedean screw is mounted on the leading edge transfer mechanism housing and connected to the leading edge adhesive collection and transfer drive module via a coupling. Under the drive of the leading edge adhesive collection and transfer drive module, the leading edge Archimedean screw transfers the adhesive from the leading edge adhesive collection mechanism to the adhesive storage unit through a bellows.

The transfer mechanism delivers the adhesive to the glue storage unit through the glue tube.

[0016] Furthermore, the panoramic camera and light source are mounted above the lead screw module, and the steering of the glue collection trolley is achieved by the steering wheel mechanism in conjunction with the traction wheel of the tractor.

[0017] Furthermore, the steering wheel mechanism includes a servo motor, a wheel frame, and a rubber wheel, the rubber wheel being mounted on the wheel frame and connected to the servo motor.

[0018] The advantages of this application are: The tractor and the glue-collecting trolley of this application are connected via a quick-connect mechanism. Specifically designed for the confined space at the blade tip that is inaccessible to humans, this application can automatically collect residual glue from the bonding corners of the web and the leading edge, and remove it from the blade.

This glue-collecting robot system is easy to operate, highly efficient, easy to maintain, applicable to a wide range of blade types, and stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0046] During the entire system's forward movement, the web-side glue collection mechanism and the leading-edge glue collection mechanism operate simultaneously, automatically collecting residual glue distributed along the web and leading-edge bonding surfaces of the blades, respectively. After entering the collection mechanism, the residual glue is transferred to the glue storage unit via a bellows by the web-side and leading-edge glue collection transfer mechanisms. The web-side glue collection lifting mechanism applies downward pressure during collection, ensuring the web-side glue collection mechanism is flush with the collection plane. The lead screw module 16 of the leading-edge glue collection position adjustment mechanism enables the left-right movement of the leading-edge glue collection mechanism perpendicular to the trolley's forward direction, while the rotary drive mechanism 27 enables the leading-edge glue collection mechanism to rotate around the trolley's forward direction.

The steering of the entire system is controlled by the steering wheel mechanism of the glue collection trolley.
