Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind power generation, and in particular to a wind turbine blade extension structure provided with winglets. Background Art
[0002] Wind power generation refers to a method of generating electricity by using wind to drive the wind wheel or blades to rotate mechanically, and then drive the generator to generate electricity through mechanical power transmission. Wind power generation is a kind of renewable energy, which has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, clean and pollution-free. In order to improve the power generation efficiency of the unit, extension sections are usually bonded to the original blades to extend the blades. The blade extension improves the wind turbine's ability to capture wind energy and thus improves its power generation efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with publication number "CN118188293A" discloses a fan blade extension structure provided with winglets. By combining a traditional blade extension section with a winglet, at least two winglets are arranged at the end of the extension section. While improving the wind-catching ability of the blade, the adverse effects of the wingtip vortex can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively improving the power generation efficiency of the fan. A web is passed through the extension section and the winglet, which is not easy to deform and has good durability. The chord length of the winglet is designed by an elliptical equation, so that the chord length is quickly and smoothly from the extension section to the winglet section within a small range, thereby solving the problem that the existing method of bonding the extension section has a limited effect on improving the power generation efficiency.
[0004] During the operation of existing wind turbines, the vortex intensity at the blade tip position is the largest due to the strong rolling effect of the airflow in the blade tip area. The existence of the vortex system changes the effective speed direction at the blade tip position, thereby forming an induced drag. In the scheme described above, this phenomenon is avoided by providing two winglets on the blade extension section. Since the winglets and the fan blades in this scheme are in a state that cannot be disassembled, it is impossible to adjust and optimize them according to different fan blade designs and application scenarios, and when the winglets are damaged, they cannot be disassembled and replaced on the fan blades. Therefore, the present invention proposes a fan blade extension structure provided with winglets to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

When the rotating block completes the rotation and is in the stable fixing groove, the fastening screw will be locked in the stable fixing groove, so that the rotating block between the winglet body and the fan blade body is maintained in the correct position, further improving the firmness between the winglet body and the fan blade body.

The extrusion airbag 23 between the rotating fixed block 5 and the stable fixed groove 6 will bulge. The bulged extrusion airbag 23 will increase the contact surface between the rotating fixed block 5 and the stable fixed groove 6, and at the same time improve the firmness between the winglet body 2 and the fan blade body 1.
[0042] Embodiment three:
[0043] See also Figure 1-9 On the basis of the first embodiment, a bearing 25 is fixedly installed on the end face of the pushing block 10, and a fastening screw 26 is fixedly connected inside the bearing 25. A through hole 27 is opened on the inner side face of the pushing groove 8, and the aperture of the through hole 27 is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening screw 26, so that the fastening screw 26 can pass through the through hole 27, ensuring that the fastening screw 26 does not contact the through hole 27, so as to avoid affecting the rotation of the fastening screw 26.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the pushing block 10 moves horizontally, the fastening screw 26 installed by the bearing 25 will pass through the through hole 27 and enter the fastening screw hole 28. Through the continuous movement of the pushing block 10, the fastening screw 26 in the fastening screw hole 28 will be in a rotating state due to the action of the bearing 25. When the rotating fixed block 5 completes the rotation and is in the stable fixing groove 6, the fastening screw 26 will be locked in the stable fixing groove 6, so that the rotating fixed block 5 between the winglet body 2 and the fan blade body 1 is maintained in the correct position, further improving the firmness between the winglet body 2 and the fan blade body 1.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] When in use, the positioning block 4 on the winglet body 2 is inserted into the positioning slot 3 of the fan blade body 1, and then the electric push rod 7 is used to drive the push block 10 to move. The push block 10 will slide in the limiting slot 16 through the limiting slider 15 and be in a horizontal moving state. The active tooth block 11 on the push block 10 is engaged with the half gear 14, and the rotating block 5 on the half gear 14 will rotate through the rotating shaft 13. After the rotation, the rotating block 5 will be stuck in the stable fixing slot 6 of the fan blade body 1, completing the position positioning of the rotating block 5;
[0047] When the limit slider 15 slides within the limit slot 16, the limit slider 15 drives the piston on the push rod 19 to move inside the extrusion cylinder 17. The gas in the extrusion cylinder 17 enters the extension tube 21 through the outlet pipe 20 through the action of the piston. The gas in the extension tube 21 enters the extrusion airbag 23 through the telescopic hose 22 and the inlet pipe 24. The extrusion airbag 23 between the rotating fixed block 5 and the stable fixed groove 6 will swell. The swollen extrusion airbag 23 will increase the contact surface between the rotating fixed block 5 and the stable fixed groove 6.
[0048] When the pushing block 10 moves horizontally, the fastening screw 26 installed by the bearing 25 will pass through the through hole 27 and enter the fastening screw hole 28. Through the continuous movement of the pushing block 10, the fastening screw 26 in the fastening screw hole 28 will be in a rotating state due to the action of the bearing 25. When the rotating fixed block 5 completes the rotation and is in the stable fixing groove 6, the fastening screw 26 will be locked in the stable fixing groove 6, so that the rotating fixed block 5 between the winglet body 2 and the fan blade body 1 is maintained in the correct position, thereby improving the firmness between the winglet body 2 and the fan blade body 1.
[0049] The control method in this technical solution is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field, which is common knowledge in this field. In addition, this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this technical solution no longer explains the motor control method and circuit connection relationship in detail.
