Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wind turbine blade protection, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a long-lasting anti-icing coating for wind turbine blades. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global wind power industry, wind turbine blades, as core components of wind power generation systems, have a significant impact on the overall system's power generation efficiency and operational safety. However, in cold climates, icing on wind turbine blades has become a major challenge hindering the industry's development. Icing not only significantly reduces blade aerodynamic performance and energy capture, leading to a significant drop in power generation efficiency, but also increases blade weight, exacerbating mechanical stress, accelerating blade fatigue damage, and even causing structural failure. To address this challenge, photothermal anti-icing coatings have emerged. They utilize natural light sources such as sunlight, converting light energy into heat through a highly efficient photothermal conversion mechanism, thereby melting or preventing ice from forming on the blade surface, significantly improving the operational efficiency and safety of wind turbine blades in cold climates. Compared to traditional anti-icing coatings, photothermal anti-icing coatings utilize innovative materials and structural designs to enhance the coating's durability, maintaining its anti-icing effect over time and reducing maintenance costs and frequency. In recent years, superhydrophobic anti-icing and de-icing coatings based on the photothermal effect have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties.

[0003] The Chinese patent "A super-hydrophobic anti-icing coating for passive photothermal deicing, its preparation method and application" (application publication number: CN115160857A, publication date: 2022.7.8) proposes an innovative method for preparing a super-hydrophobic anti-icing coating. The coating has a hollow porous carbon fiber derived from ZIF-8 as the core structure, and its surface is covered with polygonal protrusions and a large number of polygonal pores. This unique micro-nano structure not only gives the coating super-hydrophobic properties, effectively preventing water droplets from adhering to and freezing on the surface, but also significantly increases the specific surface area of ​​the coating and improves the ability to capture sunlight. It can heat up rapidly during the day, thereby accelerating the melting of the surface ice layer, showing excellent passive photothermal deicing performance. However, the irregular structure causes some light to deviate from the ideal path after multiple refractions, resulting in a waste of light energy.

[0004] The Chinese patent "A super-hydrophobic anti-icing and de-icing coating with photothermal effect and its preparation method" (application publication number: CN202110038224.1, publication date: 2021.1.12) discloses a super-hydrophobic anti-icing and de-icing coating with photothermal effect and its preparation method. By using melanin nanoparticles and hydrophobically modified SiO2 nanoparticles, a coating with excellent photothermal deicing performance and super-hydrophobic anti-icing performance is prepared. Although the photothermal efficiency of the coating is greatly improved, however, although the coating shows excellent performance under daylight conditions, its anti-icing and de-icing ability at night or in insufficient light is severely limited.

[0005] Therefore, developing a coating that can maximize the use of solar energy for photothermal deicing during the day and maintain a certain anti-icing ability at night or in low-light environments has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the current field of anti-icing and deicing technology.

[0037] The present invention provides a method for preparing a long-lasting anti-icing coating for wind turbine blades, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0038] Step 1: Prepare fillers with high photothermal properties:

[0039] 20%-35% carbon source, 5%-8% metal salt and 60%-75% solvent are fully ultrasonically dispersed, and then placed in a high-pressure reactor for hydrothermal treatment at 180-220°C for 4-48h, and then centrifuged at a speed of 8000-10000rpm for 5-30min, and vacuum dried at 60°C for 12h, and the obtained sample is placed in a tube furnace for vacuum calcination at 800-1000°C for 3-5h, and then washed with 1-5mol / L acid for 3-6h, vacuum dried at 60°C and ground uniformly to obtain a filler with high photothermal properties; wherein the carbon source is any one of glucose, starch, amino acid, sucrose, etc., the metal salt is any one of ferric nitrate, nickel nitrate, sodium stannate, sodium tungstate, sodium molybdate, etc., the solvent is any one of water, ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol, etc., and the acid used for pickling is any one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc.;

[0040] Step 2, prepare spray coating:

[0041] The filler with high photothermal properties obtained in step 1, the organic polymer, paraffin, the leveling agent, the dispersant and the solvent are mixed in a mass ratio of 0.5-2:1-1.5:1-3:0.1-0.5:0.2-0.4:2-6, and stirred at 400-1000 rpm for 6-8 hours at 60-80° C. and ultrasonically crushed for 0.5-1 hour to obtain a spray coating; wherein the organic polymer is any one of epoxy resin, silicone resin, polytetrafluoroethylene and acrylic resin, the leveling agent is any one of MONENG-1154, polydimethylsiloxane, Levelling 620 associative leveling agent, etc., the dispersant is any one of Deqian 410, BYK-306 and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc., and the solvent is any one of water, isopropyl alcohol, xylene, acetone, etc.;

[0042] Step 3: Constructing a hydrophobic-photothermal-energy storage coating:

[0043] The spray coating in step 2 is placed in a high-pressure spray pot, the spraying pressure is adjusted to 10-15 MPa, the spraying angle is 45-90°, the spraying distance is maintained at 15-40 cm, the spraying rate is 30-60 cm / s, and the pretreated wind turbine blade is sprayed to obtain a hydrophobic-photothermal-energy storage coating;

[0044] Step 4: thermal curing and demoulding of the pattern;
