Therefore, lightning conductors are usually installed on the webs of wind turbine blades to protect the blades from damage by lightning. Wind turbine blades deform during rotation, and the deformation at the far end of the blade is greater than that at the root of the blade.

However, the fixing structure uses positioning blocks to lay the lightning conductor straight on the web, and under the deformation of the blade, the lightning conductor is still prone to breakage. Summary of the invention

[0004] A technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is: how to prevent the lightning conductor from breaking during the rotation of the wind turbine blades.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lightning conductor further comprises a plurality of continuously arranged curved segments, one end of the plurality of continuously arranged curved segments being connected to the web and the other end being connected to the root of the wind turbine blade through the shell of the wind turbine blade.

[0010] In some embodiments, buckles for fixing the lightning protection wire to the housing are provided between two of the plurality of continuously arranged curved segments.

[0024] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a wind turbine blade assembly, including a web 201 arranged in a wind turbine blade 2 and a lightning conductor 1 arranged on the web 201, the lightning conductor 1 including a plurality of straight segments 101 and a curved segment 102, wherein on the web 201, the straight segment 101 is fixed straightly to the web 201, the plurality of straight segments 101 and the plurality of curved segments 102 are alternately arranged in the length direction of the web 201, and the curved segment 102 can provide the lightning conductor 1 with a deformation margin for deformation of the web 201 along the length direction.

[0026] Specifically, the straight section 101 of the lightning conductor 1 extends along the length direction of the web 201, and the curved section 102 of the lightning conductor 1 is freely placed on the web 201 of the wind turbine blade 2, and both ends of each curved section 102 on the web 201 are connected to the straight section 101 fixed on the web 201, and the conductor length of the curved section 102 exceeds the distribution length of the curved section 102 along the length direction of the web 201, and the excess part is the deformation margin. During the operation of the wind turbine, the wind turbine blade 2 will be greatly deformed by the combined effect of its own gravity, wind force and rotational inertia. When the web 201 is deformed, the multiple curved sections 102 distributed along its length direction can move relative to the web 201 to adapt to the deformation, effectively reducing the influence of the deformation on the straight section 101 fixed on the web 201, and avoiding the partial breakage or overall breakage of the lightning conductor 1 under the deformation.

[0027] In some embodiments, the total length of all the curved segments 102 on the web 201 should account for 2%-10% of the length of the web 201. On the one hand, when there are too few curved segments 102, the deformation margin they can provide is insufficient and cannot effectively adapt to the deformation of the web 201. The lightning conductor 1 is prone to breakage during the deformation of the web 201. On the other hand, when there are too many curved segments 102, the straight segments 101 that can provide restraint for the lightning conductor 1 will be reduced accordingly, which is insufficient to provide sufficient centripetal force. The lightning conductor 1 is prone to slip toward the far end of the blade during the rotation of the wind turbine blade 2, affecting the lightning protection effect.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the straight segments 101 and the curved segments 102 on the web 201 are evenly and alternately distributed, which makes it easier to prepare materials and install the lightning conductor 1 during the production of the wind turbine blade 2, and facilitates batch production. In other embodiments, according to conventional experience, the deformation amplitude of the distal end of the wind turbine blade 2 is usually greater than that of the root, and the straight segments 101 and the curved segments 102 can be arranged in an uneven distribution. Specifically, the single length and / or distribution density of the curved segments 102 can be arranged in a manner that the distal end of the blade is greater than the root of the blade, so as to better adapt to the deformation of the wind turbine blade 2.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, on the web 201 , the ratio of the wire length of the curved segment 102 to the distribution length of the curved segment 102 in the length direction of the web 201 is 1.05-1.2.

[0030] Specifically, in each curved section 102, the amount by which the conductor length exceeds its distribution length is the deformation margin, and the arrangement of each curved section 102 is achieved by canceling the constraint of the straight section 101 in the distribution length in exchange for the deformation margin. When the deformation margin in a single curved section 102 is too small, in order to make the lightning conductor 1 have sufficient deformation margin, more straight sections 101 need to be replaced by curved sections 102, which will lead to a reduction in the straight sections 101 that can provide constraint force for the lightning conductor 1, and the straight sections 101 are insufficient to provide sufficient centripetal force. The lightning conductor 1 is prone to slip toward the far end of the blade during the rotation of the wind turbine blade 2, affecting the lightning protection effect. When the deformation margin in a single curved section 102 is too large, since the curved section 102 is freely arranged on the web 201, the lightning conductor 1 is prone to excessive bending in the process of following the deformation of the web 201, so that the local bending radius of the lightning conductor 1 is less than the specified minimum bending radius, causing damage to the internal structure of the lightning conductor 1 and affecting its conductive performance.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 includes a conductive core 103 and an insulating sheath 104 for wrapping the conductive core 103 , and a plurality of cable ties 3 tied to the outside of the insulating sheath 104 are arranged at intervals on the lightning conductor 1 .

[0032] Specifically, when the lightning conductor 1 is just shipped, its insulating sheath 104 is wrapped around the conductive core 103, and there is an adhesive force between the two to prevent relative displacement between the conductive core 103 and the insulating sheath 104. After the lightning conductor 1 is installed on the wind turbine blade 2, under the repeated deformation of the wind turbine blade 2, since the elastic modulus of the insulating sheath 104 is usually much smaller than the conductive core 103 made of metal material, relative displacement will occur repeatedly between the two, causing the failure of the adhesive force between the insulating sheath 104 and the conductive core 103, and a channel for the conductive core 103 to move freely appears inside the lightning conductor 1. The conductive core 103 is more likely to break in the absence of external constraints. In actual applications, after the lightning conductor 1 without the cable tie 3 is broken, a large relative displacement has occurred between the conductive core 103 inside and the insulating sheath 104 outside, making it difficult to locate the breakpoint and increase the difficulty of repair. By arranging cable ties 3 at intervals on the lightning conductor 1, the insulating outer skin 104 and the conductive core 103 are tied tightly, thereby enhancing the integrity of the insulating outer skin 104 and the conductive core 103, effectively reducing the possibility of relative displacement between the two under repeated deformation, thereby causing the conductive core 103 to break, and also reducing the difficulty of breakpoint positioning and subsequent repair operations.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the web 201 of the wind turbine blade 2 includes a leading edge web 2011 and a trailing edge web 2012 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the lightning conductor 1 is arranged on the side of the trailing edge web 2012 facing away from the leading edge web 2011 .

[0034] Specifically, in order to meet its own load resistance requirements, a double web structure of a leading edge web 2011 and a trailing edge web 2012 is usually adopted inside a large blade. In the existing arrangement of the lightning conductor 1, for the convenience of installation, the lightning conductor 1 is arranged on the side of the trailing edge web 2012 facing the leading edge web 2011. When the lightning conductor 1 breaks, due to the insufficient distance between the two webs, it is inconvenient for the staff to move between the two webs when performing maintenance, and the maintenance efficiency is low. The lightning conductor 1 is arranged on the side of the trailing edge web 2012 facing away from the leading edge web 2011, which is convenient for the staff to perform maintenance on the lightning conductor 1 later.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the straight section 101 of the lightning conductor 1 is fixed to the web 201 by an adhesive cloth 4 engaged on the web 201 .

[0036] Specifically, compared with the integral injection molding fixation method commonly used in the industry, the use of adhesive cloth 4 for manual operation can more flexibly adjust the distribution length and distribution position of the curved section 102 of the lightning conductor 1. If the integral injection molding method is used, the mold used for injection molding needs to be frequently replaced, resulting in a significant increase in production costs. The use of adhesive cloth 4 can more flexibly produce wind turbine blades 2 that adapt to different working conditions, and the use of adhesive cloth 4 for manual operation can effectively reduce bubbles in the solidified layer and enhance the fixing effect.

[0037] In some embodiments, the adhesive cloth 4 can be used to fix the straight segment 101 by hand-pasting glass fiber cloth. Compared with the one-piece infusion molding fixation method, the glass fiber reinforced plastic used for infusion needs to be fixed at a curing temperature of 70-80°C. After the infusion is completed and the room temperature is restored, due to the temperature change, a gap will appear between the lightning conductor 1 and the curing layer wrapped on its surface, affecting the fixing effect. When the glass fiber cloth is hand-pasted, the working temperature is maintained between 18-40°C when the glass fiber cloth is manually laid, and then kept at room temperature for curing. While ensuring the curing strength, the influence of the temperature difference after curing on the fixing effect is avoided.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 further includes a plurality of continuously arranged curved segments 102 , one end of the plurality of continuously arranged curved segments 102 is connected to the web 201 , and the other end is connected to the root of the wind turbine blade 2 through the shell 202 of the wind turbine blade 2 .

[0039] Specifically, the root of the web 201 is connected to the blade root baffle 205, and the wind turbine blade 2 is connected to the flange 8 inside the unit as a whole, and the blade root baffle 205 is provided between the flange 8 and the web 201. The root of the web 201 close to the flange 8 is affected by the operation of the wind turbine unit, and at the same time, this part is less affected by the wind force and the rotational inertia force, and will vibrate with small amplitude and high frequency, which is different from the reciprocating motion with large amplitude and low frequency occurring at other positions of the web 201.

[0040] Therefore, when installing the lightning conductor, the position of the web 201 10-20m away from the flange 8 is set as the starting point, and the lightning conductor 1 between the flange 8 and the blade root baffle 205 is bent and arranged inside the unit. Between the blade root baffle 205 and the starting point, a plurality of continuous curved sections 102 are arranged on the shell 202 to adapt to the vibration of the root of the web 201. From the starting point to the far end of the web 201, the straight sections 101 and the curved sections 102 are arranged alternately to adapt to the reciprocating motion with large amplitude and low frequency. Differentiating the layout according to the deformation type can enable the lightning conductor 1 installed on the wind turbine blade 2 to better adapt to the deformation occurring during operation.

[0041] In some embodiments, the shell 202 of the wind turbine blade 2 includes a windward surface 2021 and a leeward surface 2022. The lightning conductor 1 is arranged on the leeward surface 2022 of the shell 202 and is connected to the flange 8 through the blade root baffle 205 to reduce the external influence on the lightning conductor 1 at the blade root position. The lightning conductor 1 is transformed from the web 201 to the shell 202, and is provided with a curved transition section 105. The conductor in the transition section 105 is laid along a curve. To facilitate the curved laying, the transition section 105 may include a fixed section and a free laying section using an adhesive cloth 4, and the deflection angle thereof needs to be greater than 135° to avoid damage to the internal structure of the lightning conductor 1 and affect the lightning protection capability of the equipment.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, buckles 5 for fixing the lightning conductor 1 to the housing 202 are provided between two of the plurality of continuously arranged curved segments 102. Specifically, the buckles 5 provided between two curved segments 102 can effectively fix the lightning conductor 1 to the housing 202 of the wind turbine blade 2 with a smaller fixing area, thereby reducing the influence of the fixed position under the vibration of the root of the web 201. In other embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 can also be fixed to the housing 202 by partial gluing.

[0043] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, an adhesive cloth 4 is laid on the outside of the buckle 5, which can strengthen the fixing effect of the buckle 5 on the lightning conductor 1 on the one hand, and protect the buckle 5 on the other hand, reduce the impact of the external environment on the buckle 5, and can be strengthened by using multiple layers of adhesive cloth 4. Among them, the adhesive cloth 4 is preferably glass fiber cloth, and can also be insulating tape.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 is connected to a lightning recorder 6 at the root of the wind turbine blade 2. Specifically, the lightning recorder 6 is arranged in series on the lightning conductor 1 to accurately record the peak value, time, and number of lightning currents passing through the wind turbine blade 2. When abnormal damage occurs to the equipment, analysis can be performed based on the recorded data, which is convenient for the staff to find the cause of the accident.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 is connected to a lightning receptor 7 at a position located at the far end of the wind turbine blade 2. Specifically, the lightning receptor 7 is arranged at the far end of the wind turbine blade 2 and is connected in series with the lightning conductor 1 to receive direct lightning discharge and effectively protect other parts of the wind turbine from lightning strikes.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the lightning conductor 1 is connected to the connecting bolt 801 of the flange 8 through the terminal 802, and the connecting bolt 801 is movably arranged on the connecting piece 803 fixed on the flange 8, so as to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the device.

[0047] The present disclosure also provides an assembly method for a wind turbine blade assembly, comprising: S1, laying a lightning conductor 1 on a web 201 along its length direction; S2, dividing the lightning conductor 1 into alternating straight segments 101 and curved segments 102 along the length direction of the web 201; S3, fixing the straight segment 101 to the web 201.

[0048] In some embodiments, the lightning conductor 1 includes a conductive core 103 and an insulating sheath 104 for wrapping the conductive core 103 , and a plurality of cable ties 3 tied to the outside of the insulating sheath 104 are arranged at intervals on the lightning conductor 1 ; in S1 , before laying the lightning conductor 1 , a plurality of cable ties 3 are tied to the outside of the insulating sheath 104 at intervals.

[0049] Taking a large wind turbine blade with a web 201 length of 95m as an example, the wind turbine blade assembly is described, wherein the conductive core 103 of the lightning conductor 1 is made of tinned copper or aluminum alloy and meets the requirements of IEC61400-24 specification, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive core 103 is not less than 70 square millimeters; the following hand-layup resin model is SW 2513-A / SW 2513-BF, and the mass ratio is 100:28~100:32; the following adhesive model is WD3135S / WD3134S, and the mass ratio is 100:42~100:48; the adhesive cloth 4 is made of glass fiber cloth; the clip 5 is a U-shaped pipe clamp, model is DN20 (matching arc pressure plate, nut), the implementation standard is JB / ZQ4519-97, and the pipe clamp thread length is not less than 40mm; the end face of the flange 8 is taken as the reference point, set to L0m, and the starting point on the web 201 is set at L15m. The specific steps are as follows: ①. Divide the installation area of ​​the lightning conductor 1 on the wind turbine blade 2: 1) The lightning conductor 1 from L0m to the blade root baffle 205 is bent and arranged inside the wind turbine; 2) The lightning conductor 1 from the blade root baffle 205 to the starting point L15m is continuously laid with 6-8 curved sections 102 on the leeward side 2022 of the shell 202; 3) The lightning conductor 1 from L15m to the far end of the web 201 is arranged on the axis of the trailing edge web 2012 toward the trailing edge 204 of the blade. Except for the ranges of L25m-L25.5m, L40m-L40.5m, L55m-L55.5m, L70m-L70.5m, and L85m-L85.5m which are set as the curved section 102 and the branch points of the lightning conductor 1 (such as between the straight section 101 and the transition section 105, and between the lightning conductor 1 and the lightning receptor 7), the rest of the ranges are set as the straight section 101.

[0050] The setting requirements of the curved section 102 are shown in Figure 5 (Length: 700~750mm, width: 180~200mm).

[0051] ②, fix the lightning conductor 1 on the web 201 through hand-molded glass fiber reinforced plastics, the specific steps are as follows: 1) After the web 201 is cast, place the rear edge web 2012 where the lightning conductor 1 is to be installed on the designated tooling, clean the side of the lightning conductor 1 to ensure that the surface is a clean fiberglass rough surface for a firm connection; 2) Lay the lightning conductor 1 on the web 201 from the root to the distal end along the axis according to the setting method of S1. Before laying, tie a tie 3 every 2m. After tying, cut off the excess part of the tie 3. Do not tie the bending section 102 and the above-mentioned branch point. During the operation, ensure that the lightning conductor 1 is intact and the surface is clean; 3) Cutting fiberglass cloth. The fiberglass cloth uses biaxial fiber cloth, with two layers in total, with widths of 150mm and 200mm respectively, and lengths of 11000mm. The cutting tolerance is 0~10mm; 4) The hand-layup resin adopts a special hand-layup system composed of epoxy resin main agent SW 2513-A and curing agent SW 2513-BF. Prepare the hand-layup resin according to the mixing ratio of epoxy resin main agent and curing agent. Test the mixing ratio of the hand-layup resin system and use it only after the ratio meets the requirements. Calculate the total amount of hand-layup resin to be prepared according to the glue content of glass fiber cloth of 35-45% (mass ratio); 5) Wetting of hand-laid fiberglass cloth. Spread the fiberglass cloth in the order of laying, lay it on a clean flat plate or vacuum bag film, use a brush or scraper to dip the hand-laid resin and apply it evenly layer by layer on the surface of the fiberglass cloth. After a certain size is applied, roll up the cloth layer for later use; 6) Laying of hand-laid fiberglass cloth. The working environment requires a relative humidity of ≤75% and a temperature between 18-40°C. After the working environment meets the requirements, cover the fiberglass cloth soaked in hand-laid resin over the lightning conductor 1 arranged on the web 201 in the order of cloth layers, except for the bending section 102 of the lightning conductor 1 and the above-mentioned branch point position, and use a scraper to press the cloth layer. The fiberglass cloth layer is firmly attached to the lightning conductor 1 and the fiberglass reinforced plastic on the surface of the web 201, without bubbles and wrinkles; when pressing, start from the lightning conductor 1 along the width direction of the fiberglass cloth. The hand-laid fiberglass cloth must be consistent with the center line of the lightning conductor 1. When laying in sections, the axial overlap width is 50mm~100mm; 7) Lay out the release cloth and fix the plastic tube. After the hand-laid fiberglass cloth is laid, place a layer of release cloth on the surface of the fiberglass cloth. The width of the release cloth is 300mm.
