According to the condition of electrostatic balance of the conductor, the cage is an equipotential body with zero internal potential difference and is connected to the ground. When current flows through the cage, it can effectively discharge the current into the ground, isolating the electric field and electromagnetic wave interference outside the cage, and playing the role of electrostatic shielding.

[0003] The main reason for installing lightning protection nets on the nacelle of wind turbines is to protect against lightning. Wind turbines are usually located in open areas or on top of mountains, which are prone to lightning strikes. Therefore, effective lightning protection measures are essential to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. Lightning protection nets can guide lightning currents safely into the ground, preventing lightning from directly hitting electrical equipment in the nacelle, and reducing equipment damage or failures caused by lightning strikes.

[0004] During the installation process of the existing wind turbine cabin cover lightning shielding net, it is not convenient to form the lightning shielding net installed inside the wind turbine cabin into an integral lightning protection structure.

[0034] S3, copper mesh pasting, that is, pasting the copper mesh from bottom to top from the tail of the cabin to the impeller.

[0035] When pasting the copper mesh, first paste the tail section and the middle section of the cabin. When pasting the tail section and the middle section, cut the copper mesh according to the measurement results, starting from the lower left corner of the tail of the cabin, and gradually lay it flat to the upper right to ensure that the copper mesh is flat and neat and fits the cabin. At the position of the cabin light, cut to avoid the two bases at the bottom of the lampshade, and keep covering in the middle for pasting. When pasting the front section of the cabin, extend the copper mesh by 5CM at the modeling line to facilitate the connection of the ground wire. After pasting, paste copper tape at the seams of the copper mesh to ensure that the copper mesh forms a continuous whole.

[0036] S4. Apply epoxy resin glue, mix the epoxy resin glue and curing agent evenly to form glue, use a scraper to evenly apply the glue on the copper mesh, including all copper tapes, to ensure that the glue level is even and avoid dripping and gathering.

[0037] The ratio of epoxy resin glue to curing agent is 1:1.5. When mixing, stir for 30-40 seconds to make the glue turn pure white.

[0038] The proportion of the curing agent is adjusted according to the temperature on site. When the temperature is low, the proportion of the curing agent is increased, and when the temperature is high, the proportion of the curing agent is reduced.

[0039] When applying the glue, the staff wear masks and ensure that the cabin vents are open and air is flowing in the cabin.

[0040] The scraper includes a handle 1, the surface of the handle 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 2, one end of the handle 1 is fixedly connected with a threaded head 3, the surface of the threaded head 3 is threadedly sleeved with a threaded sleeve 10, one end of the threaded sleeve 10 is fixedly connected with a scraper 7, one side of the scraper 7 is respectively installed with an expansion plate 6 and a fixing member 9, the expansion plate 6 is movably connected with the scraper 7, a fixing bolt 8 is installed on the expansion plate 6, a plurality of mounting holes 11 are opened on the scraper 7, the fixing bolt 8 is threadedly connected with the mounting hole 11 to fix the expansion plate 6, and the upper and lower sides of the fixing member 9 They are all fixedly connected with a sliding rod 5, a sliding rod 5 is movably sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 5, the sliding rod 5 is fixedly connected to the expansion plate 6, and an arc plate 12 is movably connected to the other side of the scraper 7, an adjusting groove 17 and a limit groove 16 are provided on the arc plate 12, a threaded rod 14 is movably connected inside the adjusting groove 17, a limit block 13 is movably connected inside the limit groove 16, the threaded rod 14 and the limit block 13 are fixedly connected to the scraper 7, a nut 15 is threadedly sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod 14, and the nut 15 is installed on the adjusting groove 17 to fix it.

[0041] By setting a scraper, glue can be applied to the copper mesh and the copper tape. In the process of applying glue, the user holds the handle 1, and the anti-skid groove 2 increases the friction on the surface of the handle 1 to prevent the user from slipping during holding. The threaded sleeve 10 and the threaded head 3 connect the handle 1 and the scraper 7. Through the coordinated use of the threaded sleeve 10 and the threaded head 3, the scraper 7 can be disassembled and cleaned. The glue is located at the left end of the scraper 7. The user applies the glue through the scraper 7. When a large area needs to be applied, the expansion plate 6 is pulled outward, and the expansion plate 6 drives the sliding sleeve 4 to slide on the surface of the sliding rod 5. The sliding sleeve 4 and the sliding rod 5 limit the expansion plate 6. After the adjustment is completed, the fixing bolt 8 is screwed into The expansion plate 6 is fixed in the corresponding mounting hole 11.

Use M8 bolts to connect the ground wire and copper mesh.

[0044] S6. Final inspection: check the installation of the copper mesh, then cut off the excess copper mesh, clean up the site, and ensure that the work area is tidy.

[0045] When inspecting the copper mesh, check whether all the copper mesh are fully covered, whether the connections are tight, whether the glue is loose, and ensure that there are no omissions or errors.

[0046] By fully covering the copper mesh inside and outside the nacelle cover and ensuring that it forms a continuous whole, it can effectively guide lightning current into the ground, reduce the impact of lightning on the electronic equipment inside the wind turbine, and improve the lightning protection capability of the entire system.

[0047] By using a specially designed scraper tool, not only can the epoxy resin glue be applied efficiently, but it can also adapt to surfaces of different shapes, such as flat and curved surfaces, thus ensuring good adhesion between the copper mesh and the cabin surface and improving the installation quality and efficiency.
