Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric field blade conductivity measurement, and in particular to an offshore wind farm blade conductivity measurement device. Background Art
[0002] Thunderstorms are more common in summer and last longer. When the wind turbine is running, the blades rotate to the highest point and are struck by direct lightning. The huge energy released by the lightning strike causes damage to the unit blades, generator insulation breakdown, control components burning, and even fires, causing huge direct and indirect economic losses to the wind farm. Therefore, the lightning protection performance of the wind turbine is very important, and it is necessary to regularly check and measure the conductivity of the blade tip lightning rod to the tower base grounding point.
[0003] In the related technology, a metal net bag is usually used. A rope is used to lower the net bag from the top of the cabin to the tip of the blade. The cable led out of the net bag is connected to the instrument to measure the resistance from the blade tip lightning rod to the grounding point at the bottom of the tower. However, the above method is risky for operators to work outside the cabin, and it is difficult to put the net bag on the blade tip. It takes a long time to measure three blades, and the operation efficiency is low. At the same time, a hanging basket can also be used. The hanging basket is lowered to the tip of the blade and the wire is connected to the measuring instrument. However, the cost of using a hanging basket for offshore operations is high and the operation risk is high. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 , further details of this application are given.
[0025] Example 1 A device for measuring the conductivity of blades in offshore wind farms, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a basic rod 1, which is configured as a rectangular channel steel. The basic rod 1 is provided with multiple pairs of through holes 11 for passing bolts, and in this embodiment, two pairs of through holes 11 are provided. The two pairs of through holes 11 are arranged along the length direction of the basic rod 1. A rotating rod 2 is provided at the midpoint of the length direction of the basic rod 1, and the length direction of the rotating rod 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the basic rod 1, and the rotating rod 2 is also configured as a rectangular channel steel.
[0026] The rotating rod 2 is provided with a telescopic rod 3, and the telescopic rod 3 is arranged as a multi-stage telescopic rod 3. The telescopic rod 3 is arranged along the length direction of the rotating rod 2, and the axis of the telescopic rod 3 is parallel to the length direction of the rotating rod 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected with a copper net bag 4, and the rotating rod 2 is provided with a fixing component 5 for fixing the telescopic rod 3 on the rotating rod 2.
[0027] The fixing assembly 5 includes a plurality of U-shaped locks 51, and in this embodiment, two U-shaped locks 51 are provided.

The ends of the U-shaped lock 51 are both threadedly connected with locking nuts 52, and the locking nuts 52 are tightly attached to the side wall of the base rod 1 and fix the U-shaped lock 51 to the rotating rod 2. The U-shaped lock 51 presses the telescopic rod 3 onto the rotating rod 2. Therefore, by rotating the locking nut 52, the locking nut 52 can be disengaged from the U-shaped lock 51, thereby canceling the fixation of the U-shaped lock 51 on the rotating rod 2.
[0028] Two mounting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the side of the base member 1 facing away from the telescopic rod 3, and the two mounting plates 6 are arranged in parallel. A rotating screw 7 is inserted and rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 6, and the axial direction of the rotating screw 7 is parallel to the length direction of the base member 1. Rotating nuts 71 are threadedly connected to both ends of the rotating screw 7, and the two mounting plates 6 are located between the two rotating nuts 71.
[0029] Two connecting pieces 8 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 2, and the two connecting pieces 8 are placed between the two mounting pieces 6 and the connecting pieces 8 correspond to the mounting pieces 6 one by one. The mounting pieces 6 are passed through and rotatably connected to the rotating screw 7. The rotating rod 2 is rotatably connected to the base rod 1 through the rotating screw 7 and can rotate around the base rod 1 to a certain extent.

Then, the rotation of the telescopic rod 3 on the basic rod 1 can be achieved by rotating the rotating rod 2 on the basic rod 1, so that the copper net bag 4 abuts against the blade. Then, the line resistance of the blade tip lightning receptor can be directly transmitted to the ground equipment through the copper net bag 4, so as to measure the line resistance of the blade tip lightning receptor.

A tooth groove 91 is provided on the arc-shaped outer wall of the rotating disk 9, and the tooth groove 91 is arranged along the circumference of the rotating disk 9. The limiting mechanism 10 includes a limiting tooth block 101 slidably connected in the adjusting groove 12, and a limiting spring 102 is fixedly connected between the limiting tooth block 101 and the groove bottom of the adjusting groove 12. Under the action of the limiting spring 102, the tip of the limiting tooth block 101 abuts against the tooth groove 91 and limits the rotation of the rotating disk 9.
[0034] The limiting mechanism 10 also includes an adjusting assembly 103 for adjusting the position of the limiting tooth block 101. The adjusting assembly 103 includes an adjusting rope 1031.
