[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the bionic veins of the fan blade of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The design method of the bionic vein structure of a large wind turbine blade includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Virtual partitioning of wind turbine blades and extraction of vein feature parameters

[0052] Virtual partitioning of blades: Divide the fan blades evenly into N partitions along the radial direction from the blade tip to the center of rotation, and each partition is approximately the total length L blade The partition boundary line is along the blade rotation trajectory, ensuring that the mechanical behavior of each partition under wind load is relatively independent; this helps to more accurately analyze the stress conditions of each partition and provide accurate data support for subsequent bionic design.

[0053] Extraction of leaf vein characteristic parameters: Select plant leaf veins with excellent mechanical properties and aerodynamic characteristics, and extract key parameters of the leaf vein network, including: main vein diameter dmain植物 , branching angle θ branch植物 , veinlet spacing s fine植物 , veinlet diameter d fine植物 ; These parameters are used to guide the design of bionic leaf vein structure; by imitating the structure of plant leaf veins, the fan blades can be given better mechanical properties and aerodynamic characteristics.

[0054] Step 2: Design of bionic vein structure of each virtual partition of the leaf

[0055] Based on the parameters of plant veins, these parameters are proportionally amplified or adjusted according to the leaf size and performance requirements to obtain the bionic vein parameters suitable for wind turbine blades: the main vein diameter d min (x) = k d ·d main植物 f(x), branching angle θ branch =θ branch植物 , veinlet spacing s fine =k s ·s fine植物 , veinlet diameter d fine = k′ d ·d fine植物 , where k s and k d is the geometric magnification factor, k′ d is the adjustment coefficient of the vein diameter, f(x) is a decreasing function of the blade length x, and is used to describe the variation of the main vein diameter along the blade length. According to the blade size and performance requirements, the parameters of the plant veins are proportionally amplified or adjusted with specific functions to obtain the bionic vein parameters suitable for wind turbine blades. This design enables the blade to distribute stress more evenly when subjected to force, thereby improving its carrying capacity. At the same time, by adjusting the variation of the main vein diameter along the blade length, the aerodynamic performance of the blade can be further optimized.

[0056] Main vein path planning: Design a continuous and smooth main vein path along the length of the blade. The main vein diameter d main (x) gradually decreases along the blade length x; the change relationship satisfies Where g(x) is a decreasing function; the continuous and smooth main vein path ensures that the blades can remain stable when subjected to force; this helps to reduce blade vibration and noise and improve the operating efficiency of the entire machine.

[0057] Design of branches and veins: Based on the main vein path, according to the branch angle θ branch Evenly arrange branches, the number of branches is n branch (i) is a constant in each partition, where i is the partition number; the veinlets start from the branch veins and are calculated according to the veinlet spacing s. fine and veinlet diameter d fineThe main veins are arranged on the basis of the main vein path to form a network distribution, covering the entire blade area. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the blade, but also improves its fatigue resistance. By optimizing the layout and parameters of the branch veins and fine veins, the aerodynamic performance of the blade can be further improved, and the wind energy conversion efficiency can be improved.

[0058] Step 3: Composite material application and thickness design

[0059] Composite material selection: choose a material with a tensile strength of σ t A composite material with an elastic modulus of E is used as the main material of the blade; this material has the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and can meet the high requirements of wind turbine blades on material performance; by reasonably selecting composite materials, the reliability and durability of the blade can be further improved.

[0060] Layer design: Based on the bionic leaf vein structure, the layering sequence and thickness distribution of the composite material are designed. The main part of the blade adopts alternating layers, and the thickness of each layer is t layer , total number of layers n layer It is determined by calculation based on the blade length and required strength; this design enables the blade to more effectively transfer and disperse stress when subjected to force, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity; at the same time, by optimizing the laying sequence and thickness distribution, the aerodynamic performance of the blade can be further improved and the drag coefficient can be reduced.

[0061] Step 4: Performance Analysis and Fatigue Assessment

[0062] Aerodynamic performance analysis: Using CFD software to simulate wind speed v wind Aerodynamic performance of the bionic blade and calculation of lift coefficient C L and the drag coefficient C D , and wind energy conversion efficiency η wind This analysis can intuitively reflect the aerodynamic performance of the blades and provide a strong basis for optimizing the design. By continuously optimizing the aerodynamic performance, the power generation efficiency and economic benefits of the wind turbine can be further improved.

[0063] Structural performance analysis: The finite element analysis method is used to conduct static analysis on the bionic blade to evaluate its stress distribution and deformation under extreme loads; this analysis can ensure the safety and reliability of the blade under extreme working conditions; by timely discovering and repairing potential structural problems, safety accidents and economic losses caused by blade failure can be avoided.

[0064] Fatigue analysis: Based on the service environment and load spectrum of the blade, fatigue analysis software is used to predict the fatigue life of the bionic blade. fThis analysis can predict the fatigue damage of blades during long-term operation, providing a scientific basis for formulating maintenance plans and replacement strategies; by replacing fatigue-damaged blades in a timely manner, the continuous and stable operation of the wind turbine can be ensured.

[0065] Using the results of performance analysis and fatigue analysis, the aerodynamic performance, structural performance, fatigue life and vibration characteristics of bionic blades are compared with traditional blades. Specifically, by quantitatively analyzing the parameters of bionic blades in improving wind energy conversion efficiency, reducing drag coefficient, enhancing structural stiffness, improving ultimate bearing capacity, extending fatigue life and controlling vibration instability, optimization ideas are provided for optimal design.

[0066] Step 5: Optimize the design

[0067] Parameter optimization: Based on performance analysis and fatigue assessment, the parameters of the bionic leaf vein structure (such as main vein diameter, branching angle of branch veins, fine vein density, etc.) are optimized and adjusted to further improve the aerodynamic and structural performance of the blade;

[0068] Specifically:

[0069] Data collection and analysis: First, all relevant data for performance analysis and fatigue assessment are collected, including aerodynamic performance (such as lift coefficient, drag coefficient, wind energy conversion efficiency), structural performance (such as stress distribution, deformation) and fatigue life prediction results; through in-depth analysis of these data, it is possible to accurately identify in which aspects the bionic blades show advantages over traditional blades, and in which areas there is still room for improvement.

[0070] Parameter adjustment: Based on the data analysis results, the parameters of the bionic leaf vein structure are optimized and adjusted; this includes adjusting the parameters of the main vein diameter, branching angle of the branch veins, diameter of the fine veins and the distance between the fine veins; for example, if the aerodynamic performance analysis shows that the lift coefficient is low, one can consider increasing the diameter of the main vein or adjusting the branching angle of the branch veins to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade; this targeted parameter adjustment is intended to maximize the aerodynamic and structural performance of the bionic blade.

[0071] Composite material optimization: According to the structural optimization results, the plying order and thickness distribution of the composite material are adjusted to match the optimized vein structure and optimize the overall performance of the blade.

[0072] Specifically:

[0073] Adjustment of the laying sequence: Adjust the laying sequence of the composite materials according to the structural optimization results. For example, if the structural performance analysis shows that the stress in a specific area of ​​the blade is higher, consider adding more layers of high-strength composite materials in that area to improve the load-bearing capacity of the blade. This can not only significantly improve the load-bearing capacity of the blade, but also effectively control deformation and ensure the stability of the blade under extreme working conditions.

[0074] Thickness distribution optimization: At the same time, the thickness distribution of the composite material is adjusted according to the optimized vein structure; this includes increasing or decreasing the material thickness in certain areas to match the strength requirements of the vein structure; by optimizing the thickness distribution, we minimize the use of materials and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0075] Material selection: We are also considering replacing composite materials with better performance to further improve the overall performance of the blades. By introducing new high-performance composite materials, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics or bio-based composite materials, the overall performance of the blades is further improved while reducing the impact on the environment.

[0076] Comprehensive evaluation and optimization

[0077] Overall performance evaluation: After each optimization iteration, the overall performance of the blade is comprehensively evaluated, including aerodynamic performance, structural performance, fatigue life, stiffness, ultimate strength and vibration instability. The design is further optimized based on the evaluation results to optimize the overall performance of the blade. The manufacturing process and cost factors of the blade are also considered. The feasibility, economy and environmental protection of the design are comprehensively evaluated to achieve the best balance between blade performance, cost and environment. This step ensures that the design optimization is not limited to the improvement of a single performance, but achieves comprehensive optimization of the comprehensive performance of the blade.

[0078] Design optimization: Based on the comprehensive evaluation results, the blade design is further optimized to achieve the best overall performance.

[0079] Through comprehensive evaluation, we strive to find the best balance between performance improvement and cost control, and achieve harmonious coexistence of blade performance, cost and environment.

[0080] Step 6: Verification and testing:

[0081] Prototype manufacturing: Based on the optimized design, a blade prototype is manufactured; this process not only verifies the effectiveness of the design optimization, but also accumulates valuable manufacturing experience for subsequent mass production.

[0082] Experimental verification: Experimental verification of the prototype blades, including aerodynamic performance tests, structural performance tests and fatigue life tests; these test data provide a solid experimental basis for further optimization of the design.

[0083] It also includes simulating blade performance under extreme weather conditions (such as strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, etc.), and evaluating the durability and reliability of blades in harsh environments such as sand, dust, and salt spray; these tests ensure that the blades can maintain stable and reliable performance under complex and changing environmental conditions.

[0084] Result analysis: Analyze the effectiveness of the optimized design based on the experimental results, and make further adjustments and optimizations as needed; make timely adjustments and optimizations for any problems or deficiencies found in the experiment to ensure that the final design is the best choice.

[0085] In summary, the present invention realizes the bionic optimization design of the fan blade structure by virtual partitioning and extracting the characteristic parameters of plant veins, which not only improves the aerodynamic performance and structural performance of the blade, but also significantly enhances the fatigue resistance of the blade, prolongs the service life, and further improves the overall performance of the blade through the application of composite materials and thickness design.
