Therefore, in order to avoid pollution of the environment and waste of resources, it is necessary to recycle the retired wind turbine blades. In the prior art, pyrolysis is used to process the wind turbine blades. The purpose of pyrolysis is to recover glass fiber from the retired wind turbine blades.

[0055] A spraying assembly is arranged inside the kiln body 31 to form a pretreatment kiln 3, which can spray swelling agent on the cut fan blades in the kiln body, which is beneficial to reduce the stability of the cross-linked structure of the epoxy resin in the fan blade and promote subsequent cracking. Therefore, this device can be used alone for spraying swelling agent, and can be used alone for pyrolysis of fan blades to form a pyrolysis kiln 4. It can also be a set of devices to first spray swelling agent and then pyrolyze the fan blades after a set time. During the pyrolysis process, protective gas can be introduced through the air inlet. During the swelling agent spraying process, the volatilized swelling agent can be discharged through the air outlet. This fully broadens the use range of the device and has certain universality.

The area of ​​the baffle in the circumferential direction of the rotor is greater than 1 / 2 of the circumferential area of ​​the rotor and the area of ​​the material inlet. The area of ​​the baffle is less than 4 / 5 of the circumferential area of ​​the rotor, so as to close the opening of the housing during the rotation of the rotor. A gas inlet or outlet is provided at the top of the housing. A first motor passes through the top of the housing and connects to the rotor. The output shaft of a second motor passes through the bottom of the housing and the bottom of the rotor and connects to the material conveying mechanism inside the rotor. The material conveying mechanism includes multiple rotating rollers, with driven sprockets at the ends of the rollers. The output shaft of the second motor is connected to a driving roller, with a driving sprocket at the end of the driving roller. A chain is arranged around the driving and driven sprockets. A sealing strip is provided at the rotor opening, which can contact the housing to ensure sealing during rotor rotation. Support rings are provided between the upper and lower parts of the rotor and the housing. The support rings are rigid annular pieces. The support rings provide support and sealing for the upper and lower parts of the rotor to prevent protective gas from leaking between the rotor and the housing. The modular structure enables the recycling of larger-sized fibers, increasing the value of recycled fibers. At the same time, the modular structure facilitates manufacturing, reduces costs, and is suitable for expanding processing capacity, making it easy to achieve large-scale disposal.
