Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wind power blades, in particular to a wind power blade anti-vortex net installation and removal device and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the development of blades, the single machine capacity of wind turbines is continuously expanding, and the length of blades exceeds 160 meters, and the diameter of blade roots exceeds 6 meters has become a trend. With the increase of blades, the vortex shedding phenomenon of blades at low wind speed is highlighted, which brings a series of problems to the storage, transportation and idling of blades.

[0003] The blade vortex shedding vibration refers to that when the wind flows through the wind power blade, due to the non-streamline design of the blade, the vortexes will be generated alternately on both sides of the blade and separate from the surface of the blade. These vortexes interact with the existing vortexes, thereby causing the vibration phenomenon of the blade. With the increase of the blade, the vortex shedding phenomenon at low wind speed is more serious. With the increase of wind speed, the probability of vortex shedding is greatly reduced after the blade is connected to the grid and generates electricity, and it rarely occurs. Therefore, after the wind power blade is manufactured, it is necessary to take anti-vortex measures to reduce the harm of blade vortex shedding in the storage, transportation or idling of the whole machine in the wind field.

[0004] One of the most common and effective methods of anti-vortex at present is to install a net on the tail of the blade to disrupt the trajectory of the wind and prevent the formation of vortexes with stable frequency, thereby reducing the risk of vortex shedding. How to effectively install and remove the net has become the key point whether the net can be effectively implemented.

[0005] Currently, there are mainly two kinds of installation and removal of the net cover scheme for the mainstream blade. One is that the net cover rope is tied to the rain ring outside the hub fairing of the blade root. After the blade is hoisted, the rope cannot be directly removed outside the fairing in the air, and the net cover needs to be removed by the high-altitude crane and the high-altitude spiderman, which is low in efficiency and high in cost. Or, during the interval from hoisting the blade to grid-connected power generation, the blade can only be in a state without the net cover, and the vortex risk cannot be avoided. The second is that the net cover rope is tied to the hub fairing inside the blade root or the fairing. After the blade is hoisted, the operator can remove the net rope from the inside of the hub by entering the hub through the machine cabin. If the net rope cannot be removed from the inside, the rope needs to be cut from the outside of the cabin by the high-altitude crane and the spiderman, so as to remove the net cover. In addition, if the net cover cannot be removed due to weather factors such as rain, the net cover also needs to be removed by the basket, so the scheme is usually installed and fixed during hoisting, and the blade is removed before grid-connected power generation. There are quality risks during hoisting and machine shutdown and idling. The blade needs to use clamps and hangers during hoisting. In the case of wind, the tail of the blade is easy to be wound together with the hanger and the clamp, which affects hoisting. When the blade is hoisted and idled, the excess length of the rope caused by the weight of the blade will enter the cabin through the gap between the hub fairing and the cabin cover, and will be wound on the main shaft, causing damage to the related parts of the main shaft, or will be wound in the lightning protection accessories inside the hub through the gap between the fairing and the rain ring, causing damage.
