[0002] As a key device for converting wind energy into electrical energy, wind turbines play a crucial role in the energy structure. Wind turbine blades are the core components for capturing wind energy, and their design shape is repeatedly optimized to ensure efficient conversion of wind energy into mechanical energy at different wind speeds.
[0003] However, in cold regions or winter, icing phenomenon easily occurs on the surface of the blade. Icing changes the original aerodynamic shape of the blade, destroys the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade surface, increases the air flow resistance, and reduces the lift, resulting in reduced wind energy captured by the blade at the same wind speed, and thus reducing the power generation efficiency of the wind turbine. Secondly, after the blade ices, the additional ice layer mass changes the center of gravity of the blade, increases the centrifugal force of the blade during rotation, and causes hub cracks or main shaft bending failures. In addition, ice shedding poses a serious threat to the equipment and personnel around the wind turbine.
[0004] Currently, most of the deicing technologies for wind turbine blades use electric heating, mechanical deicing, and chemical deicing. However, the above deicing technologies generally cannot effectively solve the icing phenomenon of wind turbine blades.

[0058] It should be noted that, compared with the existing surface super-hydrophobic modification technologies such as spraying method, chemical deposition method and plasma treatment method, the present application forms a rough structure with a preset pattern on the surface of the polyurethane substrate by means of laser micro-machining technology, endowing the polyurethane material with super-hydrophobic performance and anti-icing ability, while ensuring that its mechanical properties are not affected; wherein, by taking advantage of the characteristics of the micro-nano multi-level hierarchical morphology of the rough structure to control the surface roughness, and by increasing the surface roughness and cooperating with the low surface energy characteristics of the polyurethane, the super-hydrophobic performance is realized; at the same time, forming a rough structure with a preset pattern by laser surface micro-machining can significantly reduce the actual contact area of the liquid droplet with the super-hydrophobic surface of the polyurethane, effectively delay the icing time, reduce the adhesion strength of the ice layer, and significantly improve the anti-icing ability of the material.
