Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine blade recycling and processing technology, and in particular to a tracked chassis assembly for a retired wind turbine blade cutting robot. Background Technology

[0002] Because wind power projects are mostly located in remote areas with long transportation distances, and the large size of retired wind turbine blades leads to high recycling costs, the current economic benefits of disposing of wind turbine blades are poor. Before physically recycling old wind turbines, the blades should be removed and cut into plates, blocks, strips, etc., of varying sizes according to their intended use. The main material of wind turbine blades is generally a composite material of glass fiber and epoxy resin, which has high strength and good mechanical properties, and can maintain good structural quality even after retirement.

[0003] In related technologies, the cutting of composite materials for wind turbine blades typically employs mechanical or water jet cutting, with drive wheels propelling the cutting equipment to the appropriate cutting position. However, the small contact area between the drive wheels and the ground results in poor operational stability. When encountering obstacles such as stones, the equipment experiences bumps, which can easily cause some components to loosen, affecting its use. Furthermore, while rubber tires are usually used to reduce bumps, the sparks flying outwards during cutting can easily deform or ignite the rubber tires. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, embodiments of this invention provide a tracked chassis assembly for a decommissioned wind turbine blade cutting robot, which can improve operational stability.

The center of the base has a mounting hole for mounting a rotary drive mechanism, and the two ends of the left and right sides of the base have mounting positions for mounting the track mounting seats. There are four track mounting seats, which are fixedly connected to the four mounting positions respectively. Each track mounting seat is suitable for connecting a track assembly.

[0006] In some embodiments, the base includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and two side plates. The upper plate and the lower plate are arranged in parallel, and the two side plates are arranged in parallel. The side plates are perpendicular to the upper plate.

Several support members are fixedly connected inside the cavity. The support members are fixedly connected between the upper plate and the lower plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the upper plate, lower plate, and side plate are all of equal length.

[0008] In some embodiments, the track mounting base includes an outer protective plate and a connecting plate. The outer protective plate is located outside the side plate and is parallel to the side plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected between the outer protective plate and the side plate. The connecting plate and the outer protective plate are perpendicular to each other. Corresponding positions of the outer protective plate and the side plate have shaft holes for connecting the output shaft.

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0016] The tracked chassis assembly of the decommissioned wind turbine blade cutting robot according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a tracked chassis assembly for a decommissioned wind turbine blade cutting robot, comprising: a base and track mounting seats. The center of the base has a mounting hole 1 for mounting a rotary drive mechanism, and the two ends of the left and right sides of the base have mounting positions for mounting track mounting seats. There are four track mounting seats, which are fixedly connected to the four mounting positions respectively. Each track mounting seat is suitable for connecting a track assembly 11.

[0018] In this embodiment of the invention, four track mounting seats are provided for mounting four track assemblies 11. Compared with wheel sets, the track has a larger contact area with the ground, which increases the coefficient of friction with the ground, thereby improving the stability of operation and preventing slippage.

[0019] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the base includes an upper plate 2, a lower plate 9, and two side plates 3. The upper plate 2 and the lower plate 9 are arranged in parallel, and the two side plates 3 are arranged in parallel. The side plates 3 are perpendicular to the upper plate 2. The two side plates 3 are fixedly connected to both sides between the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 9. A cavity is formed between the upper plate 2, the lower plate 9, and the two side plates 3. Several support members are fixedly connected inside the cavity. The support members are fixedly connected between the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 9.

[0020] The cavity houses the motor for driving the tracks, the rotary drive mechanism for rotating the central control panel, the controller, and related auxiliary devices. Supporting components are installed within the cavity to improve the stability of the base.

[0021] In some embodiments, the upper plate 2, the lower plate 9, and the side plate 3 are all of equal length.

[0022] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the track mounting base includes an outer protective plate 5 and a connecting plate 6. The outer protective plate 5 is located outside the side plate 3 and is parallel to the side plate 3. The connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected between the outer protective plate 5 and the side plate 3. The connecting plate 6 and the outer protective plate 5 are perpendicular to each other. The corresponding positions of the outer protective plate 5 and the side plate 3 have shaft holes for connecting the output shaft.

[0023] Understandably, the output shaft is used to connect to the motor that drives the tracks.

[0024] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer protective plate 5. The upper surface of the outer protective plate 5 is higher than the connecting plate 6. Two first stiffening plates 4 are fixedly connected between the outer protective plate 5, side plate 3, upper plate 2 and connecting plate 6 of each track mounting seat. This can improve the connection stability between the track mounting seat and the base.

[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, two square tubes 7 are fixedly connected between each outer protective plate 5 and the side plate 3. The two square tubes 7 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the outer protective plate 5, and the first stiffening plate 4 is located between the two square tubes 7. This can further improve the connection stability between the track mounting base and the base.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support includes several second stiffeners 8, which are fixedly connected between the upper plate 2, the lower plate 9 and the side plate 3 and / or between the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 9. The second stiffeners 8 are located around the mounting holes 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lower end face of the side plate 3 is located below the lower plate 9, and a third stiffening plate 10 is fixedly connected between the side plate 3 and the lower plate 9. This can further improve the stability of the base.

[0028] In some embodiments, the base has clearance openings on both the front and rear sides.

[0029] Understandably, since a cutting device is installed above the base, including a rotating or movable cutting saw, a clearance opening is provided to prevent damage to the base during cutting.
