Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of decommissioned wind turbine blade recycling, and particularly relates to an external shaft base of a water cutting robot. BACKGROUND

[0002] The service life of a wind turbine is generally 20-25 years, and discarded wind turbines can be recycled for reuse. The parts with recycling value include a base, a tower, a generator component, and a wind turbine blade. When recycling the wind turbine blade, the wind turbine blade needs to be cut due to its large size. A cutting machine with a blade is usually used for cutting. A large amount of dust is generated during the cutting process, and the cutting debris also splashes everywhere, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up, and also causes air pollution to the working environment. A high-pressure water jet cutting technology is disclosed in the related art, but it is not applied to the cutting of the wind turbine blade. Moreover, for the thick and hard material of the wind turbine blade, it is difficult to cut simply by using water. Currently, there is no document that discloses a water and sand mixed jet cutting method.

[0003] It is found through repeated experiments that the effect of water and sand mixed jet cutting is remarkable, and the wind turbine blade can be easily cut without generating dust. When cutting the wind turbine blade, an external shaft base is needed to cooperate with the robot to move and cut the cutting tool head in multiple directions and at multiple angles. However, the conventional shaft base needs to be provided with a sliding channel to cooperate with the movement of the cutting tool head. Water will flow into the inside of the shaft base through the sliding channel, causing the internal equipment or components to malfunction due to water immersion, or to rust due to long-term water immersion, thereby causing the equipment to be unable to be normally used.
