Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fixing fixture technology, specifically a fixing fixture for PET core material for raising the trailing edge of wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] Fixtures are specialized auxiliary devices used in product manufacturing or assembly processes to precisely position and reliably clamp workpieces, molds, or components, ensuring they remain in their preset position and orientation throughout the entire processing flow. They achieve rapid clamping and release through mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic principles and are key process equipment for ensuring product consistency, improving production efficiency, and enhancing quality stability.

[0003] During the mold-closing process of raising the core material at the trailing edge of wind turbine blades, operators often use manual methods to fix the PET core material to ensure it adheres to the trailing edge of the mold. While the existing manual pushing method has the basic function of pushing the core material, it generally requires multiple operators to work together, resulting in low efficiency, uneven force application, difficulty in controlling precision, and inability to effectively ensure a continuous and stable fit between the core material and the mold seam. This can easily lead to quality defects such as gaps, resin accumulation, and core material steps. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Preferably, the inner surface of the second mounting profile is threaded with a locking pin, and the other end of the locking pin passes through the second mounting profile and the third mounting profile in sequence, extends to the outside of the second mounting profile, and is threaded with the inner surface of the third mounting profile.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the other end of the L-shaped plate, a rectangular block is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixing frame, a pressure rod is movably sleeved on the inner surface of the left side of the fixing frame, and the other end of the pressure rod passes through the fixing frame and the rectangular block in sequence and extends into the inner cavity of the fixing frame and is fixedly connected to a movable rod.

[0008] Preferably, the top and bottom of the movable rod are both hinged with diagonal rods, and the other end of the diagonal rod is hinged with a pin block.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the pin block is movably connected to the inner surface of the fixing frame, and the outer surface of the pressure plate is movably connected to the outer surface of the fixing frame.

[0010] Preferably, a stainless steel spring is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the pressure rod, with the left end of the stainless steel spring fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod and the right end of the stainless steel spring fixedly connected to the left side of the rectangular block.

[0011] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outer surface of the first mounting profile, and the outer surface of the reinforcing ribs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second mounting profile.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the second mounting profile, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block, a rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved at the other end of the motor output shaft, and a winding roller is fixedly sleeved at the other end of the rotating shaft through the fixing block and extending into the interior of the fixing block.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the winding roller is wound with a pull rope, the other end of the pull rope passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the outer surface of the connecting plate is movably connected to the inner surface of the second mounting profile, and the top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third mounting profile.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, by setting up fine-threaded rods, C-shaped frames, L-shaped plates, gears, and internal gear rings, drives the fine-threaded rods to start rotating when the handle is rotated. This, in turn, drives the other gears to start rotating synchronously through the internal gear ring. At this time, the four fine-threaded rods will start rotating synchronously, causing the L-shaped plate to slide horizontally under the limiting action of the C-shaped frame. This ensures the synchronous movement of the four pressure plates, greatly improving the continuous and stable fit between the core material and the mold seam, and effectively reducing the risk of quality defects such as gaps, resin excess, and core material steps.

[0015] 2. This invention, by setting up a pressure rod, a movable rod, a diagonal rod, a pin block, and a pressure plate, causes the movable rod to slide horizontally to the left under the limiting action of the rectangular block when the pressure rod is pressed. This causes the diagonal rod to move around the hinge point, which in turn causes the pin block to move towards the rectangular block. Once the pin block is completely detached from the inner surface of the pressure plate, the fixing effect on the pressure plate is released, realizing the function of quickly disassembling and replacing the pressure plate. This significantly reduces production line downtime and allows for rapid adaptation to different production needs and wear replacement.

[0016] 3. This invention, by setting up a motor, rotating shaft, winding roller, pull rope, and connecting plate, starts the motor, drives the rotating shaft to rotate the winding roller, and the rotation of the winding roller causes the pull rope to begin winding. At this time, the connecting plate will drive the No. 3 mounting profile to move vertically upward under the limiting action of the No. 2 mounting profile. Then, the No. 3 mounting profile drives the dust cover to move upward synchronously, achieving the purpose of synchronously adjusting the pressing height of the four pressure plates. The mechanical forcing means ensures the uniformity and consistency of the applied force, which directly solves the problems of uneven force, local deformation of core material, or poor adhesion that are difficult to avoid with manual adjustment. This significantly improves the injection quality of the blade trailing edge, structural reliability, and reduces the rework rate. At the same time, it simplifies the complex multi-person collaborative operation into a single-person controllable process, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a PET fixing fixture for raising the trailing edge of a wind turbine blade, including a first mounting profile 1, a second mounting profile 2 fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting profile 1, a third mounting profile 3 movably sleeved on the inner surface of the second mounting profile 2, a dust cover 4 fixedly connected to the front of the third mounting profile 3, a handle 5 movably sleeved on the inner surface of the front of the dust cover 4, the other end of the handle 5 penetrating through the dust cover 4 and extending into the inner cavity of the dust cover 4 and fixedly connected to a fine thread rod 6, the outer surface of the fine thread rod 6 movably sleeved with the inner surface of the third mounting profile 3, the other end of the fine thread rod 6 penetrating through the third mounting profile 3 and extending to the outside of a gear 9 and threadedly sleeved with an L-shaped plate 8, a C-shaped frame 7 fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the third mounting profile 3, the outer surface of the fine thread rod 6 movably sleeved with the inner surface of the C-shaped frame 7, a gear 9 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fine thread rod 6, and an internal gear ring 10 meshing with the outer surface of the gear 9.

[0021] When the handle 5 is rotated, the fine thread rod 6 will start to rotate, which in turn drives the other gears 9 to start rotating synchronously through the internal gear ring 10. At this time, the four fine thread rods 6 will start to rotate synchronously, so that the L-shaped plate 8 will slide horizontally under the limiting action of the C-shaped frame 7.

[0022] Among them, the inner surface of the second mounting profile 2 is threaded with a locking pin 11, and the other end of the locking pin 11 passes through the second mounting profile 2 and the third mounting profile 3 in sequence and extends to the outside of the second mounting profile 2 and is threaded with the inner surface of the third mounting profile 3.

[0023] Rotating the locking pin 11 will release the fixing of the mounting profile 3 after the locking pin 11 is disengaged from the inner surface of the mounting profile 3.

[0024] The other end of the L-shaped plate 8 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 12. The inner cavity of the fixing frame 12 is fixedly connected to a rectangular block 14. The inner surface of the left side of the fixing frame 12 is movably sleeved with a pressure rod 13. The other end of the pressure rod 13 passes through the fixing frame 12 and the rectangular block 14 in sequence and extends into the inner cavity of the fixing frame 12 and is fixedly connected to a movable rod 15.

[0025] Pressing the lever 13 will cause the movable lever 15 to slide synchronously under the limiting action of the rectangular block 14.

[0026] The top and bottom of the movable rod 15 are both hinged with diagonal rods 16, and the other end of the diagonal rod 16 is hinged with a pin block 17.

[0027] When the movable rod 15 begins to slide to the left, it will cause the diagonal rod 16 to move around the hinge point.

[0028] The outer surface of the pin block 17 is movably connected to the inner surface of the fixing frame 12, and the outer surface of the pressure plate 18 is movably connected to the outer surface of the fixing frame 12.

[0029] When the pin block 17 disengages from the inner surface of the pressure plate 18, the fixing effect on the pressure plate 18 will be released.

[0030] Among them, a stainless steel spring 19 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the pressure rod 13. The left end of the stainless steel spring 19 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod 15, and the right end of the stainless steel spring 19 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rectangular block 14.

[0031] Due to the elastic force of the stainless steel spring 19, the movable rod 15 has a good reset function.

[0032] Among them, the left and right sides of the outer surface of the No. 1 mounting profile 1 are fixedly connected with reinforcing ribs 20, and the outer surface of the reinforcing ribs 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the No. 2 mounting profile 2.

[0033] The design of the reinforcing rib 20 enhances the connection strength and stability between mounting profile 1 and mounting profile 2.

[0034] Among them, the top of the second mounting profile 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 21, the top of the mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 22, the outer surface of the fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the motor 23, the other end of the output shaft of the motor 23 is fixedly sleeved with the rotating shaft 24, the other end of the rotating shaft 24 passes through the fixing block 22 and extends into the interior of the fixing block 22 and is fixedly sleeved with the winding roller 25.

[0035] When the motor 23 starts running, it will drive the shaft 24 to rotate the winding roller 25.

[0036] The outer surface of the winding roller 25 is wound with a pull rope 26. The other end of the pull rope 26 passes through the mounting frame 21 and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 27. The outer surface of the connecting plate 27 is movably connected to the inner surface of the second mounting profile 2, and the top of the connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third mounting profile 3.

[0037] When the winding roller 25 rotates, it will wind up the pull rope 26, causing the pull rope 26 to drive the connecting plate 27 and the No. 3 mounting profile 3 to begin to rise under the limiting action of the No. 2 mounting profile 2.

[0038] Working principle and usage process of this invention: First, after positioning and installing the device, the rear edge of the raised core material PET is positioned between the blade and the pressure plate 18. Rotate the handle 5 to drive the fine thread rod 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the remaining gears 9 to rotate synchronously through the internal gear ring 10. This causes the four fine thread rods 6 to operate synchronously, pushing the L-shaped plate 8 to slide horizontally under the limit of the C-shaped frame 7, ensuring that the four pressure plates 18 move synchronously. This significantly improves the bonding stability between the core material and the mold seam, effectively reducing quality risks such as gaps, resin content, and core material steps.

[0039] When the pressure plate 18 is worn or deformed, affecting the pressing effect, pressing the pressure rod 13 will cause the movable rod 15 to slide horizontally to the left under the limit of the rectangular block 14, driving the inclined rod 16 to rotate around the hinge point, causing the pin block 17 to retract towards the rectangular block 14 until it is completely separated from the inner surface of the pressure plate 18, thereby releasing the fixation of the pressure plate 18, realizing quick disassembly and replacement, greatly reducing downtime and adapting to different production and maintenance needs.

[0040] When the height of the pressure plate 18 needs to be adjusted, the motor 23 is started to drive the rotating shaft 24 and the winding roller 25 to rotate. The connecting plate 27 is pulled by the winding rope 26, which drives the No. 3 mounting profile 3 to rise vertically along the limit of the No. 2 mounting profile 2, thereby raising the dust cover 4 synchronously. This achieves synchronous adjustment of the pressing height of the four pressure plates 18, improves the injection quality and structural reliability of the blade trailing edge, and simplifies the complex multi-person operation into a single-person process, thus improving production efficiency.
