Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application provides an anti-icing heating system, its manufacturing method, and a wind turbine blade, belonging to the field of wind turbine blade anti-icing and de-icing technology. Background Technology
[0002] In humid and cold climates, ice formation on the surface of wind turbine blades reduces power generation efficiency, increases load, exacerbates blade and hub damage, and threatens personnel safety. The heating layer requires separate layering, a cumbersome process that can lead to wrinkles, misalignment, and breakage. Single-layer heating materials have high resistance, low heating power density, and poor de-icing performance. When multiple heating materials are connected in parallel, delamination can cause partial discharge, leading to overheating or even burnout. When the heating layer is integrally cast with the wind turbine blade material or made into a prepreg, the presence of adhesive materials and numerous layers can result in incomplete resin impregnation, leading to delamination. During the heating process, damage to the temperature sensor may prevent real-time temperature monitoring and automatic temperature control, causing overheating, damage, or even ignition.

A heating layer 3 is provided between the first protective layer 11 and the second protective layer 12. Two self-limiting temperature electrodes (as shown in the figure) are provided between the heating layer 3 and the first protective layer 11 or the second protective layer 12. Figure 4 a and Figure 4 As shown in Figure b), these two self-regulating electrodes are respectively disposed at both ends of the heating layer 3 along its length. Each self-regulating electrode extends along the width of the heating layer 3. Each self-regulating electrode includes a conductive layer 41 and a self-regulating layer 42. The self-regulating layer 42 is disposed between the conductive layer 41 and the heating layer 3, and they are electrically connected in series in the order of conductive layer-self-regulating layer-heating layer. In the self-regulating electrode, the conductive layer 41 extends beyond the heating layer 3.

Each self-regulating electrode includes a conductive layer 41 and a self-regulating layer 42. The conductive layers 41 are disposed at intervals on the outer side of the ends of the heating layers 3, and the self-regulating layers 42 cover the intervals between the conductive layers 41 and the heating layers 3, forming an electrical series connection in the order of conductive layer-self-regulating layer-heating layer. In the self-regulating electrode, the conductive layer extends beyond the heating layer.

A first heating layer is laid between the first protective layer and the second protective layer. Before laying the heating layer, a layer of adhesive material and resin powder is sprinkled on each side. A self-limiting temperature electrode is set at each end of the heating layer along its length. Then, another layer of adhesive material and resin powder is sprinkled on the surface of the heating layer, and then the second heating layer is laid. S3. Compact the layers to form a layered structure with a certain degree of adhesion. Place the layered structure on a sewing machine and sew it according to the predetermined position and the requirements of the reinforcing layer to achieve the overall sewing of the heating layer.

[0061] The structure of the anti-icing heating system is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the system includes a first protective layer 11 and a second protective layer 12. Three heating layers 3 are disposed between the first and second protective layers 11 and 12. A set of self-regulating electrodes is disposed between each pair of adjacent heating layers 3. Each set of self-regulating electrodes contains two self-regulating electrodes. The arrangement of each set of self-regulating electrodes is the same as in Embodiment 2. Each self-regulating electrode includes a conductive layer 41 and a self-regulating layer 42. The conductive layer 41 is disposed at intervals on the outer side of the end of the heating layer 3. The self-regulating layer 42 covers the interval between the conductive layer 41 and the heating layer 3, forming an electrical series connection in the order of conductive layer-self-regulating layer-heating layer. In one set of self-regulating electrodes, the conductive layer extends beyond the heating layer. Resin powder and adhesive material are filled between the first protective layer and the heating layer closest to the first protective layer, between the second protective layer and the heating layer closest to the second protective layer, and between adjacent heating layers.
[0062] In this embodiment, both the first and second protective layers are made of fiberglass cloth; the heating layer is made of carbon fiber surface felt, which has a faster electrothermal response rate and a higher heating temperature; the conductive layer is made of copper wire, and the self-regulating layer is made of a composite material containing carbon powder. The copper wire and the composite material containing carbon powder are made into a flexible laminate structure to form a self-regulating electrode, ensuring that the electrode will not break or open circuit due to deformation during blade operation; the adhesive material is epoxy resin glue.
[0063] The manufacturing method of the anti-icing heating system in this embodiment includes the following steps: S1. Prepare materials for the first protective layer, second protective layer, heating layer, self-limiting electrode, adhesive material and resin powder according to the size of the anti-icing zone of the wind turbine blades; S2.

Set a self-limiting temperature electrode at each end of the length direction of the second heating layer, then sprinkle a layer of adhesive material and resin powder on the surface of the second heating layer, and then lay the third heating layer. S3. Compact the layers to form a layered structure with a certain degree of adhesion. Place the layered structure on a sewing machine and sew it according to the predetermined position and the requirements of the reinforcing layer to achieve the overall sewing of the heating layer.
[0064] The working principle of the anti-icing heating system in this application is as follows: like Figure 7As shown, the anti-icing heating system is attached to the leading edge A of the blade and connected to a power source. When ice forms on the leading edge surface, a rated voltage is applied to the anti-icing heating system. According to Joule's law, the heating layer begins to heat up. Depending on the icing conditions, the temperature of the heating layer is controlled between 30℃ and 80℃. When the ice on the leading edge melts, the surface temperature of the heating layer further increases under the rated voltage. When the temperature reaches the first temperature, the resistance of the self-limiting material rises to more than two orders of magnitude above the resistance of the heating layer material, or the contacts open when the temperature reaches the first temperature. The voltage across the heating layer immediately decreases, or the heating layer disconnects its electrical connection, causing the temperature to gradually decrease. When the temperature drops to the second temperature, the resistance of the self-limiting material decreases, or the contacts close, and the heating layer returns to its on state and begins heating again. Under some conditions, the first temperature is 30℃, and the second temperature is 25℃. In automatic on / off mode, the heating layer temperature can be controlled to remain stable within a specific range of 30℃ to 80℃ as needed for anti-icing, with temperature fluctuations not exceeding 5℃.
