Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blade deicing, in particular to a novel anti-icing wind turbine blade device. Background Art

[0002] Wind power generation refers to converting the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. Wind is a pollution-free energy source. Using wind power for power generation is very environmentally friendly and can generate huge amounts of electricity. Therefore, more and more countries are paying more attention to wind power generation. Although my country has rich wind energy reserves, wind resources are basically distributed in the cold north and the southwest and coastal areas with very high humidity. For fans operating in high-humidity areas, when the ambient temperature drops to around 0"C, water droplets in the humid air will hit the outer surface of the blade, especially the blade tip (the surface temperature of the blade shell is not greater than the ambient temperature), and the latent heat will be released, and ice will occur (i.e. freezing rain ice). In this environment, the blades will freeze, and the ice type is mostly clear ice. When operating in cold areas, ice will accumulate on the blades due to snowfall, and this type of ice is mostly loose ice (frost ice). Once the blade surface is frozen, on the one hand, it will affect the aerodynamic performance of the blade and thus reduce the power generation efficiency of the unit, and even shorten the service life of the blade; on the other hand, during the operation of the blade, when the adhesion of the ice layer decreases, ice cubes are very likely to fall off. Under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, the broken ice will be thrown far away, causing damage to personnel and equipment around the unit.

[0003] The existing blade deicing devices commonly use direct heating and indirect heating. Direct heating uses heat energy to directly heat the blade shell. This heating method requires the installation of a heating element on the blade. When the blade is heated and deformed during use, the heating element will be separated from the blade, affecting the service life of the blade. Indirect heating uses the principle of heat transfer. By setting a blower and a heating element at the root of the blade, the convection heat exchange between the hot air and the surface of the blade inner cavity shell and the heat conduction of the shell can be used to increase the temperature of the outer surface of the blade to achieve the purpose of anti-icing and deicing. The hot air is transported to the leading edge heating area through a conveying pipe using a blower and an air heater. The hot air flows from the root of the blade to the tip of the blade and gradually exchanges heat with the blade shell. The air after heat exchange then flows back to the root of the blade through the cavity between the trailing edge of the blade and the main beam to continue to be heated and used. However, for large-sized blades, the heat is quickly conducted to the tip area, and the deicing effect on the tip area is ignored.

[0004] To this end, we propose a new anti-icing wind turbine blade device. Utility Model Content

[0011] Optionally, one end of the conduit is fixedly mounted to the air outlet of the circulation fan, and the other end of the conduit is fixedly mounted to the air inlet of the heating box.

[0012] Optionally, the cold side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate is located at the connection between the circulation box, the heat dissipation pipe and the return air pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] This new anti-icing wind turbine blade device is equipped with a circulation box and a capillary heat pipe. The circulating fan sends air into the heating box for heating. The high-temperature air is then sent to the heat pipe, metal pipe and heat sink fins through the air supply pipe for heat exchange. The heat is transferred to the blade body and blown into the circulation box. At the same time, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet works to transfer the heat generated by the hot side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet to the tip of the blade pump body through the capillary heat pipe, which quickly increases the temperature of the blade tip and better removes the ice layer at the blade tip.

[0015] This new anti-icing wind turbine blade device is equipped with a return air duct. The heat dissipation pipe conducts hot air to the circulation box. The high-temperature air heats the cold side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate to prevent the cold side temperature of the semiconductor refrigeration plate from being too low. The air after heating the semiconductor refrigeration plate returns to the circulation fan through the return air duct and is heated again by the heating box. The temperature of the circulating air is increased by circulating heating of the air, thereby improving the heating efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

At the same time, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 13 works to transfer the heat generated by the hot side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 13 to the tip of the blade pump body through the capillary heat pipe 14, which quickly increases the temperature of the tip of the blade and better removes the ice layer at the tip of the blade. The heat dissipation pipe 9 conducts the hot air to the circulation box 10. The high-temperature air heats the cold side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 13 to prevent the cold side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 13 from being too low.
