[0026] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an automatic cutting device for retired wind turbine blades includes a transmission mechanism 1, a slide 2, a manipulator 3 and a cutter 4.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the transmission mechanism 1 includes a transverse transmission machine 11 and a pair of longitudinal transmission machines 12, and the pair of longitudinal transmission machines 12 are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the transverse transmission machine 11. A plurality of transmission rollers 13 for supporting fan blades are arranged horizontally and rotated at intervals between the pair of longitudinal transmission machines 12 to increase the stability of the fan blades during transmission.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slide 2 is arranged parallel to the side of the transverse conveyor 11 away from the longitudinal conveyor 12, and the manipulator 3 is slidably arranged on the slide 2. The cutter 4 is arranged on the manipulator 3 and is used to perform transverse cutting on the fan blades at the terminal end position of the longitudinal conveyor 12. The cutter 4 adopts a laser cutting head or a diamond saw blade. When the diamond saw blade is used, a spray pipe is provided at the position of the cutter 4 to achieve cooling of the diamond saw blade.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a protective cover 5 is provided on the slide 2, and the protective cover 5 covers the slide 2 and the transmission mechanism 1. A dust suction pipe 51 is provided on the protective cover 5, and the dust suction pipe 51 is located at the connection position of the horizontal conveyor 11 and the longitudinal conveyor 12.

[0031] When the fan blades need to be cut, the fan blades are placed on a pair of longitudinal conveyors 12 and supported by conveying rollers 13 so that the fan blades can be stably conveyed toward the transverse conveyor 11 .

[0032] When the fan blade is transferred to the terminal end position of the longitudinal conveyor 12, the front end of the fan blade is cut into a strip shape by utilizing the sliding of the manipulator 3 and the cooperation of the cutter 4. Then the longitudinal conveyor 12 drives the fan blade to be transferred, and the cut waste is pushed to the transverse conveyor 11. The transverse conveyor 11 is used to carry out directionally transfer of the waste to complete the cutting process of the fan blade.

[0033] In addition, during the cutting process, the protective cover 5 can ensure safety during work and prevent cutting waste from splashing. At the same time, the dust suction pipe 51 works to generate a negative pressure state in the protective cover 5, and timely absorbs the cutting dust to prevent environmental pollution.

[0034] Therefore, by setting up a highly automated cutting device, the automatic transmission and automatic cutting of retired wind turbines can be achieved, and after cutting, the cut fragments can be directed transmitted without manual disassembly, thereby improving processing efficiency. At the same time, it also reduces the harm of retired wind turbine blades to the ecological environment and improves the resource recycling rate.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a pair of support frames 6 are provided on the outer side of the terminal end position of each longitudinal conveyor 12, and each support frame 6 is horizontally provided with a clamping rod 61 arranged along the length direction of the longitudinal conveyor 12, and the clamping rod 61 is used to clamp the two sides of the fan blade, and the support frame 6 is provided with an electric cylinder 62 for controlling the horizontal sliding of the clamping rod 61.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle position of the clamp rod 61 is rotatably connected to the support frame 6, and the inner side wall of the clamp rod 61 is provided with a pair of arc-shaped first clamping holes 63, and the first clamping hole 63 is embedded with a semicircular first clamping block 64, and the first clamping block 64 is rotatably connected to the first clamping hole 63 and extends forward to the outside of the first clamping hole 63.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a pair of second clamping holes 65 are provided on the first clamping block 64 , and a semicircular second clamping block 66 is embedded in the second clamping hole 65 . The second clamping block 66 is rotatably connected to the second clamping hole 65 and extends forward to the outside of the second clamping hole 65 .

[0038] When cutting the fan blades, the electric cylinder 62 is used to control the horizontal sliding of the clamping rod 61 so that the clamping rod 61 gradually approaches the two sides of the fan blades. At the same time, since the clamping rod 61 itself is rotationally connected and has a first clamping block 64 and a second clamping block 66 that rotate together, when it contacts the fan blades, the three can automatically rotate according to the shapes of the two sides of the fan blades, ensuring that the fan blades can be clamped and fixed at multiple points.

[0039] At the same time, when clamping the fan blades, the two clamping rods 61 close to the transverse conveyor 11 clamp the two sides of the waste position that needs to be cut off, and the other two clamping rods 61 clamp the fan blades on both sides close to the cutting position, so that the fan blades can be stably fixed during cutting, ensuring the stability and safety of the fan blades during cutting.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the terminal end of each longitudinal conveyor 12 is horizontally rotatably connected with a bidirectional screw 67, which passes through a pair of support frames 6 located on the same side and is threadedly connected to the support frames 6, and a hand wheel 68 is provided at the end of the bidirectional screw 67.

[0041] When the cutting width of the fan blade needs to be changed, the hand wheel 68 can be controlled to drive the bidirectional screw 67 to rotate, so as to adjust the distance between a pair of support frames 6. Therefore, the fan blade can be clamped and fixed at different positions, ensuring that no matter how wide the waste is cut, it can be stably clamped and fixed before and after the cutting position, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the fan blade during cutting.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a pair of longitudinal conveyors 12 are cross-arranged with multiple spaced gantry frames 7, and multiple sliding rods 71 ​​are vertically slidably connected to the gantry frames 7. The lower end of the sliding rod 71 is rotatably connected to a roller 72 that abuts against the fan blades, and the sliding rod 71 is sleeved with a spring 73 between the roller 72 and the gantry frame 7.

[0043] Therefore, during the transmission of the fan blades, the sliding rod 71 can be freely extended and retracted by utilizing the cooperation of the spring 73, and the roller 72 at the lower end of the sliding rod 71 can always press the fan blades tightly to prevent the fan blades from jumping during the transmission process, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the fan blades.

[0044] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the embodiments without any creative contribution as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
