Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wind generator preparation, and in particular relates to a tool for impregnating blades of a wind generator. Background Art

[0002] Wind turbines are very susceptible to atmospheric corrosion due to being in an atmospheric environment such as wind, snow, rain, fog, and salt all year round. Therefore, the anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbines will directly affect the service life and safety of the entire machine. In the entire wind turbine, the blades are the most critical and core part, accounting for 15% to 20% of the cost of the entire wind turbine. Therefore, improving the service life and quality of blades and reducing the production and manufacturing costs of blades are crucial to reducing the price of wind power.

[0003] According to the capacity of wind turbines, my country divides wind turbines into micro wind turbines (0.1kW~1kW), small wind turbines (1kW~10kW), medium wind turbines (10kW~100kW), large wind turbines (100kW~1000kW) and megawatt wind turbines (above 1000kW). Among them, small wind turbines have the characteristics of small size, simple structure, flexible installation and convenient maintenance. They are widely used in outdoor activities such as power supply, navigation, camping, survival in the wild in rural and remote areas, as well as intelligent construction of infrastructure such as buildings, roads and bridges. In the process of preparing small wind turbines, it is necessary to impregnate the blades of the wind turbine for corrosion protection. The current practice is to directly put the blades into the impregnation box for impregnation. However, the structure of some wind turbine blades is open at one end and closed at the other end, and the blades are hollow as a whole.

If the conventional mechanical plugging method is used for impregnation, the cavity structure of the wind turbine blades will be affected after impregnation.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor provides a tool for impregnating blades of a wind turbine. Utility Model Content
