Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vacuum infusion auxiliary materials, and in particular to an ohmic tube with a small diameter. Background Art

[0002] The development of large-scale unit capacity in the wind power industry has become an inevitable trend. The overall solution of large-megawatt, high-reliability and high-economic-efficiency wind power projects is highly recognized in the market. Complete machine manufacturers with large-megawatt product capabilities will be more competitive in the market in the future. The progress of wind power technology is the basis for large-scale unit capacity. Large-scale unit capacity will effectively improve the utilization efficiency of wind energy resources, improve the overall economy of wind power project investment, development and operation, improve land / sea utilization efficiency, reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour, improve investment returns, and facilitate large-scale project development. It puts forward higher requirements for large-scale and lightweight wind turbine blades.

[0003] The main method of producing wind turbine blades is vacuum infusion molding. The vacuum infusion molding process is to lay the fiber-reinforced composite material directly on the mold, lay a peeling layer on the fiber-reinforced composite material, and lay a high-permeability medium on the peeling layer. Then, it is covered and sealed with a vacuum bag film. The vacuum pump is evacuated to a negative pressure state. Due to the large volume of the blade, the viscosity of the main raw material resin of FRP is relatively large. In order to make the resin quickly absorbed by the composite material, an ohm tube can be used to first transport the resin in the longitudinal direction to guide the main direction of the resin. After curing, the demoulding cloth is peeled off to obtain a high-density, low-glue layer structure.

[0004] In the production of wind turbine blades, the ohm tube is a tube arranged in a vacuum system to guide the resin so that it is evenly distributed and diffused. It can arrange the diversion network more quickly, save a lot of labor costs, and make the resin flow in a predetermined direction. The product has good temperature resistance and flexibility, and can be used for vacuum infusion RTM process to infuse resin and vacuumize. With the development of large-scale wind turbine blades, the increase in blade size will cause the original size of the ohm tube to be unable to meet production needs. In order to better meet the needs of vacuum infusion molding, the size of the ohm tube will also be adjusted. This requires re-molding to produce ohm tube products of different sizes, resulting in a high cost of using the existing ohm tube, which in turn affects the production cost of large-scale wind turbine blades, which is not conducive to the control of wind power cost per kilowatt-hour and the development of the wind power industry.

When a fastening screw is needed, the fastening screw is also hidden in the counterbores. After the installation of the fastening bolt 35 is completed, hidden cover plates 36 are snap-fitted to both ends of the disassembly and assembly hole positions 34, and then the assembly of the small-diameter ohmic tube can be completed.
