DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 shown, a device specifically for repairing and grinding fan blades, which has a perfect structure and clear functions, mainly includes the following core components, namely: body 1, machine head 2, protective cover 3, connecting shaft (divided into an outer shaft and an inner shaft), and grinding disc 6. Among them, the machine head 2 is firmly arranged at the front end of the body 1 and serves as the operation core of the entire device. The ingenious design of the connecting shaft 5 enables its outer shaft to be firmly fixed on the machine head 2, while the inner shaft serves as a rotating shaft and is tightly connected to the grinding disc 6, thus ensuring that the grinding disc 6 can rotate smoothly.

[0027] The protective cover 3 is tightly connected to the outer shaft of the connecting shaft 5, forming a safety barrier. Inside the machine body 1, a powerful servo motor drives the grinding disc 6 to rotate at high speed, thus achieving fine grinding of the fan blades. It is worth noting that there is a cavity 4 inside the protective cover 3, and there is a certain gap between this cavity 4 and the grinding disc 6. This design not only ensures the smooth progress of the grinding operation but also avoids unnecessary friction and wear.

[0028] Installation hole positions 7 are cleverly opened at the end face edge of the grinding disc 6. These hole positions are used to install the replaceable grinding connection clip 8. The replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is also provided with docking hole positions 9 that perfectly match the installation hole positions 7. Through the insertion and tightening of bolts, the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is firmly fixed on the grinding disc 6. Particularly worth mentioning is that the grinding coefficient of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is precisely controlled between 0.1μm and 0.03μm, ensuring extremely high precision of the grinding operation.

[0029] To further improve the grinding effect, a polishing block 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8. The inner wall of the polishing block 10 is specially designed with a docking bin 11 that is adapted to the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 and the semi-solid polishing agent 12, making the entire polishing process smoother and more efficient. In addition, the cross-section of the polishing block 10 adopts a unique "C" - shaped design. This design is not only beautiful and generous but also perfectly fits the arc of the grinding disc 6, further improving the precision and effect of grinding.

[0030] At the outer end of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8, there is also a semi-solid polishing agent 12. This polishing agent can be either stainless steel cleaning paste or stainless steel cleaning wax. Its cross-section also has a "C" - shaped design and is tightly pressed against the outer edge of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8. When the polishing block 10 is adhesively connected to the replaceable grinding connection clip, the semi-solid polishing agent 12 can play its maximum role during the grinding process, bringing a smoother and brighter surface to the fan blades.

[0031] In addition, the device also pays attention to the design of details. The hole walls of the installation hole positions 7 and the docking hole positions 9 are both designed to be smooth, and the hole openings are in an arc shape. These designs are all aimed at reducing friction and resistance and improving the smoothness of operation. At the same time, sealing elements such as rubber strips are provided between the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 and the grinding disc 6 to prevent the intrusion of dust and impurities. The outer surface of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is designed as a grinding surface to fully contact and play a role with the blade surface during the grinding process.

[0032] This fan blade repair and grinding device is not only compact in structure and perfect in function but also pays attention to detail design and material selection. It can provide an efficient and precise solution for the repair and grinding of fan blades and is one of the indispensable important devices in the wind power industry.

[0033] Working process: According to the repair requirements of the fan blade, select a suitable semi-solid polishing agent 12, such as stainless steel cleaning paste or stainless steel cleaning wax, and ensure that its cross-section is designed in a "C" shape so as to tightly press against the outer edge of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8. Align the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 with the mounting hole position 7 on the grinding disc 6 through the docking hole position 9 thereon, and fasten it with bolts to ensure that the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is firmly fixed on the grinding disc 6. The grinding coefficient of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 is precisely controlled between 0.1 μm and 0.03 μm to ensure the grinding accuracy.

[0034] Sheathe a polishing block 10 on the outer wall of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8, and ensure that the docking bin 11 of the polishing block 10 is adapted to the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 and the semi-solid polishing agent 12. The "C"-shaped cross-section design of the polishing block 10 perfectly fits the curvature of the grinding disc 6, preparing for efficient grinding. Connect the power supply, and the servo motor inside the machine body 1 starts to work, driving the inner shaft of the connecting shaft 5 to rotate, and then driving the grinding disc 6 and the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 and the polishing block 10 thereon to rotate at high speed.

[0035] The operator covers the area of the fan blade that needs to be repaired with the protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 is tightly connected to the outer shaft of the connecting shaft 5 to form a safety barrier. As the grinding disc 6 rotates, the outer surface of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 serves as the grinding surface and comes into full contact with the blade surface. At the same time, the semi-solid polishing agent 12 is gradually released under the action of the polishing block 10 to finely grind and polish the blade surface. During the grinding process, the operator can adjust the rotation speed and angle of the grinding disc 6 as needed to obtain the best grinding effect. At the same time, due to the precise control of the grinding coefficient of the replaceable grinding connection clip 8 and the synergistic effect of the polishing block 10 and the semi-solid polishing agent 12, the extremely high precision and efficiency of the grinding operation can be ensured.

[0036] When the surface of the fan blade reaches the required repair and grinding effect, turn off the power supply and stop the device from working. The operator can check the grinding effect and carry out necessary subsequent processing or cleaning work. This fan blade repair and grinding device can efficiently and accurately complete the repair and grinding tasks of fan blades, providing strong support for the maintenance work in the wind power industry.
