Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine blade detection, in particular to a crack detection mechanism for wind turbine blades. Background Technique

[0002] Blades are an industry with relatively high certainty, large market capacity, and clear profit models in wind power components. With the alleviation of the tight supply and demand situation, the wind turbine blade industry will also shift from a melee among numerous players to a competition among several strong players. China's wind turbine blade industry is undergoing an industry-wide reshuffle and integration. With the expansion of the wind turbine blade market scale, both costs and selling prices will decline, but the cost reduction rate of enterprises with scale, technology, and cost advantages will exceed the selling price reduction rate, and their profits will exceed the average level. The future industry competition pattern requires manufacturers to expand in scale, reduce costs, and maintain certain technological advantages. Due to the huge volume of wind turbine blades, it is very inconvenient for personnel to detect cracks in them. At the same time, the detection methods are relatively single and the detection accuracy is low. Therefore, we propose a crack detection mechanism for wind turbine blades. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a crack detection mechanism for wind turbine blades. The detection probe is made to fit the wind turbine blade by spring extension, so that cracks on the inner and outer sides of the wind turbine blade can be detected. At the same time, with the cooperation of the main industrial camera and the auxiliary industrial camera, the positions with problems in the detection can be photographed and detected. Such double detection makes the detection accuracy high, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technique.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A crack detection mechanism for wind turbine blades, including a chassis and a flaw detector;

[0005] Chassis: Moving wheels are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface. Brackets are fixed on both the left and right sides of the chassis. An electric telescopic rod is fixed inside the bracket. The top end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to one side of the bottom surface of the fixed seat.

[0006] Among them, a controller is further included. The controller is arranged on the left side of the top surface of the chassis. The input end of the flaw detector is electrically connected to the output end of the detection probe. The input end of the flaw detector is electrically connected to the output end of the controller. The input end of the controller is electrically connected to the output end of an external power supply.

[0007] Start the electric telescopic rod to adjust the height of the fixed seat. The provided moving wheels facilitate the movement of the device, thereby increasing the detection efficiency. The flaw detector cooperates with the detection probe to emit ultrasonic waves to detect cracks inside and outside the wind turbine blade.

[0008] Further, the detection unit includes side plates, linear motors, connecting seats, motors, main industrial cameras, main frames, and adjusting rods. At the bottom end of the inner side of the side plates, adjusting rods are fixed. The adjusting rods are slidably connected to the inside of the fixed seats.

The top ends of the springs are connected to one side of the bottom surface of the placement rack. The limiting rack is fixed to the middle of the top surface of the fixed seat. The limiting rack is slidably connected to the outside of the placement rack. The inside of the placement rack is snap-connected to the detection probe. When the springs stretch, the detection probe automatically fits the surface of the wind turbine blade. The flaw detector cooperates with the detection probe to emit ultrasonic waves, and then the cracks inside and outside the wind turbine blade can be detected.

[0011] Further, it further includes a first lighting lamp and a second lighting lamp. There are two first lighting lamps, which are respectively fixed to both sides of the top surface of the fixed seat. There are two second lighting lamps, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of the top plates.
