Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine blades, in particular to a static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades. Background Art
[0002] Wind turbine blades are key components in wind turbines for effectively capturing wind energy. Blade length continues to increase with the capacity of individual wind turbines. According to relevant regulations, wind turbine blades must undergo fatigue testing before entering mass production. Before fatigue testing, a static calibration device verifies the blades' load-bearing capacity under static loads, ensuring stable operation under normal operating conditions. The device also measures the blades' hardness and stress distribution, helping to assess their structural characteristics and material properties, ensuring their safety and reliability under design loads and providing important reference data for subsequent fatigue testing.
[0003] At present, the device used for static calibration of wind turbine blade fatigue test usually needs to be used in combination with multiple test equipment. This combination method not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also increases the operating cost. In addition, it is inconvenient to debug, install and use, lacks convenience, and is not convenient to flexibly adjust according to different static calibration requirements of wind turbine blades. It is not convenient to adjust the loading height and loading force according to different static calibration requirements of wind turbine blades. Therefore, it is necessary to design a static calibration device for wind turbine blade fatigue test that is convenient and adaptable to different static calibration requirements of wind turbine blades. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology in that the static calibration device for wind turbine blade fatigue test is not convenient for flexible adjustment according to different static calibration requirements of wind turbine blades, and is not convenient for adjusting the loading height and loading force according to different static calibration requirements of wind turbine blades, one of the purposes of the present utility model is to provide a static calibration device for wind turbine blade fatigue test.
[0005] One of the purposes of the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solution: a static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, comprising a loading bracket mechanism, a static calibration device for fatigue testing, a blade clamp and a wind turbine blade body: the static calibration device for fatigue testing is mounted on one side of the loading bracket mechanism, the blade clamp is movably connected to one side of the loading bracket mechanism, the wind turbine blade body is mounted on the inner wall of the blade clamp, the loading bracket mechanism comprises a base, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and threaded mounting holes are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the fixing frame at equal distances. One side of the fixing frame is mounted with a triangular support frame through a threaded mounting hole. The fatigue test static calibration device includes a pulley assembly, a support bracket is symmetrically mounted on the lower side of the fixing frame, a universal lifting lug is mounted on one side of the support bracket, an electric hoist is provided above the universal lifting lug, a steel wire rope is mounted below the electric hoist, the other end of the steel wire rope is mounted on the universal lifting lug, a flat sling is mounted above the electric hoist, the flat sling is movably connected to the outer surface of the pulley assembly, and one end of the flat sling is connected to the blade clamp. This facilitates adjusting the installation height of the pulley assembly on the loading bracket mechanism and selecting a flat sling of appropriate length according to the loading height requirements and blade deformation requirements of different wind turbine blade bodies, thereby meeting the requirements of static calibration of fatigue tests on different wind turbine blade bodies and improving the applicability of the device.
[0006] According to the static calibration device for wind turbine blade fatigue testing, the size of the wind turbine blade body is adapted to the size of the inner wall of the blade fixture, making it easy to position the wind turbine blade body on the inner wall of the blade fixture, thereby facilitating support and testing of the wind turbine blade body.
[0007] According to the static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, the width of the flat sling is smaller than the width of the inner wall of the fixing frame. The flat sling can pass through the fixing frame to transmit the loading force to the blade clamp.
[0008] According to the static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, the pulley assembly comprises a mounting bracket, a fixing bracket, a long pin, and a circular guard plate. The mounting bracket is mounted on one side of the fixing bracket via the threaded mounting hole, the fixing bracket is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting bracket, the long pin is mounted on the inner wall of the fixing bracket, and there are two circular guard plates, which are symmetrically fixed to the outer surface of the long pin. This facilitates supporting the flat sling and adjusting the height of the pulley assembly according to the loading height.
[0009] According to the static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, the mounting bracket has two equally spaced threaded mounting holes formed on its upper surface, through which the fixed bracket is mounted. The fixed bracket is mounted to the mounting bracket by screws threaded into the inner walls of the second threaded mounting holes. The split design facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0010] According to the static calibration device for fatigue testing of wind turbine blades, the side walls of the triangular support frame are fixedly connected with reinforcing rods, and the reinforcing rods are welded to the triangular support frame, so as to improve the overall stability of the device.
[0011] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. By setting up the loading bracket mechanism and the fatigue test static calibration device, adjusting the height of the pulley assembly on the fixed frame and selecting a flat sling with a matching length, and cooperating with an electric hoist for loading or unloading operations, the loading height requirements and blade deformation requirements of the static calibration of fatigue tests of different wind turbine blade bodies can be met. Compared with the existing technology, this device is more convenient to use and has a low production cost.
[0013] 2. Through the setting of the long pin shaft and the circular guard plate, the whole device adopts a split structure, which makes it easy to replace worn parts. The long pin shaft and the two circular guard plates can support the flat sling, so that the flat sling can still reliably transmit the loading force when the spatial angle changes, and prevent the flat sling from being cut, thereby effectively extending the service life of the flat sling.
