Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection equipment, in particular to a wind turbine blade test counterweight adjustment pendulum structure. Background Art

[0002] Blades are one of the core components of wind turbines, accounting for 15%-20% of the total cost. Taking into account the wind energy conversion rate of blades, the core direction of blade development is to make them larger, longer, lighter, and more flexible. Wind turbine blades have complex shapes and operate in harsh environments. During operation, blades are subjected to a variety of complex loads, including centrifugal loads caused by high-speed rotation and complex airflow disturbances. To ensure the normal operation of wind turbines, wind turbine blades, as key components, require full-scale structural testing. Fatigue testing is particularly important in verifying blade fatigue strength and guiding blade structural design.

[0003] GB / T 25384, Section 9.4, states that during fatigue testing, the damage caused by the test load in the test area should be equal to the damage caused by the target load. The fatigue test load is determined based on the principle of equal damage to shorten test time. Therefore, the bending moment distribution generated by the test load on the blade must match or exceed the bending moment generated by the target load in the test area, while keeping the excess as small as possible to avoid unrealistic failure. Overloading a portion of the blade may cause damage before the fatigue test is completed. To ensure safe testing, the damaged area must be repaired, which increases the test time. Existing solutions use calculations to determine the optimal blade mass distribution, exciter position, and excitation frequency to ensure smooth blade fatigue testing. To meet testing requirements, a larger added mass is typically required to achieve a more accurate test bending moment distribution. With the recent increase in wind turbine blade length and mass, the added mass required for test bending moments has become increasingly larger. This situation can generate very large flapping-direction bending moments on the blade, overloading portions of the blade and causing fatigue damage. Utility Model Content
