Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wind turbine blade technology, and in particular relates to a baffle plate for the drainage hole of a wind turbine blade tip. Background Technology

[0002] Wind turbine blades are the core components of wind turbine generators, converting natural wind energy into electrical energy. They are a primary indicator of a wind turbine's design and technological level. The working principle of wind turbine blades is to utilize wind energy, generating mechanical energy through blade rotation, and ultimately converting that mechanical energy into electrical energy. During the manufacturing process of wind turbine blades, particularly in the mold-fitting and bonding process, the blade tip area often suffers from residual adhesive. This adhesive residue, after the blade is installed and in operation, becomes a key focus of after-sales maintenance as the years pass. This residual adhesive not only generates noise but also damages the entire turbine. Because the blade tip has drainage holes, small amounts of residual adhesive can clog these holes, preventing water from draining from the blade and affecting the center of gravity and torque during operation. Larger amounts of residual adhesive can damage the blade as it rotates, even breaking the blade root cover and causing fatal damage to the entire turbine. Therefore, controlling the amount of residual glue extruded from the mold and avoiding blockage of the blade tip drainage holes are key factors in ensuring the long-term stability and safety of wind turbine blades. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a baffle plate for the drainage hole of a wind turbine blade, so as to solve the problem of damage to the blade stability caused by residual glue falling off and blocking the drainage hole, and puncturing the blade root cover plate during the operation of the blade.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a wind turbine blade tip drainage hole baffle plate, comprising a main structure, a non-porous isolation membrane, a release cloth, and a biaxial cloth. The main structure is a triangular prism structure. The non-porous isolation membrane covers the two bottom surfaces and adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure, and the height side corresponding to the side with the shortest bottom edge of the main structure is not covered. The release cloth covers the outside of the non-porous isolation membrane and covers the adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure. The biaxial cloth is impregnated with epoxy resin and wrapped around the outside of the release cloth, covering the adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure. After curing, the baffle plate is demolded to form a preliminary baffle plate body. The preliminary baffle plate body is cut according to the mold surface to form the finished baffle plate body.

[0005] Furthermore, the finished baffle plate is bonded to the windward side of the blade shell using a two-component structural adhesive.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer side of the finished baffle plate is fixed to the front edge adhesive angle.

[0007] Furthermore, the two sets of the finished baffle plates are respectively disposed on the leading edge and trailing edge of the blade, and the two sets of the finished baffle plates are in contact on one side of the leeward side of the blade and the contact ends are shaped to match.

[0008] Furthermore, one set of the finished baffle plates is provided with lightning arrester mounting holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the main structure is assembled by welding angle iron, and the internal space of the main structure is filled with epoxy structural adhesive and then cured.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the angle iron is 3mm.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: The two sets of adhesive baffles in this technical solution are respectively set on the leading edge and trailing edge of the blade, which can increase the bonding surface. After the mold is closed and the adhesive is applied, the structural adhesive can be fully filled into the bonding surface. After the mold is closed, it can not only effectively avoid quality problems such as insufficient adhesive at the tip of the aluminum blade and misalignment of the lightning arrester mounting hole, but also avoid problems such as residual adhesive falling off and clogging the drainage hole and puncturing the blade root cover plate during the later operation of the blade, which can damage the stability of the blade operation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1-3The image shows a wind turbine blade tip drainage hole baffle, comprising a main structure 1, a non-porous isolation membrane 2, a release cloth 3, and a biaxial cloth 4 (specification H2AX808 [HBX808(+45 / -45)EP]). The main structure 1 is a triangular prism structure, assembled by welding angle iron with a thickness of 3mm. The internal space of the main structure 1 is filled with epoxy structural adhesive and cured. The non-porous isolation membrane 2 covers the two bottom surfaces and adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure 1, with the side with the shortest bottom edge of the main structure 1 not covered. The release cloth 3 covers the non-porous isolation membrane 2 and adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure 1. The biaxial cloth 4 is impregnated with epoxy resin and wrapped around the outside of the release cloth 3, covering adjacent sides in the height direction of the main structure 1. After curing, it is demolded to form a preliminary baffle body. The preliminary baffle body is cut according to the mold surface to form the finished baffle body 6. The pre-assembled baffle plate 6 is bonded to the windward side of the blade shell using a two-component structural adhesive. Two sets of pre-assembled baffle plates 6 are respectively located at the leading and trailing edges of the blade, with the two sets of pre-assembled baffle plates 6 contacting each other on the leeward side of the blade and having matching contact ends. One set of pre-assembled baffle plates 6 has a lightning arrester mounting hole 9, and the outer side of the other set of pre-assembled baffle plates 6 is fixed to the leading edge at an adhesive angle 7.

[0019] In this technical solution, the two sets of adhesive baffles 6 are respectively set on the leading edge and trailing edge of the blade, which can increase the bonding surface 8. After the mold is closed and the adhesive is applied, the structural adhesive can be fully filled into the bonding surface 8. After the mold is closed, it can not only effectively avoid quality problems such as insufficient adhesive at the aluminum blade tip 5 and displacement of the lightning arrester mounting hole 9, but also avoid problems such as residual adhesive falling off and clogging the drainage hole and puncturing the blade root cover plate during the later operation of the blade, which can damage the stability of the blade operation.
