[0001] The utility model relates to large -scale wind turbine blade mould field, concretely is a kind of wind turbine blade mould prevents blade from falling when clamping electric control full-automatic clamp. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wind power generation is one of the most promising new energy generation technologies in the world today, and its large-scale research and utilization has become the focus of new energy development in the 21st century in the world. Wind turbine is the mechanical work conversion of wind energy, mechanical work drives the rotor rotation, and ultimately outputs alternating current power equipment. The principle of wind power generation is to use wind power to drive wind power blade rotation, and then to improve the speed of rotation through speed increaser to promote generator to generate electricity.

[0003] Blade is one of the important components of wind power generation equipment, and its demand and production cycle are also strengthened. One of the key steps in the process of making blades is to turn over the upper mold blade and press it on the lower mold blade. This process is called clamping.

[0004] Since the blade is bonded together using structural adhesive, the curing time of the structural adhesive is limited, which limits the control of clamping time. Therefore, the control of clamping time is very important, not only to control the glue time of the lower mold blade edge, but also to ensure the time of turning over and pressing the upper mold blade, and to ensure that the upper mold blade does not fall off the mold shell during the turning over process. Therefore, relying on vacuum extraction on the mold shell cannot guarantee that the upper mold blade will not fall off. At this time, we need to use a large number of clamps to clamp the upper mold blade around the edge of the upper mold shell. At the same time, when turning over in place, all clamps are removed one by one, and finally the upper mold blade is slowly pressed onto the lower mold blade to complete the entire clamping process.

[0041] The utility model is further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] The fully automatic wind turbine blade clamping and anti-detachment fixture of this utility model is composed of electrical control components and mechanical components. The electrical control components are used to control the mechanical components to perform up-down and rotational movements, thereby realizing the clamping and retraction of the upper mold blade by the anti-detachment fixture.

[0043] To complete mold closing more quickly and safely, we must first ensure the stability and firmness of the tooling fixtures, so that the upper mold blade 100 will not fall off during the entire flipping process. Secondly, we must minimize the time spent installing and removing the tooling fixtures to reduce the risk of mold failure due to the structural adhesive layer 300 hardening caused by prolonged mold closing time. Figure 1 As shown, the required number of anti-detachment clamps is calculated based on the weight distribution of the blades, and the clamps are installed and arranged in a reasonable position. Then, the anti-detachment clamps are adjusted and installed according to the distance between the upper mold steel frame 101 and the upper mold housing 102. Figure 2 As shown.

[0044] The specific arrangement of the anti-detachment clamps is determined by the design and manufacturing process of different blades. The weight of a blade varies; the area closer to the blade root is thicker and heavier, while the area closer to the blade tip is thinner and lighter. Of course, modern blades are very heavy; currently, mainstream blades over 80 meters in length can reach around 25 tons, while the largest blades around 110 meters in length have reached nearly 60 tons. After calculating the weight distribution data of the blades, we determine the weight per meter of the upper mold blade area. Subtracting the suction force provided by the vacuum in that area, we obtain the minimum clamping force that the clamps must provide. Then, with a safety factor of 2, we install the corresponding number of anti-detachment clamps to ensure safety during the flipping process.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the fully automatic wind turbine blade mold closing and anti-detachment clamp of this utility model includes: a round nut 1, a pressure plate 2, upper and lower sliding tubes 3, a guide pin 4, a screw nut 5, a main guide sleeve 6, a rotating guide sleeve 7, a ball screw 8, a flat key 9, an oil-free bushing 10, a retaining ring 11, a hollow rotating platform 12, a servo geared motor 13, a clamp fixing sleeve 14, and a ball plunger 15.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, first connect the 7 rotating guide sleeve to the rotating platform in the middle of the 12 hollow rotating platform, and then install the 6 main body guide sleeve on the 12 hollow rotating platform. This way, the rotation of the 7 rotating guide sleeve can be controlled. At the same time, the 3 upper and lower sliding tubes combined with the 4 guide pin are stuck by the limiting groove on the 7 rotating guide sleeve and rotate together. Then, the rotation is transmitted to the 2 pressure plate, so that the 2 pressure plate also rotates together.

[0047] And 13 servo deceleration motor is installed in 12 hollow rotating platform lower end, with 8 ball screw interface, combined with 9 key action, 13 servo deceleration can rotate 8 ball screw, because 8 ball screw is limited by 10 oilless bushing and 11 stop ring up and down movement, so only do rotation, and 5 screw nut will do up and down movement because of 8 ball screw rotation, 5 screw nut is installed in 3 upper and lower slide pipe lower end, so that 3 upper and lower slide pipe and 2 pressure plate do up and down movement, realize 2 pressure plate on the upper die blade clamping and opening.

[0048] After the whole assembly, it is installed to the upper die steel frame 101, according to the blade weight distribution calculation results, reasonable distribution to the edge of the upper die 100, each position of the anti drop clamp is adjusted according to the size of the site steel frame and shell, and then welded, finally connect the power supply data line to complete the whole installation.

[0049] Embodiment

[0050] The whole wind power blade mold closing process is mainly to combine the opened upper die blade 100 and the lower die blade 200 into one. In the mold opening state, the upper die and the lower die blade are first made, then the structure glue layer 300 is coated on the butt joint area of the lower die 200, and the anti drop clamp of the upper die clamps the upper die blade 100, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , clamping the upper die blade 100 can be divided into four steps: folding, lifting, rotating and pressing down.

[0051] First, the anti drop clamp is in the initial folding state, as shown in Figure 7 , its 2 pressure plate is close to the edge of the die flange along the direction of the die, which can effectively reduce the influence on the operator when making the blade.

[0052] Secondly, the computer program controls the servo deceleration motor 13 to rotate, drives the ball screw 8, and slowly lifts the upper and lower slide pipe 3 together with the pressure plate 2 to the highest position, as shown in Figure 8 .

[0053] Then, the computer program controls the hollow rotating platform 13 to rotate, drives the rotating guide sleeve 7, and slowly rotates the upper and lower slide pipe 3 together with the pressure plate 2 by 90°, at this time, the pressure plate 2 of all anti drop clamps on the edge of the upper die is towards the inside of the upper die shell, as shown in Figure 9 .

[0054] Finally, the computer program controls the servo deceleration motor 13 to rotate again, drives the ball screw 8, and slowly moves the upper and lower slide pipe 3 together with the pressure plate 2 down, so as to clamp the upper die blade 100, as shown in Figure 10 .

[0055] After all the processes in the open mold state are completed, the mold is closed, and when the upper mold 100 is turned over 180° and buckled on top of the lower mold 200, it is supported by the jack of the lower mold 200. At this moment, all the blade anti-drop clamps need to be retracted.

[0056] The retraction and clamping steps of the anti-drop clamp are just the opposite, first lifting, then rotating, and finally shrinking. After the anti-drop clamp is retracted, the jack slowly lowers the upper mold, and the upper mold shell and the lower mold shell are immediately tightly combined and extrude the structural adhesive layer 300. Finally, the locking system on both sides of the mold buckles the upper and lower molds together, warms and solidifies the structural adhesive at the joint, completes the combination of the upper and lower blades, and is shown as follows. Figure 11 、 Figure 12

[0057] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, the purpose is to enable the skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and to implement it, and it cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent transformation or modification made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.​
