[0028] The first setting mode of the utility model, the fixing hole of the bolt sleeve 3 and / or the wedge strip 4 is a through hole, that is, the fixing hole is arranged through the side surface of the bolt sleeve 3 and / or the wedge strip 4 in the radial direction of the blade.

[0029] In the first setting mode, the fixing hole can be selectively arranged on the bolt sleeve 3 or the wedge strip 4 or on both the bolt sleeve 3 and the wedge strip 4 according to the actual strengthening requirement. Figure 1 And Figure 2 As shown in the first embodiment provided by the utility model, the bolt passes through the bolt sleeve 3 in the radial direction and simultaneously passes through the outer layer glass steel 1 and the inner layer glass steel 2. The fixing hole can be a smooth through hole or a threaded through hole and is screwed with the bolt to enhance the stability of the radial connection.

[0030] The second setting mode of the utility model, the fixing hole of the bolt sleeve 3 and / or the wedge strip 4 is a through hole, that is, the fixing hole is arranged through the side surface of the bolt sleeve 3 and / or the wedge strip 4 in the radial direction of the blade.

[0031] In the second setting mode, the fixing hole can be selectively arranged on the bolt sleeve 3 or the wedge strip 4 or on both the bolt sleeve 3 and the wedge strip 4 according to the actual strengthening requirement. Figure 7 And Figure 8As shown in the provided embodiment three, the first bolt 7 penetrates the wedge-shaped strip 4 radially and is arranged in the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2, which is direct and effective, and can prevent cracks from the area where the wedge-shaped strip 4 is located to cause interface delamination failure. The fixing hole can be a smooth inner wall through hole, or a threaded through hole and is screwed with the first bolt 7 to enhance the stability of the radial connection.

[0032] In the above two setting modes, if the fixing holes are arranged on the bolt sleeves 3, in order to avoid the interference between the bolt sleeves 3 and the flanges during the installation of the wind turbine blade later, the fixing holes are arranged on the side of the end of the bolt sleeves 3 away from the root end face, that is, on the side of the end of the bolt sleeves 3 close to the tip.

[0033] In the third setting mode of the utility model, the fixing holes of the bolt sleeves 3 and / or the wedge-shaped strips 4 are threaded counterbores, that is, the fixing holes are threaded holes but do not penetrate the bolt sleeves 3 or the wedge-shaped strips 4, and the fixing holes on a single bolt sleeve 3 or a single wedge-shaped strip 4 are symmetrically arranged in two. The radial connecting piece is a second bolt 8, the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2 are both arranged with the second bolt 8, and the end of the second bolt 8 is screwed with the corresponding fixing hole, that is, the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2 are connected with the bolt sleeves 3 and / or the wedge-shaped strips 4 through the second bolt 8 at the corresponding positions, so as to radially reinforce and fix the root.

[0035] In the above third setting mode, if the fixing holes are arranged on the bolt sleeves 3, the second bolt 8 can be selected as a conventional structure bolt, that is, as shown in Figure 5 If the fixing holes are arranged on the wedge-shaped strips 4, the second bolt 8 is preferably a stepped bolt, the diameter of the end is smaller, and the required fixing hole diameter is smaller, which can effectively prevent the interface delamination failure of the area where the wedge-shaped strip 4 is located and effectively prevent the failure of the wedge-shaped strip 4 itself.

[0036] A plurality of flat bosses 301 are arranged on the side of the bolt sleeve 3, and a plurality of fixing holes are arranged on the side of the bolt sleeve 3, and the fixing holes are arranged on the flat bosses 301.

The surface of the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2 is fixedly provided with an iron sheet 5, and the fixing mode is that the iron sheet 5 is glued by using structural glue, and each radial connecting piece passes through the outer glass steel 1 and / or the inner glass steel 2 and the iron sheet 5 and is arranged in the corresponding fixing hole. Based on the arrangement, the iron sheet 5 is wrapped on the inner and outer sides of the blade root by using the structural glue in the circumferential direction, so that the surface microcracks of the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2 can be smoothed at the same time, the blade root can be further strengthened, the additional damage to the blade root caused by punching and screwing in the radial connecting piece can be reduced, and the load can be further distributed to the entire surface of the blade root by fixing the iron sheet 5, so that the reliability of the blade root structure is improved.

[0038] In the utility model, if the fixing hole is arranged on the wedge-shaped strip 4, the fixing hole can be arranged when the outer glass steel 1 and the inner glass steel 2 are punched. If the fixing hole is arranged on the bolt sleeve 3, the fixing hole is arranged before pre-burial, and in order to avoid that the resin enters the fixing hole and causes the hole to be closed during pre-burial, a counterbore bolt 10 is arranged in the fixing hole of the bolt sleeve 3 during pre-burial, and when the fixing hole penetrates the bolt sleeve 3 in the radial direction, the counterbore bolt 10 is arranged as shown in Figure 3 When the fixing hole is a threaded counterbore, the counterbore bolt 10 is arranged as shown in Figure 6 In order to avoid that the resin enters the inner hole of the counterbore bolt 10, the inner hole of the counterbore bolt 10 can be plugged with putty.
