Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wind turbine blade technology, and in particular relates to a positioning fixture for the L-connecting plate of a wind turbine blade. 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. The L-shaped connecting plate is a crucial component of the wind turbine generator, playing an indispensable role. Its main function is to connect the wind turbine blades to the turbine's main body. Named for its L-shaped shape, this connecting plate transmits the rotational torque generated by the blades to the main shaft under wind power, serving as a vital connection between the blades and the hub.

[0003] Currently, when installing L-connector plates, they are typically hoisted and then assembled directly by workers. Because positioning fixtures are not used to position the L-connector plates during installation, the installation efficiency is relatively low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning fixture for the L-connecting plate of wind turbine blades, so as to solve the problem that the installation efficiency is relatively low because the positioning fixture is not used to position the L-connecting plate during the current installation process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a positioning fixture for an L-shaped connecting plate of a wind turbine blade, comprising a main frame and a positioning plate; the main frame includes a U-shaped frame and a telescopic frame, the three ends of the U-shaped frame being connected to the blade flange respectively; the telescopic frame is fixed on the U-shaped frame, and the positioning plate is fixed on the side of the telescopic frame away from the U-shaped frame; the positioning plate is provided with positioning holes that match the outer contour of the L-shaped connecting plate, and the positioning holes are directly opposite the L-shaped connecting plate of the blade manhole plate; the telescopic connecting rod can drive the positioning plate to move toward the blade manhole plate and fit against the blade manhole plate.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the three ends of the ⊥-shaped frame is provided with two sets of positioning components. The positioning components of the two ends on the horizontal sides are located on the upper and lower sides of the blade mold seam, respectively, and the two sets of positioning components of the end on the vertical side are located on the two sides of the vertical side where the blade flange passes through the center.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the positioning components includes a positioning post, the positioning post being sized to match the connection hole of the blade flange, and the positioning post being inserted into the connection hole for positioning.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning post is made of nylon.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic frame includes four sets of telescopic connecting rods, which are located at the four corners of the positioning plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the ⊥-shaped frame is welded from aluminum alloy rectangular tubing.

[0011] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: During the installation of the L-connecting plate, the six sets of positioning pins are first inserted into the connecting holes of the blade flange. The telescopic connecting rod is moved to make the positioning plate at the front end of the tooling press against the manhole plate of the blade. After the installation hole is opened on the manhole plate with a tool, the L-connecting plate is installed to achieve the assembly requirements of quickly positioning and installing the L-connecting plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows:

[0013] ①This tooling can improve assembly efficiency and reduce labor costs, thereby accelerating the assembly efficiency of blades.

[0014] ②Using nylon columns as positioning columns can prevent the main body of the tooling from making hard contact with the end face of the steel flange during operation, thus avoiding damage to the galvanized layer of the steel flange end face.

[0015] ③ There are two sets of positioning pins on the upper and lower sides of the blade mold seam, which fit into the connecting holes of the blade flange. There are also positioning pins on both sides of the vertical side of the blade flange passing through the center, so that this tooling can be accurately positioned. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown: A positioning fixture for the L-shaped connecting plate of a wind turbine blade includes a main frame and a positioning plate 4. The main frame includes a U-shaped frame 1 and a telescopic frame 2. The U-shaped frame 1 is welded from aluminum alloy rectangular tubing. The three ends of the U-shaped frame 1 are respectively connected and positioned to the blade flange 3. The telescopic frame 2 is fixed to one side of the U-shaped frame 1, and the positioning plate 4 is fixed to the side of the telescopic frame 2 away from the U-shaped frame 1. The positioning plate 4 is provided with positioning holes 6 that match the outer contour of the L-shaped connecting plate, and the positioning holes 6 are directly opposite the L-shaped connecting plate of the blade manhole plate. The telescopic connecting rod 7 can drive the positioning plate 4 to move towards the blade manhole plate and fit against the blade manhole plate.

[0022] The ⊥-shaped frame 1 has two sets of positioning components at each of its three ends. The positioning components at the two ends on the horizontal sides are located on the upper and lower sides of the blade mold seam 8, respectively. The two sets of positioning components at the two ends on the vertical sides are located on the vertical side of the blade flange 3 passing through the center. Each positioning component includes a positioning post 5. The positioning post 5 is sized to match the connection hole of the blade flange 3 and is used to insert into the connection hole for positioning. The positioning post 5 is made of nylon to prevent the fixture body from making hard contact with the steel flange end face during operation, thus avoiding damage to the galvanized layer of the steel flange end face. The positioning post 5 is fixed to the ⊥-shaped frame 1 with bolts.

[0023] The telescopic frame 2 includes four sets of telescopic connecting rods 7, which are located at the four corners of the positioning plate 4. Each telescopic connecting rod 7 consists of an inner rod, an outer rod, bolts, and nuts. The inner rod is slidably connected to the outer rod. The inner rod has a fixing hole, and both sides of the outer rod have slotted holes that align with the fixing holes. The length direction of the slotted holes is consistent with the length direction of the outer rod. After the inner rod is pulled out to the appropriate length from the outer rod, the bolt passes through the slotted hole, the fixing hole, and the slotted hole on one side, and then connects to the nut, thus fixing the outer rod and the inner rod in place with the head of the nut and bolt.

[0024] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0025] During the installation of the L-connecting plate, first insert the six sets of positioning pins 5 into the connecting holes of the blade flange 3, move the telescopic connecting rod 7 to make the positioning plate 4 at the front end of the tooling abut against the blade manhole plate, then use bolts and nuts to fix the telescopic connecting rod 7, and after using tools to make the installation holes in the manhole plate, carry out the installation of the L-connecting plate to achieve the assembly requirements of quick positioning and installation of the L-connecting plate.
