Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power equipment testing technology, and in particular to a fatigue loading test device for wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] In the wind power industry, the fatigue performance of wind turbine blades is one of the key factors to ensure the safe and reliable operation of wind turbine generator sets. Wind power equipment testing is a complex and comprehensive process aimed at ensuring the performance and safety of wind turbine generator sets and components.

[0003] A search of publication number CN202661260U reveals a fatigue loading test device for wind turbine blades, belonging to the field of blade load simulation testing. This device addresses the problems of complex structure and poor reliability in existing test devices. The test blade is laterally fixed to a loading test support, and a blade clamp is installed on one cross-section of the blade. The device includes: a motor fixed to the bottom of the blade clamp; a reducer fixed to the bottom of the blade clamp and connected to the motor, with a pin at its output shaft end; a connecting rod, one end of which is hinged to the pin on the output shaft; and a mass block fixed to the other end of the connecting rod. This device utilizes the resonance generated by the rotational frequency of the eccentric mass block matching the lateral natural frequency of the blade to load the blade. The motor consumes less power, saving loading energy. Because the mass block connecting rod is hinged to the reducer output shaft, the bending moment on the reducer output shaft caused by the mass block's own weight is avoided, reducing damage to the equipment. The device has a simple structure, which helps improve the reliability of fatigue testing.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned devices are used, the wind turbine blade fatigue loading test device can often only be used for specific types or specifications of blades. Different types and specifications of wind turbine blades have significant differences in shape, size, structure and load-bearing capacity, resulting in a lack of versatility and leading to the duplication of test equipment construction and waste of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wind turbine blade fatigue loading test device to improve the utilization efficiency of test equipment and reduce test costs. Utility Model Content

[0033] The wind turbine blade to be tested is placed between the upper clamping plate 103 and the lower clamping plate 101. The hydraulic device 201 is operated, and the hydraulic rod 202 drives the telescopic rod 204 to extend inside the support rod 203. The bottom plate is pressed against the top of the extension plate 205.

[0040] The working principle is as follows: First, the wind turbine blade to be tested is placed between the upper clamping plate 103 and the lower clamping plate 101. The hydraulic device 201 is activated, and the hydraulic rod 202 drives the telescopic rod 204 to extend inside the support rod 203. The bottom plate presses down on the top of the extension plate 205, and the guide rod 300 moves inside the guide hole 302 at the same time, providing support. The position of the upper clamping plate 103 is adjusted according to the size of the wind turbine blade, so that the upper clamping plate 103 is completely pressed down on the top of the wind turbine blade.
