[0051] The protective layer 33 can cover a portion of the buffer body 31, specifically the area of ​​the buffer body 31 used to support the blades. Of course, in some embodiments, the protective layer 33 can also cover all areas of the buffer body 31.

[0052] One embodiment of the present application provides a transportation system that, by providing a protective layer 33, can protect the airbag from being damaged by external hard components such as blades, thereby improving the service life of the transportation system.

[0053] Optionally, the pressure inside the airbag can be any value between 0.02 MPa and 0.025 MPa, including both 0.02 MPa and 0.025 MPa. This setting helps to ensure a good cushioning effect.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, one embodiment of the present application provides a blade transport system in which the transport device 10 is provided with a slot 11, and the airbag portion extends into the slot 11. By providing the slot 11 and allowing the airbag portion to extend into the slot 11, the slot 11 can be used to position the airbag during installation and to limit its forward and backward movement in the first direction X, thus ensuring the stability of the airbag on the transport device.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the blade transport system provided in one embodiment of this application has two or more buffer components 30, which are spaced apart from each other.

[0056] The number of buffer components 30 can be two, three, or more.

[0057] By setting the number of buffer components 30 to two or more, elastic support can be provided to the blades at multiple points, effectively reducing the probability of collision between the blades and the transport equipment 10 and reducing damage to the blades.

[0061] The pressure detector 40 includes pressure detection structures such as a pressure sensor and a pressure gauge.

[0062] When the cushioning component 30 includes an air bladder, the pressure detector 40 can be used to detect the air pressure inside the air bladder. When the cushioning component 30 includes a rubber body, the pressure detector 40 can be used to detect the pressure exerted on the cushioning component 30 by deformation.

[0063] One embodiment of this application provides a transportation system that, by setting a pressure detector 40, can detect the pressure borne by the buffer component 30 during the transportation of the blade at a preset frequency. This can be used to provide a basis for subsequent road condition analysis and transportation route selection during the blade transportation process.

[0064] Optionally, in order to facilitate the transmission of pressure information collected by pressure detector 40 to memory 70, the transportation system may also include pressure transmitter 100.

[0067] The controller 60 can be in communication with the pressure detector 40 and the pump body. When the pressure detected by the pressure detector 40 is less than the required pressure value of the air bag during the transportation of the blade, the pump body and the connecting pipe can be used to deliver gas into the air bag. When the pressure detected by the pressure detector 40 is greater than the required pressure value of the air bag during the transportation of the blade, part of the gas in the air bag can be extracted through the pump body and the connecting pipe, so that the air bag can be ensured to be within a reliable pressure range, and the transportation safety of the blade can be ensured.

[0070] The memory 70 can be a device such as a hard disk that can store data. The memory 70 can be used to record the pressure information during the transportation of the blade.

[0071] The transportation system of the blade provided by one of the embodiments of the present application can store the pressure information of the buffer component 30 collected during the transportation of the blade by arranging the memory 70, which is convenient for subsequent tracing of the transportation process, and ensures that the operator can safely and efficiently carry out the transportation work of the blade during the transportation process.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the transportation system provided by one of the embodiments of the present application further includes an alarm 80, and the alarm 80 is configured to issue an alarm when the pressure value exceeds the preset range.

[0073] Optionally, the sampling frequency of the pressure detector 40 is adjustable, and is specifically formulated according to the business scene. For example, when the pressure is within the normal range, the data is collected once an hour to save the power of the pressure transmitter 100, the real-time record is made when the pressure triggers the alarm, the pressure information collection frequency is 1 time / minute. And whether to alarm can be decided within 10S, when the pressure continuously triggers, the alarm is continuously issued, when the pressure triggers periodically, the alarm is periodically issued, that is, when the pressure returns to normal, the system no longer issues the alarm.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, the transportation system provided by one of the embodiments of the present application further includes a display 90, and the display 90 is configured to acquire and display the pressure value.

[0075] Optionally, the pressure data receiving, display and alarm can display the over-threshold state warning in real time and record the number of warnings.

[0076] The transport system provided by the embodiment of the application provides a safety protection system for the transport equipment 10 to pass through the obstacles during the transport of the blade, and can effectively protect the safety of the blade in the transport, the field change and the like. The protection system has a monitoring and alarm function, and the pressure monitoring and alarm function is transmitted to the operator to ensure the safety of the blade transport, and the transport parameters can be further optimized based on the monitoring and alarm information, for example, the vibration is minimum when passing through the obstacles at a specific speed, the verified transport conditions are supplemented to the blade transport process technical document to further standardize the blade transport process. The pressure monitor and alarm frequency statistics of the transport process are also designed, so that the blade transport process is optimized and improved through the analysis of the transport process data.

[0077] Optionally, the controller 60, the memory 70, the alarm 80 and the display 90 can be arranged separately or integrally in one device.
