They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a clamping mechanism for opening holes at the root of wind turbine blades, including a support mechanism and a clamping assembly;

[0022] The support mechanism includes a support positioning plate 1, a bottom plate 2, and a top plate 3. The bottom of the support positioning plate 1 is connected to the bottom plate 2, and the top of the support positioning plate 1 is connected to the top plate 3. The support positioning plate 1 has a through positioning hole 4. A rubber ring 10 is provided at the positioning hole 4 of the support positioning plate 1 to ensure that the blade root does not directly contact the positioning hole 4, and to avoid friction when the blade root enters or leaves the positioning hole 4, which would cause damage to the blade root. Reinforcing plates 9 are provided on both sides of the support positioning plate 1. The top and bottom of the reinforcing plates 9 are connected to the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 2, respectively, to ensure the structural strength and stability of the support mechanism.

[0023] The clamping assembly includes a first cylinder group and a second cylinder group. The first cylinder group consists of several inner cylinders 5, and the second cylinder group consists of several outer cylinders 6. The inner cylinders 5 are located on the inner surface of the support positioning plate 1, and are evenly arranged around the center of the positioning hole 4. The piston rods of the inner cylinders 5 all point to the center of the positioning hole 4. The outer cylinders 6 are located on the outer surface of the support positioning plate 1, and are evenly arranged around the center of the positioning hole 4. The piston rods of the outer cylinders 6 all point to the center of the positioning hole 4. The number of outer cylinders 6 is the same as the number of inner cylinders 5, and they are staggered. Several supports 8 are provided on both sides of the support positioning plate 1. The supports 8 are equipped with guide sleeves. The positions of the inner cylinders 5 and outer cylinders 6 correspond one-to-one with the supports 8. The piston rods of the inner cylinders 5 and outer cylinders 6... Guide sleeves are installed on the corresponding supports 8. By setting supports 8 with guide sleeves, the stability of the piston rods of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 when pushing and pulling is ensured, and each pressure block 7 can be smoothly pressed onto the surface of the root of the wind turbine blade. Pressure blocks 7 are installed on the piston rods of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6. Rubber pads 11 are provided on the outer end of the pressure block 7. The rubber pads 11 increase the friction between the pressure block 7 and the root of the blade to achieve anti-slip and ensure clamping stability. A connecting sleeve 12 is provided on the end of the pressure block 7 away from the rubber pad 11. The pressure block 7 is connected to the piston rods of the corresponding inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 through the connecting sleeve 12 and is fastened with bolts. The connecting sleeve 12 is used to connect the piston rods of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 to the support 8, and at the same time facilitates the replacement of the pressure block 7.

[0024] Installation method and operating principle: First, assemble the support mechanism by welding the support positioning plate 1 to the top plate 3, bottom plate 2, and reinforcing upright plate 9. Then, fit the rubber ring 10 into the positioning hole 4 and fix it with bolts. Next, install the support 8 on the outer and inner sides of the support positioning plate 1, with the axis of the guide sleeve of the support 8 pointing to the center of the positioning hole 4. Then, pass the piston rods of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 through the guide sleeves of the corresponding support 8, and install the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 on the inner and outer surfaces of the support positioning plate 1, respectively. Finally, install the pressure block 7 on the piston rods of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6 to complete the installation. In operation, the wind turbine blades are supported by several trolleys. The blade roots are positioned towards the support positioning plate 1, and the blades are moved to the support positioning plate 1, with their roots passing through the positioning holes 4. Then, the inner cylinder 5 and outer cylinder 6 are activated, causing their piston rods to push outwards, and the corresponding pressure blocks 7 to press against the surface of the blade roots. Figure 4As shown, this design ensures stability during processing at the root of the wind turbine blade. The invention features a rational structure, with several inner cylinders 5 and outer cylinders 6 arranged in a ring on the inner and outer sides of the support and positioning plate 1. When clamping the blade root, the synchronous clamping of the inner cylinders 5 and outer cylinders 6 significantly improves the stability of the wind turbine blade. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the inner cylinders 5 and outer cylinders 6 further enhances clamping stability, thus ensuring the accuracy of the opening at the blade root.
