Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wind turbine blade recycling, and more specifically, to a wind turbine blade recycling and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the wind power industry has shown a rapid development trend, with the annual installed capacity continuously increasing. Among them, wind turbine blades are the core components of wind turbines, mainly made of glass fiber, carbon fiber, and thermosetting resin materials, with small amounts of metal, epoxy structural adhesive, and paint. However, due to the large number of wind turbine blades in aging wind farms reaching the end of their service life, and the issue of wind turbine product upgrades, more and more old wind turbine blades need to be recycled and reused in a clean manner.

[0003] Because wind turbine blades are large in size and long in length, they are inconvenient to collect and transport in the field. Therefore, it is necessary to cut the wind turbine blades into small pieces before collection and transportation to facilitate transportation, such as the waste wind turbine blade recycling and processing device disclosed in Chinese application number 202222988478.2. However, this device is large in size and is not convenient to carry when cutting in the field, which affects the recycling efficiency of wind turbine blades. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing devices, this application provides a wind turbine blade recycling and cutting device, which can solve the problem that the above-mentioned cutting device is large in size and inconvenient to carry when cutting in the field, thus affecting the recycling efficiency of wind turbine blades.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is: a wind turbine blade recycling and cutting device, including a cutting component and a support and moving component.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problem that the above-mentioned cutting device is too large and inconvenient to carry when cutting in the field, thus affecting the recovery efficiency of wind turbine blades. The overall idea is as follows:

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A wind turbine blade recycling and cutting device includes a cutting component 10 and a support and moving component 20.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cutting assembly 10 includes a main unit 110, which can be a motor primarily responsible for driving the cutting blade 120 to rotate. The cutting blade 120 is mounted on the drive end of the main unit 110, and a dust cover 130 is installed on the side wall of the drive end of the main unit 110, with the top of the cutting blade 120 located inside the dust cover 130. The cutting blade 120 cuts the fan blades; specifically, starting the main unit 110 enables the cutting blade 120 to cut the fan blades, thereby reducing the size of the fan blades and facilitating their transport.

[0026] A handle 140 is installed on the main unit 110, and a fixing ring 150 is fitted on the outside of the main unit 110. The handle 140 is installed on the outside of the fixing ring 150. When cutting the fan blades, the handle 140 is grasped to support the entire device for easy cutting.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The supporting moving component 20 includes a mounting plate 210 and moving wheels 220. The mounting plate 210 is installed on the side of the main unit 110 away from the cutting blade 120, and the moving wheels 220 are installed on the side of the mounting plate 210 and move on the wind turbine blades. When the cutting blade 120 is cutting the wind turbine blades, the moving wheels 220 are located on the upper surface of the wind turbine blades, thus enabling the cutting blade 120 to move while cutting the wind turbine blades. This application has a simple structure, small size, convenient operation, and is easy to carry. It allows for preliminary cutting of wind turbine blades during field retrieval, reducing the length of the wind turbine blades and facilitating their recovery. The moving wheels 220 allow the cutting blade 120 to move and cut simultaneously, reducing the labor intensity of the cutting personnel; it can be moved with a gentle push.

[0028] The movable wheel 220 is slidably mounted on the side of the mounting plate 210. A height adjustment component 230 is mounted on the mounting plate 210 and connected to the movable wheel 220. A fixed plate 240 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 210, and the height adjustment component 230 is screwed through the fixed plate 240 and connected to the movable wheel 220. The height adjustment component 230 includes a knob 231, a threaded rod 232, and a sliding plate 233. One end of the threaded rod 232 is fixedly connected to the knob 231, and the other end of the threaded rod 232 is screwed through the fixed plate 240 and rotatably connected to the sliding plate 233. The movable wheel 220 is mounted on the lower surface of the sliding plate 233. The sliding plate 233 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 210. A vertical groove 211 that mates with the sliding plate 233 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 210. When cutting wind turbine blades of different thicknesses, it is necessary to adjust the height of the moving wheel 220. Rotating the knob 231 causes the threaded rod 232 to rotate, which in turn causes the sliding plate 233 to slide inside the vertical groove 211, thereby enabling the moving wheel 220 to slide and change its height. This allows for the effective cutting of wind turbine blades of different thicknesses, thus expanding the scope of application of this invention.

[0029] When this application is used:

[0030] When the cutting blade 120 cuts the wind turbine blade, the moving wheel 220 is located on the upper surface of the wind turbine blade, thus enabling the cutting blade 120 to move while cutting the wind turbine blade. This application features a simple structure, compact size, convenient operation, and easy portability, allowing for preliminary cutting of wind turbine blades during field recovery, reducing the blade length and facilitating recovery. The moving wheel 220 enables the cutting blade 120 to move and cut simultaneously, reducing the labor intensity of the cutting personnel; it can be moved with a gentle push.

[0031] In summary, this application features a simple structure, compact size, convenient operation, and easy portability. It allows for preliminary cutting of wind turbine blades during field recovery, reducing their length and facilitating their retrieval. The inclusion of the moving wheels 220 enables the cutting blade 120 to move and cut simultaneously, reducing the workload for operators; it can be moved with a gentle push.

[0032] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the host 110 need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The power supply and its principle of the host 110 are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
