Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation, and in particular to a device for repairing the surface of wind turbine blades. Background Technology
[0002] The structure of offshore wind turbines can be referenced in Chinese utility model patent CN205025691U, entitled "An Offshore Wind Turbine." Wind turbine blades are key components for absorbing wind energy and converting it into electrical energy. During operation, they are constantly subjected to air corrosion. As the turbine ages, the degree of surface corrosion on the blades becomes increasingly severe, especially near the blade tip. Currently, the main repair device for blade surface corrosion is a roller brush. Repair personnel travel to the area to be repaired in a basket and use a handheld roller brush to apply a coating to the damaged area. This method has the following drawbacks: When repairing the blade surface, the size of the roller brush limits the repair personnel to small-scale, frequent operations. When repairing the leading or trailing edge of the blade, the roller brush or existing scraper cannot conform to the shape of the edge, requiring adjustments to the operation method based on different operating surfaces. This necessitates multiple back-and-forth repairs on both sides, increasing repair time and safety risks for repair personnel. Furthermore, existing roller brush or scraper repair technologies are limited in function, not suitable for installation on mechanical equipment, and have limited repair effectiveness.
