AI Technical Summary
The existing dynamic balancing testing equipment for wind turbine blades has limited testing accuracy. The sensors lack precision and sensitivity, making it impossible to accurately detect minute strain changes, which leads to errors in the testing results.
High-precision fiber optic sensors are used to replace traditional strain gauge sensors, and combined with an active vibration damping mechanism. The fiber optic sensors are set at equal angles below the wind turbine blade mounting mechanism and connected to the data processing host to enhance detection accuracy. The vibration damper generates reverse vibration based on the external vibration signal to cancel out external interference.
It improves the accuracy and stability of dynamic balance testing of wind turbine blades, enabling more precise sensing of minute strain and displacement changes, providing a more stable testing environment, and reducing testing errors.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine quality inspection equipment, specifically wind turbine blade rotation detection equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbine blade rotation monitoring is a crucial step in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the wind turbine. The monitoring includes checking the rotational status, such as the blade's rotational speed and direction of rotation, and detecting any jamming, wobbling, or abnormal vibrations. Poorly balanced blades will vibrate at high speeds, which not only reduces the fan's lifespan but may also increase noise and interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle's lighting cooling system.
[0003] Existing wind turbine blade dynamic balancing testing equipment still has the following problems when in use: its detection accuracy is limited, and the accuracy and sensitivity of the sensor will affect the accuracy of the dynamic balancing test. For example, when detecting small imbalances, some low-cost strain gauge sensors may not be able to accurately detect small strain changes, resulting in errors in the test results.
