[0007] A first through hole is provided on the plug block, and a second through hole is provided on the mating sleeve. The second through hole penetrates the blade tip section.
[0008] As an improvement, the plug-in block is fixed inside the leaf root section by a fixing bracket.
[0009] As an improvement, several first insertion posts are provided at the joint of the leaf root segment;
[0010] Several first mating holes adapted to the first insertion post are provided at the joint of the blade tip section.
[0011] As an improvement, the first plug can be inserted into the first mating hole.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A segmented blade that can be joined together includes a root segment 1 and a tip segment 2 that can be inserted and fixed onto the root segment 1.
[0024] A plug-in block 3 is fixed inside the leaf root section 1, and a docking sleeve 4 is provided inside the leaf tip section 2. The plug-in block 3 can be inserted into the docking sleeve 4.
[0025] A first connecting hole 5 is provided on the plug block 3, and a second connecting hole 6 is provided on the connecting sleeve 4. The second connecting hole 6 penetrates the blade tip section 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the blade root segment 1 can be inserted into the mating sleeve 4 inside the blade tip segment 2 via the internal insertion block 3. During insertion, fixing adhesive is sprayed onto the surface of the insertion block 3 to increase the tightness of the connection between the two. After insertion to the bottom, the first mating through hole 5 and the second mating through hole 6 correspond to each other. Fastening bolts are installed in the first mating through hole 5 and the second mating through hole 6 to make the two tightly fixed together. Compared with the segmented blades that are simply fixed by the stud 12, its mating strength is greatly improved.
[0027] The plug block 3 is fixed inside the leaf root section 1 by the fixing bracket 7.
[0028] Several first insertion posts 8 are provided at the joint of the leaf root segment 1; several first mating holes 9 are provided at the joint of the leaf tip segment 2, which are adapted to the first insertion posts 8. The first insertion posts 8 can be inserted into the first mating holes 9.
[0029] In this embodiment, in order to improve the strength and tightness of the mating joint, fixing adhesive is sprayed on the first insertion post 8 during insertion. Then, when the insertion block 3 is inserted into the mating sleeve 4, the first insertion post 8 is inserted and bonded to the first mating hole 9.
[0030] A first fixed flange 10 is provided at the joint of the blade root section 1, and a second fixed flange 11 adapted to the first fixed flange 10 is provided at the joint of the blade tip section 2; the first fixed flange 10 and the second fixed flange 11 can be fixedly connected together by a number of studs 12.
[0031] In this embodiment, to improve the strength and tightness of the joint, after the above-mentioned insertion is completed, the first fixed flange 10 and the second fixed flange 11 are fixed together by studs 12.
[0032] Installation and docking process: First, apply fixing adhesive to the surface of the plug block 3 and the first plug post 8. Then, use external equipment to insert the plug block 3 into the docking sleeve 4. Insert the first plug post 8 into the first docking hole 9. After it is inserted to the bottom, the first docking through hole 5 and the second docking through hole 6 correspond to each other. Install fastening bolts in the first docking through hole 5 and the second docking through hole 6.
[0033] After installation and fixing, the first fixing flange 10 and the second fixing flange 11 are fixedly connected together by several studs 12. Through the above operation, the blade tip section 2 can be fastened to the blade root section 1, and the connection strength is high.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
