[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] This utility model embodiment provides a high-strength wind turbine blade structure, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the wind turbine blade housing 1 includes a windward main beam 2 mounted on the windward side of the wind turbine blade housing 1 and a leeward main beam 3 mounted on the leeward side of the wind turbine blade housing 1. A leading edge web 4 and a trailing edge web 5 are provided between the windward main beam 2 and the leeward main beam 3, along the length of the wind turbine blade housing 1. Several leading edge reinforcing frames 6, matching the cross-section of the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1, are provided between the leading edge web 4 and the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1. Several trailing edge reinforcing frames 6, matching the cross-section of the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1, are provided between the trailing edge web 5 and the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1. The matching cross-section trailing edge reinforcement 7 supports the leading edge of the wind turbine blade shell 1 through the leading edge reinforcement 6 and the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade shell 1 through the trailing edge reinforcement 7, thereby reducing the pressure on the leading edge web 4 and the trailing edge web 5. At the same time, the leading edge reinforcement 6 and the trailing edge reinforcement 7 can support the leading edge web 4 and the trailing edge web 5 respectively, preventing the leading edge web 4 and the trailing edge web 5 from bending and deforming. This can prevent the wind turbine blade from breaking during wind farm operation, which could cause serious personal and property safety problems.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the leading edge reinforcement frame 6 includes a first arc-shaped support rod 61 that abuts against the inner wall of the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1, and a first straight support rod 62 that abuts against the side of the leading edge web plate 4 near the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1. The two ends of the first straight support rod 62 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first arc-shaped support rod 61, and the middle parts of the first straight support rod 62 and the middle parts of the first arc-shaped support rod 61 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second straight support rod 63. This kind of leading edge reinforcement frame 6 can support the leading edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1 and the leading edge web plate 4 at the same time, and the structure is stable. The two sides of the leading edge web plate 4 are respectively provided for connecting with the windward main beam 2 and the leeward main beam 3. The front edge web flange 41 is fixed by bonding. The front edge web flange 41 has an arc-shaped structure. The outer sides of both ends of the first arc-shaped support rod 61 are provided with first arc-shaped slots 611. The two front edge web flanges 41 are respectively locked in the two first arc-shaped slots 611. When the front edge reinforcement frame 6 is installed, the two ends of the first arc-shaped support rod 61 are locked between the two front edge web flanges 41. At the same time, the front edge reinforcement frame 6 cannot move in a direction perpendicular to the front edge web 4, but can only move along the length of the front edge web 4. Therefore, the installation position of the front edge reinforcement frame 6 can be adjusted to adjust the two adjacent front edge reinforcement frames 6 to a suitable distance, so the installation is convenient.

[0023] In this embodiment, the trailing edge reinforcement frame 7 includes a second arc-shaped support rod 71 that abuts against the inner wall of the windward side of the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1, a third arc-shaped support rod 72 that abuts against the inner wall of the leeward side of the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1, and a third straight support rod 73 that abuts against the side of the trailing edge web 5 near the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1. The end of the second arc-shaped support rod 71 away from the trailing edge web 5 is connected to the end of the third arc-shaped support rod 72 away from the trailing edge web 5. The ends of the second arc-shaped support rod 71 and the third arc-shaped support rod 72 near the trailing edge web 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the third straight support rod 73. The middle portions of the second arc-shaped support rod 71 and the third arc-shaped support rod 72 are respectively connected to the two ends of a fourth straight support rod 74. The middle portions of the fourth straight support rod 74 and the third straight support rod 73 are respectively connected to the two ends of a fifth straight support rod 75. This type of trailing edge reinforcement frame 7 can support the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade housing 1 simultaneously. The rear edge web 5 is supported, ensuring structural stability. Simultaneously, rear edge web 5 has flange edges 51 on both sides for bonding and fixing to the windward main beam 2 and the leeward main beam 3. The outer side of the second arc-shaped support rod 71 near the rear edge web 5 has a second arc-shaped groove 711, and the outer side of the third arc-shaped support rod 72 near the rear edge web 5 also has a third arc-shaped groove 721. The two rear edge web flange edges 51 are respectively secured in the second arc-shaped grooves 711 and... Inside the third arc-shaped slot 721, when the rear edge reinforcement frame 7 is installed, the ends of the second arc-shaped support rod 71 and the third arc-shaped support rod 72 near the rear edge web plate 5 are locked between the flange edges 51 of the two rear edge web plates. At the same time, the rear edge reinforcement frame 7 cannot move in a direction perpendicular to the rear edge web plate 5, but can only move along the length of the rear edge web plate 5. Therefore, the installation position of the front edge reinforcement frame 7 can be adjusted, and the two adjacent front edge reinforcement frames 7 can be adjusted to a suitable distance, so the installation is convenient.

The connecting rod 81 passes through the first connecting hole 42, the second connecting hole 52, the third connecting hole 621, and the fourth connecting hole 731. One end of the connecting rod 81 is threaded. Two first bolts 82 are connected, the leading edge web plate 4 and the first straight support rod 62 are fixed between the two first bolts 82, the other end of the connecting rod 81 is threaded to two second bolts 83, the trailing edge web plate 5 and the third straight support rod 73 are fixed between the two second bolts 83, the connecting assembly 8 can be fixed between the leading edge web plate 4 and the leading edge reinforcing frame 6, and between the trailing edge web plate 5 and the trailing edge reinforcing frame 7, and can further prevent the leading edge web plate 4 and the trailing edge web plate 5 from bending and deforming, thereby further preventing the wind turbine blade from breaking during wind farm operation, causing serious personal and property safety problems.
