[0001] This utility model relates to a flat mesh fabric, specifically a flat mesh fabric used on wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing of wind turbine blades is inseparable from the mesh fabric. In the past, the mesh fabric was woven, which was produced by weaving two or more layers of yarn according to the weaving process. This woven mesh fabric was then glued to the surface of the core material of the wind turbine blade. Because the mesh fabric is easy to break during the blade manufacturing process, the defect rate of wind turbine blades is high, which affects the production efficiency and quality of the blade manufacturing process. Utility Model Content

This invention utilizes nonwoven flat yarns to produce the mesh fabric, replacing the previous weaving process, resulting in lower costs, better quality mesh fabric, simpler process, and less breakage.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flat mesh cloth for wind turbine blades, comprising a substrate and a second adhesive layer, wherein the second adhesive layer can be hot-melt pressed onto the surface of the core material of the wind turbine blade;

[0007] The yarns of the first outer yarn layer and the second outer yarn layer overlap.

[0025] Example:

[0026] A flat mesh fabric for wind turbine blades includes a substrate and a second adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer being heat-melt bonded to the surface of the wind turbine blade core material.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a side view of a substrate for a flat mesh fabric used on wind turbine blades. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The top view shows that the substrate includes a first outer yarn layer 1, a middle yarn layer 3, and a second outer yarn layer 2 laid flat in sequence; the first outer yarn layer 1 and the second outer yarn layer 2 are parallel to each other, and the middle yarn layer 3 has an angle with the first outer yarn layer 1; wherein, the first outer yarn layer 1, the middle yarn layer 3, and the second outer yarn layer 2 are shaped using a first adhesive to form the substrate;

[0028] The second adhesive layer is disposed on the outer surface of the first outer yarn layer 1 or the outer surface of the second outer yarn layer 2.

[0029] In this invention, the outer yarns on both sides and the middle yarn are all laid flat. The first outer yarn layer 1 is laid flat at a certain interval, then the middle yarn layer 3 is laid flat on the first outer yarn layer 1 at a certain interval, and finally the second outer yarn layer 2 is laid flat on the middle yarn layer 3 at a certain interval. This invention uses nonwoven flat yarns to make mesh fabric, replacing the previous weaving process, which is cheaper, produces better quality mesh fabric, simplifies the process, and makes it less prone to breakage.

[0030] Furthermore, the yarns of the first outer yarn layer 1 and the second outer yarn layer 2 overlap.

[0031] The yarns of the first outer yarn layer and the second outer yarn layer are staggered.

[0032] The yarns of the first outer yarn layer 1 and the second outer yarn layer 2 in this application are used in two ways: one is overlapping, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the second is staggered, such as Figure 4 As shown.

[0033] When the yarn is fine, it can be used Figure 1 The yarn is laid in an overlapping manner to thicken it. When the yarn is thicker, this method can be used. Figure 4 By using a staggered method, the area of ​​the yarn coated with the second glue is increased, resulting in a higher yarn density.

[0034] When this product is used as a core material for foam, it can be adopted. Figure 1 The overlapping method, when this product is applied to the core material of balsa wood (BALSA, balsa wood), can be adopted. Figure 4 The staggered arrangement.

[0035] Both the first outer yarn layer 1 and the second outer yarn layer 2 are yarns. This utility model overlaps the yarns of the two outer layers, so that when the first glue is used for shaping, the first glue has a better point of force, the adhesion area is increased, the shaping effect is better and stronger.

[0036] The intermediate yarn layer 3 includes at least one intermediate yarn, and the angle α between the at least one intermediate yarn and the first outer yarn layer 1 is 0° < α < 90°.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an intermediate yarn layer. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of two intermediate yarn layers. In this invention, the intermediate yarn layer 3 can be a single layer or multiple layers of yarn. Regardless of the number of layers, the intermediate yarn layer always forms an angle α with the yarn layers on both sides. For example, ... Figure 2 As shown, the outer yarns on both sides are warp yarns, and the middle yarns are weft yarns, with angle a being 90°.

[0038] The outer yarns on both sides do not overlap with the middle yarns to form a mesh fabric structure.

[0039] The included angle b between adjacent intermediate yarns is 0° < b < 90°.

[0040] When there is only one layer of yarn in the middle, the angle between this layer of yarn and the outer layers of yarn on both sides is α. Preferably, α is 90°, which is the warp and weft structure.

[0041] When there are two layers of intermediate yarn, the angle between each layer of intermediate yarn and the outer yarns on both sides is 'a', and the angle between these two layers of intermediate yarn is 'b'. That is, no matter how many layers of intermediate yarn there are, these multiple layers of yarn do not overlap.

[0042] Preferably, the middle yarn is one or two layers.

[0043] This application presents a nonwoven flat mesh structure where the multiple layers of intermediate yarns can be designed at different angles according to usage requirements. This disperses the forces received by the mesh during use and improves the mesh's resistance to shear breakage, which is something that woven meshes cannot achieve.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first adhesive is EVA adhesive, used for shaping the yarns, allowing multiple layers of yarns to bond and connect with each other to form a mesh fabric substrate, facilitating transportation and use. The substrate formed after shaping is not sticky to the touch. The substrate is shaped by immersing the entire substrate in the first adhesive. The first adhesive reinforces or modifies the yarns, making them soft and less prone to breakage, and increases the interfacial strength between the yarns and the second adhesive, also making the application of the second adhesive easier.

[0045] The second adhesive is a polyester hot melt adhesive. The substrate has two surfaces: the first surface is the outer surface of the first outer yarn layer 1, and the second surface is the outer surface of the second outer yarn layer 2. The second adhesive can be applied to either of these surfaces, and the second adhesive can be hot-melted and fixed to the surface of the wind turbine blade core material. The second adhesive can be applied directly to either surface and allowed to cool.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
