Title:
Apparatus for Automatic Manufacturing of Wind Turbine Blades
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/051979
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An apparatus for the automatic manufacturing of wind turbine blades, the apparatus comprising a tool support (2) adapted to be mounted above a wind turbine blade mould (1), wherein the tool support (2) is elongate in a longitudinal direction (L) so as to extend longitudinally along at least a portion of a length of the wind turbine blade mould (1) when the tool support (2) is mounted above the wind turbine blade mould (1), wherein the elongate tool support (2) comprises a main suspension beam (4) which is elongate in the longitudinal direction (L), a plurality of support frames (8) fitted to the main suspension beam (4) for supporting the main suspension beam (4) above the wind turbine blade mould (1), the plurality of support frames (8) being provided as a series of support frames (8) positioned along the length of the main suspension beam (4) on opposite longitudinal sides (11a, 11b) of the main suspension beam (4), each support frame (8) comprising a base mechanism (29) adapted to be detachably fitted to the wind turbine blade mould (1), an elongate guide rail (5) provided on the main suspension beam (4) so as to extend longitudinally along the main suspension beam (4), a slider base (6) slidably mounted on the guide rail (5), a drive mechanism (53) for driving the slider base (6) longitudinally along the guide rail (5) and a tool holder (7) mounted on the slider base (6). Also disclosed is a corresponding method for the automatic manufacturing of wind turbine blades. The utility model achieves automatic manufacturing of wind turbine blades, which replaces current manual operations, which not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the blade manufacture, but also reduces the exposure of the human body to harmful substances used in blade manufacture.
