Wind power blade manufacturing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of production and manufacturing of wind power blades, in particular to a wind power blade manufacturing method which can effectively control deformation and folds possibly existing in fiber reinforced fabrics at the root of a blade in the production process, avoid reducing the bearing capacity of the fiber reinforced fabrics due to the existence of the folds and avoid causing quality hidden trouble to the operation of the wind power blade.
Background
Wind power blades are key components of wind power generators, and blade quality is critical to the reliability of wind turbine operation. At present, the wind power blade manufacturing process mainly comprises two types, namely a prepreg forming process and a vacuum infusion forming process, wherein the application of the prepreg forming process is wider. Wind power blades manufactured by vacuum infusion molding processes generally use fiber reinforced fabrics, which have a certain softness in order to maintain good conformality with the curved surface of the blade mold. However, due to the softness of the fabric, deformation and wrinkling can occur during laying and vacuuming. Because the fiber reinforced fabric is the main bearing material of the blade, the existence of deformation and folds can reduce the bearing capacity of the fiber reinforced fabric, cause quality hidden trouble to the operation of the blade, and are listed as serious quality defects in the industry. In order to make the surface of the fiber reinforced fabric flat, it is common practice to manually roll a layer of fiber reinforced fabric by using auxiliary tools every time a layer of fiber reinforced fabric is laid in the process of laying the fiber reinforced fabric, and then laying a layer of fiber reinforced fabric. The method can control the folds of the fiber reinforced fabric in partial areas to a certain extent, and improves the quality of the blade.
The method for manually rolling the fiber reinforced fabric can control the flatness of the fiber reinforced fabric on a certain distance, and has good effect on the part with less layering layers. However, for the parts with a large number of layers of fabric, usually the areas close to the root of the blade, wrinkles still occur in the processes of laying, vacuumizing and resin pouring due to the softness of the fiber reinforced fabric. In the blade produced by the embedded bolt sleeve mode, gaps between adjacent bolt sleeves are required to be filled by glass fiber reinforced plastic wedge-shaped strips, and fiber reinforced fabrics near the tips of the wedge-shaped strips are usually easy to wrinkle. In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a novel method for effectively controlling wrinkles at the root of the wind power blade.

For the blade produced in the pre-buried mode, as shown in fig. 5, the root of the wind power blade is provided with pre-buried bolt sleeves 70, and gaps between adjacent bolt sleeves 70 are filled with glass fiber reinforced plastic wedge-shaped strips 80. Because the glass fiber reinforced plastic wedge-shaped strips 80 with oblique angles are used between the embedded bolt sleeves 70, the form of the layer below the bolt sleeve 70 at the root of the blade is different from that of the layer above the bolt sleeve at the root of the blade. The layering shape under the blade root bolt sleeve 70 is the same as the surface shape of the blade mould and is a cylindrical surface; the upper surface of the bolt sleeve 70 of the blade root is a cylindrical surface on the side close to the flange, and the bevel area of the wedge-shaped glass fiber reinforced plastic strip 80 is an approximate conical surface.
In order to control possible deformation and wrinkling of the fiber reinforced fabric at the root of the blade, avoid reducing the bearing capacity of the fiber reinforced fabric at the root of the blade due to the existence of wrinkling and cause quality hidden trouble to the operation of the wind power blade, the invention respectively places rigid control cushion blocks 31 and 32 in the fiber reinforced fabric layers below and above the bolt sleeve 70, thereby inhibiting the deformation of the soft fiber reinforced fabric.

The gasket is made of a material, and the resin is poured epoxy resin for producing the blade; the fiber fabric is glass fiber fabric for producing blades, and is commonly used as uniaxial glass fiber fabric, biaxial glass fiber fabric and triaxial glass fiber fabric, preferably triaxial glass fiber fabric adopted for blade root layering. The thickness of the cushion block is not too thick, and larger steps or gaps exist between the upper layer of fabric and the lower layer of fabric at the edge of the too thick cushion block, so that the comprehensive performance of the finally formed composite material is affected. In addition, too thick shims increase the actual thickness of the blade root layer, which may cause inconvenience in the installation of the bolt housing at a later stage.
The manufacturing process of the rigidity control cushion block at the lower part of the bolt sleeve is shown in fig. 1, a release cloth 20 is paved on the surface of a blade root cylindrical section 10 of the blade mould coated with release agent, a glass fiber fabric 30 is paved on the surface of the release cloth, the release cloth 20 is paved on the surface of the glass fiber fabric, a porous isolating film 40 is paved on the surface of the release cloth, a flow guide net 50 is paved on the surface of the porous isolating film, and a vacuum bag film 60 is paved on the surface of the flow guide net.

After the resin is solidified, auxiliary materials such as a vacuum bag film, a diversion net and the like are removed, the cushion block is removed from the die, and demolding cloth on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cushion block is reserved. In order to facilitate resin to flow through the pad and soak the glass fiber fabric layer below the pad in the process of manufacturing the blade in the later stage, holes are required to be punched on the pad, and the density and the size of the holes are determined according to actual needs. The aperture is not too large, preferably 2-3mm, the aperture number is not too large and too dense, preferably the aperture spacing is 20mm x 20mm, so as not to influence the strength of the cushion block, and damage or destroy is caused by stress in the process of taking and placing. The release cloths on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cushion block are favorable for protecting the surface of the cushion block, and the release cloth on the lower surface of the cushion block also plays a role in isolating the cushion block and the release agent on the surface of the die. If the lower surface of the cushion block is not provided with release cloth, the surface is polished to remove the release agent before the cushion block is used. The lower rigid control pad 31 of the perforated bolt housing is shown in fig. 2.
SS2 manufacture of rigid control cushion block 32 at upper part of bolt sleeve
The front part of the rigid control cushion block at the upper part of the bolt sleeve is a cylindrical surface, the middle part is an approximate conical surface, the rear part is a cylindrical surface, the shape of the bolt sleeve is different from that of the blade root cylindrical section of the blade mould, the bolt sleeve cannot be directly manufactured on the blade mould, and a special mould 11 (shown in figure 3) is needed. The front end of the upper cushion block mould 11 is a cylindrical surface, and the length of the cylindrical section is not smaller than that of the equal section of the wedge-shaped strip for blade production. The middle is an approximate conical surface, and the length of the conical section is consistent with the length of a wedge-shaped strip variable section (bevel area) for blade production. The angle of inclination alpha of the conical section is consistent with the chamfer alpha (as shown in fig. 5) of the wedge-shaped strip. The rear part is a cylindrical surface, and the total length of the die is not smaller than the length of the cylindrical section of the blade root.
The manufacturing method of the rigid control cushion block at the upper part of the bolt sleeve is the same as that of the rigid control cushion block at the lower part of the bolt sleeve, and a vacuum suction injection molding process is adopted. The resin of the manufacturing material is epoxy resin for pouring in the production of the blade, the fiber fabric is glass fiber fabric for producing the blade, preferably triaxial glass fiber fabric for paving the blade root of the blade, the layer number is 2, and the gram weight is 1200g/m 2 。
The manufacturing process of the upper rigid control cushion block of the bolt sleeve is similar to that of the lower cushion block, as shown in fig. 3, a release cloth 20 is paved on the surface of a special cushion block mold 11 coated with release agent, a glass fiber fabric 30 is paved on the surface of the release cloth, the release cloth 20 is paved on the surface of the glass fiber fabric, a porous isolating film 40 is paved on the surface of the release cloth, a diversion net 50 is paved on the surface of the porous isolating film, and a vacuum bag film 60 is paved on the surface of the diversion net. Considering the strength and thickness requirements of the cushion block, 2 layers of cushion block with the gram weight of 1200g/m are preferably adopted 2 Is manufactured by the three-axial glass fiber fabric. The material is laid with care that the material remains flat and no wrinkles appear, especially at the transition from cylindrical section to conical section and from conical section to cylindrical section, and each layer of material should be rolled with an auxiliary tool.
And vacuumizing after layering, removing air in the layering, sucking and injecting resin, and heating the die for curing after sucking and injecting. After the resin is solidified, auxiliary materials such as a vacuum bag film, a diversion net and the like are removed, the cushion block is removed from the die, and demolding cloth on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cushion block is reserved. Similar to the lower spacer, the upper spacer also requires perforation, and the pore size and pore density are consistent with those of the lower spacer, and the perforated spacer 32 is shown in fig. 4.
SS3 fabric placement and control pad placement
Before the fabric is laid, the perforated upper and lower cushion blocks 31 and 32 are taken out, and the release cloth on the surfaces of the cushion blocks is removed for standby. If the spacer is oversized, it should be trimmed appropriately to allow the size of the spacer to match the blade mold. For the upper cushion block, as three parts with different forms are arranged, the front cylindrical section is properly trimmed, so that the length of the front cylindrical section is consistent with the length of the equal section of the wedge-shaped strip, and if the length exceeds the length of the equal section of the wedge-shaped strip, a gap can be formed at a corner, so that a resin-rich area is caused, and the performance of the final blade is influenced. If the thickness of the cushion block is larger, the corners of the cushion block should be properly polished with a certain bevel angle so as not to cause local gaps between the upper and lower adjacent layers of fabrics, thereby causing resin enrichment and affecting the performance of the final blade.
The fabric laying is carried out according to the process requirements of manufacturing the layers of the blades (as shown in figure 5), firstly, the glass fiber fabrics 30-1 are laid layer by layer on the surface of the blade mould 10 coated with the release agent according to the design requirements, and each layer of glass fiber fabrics is rolled by an auxiliary tool so as to ensure the surface smoothness of the fabrics. Before all the layers below the bolt housing 70 are completed, 1 to 2 layers of glass fiber fabrics 30-2 are left, and a rigid control pad 31 below the bolt housing is placed on the surface of the completed layer 30-1, and then the remaining 1 to 2 layers of glass fiber fabrics 30-2 below the bolt housing are laid. After the lower layering of the bolt housing is completed, the bolt housing 70 and wedge bar 80 are placed as required by the process. Then, the upper layer of the bolt sleeve is laid, 1 to 2 layers of glass fiber fabrics 30-3 are laid first, and then the upper rigid control cushion block 32 of the bolt sleeve is placed. In the process of placing the upper cushion block 32, the cushion block is guaranteed to be attached to the surface of the lower glass fiber fabric everywhere, particularly, gaps cannot occur at the transition positions from the cylindrical section to the conical section and from the conical section to the cylindrical section of the cushion block. After the placement of the upper pad 32 is completed, the remaining glass fiber fabrics 30-4 are laid layer by layer according to the design requirements, and the surface of each layer of fabric is ensured to be flat. After the fabric is paved, auxiliary materials such as the release cloth 20, the perforated isolating film 40, the diversion net 50, the vacuum bag film 60 and the like are sequentially paved.
SS4 injection resin
After the layering and auxiliary material arrangement for the blades are completed, a vacuum system is started to remove air in the layering. And then resin is sucked and infused, and the resin can penetrate through the cushion blocks to the lower fabric layer due to the openings on the surfaces of the lower cushion blocks and the upper cushion blocks, so that the bad infiltration is avoided.
SS5 heat curing
After the resin is sucked and injected, a mold heating system is started, and the temperature is gradually increased and solidified according to the requirements of the blade manufacturing process. After the curing is completed, the laying material is removed, the subsequent manufacturing procedures such as web installation, die assembly and the like are started, and finally the blade manufacturing is completed.

The rigidity control cushion block is divided into a bolt sleeve lower rigidity control cushion block and a bolt sleeve upper rigidity control cushion block according to different forms, the lower cushion block is manufactured by taking a blade root cylindrical section of a blade mould as the mould, and the obtained cushion block has good matching performance with the blade mould. The upper cushion block is manufactured by adopting a special die, and the die is reasonably designed, so that the laminating property of the cushion block and the upper layer of the bolt sleeve can be ensured. The cushion block is manufactured by adopting the pouring resin and the glass fiber fabric for producing the blade, so that the compatibility of the cushion block and the blade can be effectively ensured, and the interface problem does not occur. And the surface of the cushion block is perforated, so that resin can smoothly penetrate through the cushion block to soak the fabric layer below the cushion block, and the resin filling process of the blade is not affected. The upper surface and the lower surface of the cushion block are protected by release cloths, so that dust pollution can be effectively avoided, and long-time storage is facilitated.
