Description

DK 181418 B1 1
Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to a support module for a wind turbine blade.
The support module comprises a resilient body with a support face and one or more apertures adapted for receiving a fastening unit.
The support module furthermore comprises a base plate integrally connected to the re- silient body with a mounting face facing away from the support face.
The support module is configured to be fastened to a substrate with one or more fas- tening units fastening the base plate to the substrate.
The mounting face is configured to obtain a concave shape at least along a first direction such that the support module is mountable on a convex-curved substrate. The support surface is configured to provide a friction coefficient between the support module and an item to be supported.
The disclosure furthermore relates to a support system comprising multiple support modules and a cylinder substrate, the use of the support module and the support system for supporting a wind turbine blade and a method therefor.
Background of the Disclosure
Handling and transport of large constructions such as wind turbine blades pose several challenges due to dimensions, weight, and logistics.
The blades are typically handled using two independent support stations, a root support supporting the blade at or near the root end, and a tip support arranged to support the blade closer to the tip.
DK 181418 B1 2
The two independent support stations are connected through the wind turbine blade and moving or pivoting the wind turbine blade is achieved by moving or rotating the support stations. It is therefore crucial that the blade is arranged in a fixed position on the two support stations for optimal support and for preventing the blade from sliding during handling to secure a safe transport, handling, or storage.
It is common to use a moulded shield or plate in the shape of the blade to achieve a large contact surface for a steady support and high friction between the blade and the support station to reduce the risk of the blade sliding on the support station.
EP3722600A1 discloses an active clamping and supporting system for transporting wind turbine blades, comprising support modules with a resilient material fastened to a base plate and a mounting plate. The base plate’s surface facing the resilient material is a convex shape adapted for the wind turbine blade.
Using a moulded shield or plate can be a rather costly solution, due to the need of a moulding form, which has to be redesigned and replaced when the design of the wing is changed, just as the mould will have to be replaced if damaged.
The moulded shields or plates are, in order to give strength, too rigid and will damage the blade if contact is initiated and therefore not very resilient. Therefore, it is known to introduce a layer between the surface of the shield or plate and the blade of textiles, rubber or composite material to increase the flexibility, resilience and friction of the support.
However, due to the weight of the blade, the introduced layer will be subjected to twist- ing and stress under heavy load causing the introduced layer to crumple, slip, loosen or slide with the risk of damaging the surface of the blade.
It is advantageous to have a resilient support system adaptable for many different forms and designs of a wind turbine blade and one, which can be easily replaced if damaged.
Such a support system should preferably be usable during transport, handling and/or
Storage.
DK 181418 B1 3
The resilient support system should preferably be low-weight, give no staining to the surface and reduce the risk of inducing stress in the blade when moved or pivoted while achieving friction forces between the support system and the blade while maintaining the blade in a fixed position on the support station.
Object of the Disclosure
One objective of the disclosure is to achieve a support system suitable for handling, transporting, or storing large constructions such as wind turbine blades, which over- comes one or more of the drawbacks of prior art support systems. A support system where a working friction force is achieved when loaded for holding e.g. the blade in a fixed position.
It is a further objective to achieve a support system which is easily repairable if damaged e.g. by replacing individual elements of the system. An additional objective is to obtain a modular support system
Description of the Invention
One objective of the disclosure is obtained with a support module for a wind turbine blade.
The support module comprises a resilient body with a support face and one or more apertures adapted for receiving a fastening unit.
The support module furthermore comprises a base plate with a mounting face facing away from the support face. The base plate comprises one or more mounting holes aligned with the one or more apertures in the body. The apertures and mounting holes extend through the support module between the support face and the mounting face, such that the support module is configured to be fastened to a substrate with one or more fastening units fastening the base plate to the substrate.
The base plate is integrally connected to the resilient body and is made of a bendable material.
DK 181418 B1 4
The mounting face is configured to obtain a concave shape at least along a first direction such that the support module is mountable on a convex-curved substrate. The support surface is configured to provide a friction coefficient between the support module and an item to be supported.
The resilient body may be made of a resilient material.
The base plate may be constructed to be bendable, i.e. not rigid.
The surface may be inter- or bisected by a plurality of grooves and/or valleys, such that the thickness of the support module and hence the resilient body varies over the mount- ing face.
In one aspect, the base plate may form the mounting face in whole or parts thereof.
Thus, the resilient body may enclose the base plate at the periphery, such that the baseplate when the support module is mounted is enclosed by the substrate and the re- silient body.
In use, when the support modules are mounted on the substrate with a wind turbine blade resting on the surface, the resilient body is pressed and tensed under the load of the wind turbine blade. The resilient material of the module may thereby adapt to the shape of the blade section in contact with the surface such that a close and tight contact between the surface of the blade section and the surface is obtained. This may ensure that a large friction force is achieved for the purpose of preventing the blade from sliding off the support.
The combination of the non-resilient base plate and the tight contact between the wind turbine blade and the surface of the support module may result in a high friction inter- face between the two surfaces while ensuring an adaptable, gentle, and secure support for the blade, where the support is usable for both transport, handling and/or storage.
A single or multiple support module may be used with one substrate, depending on the size and weight of the load, and the size of the substrate, which again should be dimen- sioned according to the size and weight of the load. The multiple support modules may
DK 181418 B1 be fastened to the substrate arranged in an array to provide sufficient friction between the surfaces and sufficient support of the load.
The convex-shaped substrate may include a cylindrical, lens, disk- or sphere-shaped 5 substrate. The convex shape may provide a substrate supporting the blade while being moved or pivoted in a plane parallel to a surface of a support station, such that the support module may roll, tilt or pivot on the support station while maintaining to support the blade.
The resilient body provides a dynamic support and should be adapted for use in chang- ing environmental conditions, handling, or transport. This may include temperature changes, rain or condensation, vibrations, and movements. One effect of the surface and the resilient character of the support module may ensure that the contact area between the surface and the blade is not continuous but discontinued in minor areas. This may result in a higher coefficient of friction between the two items compared to a continuous surface. Furthermore, the discontinued areas may provide for water to drain from the support module and for deformation of the resilient body in response to thermal expan- sion, vibration and for transferring stress or twisting induced in the blade to the resilient body.
The base plate may be made of metal partly to obtain a solid base for mounting the module e.g. by bolts or comparable fasteners to the substrate. Alternatively, the support modules may be fastened to the substrate by adhesives or snap-fit fasteners configured to engage with the substrate.
In other aspects, the base plate may be produced in plastic or composite material pref- erably glass or fibre reinforced providing a stable but bendable base plate.
In an additional embodiment of the support module, the resilient body is made of rubber, preferably polyurethane.
In yet an additional embodiment of the support module, the support face comprises an array of upstanding protrusions.
In one aspect, the upstanding protrusions may be square based pyramids with a flat top.
DK 181418 B1 6
In one aspect, the dimensions of the array of upstanding protrusions may be in the in- terval of 2-5 and 3-10 respectively, preferably 2-3 and 3-6, more preferably 2 and 4.
In one aspect, the support modules may be designed with a rectangular mounting face.
The array of upstanding protrusions provides for an array of hollow fields, which may provide a dynamic support of flexibility (e.g. stretch, resilience) and attenuation. Fur- thermore, a higher friction due to the discontinued contact area may be achieved com- pared to one continuous area of contact.
In yet an additional embodiment of the support module, the support face is convex- shaped at least along the first direction and/or the base plate is concave-shaped at least along the first direction.
One effect of a pre-shaped support module may include that the materials in the support module and interfaces both within the module or on the faces of the module can be mounted with less risk of inducing stress or twisting in the module before taking the mounting support module in use. This may increase the lifetime of the support module.
Another objective of the disclosure is obtained with the use of the support module ac- cording to one or more of the embodiments disclosed herein mounted on a cylindrical support with a periphery. The use may be for supporting a wind turbine blade in transport, storage or at a site of production operation. The modules may be arranged in an array on the convex-surfaced substrate to cover the periphery of at least a section of the cylinder support.
One effect of this use may be to provide a substrate supporting the blade while being moved or pivoted in a plane parallel to a surface of a support station, such that the support module may roll, tilt or pivot on the support station while maintaining to support the blade. The use of multiple modules may furthermore have the benefit that individual, or all support modules may be replaced according to wear and tear without having to replace the substrate. The substrate may be large and contain heavy units configured to
DK 181418 B1 7 withstand the load of the wind turbine blade and thus not easily replaceable. Further- more, the support may account for a significant cost.
The effect and benefits of the disclosed use of the support modules may be comparable to those already discussed in connection with the disclosed embodiments of the support modules.
Yet another objective of the disclosure is obtained with a support system for a wind turbine blade in motion, e.g. when being moved or pivoted. The system comprises one or more support modules according to one or more of the embodiments disclosed herein, a cylinder support and multiple fastening units.
The cylinder support may comprise multiple mounting holes.
The fastening units may be configured for mounting the support module(s) to the con- vex-shaped surface of the cylinder support in the support mounting holes.
The one or more support modules may be replaceable and mounted on the cylinder support and arranged to cover the periphery of at least a section of the cylinder support.
It may be advantageous to have a modular and scalable system usable for different forms and designs of the blade and the substrate. This may be beneficial in regard to mass production, and for maintenance, where different systems can be maintained using the same support modules.
The effect and benefits of a support system may be similar to those already discussed in connection with the disclosed embodiments of the support modules. Likewise, for the following disclosures the effect and benefits may be similar to those already dis- cussed in connection with the disclosed embodiments of the support modules, the use thereof, and the support system.
Another objective of the disclosure is obtained with the use of the support system to move and/or pivot a wind turbine blade relative to a working station, where the support system is arranged between the wind turbine blade and a working station, such that the wind turbine blade is in contact with the surface of the support system and connected to
DK 181418 B1 8 the working station, such that the blade and the working station can be moved and/or pivot relative to each other in a supported way.
Yet another objective of the disclosure is obtained with a method of pivoting and/or moving wind turbine blades supported on a working station comprising the acts of: - providing one or more support systems as disclosed, - arranging the support system between the working station and the wind turbine blade such that the support system is connected to the working station and where the wind turbine blade rests on the support system with the surface for the support modules in contact with the surface of the wind turbine blade, - moving and/or pivoting the wind turbine blade and the working station relative to each other.

Figures 5-6 illustrate one embodiment of the support module with an array of upstand- ing protrusions;
Figure 7a and 7b illustrate embodiments of the support system.

Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate one embodiment of the support module 1 comprising a resilient body 10 and a base plate 20. Figure 1 illustrates the support module in perspective view with the support face facing upwards. In figure 2 the support module is illustrated with the mounting face facing upwards. The base plate 20 in the illustrated embodiment is wider and longer than the resilient body.
The resilient body 10 has a support face 12 and one or more apertures 14.
The base plate 20 is integrally connected to the resilient body 10. Because the base plate extends beyond the resilient body, the mounting face 22 is provided by the base plate.
The mounting face faces away from the support face.
The base plate comprises one or more mounting holes 24. The apertures 14 and the mounting holes are aligned such that apertures and mounting holes extend through the support module 1 between the support face and the mounting face and is adapted for receiving a fastening unit. The fastening unit can be entered into the aperture from the support face side such that a head of the fastening unit can rest on the base plate with the fastening unit extending through the mounting hole 24, such that the support module can be fastened to a substrate with the base plate being held in contact with the substrate.
DK 181418 B1 10
The diameter of the apertures 14 may therefore be larger than the diameter of the mount- ing holes 24.
Figure 3 illustrates a different embodiment of the support module 1, where the base plate 20 is smaller in width and length than the resilient body 10. In this embodiment, the mounting face 22 comprises a face of the base plate and the part of the resilient body surrounding the periphery of the base plate.
Figure 4 illustrates a support module 1 with a mounting face 22 having a concave shape along a first direction and a convex-shaped support face 12. The support module is il- lustrated as a sheet for simplicity, and hence therefore does not show the features al- ready illustrated in the embodiment illustrated in figures 1-3.
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate one embodiment of the support module, with a support face comprising an array of upstanding protrusions 16. The upstanding protrusions are illus- trated as square based pyramid stubs with a flat top. The illustrated support modules have an array of 2 x 4 upstanding protrusions.
In figure 5 the support module is seen from the support face showing the apertures 14 and the mounting holes 24 aligned. The diameter of the apertures 14 are larger than the diameter of the mounting holes 24.
Figure 7a illustrates a schematic embodiment of the support system 100 with multiple support modules 1 mounted on a cylinder support 40. The illustrated cylinder support comprises mounting holes 44 for mounting the support module(s) to the convex-shaped surface of the cylinder support. The support modules 1 are mounted on the cylinder support 40 to more or less cover the entire periphery 42 of at least a section of the cylinder support. Likewise, in fig. 7b a similar support system 100 is illustrated where the support modules 1 are arranged, such that the support systems 100 together provides a supportive surface without large unsupported areas.
In figure 8 is illustrated an embodiment wherein a plurality of support systems 100 are mounted on separate axles 102 in a workstation. The carriers of the axles in the work- station are not illustrated. The axles 102 are arranged such that their centre of rotation
DK 181418 B1 11 follows part of a circle — indicated by the dashed line 106. When a circular object 104, for example a wind turbine blade, tower or the like is positioned on the plurality of support systems arranged as indicated in figure 8, it is easy to rotate the object 104.
Furthermore, the resilient bodies on the support system 100 assures gentle handling.
Should a support module fail for any reason, it is a simple operation to replace the mod- ule 1, as described above. In this manner continuous use of the invention is assured, with a consistent quality, as the resilient bodies (support modules 1) may be replaced as desired without interfering with the procedures being carried out on the object 104.
