Subsequently, the rotor body is bladed by the mounting portions of the rotor blades or rotor blade segments are inserted into the corresponding mounting areas. To secure the rotor blades or rotor blade segments, end portions of the individual security systems are bent over to form a kind of clip around the attachment area.
  • a disadvantage of the known security systems is the fact that in cases where these Retainerbleche be damaged when bent, the entire rotor body has to be de-scooped to replace the defective security system. This leads to significantly increased monthly costs and times.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a security system of the type mentioned, which allows improved assembly and disassembly. Further objects of the invention are a corresponding method for securing a fastening region of at least one rotor blade or a rotor blade segment in a mounting region of a To provide rotor body and a rotor with a corresponding security system.

  • a two-part securing system according to the invention is provided, the two holding sub-elements are clipped together to secure the rotor blade or the rotor blade segment on the rotor body in the respective mounting area, the holding portions of the holding part elements are formed in the assembled state of the holding part elements such that without further steps such as bending or the like effect a positional fixation of the relevant rotor blade or the relevant rotor blade segment.
  • a particularly simple, fast and cost-effective installation of the securing system and a correspondingly simple, fast and cost-effective position securing of the rotor blade or the rotor blade segment are made possible.
  • it is also sufficient to release the clip connection between the holding part elements.
  • the again separated holding sub-elements can then be easily removed from the mounting area and optionally replaced by new holding sub-elements.
  • a defibration of the entire rotor body is not required in contrast to the prior art, whereby considerable time and cost advantages can be achieved.
  • the security system is basically independent from the required mounting direction and can be mounted, for example, in the axial or radial direction, from the front or from the back of the rotor main body. After making the clip connection, the security system continues to ensure a defined flow of force.

This allows a particularly simple adjustment of Einclips- and Ausclips term that can be adjusted substantially independently. Thus, for example, a firm and secure connection of the holding part elements can be ensured with great Ausclipskraft.

  • the latching tongue is elastically deformable between a rest position and a deflected position, the latching tongue can be elastically deformed during insertion of the locking lug out of the rest position until the latch has reached its desired final assembly position and the clip connection is made.
  • the latching tongue returns to its rest position after or during the manufacture of the clip connection.
  • an insertion bevel for clipping forms the at least one latching lug of the first holding part element
  • a simplified assembly of a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is achieved in that the at least one locking lug on its side facing away from the holding region has a rounded and / or beveled Ein 1500kontur.
  • a particularly precise adjustment of the necessary for disassembly Ausclipskraft is alternatively or additionally achieved in that the at least one locking lug on its side facing the holding portion comprises a locking edge which includes a predetermined angle with a longitudinal axis of the shaft.
  • the latching edge of the latching lug runs at a right angle or at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the shaft in order to ensure particularly high Ausclips material.
  • the Ausclips be set so high that the clip connection can not be solved without destruction.
  • the connecting region of the second holding part element comprises a receptacle in which the at least one latching lug of the first holding part element is arranged in the latched state of the holding part elements.
  • a particularly precise adaptability to different geometries of the assembly area is achieved in a further embodiment of the invention in that the longitudinal axis of the shaft and / or a main extension axis of the clip receiving a predetermined angle with a main extension axis of the associated holding portion includes.
  • the securing system can be adapted in a particularly simple manner to mounting regions extending obliquely or non-parallel to a rotational axis of the rotor main body.
  • the connecting regions of the first holding part element and the second holding part element comprise each other corresponding Stops, by means of which a relative movement between the holding part elements can be limited. This is a structurally simple and cost-effective way to limit the relative mobility of the two holding part elements and to define a final assembly position.
  • connection areas of the first holding part element and the second holding part element are designed such that they can be clipped only destructive after locking.
  • a mechanically particularly stable securing of the rotor blade or the rotor blade segment and a particularly advantageous force flow are achieved in a further embodiment of the invention in that the holding portion and the connecting portion of the first holding member and / or the second holding member are formed in cross-section substantially L-shaped.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for securing a fastening region of at least one rotor blade or a rotor blade segment in a mounting region of a rotor main body.
  • the security system After making the clip connection, the security system also ensures a defined flow of force.
