  • Wind turbine rotor blades are typically made of fiber-reinforced composite material.
  • a rotor blade may be manufactured by laying multiple layers of fiber mats into a mold and subsequently impregnating the fiber mats with a resin.
  • the fiber mats may be impregnated in a so-called vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process.
  • VARTM vacuum assisted resin transfer molding
  • the rotor blades may be provided with a swept or curved shape as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,344,360 B2, for example. When manufacturing rotor blades with a swept shape, it may be desirable to lay the fiber mats along a curved path in the mold.

  • the fiber mat is advantageous in that the fiber mat can be laid along a curved path without producing wrinkles or crinkles at an inner edge of the fiber mat. Since at least some of the rovings are discontinuous, i.e. for example cut or otherwise interrupted, between the connection areas, respective ends of the rovings are free to move closer together or further apart when bending the fiber mat.
  • the rovings are configured as unidirectional rovings.
  • the fiber mat When laying the fiber mat in a curved path, the fiber mat is bent within the same plane in which it substantially extends.
  • the fiber mat can be impregnated with resin, for example in a VARTM process subsequently to laying it into a mold.
  • resin for example in a VARTM process subsequently to laying it into a mold.
  • a resin which may be used for impregnating the fiber mat are epoxy, polyester, vinylester or any other suitable thermoplastic or duroplastic material.
  • “Cured” or “set” refers to a resin being hardened and/or cross-linked to an extent where the shape of the fiber material impregnated with the resin will not or not change significantly any more.
  • each roving is divided into sections, wherein gaps are provided between the sections of each roving.
  • each roving comprises several sections that are arranged one after another.
  • each section is connected to at least one of the connection areas.
  • connection or joining areas may be formed as by a stitching yarn, a seam or an adhesive (e.g. resin or glue).
  • the gaps are positioned in such a way that the gaps of neighboring rovings are arranged offset.
  • a size of the gaps is configured to be variable when laying the fiber mat on a curved path.
  • the size of the gaps is on the one hand increased at rovings that are positioned near an outer edge of the fiber mat and is on the other rand reduced at rovings that are positioned near an inner edge of the fiber mat.
  • the outer edge has a larger radius of curvature than the inner edge.
  • the sections of a single roving are configured for moving relative to each other when laying the fiber mat on the curved path.
  • connection areas comprise stitching yarns.
  • stitching yarns may be made of a plastic material, for example. “Stitching yarns” are to be understood in a broad sense, also to include threads, fibers or other textile material joining the rovings together.
  • the rovings are made of glass fibers.
  • the rovings may be made of carbon fibers, aramid fibers or the like.
  • a component for a wind turbine in particular a rotor blade, the component being curved at least in parts
  • the component comprises at least one fiber mat as explained above.
  • the component may comprise a plurality of fiber mats that are arranged on top of each other.
  • the fiber mats are arranged such that the gaps between the sections of the rovings are positioned offset.
  • the plurality of fiber mats may be placed in a mold. Subsequently to arranging the fiber mats in the mold they may be impregnated with a resin in a VARTM process. Also, pre-impregnated mats may be used.
  • an apparatus for producing a fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine, in particular a rotor blade, the component being curved at least in parts comprising a connection unit for connecting several rovings being arranged side by side in at least two connection areas and a cutting unit for cutting the rovings such that at least one of the rovings is continuous between the at least two connection areas and that at least one of the rovings is discontinuous between the at least two connection areas.
  • the cutting or chopping unit is able to chop the rovings such that gaps between sections of the rovings are arranged offset.
  • connection unit is a stitching unit for stitching the rovings together in the at least two connection areas.
  • connection unit may be a bonding unit for applying adhesive, e.g. glue or resin, to the fiber mat.
  • a method for producing a fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine, in particular a rotor blade, the component being curved at least in parts comprising the steps: a) arranging several rovings side by side; b) connecting the rovings in at least two connection areas; c) cutting the rovings such that at least one of the rovings is continuous between the at least two connection areas and that at least one of the rovings is discontinuous between the at least two connection areas.
  • the fiber mat or multiple fiber mats may be arranged on a mold surface.
  • the fiber mats are injected with a resin, e.g. in a VARTM-process. After curing or setting of the resin, the formed component may be removed from the mold.
  • the rovings when placing the fiber mat in a mold, the rovings are exposed to tension. This prevents the formation of wrinkles in the rovings.
  • the rovings are cut before or after connecting the same to each other (in the connection areas).
  • Wind turbine presently refers to an apparatus converting the wind's kinetic energy into rotational energy, which may again be converted to electrical energy by the apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wind turbine according to one embodiment
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of a known fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine
  • FIG. 3 shows another view of the fiber mat according to FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of an embodiment of a fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine
  • FIG. 5 shows another view of the fiber mat according to FIG. 4 ;
  • FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a method for producing a fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine
  • FIG. 7 shows a view of an embodiment of an apparatus for producing a fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wind turbine 1 according to an embodiment.
  • the wind turbine 1 comprises a rotor 2 connected to a generator (not shown) arranged inside a nacelle 3 .
  • the nacelle 3 is arranged at the upper end of a tower 4 of the wind turbine 1 .
  • the rotor 2 comprises three blades 5 .
  • Rotors 2 of this kind may have diameters ranging from, for example, 30 to 160 meters.
  • the blades 5 are subjected to high wind loads. At the same time, the blades 5 need to be lightweight. For these reasons, blades 5 in modern wind turbines 1 are manufactured from fiber-reinforced composite materials. Therein, glass fibers are generally advantageous over carbon fibers for cost reasons. Oftentimes, glass fibers in the form of unidirectional fiber mats are used.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 each show a known unidirectional fiber mat 6 ′ for producing such a blade 5 .
  • the fiber mat 6 ′ comprises a plurality of unidirectional fibers or rovings 7 ′ that are arranged side by side and that are attached to each other.
  • the rovings 7 ′ can be fixed relative to each other by at least one stitching yarn 8 ′.
  • a distance between two stitching yarns 8 ′ is designated by the reference numeral L′ in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
  • the blades 5 may have a swept shape. This means that the blades 5 may have a curvature. To produce such a blade 5 with a swept shape it is necessary to lay the fiber mat 6 ′ along a curved path, for example in a curved mold (not shown).
  • FIG. 3 shows the fiber mat 6 ′ being laid in a curved path. Since the rovings 7 ′ are attached to each other by the stitching yarns 8 ′, the rovings 7 ′ provided on an outer edge 9 ′ of the mat 6 ′ are under tension, wherein the rovings 7 ′ provided on an inner edge 10 ′ of the mat 6 ′ are compressed and therefore tend to wrinkle or crinkle.
  • the rovings 7 ′ provided on the inner edge 10 ′ are bent along a smaller radius R i ′ than the rovings 7 ′ provided on the outer edge 9 ′ which are bent along a radius R o ′. Since glass fibers are very strong in taking tensile forces in their longitudinal direction but are very sensitive to bending, and may crack when they are exposed to bending, wrinkling or crinkling of the fibers should be avoided.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 each show a unidirectional fiber mat 6 according to an embodiment.
  • the fiber mat 6 comprises a plurality of unidirectional rovings 7 that are arranged side by side.
  • the rovings 7 may be constituted by glass fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers or the like.
  • the rovings 7 are attached to each other by gluing, stitching or sewing. For this reason, the fiber mat 6 comprises for example at least one seam or stitching yarn 8 (forming a connection area). A distance between two stitching yarns 8 is designated by the reference numeral L.
  • Each roving 7 is chopped or cut into at least two sections 11 , 12 , 13 .
  • the number of sections 11 , 12 , 13 is arbitrary.
  • Each section 11 , 12 , 13 is connected by at least one of the stitching yarn 8 to a neighboring section 11 , 12 , 13 .

  • the gaps 14 , 15 , 140 , 150 of adjacent rovings 7 are arranged offset in the lengthwise direction with respect to each other. That means that gaps 14 , 15 , 140 , 150 of adjacent rovings 7 are arranged in such a way that the gaps 14 , 15 , 140 , 150 are not positioned side by side.
  • every fiber mat 6 there is provided at least one roving 7 between two stitching yarns 8 that is not cut.
  • the uncut roving 7 is continuous between the two stitching yarns 8 .
  • the roving 7 positioned on an outer edge 9 of the mat 6 is not cut between the stitching yarns 8 .
  • the size S of the gaps 14 , 15 increases since the sections 11 , 12 , 13 of rovings 7 arranged on the outer edge 9 of the fiber mat 6 are pulled apart to accommodate for the increased length L between adjacent stitching yarns 8 .
  • the size S of gaps 140 , 150 of rovings 7 arranged on an inner edge 10 of the mat 6 remains unchanged or is decreased to accommodate for the reduced length L between adjacent stitching yarns 8 .
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematically a block diagram of a method for producing a fiber mat 6 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 .
  • the method comprises a step S 1 of arranging several rovings 7 side by side.
  • a step S 2 the rovings 7 are stitched together using a stitching yarn 8 or some other material to form a seam.
  • each roving 7 is cut into sections 11 , 12 , 13 .
  • the rovings 7 are cut in such a way that gaps 14 , 15 , 140 , 150 are provided between sections 11 , 12 , 13 of the rovings 7 .
  • tension may be applied to the rovings 7 to further prevent wrinkling or crinkling thereof.
