- the crew 104 is able to move about safely on the blade 102 as such while it is in its horizontal position.
- the attachment devices 103 are, according to the invention, entirely or partially covered when not in use, whereby, in operation, the aerodynamic properties of the blade are influenced minimally by be devices. It is conceivable that the attachment devices 103 are configured for attachment of both lines and wires 106 as well as miscellaneous kinds of bars and rails or the like. Various embodiments of such attachment means are shown in figures 9-16.
- FIG. 2 shows a blade 102 mounted on a wind turbine (not shown), on which a covering tent 201 is positioned.
- the tent is attached to the blade by means of attachment devices 103 on the blade and hereby serve to ensure, on the one hand, improved working conditions for the crew (shelter and cover) and, on the other, optimum conditions over a larger area for given repairs, eg specific temperatures, limited humidity, etc.
- the tent can be of such configuration as to enclose the blade eg by some kind of extra bottom being configured underneath the blade and where the tent thus also serves as a safety net for crew at work.
- the attachment devices 103 may also be advantageous in the context of transportation and mounting of the blades on the wind turbine. By completely or partially lifting the blade in the attachment means 103 as illustrated in Figure 3, a more evenly distributed load on the blade is accomplished compared to a scenario in which the blade is lifted in a few straps fitted around the blade. Likewise, improved check and control of the blade movements are accomplished.
- a working platform 401 or other servicing equipment can be attached to the attachment devices 103 according to the invention.
- a blade 102 is section in cross-sectional view and turned to various degrees about the longitudinal axis of the blade.
- Figure 4 outlines how a working platform 401 according to one embodiment of the invention can be positioned underneath a blade 102 and hereby enable servicing on the bottom face of the blade.
- the working platform 401 is attached to attachment devices 103 on the top face of the blade.
- the attachment devices that the attachment devices are positioned on the bottom face of the blade or on both sides.
- An alternative option for repairing or inspecting the bottom face of the blade is by allowing the blade to turn half a round about its longitudinal axis and to service it from above.
- the working platform is outlined as suspended in wires 402, but it is also an option that it is suspended in bars or constructed as scaffolding or the like.
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate how the rear edge 501 and fore edge 601 of the blade can be serviced in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
- the blade By turning of the blade 102 about its longitudinal axis, the blade can be positioned with fore or rear edge facing downwards, whereby a working platform 401 or a frame can be built to reach above or below the area of the blade which is to be inspected or repaired.
- Figure 5 shows a working platform which is suspended underneath the rear edge 501 of the blade and is suspended from a number of attachment devices 103 on the blade 102.
- Figure 6 shows a platform or scaffolding built across the fore edge of the blade 601.
- the blade can be turned about its longitudinal axis to a larger or smaller extent, depending on to which area on the blade it is desired to have optimal access.
- the blade can be equipped with a number of attachment devices 103 down along the blade as shown in Figure 7, where the attachment devices are positioned in two rows 701 down along the front and rear edges 501 , 601.
- the devices are positioned closer to each other near the root 702 of the blade and at larger intervals outwards towards the blade tip 703, whereby a more even distribution of the load is accomplished if the blade is lifted in the attachment devices.
- the attachment devices are positioned in straight rows to enable mounting of rails therein. Such rails may be advantageous in case equipment is to be transported on the rail or optionally to enable sliding securing of crew who are able to pull the safety line behind them.
- the attachment devices may furthermore serve several functions and be used to advantage to a number of tasks, such as eg being provided with light, serving as multi-receptors for lightning protection, as suspension for advertising banners or as fixing points for aerodynamic features such as spoilers or flaps.
- FIG 8 is a cross-sectional view of various arrangements of attachment devices 103 in or at the blade shell 801.
- the attachment means as such are shown in greater detail in the figures that follow.
