Abstract
A lifting device for connecting two rotor blade segments of a wind turbine at the location of the wind turbine is adapted to move in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade. The lifting device includes a frame structure, means for supporting and guiding the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade, means for lowering and/or lifting the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade, and means for lifting and/or lowering a rotor blade segment.
Claims19
A lifting device for connecting two rotor blade segments of a wind turbine, said lifting device being adapted for being moved in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade, the lifting device comprising:
- a frame structure,
- means for supporting and guiding the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade,
- means for lowering and/or lifting the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade, and
- means for lifting and/or lowering a rotor blade segment,
- wherein the frame structure comprises a first part of a coupling guide for guiding a coupling of a first rotor blade segment and second rotor blade segment, and wherein said means for supporting and guiding the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade comprises a plurality of contact means.
A lifting assembly for connecting two or more rotor blade segments of a rotor blade, the assembly comprising:
- a lifting device being adapted for being moved in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade, the lifting device comprising:
- a frame structure,
- means for supporting and guiding the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade,
- means for lowering and/or lifting the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade, and
- means for lifting and/or lowering a rotor blade segment,
- wherein the frame structure comprises a first part of a coupling guide for guiding a coupling of a first rotor blade segment and second rotor blade segment, and wherein said means for supporting and guiding the frame structure in relation to the rotor blade comprises a plurality of contact means, and
- a fixation part having means for fixation of a rotor blade segment, the fixation part further comprising means for connecting the fixation part to the means for lifting and or lowering a rotor blade segment placed in connection with the lifting device.
