Abstract
A method of manufacturing a turbine blade is provided. The described method includes providing an elongate core, surrounding the elongate core with a textile structure, arranging the elongate core surrounded by the textile structure in a mold, pressing at least a part of the textile structure against the mold, and injecting a curing agent into the mold to interact with the textile structure, thereby forming the turbine blade. Also, a system and an intermediate member for manufacturing a turbine blade by means of the described method is provided.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing a turbine blade, comprising:
- providing an elongate core;
- surrounding the elongate core with a textile structure;
- arranging the elongate core surrounded by the textile structure in a mold;
- pressing at least a part of the textile structure against the mold;
- and
- injecting a curing agent into the mold to interact with the textile structure, thereby forming the turbine blade.
A system for manufacturing a turbine blade, the system comprising:
- a device for providing an elongate core;
- a device for surrounding the elongate core with a textile structure;
- a mold adapted for receiving the elongate core surrounded by the textile structure;
- a device for pressing the textile structure against the mold;
- and
- a device for injecting a curing agent into the mold to interact with the textile structure, thereby forming the turbine blade.
An intermediate member for manufacturing a turbine blade, the intermediate member comprising:
- an elongate core;
- and
- a textile structure surrounding the elongate core,
- wherein the intermediate member is adapted to be arranged in a mold such that a turbine blade can be formed by pressing the textile structure against the mold and injecting a curing agent into the mold to interact with the textile structure.
