Abstract
A device for connecting sections of wings such as wind turbine blades, which has, at the ends of adjacent sections, central box structures that are placed end-to-end and are clamped together by clamping rods, and a method for producing sections of wings such as wind turbine blades, which includes a step of producing devices for connecting the sections in the form of central joining box structures
Claims20
A device for connecting sections of wings such as wind turbine blades, comprising:
- at the ends of each adjacent section, box structures that are placed end-to-end and are clamped together by clamping rods, said box structures having, for each section, a tubular connecting box received between two bearing plates, said bearing plates forming ribs of the section.
A method for producing sections of wings such as wind turbine blades, comprising:
- for each section, a step of producing a device for connecting said sections in the form of a central joining box structure from a tubular connecting box and bearing plates, between which the tubular connecting box is received.
