Abstract[English]
A method and a device (10) are provided for curing a bond joint in a wind turbine blade manufacturing process. The device (10) comprises a mobile frame (20), a root cap (30) configured to be coupled to a root end of a wind turbine blade (6) that is being manufactured, a seal (50) provided on the root cap (30), a hot air duct (41) passing through the root cap (30) and arranged to blow hot air into a blade cavity of the wind turbine blade (6), and a return duct (43) passing through the root cap (3) and arranged to receive a return flow of air from the blade cavity. The method comprises mechanically coupling the root cap (30) to the root end, inflating an inflatable seal (50), and blowing hot air through into the blade cavity.[French]
Un procédé et un dispositif (10) sont fournis pour durcir un joint de liaison dans un processus de fabrication de pale d'éolienne. Le dispositif (10) comprend un cadre mobile (20), une coiffe (30) configurée pour être accouplée à une extrémité de pied d'une pale d'éolienne (6) qui est fabriquée, un joint d'étanchéité (50) disposé sur la coiffe (30), un conduit d'air chaud (41) traversant la coiffe (30) et conçu pour souffler de l'air chaud dans une cavité de pale de la pale d'éolienne (6), et un conduit de retour (43) traversant le capuchon de racine (3) et conçu pour recevoir un flux de retour d'air de la cavité de pale. Le procédé comprend l'accouplement mécanique de la coiffe (30) à l'extrémité de pied, le gonflage d'un joint gonflable (50), et le soufflage d'air chaud à travers la cavité de pale.
