Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A production method and to a composite structural part, in particular for a wind power plant, with a multiplicity of at least two-component composite moldings, a first component being formed from a shaping core material and a second component being formed as part of a joining layer. According to the invention, the shaping core material is formed, in conformity with the shape of a prism, as a prismatic body with a polygonal basic area, a polygon of the basic area having a base and an angle to the base which amounts to between 30° and 60°, and a multiplicity of prismatic bodies are joined together, a functional orientation of the joining layers being formed at meeting legs, in such a way that the joining layer runs at an angle of 30°-60° to a base area of the prisms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method comprising: producing a composite structural part for a wind power plant, wherein the composite structural part includes a plurality of at least two component composite moldings, a first component being formed from a shaping core material and a second component being formed as part of a joining layer, wherein: the shaping core material is formed, in conformity with the shape of a prism, as a prismatic body with a polygonal basic area having a base and a side, wherein an angle between the side and the base is between 30° and 60°, and a plurality of the prismatic bodies are joined together, a functional orientation of the joining layers being formed at meeting surfaces, in such a way that the joining layer extends at an angle of between 30° and 60° to a base area of at least one of the prisms adjoining one another. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the angle to the base of the polygon lies at 45° within a variance of +/−10°. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a functional orientation of the joining layers is formed and extends at an angle of 45°, within a variance of +/−10° to the base area of the prisms. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shaping core material is formed, in conformity with the shape of a cylindrical body, with a polygonal basic area. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is formed in the shape of a mat, the mat being introduced between a first and a second prismatic body and being connected to the shaping core of the prismatic bodies. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component has a covering of the shaping core material, and has a functional orientation of fibers with an angle of 30°-60° to one another. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shaping core material is made available by extrusion. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shaping core material is joined into a prismatic body in the form of a three-dimensional polyhedron, the angle of the polyhedron faces amounting to 30°-60°. 9 . A composite structural part for a wind power plant, the composite structural part comprising: a plurality of at least two-component composite moldings, a first component being formed from a shaping core material and a second component being formed as part of a joining layer, wherein: the shaping core material is formed, in conformity with the shape of a prism, as a prismatic body with a polygonal basic area, a polygon of the basic area having a base and an angle to the base that is between 30° and 60°, and a plurality of prismatic bodies are joined together, a functional orientation of the joining layers being formed at joining surfaces, in such a way that the joining layer runs at an angle of 30°-60° to a base area of at least one of the prisms adjoining one another. 10 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the second component, as a covering of the shaping core material, has a functional orientation of fibers with an angle of 30°-60° to one another. 11 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 wherein: at least one of the shaping core material and the functional orientation of the joining layers forms a sheet-like cross-sectional pattern of hexagons, and joining surfaces are joined together in a sheet-like manner, of the functional orientation of the joining layers run at an angle of 30°-60° within a variance of +/−10° to a base area of the prisms, the base area being oriented parallel to the base of a hexagon. 12 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the shaping core material contains at least one component of the group: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polyamides, polyacetate, polymethylmethacrylate, polycarbonate, polyethyleneterephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyetherketone and polyvinylchloride. 13 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the composite structural part is joined together via the second component, by a thermoplastic matrix including a plurality of prismatic bodies, into a deformable structural part having comparatively increased shear resistance. 14 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the shaping core material is reinforced by additional internal, functionally directed fibers. 15 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the composite structural part is in the form of a sandwich structural part for a wind power plant, using a multiplicity of composite moldings to form a core structural part, wherein the core structural part is covered at least on one side by at least one covering layer. 16 . The composite structural part according to claim 9 , wherein the composite structural part is in the form of a rotor blade element for a rotor blade of a wind power plant, using a multiplicity of composite moldings to form a core structural part, wherein the core structural part is surrounded by at least one rotor blade covering layer. 17 . A wind power plant comprising: a tower, a gondola, and a rotor with a rotor hub and a number of rotor blades, wherein at least one of the rotor blades, the tower, the gondola, the rotor hub has a composite structural part according to claim 1 . 18 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the angle of the polyhedron faces is 45°, within a variance of +/−10°. 19 . A method comprising: producing a composite structural part for a wind power plant, the composite structural part including at least two component composite moldings and a joining layer, the component composite moldings being formed from a shaping core material, wherein: the shaping core material is shaped as a prismatic body with a polygonal basic area having a base and a side, wherein an angle between the side and the base is between 30° and 60°, and the joining layers having joining surfaces at an angle of between 30° and 60° to a base area of at least one of the prisms adjoining one another.
