Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a device for mounting and/or dismantling a component ( 10 ), in particular a rotor blade of a wind turbine ( 20 ) comprising a tower head ( 21 ). Said device comprises at least one guide element ( 30 ) that stretches between the tower head ( 21 ) and the ground ( 40 ) and has at least one supporting device ( 60 ) that is essentially fixed in the air, supporting at least a partial load of the weight of the component ( 10 ) during the transport of the latter ( 10 ) between the ground ( 40 ) and the wind turbine ( 20 ). At least one guy ( 70 ) leads from the supporting device ( 60 ) to the component ( 10 ), whereby the length of said guy between the supporting device ( 60 ) and the component ( 10 ) can be modified.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for mounting and/or dismantling a component having a root area and a tip area of a wind turbine having a tower head, the apparatus comprises at least one guide means tensioned between the tower head and the ground, on which guide means at least one holding apparatus is arranged that holds at least a partial load of the weight of the component during a transport of the component between the ground and the wind turbine, and wherein a loading…
