Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A contribution is made to the assembly of a wind turbine intended to comprise, in a final assembly condition, a tower ( 2 ) surmounted by a nacelle ( 4 ) cooperating with a rotor ( 5 ) receiving a plurality of blades ( 3 a - 3 c ). To this end, a temporary association is made between at least some blades from said plurality of blades and the tower, so that said blades extend substantially in the longitudinal direction of the tower.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for contributing to the assembly of a wind turbine comprising, in a final assembly condition, a tower surmounted by a nacelle cooperating with a rotor receiving a plurality of blades, the system comprising: a support structure arranged for temporarily associating with the tower at least some blades from said plurality of blades, so that said blades are fixed temporarily onto said support structure placed securely around the tower and extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the tower, said support structure being further arranged for allowing, when the nacelle surmounts the tower, a relative movement of the nacelle and at least one of the blades fixed onto the support structure, substantially about a longitudinal axis of the tower, so that said blade is positioned close to the rotor, wherein the support structure is rotatably mounted in a horizontal plane around the tower, and wherein the support structure comprises a track formed by a double ring, said double ring being arranged to retain each blade by an end of said blade intended to be received by the rotor. 2. A support structure for contributing to the assembly of a wind turbine comprising, in a final assembly condition, a tower surmounted by a nacelle cooperating with a rotor receiving a plurality of blades, the support structure being arranged for being placed securely around the tower and for fixing temporarily at least some of the blades from said plurality of blades onto their end intended to be received by the rotor, so that said blades extend substantially in the longitudinal direction of the tower, the support structure being configured to be rotatably mounted in a horizontal plane around the tower, wherein the support structure comprises a track formed by a double ring, said double ring being arranged to retain each blade by an end of said blade intended to be received by the rotor.
