Patent number: 11858227Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell part is described. Fibre mats and a root end insert are laid up in a mould part in a layup procedure by use of an automated layup system. The fibre mats are laid up by use of a buffer so that the fibre mats may continuously be laid up on the mould surface, also during a cutting procedure. The root end insert is prepared in advance and mounted on a mounting plate. The root end insert is lowered onto the mould by use of the mounting plate and a lowering mechanism. After the wind turbine blade shell has been moulded, the mounting plate is removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Dennis Andre Borsting, Ivan Engmark Mortensen, Lars Fuglsang, Per Kjaer Christiansen

Patent number: 7813598Abstract: The present invention relates to a device comprising a fiber-reinforced part and including at least one system comprising at least one optical fiber as well as connecting means adapted for connection of light emitting means and light receiving means to the optical fiber, said optical fiber comprising a number of reflecting structures. One object of the invention is to provide means suitable for use in providing compensation for temperature change in strain measurement, which may be built into fiber-reinforced parts of a device. This is obtained by having holding means adapted to hold one or more loops formed on the optical fibre, in a way where at least one loop may substantially freely change length when subject to a change in temperature.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: LM Glasfiber A/SInventors: Ivan Engmark Mortensen, Tage Svendsen, Andrew Munro Gallon

Patent number: 7726942Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector box adapted to be at least partly embedded in a fiber-reinforced part of a wind turbine, where said connector box comprises a flexible base part and a sealing part. The sealing part seals off and protects at least one compartment between the sealing part and the base part during manufacture of said fiber-reinforced part, but can be partly removed after manufacture making said compartment accessible. The base part is adapted to fasten the connector box in the fiber-reinforced part by having a larger circumference near its bottom than near its top. Further, the invention relates to such a connector box fixating a part of an element in the compartment of the box and making a second part of the element accessible from the compartment after manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2005Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: LM Glasfiber A/SInventors: Ivan Engmark Mortensen, Lars Erik Jensen
