Patent number: 10590910Abstract: A wind turbine blade, comprising: a shell with an aerodynamic profile with at least one reinforcing rod having a largest cross section between the first and the second end of the rod and extending in the internal space with its longitudinal direction between the suction side and the pressure side. The shell has a first through hole having a smallest cross section being larger than the largest cross section of the rod. The rod has a first head having a cross section larger than the smallest cross section of the first through hole and is attached to the outer surface of the shell and where the second end of the rod is attached to a second through hole in the shell by a screw having a second head resting against the outer surface of the shell, and a shank extending through the second through hole in the shell.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: BLADENA ApSInventor: Find Mølholt Jensen

Patent number: 10273934Abstract: A wind turbine blade comprising a shell and at least a first girder wherein the first girder is connected to an upper part of the shell and a lower part of the shell, and where the wind turbine blade comprises at least one reinforcing member having a first end and a second opposite end. The reinforcing member comprises a first part with the first end and a second part with the second opposite end and that a length adjustment member is arranged between the first and the second part of the reinforcing member, and being adapted for mutually positioning and fixing the first and the second part in at least two different distances from each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: BLADENA ApSInventor: Find Mølholt Jensen

Patent number: 8632312Abstract: The invention introduces a reinforcement of a box girder of a wind turbine blade. The reinforcement prevents the transverse shear distortion of the blade structure, when the blade is loaded during operation. The reinforcement connects the corners diagonally opposite inside the girder, and fixes them in relation to each other. The reinforcement increases the blade's resistance to overall collapse. The reinforcement comprises one or more individual element, such as rods or plates.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Bladena APSInventors: Find Mølholt Jensen, Per Hørlyk Nielsen

Patent number: 8454318Abstract: The present invention relates to the prevention of deformations in an aerodynamic profile caused by lack of resistance to the bending moment forces that are created when such a profile is loaded in operation. More specifically, the invention relates to a reinforcing element inside an aerodynamic profile and a method for the construction thereof. The profile is intended for, but not limited to, use as a wind turbine blade, an aerofoil device or as a wing profile used in the aeronautical industry.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Bladena ApSInventor: Find Mølholt Jensen
