  • Patent number: 11480148
    Abstract: A rotor blade for a wind turbine, to a rotor for a wind turbine, to a wind turbine, to a method for producing a rotor blade, to a method for connecting a rotor blade to a rotor hub and to a method for repairing a rotor of a wind turbine. The rotor blade has a connection interface, the connection interface having at least one cutout for receiving a tension element for connecting the rotor blade to a further element of a wind turbine, an outer circumferential surface of the cutout being formed of a connection material and having an internal thread.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022

  • Patent number: 9581529
    Abstract: The invention relates to a test piece for determining a specific material property of a fiber-reinforced plastic composite under applied mechanical loading. According to the invention, it is provided that an inner core is incorporated in a composite with the fiber-reinforced plastic, the inner core being widened in a transverse axis in relation to the mechanical load in such a way that the composite with the inner core has a greater buckling stability than a comparative body, such as the composite without the inner core, and that the inner core is formed in such a way that an influence on the specific material property to be determined of the fiber-reinforced plastic composite lies in a range of acceptance.

  • Patent number: 9498923
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating a fiber-plastic composite of a rotor blade, comprising the steps of: providing the fiber-plastic composite to be treated at the rotor blade; preparing a local working area of the fiber-plastic composite; providing a fiber-matrix composite comprising a UV-curable matrix material and a fiber material; applying the fiber-matrix composite onto the local working area of the fiber-plastic composite; and curing the matrix material. The invention provides for the curing of the matrix material to take place with the help of UV radiation.
