METHOD OF INTRODUCING A ROTOR BLADE SPAR CAP INTO A ROTOR BLADE SHELL, A SPAR CAP MOLD, A ROTOR BLADE, AND A WIND ENERGY INSTALLATION
A method of introducing a rotor blade spar cap into a rotor blade shell for a rotor blade of a wind energy installation, a spar cap mold for manufacturing a rotor blade spar cap, a rotor blade comprising such a spar cap, and a wind energy installation including such a rotor blade. At least two strip-shaped spar cap elements are arranged on at least one substantially flat spar cap forming surface of the spar cap mold. The at least one spar cap forming surface extends along a longitudinal direction of the spar cap mold which corresponds to a longitudinal axis of the rotor blade. The spar cap elements are arranged on the at least one spar cap forming surface along the longitudinal direction and are connected to one another so as to form the rotor blade spar cap. The spar cap elements connected to one another are removed from the spar cap mold, are introduced into the rotor blade shell, and are connected to the rotor blade shell.
1 . A method of introducing a rotor blade spar cap into a rotor blade shell ( 4 ) for a rotor blade of a wind energy installation, which rotor blade has a rotor blade longitudinal axis which extends from a rotor blade root to a rotor blade tip, wherein
at least two strip-shaped spar cap elements ( 3 ) are arranged on at least one substantially flat spar cap forming surface ( 2 ) of a spar cap mold ( 1 ), wherein the at least one spar cap forming surface ( 2 ) extends along a longitudinal direction of the spar cap mold ( 1 ) which corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the rotor blade,
the spar cap elements ( 3 ) which are arranged on the at least one spar cap forming surface ( 2 ) are connected to one another so as to form a rotor blade spar cap, and
the spar cap elements ( 3 ) connected to one another are removed from the spar cap mold ( 1 ), are introduced into the rotor blade shell ( 4 ), and are connected to the rotor blade shell ( 4 ).
