Abstract

Temporary enclosure ( 1 ) for at least a part of a rotor blade connected to a wind power plant having a tower and a rotor top part, the enclosure ( 1 ) having a framework ( 2 ); one or more walls ( 3 ); a roof ( 4 ); said roof extends from said wall towards said blade; said framework ( 2 ) stretching said walls ( 3 ) said that a volume is enclosed below the roof ( 4 ) wherein said framework ( 2 ) includes one or more frame parts ( 5 ), a connection ( 6 ) for connection of the one or more frame parts ( 5 ) and an activation means ( 7 ) for activation a change in the framework ( 2 ) whereby the volume enclosed by the enclosure ( 1 ) change.

Claims (32)

1 . A temporary enclosure for at least a part of a rotor blade connected to a wind power plant having a tower and a rotor top part, the enclosure comprising;

a framework;

one or more walls directly attached to said framework; and

a roof;

wherein said roof is directly attached to said framework and extends from said framework towards said blade,

wherein said walls stretch about said framework and define a volume enclosed below the roof, and

wherein said framework comprises one or more frame parts, a connection configured to connect the one or more frame parts and one or more activation means for activating a change in the framework whereby the volume enclosed by said walls changes.

2 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one frame part has a telescopic form.

3 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the framework comprises at least two frame parts.

4 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one connection is a pivotable connection.

5 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the framework comprises at least four frame parts.

6 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the framework comprises at least four frame parts and wherein at least four of the frame parts have a telescopic form in order to change both the length and the width of the framework.

7 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the framework comprises at least one frame part that can be divided into two sub-frame parts and the sub-frame parts can be moved away from each other and the framework can be opened.

8 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the connections of frame parts can be disconnected, and the framework can be opened.

9 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the activations means is an actuator.

10 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one wall is movable.

11 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises more than one wall and that each wall has its own frame part.

12 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises a platform.

13 . The temporary enclosure according to 12 , wherein the platform is connected to the framework.

14 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 12 , wherein the platform and the framework share activation means.

15 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the one or more activation means are controlled by a common controller.

16 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 2 , wherein the framework comprises at least two frame parts.

17 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 2 , wherein at least one connection is a pivotable connection.

18 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 3 , wherein at least one connection is a pivotable connection.

19 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the walls are attached to said framework at a bottom frame part and at an upper frame part.

20 . A temporary enclosure for at least a part of a rotor blade connected to a wind power plant having a tower and a rotor top part, the enclosure comprising;

a framework having bottom frame parts and top frame parts;

one or more walls attached to said top frame parts of the framework and extending from said top frame parts toward said bottom frame parts; and

a roof extending from said top frame parts of the framework towards said blade,

wherein said walls extend about said framework and define a volume enclosed below the roof, and

wherein said framework further comprises a connection configured to connect the one or more frame parts and one or one or more activation means for activating a change in the framework whereby the volume enclosed by said walls changes.

21 . The temporary enclosure according to claim 20 , wherein at least one of said walls is attached to said framework at said bottom frame part.
