    TECHNICAL FIELD
    The present invention relates to a system for transporting, storing and handling wind turbine blades. Background
    Often, transporting wind turbine blades from the production facility to the wind turbine site or the wind turbine power plant requires many transport steps. Typically, the blades are transported by truck, train or ship and again by truck to the site of the wind power plant. Additionally, recharging between different types of transport is necessary. Finally, the blades are stored at the production facility and at the site of the wind turbine power plant.
    Different types of transport and / or storage systems for wind turbine blades are known from WO 2007/093854, US 2007/253829, WO 2002/04321, WO 2006/061806, US 2007/177954, US 2004/0217037, WO 2006 / 000230 and EP 1849719. US 2009/0274529 discloses a conveyor system for long blades comprising a root support frame and an intermediate support frame. The intermediate support frame consists of an upper frame and a lower frame. The lower frame has an auxiliary element at its base including a spherical joint through which a fastener that opens and closes adapted to receive the intermediate portion of the blade in a space for receiving it is coupled. The fastener, which is coupled to the auxiliary element by means of the spherical joint, is donated from a part of the spherical joint that does not allow it to support vertical on a horizontal surface. Thus, it is not possible to support the middle portion of the blade only through the fastener. CN 101648539 discloses a transport system for a wind turbine blade comprising a root support frame and an intermediate support frame. The intermediate support frame comprises support parts being adapted to encircle and support the intermediate portion of the blade. The support parts are provided with positioning means and stacked on a base plate. In addition, the support parts are held together by means of rails or bars that are transverse and laterally extended. In the space defined by the base plate, no means of positioning appears to be provided to position the support parts in the space above. The intermediate support frame supports the blade at a point in the inner 50% of the blade length.
    EP 2239459 discloses a transport system for wind turbine blades comprising a root frame structure for supporting the root end and a fixing device for securing and sustaining the blade between the root end and the tip end of the blade. The clamping device comprises a clamping means that can be received in the clamping device. The fixing devices can be stacked on top of each other. In addition, the root frame structures can be placed in a main frame structure. Correspondingly, the fixing devices can be placed on a base frame structure. The fixing means does not have a bottom surface that allows it to support vertically on a horizontal surface. Revelation of the invention
    An object of the present invention is to provide an improved or alternative system for transporting, storing and handling wind turbine blades.
    An additional object of the invention is to provide a system that allows wind turbine blades to be handled, stored and transported according to their need.
    The above and additional objectives of the invention are achieved by a transport and storage system for a wind turbine rotor blade having a longitudinal geometric axis and comprising a root end, a root region, a tipped airfoil region, a pressure side and suction side, wherein the system comprises a tip end frame assembly comprising a tip end receptacle and a tip end frame.
    The tip end receptacle comprises:
    A tip end receiving space opened upwards to receive a tip end portion of the blade, that is, a point of the outer 50% of the blade, and having a support surface to support the blade,
    A bottom base part that defines a bottom surface allowing the tip end receptacle to stand upright on a substantially horizontal surface, such as earth, and releasable retaining means to reliably retain the tip end of the paddle in the receptacle receiving space edge tip.
    The tip end frame comprises a receptacle receiving space open upwards to receive the tip end of the tip end receptacle provided with positioning means for positioning the tip end receptacle in the tip end frame;
    A first side frame part and a second side frame part being laterally separated and being mutually connected by means of transversely extended and interspersed transverse frame parts being opened upwards so as not to interfere with a paddle arranged in an end receptacle tip received in the receiving space of the tip end frame receptacle, and
    A base part that defines a bottom surface that allows the tip end frame to support vertically on a substantially horizontal surface, such as the earth.
    The term "tip end" is to be understood as a point of the outer 50% of the blade length as seen from the root end. However, in most cases, the tip end receptacle is arranged at a point on the outer 30% of the blade length.
    Since the tip tip frame assembly comprises a tip tip receptacle and a tip tip frame, it is possible to store and transport a paddle using only the tip tip receptacle or by the tip tip receptacle being received in the tip end frame. In this way, the blade can be stored in the production facility and in the wind turbine power plant merely through the tip end receptacle, thereby facilitating the manipulation of the blade, since the tip end frame is more bulky and heavier than the tip end receptacle. Correspondingly, the paddle can be transported on the platform of a truck merely using the tip end receptacle. On the other hand, the blade can be transported using both the tip end receptacle and the tip end frame when transported by train or ship.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the support surface of the tip end receptacle can be shaped so as to at least partially conform to a surface contour of the blade to thereby distribute the load on the blade over a relatively large area.
    According to a further embodiment of the invention, the support surface of the tip end receptacle can be shaped to support a portion of the leading edge or rear edge and an adjacent portion on the suction side and / or an adjacent portion on the suction side pressure gauge. As wind turbine blades are generally more rigid in the direction of the edge, that is, the direction between the forward and rear edge than in the direction of the flap, that is, the direction perpendicular to the edge direction, it is advantageous for the blade to support at least partially at the rear or forward edge. In other words, it is advantageous that the support surface of the tip end receptacle is shaped so that the edge direction of the blade forms an angle between 5-40 ° with the vertical, alternatively between 10-30 ° with the vertical.
    According to a further embodiment of the invention, the support surface of the tip end receptacle can be made of a material to prevent scratching of the blade surface. The non-scratch support surface can be formed of a wooden material, a rubber material, a textile material or a polymer material, for example, a foamed polymer, such as foamed polyurethane.
    It should be further noted that the support surface of the tip end receptacle can be made of a flexible material being able to at least partially adapt to the surface of the blade.
    In a further embodiment of the invention, the tip end receptacle may have a rectangular contour with a pair of opposing side faces and a pair of transverse faces extending transversely opposed. In this way, at least lower portions of the lateral and transverse faces of the tip-end receptacle form positioning means adapted to interact with the positioning means of the receptacle receiving space of the tip-end frame in order to position the receptacle in the frame edge tip. In this regard, it should be noted that the receiving space of the tip end frame receptacle can advantageously be defined by elements that define a shape corresponding to the rectangular contour of the tip end receptacle.
    According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the tip end receptacle may comprise a rigid box-like structure, opened upwards, in which a block of material is accommodated, the block forming the tip end support surface of the endpoint receiving space. It is preferred that the block support extends above or beyond the upper edges of the box-shaped structure to keep the surface of the paddle received in the receiving space away from the edges.
    The block can be a non-scratch material block, such as a rubber material block, a wooden material or a polymer material, for example, a foamed polymer material, such as foamed polyurethane.
    The block can be removably received in the structure in a box format. As a result, it is possible to use the box-like structure for blocks having a support surface of different shapes, the shapes being adapted for different blades.
    According to an additional embodiment, the tip end frame may comprise lower stacking means at the base part of the same and upper stacking means at the top of the same, the lower stacking means being arranged so as to be connected with a top stacking means by means of locking means to allow stacking of a first tip end frame on top of a second tip end frame, the bottom stacking means defining at least a portion of the bottom surface of the end tip frame tip. The ability to stack the tip end frames, and thus blades received, is especially useful when transporting by ship or train. However, stacking can also be useful in the production facility in the event of a lack of space.
    According to one embodiment, the upper and lower stacking means can be corners of standard containers being interspersed by a distance that corresponds to a standard used in container transport and / or handling. In this way, it is possible to connect the tip end frame to standard connection devices on board ships and trains used for container transport.
    The stacking means, as a standard container corner, can preferably be adapted to be interlocked by means of torsion locks or other types of locks being used in container transport.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the retaining means can be a strip device comprising one or more strips and extending above the blade between side portions of the tip end receptacle. Using one or more strips, the paddle can be pressed firmly against the support surface and securely retained in the tip end receptacle.
    According to one embodiment, the strip device may comprise at least one contact element preferably having a surface of a non-scratch material and being adapted to be in contact with the blade opposite the blade support surface of the receiving space of the tip end receptacle.
    The strip device may also comprise a U-shaped element having two legs and being adapted to extend around the rear or forward edge of the blade, each leg being provided with a contact element preferably provided with a surface of a non-stick material. scratch and adapted to be in contact with the pressure side and the suction side of the blade opposite the support surface of the receiving space of the tip end receptacle.
    In addition, the strip device may comprise a contact element having a surface contour substantially following the surface contour of the rear or forward edge thereof.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the tip end frame may comprise connecting means for releasably connecting the tip end receptacle with the tip end frame.
    The connection means can comprise at least one strip connecting the tip end receptacle with the tip end frame.
    To save weight, the side frame parts of the tip end frame can be formed as a bar truss work.
    Correspondingly, the transverse frame parts of the tip end frame can be formed as a bar lattice work, the bars can form triangular spaces between them to provide transverse stiffening of the tip end frame.
    According to a further embodiment of the invention, the transverse frame parts of the tip-end frame can be longitudinally interspersed so that the surfaces facing inwardly provide longitudinal positioning means for the tip-end receptacle and the parts of Transverse frames can be interconnected by means of connection means, such as interleaved and preferably parallel bars forming a support for the bottom surface of the tip-end receptacle and by means of interleaved bars with inward facing surfaces providing lateral positioning means for the receptacle edge tip. The connection means that forms a support for the tip can also be a plate connected between the transverse frame parts.
    The above embodiment is particularly advantageous when the tip end receptacle has a rectangular contour as mentioned above.
    The tip end frame may comprise a removable and fixable top bar adapted to extend between upper portions of the side frame parts to provide additional lateral stiffness to the tip end frame.
    According to a further embodiment of the invention, the system may further comprise a root frame assembly comprising a root end device and a root end frame.
    The root end device is adapted to be temporarily received in the root end frame and comprises
    Longitudinal positioning means for longitudinally positioning the root end device in relation to the root end,
    A releasable connection means for releasably connecting the root end device to the root end of the blade, and
    A lower surface that allows the root end device to rest on a substantially horizontal surface, such as the earth.
    The root end frame comprises positioning means for positioning the root end device in relation to the root end frame, and
    A lower base part defining a lower surface that allows the root end frame to rest on a substantially horizontal surface, such as the earth.
    The root end frame may further comprise fixing means for securing and locking the root end device to the root end frame.
    The longitudinal positioning means of the root end device may comprise at least one plate having at least two direct openings adapted to receive connection elements adapted to be connected with connecting elements matched at the root end, such as pegs adapted to be connected with threaded bushings at the root end.
    According to an embodiment of the invention, the root end frame may comprise a root end device receiving space opened upwards to receive a lower portion of the root end device, the receiving space being defined by surfaces mutually Facing cross-sectional side portions of the frame and mutually facing surfaces Facing side parts of the longitudinally interspersed frame, the mutually facing surfaces of the cross-sectional and longitudinally interspersed frame parts, respectively, forming the means of positioning the root end frame cooperating with the surfaces corresponding external ends of the root end device to position the root end device in relation to the root end frame. In this way, it is possible to lower the root end device into the root end device receiving space and position the root end device on the root end frame.
    In addition, according to an embodiment of the invention, the root end frame may comprise lower stacking means on the lower surface of the same and upper stacking means on a top of the same, the lower stacking means arranged to be connected with the upper stacking means to allow stacking of a first root frame on top of a second root frame, the lower stacking means defining at least a portion of the lower surface of the root end frame, allowing the end frame of root rest on a substantially horizontal surface, such as the earth. Permission to stack root end frames and thus blades received on them is - as indicated above - advantageous when transporting by ship or train or in the case of limited storage space at the production facility.
    Advantageously, the bottom and top stacking means of the root end frame can be standard container corners being interspersed by a distance corresponding to a pattern used in the transport and / or handling of containers.
    In addition, the stacking means, such as standard container corners, of the root end frame can be advantageously adapted to be interlocked by means of locking means, such as torsion locks or other types of locks used in relation to containers.

Four bars 57-60 extend upwardly from the bottom 55 of the root end device. The upper ends of the bars 57-60 are arranged in a common plane forming a longitudinal positioning means for positioning the root end device in relation to the root end 3 of the blade 1 in the longitudinal direction.
    At their upper ends, each of the bars 57-60 is provided with a straight, oblong hole 61. Hole 61 is arranged in a circle corresponding to the circle of connecting elements at the root end of the blade used to connect the blade to the hub of a wind turbine. In the present example, the straight hole 61 is adapted to receive dowels 63 adapted to be connected to threaded bushings at the root end. The pins 63 are used here to connect the root end device 53 to the root end 3 of the paddle 1. The contour of the bottom 55 of the root end device 53 is essentially rectangular.
