Protective cap for a rotor blade |
摘要 |
A protective cap for a trailing edge of a rotor blade of a wind turbine for use during transportation, handling, or maintenance of the rotor blade is disclosed. The protective cap includes a body having a first leg, a second leg, and a cap member. The cap member connects the first and second legs. Further, the cap member may be configured to cover at least a portion of a trailing edge of the rotor blade and may be configured to provide a gap between an inner surface of the protective cap and the trailing edge. In addition, the first and second legs may resiliently engage the rotor blade. |

1. A protective cap for a trailing edge of a rotor blade of a wind turbine for use during transportation, handling, or maintenance of the rotor blade, said protective cap comprising:
a body having a first leg and a second leg connected by a cap member, wherein said cap member is integral with said first and second legs, said cap member configured to cover at least a portion of the trailing edge of the rotor blade when said protective cap is installed on the rotor blade, wherein said first leg is configured to resiliently engage a suction side of the rotor blade and said second leg is configured to resiliently engage a pressure side of the rotor blade such that the protective cap effectively holds itself on the rotor blade when installed. |
