MOULD ASSEMBLY WITH CLOSURE MECHANISM

摘要

A mould assembly includes a first mould part ( 2 ) and a second mould part ( 4 ) for moulding a wind turbine blade of fibre-reinforced polymer. The assembly has a hinge mechanism ( 6 ) with a hinge line ( 7 ) extending parallel to the two mould parts in the longitudinal direction of the mould to allow turning of the mould parts in relation to each other between an open position and a closed position. It also has a displacement mechanism for a rectilinear translational movement of the second mould part ( 4 ) between a partially closed position and a completely closed position. The displacement mechanism has guide rods ( 8 ) including drives for displacing them and thus for moving the two mould parts between the partially closed and completely closed positions.
