    Abstract: A modular blade connection structure includes a first module, a second module and a structural adhesive module. The first module is provided on an end face thereof with a bonding flange extending into the second module; a gap between the butting surfaces of the first module and the second module is injected with a structural adhesive, which is extruded and cured to form a structural adhesive module; and the thickness of the first module at the starting end of the bonding flange extends towards the inner surface to form a first reinforcement, and the structural adhesive module extends inside the second module in a direction away from the bonding flange to form a second reinforcement. The present disclosure facilitates the control the bonding quality of the double-sided overlapping of the modular blade by means of the bonding flange and the improvement of the fatigue resistance at the assembling position.

    Abstract: A spanwise segment connection structure for wind turbine blades includes a first segment and a second segment provided along the length direction of the wind turbine blade. At least one splicing surface is provided between the first and second segments; and a structural adhesive layer provided at the splicing surface for splicing and fixing the first and second segments; wherein the bonding length of the structural adhesive layer conforms to the inclination angle of the slope structure, and a biaxial fabric reinforcement layer is provided on the outer side of a skin interface of the splicing surface. The weight of the blade is reduced and the production cost is reduced through the bonding and fixing of the first and second segments. The splicing surface in form of the slope structure increases the bonding area and reduces the stress concentration on the splicing surface of the first and second segments.

    Abstract: A segmented blade module structure and a molding method thereof are disclosed. The blade module includes a blade shell, a beam and a web provided in the blade shell, and the beam comprises a connecting beam, a trailing edge beam and an auxiliary beam plate, and a connecting structure is provided at an end of the connecting beam. The beam and the web integrally formed of composite materials constitute a bearing frame that forms a contour shape conforming to the blade, and the blade shell is formed by a skin wrapped on the bearing frame. The auxiliary beam plate is arranged corresponding to the area from the middle portion to the trailing edge portion of the blade shell to ensure that there is sufficient contact area between the beam and the blade shell to avoid instability of the blade shell, ensuring the structural stability of the segmented blade module.
