Definitions
- the invention relates to a wind turbine rotor blade having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a blade root, a blade tip, a shell defining an aerodynamic shape of the rotor blade, and an erosion protection assembly having a leading edge protector extending along the leading edge secured to the shell of the rotor blade ,
- the efficiency of a wind energy plant is decisively influenced by the surface condition and the geometry of the rotor blades.
- the rotor blades are exposed to extreme stresses due to rain, dust and hail on the one hand and due to the dynamic stress during operation and the occurring loads due to (sea) salt, temperature changes and UV radiation.
- the rotor blades are subject to very high load cycles with relatively high strain levels. This leads to additional material fatigue of the surface texture. In particular, crack formation and material erosion in the area of the surfaces of the rotor blades lead to aerodynamically disadvantageous changes.
- the rotor blades of wind turbines are heavily loaded during operation, in particular in the region of a front edge which is streamed during rotation and in the region of the blade tip rotating at high speed.
- a material removal can also be observed in the region of a trailing edge of the rotor blades opposite the leading edge.
- the erosion wear with its abrasive effect affects in particular the aerodynamics of the wind turbine and its efficiency negative. This increases the maintenance and repair costs.
- the elongated profile body is designed as Galvanoformteil in one piece or in one piece. It has a hardness of 608 HV or more. To realize this hardness of the profile body is made of an alloy with cobalt and phosphorus. However, the profile body has not been widely used in practice so far.
- the lightning protection is usually realized today by distributed over the surface of the rotor blade a plurality of receptors is provided which are contacted with a provided inside the rotor blade electrical conductor and connected in the blade root with an electrically conductive grounded lightning rod are.

- a presently realized by a countersunk screw connecting element 22 is provided for realizing the electrically conductive connection, which is guided by the blade tip guard 11, the adhesive layer 16 and the shell 12 of the rotor blade 3 into the cavity 30.
- the electrical conductor 27 is then connected via a contact ring 25 with the connecting element 22.
- the connection is made by means of a washer 24 provided between the shell 12 and the contact ring 25 and a nut 26 assigned to the contact ring 25 on a side opposite the washer 24 and secured to a threaded portion 23 of the connecting element 22.
- the electrical conductor 27 is guided in the region of the cavity 30 to the blade root 4 and contacted there in a conventional manner electrically.
- the attachment point 21 is realized in the area of the blade tip guard 5. It may in principle be provided to realize the attachment point 21 in the region of the leading edge protection 7 or of the trailing edge protection 10 or to provide a plurality of attachment points 21 distributed over the erosion protection arrangement, wherein the plurality of attachment points 21 each one guided by the erosion protection arrangement to the cavity 30 connecting element Provide 22 which is electrically connected to the conductor 27.
- a plurality of attachment points 21 is provided, which are connected to separate electrical conductors 27, wherein the plurality of electrical conductors 27 are each guided in the cavity 30 to the blade root 4 and contacted there.
- FIG. 10 shows a sectional representation through a first protection segment 14 and an adjacent, second protection segment 15. Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 7, the second protection segment 15 has a covering section 20 which covers a section 34 of the first protection segment 14 to be covered and attached to this. Along an edge 35 of the overlapping section 20, the first protective segment 14 has a protrusion 33, which points outwards from the shell 12 indicated only by the reference numeral 10 in FIG. Between the protrusion 33 and the edge 35, an elastic sealant 36 is arranged.
- FIG. 11 shows a lightning receptor 31 which forms the blade tip 5 of the rotor blade 3 (not shown in FIG. 11). It consists of metal and has a fastening portion 37 for attachment to the shell 12 of the rotor blade 3. Adjacent to the lightning receptor 31 is a front edge protector 7, the blade tip-side protective segment 38 of which is received in a recess 32 (see FIG. 12) so that the outside of the front edge protector 7 is flush with the outside of the lightning receptor 31. A threaded connection 39 establishes an electrical connection between the lightning receptor 31 and the protection segment 38.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une pale de rotor d'éolienne comportant un bord d'attaque, un bord de fuite, une emplanture de pale, une extrémité de pale, une coquille qui détermine une forme aérodynamique de la pale de rotor, et un système de protection contre l'érosion qui comporte un élément de protection de bord d'attaque qui s'étend le long du bord d'attaque et qui est fixé sur la coquille. Cette invention est caractérisée en ce que l'élément de protection de bord d'attaque comporte plusieurs pièces et présente une pluralité de segments de protection individuels disposés de manière adjacente le long du bord d'attaque.
