Rotor blade segments fastened together via internal support structures defining a variable-sized gap therebetween

Applicants

Abstract

A rotor blade for a wind turbine includes first and second blade segments extending in opposite directions from a chordwise joint. Each of the first and second blade segments includes an inner support structure and one or more shell members. The inner support structure of the first blade segment comprises a beam structure extending between a receiving end and a second end. The inner support structure of the second blade segment comprises a receiving section receiving the receiving end of the beam structure of the first blade segment. The rotor blade further includes one or more connection locations where the first blade segment and the second blade segment are fastened together. Furthermore, when the beam structure is received within the receiving section, a gap comprising a varying thickness is defined and maintained between the beam structure and the receiving section in a spanwise direction of the rotor blade.
