mold, and methods for assembling a mold for shaping a wind turbine blade or an elongated structural part thereof and for shaping a wind turbine blade or an elongated structural part thereof.

摘要

a mold (2) for shaping a wind turbine blade or an elongated structural part thereof, the mold (2) comprising a plurality of longitudinal elongate mold sections (4,6,8) adapted to be joined together in a ratio of end to end to form a unitary mold (2), each mold section having a central mold portion (8) between opposite end portions, each mold section being composed of at least one fiber reinforced resin matrix composite material an end portion of each mold section forming an integral flange (76) oriented substantially orthogonally downwardly to an upper surface of the mold section, and the upper surface including molding surface (18,20,22) and a recess (82) located between the flange (76) and the molding surface, the recess (82) extending across a transverse width of the mold section whereby when the flanges (76) of s adjacent mold are fitted together in an abutment relationship, the adjacent recesses form a combined recess separating the adjacent molding surfaces of mold sections.
