Endoscope technology plays an important role in equipment inspection, maintenance and fault diagnosis in the wind power industry due to its high efficiency and non-destructive characteristics. The following are specific solutions for the application of endoscopes in the wind power industry:
Endoscopes can be used for non-destructive inspection of blades. By installing the endoscope device on the surface of the blade or entering the inside of the blade, the structure, surface condition and whether there are cracks or other damage to the blade can be observed in real time. This method can avoid the high cost of blade disassembly and improve inspection efficiency.
An endoscope can be inserted through the inspection hole of the tower to conduct a quick and convenient internal inspection to detect corrosion, cracks and other problems, avoiding the high risk of manual tower climbing. The endoscope can also help detect the status of the tower's welding parts, connection points and other key parts.
The endoscope can enter the gearbox and generator for non-destructive testing to detect gear wear, oil circuit status, oil contamination and other problems. Through real-time monitoring, potential failure points can be discovered in time, preventive maintenance can be carried out, and equipment failure rate and maintenance costs can be reduced.
Endoscopes can be used as regular inspection tools to help wind power companies quickly and efficiently complete unit inspections, identify potential equipment problems in a timely manner, take maintenance measures in advance, reduce unnecessary downtime, and extend equipment life.
