Patent ID: 8454791

Claim:
A method for assembling a rotor blade for a wind turbine, wherein the rotor blade has a first half shell ( 10 ), a second half shell ( 38 ), a leading edge, a trailing edge, a separation plane ( 14 ) running from the leading edge to the trailing edge and at least one shear web ( 32 ) running in a longitudinal direction of the rotor blade, comprising the following steps: arranging the first half shell ( 10 ) in a specified position, fastening the at least one shear web ( 32 ) on a shear web setting device ( 26 ), applying adhesive ( 24 ) in the connection area between the first half shell ( 10 ) and the at least one shear web ( 32 ), moving the shear web setting device ( 26 ) with the at least one shear web ( 32 ) fastened to it in the direction to the first half shell ( 10 ) to an end position, in which the adhesive ( 24 ) cures and interconnects the at least one shear web ( 32 ) and the first half shell ( 10 ), wherein at least one movement restriction device restricting the movement towards the first half shell ( 10 ) defines the end position with respect to the separation plane ( 14 ) such that the at least one shear web ( 32 ), instead of resting on the first half shell ( 10 ), is arranged floating along its entire length at a distance from the first half shell ( 10 ), and further wherein the at least one movement restriction device is designed as a stop on the shear web setting device ( 26 ) and works together with the shell edge of the first half shell ( 10 ) and/or with a reception device for the first half shell ( 10 ) holding the first half shell ( 10 ) in its determined position, loosening and removing the shear web setting device ( 26 ) from the at least one shear web ( 32 ), applying adhesive in the connection area between the second half shell ( 38 ) and the at least one shear web ( 32 ), and arranging the second half shell ( 38 ) in a specified position and connecting the first half shell ( 10 ) with the second half shell ( 38 ).
