Description of a preferred embodiment 2 o The present invention is related to a method and a device for replacing the blades of a wind turbine in maintenance or installation of wind farms. 25 The wind turbines consist of a tower (8) that lifts a gondola (14) on the ground that carries an electric generator connected to a rotor by mechanical means. 3 o The rotor is formed by a hub (15) that connects at least one blade (13) that is screwed to the hub (15) of the wind turbine through bearings (3) that have studs that are inserted into the root (7 ) of the shovel. 35 The blade replacement device (13) of the present invention consists of two elements (1, 2) that cooperate with each other to ensure the correct lifting / lowering of the wind turbine blade (13); an element "top" (1) (see figures 1A and 1 B) that is placed in the bearing (3) of the bushing (15) and at the root (7) of the blade (13), and a "ground" element (2) (see figure 2) which is arranged at the base of the tower (8) of the wind turbine. 5 The "top" element (1) consists of two parts (4,5), one (4) that is set to the bearing (3) of the bushing (15) (figure 1A) and another (5) in the form of a flange (figure 1B) surrounding the root (7) of the blade (13). The part (4) of the "top" element (1) that is fixed in the bearing (3) of 10 shovel (see figure 3) consists of several horizontal deflection pulleys (4.2) and vertical (4.1), and various fixing elements (4.3) of the cable (6) (see figures 4A, 4B AND 4C), which are arranged on the outer race of the blade bearing (3) of the bushing (15) and whose function is to support, drive and tie the cables (6) that rise from the winches (2.5) of the "ground" element (2) and engage fifteen with the blade flange (5) (13) of the "top" element (1). The vertical deflection pulleys (4.1) are used to direct the cable (6) towards the flange (5) of the blade (13) and the winches (2.5) of the element "ground" (2), while horizontal pulleys (4.2) are used to 2 o guide the cables (6) horizontally around the bearing (3) and the fasteners (4.3) to hold the end of the cables (6). The blade flange (5) (13) of the "top" element (1) (figure 1B) consists of two pulley segments (5.1) And at least two connecting segments (5.2), 25 screwed together by means of connecting screws (5.3) which, in cooperation with shims (5.4), allow adjusting the diameter of the flange (5) to the diameter of the blade root (7) (13) (see figures 6A and 6B). The Pulley segments (5.1) consist of a pulley (9) and an element of reinforcement (10), the pulley (9) must be positioned facing the 30 bearing (3) and facing the corresponding deflection pulley (4.1) of the bearing part (4) of the "top" element (1), while the segments of union (5.2) are symmetrical, so they have no position determined placement. The flange (5) is constituted by joining the pulley segments (5.1) and the connecting segments (5.2) so that 35 a pulley segment (5.1) remains on each side of the blade (13), that is, one on the side closest to the tower (8) and one on the outer side. For the blade flange (5) to work properly, it must be level with respect to the blade bearing (3). Since the blade root (7) usually has many irregularities, the segments (5.1, 5.2) of the blade flange (5) have a series of holes (11) to introduce rods (12) (see Figure 5) which support with the end opposite the segment (5.1, 5.2) in the blade bearing (3) and that allow to regulate the flange (5) in height with respect to the bearing (3). Said rods (12) will be removed afterwards, once the flange (5) has been fully fixed in the root (7) of the blade (13). According to an embodiment of the invention, part (4) of the "top" element (1) that is fixed to the bearing (3) and the part (5) that constitutes the blade flange (13) must be perfectly aligned with each other, so that the deflection of the cable (6) between the vertical pulleys ( 4.1) And the pulleys (9) of the flange (5) are perfectly aligned, so that the different elements (4, 5) that constitute the "top" element must be in a specific position and the blade in position O ° . The "ground" element (2) consists of a structure (2.1) formed by sections comprising fixed rollers (2.2), a centering roller (2.3), bypass pulleys (2.4), winches (2.5), a detachable structure (2.1), a counterweight (2.6), an electrical panel (2.7) and control elements such as an inclinometer (not shown) and load cells (not shown) located on the forwarding pulleys (2.4) of the counterweights (2.6) that allow to control the tension of the cable (6). The main section of the structure (2.1) supports the winches (2.5), the electrical panel (2.7) and the fixed rollers (2.2) and is positioned at the base of the tower (8). The parallel sections of the structure (2.1) are symmetrical and are screwed to the main section perpendicular to it. The counterweights (2.6) are placed at the ends of the parallel sections and between them is placed a front section provided with an adjustable centering roller (2.3). The front section, once placed at the point closest to the tower (8), is screwed between the counterweights (2.6) to finally adjust the centering roller (2.3) adjustable with the tower (8) (see figures 7 A , 7B, 7C). The electrical panel (2.7) has a start button and an emergency button (not shown), a touch screen (not shown) to visualize the status of the different elements that make up the blade replacement device (13), as well as tension and cable movement indicators (6) connected to the load cells of the pulleys (2.4) of the counterweights (2.6), a selector and some warning lights for the operation of the winches (2.5). In this way, the device allows to configure the working limits of inclination of the blade (13) and the tension in the cables (6).
