Those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in the functions of components as the criteria for distinction. As mentioned throughout the specification and claims, "including" is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment of implementing the present application, but the description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present application, and is not used to limit the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the definition of the attached claims.

The right end of the speed-increasing gearbox 23 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 25. The main shaft 25 drives multiple gears inside the speed-increasing gearbox 23 to rotate and increase the speed of the output end of the speed-increasing gearbox 23. The output of the speed-increasing gearbox 23 The output end is fixedly connected to the coupler 211, and the speed increasing gearbox 23 also includes a motor for driving the internal gears of the speed increasing gearbox 23 and the main shaft 25 to rotate.

The heat of the generator 21 is delivered to the top of the first blower 32 through the heat exchanger 22 and the coolant delivery pipe 221. The cold air extracted by the first blower 32 is heated after passing through the heat exchanger 22. The heat generated by the generator 21 is absorbed by the coolant, and the coolant that absorbs the heat is delivered to the inside of the heat exchanger 22 in the tower 3 through the coolant delivery pipe 221. The cold air is heated when passing through the heat exchanger 22, thereby avoiding the waste of heat generated during the operation of the generator 21 and improving the energy utilization efficiency.

A driving motor 371 is installed above the movable frame 37, and the driving motor 371 drives the movable frame 37 to reciprocate along the slide rail 36. The hot air is blown out from the annular jet pipe 38 through the second air outlet pipe 35, and can be sprayed on the outer surface of the fan blade 1 to accelerate the melting speed of ice and snow at the tip of the fan blade 1.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 and 5 The trachea connector 26 includes a hot air duct interface 2611 and a return air duct interface 2621.

The first air outlet duct 261 is communicated with the return air chamber 2622 inside the trachea connector 26 through the return air duct interface 2621. The hot air chamber 2612 and the return air chamber 2622 are both arranged in an annular manner, and the return air chamber 2622 is arranged on the outside of the hot air chamber 2612.

While the air inlet connecting pipe 1011 keeps rotating, the hot air can also enter the air inlet connecting pipe 1011 through the first air outlet pipe 261 and then enter the air inlet channel 13. At the same time, the heated return gas enters the first air outlet pipe 261 through the air outlet connecting pipe 1012 and the return pipe interface 2621 and is transported to the inside of the air heating box 33 for heating and recycling again, thereby avoiding heat loss.

[0058] Among them, a plurality of temperature and humidity sensors 112 are arranged on the surface of the fan blades 1. The temperature and humidity sensors 112 are used to monitor the temperature and humidity on the fan blades 1 and feed back the data to the processing terminal.

[0062] 3. The main shaft is braked and decelerated by the brake mechanism. At the same time, the coupler decouples the input end of the generator from the output end of the speed-increasing gearbox. The motor drives the gear set in the speed-increasing gearbox to rotate, driving the main shaft and the hub to rotate. When one of the fan blades rotates to the vertical downward position, the brake mechanism stops and locks the main shaft.

[0063] 4. Open the first solenoid valve, and the hot air enters the hot air chamber through the first air outlet pipe, and then enters the air inlet channel through the air inlet connecting pipe. Start the air inlet blower and the air outlet blower to drive the hot air to flow along the air inlet channel and the air outlet channel and heat the heat transfer plate. The heat transfer plate transfers the heat to the heat spreader, and the heat spreader heats up to de-ice the surface of the fan blades;

[0064] 5. Open the second solenoid valve, and the hot air flows through the second air outlet pipe to the annular jet pipe and is ejected. The annular jet pipe is located directly below the fan blades. The driving motor drives the mobile frame to move back and forth so that the hot air is sprayed onto the surface of the fan blades to perform deicing operations.

[0065] To summarize, the present invention extracts external cold air and heats it, and then transports the hot air to the inside of the fan blades 1 through a pipe to heat the fan blades 1. The surface of the fan blades 1 is evenly heated through the heat-distributing net 11 to avoid stress concentration caused by uneven temperature and damage to the fan blades 1. At the same time, the melting speed of ice and snow is accelerated by blowing hot air from the annular jet pipe 38 to the surface of the fan blades 1, thereby improving the de-icing efficiency.
