The number of main fan blades is five or six, and the main fan blade is wing-shaped. The first guide plate and the second guide plate of the present application cooperate with each other, and the curvature of the second guide plate is greater than that of the first guide plate, so that when the wind passes through the main fan blade formed by the first guide plate and the second guide plate, the main fan blade generates an inward force, thereby making the rotating shaft rotate more stably.

[0038] Specifically, the vertical power generation mechanism 3 includes a fixed ring 31 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22, the outer surface of the fixed ring 31 is provided with a threaded hole 32, the outer surface of the fixed ring 31 is threadedly connected with a connecting plate 33, the connecting plate 33 is threadedly connected with a bolt 34, and the connecting plate 33 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22 through the bolt 34.

[0039] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that the fixed ring 31 serves as a key component for connecting the rotating shaft 22 and the external structure, and the connecting plate 33 transmits the torque to the horizontal connecting rod 35, which is modularly designed for easy installation and maintenance by workers.

[0040] Specifically, the outer surface of the connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected with a horizontal connecting rod 35 in the middle, and the outer surface of the connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected with an inclined connecting rod 36, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal connecting rod 35.

[0048] Working principle: When the wind blows towards the blades 38, the blades 38 generate lift and drag, driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate around the rotating positioning column 21, and the rotational speed sensor 23 monitors the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 22 in real time and transmits the data to the control system, and the current sensor 24 synchronously monitors the output current of the generator.
