[0024] The axial flow fan structure includes a short shaft 5 and an axial flow fan 6, one end of the short shaft 5 is coaxially arranged in the armature tube 1 and connected to the closed end of the armature tube 1, and the other end extends to the space in the center of the annular base 3 and is fixedly connected to the axial flow fan 6;

[0025] The gap between the short shaft 5 and the annular base 3 forms a first air flow channel 71, and the gaps between the barrel wall of the armature barrel 1 and the two side walls of the annular groove 31 form a second air flow channel 72 and a third air flow channel 73 respectively. The first air flow channel 71, the second air flow channel 72 and the third air flow channel 73 are connected in sequence.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the generator shaft is arranged horizontally, the armature barrel 1 and the annular base 3 are arranged coaxially with the generator shaft, the closed end of the armature barrel 1 is connected to the generator shaft, driven to rotate by the generator shaft, and the annular base 3 is fixed. The center of the annular base 3 has a cylindrical space, one end of the short shaft 5 is connected to the closed end of the armature barrel 1, and the other end extends to the space in the center of the annular base 3 and is provided with an axial flow fan 6.

[0027] In the nested arrangement of the armature tube 1 and the annular groove 31 of the annular base 3, there is a gap between the tube wall of the armature tube 1 and the two side walls of the annular groove 31, there is a gap between the side of the annular base 3 having the annular groove 31 and the closed end of the armature tube 1, and there is a gap between the end of the armature tube 1 and the bottom of the annular groove 31, so the first air flow channel 71, the second air flow channel 72 and the third air flow channel 73 are connected in sequence to form an S-shaped air flow channel.

[0028] During the application of this embodiment, the generator shaft rotates, driving the armature cylinder 1 to rotate, so that the armature winding 2 provides excitation current for the generator rotor. During the rotation of the armature cylinder 1, the short shaft 5 is driven to rotate, and then the axial flow fan 6 on the short shaft 5 is driven to rotate, so that air flows in the first air flow channel 71.
