[0026] In this embodiment, the fan blades are located below the horizontal hanging plate 1. The fan blades are tightened with two lifting belts 9. The electric horizontal push rod 3 is operated to push the push plate 4 to the right, causing the first rack 5 to move right along with it, until the gear of the first rack 5 is engaged with the gear of the second rack 8, thereby fixing the fan blades below the horizontal hanging plate 1. The crane hooks the lifting ring 6 with a wire rope to lift the device together with the fan blades. After the fan blades arrive at the installation position and are installed, the electric horizontal push rod 3 is operated to drive the push plate 4 to move left, causing the first rack 5 to move left along with it, until the gear of the first rack 5 is completely disengaged from the gear of the second rack 8. Under the action of gravity, the second rack 8 is disengaged from the vertical through hole 7 and is hung below the horizontal hanging plate 1 through the lifting belt 9. At this time, the crane can be operated to directly detach the device from the fan blades without the need for translation and then detachment, thereby improving the lifting efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the front side, the rear side and the right side of the second rack 8 are all slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical through hole 7.
