[0002] Wind energy is a kind of clean renewable energy, with huge application potential, and has developed rapidly in recent years. Propeller wind turbine is a commonly used device for converting wind energy into electrical energy. Its basic structure includes tower, blade, rotor, generator and control system. The blade of wind turbine is responsible for capturing wind energy and converting it into mechanical energy, playing a key role in the energy conversion process. Most existing blades have fixed wind-incident area, which is inconvenient to adjust. The blade with fixed wind-incident area cannot fully utilize wind energy at low wind speed, and may not adapt to high wind speed changes at high wind speed, resulting in reduced energy conversion efficiency.

[0003] In order to adapt the blade of wind turbine to current wind speed, the wind-incident angle of blade is generally adjusted by variable pitch mechanism to adapt to wind speed changes, so that wind energy can be more effectively converted into electrical energy.
