When the blades 9 are subjected to a large wind force, the wind turbine main shaft 8 will not be damaged.

[0039] In this embodiment, a limiting block is provided on the outer side of the sliding block 27, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the fixed sleeve 26. The limiting block is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove. The sliding groove can limit the sliding block 27, so that the second lead screw 24 will not drive the sliding block 27 to rotate after rotation, and the sliding block 27 can only slide.

[0040] The specific operation is as follows: the wind turbine main shaft 8 is installed inside the bearing 7 above the mounting bracket 6. The mounting bracket 6 provides auxiliary support for the wind turbine main shaft 8. The wind turbine main shaft 8 is connected to the connecting shaft 5 and blade 9 through the connecting flange 10, which makes the connection relatively stable. The mounting bracket 6 is installed above the connecting box 11 through the connecting block 12 below, which allows bearings 7 of different sizes and the wind turbine main shaft 8 to be connected and fixed with the corresponding gear set 4 and connecting shaft 5.

After the first lead screw 13 rotates, it can move the sliding plate 15 and the insertion block 16 through the threaded engagement. The insertion block 16 can slide into the inside of the connecting block 12, which facilitates quick connection and locking of the mounting bracket 6. At the same time as the first lead screw 13 rotates, it can drive the worm gear 23 to move the worm. The rod 22 rotates, and the worm gear 22 drives the second lead screw 24 to rotate through the worm wheel 25. After the second lead screw 24 rotates, it drives the sliding block 27 and the anti-slip pad 28 to descend through the threaded engagement. After the anti-slip pad 28 abuts against the wind turbine mounting frame 3, it can support and reinforce the wind turbine main shaft 8. Due to the different heights of the wind turbine mounting frame 3, a through slot is provided above the connecting block 12, which allows the insertion block 16 to stop at any position inside the slot, and allows the sliding block 27 and the anti-slip pad 28 below to support and reinforce the connecting box 11. The connecting box 11 and the mounting frame 6 can provide a supporting force for the wind turbine main shaft 8. When the blade 9 is subjected to excessive force, the wind turbine main shaft 8 will not be damaged or shifted. Moreover, the setting of this device makes it easy for the staff to disassemble and maintain the wind turbine main shaft 8 later.
