Clamping plates 12 are fixedly installed on the side of the two sets of sliding plates 7 that are close to each other. Two limiting components 4 are provided on top of the base 1. The base 1 and the top seat 2 can form an overall frame, while the lower support plates 8 and the upper support plates 9 can provide a mounting base for components such as the driving component 3. Through the cooperation of the T-slots 5 and the electric cylinders 6, the sliding plates 7 can be provided with a track and power for sliding, thereby driving the clamping plates 12 to achieve the clamping action of the wind turbine blade.
[0023] In a further embodiment, each of the two limiting members 4 includes two sliding blocks 401 and two sliding plates 402. The bottom surface and the upper surface of the two sliding plates 402 are fixedly installed on the side of the two sets of sliding plates 7 that are close to each other.

[0024] In a further embodiment, each of the two driving components 3 includes a driving cover 301 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the lower support plate 8. A lifting cover 302 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each of the two driving covers 301. The top ends of the two lifting covers 302 are fixedly mounted to the bottom surfaces of the two upper support plates 9, respectively. A threaded lifting plate 304 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of each of the two lifting covers 302. A threaded transmission rod 303 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two threaded lifting plates 304.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, according to the width of the wind turbine blade, the electric cylinder 6 is started. The electric cylinder 6 can push the sliding plate 7 to slide in the T-slot 5, and the sliding plate 7 will drive the clamping plate 12 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 12 to match the width of the wind turbine blade. Then, one end of the wind turbine blade is inserted between the two sets of clamping plates 12. Next, the forward and reverse motor 305 is started to run. The forward and reverse motor 305 drives the threaded transmission rod 303 to rotate, which enables the threaded lifting plate 304 to be threadedly connected to the threaded transmission rod 303. Under the action of threaded transmission, the threaded lifting plate 304 drives the lifting cover 302 to slide downward inside the drive cover 301, thereby enabling the two clamping plates 12 above to clamp and fix the wind turbine blade. Then, through the upper lifting component 13 and the lower lifting component 10, the device is conveniently connected to the lifting equipment to realize the lifting of the wind turbine blade.
