A wind turbine typically consists of a rotor, generator, directional control unit, tower, speed limiting safety mechanism, and energy storage device. A wind concentrator is a device used to concentrate or guide airflow; it is usually installed at or around the front of the wind turbine to improve the turbine's efficiency or performance in specific applications.

Blades are rotatably connected to the left side of the wind turbine generator set, and a wind collection device is provided around the periphery of the blades. The wind collection device is adjacent to the blades and includes a wind collection shroud and a mounting bracket, with the shroud and mounting bracket engaging. This device effectively increases the rotational efficiency of the blades by fixing the wind collection device to the outer wall of the wind turbine generator set. The wind collection shroud is divided into upper and lower parts, which, when fitted with inserts, effectively increase the stability of fixing the shroud.
