The propeller locking ring 5 and the propeller main body 4 are formed by an integrated material and are fixedly connected to the propeller main body 4, the position of the propeller locking ring is arranged outside the propeller rotating shaft, and the specific position of the propeller locking ring is determined by the actual size of the propeller 1 and the size of the propeller hub 2.
