A hub, to which three blades 3 receiving wind are fixed so as to extend in a radial direction of the hub at equal intervals, is arranged in a spindle-shaped boss having a rectification function. A cylindrical frame is arranged on the leeward side of the boss to separate an outer peripheral surface of a generator from outside air. An outer surface of the boss, which rotates with the blades, and an outer peripheral surface of the frame form a continuous plane. On the outer peripheral surface of the frame, a plurality of fins, which are outwardly protruded in a radial direction of the frame and extend in an axial direction of the frame, are arranged in a circle-circumferential direction of the frame at equal intervals. After the outside air gives a rotational force to the blades, the outside air passes along the fins. Therefore, heat, which is generated in the generator and is transferred to the fins through the frame by conduction, is dissipated to the outside air. Accordingly, the temperature of the generator can be reliably maintained to a value equal to or lower than a standard value, and a wind power generating device having a simple cooling structure can be manufactured.
