With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, in use, the supporting tube (10) is securely mounted on a fixture, the mounting tube (92), the top cover (93) and the transmitting shaft (95) of the rotating device (11) are mounted on the open top end of the supporting tube (10) and the mounting frame (16) is securely mounted on the mounting tube (92).
The dynamo (18) is mounted in the mounting frame (16) to connect with the gear wheel (162). In addition, one of the embodiments of the blade (22a, 22b) of the fan body (20) is chosen to form as the generator in accordance with the present invention. After mounting the fan bodies (20) on the mounting frame (16), the guiding board (17) is mounted on the spindle (161) of the mounting frame (16) and is securely connected to the holding blocks (924) of the mounting tube (92).
In use, with further reference to Fig. 1, when the first embodiment of the wind-powered electricity generator in accordance with the present invention is used in a slight wind condition, the mounting frame (16) is rotated by the drive device (80) to allow the fan bodies (20) facing the wind and the pivotal panels (173) are pivoted relative to the guiding board (17) to form a closed condition by the expansion device (1736) rotating the driving shaft (1735).
With reference to Figs. 4 and 5, in the first embodiment of the blade (22a), the expansion devices (54a) drive the linking beams (24a) to move the movable boards (23 a) synchronously upward by the linking beams (24a) to form a closed condition as shown in Fig. 5. With reference to Fig. 7, in the second embodiment of the blade (22b), the expansion devices (54b) drive the movable boards (23b) to move synchronously upward along the guiding rails (52b) by the guiding flanges (53b) to form a closed condition.
By the above-mentioned operation, the guiding board (17) is rotated to face the wind and the movable panels (173) of the guiding board (17) and the blades (22a, 22b) of the fan bodies (20) are driven to form a closed condition. The closed guiding board (17) can provide a guiding effect to the wind and to make the wind flowing into the fan bodies (20) in concentration to rotate the spindle (161) with the fan bodies (20). Then, the dynamo (18) that is mounted in the mounting frame (16) can generate power with the connection with the gear wheel (162) of the mounting frame (16) in the slight wind condition.
In addition, when the first embodiment of the wind-powered electricity generator in accordance with the present invention is used in a stiff wind condition, with reference to Figs. 3 and 8B, the pivotal panels (173) are rotated to form an open condition to decrease the wind drag force. Furthermore, the blades (22a, 22b) are also adjusted to an open condition to decrease the moment of the wind applied to the fan bodies (20).
With reference to Fig. 4, when using the first embodiment of the blade (22a), the expansion devices (54a) drive the movable boards (23a) synchronously and aslant pivoting with the transmission of the linking beams (24a) to form an open condition.
With reference to Fig. 7, when using the second embodiment of the blade (22b), the expansion devices (54b) drive the movable boards (23b) synchronously moving downward along the guiding rails (52b) by the guiding flanges (53b) to form an open condition. Then, the open conditions of the blades (22a, 22b) can allow the wind flowing through the wind-powered electricity generator and this can decrease the wind drag force applied onto the blades (22a, 22b) and can prevent the wind-powered electricity generator from breaking in a stiff wind condition.

In used, with further reference to Fig. 12, when the second embodiment of the wind-powered electricity generator in accordance with the present invention is used in a slight wind condition, the mounting frame (1 6c) can be rotated relative to the annular rail (11 ic) by the drive devices (65 ic) driving the moving devices (63c) to make the fan body (20) facing the wind. The pivotal panels (173) are rotated relative to the guiding board (17c) to form a closed condition by the expansion device (1736) rotating the driving shaft (1735). In addition, the movable boards (23a, 23b) of the blades (22a, 22b) also can be adjusted to form closed conditions as shown in Figs. 4 to 7. Then, the wind can be guided to flow into the fan body (20) by the guiding board (17c) to rotate the central axle (21) with the fan body (20). Thus, the dynamos (1 8c) that are mounted on the free ends of the central axle (21) can generate power in a slight wind condition.
When the second embodiment of the wind-powered electricity generator in accordance with the present invention is used in a stiff wind condition, with reference to Fig. 14, the pivotal panels (173) are rotated form an open condition to decrease the wind drag force. Furthermore, the blades (22a, 22b) can be adjusted to an open condition to decrease the moment of wind applied onto the fan body (20) as shown in Figs. 4 to 7.
The wind-powered electricity generator as described has the following advantages.
1. The pivotal panels (173) of the guiding board (17, 17c) and the movable boards (23a, 23b) of the blades (22, 22a, 22b) of the fan body (20) can be operated in a closed condition in the slight wind condition and this can increase the efficiency of the wind-powered electricity generator.
2. The pivotal panels (173) of the guiding board (17, 17c) and the movable boards (23 a, 23b) of the blades (22, 22a, 22b) of the fan body (20) can be operated in an open close condition in the stiff wind condition. Then, the wind can flow through the wind-powered electricity generator and this can decrease the wind drag force applied on the blades (22a, 22b) and can prevent the blades (22, 22a, 22b) from being broken. Then, the use of the wind-powered electricity generator in accordance with the present invention is safe.
