Abstract

The present invention relates to an intelligent wind turbine generator, which comprises a first blade module, a second blade module, a power generating module, and a control module. The second blade module is disposed at the first blade module. The power generating module is connected with the first and second blade modules. The control module is connected with the power generating module, the first blade module, and the second blade module. The first and second blade modules rotate, driving the power generating module to generate power. The control module detects a voltage value generated by the power generating module and judges if the voltage value is greater or lower than a predetermined value. The control module controls whether the first and second blade modules overlap or not. The intelligent wind turbine generator is able to switch automatically the blade number of the wind turbine generator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An intelligent wind turbine generator, comprising:
a first blade module; a second blade module, disposed at said first blade module; a power generating module, connected with said first blade module and said second blade module; and a control module, connected with said power generating module, said first blade module, and said second blade module; where said first blade module and said second blade module rotate to drive said power generating module to generate power; said control module detects a voltage value generated by said power generating module and judges if said voltage value is higher or lower than a predetermined value; and said control module controls said first blade module and said second blade module to overlap or not to overlap.

2 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim I, wherein said first blade module comprises a first plate member and a plurality of first blades surrounding said first plate member; said second blade module comprises a second plate member and a plurality of second blades surrounding said second plate member; said first plate member is disposed on one side of said second plate member; and said plurality of first blades overlap or do not overlap said plurality of second blades.

3 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 2 , wherein said second plate member includes an accommodating cavity; the outer diameter of said plate member is smaller than the inner diameter of said accommodating cavity; and said first plate member is inlaid in said second plate member.

4 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 2 , wherein said second plate member includes a plurality of notches and said plurality of first blades of said first blade module are located in said plurality of notches.

5 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 4 , wherein said plurality of second blades of said second blade module correspond to said plurality of notches.

6 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 2 , wherein said power generating module comprises:
a power generating unit; and an axis unit, connected with said power generating unit, and passing through said first plate member and said second plate member.

7 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 2 , wherein said control module comprises:
a detecting unit, connected with said power generating module; a control unit, connected electrically with said detecting unit; and a driving unit, connected with said detecting unit, and disposed between said first plate member and said second plate member.

8 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 7 , wherein said driving unit comprises:
a motor, disposed at said first plate member; a first gear set, driven by said motor, and located at said first plate member; and a second gear set, geared with said first gear set, and located at said second plate member; where said motor drives said first gear set; said first gear set drives said second gear set; and said first plate member rotate with respect to said second plate member.

9 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 2 , wherein said control module further comprises a locking unit disposed between said first plate member and said second plat member and comprising:
a motor, disposed at said first plate member; a transmission gear set, connected with said motor; a locking member, connected with said transmission gear set, and passing through said first plate member; and a plurality of locking holes, disposed at said second plate member; where said motor drives said transmission gear set; said transmission gear set drives said locking member; and said locking member is embedded in one of said plurality of locking holes.

10 . The intelligent wind turbine generator of claim 9 , wherein said plurality of locking holes comprise a first locking hole and a second locking hole.
