Abstract

An electromagnetic clutch-controlled electric blind is constructed to include a blind body formed of a headrail defining a receiving chamber, a set of slats, and a bottom rail, a power drive, the power drive including a reversible motor and electromagnetic clutch apparatus connectable to the motor, an amplitude modulation set coupled to the motor for rotation with the motor to lift/lower the slats to the desired elevation, a frequency modulation set coupled to the motor through the electromagnetic clutch apparatus and adapted for controlling tilting angle of the slats.
