Curtain installation platform

Abstract

A curtain mounting platform includes a base beam, a pressure mechanism, a connecting plug, and a retainer assembled to the connecting plug. The base beam includes a first wall and a second wall opposite to each other, and a connecting hole through the second wall. The pressure mechanism is located at one end of the base beam and can be operated to protrude outward relative to that end. The connecting plug includes a body and two interfering bodies joined to opposite sides of the body, each interfering body having an operating surface. When the base beam spans between two facing mounting surfaces via the pressure mechanism, the body is generally positioned between the first and second walls, and the operating surfaces of the two interfering bodies abut against the inner surface of the second wall to hold the connecting plug to the base beam. At this time, the retainer is exposed on the base beam to hold the curtain beam, thereby non-destructively installing the curtain between the two mounting surfaces.

When the base beam spans between the two mounting surfaces via the pressurizing mechanism, the body of the connecting plug is generally located between the first wall and the second wall, and the working surface of the interfering body at least partially abuts against the inner surface of the second wall, thereby holding the connecting plug in the connecting hole of the base beam.

2. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 1, wherein, When the insertion end of the body enters the connecting hole of the basic beam and the interfering body contacts the hole wall, the interfering body undergoes at least partial elastic deformation until the body penetrates into the working surface and at least partially abuts the inner surface of the second wall.

3. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 2, wherein, The interferometer has a fixed end and a free end; the fixed end is connected to the body, and the free end extends obliquely from the fixed end toward an interferometer extension direction without exceeding the connection end of the body, wherein the interferometer extension direction is simultaneously away from the insertion end of the body and away from the body; the working surface of the interferometer is located on the free end; when the insertion end of the body enters the connecting hole of the basic beam and causes the interferometer to contact the hole wall, the interferometer undergoes elastic deformation and causes the free end to swing relative to the fixed end toward one of the directions closer to the body, until the body penetrates into the working surface and at least partially abuts the inner surface of the second wall.

4. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 3, wherein, The free end of the interference body is a stepped structure with a mating surface intersecting the working surface; when the connecting plug is held in the connecting hole, the mating surface faces the hole wall of the connecting hole.

5. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 4, wherein, When the connecting plug is engaged in the mating hole, the mating surface abuts against the wall of the mating hole.

6. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 2, wherein, The interference body includes an elastic portion, and the working surface is located on the elastic portion; a collapsible space is provided between the elastic portion and the body, so that the elastic portion can deform in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; when the insertion end of the body enters the connecting hole of the basic beam and the interference body contacts the hole wall, the elastic portion undergoes elastic deformation toward the body.

7. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 6, wherein, The elastic part includes a deformation area and a protrusion. The deformation area and the body together enclose the collapsible space. The protrusion is attached to the other side of the deformation area opposite to the collapsible space, and the working surface is located on the protrusion. When the insertion end enters the connecting hole and the interference body contacts the hole wall, the deformation area undergoes elastic deformation along the second direction toward the collapsible space, causing the protrusion to move toward one of the directions closer to the body, until the body penetrates into the working surface and at least partially abuts the inner surface of the second wall.

8. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 7, wherein, The deformation zone is a thin-shell structure, which is integrally formed with the body and the protrusion.

9. The curtain installation platform as described in claim 2, wherein, The interference body further includes a disassembly groove facing the first direction and having one side wall facing away from the body; when the connecting plug is engaged in the connecting hole, the disassembly groove is at least partially exposed from the connecting hole. If the side wall of the disassembly groove is pushed towards the body by a disassembly force, the interference body undergoes at least partial elastic deformation, causing the action surface to detach from the inner surface of the second wall, thereby disassembling the connecting plug from the connecting hole of the basic beam.

10. The curtain mounting platform as claimed in claim 1 further includes a fixing element; the interference body has a connecting end connected to the body, and the interference body and the body together form an insertion cavity; when the connecting plug has been inserted into the connecting hole so that the body is generally located between the first wall and the second wall, the fixing element is inserted into the insertion cavity, causing the interference body to expand at least partially radially until the working surface at least partially abuts the inner surface of the second wall, thereby holding the connecting plug in the connecting hole of the base beam.
