AI Technical Summary
Existing roller blinds lack proper upper and lower limit devices, which makes the slats prone to falling off or being mispositioned during closing or opening, making them inconvenient to use and requiring manual adjustment. Furthermore, existing roller blinds with adjustable limit devices cannot adjust their size automatically.
A roller blind structure comprising an upper rail, a lower rail, slats, a limiting device, and a fixed bracket is designed. The limiting device achieves upper and lower limit control of the slats through components such as limiting protrusions, grooves, channels, limiting shafts, shaft housings, and stroke adjustment parts. Stability is ensured by limiting elastic parts and hook fasteners, allowing consumers to adjust the limiting position themselves.
It achieves stability and positional accuracy of the curtain slats during the lifting and lowering process. Consumers can adjust the limit position through simple operation without disassembling the entire roller blind, which improves the convenience and applicability of use.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a curtain, and more particularly to a roller blind. Background Technology
[0002] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Roller blinds 1, used for sunshade and decoration in homes, offices, and other locations, have become quite common. However, existing roller blinds 1 allow users to pull the lower rail 12 to open or close the curtain slats 11. Because roller blinds 1 lack suitable upper and lower limit devices, when the lower rail 12 is at position A1 after the curtain slats 11 are closed, it can be too high, causing the lower rail 12 to flip to the other side of the upper rail 13 due to the force generated by the closing of the upper rail 13. This causes the highest point A2 of the closed lower rail 12 to drop, requiring the user to manually return the lower rail 12 to its original position. Furthermore, because roller blinds 1 lack a lower limit device, excessive force when pulling down the curtain slats 11 can cause the top 111 of the curtain slats 11 to detach from the connection point B of the upper rail 13, resulting in the curtain 11 falling down.
[0003] Therefore, the industry has developed roller blinds with adjustable upper limit devices or roller blinds with only lower limit devices. Roller blinds with upper limit devices do not have lower limit devices, which can cause the slats to fall off the upper rail when pulled down. Conversely, roller blinds with lower limit devices do not have upper limit devices. When the slats are closed, the bottom of the slats flips to the other side of the upper rail due to the force generated when closing, and the user has to manually put the lower rail back in its original position.
[0004] Also, please see Figure 3 Furthermore, an industry has developed a roller blind with upper and lower limit positions, as disclosed in Taiwan Patent Publication No. M605068, and its buffer. In this roller blind 2, the buffer 21 is pre-adjusted by the manufacturer and sealed within an upper rail 22. If a consumer purchases and installs the roller blind 2, only to find that its size is unsuitable, the consumer cannot adjust it themselves and must return it to the seller for repair or purchase a replacement roller blind 2 of the correct size. These existing defects are precisely the shortcomings that those skilled in the art urgently seek to improve. Summary of the Invention

[0147] See also Figure 4 These fixing brackets 7 correspond to and are used for fixing to the upper sides of the window. Each fixing bracket 7 includes a fixing body 71 installed on the upper side of the window and a vertical frame 72 connected to the lower part of the fixing body 71. Each fixing body 71 has a vertical member 711, and each vertical member 711 has a plurality of fixing holes 712 and 713 in both the horizontal and vertical portions. Each vertical member 711 is bent inward below the fixing holes 713 in the vertical portion. Each vertical frame 72 is provided with a connecting portion 721 connecting to the bottom end of the vertical portion of each vertical member 711, and a guide portion 722 extending from the lower part of the connecting portion 721. Two grooves 723 are respectively provided on both sides of each guide portion 722 for temporary placement during the installation of the roller blind device 5. Each guide portion 722 has a square through hole 724 between the grooves 723 for the fixing post 51 of the roller blind device 5 and the first convex shaft 612 of the lower limiting shaft 61 to pass through and be positioned. Each guide portion 722 has an outwardly curved guide groove 725 below each through hole 724, one guide groove 725 for the fixing post 51 to be guided into one of the through holes 724 for positioning, and the other guide groove 725 for the first convex shaft 612 to be guided into the other through hole 724 for positioning.
[0148] Continuing on the above, each of the fixed brackets 7 further includes an outer sleeve 73. Each of the outer sleeves 73 is provided with a receiving groove 731 and two locking blocks 732 located on both sides above the receiving groove 731. The receiving grooves 731 are for the upright bodies 72 to be inserted into, and the locking blocks 732 are used to fix the connecting parts 721.
[0149] Please see Figures 10 to 13When the installer installs the roller shutter 3, the upper rail 4 rotates and the lower rail 42 descends. The upper rail 4 can drive the first limiting groove 621 of the shaft housing 62 and the second limiting groove 652 of the limiting rotating body 65 to rotate along the limiting protrusion 411. The limiting rotating body 65 rotates from the stroke adjustment member 64 toward the lower limiting stop 67. When the limiting rotating body 65 pushes against the lower limiting stop 67, the second abutting part 654 of the limiting rotating body 65 engages with the fourth abutting part 673 of the lower limiting stop 67, so that the limiting rotating body 65 is blocked by the lower limiting stop 67 and will not continue to rotate.
[0150] Please see Figures 14 to 16 and cooperate Figure 8 After the roller blind 3 is installed, the consumer finds that the lower limit of the lower rail 42 of the roller blind 3 is not aligned with the window in the home. To change the lower limit of the lower rail 42, the lower rail 42 is pulled up by hand to the stop point C of the lower limit. Simply remove the fixing bracket 7 at the right end, so that the first convex shaft 612 is separated from the other through hole 724, and tilt the other end of the upper rail 4 with the limiting device 6 downward. Then the shaft housing 62 and the limiting rotating body 65 will be stuck in the upper rail 4 and will not rotate. When the consumer rotates the first convex shaft 612 counterclockwise by hand, the second convex stop 6322 of the shaft rod 632 will rotate and push the limiting elastic member 6. One end 681 of 8 simultaneously pushes the first side 6412 of the arc-shaped lever 641 and drives the arc-shaped lever 641 to rotate, so that the upper limit shaft 63, the stroke adjustment member 64, the upper limit stop body 66 and the lower limit stop body 67 provided inside the shaft housing 62 will rotate counterclockwise with the rotation of the lower limit shaft 61, so that the limiting rotating body 65 moves linearly towards the lower limit stop body 67 until the second abutment part 654 of the limiting rotating body 65 engages with the fourth abutment part 673 of the lower limit stop body 67 and stops. The lower limit stop body 67 causes the limiting rotating body 65 to drive the upper rail 4 to stop the lower rail 42 from descending.
[0151] Please see Figures 17 to 19 and cooperate Figure 13After the roller blind 3 is installed, the consumer finds that the upper limit of the lower rail 42 of the roller blind 3 is not aligned with the window in the home. If the upper limit of the lower rail 42 needs to be raised, the lower rail 42 is first lowered by hand to the stop point D of the upper limit. It is not necessary to remove the upper rail 4. The shaft housing 62 and the limiting rotating body 65 are stuck in the upper rail 4 and will not rotate. By inserting the adjustment tool 9 into the hexagonal hole 6311 of the second convex shaft 631, the upper limit shaft 63 is rotated clockwise. Then the first convex stop 6321 of the shaft 632 rotates and pushes the other end 682 of the limiting elastic member 68. At the same time, it pushes the second side 6413 of the arc-shaped lever 641 and drives the arc-shaped lever. Rotating 641 causes the first threaded portion 643 to rotate clockwise and move toward the second space 676, while the arc-shaped lever 641 moves toward the inner chamber 633 of the upper limit shaft 63. At the same time, the upper limit stop 66 rotates clockwise along with the first threaded portion 643 until the third stop 662 engages with the first stop 653 of the limiting rotating body 65 and stops. The upper limit stop 66 then causes the limiting rotating body 65 to stop the upper rail 4 from pulling the lower rail 42. Thus, by setting the limiting device 6 at the other end of the upper rail 4, this invention allows consumers to rotate the roller blind 3 by hand or adjust it with the adjustment tool 9 without disassembling the entire structure of the roller blind 3.
