[0030] Example

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this dual-mode roll-up fireproof curtain includes a housing 1, a pivot mechanism 10, a fireproof curtain fabric 2, a gravity support rod 3, a rotation limiting mechanism 20, a manual mechanism 30, a smoke detector element 4, and a control panel assembly. The housing is placed on the upper side of the window to provide overall support, fixation, and shielding. The pivot mechanism is horizontally positioned within the housing. The fireproof curtain fabric matches the size of the window, with one end connected to the pivot mechanism and the other end connected to the gravity support rod. It is wound around the pivot mechanism in a rolling manner. The gravity support rod keeps the fireproof curtain fabric extended in the axial direction and provides protection in case of fire. The fireproof curtain is pulled down from the rotating shaft mechanism using its own weight to cover the window. The rotation-limiting mechanism, housed within the housing and connected to the rotating shaft mechanism, restricts its rotation when stationary. A manual mechanism, connected to the rotating shaft mechanism, allows the user to manually operate the curtain to overcome the restriction imposed by the rotation-limiting mechanism. A smoke detector, mounted on the housing, detects potential fire hazards in the surrounding environment. The control board assembly is electrically connected to both the smoke detector and the rotation-limiting mechanism, releasing the rotation restriction on the rotating shaft mechanism based on a fire hazard signal emitted by the smoke detector. Specifically, the smoke detector is configured as a smoke sensor, or a combination of a smoke sensor and a temperature sensor, to improve the accuracy of fire hazard detection.

[0032] Specifically, the rotating shaft mechanism 10 comprises a shaft-crossed curtain rod 11, a left end plug 12 and a right end plug 14 respectively arranged at both ends of the curtain rod, a left rotating shaft 13 arranged on the left end plug coaxial with the curtain rod, and a right rotating shaft 15 arranged on the right end plug coaxial with the curtain rod, both the left rotating shaft and the right rotating shaft are connected with the corresponding end of the shell through bearings and bearing seats 16, and the curtain rod is connected with one end of the fireproof curtain through the clamping groove arranged thereon. Generally, the distance between the left end plug and the right end plug is greater than the width of the fireproof curtain to ensure the convenience of installation and release of the fireproof curtain and avoid the situation that the edge of the fireproof curtain is clamped by the end plug. The shell where the right end plug and the right rotating shaft are located is configured with a mounting space for arranging a rotation limiting mechanism, a manual mechanism, a smoke sensing element and a control board assembly.

[0033] Specifically, the rotation limiting mechanism 20 comprises a limiting disc 21 fixedly connected with the right end plug, a plurality of limiting grooves 22 regularly arranged on the limiting disc, a limiting electromagnet 23 fixedly arranged in the shell, and an elastic limiting rod 24 arranged on the movable end of the limiting electromagnet and having an end part corresponding to the limiting groove, and the limiting electromagnet is electrically connected with the control board assembly. The elastic limiting rod 24 comprises a limiting rod body 25 fixedly connected with the movable end of the limiting electromagnet, a limiting block 26 arranged on the limiting rod body, and a thrust spring 27 sleeved on the limiting rod body and located between the limiting block and the movable end shell of the limiting electromagnet, the thrust spring provides a thrust force for the limiting rod body to keep the end part in the clamped state with the limiting groove, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating shaft mechanism through the limiting disc, and after the limiting electromagnet is energized, the movable end is attracted and pulled to overcome the elastic force of the thrust spring to release the clamped state of the limiting rod body with the limiting groove.

[0034] Further, the limiting groove is in the shape of a circular arc groove and is arranged on the side of the limiting disc facing the limiting electromagnet with the shaft center being circumferentially distributed; and the end part of the elastic limiting rod is configured as a circular head matched with the limiting groove. Through the cooperation with the manual mechanism, the convenience of manual operation can be improved. Specifically, the manual mechanism 30 comprises a handle disc 31 arranged on the right rotating shaft or the right end plug, a guide groove 32 and a clamping hole 33 arranged on the handle disc, and a pull bead 34 arranged in the guide groove and clamped with the clamping hole, and the lower end of the pull bead is lowered to an operable height on the side of the window.

[0035] Specifically, the control board assembly comprises a PCB fixedly arranged in the housing, and a microprocessor, a power supply circuit, a rechargeable battery and a voltage boosting circuit arranged on the PCB, the power supply circuit provides power for the microprocessor and charges the rechargeable battery through an external power supply interface, the microprocessor is powered by the rechargeable battery when there is no external power supply, and the microprocessor is connected to the voltage boosting circuit to drive the rechargeable battery to output boosted power to the limiting electromagnet to drive the limiting electromagnet to close and release the elastic limiting rod from the limiting disc when a fire hazard occurs.

[0036] The voltage boosting circuit comprises a coil L1 and a coil L2 connected to one output end of the rechargeable battery, a resistor R1 connected to the coil L1, a transistor Q1 with the base connected to the resistor R1 and the collector connected to the coil L2, a switch S connected between the other output end of the rechargeable battery and the emitter of the transistor Q1 and controlled by the microprocessor, a diode D1 with the anode connected to the collector of the transistor Q1, and a capacitor C1 and a diode D2 connected in parallel with the negative electrode of the diode D1 connected to one end and the other end connected to the emitter of the transistor Q1, wherein the negative electrode of the diode D1 and the emitter of the transistor Q1 are connected to the limiting electromagnet as two output ends, and the number of turns of the coil L1 is less than that of the coil L2.

[0037] When the fireproof window curtain is used, the fireproof curtain is wound on the curtain rod in a normal state, the limiting electromagnet is not connected, the elastic limiting rod is locked to the limiting disc under the action of the push spring, the rotating shaft mechanism cannot rotate, and the fireproof curtain cannot be released due to the friction force between the elastic limiting rod and the limiting disc in the limiting groove being greater than the gravity of the gravity support rod. When a fire hazard occurs, the smoke sensing element detects a signal, the limiting electromagnet is connected through the signal transmission of the microprocessor, the elastic limiting rod is retracted under the action of the electromagnet, the locking of the limiting disc is released, the rotating shaft mechanism can rotate, the fireproof curtain is pulled down under the gravity of the gravity support rod, the window is blocked, the effect of blocking fire is achieved, and the spread of fire is avoided. Moreover, the rechargeable battery provides power, the fireproof window curtain is not affected by power failure, the capacity of the rechargeable battery does not need to be too large, the driving of the electromagnet can be realized through the voltage boosting circuit, and the cost of components can be saved.

[0038] Since the fireproof window curtain is provided with a manual mechanism, the fireproof window curtain can also be used instead of a conventional window curtain. Through the structural design of the manual mechanism and the limiting rotation mechanism, when the pull bead is manually pulled, the rotation of the handle disc to the rotating shaft can overcome the spring push force of the elastic limiting rod, so that the rotating shaft mechanism rotates, the fireproof curtain is retracted or released in a manual mode, the window is blocked, and the traditional function of shading is realized.

[0039] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any change made on the basis of the design principles of the present application and non-creative labor shall belong to the protection scope of the present application.
