Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of curtain accessories, in particular to a scroll spring load generating mechanism, a load component and a free-suspending curtain. Background Art

[0002] Patent number CN201922411348.0 discloses a balancing force assembly for cordless curtains, which discloses the following technical solution: A balancing force assembly for cordless curtains, relating to the field of cordless curtain accessories, includes a coil spring guard, a coil spring shaft, and a spring. The coil spring guard includes an end, two reinforcing ribs, and a fixed disc. One end of each of the two reinforcing ribs is fixedly connected to the end, and the two reinforcing ribs are arranged correspondingly. A plurality of fixed discs are equidistantly arranged between the two reinforcing ribs, and the center of each fixed disc is provided with a perforation. The spring is spiral-shaped, and one end located at the center of the spring has a mounting hole, and the other end located at the outside is bent with an arc-shaped buckle. According to the utility model, the spring can automatically balance the elastic force according to the length of the curtain being pulled down, so that the elastic force and the weight of the curtain being pulled out are offset, so that the device can stably and reliably output torque to the outside, achieving the purpose of fixing the curtain length. At the same time, the number of springs installed can be adjusted according to the weight of the curtain, so that the torque generated by the multiple springs can be adapted to the weight of the curtain.

[0003] In actual production, precisely balancing the weight of curtains requires preparing a variety of springs of varying specifications for selection based on actual conditions. This means manufacturers need to produce and store a large number of spare springs, increasing production costs and management complexity. Furthermore, in practice, the weight of curtains can vary depending on factors such as material and thickness, making subtle adjustments difficult to achieve with existing designs. Consequently, in some cases, even with the appropriate spring replacement, achieving the desired balance may not be achieved.

[0004] Furthermore, since the performance parameters of each spring (such as the spring constant) are fixed and difficult to change once selected, this limits the flexibility of the system to some extent. For those who want to adjust the curtain state according to seasonal changes or personal preferences, this lack of adjustability is obviously not user-friendly.

[0005] In summary, although existing cordless curtain balancing force assemblies have solved the problems of traditional curtains to a certain extent, they still face many challenges in practical application. In view of this, a scroll spring load generating mechanism, load assembly, and free-hovering curtain are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a scroll spring load generating mechanism, a load component and a free-suspending curtain, which can adjust the balancing force within a certain range for an existing balancing force component.

[0007] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the application body slot is connected to the edge of the load mounting plate, a chamfer or fillet is provided on the top of one end of the application body block, chamfers or fillets are provided on both sides of the chamfer or fillet, the side of the application body block is inclined, and the application body slot is adapted to the shape of the application body block.

[0016] A load assembly includes the scroll spring load generating mechanism, and also includes a scroll spring shaft, multiple balancing force mounting plates, a reinforcing rod, multiple scroll springs and terminals. The multiple balancing force mounting plates and terminals are arranged in a straight line to form a columnar structure. The balancing force mounting plates are provided with balancing force slots. The scroll spring shaft passes through the multiple balancing force mounting plates and the terminals. The reinforcing rod connects the multiple balancing force mounting plates and the terminals.

[0017] A free-hanging curtain comprises the load assembly.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a scroll spring load generating mechanism, which is used to generate load for the existing balancing force component. After assembly is completed, its connecting shaft is connected to the scroll spring shaft of the balancing force component and is installed in the curtain aluminum tube.

[0032] Specifically, during operation, when the curtain moves up or down, the balancing force component will be driven to move.
